Just to clear up a point on Homeopathy and my opinion of it, and discussions of it on this list.

 

I have never squelched discussions on Homeopathy on HR. The message files will verify this, and there have in the past been some rip-roaring discussions on it.

 

I personally just happen to be in disagreement with some of the practices used within it. The intrinsic principles of Homeopathy are sound, and many have experienced success at various times when using it.

 

My " opinion " on the subject is that over the years it has been perverted with the use of " Heavy Metals " and " Poisons " such as Mercury and Arsenic. I think that it could be organized much better than it has, with some heavy research (not done by me ;o)leveled at improving the science, and bringing it into a uniform workable technology.

 

My other prejudice against it, is that it has never, ever worked for me personally. It's not as if it was a " Bad " result. It was simply a " No " result. I've just never, ever had it work for me under at least a dozen circumstances where used.

 

Homeopathy is a Naturopathic science, and as such is ON Topic for this list. ;o)

Dear Doc,

 

I would like to reply to your comments on homeopathy and the use of metals and poisons.

 

Homeopathy is based on two fundamental principles. The law of " the infinitisimal dose " and " the law of similars " .

 

As an energy medicine, homeopathy when properly understood and practiced by experienced prescribers is a powerful system of medicine whose aim is to stimulate the healing mechanism of each individual.

 

As an energy medicine it uses substances which in their material doses are able to produces dysfunctions and pathology. In their material doses, I repeat. In their diluted preparation they are able to cure.

 

Homeopathy does not give any material doses. The remedies are made through a process of dilution and succussion to render them potent enough to stimulate the healing ability so as to restore health. In doses that are infinitesimally small, so as not to be poisonous etc. At these levels of dilution you have no trace of the material itself, all that remains is it's energy " imprint " .

 

Homoeopathy does not see symptoms as the disease per se but as the natural expression of the body trying to cure itself. e.g. a fever is not to be treated on its own as the fever is the body's attempt to overcome infections etc.. A homeopath will look at all aspects of the expression of the disease in order a affect an efficient prescription. That is why medicines bought over the counter and prescribed like conventional medicines are rarely curative.

 

In order for remedies to " work " they have to be prescribed according to the law of similars, which means that the whole picture of the expression of the disease, and whole picture of the medicine used (these have been devised from clinical experience), is what is characteristic to both.

 

They are many schools of homeopathy in the world, but the system which is the most widely recognised for its results, is the classical approach where the prescriber uses one remedy at one time, this remedy matching as closely as possible the picture of the patient.

 

Homeopathy is also used as a preventative medicine.

 

Regarding metals and poisons. It will be evident from what has been said earlier that the use of metals and poisons in homeopathy is nothing like the medicinal usage of these in conventional medicine. In fact, homeopathy is used to clear the poisons from the systems according to the law of similars.

 

If you go to www.homeopathic.com/ailments/toxin.htm... you will find an article about poisons and homeopathic medicines. This article is part of the book by S. Cummings and Danna Ullman entitled: Everybody's guide to Homeopathic medicine. The book by Lynne Mc Taggart entitled The Field is interesting to give some insight into scientific investigations now being undertaken, into energy fields.

 

Having said all this, a good hygiene of life is essential; to rely purely on any system of medicine, be it conventional herbal or homeopathic, in order to achieve good health while disregarding food etc. is not taking responsibility for ones health. So homeopathy and naturopathy go hand in hand...

 

People who don’t believe that homeopathy, properly applied according the the law of similars by experienced prescribers, offers vast possibilities to cure in a gentle, fast and sometimes incredibly unexpected manner, should see a bird in a state of fright being given a remedy and immediately calming down, or an infant covered in eczema from head to toe being cured permanently in 5 days.

 

Homeopathy is an art and a science. It is both difficult and rewarding. As the prescription is based on objective observation of the patient and a profound knowledge of the Materia Medica of the medicine, it is obvious that it takes years of study and practice to yield good results from the part of the prescriber.

 

Lastly, there are processes in nature which have not been acknowledged as yet by science, that does not make them invalid.

 

In conclusion, unlike other medicine, there is no such thing as " a " homeopathic remedy for a specific condition. " Homeopathic " remedies bought over the counter are homeopathic, and therefore able to cure, only if they are chosen according the the principles of homeopathic philosophy, as described above.

 

Yours, with kindest regards,

Jocelyne

Dear Jocelyn,

 

You are absolutely right in your rebuttle ;o)

 

I know it works, because of the many I've talked to who've had great

successes with it.

 

This is why my post was of a personal nature. I've had long time

professional practioners work on me in the past who've spent hours

questioning me, then applying a program to no avail.

 

It's just me ;o)

 

Love,

 

Doc
