Read the Organon. Hahnemann explains it.

Homeopathy (homeopathic medicine) is a system of medicine founded in the early 19th century by a German physician, Dr. Samuel Christian Hahnemann (1775-1843). Classical homeopathy rests on three principles: the law of similars, the single medicine, and the minimum dose. The law of similars states that a disease is cured by a medicine that creates symptoms similar to those the patient is experiencing. Hence, an important part of the prescription of a homeopathic medicine is a lengthy interview to determine all the symptoms. The homeopathic physician then prescribes the medicine that best matches the symptoms. The principle of the single remedy states that a single medicine should cover all the symptoms the patient is experiencing: mental, emotional and physical. The principle of the minimum dose has two parts. First, the homeopathic physician prescribes only a small number of doses of the homeopathic medicine and waits to see what effect the medicine has. Second, the medicine is given in an infinitesimal dose. There are many training programs and courses in homeopathy in both the U.S. and abroad. However, no diploma or certificate from any school or program is recognized as a license to practice homeopathy in the U.S.

Some qualified homeopaths use the titles DHt, DHANP and CCH.

ACCREDITING ORGANIZATIONS The National Center for Homeopathy (NCH) NCH was founded in 1974 as a nonprofit organization,with a membership made up of both the public and professionals. It is a descendant of the American Foundation for Homeopathy which was established in 1922. The NCH is now the largest homeopathic organization in the U.S. The mission of the NCH is to promote health through homeopathy and public education on the discipline.

Dr. Masroor, sorry to disappoint you, but no one knows how the homeopathic remedies act on the body. There are various theories but none verified.

We actually do know how they work. Hahnemann laid it out in the Organon. It's just that the explanation doesn't satisfy people who want an explanation that fits into the materialistic scientific framework. I'd suggest that these people work on their thinking and belief system so they can better understand the explanation of how the remedies work.

imo, what H explains in Organon is theory, not verified through any experimentation. Maybe you are right, since it doesn't fit into the materialistic frame work so we don't understand it.

What we know at the moment is E=mc2, so even if homeopathy is energy based, its a function of mass.

If Physics gets a new model, then, maybe we can understand how remedies work.

So, you think physics only has one model?
Vewy intewesting postulation there. I don't think you are correct.
There are two opposing theories. And they seem at odds with each other (one 'macro' and one 'micro' - but the string theory is one theory that possibly could make sense of the two together - in unison. Though, how this would impact a materialist understanding of homeopathy I'm not sure about. And fwankly, I don't think it matters.

Shirley already stated clearly that one only has to grasp the Organon to understand how remedies work; pssst - dynamically (as in - not materially).
It's really very simple when it finally clicks! Very exciting in terms of understanding and how it impacts the rest of one's thinking.

IMO you would be better off to study spiritual science (science becasue it follows definite laws and the experiences can be replicated if you follow the exercises given by Rudolf Steiner or the Ekkenkars) such as that developed by Emanuel Swedenborg, Rudolf Steiner or Cabala than looking to physics to help you. Maybe someday physics will be able to explain it, but for now an understanding of spiritual science will provide a firm basis for knowledge.

dear members, i thank you for your input.

frankly speaking you hve not followed at all what i am searching. i want to know how did he cure the patient by expelling his stones. wht mdicine he used? how the medicine does act in the body? why he does not know about the medicine.

First read my complete mail what i observed>>>

I am an amature practitioner. I passed my M.B.B.S certification from Karachi, Pakistan. After completing my house job. I opened my clinic in an area, which is under developed area of karachi city. Just after opening the clinic. I gained momentum and captured so many patients. The reason was, my consultation fee was very low, moreover, I used injection therapy which is very popular in karachi area. By doing this trick, I became popular. About 50 patients per day were visiting my clinic.

Few homeopaths were already working near my clinic. From the last 6 months, I saw many patients which were actually taking medicine from homeopaths but when they failed to give any relief in their acutes, patient started leaving their therapy. One day, a patient consultated me with severe renal colic. In routine, the patient was immediatly put on I.V drip and analgesic injection were inserted. After that the patient was adv to get USG report. The report revealed that patient has stone of 2.3 cm in size in rt kidney. For confirmation KUB was also done. I adv to pt to consult any surgeon for removing the stones.

About a month after, he again visited my clinic with USG report from the same doctor and happily told me that his stones have been passed. Here is the USG report with comments "Normal USG Report". That was a surprise news for me. He said, I took medicine from Dr. Khalid (a homeopath sitting near my clinic) and by the grace of Allah almighty, my stones have been passed. I congratulate him and the patient left my clinic. I was very surprised by the outcome of the treatment. I thought may be reports are wrong because this is very difficult to crush the stones with medicines.

On the next day, when I was coming to my clinic, I stopped at Dr. Khalid's clinic and said hello to him. He was poorly dressed up. There were no proper cleaniness. Clinic was also not impressive. The furniture was of low qualifty. Dust were also present on medicinal bottle. He was looking like a philosopher and not homeopathic doctor. I pay him salam and congraulation and started discussion with him. I came to know that he knew nothing about medical system. He was building the castle in the air.

This compels me to start learning homeopathy. I started searching web sites and found good material but I am not satisfied yet.

I know homeopathy works but how? this is the question which is pinching my mind. I hope you will guide me.


thannkthnks agin for your response. sorry for keyborad errors.

Why don't you ask Dr Khalid?
Quote:

On the vitalistic principle which is very clearly explained in the Organon of Medicine.
Quote:
why he does not know about the medicine.
Do you mean: Why does Dr Khalid not know about conventional medicine (including anatomy/physiology/pathology)?

Why don't you ask Dr Khalid?

There are many courses available where you can learn homeopathy.
