Homeopathy
works on “principle of similars”;
a substance which can produce symptoms in a healthy person can be
used in diluted amount to treat
similar symptoms in a sick person. Other than that, nobody really
knows how the homeopathy works, although there are lot of
speculations. I believe that homeopathy works in many different ways.
In
case of allergy for
example to ragweed,
basically the allergy can be cured, by taking the same plant in
homeopathic (higher) form, called Ambrosia, – it will cancel the
effect caused by the ragweed (lower form). This is basically
explained by homeopathic experiment itself; if you take first low
potency of homeopathic medicine, like 6 X and after that higher
potency 200 of the same medicine, the higher
potency tends to cancel the effects
of lower potency.
Some
homeopaths also
claim
that vibrational homeopathic element,
opposite to
an element in the body, neutralizes it. This might be
similar to antidoting effect.
According Materia Medica, which describes the nature of each
homeopathic medicine, there are antidoting, inimical and “follow well” medicines
for almost every medicine. Personally though, I feel most of them are
just assumptions or could be explained in more logical way.
In
case if one has lack of, for
example, calcium, one would think the potentized
homeopathic calcium (Calcarea Carb) would help the body to take up
calcium from food – and it might be so – but as it also removes
the excess calcium deposits from the joints, we might need another
explanation too.
Homeopathic
thyroidinum helps with both cases hyper- and
hypothyroidism. It appears to stimulate a normalising effect. We can compare it to yoga asanas, some asanas
like Shoulder stand helps with hyperthyroidism, but the same asana
also helps with hypothyroidism.
Common
explanation how homeopathy works seems to be that homeopathic
medicine creates vibration of the substance into body, so that the
body can build up immunity to it. Quite similarly the
conventional immunization method
uses small doses of a weakened pathogen to enhance
immunity and prevent what larger doses can cause.
Sick
body creates inflammation or discharge in order to throw out a
disease. The normal medicines tend to suppress the symptoms and even
push the disease deeper into the body. Homeopathic medicine first
rather aggravates the symptoms. It might be that it actually brings
the “disease” from chronic state to
acute state, which is more easy to cure.
Interestingly
Silicea has opposite functions. It is used in lower potency to
suppurate a stick out from flesh, or to help abscess to suppurate pus
out. Anyhow when the abscess is discharging, higher potency of
Silicea is used for absorbing the pus and promoting final healing of
the wound.
When
I was in Africa I used to have constantly flea
bites. A homeopath
doctor gave me Pulex for that and I never anymore had flea bites.
Pulex is potenticed medicine made out of flea. How did all the fleas
run away, or how they no longer dared to touch me?
In
India a homeopath doctor gave me Hepar Sulph for some inflammation. I
was given on that very same day, by my higher authority, duty to burn
all sorts of trash on fire in the courtyard. Only after reading
Materia Medica, I understood that description of Hepar Sulp 'type of
patient' includes impulse to set things on fire, or throw things on
fire.
Coincidence
one might think, but it was not the only coincidence experience.
While once taking Calc Carb I saw swarms of nasty rats. (It should actually work opposite way, when you are scared of seeing rats take Calc
Carb). I would put this phenomenom on the basket of karmic
reasons. Anyhow don't worry, you won't necessarily see those
things, it seems to depend on how deeply you are in that kind of
state that requires certain medicine.
What kind of effect the shaking on the preparation phase has on the homeopathic medicine? Nobody really knows, but nuclear scientist Keshe thinks that by using succussion any liquid can be made magnetic, which will interact with water in the human body. Hence the cells in the body get realigned to original healthy state. This is similar how iron is magnetized by succussion in order to realign the iron molecules. http://www.keshefoundation.org/latest-papers/pdf/1.html.
When researchers were shaking diluted water with a medicinal substance in it, an ice crystal which had electrical field, was created. Some people assume that homeopathic medicines are “energy medicines” that act on the chi, or “life energy” of the person.

Nano products carry more and more bodies of information in smaller
and smaller chips. Should we call hoemopathy as “nanopathy”?
We
really need more subtle methods of scientific exploration in
order to explain everything about homeopathy.

I
have studied homeopathy in England and India. I used to sit and
observe the doctors treating the patients in
a homeopathic clinic in Calcutta
about 5 months, almost every evening some hours. The founder of the
clinic treated about 80 -100 patients every day, while the other
doctor used to get much less cases. Interestingly there was also a
conventional doctor, who was having even less patients. Mostly he
treated those patients whom the homeopath
doctors sent to him.
Money
was not the main reason for the lack of patients, as both kind of
medicines were very cheap and on request patients could get their
medicines even free. In 2007 survey in India found that 62 % of
current homeopathy users have never tried conventional medicines and
82 % of them would not change to conventional.
I
observed with amazement how the homeopaths could treat almost
anything. Most of the patients were women, often pregnant or
having small children – with
fever, injuries, serious skin problems, smelly infections etc. Male
patients were very few, the reason probably was that they had to wait
often longer time as the doctors prefered to take children and their
mothers first.
The
founder of the clinic used to teach
me not only by lecturing, but also in a very practical way – he
put me to test the medicines. Once, when as I was questioning, how it
would affect if one would take too much homeopathic medicine, he
immediately gave me a bottle full of some medicine and ordered me to
take it all. I took it all nervously,
but nothing happened, except the usual slight feelings in the
body when the medicine starts to have some effect. The
amount of medicine is not important in homeopathy.
Homeopathic medicine begins its
function in the body already in seconds, although the deeper
action takes hours, days or even months.
Often
the homeopathic medicines are prescribed based on the
overall
symptoms of the body and the mind of the person.
In some cases though the homeopaths give quite the
same medicine to everyone in the same disease.
There is even tested evidence of
the method's efficiency
by famous Indian homeopath in The
Prasanta Banerji Homeopathic Research Foundation.
Banerji states; 'We give a basic set of medicines to treat each
cancer type and thereafter considering the accessory symptoms, have
first, second and third line medicines. Patients from 70 countries
follow the Banerji
Protocol.'
Similar
ways of treatment I also saw in
Calcutta clinic – many of their treatments were based on
principle; certain disease
needs particular medicines,
but besides they were also good in observing moods of
each person and giving medicines accordingly. They used to give
few, usually 2-3 medicines at same time. Only exceptionally
they gave just one medicine at a
time.
Human
being is not only physical or psychic being, but combination of both.
Homeopathy
treats both sides of the person,
thus being
wholistic
and
often even
permanent way of cure. When using lower potencies (less diluted)
those are treating the symptoms
closer to physical level,
but often the
disease has also counterpart on human psyche that
needs higher potencies in order to be cured.
Acute cases are exceptions, like
broken finger which lower potency can cure alone. Anyhow if the
person has tendency to get injured, then one might need to take
higher potency too. It seems like in order to burn ones karma higher
potencies are needed.
Homeopathic
medicines commonly are not dangerous. Nothing will happen
if the patient is given a homeopathic medicine that is not suitable
for his/her symptoms, but if the medicine is correct, people get
relief immediately or experience first aggravation of symptoms and
then improvement and not only of the disease, but in their overall
health.
Anyhow
I would still warn about certain medicines, such as
homeopathic Digitalis. If you take it several times for your hearth
problems, you may get severe aggravation. There are as well
some other cases to be concerned, and if
the patient is not responding to homeopathic treatment, changing to
another type of treatment should be arranged. Doctors should actually
run kind of healthcare cooperatives.
Indian
scientist and spiritual leader
Sarkar has
stated that the science of homeopathy is based on the psychic
existence of human beings... 'There
is no doubt that the medicine prepared in a sentient environment by
sentient people, will have a much greater effect in curing a
patient’. Also Sarkar admits that the confident
attitude of a doctor can
add to the effect of any medicine.
