What is Homeopathy?

Homeopathy is an effective and scientific system of healing which assists the natural tendency of the body to heal itself. It recognizes that all symptoms of ill health are expressions of disharmony within the whole person. In order to improve a person’s health all symptoms are taken into consideration for prescription which is referred to as a Homeopathic Remedy. Homeopathy is based on the notion that ‘likes cures like”, which uses substances that can cause certain symptoms, when potentized sufficiently can be used to remove those same symptoms experienced by a person who is ill. (see Remedies).

Why Homeopathy

Homeopathy is a Medical Science that effectively cures symptoms and diseases. Symptoms are not treated in isolation but through the consideration of the person’s history and symptoms. Deep healing occurs by improving or eliminating a person’s symptoms. This allows a person to experience greater freedom and return to their authentic self, often feeling better than before the symptoms and pains started.

In Quantum Physics, energy is matter. The body’s functioning is the effect of the Vital force which inhabits our bodies. Symptoms treated on a biochemical level only suppress and alleviate, but do not cure on a deep level. Homeopathy heals the whole person. A homeopathic medication, called a remedy, will be prescribed based on the totality of a patient’s symptom. No disease or symptom is just local it is intertwined with a person’s, feelings and thoughts, which must be equally considered when finding a remedy. The person is seen as a unified whole.

Homeopathy as preventative medicine

Homeopathy cures chronic and acute conditions by getting to the core and dynamic of the disease/symptoms and works with the total organism rather than a few symptoms. By removing the underlying causes of disease – it is a true preventative system of medicine. Patients who are effectively treated early on with homeopathy for some minor or major health complaints will more likely not develop serious health conditions later on.

Remedies

All remedies are Health Canada and FDA approved and are manufactured in professional pharmacies.

Homeopathic remedies are made from a variety of substances, such as minerals and plants and animal products etc. They are prepared through a series of dilutions and succussions (forceful shaking) which release the medicinal force of crude substances. This process renders natural products non-toxic, while increasing their potency, thus producing a safe and curative remedy. Remedies are diluted in an alcohol base then dropped onto lactose granules for easier digestion.

A patient is given a homeopathic medicine or remedy which matches their symptoms as he/she experiences them. The remedy is individualized, meaning it takes into account your individual
characteristics emotionally as well as physically. As an experienced practitioner I choose a remedy with the help of an extensive database of close to 4000 remedies.

Some interesting facts about Homeopathy

Homeopathy has been used for over 200 years to successfully treat diseases. The death rate of people being treated with Homeopathy for cholera in the last century and the Spanish flu in 1918 was less than 5%, whereas half the people died who were treated conventionally.

Many physicians are also practicing Homeopaths. Canada’s first female physician was a Homeopath. In the beginning of the last century there were also many homeopathic hospitals in Canada, the U.S, England and Germany. Patients still are treated today in the Royal Homeopathic Hospital in London.

American Presidents, Queen Elizabeth II as well as Mahatma Gandhi have been treated with Homeopathy.

It is the fastest growing alternative medicine worldwide and is after conventional medicine the most widely used.

Further Reading

Some of the books I recommend for everybody who is interested in Homeopathy:

  1. The Promise of Homeopathy – Impossible Cure by Amy Lansky. This book is a fun and an entertaining read which gives you a great insight into Homeopathy. Amy Lansky, the author was inspired by witnessing her son’s autism getting cured with Homeopathy.
  2. The Science of Homeopathy by George Vithoulkas. I recommend this book to those who would like to study Homeopathy.
  3. The Emerging Science of Homeopathy by Paolo Bellavite, M.D. and Andrea Signorini, M.D. I recommend this book for those who are in Medical research or are scientifically oriented as it explains how biodynamic and nanopharmacology work.

These books can be purchased at my office.
