Did You
Know
What is Classical Homeopathy
Public Attitudes Around the
World
Did you know?
Homeopathy can be safely
integrated into standard health
care practices to help you heal
faster and more completely
overall.
Homeopathy offers natural
remedies for many of our
emotional and physical
sufferings, injuries and
traumas.
Homeopathy will not interfere
with prescribed medications or
surgery.
Homeopathy is not
herbal treatment. Herbal and
vitamin supplements aim to
alleviate certain symptoms of
disease or biochemical imbalance
rather than correcting the
‘imbalance’ of the whole person
at one time, mentally,
emotionally and physically.
Homeopathy is safe and effective
during pregnancy, infancy and
throughout the life span into
old age.
Homeopathy addresses your health
problems of today and the past
to help guard against further
problems later on.
Homeopathy, since its inception
over 200 years ago, has not one
recorded incidence of adverse
effects. Whereas, the sixth
leading cause of death in the
U.S. is due to peventable drug
errors (Institute Of Medicine,
2000).

What is Classical Homeopathy?
Classical Homeopathy is a
systematic therapeutic which
does not limit its concerns to
controlling individual symptoms
as they come along but rather
seeks to restore physical,
emotional and mental health all
at the same time. This method
gently and safely strengthens
your innate ability to heal when
you are under more strain in
your life than you should be.
The goal here is to lower your
susceptibility to illness at
whatever level in the least
invasive, most rapid and
permanent manner possible.
A Classical Homeopath is trained
to respect your innate power to
heal, (your "doctor within") and
locates the single best
homeopathic remedy tailored just
for you. It is wise to consult
with an experienced and
qualified Classical Homeopath
for your more complex or chronic
health concerns since locating
the correct remedy can often
confuse beginners. An
experienced Classical Homeopath
skillfully applies this method
to identify and match the
totality of your symptoms to
those mimicked by a homeopathic
remedy (heal like illness with
like remedy). Healing with
homeopathy happens when you work
with signs and symptoms
of illness rather than
against them. Finding the
correct match is not unlike
experiencing a tonic for your
whole being, (mind, body and
spirit all at one time).

From India’s National Systems of
Medicine
- In India it has become a
household name due the safety of
its pills and gentleness of its
cure.
-[Homeopathy] has been
recognized as one of the
National Systems of Medicine and
plays an important role in
providing health care to a large
number of people. Its strength
lies in its evident
effectiveness as it takes a
holistic approach towards the
sick individual through
promotion of inner balance at
mental, emotional, spiritual and
physical levels.
From England’s National Health
Service
- Around 200 randomized
controlled trials evaluating
homeopathy have been conducted,
and there are also several
reviews of these trials. Despite
the available research, it has
proven difficult to produce
clear clinical evidence that
homeopathy works. Many studies
suggest that any effectiveness
that homeopathy may have is due
to the placebo effect, where the
act of receiving treatment is
more effective than the
treatment itself.
- Medical doctors and scientists
do not generally accept
homeopathy because its claims
have not been verified to the
standards of modern medicine and
scientific method. Scientists
argue that homeopathy cannot
work because the remedies used
are so highly diluted that in
many there can be none of the
active substance remaining.
From USA’s, National Institutes
of Health, Center for
Complementary and Alternative
Medicine
- The results of individual,
controlled clinical trials of
homeopathy have been
contradictory. In some trials,
homeopathy appeared to be no
more helpful than a placebo; in
other studies, some benefits
were seen that the researchers
believed were greater than one
would expect from a placebo.
- A common theme in the reviews
of homeopathy trials is that
because of these problems and
others, it is difficult or
impossible to draw firm
conclusions about whether
homeopathy is effective for any
single clinical condition.
From USA’s American Medical
Association
There is little evidence to
confirm the safety or efficacy
of most alternative therapies.
Much of the information
currently known about these
therapies makes it clear that
many have not been shown to be
efficacious. Well-designed,
stringently controlled research
should be done to evaluate the
efficacy of alternative
therapies (1997).
