Man, beast and plants are helped by the remedies. For over 200 years, homeopathy has been employed. Currently mankind and animals have been treated by physicians, homeopaths and vets with homeopathy, and recently agricultural and plant applications have begun to be explored at much reduced cost and no toxicity compared to current technologies; to strengthen plants, deter pests, disease and balance soils. A first book on agricultural use has also been published. (Ref 2)
The remedies act to heal the whole man, instead of target tissues and organs the remedies act on the healing principle of the person, which permeates their whole being. So the remedies act on all facets of human experience; physical, emotional, and psychological, to help man create total equilibrium in natures own way and at the speed to which his body is capable of healing with the least amount of distress.
Homeopathic philosophy trusts the created wisdom of the body and its communications (symptoms) and its created ability to heal itself when given the necessary raw materials (healthy food, nutrition, exercise etc.). Symptoms are viewed as the body’s inherent best effort in protecting itself and generally beneficial (although can be life threatening in a crisis and need to be addressed), so medicines that cause symptoms similar to what the body is already communicating resonates with the current body frequency (or symptom state) and amplifies its effect –Then the body responds in an equal and opposite manner (Newtons 3rd law of motion), to maintain equilibrium, and symptoms are relieved. (Ref 16)
Modern “anti” drugs (antihistamines etc.) push the body off balance and inhibit the body’s natural protective mechanisms. In order to maintain equilibrium the body responds in equal and opposite manner, thus causing the symptoms to return, necessitating repeating drugs, and increasing dosages as the body’s equilibrium response becomes stronger than the “anti” drug or nullifying its effect altogether, necessitating using multiple of the same class of drug or alternative stronger “anti” drugs. The drug also becomes metabolized by the body; which it does so because the body does not perceive the need for the medicine (like how your body gets rid of toxins and other extra water soluble vitamins it doesn’t need).
This applies to all substances that suppress the body’s response or alter conditions in any way (even over the counter drugs or some herbs). If this change in internal environment is externally stimulated by substances not in harmony with what the body is doing, it will induce a corrective response by the body to reach equilibrium. An antihistamine can stimulate a greater histamine response once it wears off or is metabolized, for example (more swelling, stuffier nose than before the medicine); the “rebound” effect or “addictive nature” of medicines; especially nasal sprays. If the person’s immune system is sufficiently depressed (with disease or by drugs that suppress it e.g. steroids, antihistamines, and anti-inflammatory drugs) they will not have a strong counter-action of the body because they are limited in their ability to mount any such response. It also means that all functions of the body that require repair or balancing will also be limited and suppressed because that is also its function. Sometimes it becomes necessary however to use external means of manipulation to preserve life, in which case allopathy is much appreciated.
You also know the effectiveness of healing of a medicine by the fact that you DO NOT have to take it forever! If you have to continually take a drug or herb always, this is only palliating the symptoms and is not truly curative. If a homeopathic remedy is used over a few years and completely rids you of the problem. This is curative. If the medicine can only help you with symptoms and you have to always take it, it is palliative. Even with natural medicines, I evaluate them by this point; if it means I’ll have to take it forever and I don’t feel generally stronger and healthier, it’s not working toward a cure and only alleviates or palliates the symptoms and I do not take it. Eventually you should not need it. The only exception to this rule is the need for additional vitamins and minerals, because of the massive depletion of soils and reduction of nutrients in our food, and conditions where organ failure or replacement therapy is necessary (e.g. thyroid hormone etc.)
Homeopathy focuses on the singular medicine to generate the body’s own healing power to remedy all that ails it. The entire healing principle is stimulated and therefore the entire man can begin to be brought back into balance. If more medicines are used at one time the healing principle of the body is sent in varied directions and its strength is then divided (creates dissonance). It is also the better way to identify what is healing the person experimentally (only one variable changed). When one symptom picture is healed and another presents itself, another different remedy may be needed, the symptoms must be within the remedy’s mode of action for the same remedy to be needed. If the current disease does not get better, and new symptoms appear, these new symptoms are clues to a clearer indicator of the medicine needed.
Homeopathy is inexpensive and readily available in heath food stores around the country and on-line. An initial consultation can range from $90 to $300 for two hours with a homeopath, compare $120 for 10 minutes x 12 (2 hours) = $1440 for 2 hours; and check ups or acute care visits can be 30 minutes for around $40 to $80. The remedies are about $7 for 80 pellets or 40 doses. You can also get kits of 30 to 50 most common remedies for around $120 vs. ($7 x 50 = $350). The vial says to take 5 pellets; but only two are necessary and only one if you create and use a liquid remedy; which I will be discussing how to make in a later post (“the homeopathic remedies”), and was the preferred method of use by Hahnemann late in his development of homeopathy.
It also focuses on the minimum or smallest dose, for the fewest repetitions (sometimes only one dose in acute cases), and the shortest duration of time. The homeopath does his/her job if you see them less over time as your body increases the strength of its healing principle you should be able to handle things without help (or distress). You should become more familiar with their use and become more independent in minor complaints and illnesses.
There is often a connection between the substance of the remedy, its environment and the symptoms it will treat [Doctrine of Signatures]. In understanding the source and qualities of the remedy, you can understand why it treats what it does. This relationship creates in the mind connections and reasonableness to help you remember what it works for. Homeopathy is not founded on this discipline, but it is often found to be helpful in remembering the remedies. For example Arnica Montana grows in peat, so it thrives in decay and damage; so its action is strong in injury that causes bleeding/bruising/cell damage and septic (blood poisoning) conditions. It grows in the mountains; an animal would fall into it being injured by the fall and chew on its leaves for relief. A person who needs arnica will push themselves beyond what they should to “survive” [is ingrained into many soldiers in order to survive battle]. They may not want to be touched for fear of pain by touching them, and an arnica mental state will in great debility say “there is nothing wrong with me; go away” (this is shock). Prisma by Frans Vermeulen is a beautifully descriptive volume of great depth from multiple disciplines on remedies; where they come from; what they have been used for in the past, scientific data on them, herbal use and lore etc. to enlighten a person in their use.

(sorry for my english)
for 2 months or more what I can see here is changing directions from real money mindblowing blog to ezoterical blog…
First ocultic symbolism (I heve warned you back then)in “The greatest truth…” than post on Phoenix rising from ashes – that’s Ordo Ad Chao (google that + NWO and you see more) and now Homeopathic Medicines.
I predict next will be Zeitgeist as a only surce of truth. (Google: Zeitgeist debunked). Is this blog going be on the forefront of coming new world order and New Age movement (like Zeitgeist)?
Thats what I feel like saying
@Trailhiker, thank you, my sentiments exactly.
@ Czarnek Firstly, I thank you for your comments.
Secondly you should know that the heart of this website and the academy is question everything, even those things dearest to you and search for truth. Those of us that contribute here, share what we understand as truth because we want to have the discussion with others; the new awakening to debate and challenge or reinforce and promulgate our understanding of truth. So expect ideas expressed here to challenge your understanding of the world.
So you question the phoenix symbolism? It is not some religious, occult or new age idea I am trying to express here. I simply took the predictions of many seers that coincided on the point of chastisement by fire; and from the ashes of the world a new age of peace is born to be what a phoenix is; he rises from the ashes anew. That is all, there is no hidden agenda, no occult symbolism or anything it is simply a literary form of expression that seemed to fit.
The church approved prophecies, which in the past have predicted world wars, the French revolution, the reformation, the demise of certain figures of state and other things accurately, have spoken of our time and I intend to listen. They re not of faith, but our faith was begun in prophecy, and ends in prophecy and throughout history the gift of prophecy has been given to comfort those in times of crisis and help us prepare for them, those who heeded these voices (once they were discerned by careful investigation by the church) were saved a great deal of anguish and trouble. Our Lords words to the Israelites of signs of the impending destruction of Jerusalem were exactly as he told them and if they were heeded lives were saved and starvation conditions as well as slavery were not experienced. We need to read the signs of the times. It cannot be a coincidence that so many things are coming together in so many different areas of science, religion and prophecy that indicate something significant is about to happen to mankind. If the three days of darkness are caused by planet X coming around again; and the cataclysms are caused by a polar shift from the alignment of planets and the signs of the sun in the prophecy indicate the solar storms and coronal mass ejections amidst a worldwide economic collapse (which we know is coming) and civil wars wouldn’t it help us to know so that we do not fear when it happens? That it’s not the end of the world? It comforts me a great deal to know God is in control of everything, but I still have to do my part in it (try to understand the signs of the times in relation to prophecy and prepare accordingly).
Homeopathy is not new age, it is not belief medicine and it is not magic. It is simply physics. It does not use chemistry to heal; it uses physics; resonance and energy transfer from one form to another using kinetic energy. It is firmly rooted in the scientific method and careful experimentation. Are you going to condemn Galileo because you don’t understand the telescope? Are you going to persecute those who arrive at a new scientific understanding first and call it witchcraft? Ah we’ve had this happen many times before. Where did you gain this understanding of Homeopathy? Have you studied Hahnemann and understood how he came up with his ideas and conclusions starting with the father of medicine Hippocrates? Have you spoken to physicians who have used it because they have found it to work exceedingly well from both study and experience? Have you read Homeopathic Philosophy in order to understand how the body really works within its world and what man is composed of (body and spirit), it is a most beautiful description of man, and has proven over time to be accurate to his nature.
We are not NWO and I refuse to have my language limited because every time you say boo it means something evil to someone else. Public relations and limiting my language, or changing it to mean something it does not is the way that the NWO works, not me. If you question what is said ask, that’s all you have to do. Keep asking the questions to make sure you are not assuming.
czarnek This blog is about true freedom, and learning to peel the scales from ones eyes for true personal freedom in all aspects financial, spiritual, ect…. Maybe you should go through the Academy and see for yourself what this is all about.
Czarnek (brzmi polsko)
I feel you, although I have no problem with Health Warrior posting his well researched articles here. I don’t believe in homeopathy and think it works on the placebo principle and have argued with HW but I don’t see harm in him promoting his ideas here on this “alternative ideas” forum.
I find it a bit of a pitty, that Chris has used this blog to recruit the people for his ideas and now left this part of his project to focus on his paying customers. But hey, you can still get bits of good information here.
And if I find errors in the articles I care about (which happens often) I like pointing them out. I see this blog now as a good training ground on discussing non-mainstream ideas. I even posted one article about the ESM a couple of weeks ago.
Homeopathy consistently and repeatedly is effective on both plants and animals, who do not have the reason and free will to be subjective to the placebo effect, therefore reason demands that it cannot therefore be effective in that manner.
Many people do not have the responses they expect from homeopathy because they use it like allopathic medicine; take x medicine for y diagnosis (like following the label of the homeopathic medicine that says it’s for sinus problems). This is not using the remedies properly, and will lead to ineffectiveness in some cases and disillusionment in their effectiveness.
You have to know the entire symptom picture of the person and be able to match the entire symptom picture to the remedy that fits. You have to know the general character of the person and the general character of the remedy. The remedies have to become persons with personalities and quirks and symptoms to you, so you can clearly recognize them and use them well after you have studied materia medica and your symptoms in the repertory.
Some cases have maintaining causes; toxicity, bad diet, prolonged loss of sleep, constant fear etc., others have exciting causes “never better since y” and some have miasms or deep inherited disease. All of these factors must be addressed by a homeopath, some can be eliminated, and some cannot. It is much more complicated than “just taking a sugar pill” for the ailment I want to fix. There are practitioners that have incredible healing effectiveness with their use of homeopathy, Vithoulkas and others. James Tyler Kent in America was well known for his curing of diseased persons, and created foundational work in philosophy and studies of remedies. Personal experience is a powerful deterrent and motivator, from prudentis’s experience and his own research he doesn’t see their value and mine is the opposite experience, I not only value them, we promote them, and in doing so have garnered great support for the use of them in my circle of family and friends, and it grows steadily.
That is the wonderful thing about this blog, we can express ideas we understand to be truth, we can have discussions about that understanding, but in the end the decision to take it or leave it is up to you. We are not the government who doesn’t give you a choice. Follow what resonates with you, as Chris mentions.
Nice to see the humility out there prudentis,……that you are here to correct all of our many mistakes. It’s like living with my daughter, she is as critical about everything as you are so I’m familiar with it; it used to be a great source of irritation to me, but now I can see its purpose and it is a great intellectual exercise for me; so in that sense I thank you. Civil, intellectual banter if you will.
Chris is only one man, the hours he was spending on just answering e-mails was enough to not have any time for his young family. I can understand wholeheartedly why he needed to reduce his workload and focus on the next steps.
you will have noticed the “if” in my sentence, I hope.
And the errors part was not directed at you, because I can’t point out errors in your articles, (since I am not really well educated on homeopathy) just my disbelief.
I have however a few expertise fields, where I am regularly able to find very bad mistakes to some very bad assumtions in this blog. Mainly regarding monetary theory, peak oil and growth systems.
@Prudentis; so are you a peak oil person or do you believe it’s a natural byproduct of the earth? In the sense that we don’t have to wait for the ponds to decay into shale, and if we don’t use it, it will just bubble out of the earth. Do you like aquaponics? I love the ecosystem/symbiotic relationship it builds.
Loaded questions don’t work on me, Warrior.
Oil is earth’s natural product, of which we have used about half the reserves and the remaining reserves are becoming harder and harder to come by in light of EI/ER.
Yes it will replenish itself … in another few million years or so. If we can wait that long, then there is no problem
I don’t know what aquaponics have to do with anything I have said but no, I do not like aquaponics, because until today I haven’t heard a word about that technology and had to google it. It sounds very interesting and I am all for alternative technologies. I hope this particular technology can indeed fulfill the promise.
@Prudentis, it wasn’t meant to be a loaded question. I’ve just read several versions of the peak oil theory and wondered which way you leaned.
I was just curious about what you thought of aquaponics, because you said one of your topics of expertise was growth systems, which aquaponics is a relatively new growth system. I have listened to a number of presentations on the topic and was curious what your take was. That is all.
Health Warrior,
I honor you for having the courage to speak the truth about homeopathy – the most disdained of all medical endeavors and yet one of the most powerful and in the end likely to endure way beyond the current conventional therapies.
And I am impressed with your understanding. It is rare I actually see people discussing homeopathy in terms that do it justice – as you have.
None of this will stop the sceptics of course, who don’t really believe in science (as the unbiased investigation of phenomena). They believe in “Science” (as in, the Church of Science with immutable laws passed down by the church fathers). Of course real scientists have long moved on from the idea of having positive unchanging unified knowledge of reality (the way 19th century chemists and the current medical research “evidence based” world believe)
You are correct that homeopathic remedies work by principles of physics and materials science, not high school chemistry (which sceptics seem to so treasure). A recent study showed it is likely Avagadro was wrong – as it found nano-particles of source materials in homeopathic remedies which had been diluted to 10(-400):
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?term=homeopathic%20bellare
And homeopathy has been thoroughly studied by faculty at Harvard, Yale, Cambridge, Duke, Stanford, Tufts, Georgetown, University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, by members of the US National Academy of Sciences, Fellows of the Royal Society, etc – all with positive results.
I would just add to your post that homeopathy has not only been studied on animals and plants, but extensively in vitro (cells in culture).
A recent review of biological models showed that 73% of all in vitro experiments were positive for true biological activity of high potency homeopathic remedies (supposedly beyond Avagadro’s constant). And 73% of all replications were also positive. These involve cells in culture, completely devoid of placebo response, though of course the experiments were still blinded and controlled.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17544864
One other area of study is physico-chemical research which has been able to use various technologies (such as UV Visible and Raman spectroscopy, and phMetry) to verify properties of homeopathic remedies very different from water controls. The following stuies were conducted by the late Rustum Roy – one of the most distinguished scientists of the past century – pioneer of materials science, emeritus professor of numerous science departments at Penn State, Univ AZ and a member of the National Academy of Sciences in 5 countries (US, Sweden, India, Pakistan, Russia). He published close to 1,000 papers and held 25 patents. He conducted studies demonstrating the differences between homeopathic remedies and controls as well as differences bewteen different remedies and different potencies within the same remedy.

You can read more about Rustum Roy and more at my blog: http://WorldOfHomeopathy.wordpress.com
@Chris, thanks for your post; it is helpful to have more resources for people. Here is more info on the studies on animals and plants, which many people are not as familiar with. I have written a few articles so far on homeopathy, they are all part of my original 30 page article, which was too big to post. So I will continue to put the rest of my thoughts out there. Thanks for your encouragement
In the book Homeopathy for Farm and garden by Vaikunthanath Das Kaviraj, he has developed the first repertory and materia medica for plants. I know this is a new phenomenon as far as public studies, but it has been experimentally used, for quite some time with good results in many cases. In the book he discusses the study of the plant and not the disease or the insect that plagues it (classical homeopathy is its focus). He discusses the assessment of the plant, the totality of its symptoms and finding the similimum. He also discusses agriculture, soil structure and plant physiology. He states “Compared with the hundreds of years of cooperative international research between thousands of homeopaths focused upon human health, the word presented here is paltry. Whilst I hope that it is clear that what has been presented is a reasonable foundation, it is equally clear that so much more needs to be done to reveal the potential of the discipline”. He also gives the http://www.considera.org as a place to collect more international information on the subject. So while the studies are not so widespread and known by universities etc. they are yet being done, and the results applied to homeopathic preparations in India which now compete for the agricultural market at considerable cost savings for the farmers.
The academy of veterinary homeopathy specifically states it was established to ” To advance veterinary homeopathy through education and research” http://www.theavh.org/referral/sop.php
Here is also a link to the recent database on clinical research in veterinary homeopathy.
