Distinguishing homeopathyfrom other treatment modalities [Hahnemann; Law of Similars; Retracing]

[Guest guest]

No, it does not, not even remotely so. Here is my request/suggestion: reread

ALL that I wrote, retained below. Take it slowly, absorb it, process it,

think it through. What I wrote about the " Law of Similars " bears little

resemblance to your rewrite.

Elchanan,

I agree and I think it has been proven that this does work. If one eats a

bit of garlic, is that not a tiny amount of the substance?? It is diluted in

the foods it is put in. Some people take the garlic capsules that becomes

diluted in the water they drink it down with. I think that it falls in the

category of Homeopathy. Don't you?

 

Law of Similars = " Like cures Like " . So given that.......if garlic is a

poison, would it not kill a disease process? It is ingested in a relatively

tiny amount.

 

Perhaps I'm just fishing for a reason to keep it around. LOL

Hi Jeannie,

 

I'm responding here only to the portion of your email excerpted below.

 

Homeopathy is based upon profoundly different principles than the other

substance-based treatment modalities of which I am aware. All the other

modalities arise in the context of chemistry ... the substance you " take "

or " administer " is supposed to act chemically in some specified way.

 

In contrast, homeopathy uses only a tiny, TINY amount of the substance

diluted 1/100, 1/1000, sometimes more, in water. There is no reliance upon

chemistry at all. Instead, Samuel Hahnemann's idea was that the mere

presence of a hint of a substance would motivate or trigger the body's own,

innate response to an existing symptom or condition. j

 

Hahnemann coined the " Law of Similars " , as follows: If you have a symptom,

and if a given substance is also known to trigger the same symptom, then

regardless of whether that substance bears any relationship to the problem

at hand, simply exposing one's system to that substance, in a minute

quantity, would energetically trigger the body to cleanse and heal itself.

In other words, homeopathy is energy work, not biochemical therapy,, 100%.

 

Hahnemann also coined the term " retracing " to describe the recurrence or

reappearance of old, unfinished symptoms in the presence of the " right "

triggering homeopathic. In other words, the body would go back and finish

whatever cleansing and restoration work it had been unable to complete in

the past. I incorporate this idea into my teaching.

 

Does this help clarify?

 

Best,

Elchanan
