About Homeopathy
Homeopathy is a complete system of medicine
developed over 200 years ago which stimulates the body's inherent
ability to heal itself. Homeopathy recognizes each of us as a unique
human being requiring individualized treatment. It is based on a
unique set of principles. The word homeopathy is derived from the
words "homeo" and "pathos" meaning "similar
suffering" and describes the first principle of homeopathy,
The Law of Similars. A very simple example is the red onion. Chopping
an onion usually produces stinging and watery eyes in a healthy
person. However, when prepared homeopathically and given in minute
dosage Allium Cepa is a very helpful remedy for hay fever. Treatment
is of potential benefit to most people and has application over
a broad range of conditions. Many chronic conditions that are a
challenge to conventional medicine such as colitis, arthritis, migraines
and depression respond very well to homeopathic treatment which
addresses the whole person not just the symptoms of disease.
In the last few years studies have been published
in various prestigious medical journals such as the Lancet, British
Medical Journal, British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, International
Journal of Immunology and Pediatrics, and Human and Experimental
Toxicology. These studies have demonstrated the biological activity
and therapeutic benefits of homeopathic medicines. Recently, studies
were conducted by German physician, Marianne Heger and staff at
the Homeopathy International Research Centre. Their clinical studies
involved physicians from all over the world. Over 10,000 patients
with varying complaints participated. Data was entered directly
at the physicians' offices where the examinations were made. The
study compared the effectiveness of homeopathic treatment vs. conventional
drug treatment. Heger reported, "We were surprised. We expected
that homeopathic medicines would be as good as conventional medicines
and we were surprised to find that Homeopathy in this period did
much better than the conventional medicine. The patients had quicker
results, significantly fewer side effects and a distinctly higher
satisfaction level with the treatment (79% vs. 65%)."
These kind of results seem almost unbelievable in Canada where
Homeopathy is only beginning to build a following. In Europe and
many other parts of the world it is a different story. Homeopathic
medicines are commonly prescribed by physicians and homeopathic
practitioners alike. Many people use Homeopathy as a regular part
of health treatment. Even the British Royal Family has a homeopath.When
your child is sick there is, of course, no substitute for consulting
with your family physician. A homeopathic practitioner is not a
medical doctor. However, Homeopathy provides a wonderful compliment
to standard medical care.Homeopathy is widely recognized to be safe.
Medicines have no lasting side effects and can be taken with conventional
medication without risk of interaction.
