Homeopathy
A philosophy of health and a formal system of natural therapy that traces its
origins to the work of Dr. Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843) in Germany. Hahnemann
called the orthodox medicine of his day "allopathy" from the Greek
words allos (different) and pathein (disease, suffering).
To counter this form of treating disease, he named his system "Homeopathy",
from the Greek homion (similar) and pathein (disease, suffering). The
cornerstone of Hahnemann's homeopathic doctrine is the ancient natural "Law
of Similars"— like cures like. Upon this principle Hahnemann built
his systematic methodology, which he later defined by the Latin phrase similia
similibus curentur ("let like be treated by likes"). According
to Hahnemann, the proper remedy for an illness is that substance, which in a
healthy person, would produce the same set of symptoms exhibited by the sick
person. Although the Law of Similars predates Hahnemann by many centuries, he
was the first to utilize it for the therapeutic purposes.
Homeopathy, like all natural therapies, sees symptoms as the body's natural
response to fighting illness. Consequently, symptoms are utilized as a source
of information to guide the selection of the most appropriate homeopathic remedy
for a persons specific ailments. In contrast, conventional allopathic medicine
perceives symptoms to be the result of illness, and generally precedes on the
principle that disease, or a symptom of disease, is cured by using a medicine
that opposes the symptoms— sometimes by direct suppression and sometimes
by an indirect route that leads to their removal.
Homeopathic treatment, like all truly natural therapies, seeks to mobilize the innate healing powers of the individual so that all physiological systems function at their best, and the body's innate curative powers are put to full use. All symptoms would be taken into account to find the substance that would produce the most similar symptom picture. That substance, administered in homeopathic dilution, would then stimulate the body to eliminate the underlying cause of the toxic response. Homeopathic remedies never cover up or suppress symptoms, and they have NO TOXIC SIDE EFFECTS like allopathic drugs. There are thousands of homeopathic remedies in use today, mostly derived from natural sources, but any substance can be made into a homeopathic remedy.
Homeopathy came to America in the 1830's. The American Institute of Homeopathy
was established in 1844, and by 1910 there were 22 homeopathic medical schools,
100 homeopathic hospitals, 1000 homeopathic pharmacies and 14,000 homeopathic
physicians. In fact, the FDA was originally set up to protect the American Homeopathic
industry! Unfortunately, the growing antagonism of the A.M.A., using all manner
of means, fair and foul, forced Homeopathy into a rapid decline in the early
20th century. By the 1920's, Homeopathy had been largely replaced by allopathic
drug based medicine in the U.S. However, Homeopathy continued to grow and flourish
worldwide. In Germany, physicians developed advanced techniques in homotoxicology
and in immunotoxicology, using homeopathic formulas. Homotoxicology— primarily
through the use of Homeopathy— helps the body to eliminate the toxic response
to antibiotics, x-rays, metal poisoning and mycotoxins that create stress and
illness within the body.
Homeopathy does have limitations, but with a good nutritional program, a protocol
that addresses the pH balance of the body, and good rest and exercise, the body
has a tremendous capacity to heal itself. Diet, lifestyle, stress factors and
emotions all combine to create a bio-landscape of good health, energy, and general
wellbeing.
Herbal Therapy
Modern medicine is just now on the verge of discovering a unified field that
is the deepest level of nature. Ancient cultures have been aware of this dynamic
field for thousands of years. It is considered to be an unexpressed wellspring
of intelligence within nature that nourishes and fortifies the infinite diversity
expressed in life.
The life cycle of every plant is governed by these fundamental forces of nature, which have been identified by ancient systems of medicine as earth, air, fire, and water. These building blocks of nature have been recognized respectively by modern chemistry as carbon, oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen.
When the human physiology metabolizes a plant remedy, it actually metabolizes the organizing power of nature which the plant has transmuted into material form. In this simple way, the human physiology responds to and is governed by the physiology of nature, resulting in the harmonizing of the body and mind of human life with the "body" and "mind" of nature. The specific value of intelligence and order that is expressed in the cells of the plant is metabolized and expressed into the cells of the physiology.
The metabolism of natures intelligence by human physiology takes place on the level of the neuroreceptors, which serve as a link between the body and the environment. The human body has a multitude of neuroreceptors that respond to complementary biological substances found in nature. Medicinal plants are capable of targeting specific receptors within the body. In this way, the health and balance of the body is restored by the chemistry and organizing power of the plant.
In today's allopathic drug medicine, most remedies are synthetic preparations devoid of any life-promoting vital energies. Thus we have witnessed the side effects which common crude drugs have on the human physiology. These same side effects are recognized by scientific researchers, physicians and natural healers as actual drug poisonings.
Traditional herbal medicine has revealed a deep wisdom that modern medicine is just beginning to appreciate. In today's herbal pharmaceutical practices it is well known that every plant requires specific extraction methods to yield the strongest and most vital remedies. The art of preparing a plant remedy lies in knowing about and working with the "mind", "body" and "soul" of the plant to bring forth its healing virtues.
Common drugs and standardized herbal remedies that utilize only limited constituents of a plant do not have the holistic effect within the body that whole plant extracts do. Common drugs provide a chemical similar to an active constituent. Both can have strong effects but always at the expense of the whole. Proper use of herbal therapy is life changing. Their effects help to heal and restore the mind, body and soul.

Chelation
Magnesium Di-Potassium EDTA suppositories are an alternative to traditional
interavenous (IV) Chelation therapy. Chelation has been shown through clinic
tests to lower the levels of various toxic substances in the body, including
toxic metals. Other studies have been show that Chelation helps removing excess
calcium from soft tissue, improving blood circulation, and other beneficial
effects.
We are continuously exposed to toxic metals in our environment. These are metals
that, when present in the body, can have negative impact on its ability to function,
and even slowly poison your body, such as lead, mercury, aluminium, and other
metals. Some of these are "heavy metals", such as lead, having a high
specific gravity when compared to water, while others are light metals, such
as aluminum. Some metals are beneficial when present in small amounts, but research
far and wide has found that we are exposed to far too much metal containments
in our modern daily lives. Leaving such contamination in your body poses health
risks, both short and long term.
We offer treatment using Magnesium Di-Potassium EDTA suppositories for Chelation,
supplied by Medicardium,
a respected leader in non-IV Chelation technologies. Find out how this theapy
may help improve your health, and call today for an appointment at 704.799.0939.
