How Homeopathy Works

Homeopathy works on “principle of similars”; a substance which can produce symptoms in a healthy person can be used in diluted form to treat similar symptoms in a sick person. Other than that, nobody really knows how homeopathy works, although there are lot of speculations. I believe that homeopathy works in many different ways.

In case of allergy for example to ragweed, basically the allergy can be cured, by taking the same plant in homeopathic (higher) form, called Ambrosia – it will cancel the effect caused by the plant ragweed (lower form). This is basically explained by homeopathic experiment itself; if you take first low potency of homeopathic medicine, like 6 X and after that higher potency 200 C of the same medicine, the higher potency tends to cancel the effects of lower potency.

Some homeopaths also claim that vibrational homeopathic element, opposite to an element in the body, has neutralizing effect on the bodily element. This might be similar to antidoting effect. According Materia Medica, which describes the nature of each homeopathic medicine, there are antidoting, inimical and “follow well” medicines for almost every medicine. Personally though, I feel most of them are just assumptions or explainable in more logical way.

In case if one has lack of, for example, calcium, one would think the potentized homeopathic calcium (Calcarea Carb) would help the body to take up calcium from food – and it might be so – but as it also removes the excess calcium deposits from the joints, we might need another explanation too.

Homeopathic thyroidinum helps with both cases hyper- and hypothyroidism. It appears to stimulate normalising effects in thyroid. We can compare it to yoga asanas, some asanas like Shoulder stand helps with hyperthyroidism, but the same asanas also help with hypothyroidism.

Common explanation seems to be that homeopathic medicine creates vibration of the substance into body, so that the body can build up immunity to it. Quite similarly the conventional immunization method uses small doses of a weakened pathogen to enhance immunity and prevent what larger doses can cause.

Sick body creates inflammation or discharge in order to throw out a disease. The normal medicines tend to suppress the symptoms and even push the disease deeper into the body. Homeopathic medicines first rather aggravate the symptoms. It might be that they actually brings the “disease” from chronic state to acute state, which is more easy to cure.

Interestingly Silicea has opposite functions. It is used in lower potency to suppurate a stick out from flesh, or to help abscess to suppurate pus out. Anyhow when the abscess is discharging, higher potency of Silicea is used for absorbing the pus and promoting final healing of the wound.

When I was in Africa I used to have constantly flea bites. A homeopath doctor gave me Pulex for that and I never anymore had flea bites. Pulex is potenticed medicine made out of flea. How did all the fleas run away, or how they no longer dared to touch me?

In India a homeopath doctor gave me Hepar Sulph for some inflammation. On that very same day I was given also duty by my higher authority to burn all sorts of trash on fire in the courtyard. Only after reading Materia Medica, I understood that description of Hepar Sulph ‘type of patient’ includes impulse to set things on fire, or throw things on fire.

Coincidence one might think, but it was not the only coincidence experience. While once taking Calc Carb, I saw swarms of nasty rats. (It should actually work opposite way; when you are scared of seeing rats take Calc Carb). I would put this phenomenon on the basket of karmic reasons. Anyhow don’t worry, you won’t necessarily see those things, it seems to depend on how deeply you are in that kind of state that requires certain medicine.

What kind of effect the shaking in the preparation phase has on homeopathic medicine? Nobody really knows, but nuclear scientist Keshe thinks that by using succussion any liquid can be made magnetic, which will interact with the water in the human body. Hence the cells in the body get realigned to original, healthy state. This is similar how iron is magnetized by succussion in order to realign the iron molecules. http://www.keshefoundation.org/latest-papers/pdf/1.html.

When researchers were shaking diluted water, having a medicinal substance in it, an ice crystal with electrical field was created. Some people assume that homeopathic medicines are “energy medicines” that act on the chi, or “life energy” of the person.

Nano products carry more and more bodies of information in smaller and smaller chips. Same way homeopathy may carry loads of information, should we call homeopathy as “nanopathy”?

We really need more subtle methods of scientific exploration in order to explain everything about homeopathy.
