Let’s review a bit of history. Homeopathy was invented from the findings of Dr. Samuel Hahnemann(1745-1843), a German physician and chemist who was not satisfied with medical practices common at that time. He stopped his medical practice and began his quest of providing a different kind of healthcare with the principles of ‘similars’. As he continued his research he proved that substances that caused symptoms in healthy people, would alternatively relieve symptom(s) in sick people. This is a concept that is the principle of homeopathy – similia, similibus, curantur, let likes be cured by likes. Homeopathy is a system of medicine that stimulates the body’s healing mechanism to heal itself.
Almost any type of health issues could be helped with homeopathy. For most of the health issues, along with western medicine, homeopathy can play big role for healing. Homoepathy is based upon the principle of deeper healing. A healing process that is stimulated by the body’s own defense mechanism. Call our clinic and we are always here to have an open discussion if your health issue could be helped by homeopathy.
Let’s start with the U.S. , more than 6 million people use homeopathy for treating specific health conditions and more than 200 million people use homeopathy on a regular basis worldwide.
Although many homeopaths are not registered medical practitioners with the designation of doctors, in the U.S. many homeopaths are trained medical doctors and have expanded their training in homeopathy. There are many homeopaths who are extensively trained in homeopathy who are capable of prescribing homeopathic remedies from acute to most chronic conditions.
The World Health Organization recognizes homeopathy as being the second most used medical system in the world. It has been estimated that over 200 million people around the globe use homeopathy as their main medicine system.
The short answer is NO. This is something that has been spread out since homeopathic medicines are so diluted, there must be water or/and alcohol in it and it must be nothing but a placebo effect. This idea came from the beginning days of homeopathy ( from the early 1800’s) as the practitioners from that time felt threatened by such a revolutionary medicine system. During the olden days, standard practice involved treatment with high doses of crude medicine and even draining blood out of human bodies to get rid of diseases. These practices were not only harmful, but sometimes were very inhumane.

My urge to the reader is, please don’t close your mind to the evidence that homeopathy works and it works to heal some of the most serious ailments. It works on infants, on animals, and even on plants.
Homeopathic remedies are made mainly from three sources. Plant, mineral and animal. Over 75% of the remedies come from the plant kingdom, where the flower, leaves, root or even the whole plant is used. Our planet is full of many minerals, and there is a variety of minerals homeopathic mineral remedies are prepared from. Minerals such as, iron, gold, tin, copper, and many more are used to make remedies. Homeopathy has a great collection of remedies prepared from animal sources. Animal remedies could be prepared from insects, flies, spiders, venoms, etc.. There are also some special remedies, called nosodes, are prepared from pathogens, viruses, and microbes. Nosodes are used for special cases.
The method of homeopathic remedy preparation is called potentization, that utilizes a very minute quantity of the original substance. A very small portion of any substance, as one part, is mixed with 99 parts of distilled water or alcohol. This solution is then succussed(shaken) vigorously and it is called 1C potency. Now out of this solution, one part is taken and mixed with 99 parts of alcohol or distilled water and succussed again. That produces a 2c potency of the remedy. The process goes on until a desired potency is reached, such as , 30c, 200c, 1000c, 10000c, etc..
Absolutely! The infinitesimal amount of original substance in higher potency medicines, where there is no detectable substance in the potency higher then 12c. What is left behind is the power or energy of the remedy, which is also called dynamic power, capable of changes in the body to bring about the healing process.
In the U.S. , since 1988 homeopathic remedies are strictly regulated by the FDA; from sourcing the substance to manufacturing process.
