Homeopathy

By Jeremy Carew-Reid

Homeopathy is a 200 year old science, founded by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann.

Hahnemann graduated from medical school in 1779 and started his own medical practice. He began his first Homeopathic experiments in 1790, as a result of his disillusionment with common medical practices of the day that used toxic chemicals and crude barbaric practices.

He became fascinated with a species of South American tree-bark called cinchona. This bark was used to treat malaria-induced fever. Hahnemann ingested the bark and discovered that it caused symptoms similar to malaria.

Through this discovery he found the law of “like curing like”. For example a substance that caused fever in a healthy person could be used to cure fever in a sick person. This discovery was the basis from which homeopathy developed.

What is Homeopathy?

Homeopathy is a method of treatment that supports the body's own healing mechanism. It’s based on the law of simulars "like cures like".

A Homeopathic remedy is an extremely pure, natural substance that has been diluted many times. In large quantities these substances would cause the same symptoms the patient is trying to cure. In small, pure, diluted doses, it is not only safe but it will trigger the body to heal itself.

For example allium cepa is a remedy that is used for watery eyes and runny nose, it is created from red onion. If you've cut open a red onion you'll notice the same symptoms. When the body creates a similar "symptom picture" to Allium cepa and you take a dose of Allium cepa, it activates the body to go about the process of stopping watery eyes and a runny nose.

The important part of selecting the correct remedy is to 'match' the symptom picture of the remedy as closely to your own symptoms. Symptom pictures or descriptions of symptoms take into account the condition of the whole person, not just one symptom. The goal of the homeopathic doctor is to recognize through the unique expression of symptoms of a patient the pattern of disturbed energy and identify among a great number of remedies available the one most similar to the patient's individual disease.

The practice of original homeopathy is based on 4 cardinal principles:

1. Simulars cure simulars

2. Single remedies

3. Minimal dose

4. Potentized remedies

These cardinal principles are what make Homeopathy a safe and effective system of healing.

Homeopathy practiced in its original form has produced miracle cures though the last 200 years and deserves its place as one of the world’s great healing systems.

Endless cures to an infinite variety of diseases are well documented in books by great homeopath masters like Hahnemann, Boenninghausen, Lippe, Dunham, Hering and others.

To use Homeopathy effectively one must see a Homeopathic practitioner fully qualified in the original science. To find a true master in original Homeopathy is a hard task. Most modern homeopaths have strayed from the original science and hence they have little success rate in curing serious illness.

Homeopathy and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Even though Homeopathy is a brilliant system of healing, it usually remains incomplete for most people with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. The reason being because it doesn’t address the basics of healing like diet, lifestyle, herbal medicines, detoxification treatments, rejuvenation treatments, yoga, massage, mind healing and spiritual evolution. To heal Chronic Fatigue Syndrome you need to address all these areas of healing. Ayurveda the 5000 year old science of ancient India address all these missing links. Making it the most complete healing system of earth. Ayurveda was the potent, powerhouse healing system that finally cured me of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome when every other system failed.

Original pure Homeopathy can be safely combined with Ayurvedic medicine to speed a cure but Homeopathy used alone without Ayurvedic medicine will generally not be effective in curing Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. This is based on my own experience with curing Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

Ayurvedic medicine and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

The supreme panacea for curing Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is Ayurvedic medicine. Ayurvedic medicine is a work of genius. Ayurveda was discovered by yoga masters who acquired this knowledge from God while in deep meditation. This knowledge was then tested and perfected over 5000 years on millions of human beings. It is a unique, complete healing system that contains potent treatments that are not found in any other health science.

Final thoughts

Homeopathy is a very powerful, useful healing system when practiced by a true master of the orginal science. But as stated before, to cure Chronic Fatigue Syndrome you need to address every area of healing. This is where Homeopathy fails and ayurveda shines.
