Homeopathy - What is it? Part 1 (Teacher: Michael)
The word Homeopathy is derived from two Greek words meaning similar suffering and refers to
Select
The
a
an
the
method of medical treatment based on
Select
The
a
an
the
fundamental law which has been proved by experiment time and time again.
What is this law? It can be summed up in
Select
The
a
an
the
expression "Similia similibus curentur"-"Likes may be cured by likes". If
Select
The
a
an
the
substance such as arsenic be given in
Select
The
a
an
the
large dose to
Select
The
a
an
the
healthy person, it will produce certain symptoms such as bad stomach ache, vomiting and diarrhoea. This medicine can then be given to treat sick people who have such symptoms, such as those suffering from food poisoning. It is well known that X-rays and radium have produced cancer, and yet they are used more or less effectively in
Select
The
a
an
the
treatment of this disease. This similarity of symptoms, not
Select
The
a
an
the
smallness of
Select
The
a
an
the
dose, as is popularly thought, is
Select
The
a
an
the
basis of Homeopathy. It is true that most often
Select
The
a
an
the
homeopathic physician does use infinitely small doses because, generally speaking, these work more effectively: but quite largish doses may be used homeopathically.
The minute dose prescribed by
Select
The
a
an
the
homeopathic physician, is not merely
Select
The
a
an
the
dilution, or thinning out, of
Select
The
a
an
the
strong drug: it is what is called
Select
The
a
an
the
potency, that is something possessing power.
Select
The
a
an
the
special method by which these doses are prepared liberates
Select
The
a
an
the
therapeutic power, latent but not available in
Select
The
a
an
the
crude substance. Thus, if
Select
The
a
an
the
person is given
Select
The
a
an
the
quantity of plain mercury or quicksilver, it will merely pass through
Select
The
a
an
the
stomach and bowel and be voided without having any effect. But if
Select
The
a
an
the
mercury has previously been very finely divided by grinding strongly and for
Select
The
a
an
the
long time with some chalk, thus producing what is known as grey powder it will then act as
Select
The
a
an
the
aperient when taken.
