Quite often I get new patient enquiries who don't really know what Homeopathy is and think that it has something to do with the popular naturopathic methods of detoxing chemicals and heavy metals out of the body to obtain health. These methods of treatment encompass such things as sweating, juicing, enemas, fasting, purgatives, soakings, and saturating the body with oxygen.  None of these things has to do with Homeopathy.  The reason is that the first methods, though called Holistic, are materialistic in their view to cause and effect.  Homeopathy is vitalistic.  You may click to may home page to get the comparing definitions.  It is also an unfortunate fact that some unscrupulous or ill-informed practitioners of various modalities claim to offer Homeopathy for detox.  Buyer beware!

Homeopathy is a vitalistic healing modality, meaning that we view the source of true disease as being a disturbance in the vibration and flow of the life force itself.  We view that it is the natural law of manifestation that life precedes matter and that matter is inert, without order, form of function with the immaterial life energy vibrations to call matter into form and function.  As this is with the body, so it is with the physical world we live in.  Though different aspects or layers of the flow of life, emotional, mental, and consciousness are all part of this life energy. When the flow of life is in harmony with the the Whole harmony of natural and moral laws of oness, matter builds ordered body structures of health.  When out of harmony, matter is disordered causing symptoms, pathology and loss of function.

From this perspective, physical toxicity such as chemicals and heavy metals in the world and in the body are the effects and not the cause of disease.  As the mass of human thought has indulged into ever more toxic thinking along the lines of hate, jealousy, greed, lust, power, and intoxication, humans have manifested these thoughts into the physical environment.  We have toxic industries, using toxic chemicals and metals, toxic food, toxic entertainment, toxic wars, and toxic medical treatments.  All of this originating in the mind and afflicted emotions, thus disrupting the life in harmony with the Whole, which reflects back upon us the nature of our own toxicity.

If you agree with this vitalistic premise, you quickly see that the idea of controlling the outward environment and subjecting the body to, often "deleterious" detoxing regiments is putting the cart before the horse.  Though we may indeed force toxins out of out body resulting in temporary relief of symptoms, the real problem in the life is not solved, so the mind finds it's way back to a toxic environment and the body fills back up with physical toxicity.  If you want to have permanent improvement, your own toxic emotions and thoughts must addressed.  When the toxic mind and emotions are "detoxed", the life in the person flows with unbounded sway which results in wholesome acts, lifestyle as well as making the body's own defenses strong enough to deal with the physical environment.

There are various methods and practices available to detox or purify the mind and emotions of toxic thoughts, feeling and desires.  However, once a certain degree of physical distortion has occurred, mental practices and lifestyle changes alone won't suffice.  This is because there is too much density and momentum in the toxic flow to turn it around by will and practice alone.  This is when you need a healing method, a medicinal method, which is based on this understanding of life and nature.  Homeopathy is just such a method because our medicines are energy which can cause the kind of mental, emotional and physical toxic symptoms a sick person is having.  Because it is natural law that the life force will generate a healing reaching when exposed to a substance mirroring similar symptoms on all levels, harmony will be restored.  Because we dilute and success the medicines until they are mere energy frequencies, there is no actual physical toxicity which can endanger the body. Because Homeopathic medicines effect that area where consciousness, thought and emotions interact, healing will occur at the root of the problem causing a cascade through all the lower layers of matter resulting in the elimination of susceptibility, toxins and symptoms. 

When applying the correct Homeopathic medicine which will generate a healing detoxing reaction in the vital force, the remedy must be selected based on similarity of the symptoms.  Thus, there is no such thing a remedy for detoxing a certain substance or organ.  This is materialistic thinking, not vitalistic thinking. Therefore, to get the remedy which matches your unique symptoms, you must see a qualified Homeopathic practitioner who can investigate your mental, emotional and physical symptoms in order to find the correct remedy.
 
The toxicity problem runs very deep into the human life so I don't want you to view Homeopathy as a quick fix.  However, Homeopathy is a profound healing method based on natural laws in vitalism which can kick start you on your personal healing journey in purifying your mind and body, because it will release you from the limitations in function which keep your from engaging in and making progress in your own self motivated healing and spiritual practices.

Holistic health is a concept in healing practice upholding that all aspects of people’s needs, psychological, physical and social, and mentally should be taken into account and seen as a whole. As defined above, the holistic view on treatment is widely accepted in medicine. A different definition, claiming that disease is a result of physical, emotional, spiritual, social and environmental imbalance, is used in alternative medicine. Holistic health focuses on all facets of human functioning, which involves our taking responsibility for maintaining all aspect of our well-being.

Holistic treatment is the method used to treat the sick from a Holistic health perspective.  There are different views as to what this is.  In this article I’m going to differentiate the Homeopathic perspective of healing the core issue vs. doing a whole lot of different treatments.

I have come across many Holistic alternative practitioners of various modalities who still  take a reductionistic view that things going on in different parts of the body and different spheres of the mind and emotions have to be treated separately but all together by differing treatments for each issue.  From their perspective this is Holistic treatment because they are treating the mental, emotional, and physical issues together.  From this perspective a person may take massage for  tension, detox regiments for heavy metals, dietary changes for weight loss or allergies, supplements for mineral and vitamin deficiencies, meditation to calm the emotions, and counseling for suppressed trauma.  Often these treatments are standard for each patient regardless of what their real individual issues are.   It’s a kind of shot gun approach to which one or some of these things may bring some relief to the person’s suffering.  This approach is often very expensive as each treatment has a price along with the price of vitamins, supplements, or herbal formulas.  Though I’m all for people’s freedom to offer or buy what ever they want in health care, it is a fact that the supplement industry has teamed with some Holistic practitioners in order to sell large quantities of supplements for profit, not much different than the relationship between the pharmaceutical companies and doctors.

The Classical Homeopathic perspective is that each individual is unique and that time must be spent to understand each individual Holistically.  We must carefully distinguish what is true chronic disease from what is environmental, or personal habit.  We must understand how the true chronic imbalance drives the behavior, desires, preferences, and prejudices into manifesting as symptoms, pathology, and outward befallments.  Once we have this understanding, we must use the law of similimum and dynamic remedy, to treat the core issue which will result in an atonement in the will and understanding, which will in turn restore order on the behavioral, emotional, and physical level.  This is treating and healing the whole person, not merely doing a whole lot of stuff to the person.

This is not to say that you wouldn’t need a better diet, a good massage , or an activity regiment, it is merely pointing out that one should not put the cart before the horse and invest a lot of energy and money  in the wrong, unnecessary, or unrelated treatments which will bring no lasting improvement to you as a whole person.  Homeopathy is in fact, a total healing modality in and of itself which encompasses guided meditation and counseling which reveals to the awareness of the core mistunement which is at the root of a persons suffering.  It is the application of correct remedies to bring about chronic and acute disease resolution. It is spiritual counseling to heal errors of identity causing personal conflicts, as well as life style coaching to mitigate obstacles to a persons healing path.  In Homeopathy all of this and more is one systematic method being applied all at once and not separately for different issues.
