Classical Homeopathy vs other homeopathic practices:
Classical Homeopathy differs from other homeopathic practices in that Classical Homeopathy prescribes one
single remedy at a time. It is important to remember that though homeopathic remedies are considered safe, they
are energetic and interact with the body at an energetic level.
There are homeopathic products sold in the pharmacies and health food stores that are marketed to treat specific
conditions like asthma, ADHD, PMS, and headaches. These products use combinations of homeopathic
remedies that individually have been proven to cure the specified condition. Though these treatments may be
effective for some, very often combining remedies changes the nature of the individual remedies and the affect of
this energetic interaction can be clouded. By administering one single remedy at a time, the homeopath
practitioner can clearly evaluate the progress of the patient and his/her reaction to each remedy.
Classical Homeopathy vs conventional practices:
It should be clear by now that homeopath practitioners are not medical doctors, though a homeopath can be a
licensed medical doctor. Both professions have important but different roles in the art and sciences of health and
healing.
Conventional medicine offers the best service for identifying and diagnosing disease (symptoms), caring for life
threatening conditions and treating trauma and emergency situations. Conventional medications have been
equally tremendous in raising the life expectancy of the average person and managing chronic diseases like high
blood pressure and diabetes. However, these conventional medications do not come without their side effects
which are disclosed in every prescription medicine. Often enough, these side effects complicate a person’s natural
disease state causing them to develop second and third layers of chronic diseases which are medically induced.
In the United States, homeopathic practices have not been developed enough to offer the diagnostic or emergency
services so necessary for saving lives. However, homeopathy presents the opportunity for people to be
constitutionally healthy, thus minimizing the risk of developing chronic diseases. It also presents the opportunity
to treat existing chronic conditions with remedies that avoid debilitating side effects. Homeopathic treatments
strengthen the body’s natural defense mechanisms so that the healing process is shortened and suffering is
minimized, even more so when used in conjunction with conventional medicine.
There are times when both conventional and homeopathic treatments offer maximum care for a patient. Several
months ago, a patient of mine was diagnosed with malignant melanoma of the tongue. The growth was about a
centimeter and confined to the back of the mouth. Immediately, we implemented a daily regimen of
homeopathic remedies that were proven to treat a variety of cancer conditions including malignant melanoma.
After a couple of weeks, chemotherapy and radiation treatments began. Within 2 months, the growth gradually
disappeared leaving behind a scar. The patient's vitality and spirit remained positive throughout the process and
he didn't experience the usual side affects of that often accompany radiation and chemotherapy. Though his
medical doctors continue to monitor his condition which is very positive as of this writing, we can already see the
benefits of homeopathic care when combined with conventional procedures.
Until the day comes when conventional facilities and homeopathic practices are united, we need to understand
and respect that each method offers benefits that the other can not match.
"In the healthy condition of man, the spiritual vital force, the dynamis that animates the material body, rules with unbound
sway, and returns all the parts of the organism in admirable, harmonious, vital operation, as regards both sensations and
functions, so that our in dwelling, reason, gifted mind can freely employ this living instrument for the higher purpose of our
existence."
As we become healthy - that is as our material body is restored to normal body functions and sensations, we are
able to use our mind and body to accomplish the more important things in life. Ultimately, we want to improve
the quality of our life, not just lengthen the days of our lives.
