Homeopathy
is such a great healing method, which
can benefit all kind of creatures and even save lives, but it is
misunderstood, opposed and ridiculed by many skeptics
and healthcare
providers. Somewhat I understand it, because in order to see how
homeopathy works in the body and subtle mind, one needs to be
sensitive enough, open minded for a new mysterious science and have curiosity to
experiment. Besides some of the homeopaths are themselves a bit ignorant
and dogmatic, as the science of homeopathy is not yet enough well known or developed.
Once in nineties in Helsinki, I was collecting funds for homeopathic clinics in India. I arrived to open city square and saw lots of people talking there. I started my can collection, but almost immediately I realized that people were very negative and not giving me any donations, although usually it had not been that difficult. For my great surprise I came to know that most of the people, if not all, were doctors. They had finished some program there and after that were still standing and talking. I took it as a challenge and continued my collection and even started to feel fun while having to hear so many incredible remarks and negative claims about homeopathy. Though I still remember with great gratitude one doctor who became really interested and gave me huge donation, as if on behalf of the whole physician crowd.

In
Finland the conventional doctors has found out that food
allergies are best cured by giving minimal quantities of the food
that the person is allergic for, and gradually increasing the amount
of the food item. This is a bit similar way to cure allergies than in
homeopathy, but homeopathic medicines are also still shaken up to
increase their effect.
Otherwise
in Finland homeopathy is even still quite unknown comparing to
India were people tend to go rather to homeopath than to conventional
doctor. For 100 million people there, homeopathy is the only form of
treatment. In some European countries homeopathic medicines are used
quite commonly. Western homeopaths treat only few patients in a day,
while in India the best homeopaths have always long queues of people
and thus they have more practical experience.
I
feel, although homeopaths are well educated in the West, they tend to
be more conservative and dogmatic in their beliefs - i.e having
commonly the policy of “only one remedy at a time” - and
thus being also more inefficient. Giving only one medicine sometimes
just aggravates symptoms and then there is need anyhow to give second
and even third medicine when the first doesn't work enough. This
takes just more time and causes unnecessary suffering. In some cases
though one medicine is enough.
Logically
thinking if we take Pulsatilla plant, which is made up of many
constituents; sugar, gum, resin, acids, sulphate of potassium,
chlorate of potassium, carbonate of lime, magnesium, and iron - as
well the homeopathic Pulsatilla has those constituents and thus the
patient will get many incredients at once. Homeopathic Hepar Sulph, is
made out of oyster shell, which contain mainly suphur and calcium.
There is no problem of taking homeopathic Sulphur or Calcarea Carb
simultaneously.
I
have been experimenting myself with treating my heart
problems, which easily tend to get aggravated by any homeopathic
medicine - and noticed that until I started to take 3-5 medicines at
once, only then I got immediate relief. Before I used to experiment
with “one medicine at a time” -method in order to find the right
one for my heart, but I never found it. Each they just caused
aggravations and partial or not even partial relief.
When
I lived and studied homeopathy in London, I requested three
homeopaths to give me so called constitutional remedy, which the
classical homeopaths use even for curing acute problems, but they all
gave me very different medicine. One gave Baryta Carbonica, the other
Ignatia and third one Pulsatilla.
The
other dogma is to recommend treatment for prolonged time. I faced it
earlier when I didn’t know yet anything about homeopathy. I was
given Sepia for half year and became almost like Sepia described in
Materia Medica. That is actually how the remedies are proved.
Most of the new remedies have been given first to healthy provers to
be tested. They must keep taking the medicine until they develop
symptoms, which are then published in
Materia Medica.
Anyone may observe own given medicine by
writing up all changes in bodily sensations and mental feelings and
comparing to symptoms described in Materia Medica.
Besides
observations by patients, there are more scientific studies, such as
study at Bristol Homoeopathic Hospital, which
shows that over 70% of patients with chronic diseases reported
positive health changes after homeopathic treatment.

Many
people believe that Homeopathy has only
placebo
effect. I am myself treating my dogs
with homeopathic medicines, so it can’t be just placebo effect. One
dog has had twice salivary gland inflammation on her jaw, which both
times was cured with homeopathic medicines. The other dog has
tendency to get eye inflammations, which also homeopathy takes care.
At
least six million
people use complementary treatments each year in the United Kingdom.
Homeopathy is getting more popular, thus the
“Big Pharma” with the supportive
media outlets is
busy with discrediting
homeopathy and other alternative treatments. However the huge number
of insurance claims against conventional medicine practitioners -
while there are not many claims filed against homepaths -proves also
that “Big Pharma” itself should be discouraged.
During
Helsinki University Science Days some years back, one professor
answered my question about the future of homeopathy. He said that the
“Big Pharma” is taking steps and making research on homeopathy in
order to bring some of the medicines on the market. I got a bit
scared what would the outcome be, if they would patent them and start
selling for maximum profit?
Treatment
by similars is not new. It is as old as
civilization’s records are available from the time of Sushruta, 19
th to 18 th century B.C, who proclaimed ‘Samah samam shamayati’,
similar cures similar. Aristotle and Von
Hohenheim Paracelsus also mentioned it. Basil Valentine, a
Benedictine monk, (1410
B.C) wrote:
‘Likes must be cured by means of their likes, as heat by heat’.
Later
physicians like Boulduc, Detharding, Bertholon, Thoury, Von Stoerk
and
Stahl
have also confirmed the homoeopathic method of cure.
Hahnemann was the first to establish system of treatment based on the
law “similia similibus curentur”. Source:

Furthermore
source;
Ancient
Tamil Siddhas (spiritually elevated souls) lived long lives by using
Ayervedic and homeopathic herbs and metals. Dr. Sun Mukh in his book
entitled Kaya
Kalpa: the Science of Rejuvenation,
seem to imply that bhasmas are homeopathic;
http://www.jyotish.ws/wisdom/kaya_kalpa_immortality.html.
And
Hippocrates stated; ‘the disease condition is removed through
remedies which produce similar symptoms to the disease. Tadarthikari
or vipareetharthakari chikitsa is treatment by similars. Chinese
medicine is the first system of medicine that bears many direct
co-relations with the concepts used in Homoeopathy.
http://www.similima.com/homoeopathy-before-after-hahnemann.
Indian
scientist and spiritual leader P.R Sarkar states that
homeopathic principle “Samah samam shamayati” (like cures like)
has been known in India already for thousands of years, besides of
Ayervedic and other natural treatments.
According
Sarkar homoeopathy incorporated the viśa cikitsá (poison
treatment) about 3500 years ago. For instance, when Bhiima was
poisoned by the Kaoravas - the experts gave injections of the same
poison to Bhiima, by which he was cured. This proves that people had
the knowledge of the principle “Samah samam shamayati” -
homoeopathy in an elementary form. “The original inventor of viśa
cikitsá is Lord Krśńa. Homoeopathy was not started by Mahatma
Hahnemann”.
Sarkar
also explains how homeopathy, ayerveda
as well as surgical operations
in India had their
downfall: some time after Buddha, there was internal religious
restrictions and simultaneously an invasion from outside India, due
to which the unani (hakimii) system of medicine was
rooted in India.
(Sarkar, 1959-1979).
Modi
government
contends that Indian systems of medicine were suppressed during
colonial times. India has only now begun giving significant impetus
to traditional medicine. China integrated traditional Chinese
medicine into health-care system immediately after the Communist
Revolution of 1949.
