PROLOGUE |
Allopathy cures disease-syndromes.
Homeopathy cures Whole disease-bearing patients.
They often complement each other nicely when it comes to decide how
to treat someone who is ill.
Homeopathy is based on the principle of like cures like.
It mainly uses natural products.
How it works is still a mystery.
In order to be Homeopathically active, a natural product must be diluted, triturated and/or shaken. The more diluted, triturated and shaken, the more active that Homeopathic remedy becomes. Evidence is starting to emerge that changes in physical characteristics may be related to Homeopathic activity.
Many remedies are prepared starting from natural products that, in
their original state, have no usefulness whatsoever, or else may be
poisonous. How these substances develop a curative capacity, once
sufficiently diluted and triturated or shaken, is an enigma.
Yet, Homeopathy works, and its existence, mode of action and
therapeutic capacity have become a thorn on the side of Allopathy
ever since its inception.
Homeopathy has been pilloried and called Voodoo Medicine and all
kinds of other uncomplimentary names some very imaginative by the
Allopathic establishment. It has been roundly despised and laid to
rest a number of times. Its practitioners have been called quacks or
worse.
Its patients have been labeled as gullible fools, despite of the
fact that people like Mark Twain, Disraeli, the Mahatma Ghandi,
Goethe, Manet, Dickens, Marie Curie, Rockefeller, generations of the
British royal family and a host of others have chosen Homeopathy as
their preferred form of treatment.
