As a Homeopathic practitioner I’m often asked how long it will take to be cured of XYZ diagnoses.  In this article I’m going to address the issue of what is cure and how long does it take, from a Homeopathic perspective.

The first and foremost thing which needs to be grasped about Homeopathy is that Homeopathy does not cure XYZ diagnoses or pathology.  Homeopathy does cure the person by the natural laws of atonement. From the Homeopathic perspective, the root of disease is a distortion in you life energy field which eventually results in physiological changes to the atoms, cells, tissues, and organs of the body. In simpler terms, you got bent out of shape. In Homeopathy, cure is when the mistunement of the dynamic energetic vital force of a person is brought back to it’s proper human tone.  This manifests as a restoring of the self’s proper understanding of itself in relationship  about a person, object, act, or event, which in turn restores appropriate behavior to the situation, which in turn restores an ordered physiology, which drives out disease freeing the mind from the shackles of the body along with it’s subjugation to it’s trauma, grief, and abuse cycle.

Just as in putting any imbalance back into order, there is a process which must be worked through in order to reach a cure.  The more off balance the issue is, the longer and more complex this process will take.  Just as any person who has fallen into a life of crime, abuse, and addiction must go through a process in order to atone, so must a person with disease.  In this there are no short cuts but there are tools of providence.   So when a person calls me to ask how long will it take to be cured, these are the things I tell them:

1.  The longer this problem has been progressing, the longer it will take.  A problem which began in childhood will require a longer journey of atonement than a sudden acute illness which popped up a few days ago.

2.  The deeper and more destructive the changes are in the mind and body, the longer the journey will be.  The journey will require that destruction must abate and be replaced with less severe and more superficial problems moving back in time gradually over time.  A cancer of the bladder may go away and be replaced with a cystitis to go away and be replaced with a rash on the lower abdomen, then to move out of the body.  This notion bothers some people just as the notion may bother the recovering addict who has to go make amends and restitution to people he hurt and damaged.  The only thing I can say to this, in my humble opinion, is that there is no other way out of hell but the law of atonement.

3.  Though this may sound like hard work requiring real commitment, which is true, you will feel your light, life, and health growing stronger from the start of your first good remedy as you atone in mind, emotions, and body.  You will find your ease of body return as a result of your will and understanding acting in proper balance and proportion being restored.

4.  Each individual is unique and the healing journey will be unique to each individual.  This will be your journey unlike anyone else’s and it will be my honor to help you on your healing path by the law of atonement that similar cures similar. In this effort, I will never quit and and never waiver so long as you never quit even if you do waiver at times.

I find it very peculiar at times when I hear someone who tried Homeopathy profess that Homeopathy doesn't work.  When I ask how they know it doesn't work they tell me they went to some Homeopath, took a remedy and their long standing chronic illness didn't get better.  I'll ask them how long they gave Homeopathy a try and they will usually say once.  I will ask them how many Homeopaths did they consult before they gave up and they say they just went to one and concluded Homeopathy doesn't work.  They convince themselves, and unfortunately convince others, who could greatly benefit from Homeopathic treatment, to never give it a try.  Even more peculiar is that when I ask how they feel about the traditional allopathic methods they tried, they don't speak in such absolute conclusion about allopathy.  They often went to many doctors, took may medications and treatments, but kept telling themselves that they just didn't find the right medicine or doctor.  One has to wonder why these people are so lax on traditional medicine and so harsh on Homeopathy? Hopefully this blog will give answer to the question for those who found that their Homeopathic treatment did not work.

Wrong medicine:  Homeopathic medicines are selected based on individual characteristic symptoms which the patient has.  It is not a one medicine fits all method like traditional medicine.  We now have well over 1000 Homeopathic medicines and more are being added every year.  The Homeopathic practitioner must carefully investigate your mental, emotional and physical symptoms and find the correct similimum match in our materia medica out of so many medicines.  This can take time, several months even, even several years in some cases.  However, when the similimum is found, the changes can bring permanent resolution to many suffering chronic illness or bring long lasting improvement.  In my opinion, this is a much better long term outcome than taking suppressive toxic, addictive allopathic medication which merely offer short term gain in exchange for long term pain.

It is also possible that you could be one of those occasional patients where the substance which would be your correct similimum has not been made into a Homeopathic medicine.  There are Homeopaths who have had brilliant cures with patients when they figured out the substance the patient needed and then had the Homeopathic medicine made for that patient.

Wrong practitioner:  There is a story about one of Samuel Hahnemann's students who tried to cure his wife using Homeopathy and she died.  The student sent Hahnemann a mean letter blasting Homeopathy as a failure.  Hahnemann sent him back a letter rebuking this young student, telling him that you may deride the practitioner but that it was foolish to deride Homeopathy.  Just as patients are unique individuals, so are practitioners.  You may need to try more than one practitioner before you find the one who will solve your case.

Case is not Homeopathic:  Proper application of Homeopathy is based on treating inherent chronic misaims of the life energy field which makes people susceptible to chronic disease, or treating acute misaims which make people susceptible to flu and epidemic illnesses.  If you consumed some poison, got bitten by a snake, received fractures in and accident, suffer from substance abuse, Homeopathy alone won't be the proper treatment for your situation.  Any qualified practitioner can usually find this out through investigation.

Complicated Cases:  Often, by the time a patient gets around to Homeopathy, there has been years of allopathic suppression, disease and symptoms caused by the drugs, and surgeries which have given the patient unnatural disease and confused the case. Many people can still benefit from Homeopathic treatment in these cases but often give up because results don't come quick and spectacular as they can for those who stayed away from traditional allopathic methods.

Obstacles to cure: Obstacles to cure are things which stop a person from healing even when the best remedy is found.  They either stop the remedy or deplete the vitality needed for healing.  Among these obstacles are; taking suppressive allopathic medication while receiving Homeopathic treatment, consuming camphor, eucalyptus, menthol, taking other incompatible alternative treatments in conjunction with Homeopathy, extremely stressful environment, and personality disorders which bring in patients who have ulterior motives to healing.

So if you are going to take Homeopathic treatment, keep all of this in mind so you can maximize the potential benefits you can receive if you are suffering illness. At the very least, cut the Homeopathic practitioner the same slack you would the traditional medical practitioners and give time to investigate and try a few remedies and also try different practitioners.  Then if after that you get no results, the best you can say is that Homeopathy did not work for you yet and you gave up on it.  Chances are, that if you follow this simple advice, you will see good results, even better results than others methods can offer.  There is a good reason Homeopathy is the second most used form and medicine in the world.

Over the course of many years I have come across many teachings and beliefs on dreams and their interpretation.  There are those who profess that dreams show us the future, show solutions to critical life problems, give us messages from God, take us to alien planets, or put us in touch with angels and animal totems.  It is believed that the images in dreams are symbols sending powerful mysterious messages we must decipher to find meaning in our lives.  Of all of these views about dreams, I haven't ever come across any which are so accurate, rational and useful as the Homeopathic view of dreams and their meaning.  This blog is going to define the nature and cause of dreams and explain how to roots of disease are indicated in dreams.

What is a dream?

In Homeopathic practice, dreams are internal mental stories which express the sensations which a person has strong attachment or aversion towards.  Further, that because these sensation polarities are not in accordance with the agreed upon societal modes of behaving, they can't be acted upon in the waking world and thus our vital force produces dreams to give outlet to those impulses to preserve health as much a possible.

For example: If a person has attachment to destructive sensations, like pounding, stabbing, exploding, burning, his vital force produces dreams of fighting and war.  In waking life he will tend toward crime gangs, military occupation or like to watch these things on T.V.  If he can act out in life, his physical health remains relatively unaffected, but if he can't, he must suppress and deny these sensation which effect his health.  Then the vital force give release through dreams to preserve health.

Another example: If a person has sensations of failing in structure like falling, collapsing, crumbling, shattering, melting, he vital force produces dreams of falling, being unable to stand in a crisis, being weak in the face of attack, being naked in public, being incapable of keeping up with work or school, or being left behind.  In life he struggles to be capable and successful in face of societal expectation and develops pathology which cause failure in structure. 

How to use dreams in Homeopathic healing: 

Classical Homeopaths usually question a patient about their dreams, how they feel in the dream and what kinds of body sensations they get while describing it. This information is often critical in solving a case because almost all of our remedies produce the kinds of sensations and imagery experienced in the dreams.  Every single substance has it's unique quality to produce sensations and imagery when tested on healthy people and thus we get our materia medica.  Through this we get deep insight into the workings of nature and how it is directly connected to human suffering.  We get to, as Hahnemann put it, "to see what is sick in the patient and what is curative in the medicine".  When we give the patient the Homeopathic medicine which mirrors his own sensations and dreams, his vital force and mind can't hold on to his original problem and must shift attention to the Homeopathic Medicine which runs it's limited course leaving the vital force free of it's original problem.  The two mirroring issues have cancelled each other out leaving the life to flow freely and unobstructed thus allowing restoration of health to the whole being.

Eczema, psoriasis, along with all other skin eruptions and inflammations are a cause of tremendous inconvenience for billions of people world wide.  None of us wants to go through life itching and we all want to have attractive skin when we face the world everyday.  Homeopathy offers natural remedies for people suffering from skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. However, effectively treating anyone with long standing skin problems requires an understanding which is more than skin deep.

A chronic skin condition is never just about the skin.  From the Homeopathic perspective, there is a natural law in that the dynamic vital force in each individual protects the survival of the body by directing any vital mistunement to the least threatening area of survival for the body.  The skin is the area of the body which can receive the most pathology without causing serious dysfunction to the person.  This is why we can often trace the story of a diseased person which began with a skin condition way back in early life.

As part of this natural law of the vital force in how it protects survival, there is the consequent law that if methods are used which suppresses the vital force’s function, such as drugs like steroid creams, then the sick energy will have to express itself in a deeper more vital area of the body's function.   We know this because Homeopathy has long standing case records which show asthma coming on after rashes were suppressed with drugs.  We see heart problems come on after years of suppressing arthritis.  This is opposed to the law of cure which states that healing occurs when the sickness moves from the more vital areas to the least vital areas, and then on out of the body completely. During Homeopathic treatment, the last a final place the sickness will be before it is gone, is the skin.

So now with a little grasp of these laws of nature, you might be able to see why it is very important that you don’t suppress any skin eruptions such as eczema or psoriasis.  Under effective Homeopathic treatment, your vital force will be stimulated to move any mistunement outwards and downwards.  Depending on how intense this mistunement is or how long you have had your skin condition, it can take time for your skin condition to resolve completely as the healing reaction runs its course.  Consequently, if you fight this process, you can greatly complicate and aggravate your condition which can result in more serious health problems.

Everyone who gets on line to search for some natural remedy for their eczema and other eruptions wants a quick one size fits all solution, but sickness and Homeopathy is so individuated that the correct remedy which will create a healing reaction in you could be one of hundreds.  In order to find the correct Homeopathic remedy for your eczema or skin condition, it will require a qualified Homeopathic practitioner to investigate your unique symptoms and qualities.

“Disease is the cumulative sedimentation and action of an imbalanced thought as it continues to pass through the part or body to be affected, and eventually the exteriorization of such a thought is the disease.”

“The purposes of disease are to purge the body and the breath-from (vital force) and to force the sufferer to learn.  The purging is accomplished by a process of boiling out, when time and condition and place form a juncture.  The suffering is to learn what not to think and do.”

“To be cured is to balance the imbalanced thought thus removing the entire disease.”

Harold W. Percival THINKING AND DESTINY

Long before I read Hanhemann’s works, at the age of 18, I was introduced to these concepts above and took them to heart.  Later when I found myself chronically sick I naturally gravitated to Homeopathy which works within these laws and I got great results. In this article I am going to shift to a different language from Homeopathy to try and make it clearer what the cause, purpose, and cure of disease is.

We as human beings feel, desire, think and breath.  Impressions come through our senses from nature and are presented to feeling.  If feeling attaches to the impression, then it activates desire, which then compels thinking to acquire or avoid.  Along with the process we breath and eat.  The elements in the food are circulated by digestive, circulatory, respiratory, and generative breaths and are effected by that breath through the feeling, desiring, and thinking.  When the feeling, desiring, and thinking are in balance with understanding of the Whole, the breaths flow harmoniously building healthy tissues and organs.  When the feeling, desiring, and thinking are imbalanced, out of proportion, motivated by fear and guilt, then the breaths are disordered.  This causes either too much blood or too little blood to flow to certain areas of the body.  The result are inflammations, anemias, thickening, and thinning which results in symptoms, disfunction, and pathology.

The areas which are effected in the body are determined by the nature of the feeling, desiring, and thinking.  Thinking which centers on sexuality effects the sexual organs.  Thinking which centers on food and possessions centers on the digestive organs.  Thinking which centers on relationships, affections, loves, and hates effect the heart and lungs.  Thinking on intellectual constructions effects the brain.  This is a simplistic view for understanding so don’t take it as total and complete. As example; if a person needs to acquire shelter, possession, food, and thinks to get these things in an honest and proportionate way, no disharmony in energy breath flow is created and the digestive organs are healthy.  If on the other hand, he is fearful and needs to acquire more than what he needs, he engages in lies and deceptions to acquire, disharmony is created, the breath flow is off, the digestive organs are getting too much or too little blood, inflammation or anemia begins.  If harmony is not restored then this progresses to thickening and thinning, and then finally to destruction.

If left uninterfered with by any kind of treatment, the sensations and sufferings start to draw the attention of the mind to the body.  In the early stages, if a person is honest, he can connect his feeling, desiring, and thinking to the sensations and often can change his thinking back to balance and resolve the disharmony.  If he has refused to do so, the problem grows deeper and heavier to draw his attention.  Often the suffering starts limiting the person specifically in the areas of imbalance.  So the person with the digestive problems starts loosing the ability to enjoy food.  The pain keeps him from acquiring money,  enjoying his possessions, and he spends all he has on medical treatments.  These restrictions compel thinking to learn the proper proportion of things until the feeling, desire, mind entity changes to balance.  Needless to say, many do not learn, but I have faith the Intelligence of this Universe has designed things to be just in the end.

Depending on what phase of this process we are in, somewhere along the line we may need tools to help move us back to health, balance, and wholeness.  Once real physical changes start to appear, the imbalance is deeply rooted and becomes almost impossible to change even when we are aware that something is off within our thinking.  This is because the thought takes our light through our feeling, thinking, and desiring and becomes a being with it’s own life, with it’s own will to survive.  This is done by the same laws behind procreation, but it is on the plain of mind.  This is why we can’t stop doing things we know we shouldn’t.

The form of treatment to restore balance is going to have to reach this thought being and take it’s power away so that choice can be restored.  The form of treatment which works with this law is “Similar Suffering Cures”.  This is also the law of atonement.  Instead of attacking the expressions of the thought being or attacking it directly with some suppressive method, the Homeopath offers a mirror image of the suffering which facilitates the purging or boiling out before it reaches a life threatening level.  This purging results from the fact that the mirror image touches at the very level of the imbalanced thinking and breath vibration, restoring order there, which then drives the sickness out as the life rises in more perfect harmony.

It is here that freedom is regained over choices, where delusions are revealed, and understanding is restored.  The mind is then free to pursue the higher purposes of it’s existence.

Unlike any other healing modality that I know of, Homeopathy works by Universal unchanging natural and spiritual principles.  This is very different than theory or personality based methods in that it does not change with the intellectual, political, and commercial fads of the day.  There are a number of Principles which have been identified in Homeopathy, but this article is about what I consider the most profound of all the Laws, which is that Homeopathy operates by the Law of Atonement.

A tone means that there is a vibration of sound or energy which effects matter and calls it into and out of form.  There are tones all through the Universe from the most sublime to the most crude.  The light frequencies are tonal vibrations as are the sounds that are expressed through each animal.  The sun is composed of billions of individual frequencies which effect the matter of the earth to manifest into uncountable forms and functions.  Our thoughts are tones which manifest as dreams, words, and actions which in turn build society’s forms and functions.

Tones or vibrations are created by intention by us as humans and beyond us as humans.  High above our human world of birth and death, harmonious intentions hold sway over all, flowing from the intention of pure love.  The human condition is that of imbalanced inharmoneous intentions which manifest as all the suffering we encounter from birth to death on this material plane.  This is so because we are allowed free will to intend to will, to be, to do, and to have to a certain point.  It is the Universal Intention and tone that we should learn from our experience here so we will choose to bring our intention back into atonement with the Universal Intention.

Because of the love of the Universal Intention, individually and collectively we are sent remedies which tend to move us back towards harmony.  These remedies are always operating by the Law that similar cures similar. One of the most profound collective examples of the remedy is the symbolism of Christ.  Unbearable self loathing and guilt, along with our coping mechanisms of denial, projection, and transference is a condition of brutality, torture, bigotry, and abuse.  This condition almost completely buries our spiritual humanity keeping us from seeing ourselves in others and others in ourselves.  At the time of the Roman empire, this mistunement manifested as hard and bloody civilization if you could call it that.  The remedy in the form of the forgiving man, bleeding on the cross, going through the torture and suffering is so similar to our own inhumanity, that the humanity in us shifts it’s attention away from it’s own denied buried condition to the outside story.   Then the internal humanity rises to feel compassion, empathy, and a desire to be more human and to live by the golden rule.

Homeopathic practitioners are students of this law of atonement and similar curing similar, and how to apply it medicinally on a person by person basis in order to help move the person back toward harmony. We see that each individual has his own unique mistunement within the larger collective mistunment which manifests as ways of thinking, behaving, surviving stress, along with physical symptoms and the objects, acts, and events of life.  Each individual’s unique mistunement is mirrored in the kingdoms of nature by similar forms and functions which when given in medicinal doses to a person will create similar symptoms and conditions.  When given to the mistuned suffering person in the form of the tone of that mirror remedy, the mirror vibration is held before that very will and understanding at the deepest subconscious level which causes the mistuned vital force of the person to shift it’s attention to the remedy causing the vital force to rise to restore harmony in that specific area, thus enabling the person to vibrate more human and more whole with the Universal Intention.  In this event, the entire person gets better because matter must obey the more harmonious vibration and manifest a more orderly working view of the world, behavior, and body.

I hope I have clearly made my case in this article that healing (making whole) happens by the law of atonement from the totality of the human condition to the uniqueness of each individual and that Homeopathy is the healing modality grounded in this Universal Law.  If you have any question about Homeopathy, please read through this blog site and feel free to contact me at 214-587-4560 sfreedomsoul@aol.com.

I was watching this new series “World Without End” where this physician of the middle ages who likes to bleed out patients and wrap deep puncture wounds with dung, comes in conflict with a woman who uses common sense cleanliness, stopping the bleeding, and herbs. In order to get rid of her he accuses her of being a witch and ultimately has her executed. It was exactly the same mentality of the anti Homeopathy gangsters who uses the same kind of language and tactics as those allopathic physicians who had the women healers all murdered in the middle ages. The worst thing is that the people still fall for the same old tricks and deprive themselves of effective healing skills. In this article I’m going to explain what truly motivates this kind of anti-homeopathy aggression.

1.  Fundamentalism:  No matter if it’s religious, political, philosophical, scientific, or materialistic, all fundamentalism shares very clear qualities.  First is that their view is the only correct or true view and no other view will be tolerated.  They will reject any skillful means outside of their permitted formula.  They will want all debate contained within the terminology and framework of their world view.  Next, they will engage in ridicule, labeling, demonizing, and humiliation to gain compliance to their view.  After this they will enforce their view through violence, either directly, or indirectly through the state.  If anyone reads the anti Homeopathy propaganda one will find an abundance of ridicule, even calling Homeopathy witchcraft.  Their articles will demonize practitioners as witches, superstitious, and magical thinking as well as demonizing people who use Homeopathy.  One will find their literature full of calls to pass laws and law enforcement action to shut down Homeopaths.  One article even referred to those who want the freedom to choose for themselves what health modalities they want, as “the cult of free choice”.  They will demand standards of perfection in results which they themselves don’t ever achieve and finally will accuse their victims of doing precisely what they are doing or are intending to do to others.  One of the best examples is where these Homeopathy haters say that Homeopathy is a money making scam!  As if we are driving our mercedes to work every day to our multi million dollar facilities.

2.  Monopoly and Profit:  Usually those who gain the most from witch persecutions don’t actually believe in the fundamentalism at all.  They see this quality in people as a means to enforce their trade guild and monetary interests.  Through consensus consciousness they manipulate the fundamentalists to shut out their competition.  Currently, the anti Homeopathy fundamentalists are well funded by the pharmaceutical industry and medical associations so that they can master the use of computer technology and the internet to make sure their propaganda always comes to the top of any internet search on Homeopathy.  They can afford expensive cartoons and graphics as well as good writers to make their propaganda look legitimate.  It is known that they even have parties and meetings where they formulate strategies on how to slander Homeopathy everywhere in the world.  I ask, why would anyone put so much energy into hating something they themselves are under no duress to take part in?

3.  Fear of Impermanence:  The human condition and ego are such that we develop coping strategies to feel o.k. about ourselves.  In truth, all humans are part of a Whole Consciousness field, but we have thought ourselves into believing we are separated from that Whole.  For many, this brings about an inherent feeling of having committed a crime or offended, thus some kind of divine retribution is coming.  One of the coping mechanisms is to divide ourselves from others and then accuse and condemn them in order to relieve our own suffering.  This fear enslaves the mind to generate intellectual constructions in religion, philosophy, or science which will justify this state of hostility and attack of others.  This ego is also an illusion which fights to convince itself that it is permanent, so the mind is enslaved to create intellectual constructions which seek to enslave the minds of others to agree with those constructions to maintain the illusion of safety and permanence by providing monopoly status and guaranteed profits.  This fear of impermanence is most clearly represented in the medical methods they advocate as if they will wage a scientific war on physical symptoms so that their physical ego never dies.  At the deepest level, they can’t eccept that no one gets out of here alive and thus generate great suffering in order to deny it.

So if you, by chance, have found your way to this article and you have also, or are about to encounter that mass of anti Homeopathy propaganda, keep the above ideas in mind as you do your research.  Rather than letting yourself get pulled into the confines of their narrow world view, or fall into identifying with their ridicule and insults, ask yourself, what is really motivating this attack?  Is it really the concern for the well being of the sick?  I don’t think this can really be in light of the easily verifiable facts concerning the harm which is caused by the methods of treatment they advocate.  Just like the old blood letters, it seems they would have us believe that it is better to suffer and die from the effects of their treatments than to suffer the symptoms of our illness or perhaps try Homeopathy and discover that their is indeed a beneficial method outside their monopoly paradigm.

To my Homeopathic colleagues; no one accused of being a witch could win the argument debating the false paradigm of witch laws and religious fundamentalism.  When faced with these harmful attacks, while we can, we must use the freedom of speech we now enjoy to expose their motives and agenda so that people have more information to make a choice in their health care.  Our objective is to preserve freedom of choice and let them disprove themselves by the empirical evidence they demand.  We can never prove to them Homeopathy works any more than a healer in the middle ages could prove her healing results weren’t of the devil.  However, we can make proof readily available of the harm of the methods they advocate.  We can use our own professional associations to make sure that their Homeopathy hate mongering isn’t the only view point which comes to the top of the search engines.  Finally, we can motivate our patients to see the importance of their own activism to defend their own health freedom.

In conclusion, I will say that it doesn’t appear that the witch (healer) persecutions ended because of any enlightenment of the people at large.  It seems to have ended because the witches (healers) were almost all murdered.  After a long struggle to achieve a nicer humanity since those time, we can work together to make sure that this kind of dark age does not reassert itself under the guise of science and rational materialism.

Though Homeopathy is a very specific holistic health modality and the second most used form of medicine in the world, many people in the U.S. have misconceptions about what Homeopathy is, what it does, and how it works.  It is a term often confused with other holistic, natural alternative methods of healing.

1.Homeopathy is everything natural:  Though we use Homeopathic medicines derived from all the kingdoms of nature to treat people suffering natural diseases, we also use unnatural substances to treat people suffering unnatural diseases. Natural diseases are the pathology and symptoms arising from a mistunement of the vital life force. These are the types of diseases dating back to antiquity such as syphilis, gonorrhea, tuberculosis, leprosy, chronic and acute inflammatory conditions, epidemics, and chronic degenerative diseases.  Un-natural diseases are those created by allopathic drugging interference to suppress natural diseases as well as poisonings.  For example, a person receiving chemotherapy gets a radiation sickness and we might use a potentized Homeopathic remedy derived from radiation to stimulate the life force to throw off those side effects. Homeopathy is not vitamins, diet, herbalism, massage or any method which views either cause of cure of natural disease to be material in nature.  It is specifically the use of diluted potentized and succussed substances which produce similar mental, emotional and physical symptoms the patient has.

2. Homeopathy treats disease:  We have been trained by marketing people to conceptualized X treatment for Y disease name.  Unfortunately this effect has infected those who want to sell Homeopathic remedies because they just don't want to fight the tide so you will see those little bottles in the Whole Foods labeled this way. The fact is, Homeopathy does not treat any disease or condition.  From it's beginning 240 years ago, Homeopathy has always been about treating the person, treating the individual mistuned life force to which the symptoms and disease are as expression of.  This is done by matching the totality of characteristic symptoms of the person to the characteristic symptoms of that remedy.  The name of the disease has little bearing on selection of the proper Homeopathic medicine.

3. There is no proof that Homeopathy works:  This is a misconception mostly promoted by the pharmaceutical industry and materialistic atomic headed fundamentalists.  They claim that anecdotal evidence is not proof though millions have been successfully treated of the most serious problems for over 200 years. Homeopathy's cure rate in pandemics of the past such as the 1918 Spanish flu are well documented.  The problem for them is that because Homeopathy works on the plane of life force, beyond sensory perception, it can't really be shown how it works.  Imagine if people said there was a spring pool where everyone who soaks in it has all joint pains disappear for many years.  Suppose these atom heads were to go there and see person after person get in the pool and have their joint pain gone, these atom heads would claim it didn't work because the evidence is antidotal and that until it can be shown exactly how the pool could cure on the atomic level, use of the pool should be banned.  It is like the story of the man who was hot with a poison arrow and refused the well known curative treatment until he is told, where the arrow was made, how it was made, who shot the arrow, and what was the draw weight of the bow.  By the time the information was gathered, he was dead.  

4. Homeopathy is only for mild ailments:  Homeopathy is used all over the world to successfully treat peoples suffering the most serious diseases like cancer, arthritis, asthma, AIDS, MS, diabetes, chronic pain, and the list could go on and on.  The law that similar cures similar does not abate because of the seriousness of the disease. This does not mean everyone will be cured as many factors come to play to determine cure.  Some will be cured, some will be made better, some are beyond physical cure but can be healed mentally and emotionally to face the end of life with peace.  No matter where one is, Homeopathy can help.

5. Homeopathy is an easy cheap way to self treat:  This is one of the worse misconceptions promoted unfortunately by a few manufacturers of Homeopathic medicines.  Proper Homeopathic prescribing is far more difficult that traditional allopathic prescribing.  It takes tremendous training and practice in materia medica, symptoms investigation, case analysis and case management to successfully apply Homeopathic medicine.  Beyond a few simple first aid application like arnica for bruises, you need to seek consultation with a qualified Classical Homeopath who is either licensed or certified in the standards of Classical Homeopathic Practice.

It is my desire that upon reading his information you now have a better understanding of the misuse and misapplication of the term "Homeopathy". Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or need any more clarification of Homeopathic treatment.
