Homeopathic Health Explained

Before commencing treatment or before "Giving Homeopathy a Go" as is commonly done, it is important that you understand that when you commence Homeopathic treatment you are in fact embarking on a new trip - one that will take you back to health. Homeopathy is not a system, a "thing" that you try when you are desperate; when you have tried everything else.

Homeopathy is health giving, not by introducing a medicine in your body, but by stimulating your defense mechanism to react for itself. This is the great principle of life itself. To allow our system to do it all, with a little assistance perhaps, but without the intake of large doses of chemicals, drugs, herbs, vitamins, minerals, or whatever it may be.

Just think there are a lot of people around who never take a vitamin or a mineral and are healthy. Others, in spite of dosing themselves are better perhaps, but not really well. The difference is the inability of the body to heal itself. It has never had a chance because of something wrong that has never been rectified. Remember, you are your best Doctor.

Homeopathy provides nothing but stimulation. This is why that once you regain your health, you need less and less of it.

But what are those things that have gone wrong to the point of leaving you unhealthy; not sick as such, but always feeling unwell. You don't have a disease that you can be diagnosed by a general practitioner or even a specialist, you just have scores of little things gone wrong that no-one seems to understand. Some say that it is a deficiency, but upon taking vitamin and mineral supplements you only feel better but never cured. Others say that it is nerves. Others say your diet is wrong. But is it?

Homeopathy explains it this way:

In the beginning when man was first created, he must have been healthy. He got sick somewhere along the line, and because he never really recovered, he passed it on to his next generation. This is very well, one might say, but how do we know what, if it was hundreds or thousands of years ago?

The Answer is: - The cause of disease as occurred in original man must have been any one or any combination of the following:

1. Emotional (shock, trauma, anxiety, fear, etc.)
2. Physical trauma
3. Nutritional
4. Nervous
5. Infections
6. Pollution (chemical, radiations, food additives etc.)
7. Environmental

There is obviously an inter-relationship between these. The reason, for example, that you catch a cold when you are run down is because your resistance has been lowered.

Many things can lower your resistance:

Emotions, Tensions, Deficiencies, Wrong Food, Tiredness, Extremes of Climates, etc. Whatever lowers your resistance will lead to disease. That is, your body is then prone to catching infection etc. Even nervous tension can cause mal-absorption of minerals, etc.

This is nothing new, one may say. What is new however, is the fact that so few people realize that infections are the main reasons why people transmit their disease to their next generation. This is because micro-organism or at least some of them, penetrate the cell and affect the genes. "So why am I sick?" one might ask.

This is the Answer: - Homeopathy has always insisted that 80% of the time 80% of the people suffer not from a disease but from the after effects of past infections. In recent times medical statistics have shown that 70-80% of people attending a Doctors clinic have nothing that is curable. "There is nothing wrong with you" is the too common explanation one gets today.

The Fact is: - There is something wrong with you when you complain of discomfort, no matter how vague it may be. Tests will not show what you have or why you are sick. That's because you haven't got a disease as such, but effects, unobvious as they may seem, of past infections. How many times have we heard someone say " I have never been well since I had pneumonia or the flu vaccine" . One has to know what the cause of the disease is before one can even attempt to cure it.

This is what makes Homeopathy what it is. The fact that it is the only branch of medicine that goes into the real cause of disease. To say that your problem is all nervous, or that you must be doing something wrong in so far as your diet is concerned, etc., is nothing but to scratch the surface. These are but unproven opinions.

This is therefore what has to be cured. And this, only Homeopathy can do. True enough, antibiotics can and do arrest an infection, but: -

1. Antibiotics prevent the body from fighting for itself.
2. Antibiotics are mainly effective in acute conditions, and
3. Do so by antidoting the effect of the microbial toxins or destroying the microbe itself.

On the other hand, Homeopathy cures by stimulating the body's defense mechanism and does so in either acute or chronic conditions. This is why Homeopathy is so effective.

It is unfortunate however, that people, after they have allowed their body to be depleted, to be devitalized, to be rendered chronic through the wrong treatment, wrong food, etc., finally come to the Homeopath in the hope that they may buy a quick cure. Once you understand that there is no cure, only a regaining of one's health, of what we had in the beginning but had lost, you will understand why it takes so long for the body to recover from illness.

Because illness tends to run in families, as demonstrated above, it is obvious that parents ought to have been cured before being allowed to reproduce and only then will their offspring be healthy. Bernard Shaw, in reply to a question about his good health, replied that he was healthy because he was born from healthy parents.

Homeopathy, in conjunction with good diet, proper environment, adequate rest, refrain from consumption of contaminated foods, avoidance of unnecessary medication, exercise, a positive outlook on life, etc., can therefore be the only answer to your problem. Any of those alone is just insufficient.

So, as you can see, there is no mystery to your health problem only lack of understanding.

It is hoped therefore that this short explanation of Disease as viewed by Homeopathy will help you understand how health can be regained and retained.
