Homeopathy
Homeopathy is a completely natural treatment where the goal is to restore the body to its original state of health. When the body suffers from a disease, the organs operate less efficiently than normal. Homeopathy regulates the functioning of the organs by restoring their maximum strength. This regulation is achieved by subconsciously stimulating the curative potential that lies in the human body.
The ingredients with which homeopathic remedies are manufactured are natural substances, such as plants and animal tissues. Sometimes minerals are used as a base. One of the fundamental principles in homeopathy is the axiom that explains that a natural substance which in certain doses would cause certain symptoms in the body, contains the energy pattern that helps arouse the latent intelligence in the cell capable of curing the same symptoms.
Chemically, homeopathic remedies do not contain the substance that is used as an ingredient to manufacture them. Rather this substance is used to transfer its pattern of energy through static electricity to a base of lactose, alcohol, or isotonic solution. This is why one of the advantages of homeopathy is its absolute harmlessness so that even a newborn baby could use it safely. In homeopathy there is no overdose. [home-remedies-site.com] The effect obtained when ingesting one pill is exactly the same as the one obtained if you were to ingest a hundred or a thousand pills at the same time.
The cells in the human body are built based on the same elements, the same atomic laws, and the same chemical weapons that constitute the rest of Nature; animal, vegetable, and mineral. In the animal kingdom, let’s look at the example of the pig and its ability to regenerate the tissues in its joints with surprising speed. One of the homeopathic remedies that is used to treat an injured disk (an incurable condition in the traditional allopathic medicine) contains as its active ingredient the joint tissue of a pig’s disk. This energy pattern provides the specific instructions to human cells to regenerate those tissues in the back. The result that has been observed in scientific studies conducted in Germany, is that in a period of two to three years the patients achieve optimal back health after having suffered one of these injuries. This is just an example of the many treatments in homeopathic medicine from Homotoxicology. In this branch of homeopathy treatment exists for about 600 diseases including cancer and AIDS.
For those who accept the evolution theory of organic life on earth, it is simply a matter of logic to recognize that the animal, vegetable, and mineral kingdoms contain a record of the intelligence of nature. This record is contained in the subconscious memory of the life force that has been expressed in millions of ways through the billions of years of the history of the planet earth.
Today the homeopathic school called Homotoxicology postulated by German scientist Hans Heinrich Reckeweg represents the most advanced curative technology in the Western world. Remedies made using Homotoxicology contain homeopathic ingredients that work not only to heal individual cells in the affected organs but also to help the excretory systems of the body to eliminate homotoxins that are the cause of all malaise.
These ailments are classified under six categories. Each describes the level of degeneration of the organs depending on how impregnated they are by the toxins. home-remedies-site.com For example, a slight bronchitis would be in the number one phase of discomfort in the respiratory system. Cancer of the lungs, on the other hand, would be in the number six phase of degeneration. Therefore, the cancer patient would take six or more different homeopathic formulas to treat each phase of impregnation involved in the cancer. The patient with bronchitis would take one or two formulas to restore the highest level of his/her lung efficiency.
Another advantage of homeopathy is that relief of symptoms occurs almost instantaneously, and the gradual improvement thereafter, when using the right treatment for the correct diagnosis.
It is a pity that most people in the world do not know this method of therapy because of the commercialization of allopathic medicine and pharmaceutical companies. These drugs, even those that are sold without a prescription, relieve symptoms in the short term. But in the long term, they are actually toxic to cells, stunting the body’s systems with the passing of the years. The existence of Homotoxicology and homeopathic treatments is a great fortune for those who have used and tested for themselves the wonderful benefits and results of this wonderful alternative.
