HOMEOSINIATRYThe Convergence of Homeopathy and Traditional

Chinese Medicine

Page 2: Homeosiniatry presentation by Jerry Kantor

Homeosiniatry…

From Homeo, denoting homeopathy

From Siniatry, denoting sinology or the study of Chinese Culture

Page 3: Homeosiniatry presentation by Jerry Kantor

Where cohort modalities merge:

The Big Picture Viewpoint…

Page 4: Homeosiniatry presentation by Jerry Kantor

Operant Principle…Irritability

Contained within any definition of life

Meaning when it is poked, it reacts

Page 5: Homeosiniatry presentation by Jerry Kantor

The knifepoint of convergence: Exploitation of Irritability

AcupunctureA mini stabbing

Homeopathy A mini poisoning

Homeosiniatry’s Origins The writings of homeopathy’s founder,

Samuel Hahnemann (1756-1843)

The writings of Gottfried Rademacher (1772-1850)

In the 19th century, the work of three generations of the Weihe family, German physicians and homeopaths

Page 7: Homeosiniatry presentation by Jerry Kantor

Homeopathy’s FounderSamuel Hahnemann

Similia similibus curentur

Page 8: Homeosiniatry presentation by Jerry Kantor

From Samuel Hahnemann ”… that if the remedy is chosen well, it

touches all the ill points (‘kranken Punkte’) in a curative way and they will disappear in a wonderful way.”

Hahnemann chose not to include pin-point digital palpation (so as to find the sensitive points) as part of the homeopathic diagnostic process.

Page 9: Homeosiniatry presentation by Jerry Kantor

Gottfried Rademacher

A German physician and homeopathic contemporary of Hahnemann who did choose to explore diagnosis according to pressure point sensitivity

Page 10: Homeosiniatry presentation by Jerry Kantor

Dr. Auguste Weihe (1840-1896) In support of Hahnemann the 3rd Weihe

generation physician, concluded that:

Whenever a particular homeopathic drug picture is indicated, certain points on the surface of the patient’s body become especially sensitive to digital pressure. When the individual’s appropriate remedy is administered these points lose their sensitivity

Page 11: Homeosiniatry presentation by Jerry Kantor

Dr. Weihe identified: …270 points

assignable to specific homeopathic symptom complexes. But he used them only in order to objectively verify his homeopathic remedy selection

Dr. Roger de La FuyeFrench acupuncturist and homeopath…

Discovered by 1947 that most of Weihe’s points coincided exactly with acu-points

Found that the associated homeopathic and acupuncture symptomatology of the points matched

Was the first doctor to treat his patients with parallel therapy, using needle acupuncture and corresponding homeopathic remedies (given orally).

Page 14: Homeosiniatry presentation by Jerry Kantor

Dr. Roger de La FuyeFrench acupuncturist and homeopath…

Showed that the combination was at least equal if not superior to therapy with each modality applied separately

Continued adding to Weihe’s points so that homeosiniatry now uses 482 points, 434 on Chinese meridians and 48 extra points. A current widespread practice of homeosiniatry is to inject sterile homeopathic remedies (diluted and potentized in 0.9% saline) into acu-points.

When divergent explanations converge…

A mystery to unlock

Page 17: Homeosiniatry presentation by Jerry Kantor

The challenge to theoreticians…

The action of an acupuncture point reflects Zang-Fu, Channels and Collaterals theory

A homeopathic remedy reflects the original substance’s position within culture, medicine, or the cosmos

On what basis might the two forms of reference be reconciled?

Page 18: Homeosiniatry presentation by Jerry Kantor

A Rich Vein to Mine…

The benefit to TCM:

Elucidation of theory

The benefit to homeopathy:

Enrichment of materiamedica

A case in point, Berberis (barberry)Acupuncture point

sensitivities

Tianshu, St. 25, Alarm Point of the LI

Jingmen, GB 25, Alarm Point of the Kd

Berberis’ key indicators

Abdominal swelling and rumbling gas in the colon

Kidney and gall stones

Ailments from hidden wounds

Diminished libido

Page 20: Homeosiniatry presentation by Jerry Kantor

Berberis’ Cohort Benefits:

For TCM:

Elucidates how a plant, barberry, and its embedded theme, “hidden psychic wounds” relates to alarm within the LI and the Kidney

For Homeopathy:

Enriches materia medica by relating the remedy-state’s pathology to TCM’s Kidney sexual function and associated fear; and Stomach/Sp associated anxiety

Page 21: Homeosiniatry presentation by Jerry Kantor

Clark Manning and Louis VanrenenAuthors of the 1988book

Bioenergetic Medicines East and West, Acupuncture and Homeopathy

Introduced TCM and homeopathic healing philosophies to the general public

Discussed how the materia medica of basic remedies were a fit with specific TCM diagnoses

The Tongue That Does Not Lie

Recognizes TCM’s notion that the tongue mirrors the stomach, but also the condition of the patient as a whole

Correlates the tongue’s features with homeopathic remedies

Interpreting Chronic Illness’ contribution to homeosiniatry

Reconfigures and updated the Five Phases so that its theory functions as a template upon which homeopathic materia medica can be superimposed

Page 28: Homeosiniatry presentation by Jerry Kantor

Features of the revamped Five Phase theory

Renamed “Sense Dimensional Analysis”

The “five emotions” are expanded into the vastly more sophisticated “five core conundrums”

Explanatory power of Homeosiniatric Five Phases theory Incorporates Eight Principle concepts

formerly beyond the scope of the Five Phases

Blends homeopathy’s specificity and concreteness into TCM’s abstract schema.

Models with sophistication biomedical diagnoses of chronic illness states so they become existentially meaningful as opposed to random and frightening

Offers the first comprehensively integrated diagnostic and treatment model of three powerful medical systems

Sight

Touch

Taste

Smell

Hearing

Page 35: Homeosiniatry presentation by Jerry Kantor

The Homeosiniatric Five Phases theory also… Allows for creative modeling of the

known Generating, Control, and Retrograde cycles plus a new cycle describing a Compensation dynamic

Creates predictive scenarios such as disorder of smell presaging the onset of Alzheimers

Makes sense of what are otherwise inexplicable pathologies such as the frameshift mutation’s affinity for breast and colon cancer

Updates and reinvigorates the Five Phases so that they become relevant to biomedicine

Page 36: Homeosiniatry presentation by Jerry Kantor

When all five dimensions are disharmonized…

An efficient andmeaningful means ofmodeling the two greatchronic illnesschallenges of our time:
