Do you know the principals behind homeopathy?

Question

First person to correctly give me the generals wins :)

Answer 1

The use of the energy that is suplied by things in the world to help the body over come the things that are wrong with it, such a chi blockages. Homeopathic remedies do not cure the ailment... it brings the body to the point where it can heal itself

Answer 2

Basic principal is that if large amounts of a substance will cause symptoms of a disease, then small doses will hold the cure. One possibility is that body develops its own natural defenses when exposed to small amounts. Dr. Samuel Hahnemann (Germany) was the first to see this in the 18th century, when he took cinchona bark for malaria, and discovered that the bark produced the same symptoms. Since then, it has developed into a more precise practice.

Answer 3

What is Homeopathy
Homeopathic system of medicines is based on the theory that “Likes be treated with Likes. The patient is treated with extremely small quantities of drugs that are themselves capable of producing symptoms of his particular disease. The system was founded by Dr Samuel Hahnemann, who was born at Meissen in Germany in 1755, and died in paris in 1843.

The Law of Similar :-

The Law of similar is a natural law, rather like the laws of mechanics. The drug Cinchona Officinalis (Peruvian Bark), containing quinine will produce Malaria likes symptoms when repeatedly administered to healthy human Volunteers. Its use, therefore, in the treatment of patients with malaria, is in accordance with law of similar. The orthodox methods of vaccination, immunization, and allergen desensitization are similarly in accord with the homeopathic law.
How we might assess that a patient is being set on the curative path by the homeopathic remedy. In the first instance , He will tell so. The patient is a better judge in most cases. There should be both improvement in the presenting complaint, and an increase in general energy level. The patient might say, “Even though my joints still hurt, I feel a lot better in my self” . This indicates that treatment is having a beneficial effect. We may utilize Herrings Law. This states Cure occurs.

a. From above downwards.

b. From within outwards.

c. Appearance of symptoms in reverse chronological order.

This means:

a. “From above downwards.”
Cure progresses from the head towards the lower trunk, that is to say, head symptoms clear first with regard extremities, cure spread from shoulder to fingers, or hip to toes.

b. Cure starts from within outwards
Cure progresses from more important organs (e.g. liver, endocrine) to less important organs (e.g. joints). That is to say, the function of vital organ is restored before those less important to life. The end results of this externalization of disease is often the production of treatment coetaneous rash.

c. “Appearance of symptoms in reverse chronological order”.
More recent symptoms and pathology will clear before old symptoms and pathology.
The disease “back tracks”. so to speak. After the more recent problems have been cleared. it is not at all uncommon for the patient to experience the transient recurrence of old symptoms and pathology which then disappears within a few weeks. Herrings Law, which is also termed the Law of Cure, is the logical inverse of the way in which chronic disease progresses both with regard to the patient himself and the ancestral history of the disease.
The most important aspects of the Herring’ Law are, “From within outwards” and “in reverse chronological order”.

Answer 4

I met a homeopathic physician. I asked him what it was all about.
Basically, it is the theory that like cures like. For example, if you have liver trouble, eat liver tablets. If you have heart trouble, eat heart tablets, etc.
I used homeopathic treatment 12 years ago when I had a groin injury. I ate dessicated bull's testicles for a couple of years...in pill form.
I guess it worked...
