The founder of homeopathy, Dr Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843), was a German physician of great intellect, dedication and compassion. He recognised that the medicines of his day were often haphazard, and that they focused on the suppression of symptoms and annihilation of dis-ease organisms through purgatives, blood-letting and toxic levels of ‘medicinal’ substances.
He was convinced that if a patient survived an illness, it was in spite of the medicine, not necessarily because of it. The medicines of his day seemed so harsh that he began to dilute them significantly to a minute dose and found that his patients had a far more favourable response to the diluted medications. He further discovered that the remedies carried by horseback to his patients were more effective than those that were not, and realised that the vigorous jolting of the remedies during the journey made them more powerful.
Likewise, modern studies have shown that the more a homeopathic remedy is diluted, the more effective it becomes. This may sound absurd because chemically and molecularly speaking, the solution is becoming weaker and weaker. In fact, after a certain dilution is reached, there are no longer any molecules of the original substance present in the solution. So how can this be possible?
Everything in existence pulsates with energy and vibrates at its own unique electro-magnetic frequency. Alcohol and especially water have an exceptional ability to hold or carry an electro-magnetic frequency or energy pattern, and every homeopathic solution is an electro-magnetic solution that holds the frequency of the original physical substance. In addition, the more often fresh water and alcohol are added to the homeopathic solution and shaken vigorously, the more energised the water and alcohol molecules become. Each one of more than 5 000 homeopathic remedies or solutions has its own identifiable electro-magnetic frequency.
To understand the significance of this, we have to recognise that humans are made up of both body and soul, physical matter and energy, and it is this energy (the ‘vital force’) that governs the physical. Each cell in our body operates at a certain frequency and all our cells network together to keep our body in harmony. Experiments have shown that our cells are a hundred times more sensitive to electro-magnetic than to chemical stimulation.
What makes us sick?
Micro-organisms live in and around us all the time but do not harm us. However, any stress to our system, whether emotional, physical or mental, creates the ideal conditions for micro-organisms to flourish.
Stressors include toxicity, trauma, pathogens, mental and emotional factors (fear, anxiety, anger), electro and environmental pollution, poor nutrition, heredity factors, poor living conditions, lifestyle issues, lack of sleep, excess physical or mental labour, and extreme environmental changes (temperature, altitude, damp, dryness, deficiency syndrome, etc.) First comes the stressor which causes the conditions for dis-ease – later comes the illness. Only after an internal or external stressor has disturbed our vital force, will bacteria or viruses thrive.
For example, a sudden change in weather may bring on a bout of colds or flu within a family. They transferred amongst them certain micro-organisms, but none of these harmed them until a sudden change in weather conditions. Only then were the bacteria able to thrive and multiply. Therefore, to bring about an improvement in health, one should focus on boosting the vital force rather than killing the bacteria.
You could kill the bacteria with an antibiotic, but another bacteria or virus may gain a foothold in the still weakened vital force - or you can boost the vital force, and by removing the conditions which the bacteria is enjoying – prevent any further micro-organism from thriving. By stimulating the vital force, homeopathic medicine encourages the body’s natural healing mechanisms at an electro-magnetic or energetic level and thereby restores balance and harmony to the body.
Homeopathic medicine is a complete system of natural medicine which we are only now beginning to be able to measure and understand scientifically. Homeopathy can be used to treat absolutely any ailment, including problems that have no clear diagnosis, because homeopathy treats the individual, not the dis-ease. Homeopathic medicine aims to heal – not suppress or manage symptoms; its objective is true healing at all levels – mental, physical and emotional.
Homeopathic remedies are affordable, highly effective, and safe for infants, pregnant and breastfeeding mothers, the elderly and even animals. They have no side effects because only a minute amount of the active ingredient is used in their preparation. They work by stimulating the body’s own healing powers. A single homeopathic remedy, which can last for several years, can be used over and over to treat a host of ailments.
