"In fact, the American Medical Association (AMA) was formed in 1846 in part to thwart the growth of homeopathy. Some people refer to any natural remedy as homeopathic, but this is a misnomer. Classical homeopathy treats a patient with one substance at a time (many commercial remedies combine more than one substance) in an extremely diluted and extremely safe solution. Remedies commonly come in the form of small pills you dissolve under your tongue or as a tincture." - Bottom Line Books, Uncommon Cures For Everyday Ailments (Get the book.)

"Homeopathy Versus Naturopathy You may be asking yourself what is the difference between homeopathy and naturopathy? I have used remedies and doctors from both worlds, and there is enough of a difference to make me believe that naturopathy is the way to go. 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." - Pat Sullivan, Wellness Piece by Piece: How a Successful Entrepreneur Discovered the Pieces to His Chronic Health Puzzle (Get the book.)

"Since then homeopathic practitioners have been successfully healing the sick with little alteration from Dr Hahnemann's original principles. homeopathy, a safe, scientific and logical method for the treatment of sickness, has stood the test of time. Homeopathy is believed to work because the remedies stimulate the immune system to fight the particular symptom pattern. It therefore helps the body heal itself. The remedies are given in very diluted forms, at such low concentrations that there is sometimes hardly a trace of the substance the remedy was originally made from." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"In the last decade, however, homeopathy has made a comeback, especially among naturopathic physicians. It continues to gain more recognition because of its non-invasive nature and because the dosages used are very dilute and non-stressful to the body, and quite simply, because it works! Dr. Herbert DeloRey is a researcher and practitioner in the field of energy medicine.5 What is interesting about his work is that he has taken computerized electronic analysis technology, like the "Interro" and the "Quantum Xrroid" systems, and married them to homeopathy." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"The Lancet study does not prove that homeopathy is never effective or that all its accomplishments are rooted in the placebo effect, but it does raise major questions about the plausibility of homeopathy as a mainstream treatment. My friend Kim Jobst is the editor of The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, as well as a homeopath himself, and I serve on his editorial advisory board." - Peter J.

"It is what we call the "law of similar," which is the basis of homeopathy. This theory states that even though the source is animal and not human, the body recognizes it as similar. Because of this, when animal-sourced enzymes are ingested, the body is able to recognize from which gland or organ the animal-sourced enzyme originated; thus the body is able to use this source to fortify glands and organs more effectively." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.)

"He suggests that homeopathy might be correct in its claim that water can be imprinted with information, that water has a memory.31 Homeopathic remedies are made from substances, such as minerals or plants, that are placed in a solution, usually mostly water, which is then succussed (vigorously shaken). The solution is then diluted further and the procedure repeated, often until not a single molecule of the original substance remains in the remedy. All that remains is information." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.) "Acupuncture and homeopathy are practiced widely in Asia and Europe (Britain, for example, has at least four exclusively homeopathic hospitals) and are slowly gaining acceptance in the United States and elsewhere. Today, there is growing interest in these unconventional techniques and theories because science is beginning to discover that although chemistry has been wildly successful at explaining many of the mechanisms of the body, it is not adequate by itself to the task of explaining the integrative workings of the body." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.)

"In modern times, homeopathy and Flower Essence therapy use the Doctrine of Signatures, believing that function follows form and that like cures like. An example is partridgeberry, a plant used in childbirth, whose signature is two flowers that make one berry. Another example is that of the seaweed bladder-wrack, used in hypothyroidism. The two bladders hanging down in a V shape look exactly like an enlarged thyroid gland. TOUCH Much of what you observe about a plant can be corroborated by touching it." - Pam Montgomery, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness (Get the book.)

"Working through the modality of homeopathy, he is able to assist the body to deal with issues on the physical, mental, and emotional levels. The goal is to help the brain stimulate its own acupuncture points without needles or probes. In this way, the brain can perform its own self-adjustment requirements, re-establishing the energy pathways of the spine through miniscule muscular manipulations within the body. The polarity of every cell and system within the body is re-established, thereby allowing the body to conduct its own healing." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"He had begun to think of it as a 'resonance absorber'. homeopathy rests upon the notion that like is treated with like. A plant extract that at full strength can cause hives in the body is used in an extremely dilute form to cure them. If a rogue frequency in the body could produce certain symptoms, it followed that the high dilution of a substance which would produce the same symptoms would still carry those oscillations. Like a tuning fork in resonance, a suitable homeopathic solution might attract and then absorb the wrong oscillations, allowing the body to return to normal." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"Constantine Hering, born in Germany in 1800, made many contributions to the study of homeopathy. He is still known today for his observations of the healing process, now known as, "Hering's Law of Cure." It states that during a healing and reversal process, the body heals from the inside out; from the head down; and, in the reverse order that diseases developed. The body follows a clear pattern in the process of healing itself. The most serious and most recent disease conditions are given first attention." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"I became interested in alternative medicine, and trained in various disciplines—naturopathy, chiropractic, acupuncture, Chinese medicine, homeopathy, herbal medicine, massage and German high-tech bio-energetic medicine. My health has improved so much that I completed a full marathon when I was forty-five, when previously I could not run 500 metres without wheezing, coughing or setting off a severe attack. 1 have had no need to take any prescribed drugs for many years.' This holistic view of health and asthma is central to this book: asthma has many causes, and many treatments may bring relief." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.) "However many, such as homeopathy, Bach flower remedies, vitamins and minerals, and massage, can be of great benefit. There are complementary remedies, in particular homeopathic and herbal remedies, prepared in appropriate doses for asthmatic babies. Where a particular treatment or technique in Part Two is unsuitable for children to try this is indicated at the beginning of the section describing it. PART TWO CONTROLLING ASTHMA IN ALTERNATIVE WAYS ALTERNATIVE APPROACHES Our society tends to rely on 'pressing a button' to satisfy all our wants." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.) "Homeopaths point to their success rate in treating disease (sometimes higher than for orthodox medical methods—for instance in the European cholera epidemic of 1854) as evidence that homeopathy works. The homeopathic physician seeks to correct a disorder by treating the patient through the symptoms, not the symptoms themselves. This requires the homeopath to study the individual patient carefully. As the key to taking the right remedy is assessing the individual, especially in chronic conditions, it is essential to consult a homeopathic physician." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"During the next year he married, moved to the country, and opened a practice that combined acupuncture, homeopathy, and herbalism. As his health declined, Peter sought the assistance of several alternative practitioners he knew, and they agreed his symptoms could be lumped into that most vague of diagnoses, CFS. Despite his own considerable healing knowledge and that of the circle of experts who 95 treated him, Peter's health continued to fail. He described the downturn of events as the CFS worsened: "Gradually it takes hold and despite trying all manner of treatments, your life falls apart." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.)

"Further criticism is leveled at the premises of homeopathy, which some say are inconsistent with the laws of chemistry. It is difficult to believe that a treatment would be made more powerful through a process of dilution, especially when no molecules of the original ingredients are present in the final treatment. In other words, those who seek homeopathic treatments are putting their faith in spiritlike therapeutic power that ostensibly defies our laws of science. My advice: Proceed with equal parts caution and open-mindedness if you elect to pursue homeopathic treatments." - 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.)

"Source: Homeopathic Revolution; Why Famous People and Cultural Heroes Choose homeopathy, by Dana Ullman MPH; www.homeopathicrevolution.com Homeopathic Potency; what does "X", "D" and "CH" mean? Homeopathic potency and frequency may vary. If you are a homeopathic novice, it is best to use the lower potencies, such as those ranging from a six CH to 30 CH. The CH refers to the Centesimal Hahnemann potency scale. This potency is diluted in the ratio of one part original substance to 99 parts carrier liquid." - Heather Caruso, Your Drug-Free Guide to Digestive Health (Get the book.) "Such symptoms as a person's emotional state and physical symptoms are considered important in homeopathy. This stimulates one's unique healing mechanism. Symptoms that are important are often those that are considered strange, rare and peculiar. A person who has a sore foot, cannot walk on it and is exceedingly irritable may receive a dose of Bryonia Alba. Another person who claims they are well but are lame with an injured foot may receive Arnica Montana. Our Vital Force Acts, Yet it is Intangible Physical and emotional symptoms may be an expression of ill health through our vital force." - Heather Caruso, Your Drug-Free Guide to Digestive Health (Get the book.) "I believe homeopathy works in the following manner: when we take a homeopathic substance that matches the totality of our symptoms or our vibration, it awakens our healing mechanism. Since we cannot accept two diseases of the same kind at the same time, our vital force is stimulated to rid itself of this foreign vibration that has been introduced. Along with the ridding of the foreign vibration comes healing, as the vital force's dormant healing powers have been awakened. The homeopathic medicine causes a medley of healing events." - Heather Caruso, Your Drug-Free Guide to Digestive Health (Get the book.)

"They want to integrate approaches like meditation, relaxation, acupuncture, homeopathy, energy work, psychotherapy, nutritional supports, and so forth—and they do so without telling their doctors for fear of criticism, rejection, or ridicule. I was impressed with how well Fran spoke her mind in a clear and efficient manner at our very first meeting in 1996. She wanted someone who could coach her along and give her insight into healing therapies that might be equally valuable for her, not just tell her what tests to have and which pills to swallow." - Stephen T.

"The shaking of the containers, as is done in homeopathy, appears to act as a method of speeding up this process.'?So vital is water to the transmission of energy and information that Benveniste's own studies actually demonstrate that molecular signals cannot be transmitted in the body unless you do so in the medium of water.1?" - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"Chiropractic Unlike homeopathy, chiropractic treatment has made its way more successfully into the mainstream and has succeeded in achieving some degree of tolerance by Western medicine. The manipulation of the spine and various forms of massage have been demonstrated with fair consistency in some well-designed studies to have benefit in some conditions. Perhaps understandably, these approaches are most effective when dealing with musculoskeletal problems. At the very least, chiropractic treatments and massage can contribute to cognitive health by reducing anxiety and lowering stress." - Peter J.
