Homeopathy

How Homeopathy Works

Very simply, homeopathy attempts to stimulate the body to recover itself. To get a better understanding of exactly how homeopathy works, we have to take into consideration some standard holistic principles.

First, we must accept that all symptoms, no matter how uncomfortable they are, represent the body’s attempt to restore itself to health. Instead of looking upon the symptoms as something wrong which must be set right, we see them as signs of the way the body as a whole is attempting to heal itself. Instead of trying to stop the superficial problem with suppressants, as conventional medicine does, a homeopath will give a remedy that will cause the problem in a healthy person, and thus stimulate the ill body to restore itself.

Second, we must see every case and symptom as that unique individual’s case or symptom. Our bodies are so different, and we each experience health problems in our own distinctive way. Yet conventional medicine acts as if all similar problems are alike, and offers a series of suppressive drugs or protocols for healing that only focuses on the symptoms at hand and not the cause. Homeopathy looks for a substance or remedy that will heal that individual person.

It’s interesting because homeopathy is, by conventional standards, kind of weird, but by the understanding of quantum mechanics it becomes based on hard science.”

Dr. Bruce Lipton

Finally, we need to view homeopathy from more than a chemical sense. Proponents of homeopathy state that the dilution of a plant extract or chemical to a certain point, such as homeopathic remedies are diluted, leaves the extract or chemical untraceable and therefore useless. But this is not the way to view homeopathy, as it is the process of dilution and the information contained in the dilution that makes homeopathy work.

Although validation and the effectiveness can be linked to hundreds of years ago when Dr. Samuel Hanhemann conducted experiments and research of his own on the efficacy of homeopathic remedies, more contemporary research is arising that proves the validation of homeopathy and its usefulness in modern medicine.

Homeopathic medicines are manufactured by repeatedly diluting and succussing a preparation of the original substance, mainly plants, and minerals, in water and alcohol. Validation of the potency of homeopathics and the dilution process can now be witnessed through the research of Shui Yin Lo, a former visiting associate professor in the chemistry department at California Institute of Technology. Lo made a discovery that water when combined with a substance and vigorously shaken, begins to cluster. These clusters grow bigger and stronger as dilution and shaking (succussion) continues. The clusters start to assume a form that mimics the structure of the original substance itself, so even though the chemical can no longer be detected in a chemical sense, its “image” and information is there, taken on by the water molecules. This discovery validates the “potentized” theory behind homeopathics and its efficacy.

In addition, the preservation of specific information within water has been scientifically researched. Water molecules themselves serve as information carriers due to their special geometric composition and the resulting combination of patterns that often takes on a spiral form that binds around ions, enzymes, and other active electromagnetic substances. The existence of “water geometry” as well as water’s stability, even after it has been converted into steam, was proven in both the University of Pennsylvania and Berkeley University studies. These scientific findings give a proper explanation of the vast health benefits of homeopathy.
