Homeopathy - What is it?

n

Homeopathy is a system of medicine whose fundamental principle is the law of similars—that like is cured by like. It was first given practical application by Samuel Hahnemann of Leipzig, Germany, in the early 19th century and was designated homeopathy to distinguish it from the established school of medicine which he called allopathy. The American Institute of Homeopathy was founded in 1844, and the practice of homeopathy was popularized in the United States by the physician and senator Royal S. Copeland (1868-1938).

n

Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, 10th Ed., 1993: Homeopathy is "a system of medical practice that treats a disease especially by the administration of minute doses of a remedy that would in healthy persons produce symptoms similar to those of the disease".

n

Miranda Castro R.S. Hom., author of The Complete Homeopathic Handbook, 1990: "The Similum or Law of Similars: This basic law of homeopathy is similia similibus currentur: 'let likes be cured with like'. Based on this premise, the first homeopathic principle states that any substance that can make you ill can also cure you - anything that is capable of producing symptoms of disease in a healthy person can cure those symptoms in a sick person. By 'symptom' the homeopath means those changes that are felt by the patient (subjective) or observed (objective), which may be associated with a particular disease, or state of dis-ease, and which are the outward expression of that state".

n

Stephen Cummings, M.D. and Dana Ullman, M.P.H., authors of Everybody's Guide to Homeopathic Medicines, 1991: "Homeopathy is a 200-year-old medical system you can use at home to help treat family members with a wide spectrum of acute health problems. It offers a way to gently stimulate your inner healing resources through recognizing and reinforcing the adaptive reaction's of the body's natural defenses. By choosing the correct, individually suited homeopathic medicine from the plant, mineral, animal, or chemical kingdom, you can successfully stimulate the body's own defenses...you can complement your family's efforts toward good health with these safe, natural medicines that provide an effective, inexpensive alte ative to conventional medicine"

German Sanum/PleoSanum - My clinical experience

n

For more than 15 years I have used Sanum/Pleomorphic homeopathic/isopathic remedies from Germany have been part of my clinical practice. I love these remedies.

n
    n
  • They often do wonders.
  • n
  • Do I claim I fully understand how they work? No.
  • n
  • I subscribe to the oath: First, Do No Harm.
  • n
  • During all these years, I have not seen one single adverse reaction.
  • n
  • This cannot be said about our many very toxic pharmaceutical medications.

Here is just one person's report:

n

Dear Dr. Zeischegg,

n

I have had gum problems for the last 20 years. I happened to come across two articles by Dr. Thomas Rau/Paracelsus Klinik in Switzerland and ordered the products recommended. After two weeks of the remedies (Pleo Art A drops and Pleo Leptu capsules), you kindly forwarded to me, the pockets around my teeth have vanished. I am finding it amazing that the dental medical profession is ignorant about candida infections that many of their patients have. I have also been taking Co Q100 supplements together with fish oil capsules to boost my energy.

n

I am very grateful for your support and will send people your way to get the professional recommendations they need to stay healthy."

n

Sincerely,

n

Marlene C., Emerald Hills, CA

Please review the list of Sanum/PleoSanum remedies I use frequently in my practice - with their German and American names.

What is a homeopathic Nosode?

n

The Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia Convention of the United States defines a nosode as "homeopathic attenuations of: pathological organs or tissues; causative agents such as bacteria, fungi, ova, parasites, virus particles, and yeast; disease products; excretions or secretions. Nosodes are prepared according to homeopathic specifications, provided the basic substance is not altered and the final product is not adulterated by pathogens or other deleterious substances. The first attenuation must be rendered sterile".

n

Homeopathic nosodes are thought to stimulate the body to recognize a disease-causing entity, provide a level of protection, and assist in the elimination of the pathogens naturally. Nosodes may provide a template to the immune system and the cell walls, thus making an indirect attack on diseases by stimulating the immune system and white blood cell production.

My ALL TIME clinical Nosode Favorites

n

n
n

Professional Complementary Health Formulas offers the following two homeopathic nosodes. I want you to be aware of those:

n

1. West Nile Mosquito Nosode Drops

n

West Nile Mosquito Nosode Drops may provide homeopathic aid in support of improving resistance to and recovery from of West Nile virus.

n

I take 1/2 dropper full daily during the mosquito season.

n

For l.egal and political reasons I cannot and will not comment on their clinical relevance. You may be aware that I do not subscribe to the toxic and often very harmful model of allopathic Western Medicine. Having been born and raised in Germany - I may be somewhat biased towards the findings of my countryman Samuel Hahnemann.

n

Please do your own research and make up your own mind.
