For people who use Homeopathy, it is only natural to ask what does Homeopathy offer in our modern and uncertain times?Dr. Skye Weintraub, author of Natural Healing with Cell Salts states that the first line of defense is to have a healthy, vibrant immune system.
Dr. Weintraub tells us that one way to enhance our immune system and be healthier, is through the use of homeopathic remedies. Information on using homeopathy with current threats of epidemics with Ebola, Hanta Virus,Whooping Cough,
Lyme Disease, flesh eating strep, etc. are in books such as Homeopathy Healing by Eileen Nauman.

In 1850, a homeopathic college was founded in Ohio due to homeopathic success rates during the cholera epidemics in the United States. Educated doctors abandoned bloodletting and stopped administering large doses of poisons to purge the body. Doctors now began to use homeopathic remedies as a safe and more effective treatment against yellow fever, typhoid, and scarlet fever.

By 1900, 100 homeopathic hospitals existed. Popularity of homeopathy in all classes of society encouraged the development of 22 homeopathic medical schools, and the opening of over 1000 homeopathic pharmacies. Over 20% of doctors during this period considered themselves homeopaths. Lectures on Materia Medica contains James Kent lectures on homeopathic philosophy from this active period in homeopathy. Dr. Kent spoke on how to effectively use homeopathic remedies.

The American Medical Association (AMA) was beginning its strong hold in medicine. Conventional medicine never ceased its attack on homeopathy. Dr. McCormack in the early 1900's said, "We must admit that we have never fought the homeopath on community and got the business."

The Carnegie Foundation in 1910 issued a report sanctioning allopathic (conventional) medical schools. At the same time condemning homeopathic schools.

With newer medicines and $350 million being poured into allopathic medicine and hospitals by John D. Rockefeller, homeopathic schools began to close due to lack of support and money.

Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843) is considered the Father of Homeopathy. A physician, scholar, teacher and scientist in Germany. Hahnemann coined the term "homeopathy" from Greek terms, meaning similar suffering, to denote the basic law of similars. This discovery of the law of similar came with his experiments with Cinchona bark.
The Cinchona experiments soon followed with experiments by himself and others using many other substances. The experiments and symptoms produced by the substances were documented as "provings".
See Principles and Laws of Homeopathy for further discussion. These principles and laws explain why homeopathy is so safe and natural, while strengthening the immune system and allowing our bodies to balance and heal. Homeopathic medicine was first used for a wide-scale epidemic in 1801 when Samuel Hahnemann MD, observed that a child who was being treated with a homeopathic preparation of belladonna resisted scarlet fever even though all three siblings were affected. Wondering whether the belladonna had acted prophylactically, Hahnemann began giving it to children in other families when the first ones fell ill, and he found it to be protective despite a 90% attack rate among the untreated. The method was accepted by the regular doctors and the Prussian government.

"Samuel Hahnemann, was the first man to conceive that the products of disease could be used in the cure of diseases. His preparation, Psorinum, was the first vaccine to be made.:--T.T.M. Dishington (1928)."
Dorothy Shepherd in the book, More Magic of the Minimum Dose, writes, "What do homoeopaths want immunizing substances for? We have got much better agents which have been used clinically and proved many years before immunization was even thought of. We call them nosodes."

This direction of treating the person with a remedy that resonates best with Who We Are is called Constitutional Prescribing. Constitutional Homeopathy enables us to get through the myriad of health complaints, symptoms and repertorizing to find the remedy that best resonates with Who We Are. Samuel Hahnemann, noticed this phenomenon when he mentioned that "Nux Vomica seemed particularly well suited to fiery, violent, and malicious people, whilst Pulsatilla was well suited to timid, anxious, tearful people of a gentle and mild disposition."
Constitutional remedies do not change Who We Are anymore than moving away from our family changes our heritage. Constitutional remedies can though help
strengthen our weak areas and act deeper in our system to help us stay balanced in life.
In the book The Spirit of Homeopathic Medicines the author Didier Grandgeorge, M.D., tells us, "...exploring the 'spirit of homeopathic medicines', or the underlying psychological issues encountered in each remedy..., allows us to explain in just a few words all symptoms brought about by that remedy."
Studying homeopathy is enjoyable and fruitful. Enjoy!
