Overview: Homeopathy is Safe & Effective

Homeopathy is a method of healing that has been practiced worldwide for over 200 years. It has been successfully used for almost the entire range of physical, emotional and mental problems, both acute and chronic, that afflict people and animals of all conditions and ages. A few of the many conditions where it has been used include allergies, asthma, skin problems, coughs, colds, flu, poison oak, psychological problems, injuries, digestive problems, constipation, cramps, diarrhea, infections, earaches, headaches, arthritis, epilepsy, autism, all manner of chronic and acute pain, burns, etc. It is a system of medicine that can be applied to any health condition, not an ad hoc strategy that varies from condition to condition.  Of course individual results vary depending on the client's state of health and the homeopath's skill. Like even conventional approaches to health and healing, it is an art as well as a science. 

Homeopathy relies on the law of nature called the Law of Similars which means that what will cause symptoms in a healthy person will heal similar symptoms in a sick person. The extremely low doses and lack of toxicity make it very safe and without side effects.

It works by provoking a rebound healing response in an individual¹s immune system. Homeopathic remedies are made from a wide variety of substances, which makes it possible to match most people¹s condition with an appropriate remedy. For example a homeopathic extract of onions can heal the burning, watery nose and eyes found in some peoples¹ hay fever. A homeopathic remedy made from coffee might be used for insomnia where there is excitement and the memory is over-active. The right remedy will cover all the symptoms mental, physical and emotional at the same time!

Amy Lansky, a PhD biologist and now a homeopath, recounts how her son was cured of autism using homeopathy in The Impossible Cure. And it is inspiring to read Judyth Reichenberg-Ullman¹s book Ritalin-Free Kids where she gives more than 30 case histories of children cured of Hyperactivity (ADHD). Not only did their behavior and ability to concentrate improve, but their physical symptoms improved and they didn¹t develop any of the headaches, insomnia, appetite loss and other side-effects of ritalin and other psychotropic drugs. A study using homeopathy for depression and anxiety had significant positive results in about 50% of the participants in 30 weeks or less.

According to the Harvard Health Letter, "Americans spent more than $165 million on homeopathic [remedies] in 1994, and sales have climbed 25% a year since the late 1980s. In Europe it is regularly used by doctors in France, Germany, and Great Britain where it is covered by national health insurance. Indeed, the Queen of England has her own homeopathic physician."

 A 1991 analysis of 107 clinical studies of homeopathy in the British Medical Journal found 81 of them showed that homeopathic treatment was better than placebo. Of the 23 best conducted studies, 15 of them had positive results. Recently 89 clinical trials were evaluated by health professionals including Wayne Jonas, M.D., director of the Office of Alternative Medicine (OAM) at the National Institutes of Health. It was found that homeopathic remedies are about 2 1/2 times more effective than placebo; a very strong result.
