Birth of Homeopathy Homeopathy was originated by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann a German Physician and Biochemist towards the end of the 18" century. Dr. Hahnemann after his graduation in 1782 he practiced traditional medicine for 9 years. He was quite disenchanted by the then treatment methods of heavy drugging, purging, blood letting etc. which didn’t have much scientific and clinical bases. He quit practicing and went on the mission of finding gentler treatments & scientific basis of the healing power of many medicinal substances. Besides being an MD, he was a brilliant bio-chemist and linguist who spoke 22 languages. Translating books was his ‘work cum study’ at med. School. He still continued it and while translating a work by William Cullen a leading physicist of his time, he was startled by Cullen’s claim that the bitter property of Peruvian bark (Cinchona) which contained quinine was responsible for the healing of Malaria by the use of Cinchona He found that it is the ‘whole profile of cinchona’ is what is responsible for the amelioration of Malaria by Cinchona, because he experimentally disproved the first and proved that

Historical Overview * Homeopathy stood the test of time for more than 200 years. * From early 1800s on, it rapidly gained momentum in the field of medicine. * It started spreading all over the world including United states. * The end of the 19" century was the golden era of Homeopathy in U.S. + The 1st AMA was the American Institute of Homeopathy founded in 1884. * By the time there were 22 Homeopathic medical schools and several Hospitals * Many illustrious Drs. are from the U.S. Constantine Herring, James Kent et al. * Mary Alcott, Daniel Webster, Rockefeller and royal family in UK were patrons. ٠ 20-25% of MDs identified themselves as Homeopaths which

Resurgence of Homeopathy * In spite of all the above Homeopathy did not die out. It stood the test of time. * From mid 1980s there is a surge in the acceptance of homeopathy among the general public. ٠ Lately it is getting approved to practice legally in some of the states and lobbying is going on for approval in many more states. * Itis becoming increasingly popular in Europe where it is no longer considered ‘alternative medicine’, instead it is an integral part of mainstream medicine. * In France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland etc. almost 50% pf family physicians prescribe homeopathic medicines.

Homeopathy defined and words explained: * Dr. Hahnemann combined two Greek roots ‘homoios’ = similar and ‘pathos’ = what one feels or suffers to create the word Homeopathy. Hence the literal definition is ‘Similar suffering’ * Homeopathic medicines are natural substances which are ‘proven’ to have the ability to produce a totality of sufferings very similar to those the given patient is currently going through. Homeo. medicines are made from all the three (plant, animal, mineral) kingdoms * What is Homeopathic ‘proving’ and ‘repertorization’? * What is the theory of ‘signatures’? * What is ‘potentization’? ‘mother tincture’?, ‘Avagadro limit’?

This is what reduces the toxicity of the original crude substance. * Succussion and Trituration are the methods by which mechanical energy is delivered to the preparations in order to imprint the pharmacological message of the original (plant, animal, mineral) substance upon the molecule of the diluent. Succussion (violent shaking) is used for soluble drugs and trituration (prolonged grinding to the level of 1/10 s) for insoluble drugs (silica or aurum).

Scientific Basis of Homeopathy * According to Trevor Cook, DHM, PhD, principal of the British Institute of Homeopathy and the President of the UK Homeopathic Medical Association, the scientific basis for the therapeutic action of highly diluted homeopathic remedies appears to lie in the domain of quantum physics. ¢ Astudy by using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) revealed distinctive reading of sub-atomic activity in 23 different remedies used in the study. Placebos did not show this. * Other studies in Italy and Germany revealed electromagnetic signals in specific frequencies in different homeopathic remedies. * Conclusion can be that a homeopathic remedy mav convev an electromaanetic ‘messaade’ to the

Survey Findings ¢ All over the world more and more people use Homeopathy occasionally. ¢ Lately an increasing number of people have heard about or read about it. ¢ World Health Organization has called it ‘the Medicine of the 21% Century’. ¢In spite of the above, only very few select a Homeopath as their primary health consultant or use homeopathic medicines as the first line therapy of choice in every-day living.

Certain Myths and Facts: Myth 1. Homeopathy is an unproven science Fact: Homeopathy is based on experimental pharm- calogical and clinical data. Over 200 years homeopathic medicines have been studied for their efficacy in a variety of indications. In fact the term ‘Allopathy’ was coined by the founder of homeopathy, whom the allopaths regard as the founder of experimental pharmacology. Myth 2. Homeopathy has no medicinal value, they are just sugar pills which act merely as ‘placebos’ Fact: Although many homeopathic medicines are in the form of white sugar pills/alcoholic drops and from the appearance or taste can be misunderstood as having no medicinal value, in fact those pills/drops are just base materials or vehicles for the said medicines which are sugar/alcohol based.

Thus they are in no Myth 3: Homeopathy {Suse enna Sannot be used in acute cases of diarrhea, fever, cough, cold, ear infections, tonsillitis etc. Fact: Homeopathy is fast acting in acute cases and can be effectively used in treating infections, Cold & Flu, fever etc. Unfortunately, people go to a homeopath only when the acute: problems become chronic or the conventional approaches fail to be effective. Naturally these cases take longer time to treat. Also most people take recourse to homeopathy in cases of arthritis, allergic asthma, chronic skin conditions like psoriasis etc. which take longer time to treat with any other medicines. Myth 4: Homeopathy is a ‘magic remedy’ which can treat any disorder. Fact: Homeopathy like any other field of medicine, has its limitations. For example, it cannot treat cases where surgery is unavoidable, dental cases etc.

Myth 5: Homeopathy is only useful in chronic cases Fact: Very often it is - where everything else has failed! But the true reason for this perception is because people turn to homeopathy so late when everything else has failed! After years of allopathic treatment often an illness becomes chronic: The treatment can now naturally take longer time than usual. It may be also because Allopathy was initially used. Myth 6: Homeopath gives the same white pills in all types of illnesses. How can they be really effective? Fact: Depending on the illness, homeopaths medicate with different medicines. The sugar pills serve only as a vehicle for transfer of the medicine. The selected medicine, out of a range of more than 1200 different medicines, is targeted to the individual problems. Myth 7: Diabetic patients cannot use Homeopathic medicines. Fact: Yes, they can. The minute amount of sugar globuli taken daily does not matter. Sugar intake in daily diet is much higher than that.

Myth 8: One has to follow strict dietary restrictions while on Homeopathic Medicines Fact: Some patients are asked to abstain from coffee, tea, tobacco, alcohol etc. as these substances interfere with the action of certain homeopathic medicines. This is true only of very few medicines. Moreover, restricting alcohol and tobacco is also safe and healthy. Myth 9: Homeopaths give the same white pills for all types of illness. How can they be really effective? Fact: Depending on the illness, Homeopaths medicate with different medicines. The sugar pills are only the vehicles for the transfer of medicines. The selected medicine, out of a range of more than 1200 different dilutions, is targeted to the individual problems.

Myth 10: Homeopathic Doctors are quacks who have no formal training in the field of medicine. Fact: In most parts of the world qualified doctors practice Homeopathy. For example, in India there are over 160 medical colleges which offer degree and post-graduate studies in Homeopathy. Sometime back that was the story here in U.S. too. But now it is different, although most of the genuine and immensely effective Homeopaths here are still well trained. Myth 11: Homeopathy also has side effects as any Rx. Fact: False with homeo medicines potentized Ze a =

Principles of Homeopathy * ‘similia similibus curantur’ = ‘likes are cured by likes’ This means, the disease syndrome which is caused by the intake of a substance in large enough quantity can be cured by the very same substance when administered in the Homeopathically prepared from. ٠ The more a substance is diluted, the greater its potency This is done through an alchemical process called potentization. In this, a substance is systematically diluted (sometimes even to the point of leaving no original molecule in it) and then either by grinding it a certain number of times (trituration) or by shaking it vigorously in liquid solution (succussion). This decreases the material part of the drug and increases its effectiveness as a remedy. This is the reason why there is no side effect. * An illness is specific to an individual (wholistic

Difference between Allopathy & Homeopathy - Allopaths often prescribe the same medicine (at least generically) for all the persons who has the same diagnostic disease name. - Homeopaths almost always recommend entirely different medicines for persons with the same diagnosis. - This is because homeopathic prescription is based on the matching of the profile of a whole person with the total symptom picture of a remedy. Homeopathy focuses on the whole person than the differential diagnosis. 

صفحه 23:
Matching patient’s Profile with Remedy Picture is the basis for a Homeopathic Prescription For determining the patient profile data relating to many areas are crucial: - In the area of physical health & development - Psycho-social history, - Any particular physical or psychological symptom which stands out as a hallmark. - Responses relating to ‘modalities’. It means collecting the answers to the questions like whether the prominent symptoms get aggravated or ameliorated by heat/cold, covered/exposed, by rest/movement, by soft/hard touch on the body,while sitting/standing/lying down, in different seasons, during day/night etc.

Supplementary Versus Suppressive Homeopathic Rx. is supplementary to the immune system and: concurrent with the vital energy (Chi) and healing process. Conventional Rx. is said to be mostly suppressive A Classical Homeopath does not prescribe one Rx. For headache, another for upset stomach and a 3™ for depression etc. Although one may have numerous physical and psycholog. symptoms simultaneously, she/he has only one disease, namely the underlying susceptibility. If the right remedy (similimum) is given it effectively stimulates the person’s natural defense and vital energy (Chi) and helps to heal the current illness and raises the general level of health. Single remedy approach shows whether it works or not. Research has shown that hospital patients receive an average of nine medicines at the same time. The synergetic and side effects of many medicines at the same time to an already disordered physiology may be frightening.
