"Constantine Hering was considered the "father of American homeopathy," and his Law of Cure states: We heal from the top down; We heal from the inside out; We heal in the reverse order in which we took on our health challenges. Therefore, we first see the accelerated healing effects of a Juice Feast in a person's face. Also, we can find in any cleansing program that things come to the surface of the skin, or our breath stinks, or our bowel movements are temporarily putrid. All of this is healing from the inside out." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"The idea is that homeopathy is very specific. It is important to remove the obstacles to the cure. Diet, stress and toxins must be addressed in order for the homeopathic remedies to work most effectively. When we look at health from this mind set, we can help the body to heal and rebalance. With this approach, it is less important to address a particular virus, bacteria or fungi because the immune system is strong and can heal most of these things, including ones yet to be identified." Dr. Alan Pressman believes that glutathione may be the key to chronic fatigue." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.) "Whether you talk about a neurotransmitter imbalance, or something physical like Candida, whether you talk about fibromyalgia or a strep throat, from a homeopathic point of view, these are not the causes, these are the results. homeopathy seeks to go to the root of that energetic imbalance in a person, to address the cause. When the cause is addressed, all of these other things will fall into place. "Sugar consumption is part of the problem. Many parents say that the day after Halloween, for example, their children are bouncing off the walls, that they notice a definite difference." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.) "He has certificates in homeopathy, naturopathy, herbal medicine, Bach flower remedies, and sports performance, and training. His special interests include fatigue syndrome, endocrine disturbances, holistic healing, ADD, sleep-mood disorders, and respiratory diseases. 60 Dutch Hill Road Orangeburg NY 10962 Tel: (845) 359-3300 PETER R.

"Homeopathy. homeopathy is a discipline whose principles were developed over 200 years ago by Samuel Hahnemann, a German physician. It's based simply on the idea that "like cures like." If a certain herbal substance causes a symptom in a healthy person, then a homeopathic solution that contains a diluted amount of the same herbal substance may help cure those same symptoms that are actively present in an unhealthy person. I honestly don't know if homeopathy has helped me or not. I have been to a number of homeopathic doctors who gave me many different homeopathic remedies." - Pat Sullivan, Wellness Piece by Piece: How a Successful Entrepreneur Discovered the Pieces to His Chronic Health Puzzle (Get the book.)

"To the popular press, which pounced on the published paper, Benveniste had discovered 'the memory of water', and his studies were widely regarded as making a valid case for homeopathy. Benveniste himself realized that his results had repercussions far beyond any theory of alternative medicine. If water were able to imprint and store information from molecules, this would have an impact on our understanding of molecules and how they,'talk' to one another in our bodies, as molecules in human cells, of course, are surrounded by water." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"Both homeopathy and mesmerism presented themselves initially as radical innovations within established medicine. Only as they were squeezed out by orthodox hostility did these systems reposition themselves as 'alternatives'—as challengers to the medical system they had intended to reform. The two systems shared not only a belief in imponderable forces or energies that could be turned to the task of curing; they also shared certain aspects of practice." - Roberta Bivins, Alternative Medicine?: A History (Get the book.)

"The effect of the highly dilute IgE began increasing at this point and continued to increase, the more it was diluted.3 As homeopathy had always claimed, the weaker the solution, the more powerful its effect. Benveniste joined forces with five different laboratories in four countries, France, Israel, Italy and Canada, all of whom were able to replicate his results." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"But part of the appeal of homeopathy is that its remedies are patient-centered and tailored to the individual. A homeopath will assess not just the physical cause of the illness but also the emotional state of the patient and her personality and temperament, before deciding what remedy or combination of compounds to use. As many of us in the healing profession know, basic empathy is a very powerful instrument of healing. The highest ideal of cure is the speedy, gentle, and enduring restoration of health by the most trustworthy and least harmful way. ?" - Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George, The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (Get the book.)

"In homeopathy, the more a remedy is diluted, the greater its potency. This allows homeopathic physicians to administer extremely powerful but minute therapeutic doses with no unpleasant side effects and no danger of toxic reactions. The reverse is often true in conventional medicine. The individual and not the illness is the focal point in homeopathic medicine. homeopathy considers the state of the whole individual—physical, mental, and emotional— whereas conventional physicians are often concerned only with the physical aspects of illness." - Phyllis A. Balch, CNC, Prescription for Nutritional Healing, 4th Edition: A Practical A-to-Z Reference to Drug-Free Remedies Using Vitamins, Minerals, Herbs & Food Supplements (Get the book.)

"The integration, finally, of homeopathy into orthodox medicine, under the auspices of the NHS was not without controversy, pain, or its own particular ironies." - Roberta Bivins, Alternative Medicine?: A History (Get the book.)

"Diagnosis, in homeopathy especially, is based almost entirely upon empirical observation of even the smallest parts of the patient's uniqueness, daily routine, thoughts, body posture or facial expressions. homeopathy is a patient-centred medicine. Diagnosis in early forms of osteopathy and bone-setting would be drawn from the most intricate observations by the healer of the patient's posture. Inevitably, these therapies also pay some respect to the use, diagnostically, of the relationship between the healer and the subject." - Martin J. Walker, HRT Licensed to Kill and Maim: The Unheard Voices of Women Damaged by Hormone Replacement Therapy (Get the book.)

"Women with recurrent genital herpes infec-rions may need to seek more aggressive or individualized care from an alternative practitioner than rhe therapies discussed in this chapter. homeopathy, additional herbal/nutritional combination products, or Chinese herbal medicine may be more effective in an individual case. Some women may choose to use conventional pharmaceutical antiviral therapy, although this is not usually medically necessary. There are cases of primary or nonprimary genital herpes, however, when antiviral therapy is indicated for immunocompromised individuals." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.) "Many alternative practitioners have experience with natural therapies not included in this book such as acupuncture, homeopathy, and hands-on techniques that may offer effective help for many women with menstrual cramps. I often encourage women to try an herbal or nutritional product for a couple of hours during acute pain. If no relief is accomplished within that amount of time, then switch to a pharmaceutical method of pain control." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.) "Naturopathic therapies include dietary and lifestyle changes, clinical nutrition (nutritional supplementation), botanical medicine (herbs), homeopathy, Chinese medicine and acupuncture, hydrotherapy, manipulation, physical therapies, psychotherapy, and minor surgery. We also recognize the judicious use of prescription medications when the benefits exceed the risks, integrated into a comprehensive naturopathic health-care plan. Some naturopathic physicians receive extra training and licensure to practice obstetrics and natural childbirth." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.) "It taught a system of medicine that included nutritional therapy, natural dietetics, herbal medicine, homeopathy, manipulation, exercise therapy, hydrotherapy, electrotherapy, and stress reduction techniques. Naturopathic medicine grew and flourished from the early 1900s until the mid-1950s. At that point in history, the conventional medical profession began to influence the health-care system in several ways. It abandoned some of its barbaric bloodletting therapies and toxic mercury dosing and replaced them with more effective and less toxic treatments." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.)

"Already the most prescribed medication in Germany, where herbalism and homeopathy are far more common than in the US, Saint-John's-wort (hypericum) is widely known to strengthen the nervous system. Standard doses in prepackaged forms (available in most herbal and health food stores) work in many cases, but they may take three weeks or more to go into effect. Caution: Do not take in cases of severe depression. Instead, see a psychiatrist, psychologist or other mental health professional. And do not take Saint-John's-wort with conventional antidepressant drugs because they may interact." - Bottom Line Books, Uncommon Cures For Everyday Ailments (Get the book.)

"Schachter's Alternative Therapy Program for prostate cancer includes the use of Flor-Essence, in addition to dietary changes, oral nutritional supplements, possible hormonal balancing, possible intravenous vitamin and mineral drips, an exercise program, fresh air and some sunlight exposure, stress management training if necessary, detoxification, and possible homeopathy and other immune-enhancing activities, such as chiropractic, massage, acupuncture, or dental treatment.

"VOMITING • Homeopathic Cure for Vomiting or Food Poisoning Nux vomica: It's an aptly named homeopathic remedy for nausea and vomiting. homeopathy is based on the principle that a minute amount of what causes an illness may, in fact, treat it. Nux vomica is made from a plant called poison nut, which is toxic in large doses. In infinitesi- mal or homeopathic doses, however, it is safe. Take this remedy for food poisoning or vomiting. Take one 6X tablet one to three times a day. NECK PAIN • (Almost) Instant Shower Relief ." - Bottom Line Books, Uncommon Cures For Everyday Ailments (Get the book.)

"The principles of homeopathy are consistent with this water-imprinting work. A homeopathic remedy is made by diluting a medicine in an aqueous solution to such a degree that the original compound is virtually undetectable. This extreme dilution still carries the signature of the concentrated compound in the water. For centuries people throughout the world have used homeopathy. It is becoming increasingly popular as an alternative holistic therapy, because some people experience great success with it. Use of Supplements You should not use supplements while on the Master Cleanse." - Tom Woloshyn, The Complete Master Cleanse: A Step-by-Step Guide to Maximizing the Benefits of The Lemonade Diet (Get the book.)

"Samuel Hahnemann, founder of homeopathy. In other words, when the life force, Chi, is depleted, not even the best of medicines can restore a sick man's health or bring a dead man back to life. The life force is the only power in the body that is capable of healing it from an illness. Ener-Chi Art is a unique method of healing art based on energized oil paintings that I created to help restore a balanced flow of Chi or vital energy through the organs and systems in the body. With any cancer, Chi-flow is severely disrupted throughout the body." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"Homeopathy According to scientific research, homeopathy can play a significant role in recovery from alcoholism. Studies reveal that patients given homeopathic medicines in chemical dependency programs retain significantly higher levels of abstinence for far longer periods of time after release than patients availing themselves of counseling, allopathic medication, and AA meetings without homeopathy. In fact, years later, most in the homeopathically treated group have not returned to drinking. Part of the reason for homeopathys success may lie in its ability to address individual needs." - Gary Null, Ph.D., The Complete Encyclopedia of Natural Healing: A Comprehensive A-Z Listing of Common and Chronic Illnesses and Their Proven Natural Treatments (Get the book.)

"Some examples would include the belief of some chiropractors that spinal manipulation can treat diseases such as asthma, or the idea of homeopathy that diluting a toxin a million-fold makes it able to relieve symptoms that are similar to those produced by the toxin. Some people believe there is an herb to treat every complaint. Your grandmother may have believed, as mine did, that chicken soup was the perfect cure for a fever. The way my grandmother's soup tasted, it sure couldn't hurt one way or the other, and it certainly was soothing and comforting." - Benjamin H. Natelson, M.D., Your Symptoms Are Real: What to Do When Your Doctor Says Nothing Is Wrong (Get the book.) "In my experience, it is not uncommon to learn that the patient turned toward some form of alternative medicine—chiropractic, naturopathy, homeopathy, or the like—to find someone who would listen and try to help. I will share my thoughts concerning some of these alternatives with you in chapter 10. Your original doctor not only hasn't done his job, he's risked letting things get worse by leaving you to fend for yourself. That physician either has no appreciation for how medicine progresses or for what a doctor's responsibility really is." - Benjamin H. Natelson, M.D., Your Symptoms Are Real: What to Do When Your Doctor Says Nothing Is Wrong (Get the book.)

"Homeopathy proved no match for sore muscles (Vickers et al. 1997). Acupuncture seems to be the modality du jour. The sham acupuncture versus placebo pill study that introduced this chapter helps us come to grips with this literature, which seems to be exhibiting unbridled growth. There are numerous randomized controlled trials. For persistent low back pain, the benefit is minimal if it is real (Ratcliffe et al. 2006; Thomas et al. 2006). Acupuncture proved no match for neck pain in two reasonably designed studies (Irnich et al. 2001; White et al." - Nortin M. Hadler MD, Worried Sick: A Prescription for Health in an Overtreated America (Get the book.) "He named his system of therapeusis "homeopathy" and termed the standard practice of the mainstream physicians "allopathy." Allopathic physicians, he argued, administered drugs that counter the symptoms of illness (then conceptualized as the disease) ?for instance, an antipyretic for fever. He advocated administering tiny doses of a drug that could cause fever in high doses. Sometimes people still label me and my guild "allopathic physicians," but I find that unacceptable since so much that we offer is no longer symptomatic treatment (antibiotics, for example)." - Nortin M. Hadler MD, Worried Sick: A Prescription for Health in an Overtreated America (Get the book.) "Indeed, homeopathy remained so successful that it challenged the dominance of the traditional medical guild in the American market. President William McKinley was a supporter who, in 1900, dedicated the statue to Hahnemann that still dominates Scott Circle in Washington, D.C. Shortly thereafter, organized medicine capitulated and assimilated the homeopaths and their educational institutions (Hahnemann Medical School in Philadelphia is now part of Drexel University; Flower-Fifth Avenue School in New York City is now the New York Medical College in Valhalla)." - Nortin M. Hadler MD, Worried Sick: A Prescription for Health in an Overtreated America (Get the book.)

"Naturopathic healing combines elements of herbal medicine, acupuncture, nutrition, bodywork, homeopathy and exercise. Like many alternative modalities, naturopathy treats by supporting and enhancing the patient's inherent ability to heal and maintain good health. All illness has a cause which can be physical, emotional, mental or spiritual, or a combination of some or all of these. Symptoms indicate the body's attempt to fight the disease?they are not the disease itself and should not be repressed. The naturopath seeks to treat root causes, not symptoms." - Bottom Line Books, Uncommon Cures For Everyday Ailments (Get the book.)

"The most commonly treatments were herbal medicines,7 massage, megavitamins, self-help groups, folk remedies, energy healing, and homeopathy. Alternative medicine was most often used to treat chronic conditions such as back problems, anxiety, and headaches. The authors suggest that some of the above are "more alternative," some "less." In this latter category are biofeedback, hypnosis, guided imagery, relaxation techniques, "lifestyle diet," and vitamin therapy, which, together accounted for less than 10% of total visits to alternative medical practitioners." - Gerald E. Markle and Frances B. McCrea, What If Medicine Disappeared? (Get the book.)

"From the beginning, articles in Hippokrates had made clear that psychosomatic medicine would work alongside homeopathy and herbalism in the larger effort to create a more natural and earthbound approach to healing. The introduction of a new monthly column by a figure as distinguished as Weizsacker, however, significantly raised the potential importance of the enterprise for New German Medicine as a whole. We do not know what Weizsacker thought of the New German Medicine project, or what pressure, if any, he came under by the Nazi authorities to contribute that column." - Anne Harrington, The Cure Within: A History of Mind-Body Medicine (Get the book.)
