Homeopathy is often confused with home remedies and herbal remedies or nutritional
therapy or with the broad field of natural or alternative medicine. Instead, homeopathy is
an advanced system of natural medicine of its own. It is radically different from any other
system of medicine, and has been proven effective, and gentle for over 200 years across the
world.
When homeopathy is practiced at its highest standards, it is the treatment of choice to
recover one's health from the great majority of acute and chronic diseases.
Homeopathy is a scientific method of treatment based on the universal Law Of Similar
meaning like cures like. Even if you have never heard of it, most likely you are familiar
with its effects. For instance, when you badly knock your head against a cabinet, you put as
much pressure onto the bump as you can stand to prevent a huge swelling of the bumped
area. You react with a mild bump to the severe bump.
Another example: Lets take a look at onions. When you chop an onion, pretty soon you will
have burning eyes and tears, as well as a runny nose. These are some of the symptoms
onions cause in a healthy person. When you have a condition with symptoms of a watery
runny nose and burning streaming eyes (such as in hay fever or a cold) similar to what you
get from cutting an onion, the homeopathic remedy allium cepa (onion) corresponds to
your condition and is the curative homeopathic remedy.
This is exactly what homeopathy does: the curative homeopathy medicine will be one that
matches in detail the characteristic symptoms from which the patient is suffering.

The homeopathic method uses remedial doses based on symptoms which are considered
signals to the source problem. Homeopathy is based on the principle that "like treats like".
Like treating a hangover by drinking a small amount of alcohol, or hair of the dog,
homeopathy uses tiny amounts of natural substances to cure the disorder.
Symptoms are essential for finding the curative homeopathic remedy. They are signals from
your body indicating a cure is required from a particular stimulus. The stimulus triggers your
natural defense mechanism/immunity (vital force) to do the healing.
For cure, symptoms need to be overcome by your bodys healing forces. The well-chosen
homeopathic remedy triggers your body to do its own healing. Otherwise, if symptoms are
suppressed, they tend to return in a form worse than previously experienced. For instance,
many times eczema occurs after skin symptoms have been suppressed by topical treatment.
Once a health problem is overcome by using a homeopathic remedy, not only will the
symptoms disappear, but your overall health will be at a higher level than before the illness.
Homeopathic remedies often are a highly diluted dose prepared in a special way to unfold
their curative effects. This makes homeopathy one of the most gentle and most safe
medicines there is.

Chapter 2
Homeopathic remedies are derived from natural sources, and are prepared by licensed
homeopathic pharmaceutical manufacturers. They are approved by the FDA. Many
substances are poisonous, so they are diluted. They are prepared in a unique way so they
are non-toxic and do not cause any side effects, yet bring out remarkable healing capacities
within each individual substance.
More good news. The remedies are available at a fraction of the cost of most prescription
and over-the-counter drugs.

Fundamental
Laws
Of
Classical
Homeopathy
(As
Taught
By
Hahnemann)
The Law Of Similar
This is the fundamental law: Like is cured by Like (similia similibus currentur). A remedy can
cure a disease if it produces in a healthy person symptoms similar to those of the disease.
The Single Remedy Only One Remedy At A Time
Contrary to the current medical practice of frequently prescribing two or more medicines at
one time, classical homeopaths usually give only one remedy at a time. After it is given, its
action is assessed some time later. If it is working, no more medicine is given unless the
improvements experienced either stop completely or are reversed. Combinations of
medicines are not given. This is the only way to observe the process of healing because we
are not sure what the effect of two remedies would be, or the interaction between them,
but we are sure of the effect of a single remedy.
The Minimum Dose
The best results are obtained by giving the minimum amount of medicinal stimulus to get a
reaction from the individuals own healing powers. Currently, there is a lot of
misinformation relating to dosage and repetition of homeopathic medicines actually. Ignore
any instructions that asks you to routinely repeat a homeopathic medicine at set intervals.
Instead remember this simple common-sense rule: If it isnt broke, dont fix it!

Historical Background
As you can imagine, Hahnemann was scorned by many of his contemporaries as it was a
radically different kind of approach.
Homeopathy first gained a huge following in Europe through its effective treatment and
prevention of cholera, typhoid, measles, scarlet and yellow fever with a mortality rate of 3 6 % or less without any side effects compared to 30 to 70% mortality of conventional
medicine.
Dr. Constantin Hering, a German immigrant, founded the first homeopathic medical school
in the United States in 1844. Just like in Europe, homeopathy gained recognition because of
its success in treating the many disease epidemics raging at the time including scarlet

12
fever, typhoid, cholera and yellow fever. In the mid-1850s, patients were leaving orthodox
doctors in droves to be treated by homeopathy.
Homeopathy became very popular in the early 1900s. At that time, there were 22
homeopathic medical schools, 100 homeopathic hospitals and over 1,000 homeopathic
pharmacies. Boston University, Stanford University and New York Medical College were
among those educational institutions that were teaching homeopathy.
However, already in the 1920s many of those medical schools closed.
Homeopathy lost its popularity in the United States mostly for three reasons:
1. Modern drug companies began
releasing drugs such as penicillin that
were easy to administer to patients.
2. The American Medical Association
(AMA) was formed with the declared
purpose of destroying homeopathy. It
funded its activities by granting seals of
approval to any synthetic drug that
advertised in its journal.

Infertility female
I was having a lot of difficulty conceiving my third child was trying for months and months.
I eventually realized after doing LH tests each month that I was not ovulating at all.
After several visits to my GP to see what might be wrong, and who was unable to give me
any definite answers, I felt at a loss. I found a homeopath specializing in fertility. I read
numerous testimonials on her website she had cured decades long cases of infertility
within 4 months, and with an 85% success rate.
I had one consultation with her, she gave me about 5 different remedies turns out I had a
number of hormonal imbalances that had cropped up since the birth of my second child.
Within 2 weeks the remedies worked, the LH test came up positive for the first time in
months. I was pregnant in my next cycle.
It cost me about $200 all up (half of which I was able to claim back on health insurance). I
was amazed. And then I started thinking about all the poor women who stay on IVF for
years, paying thousands of dollars, without any success, and with all the nasty side-effects.
When I returned to my GP to confirm my pregnancy, I mentioned I had been to a
homeopath and fallen pregnant straight away. The response I got was well you would have
fallen pregnant anyway. Interesting.

Hypoglycemia, pustules
I was suffering from frequent attacks of hypoglycemia. I was also suffering from backache
due to protrusion of the disc at the level of L4, 5. Another problem was an eruption of small
pustules at my face. I went to a homeopath in my area named Dr. Bashir Malik. I tried the
medicine and in the period of two months, two of my problems were absolutely solved.
1- Hypoglycemia
2- Pustules on my face
As far as backache is concerned it was not effective to my satisfaction.

Excessive ear discharge in dogs
I would like to relate my experience from a few years ago. I had a beautiful standard poodle
who suffered from ear wax problemssmelly, boot-polish-like substancesvet allopathic
treatment for years of drops, washes, etc. until a vet suggested an operation to straighten
the ear canal. On the way home from the vets, I passed a health shop with a sale of books
and bought a small book, Homeopathy For Pets. It suggested Hepar Sulph. And after just
one week of treatment, his ears were clear and stayed clear till the end of his life at 14 years
old.
I have since recommended this treatment to a friend with a cocker spaniel, with the same
amazing results. This will work for animals who, lets face it, wont be psychosomatically
persuaded. I hope this experience will help, if only just a small amount.

Homeopaths can be medical doctors, and in the United States, many homeopaths are also
chiropractors, naturopaths, osteopaths, nurse practitioners, dentists and veterinarians.
There also are many unlicensed homeopathic practitioners, who usually are without an
accredited medical education or live in a state that does not allow licensing of homeopathy.
State law regulates the licensing of medical professions.
The skills and experience of homeopaths vary. Some start practicing after a few introductory
courses, others start only after many years of training.
So if you are looking for a qualified homeopath, you may want to find out what his
experience and training is, and even look for testimonials. With medically licensed
homeopaths, its a good idea to find out what the proportion of homeopathic treatment is
in his practice.
Other questions to ask are how much time is allowed for a first visit, and what type of
remedies are prescribed. If combination remedies are applied, this is not classical
homeopathy. You cannot expect the same benefits as with classical (single remedy)
homeopathy.

The Visit
OxySolution.com
24
First you will be asked to tell your story, and the homeopath will be listening closely to you.
Next there will be questions aiming to fully understand you as a person and how your health
problem has affected you.
Your homeopath is interested in your lifestyle, eating habits and preferences, temperament,
personality, sleep patterns, dreams, appetite, digestion, extent of sweating, menstrual cycle,
sex, and so on and your medical history. This helps the homeopath to form a complete
picture of you and how your health problem has affected you.
In addition to those more general questions, there may be quite a few detailed questions
such as what makes the symptoms better and worse?
Are you better in a warm room or in fresh air outdoors? Do you need absolute rest or do you
feel better when you move your body?
Are you restless because no position feels good? Which side is affected, right or left?
What happened just before you got ill?
What triggers the symptom? What do you have to do to make the symptom better or worse?
At what time of the day are you better or worse? For example in the afternoon, when waking
up, at midnight, and so on.
How is the weather and the seasons affecting you?
What is the pain like? Stabbing, stitches, burning, itching etc.
Do you prefer to be in company or are you rather by yourself?
Do you enjoy being comforted when unwell?
How did your mood change since getting unwell?
Detailed questions as above help to find a particular type and strength of a homeopathic
remedy.

The Medicine
At the end of the consultation your
homeopath will analyze your case and select
a medicine for you. He may do so while you
are still there, or do the analysis after you are
gone. This frequently is a lengthy process.
Once the analysis is completed, he will give
you a prescription and advise you how often
and in what way to take the medicine.
Homeopathy is usually taken in pillule form,
but is also available in liquid, tablet and
powder form.

What Is The Best Remedy For Hay Fever, Headache, Flu, Diarrhea, Depression,
Etc.?
There is no such homeopathic remedy. Homeopathic medicines are not chosen on a
diagnosis or label. They are chosen for a particular person with a particular condition. For
any of these conditions there could be hundreds of different remedies, just like there are
many different types of people with headache, hay fever, etc.
How Long Do I Have To Take A Homeopathic Remedy? Will I Have To Take It
For The Rest Of My Life?
No. It depends on your condition. In an acute condition, you will be on a homeopathic
remedy until you are well. In a chronic condition, it depends on the desired level of health. If
you take a homeopathic remedy for palliation in an incurable condition, you may have to
take it as long as the condition persists.
Are All Homeopaths Medical Doctors? How Do I Find A Good Homeopath?
No. There are homeopathic practitioners who are medical doctors and those who are not
licensed as a medically trained practitioner.
The best way to find a good homeopath is a referral by a happy patient. Another way is to
call the practitioners in your area and find out if they are classical and how much time they
allow for the first visit. They should allow a minimum of one hour and not work with
combination remedies.
Another way is to call a homeopathic study group in your area and ask them. You can find a
study group in your area in the referral list of the National Center for Homeopathy.
The homeopath should specialize in homeopathy as the primary therapy.
What Do All Those Letters Mean After A Homeopaths Name?
Those initials after a homeopaths name usually are titles awarded by different homeopathic
boards and schools. Homeopathic education and certification in the USA have not been
standardized. There are several groups certifying their members. Any certification only
testifies the particular homeopaths ability to satisfy the particular boards minimum
requirements of competence, and may not reflect the practitioners true level of mastery.

Chapter 9: Summary
Homeopathy is the worlds fastest growing medicine. It has been proven effective for 220
years all over the world. It is a unique sophisticated system of medicine of its own, and does
NOT mean home remedies or natural remedies such as herbs, vitamins, supplements or
kitchen remedies.
Homeopathy is based on the universal law like cures like, and uses a specific
pharmacological method. This is called potentization. It is a special process of serial dilution
and vigorous shaking of substances to a minuscule amount.
Potentized substances become curative remedies, even if they are made of toxic or inert
substances.
To investigate the curative effects of a substance, healthy volunteers perform trials and
carefully record the symptoms they experience. The symptoms that occur consistently are
recorded and listed as a remedy picture in the homeopathic reference, the Materia Medica.
The symptoms of the sick person are essential for finding the curative remedy. They must
not be suppressed.
For a remedy to be curative, the symptoms of the sick person must correspond to the
symptoms the remedy is causing in a healthy person. This is called the application of the law
of similar (like cures like).
When a remedy is administered to a sick person, it triggers a healing response within the
individual that activates his vital force. Once the vital force reacts, healing takes place from
within, directed by the vital force. We heal ourselves. This is unique to homeopathy.
Homeopathy is used in the treatment of humans, animals, and plants. It has been very
effective in curing and preventing epidemics, and can be used in all stages of life for any
disease condition.
The limits of homeopathy are conditions in which there is irreversible pathology.
