Homeopathy
![]() Dr. Samuel Hahnemann Our natural vitamins, minerals and Homeopathic supplements for Fibromyalgia have proven to be extremely effective in the treatment of fibromyalgia symptoms.
What Is Homeopathy?
The term Homeopathy (or Homoeopathic) is derived from the Greek words “homoios”, meaning “like” or “similar;” and “pathos”, meaning “suffering” or “disease.” Homeopathy is a treatment system of medical therapeutics based on the principle of “similae” or “simile.” The great Homeopathic principle is (in Latin) “similia similibus curentur”, meaning “Let like be treated by like.” Homeopathy finds its first roots recorded in the writings of Hippocrates (470 - 400 BC), the “Father of Medicine”, wherein he stated that healing is found in the methods of “contraries” and “similars.” Hippocrates wrote that, "Disease is eliminated through remedies able to produce similar symptoms." These ideas were later refined by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann (1755 - 1843), a Medical Physician who, through a process of experimental and scientific discovery, largely developed what Homeopathic Medicine is today.
Dr. Hahnemann demonstrated that Homeopathic principles of simile and potency could cure Typhoid and Cholera exceptionally better than the conventional medicine of his day. (Cholera and Typhoid were then epidemic in Europe because of 3 major wars - the Seven Years' War, the French Revolution, and the Napoleonic War.) Hahnemann healed 180 cases of Typhus with only one fatality. One of his pupils lost only six Cholera patients among 154 treated, whereas in the same town of the 1500 patients treated by orthodox methods, 55% (825 people) died.
Homeopathic Medicine and the principle of simile is protected by law by the British Parliament, and also by the United States Congress as a practical and legitimate method of medical practice. Today, unlike nutritional substances, Homeopathic substances are considered medicines, recognized as powerful entities which allow specific medical claims to be made about them.
What Is The Basis Of Homeopathy?
The principle of “similae” or “simile” is the principle that certain substances (herbs, minerals, inorganic salts, and other organic materials, etc.) in full strength yield the same symptoms as does a known disease, and that those same substances when “potentised” (or diluted and vigorously agitated or “succussed”) can provide relief of those same symptoms. Titrated dilutions and succussions of a particular substance can often be the means to bring relief from diseases which cause the same symptomology as that which the identical substance in full strength causes (be it herb, mineral, or other organic material).
Each time a patient is treated with something in a diluted potency, which in its full strength or stronger potency is known to cause similar symptoms, the principle of “similars”, or “simile” is applied. More accurately, whenever an identical substance is used in a weaker potency to treat the symptoms that a stronger potency has caused, it is called “isopathy” in conventional medicine. Within this definition, a mild potency of penicillin is used to clear up an allergic rash caused by full strength penicillin. Vaccinations can be said to follow the simile principle in isopathy as well. A diluted and weakened strain of a microbe can effect the body's Immune System and strengthen it so as to defend against disease.
Likewise, small dosages of x-rays and radium can help treat cancer, but stronger dosages of x-rays and radium will cause cancer as well. Some treatments of immunological and allergic reactions are dependent on the use of diluted tissue products, or “sera”, derived from infected or sensitized individuals to produce a response in the patient to that very infection or sensitizing agent. Whenever a sick patient is treated by using a method or a drug which can cause a similar picture of symptoms in other persons, the Homeopathic principle is applied, whether we know it or not. Again, it seems that the principle of “simile”, or “let like be treated by like”, is used more often than realized.
