Homeopathy History

Dangers of Homeopathic Medicine


Homeopathy ~ Homeopathy is based on a system of "like cures." It means that a poison [which] causes illness in a healthy person can treat the same in someone ill. A substance is significantly reduced to make a remedy safe to stimulate the body's self-healing properties. Treatment works according to three basic laws of cure. (A) That symptoms move down from the top of the body, (B) Move outwards from the inside of the body, (C) Move from the most important organs to the least important. 

The more a remedy was diluted, the more specific the effect seemed. The Homeopath sees the symptoms of illness as a sign that the body is using its natural self-healing abilities to fight back. Homeopathic treatment seeks to stimulate this self-healing process. Practitioners may be classical or complex homeopaths. The practitioner will ask about medical history, lifestyle, diet, moods, likes, and dislikes. The practitioner draws up a symptom picture to pinpoint strengths and weaknesses. Your symptom picture matches those in the homeopathic repertories, including over 2,000 remedies. The real skill lies in prescribing your remedy.

Biblically, this is putting the practice of something else over God's divine healing, and most of the time, homeopathy can cause more problems than good.
