Bruce Lipton; March 4, 2019

“Scientists are professional seekers, forging the path up the ‘mountain of knowledge.’ Their search takes them into the uncharted unknowns of the universe. With each scientific discovery, humanity gains a better foothold in scaling the mountain. Ascension is paved one scientific discovery at a time. Along its path, science occasionally encounters a fork in the road. (cont.)

Lipton, 3.4.2019

Bruce Lipton (cont.)

Do they take the left turn or the right? When confronted with this dilemma, the direction chosen by science is determined by the consensus of scientists interpreting the acquired facts, as they are understood at the time.Occasionally, scientists embark in a direction that ultimately leads to an apparent dead end.

5/22/2019

When that happens, we are faced with two choices: Continue to plod forward with the hope that science will eventually discover a way around the impediment, or return to the fork and reconsider the alternate path. Unfortunately, the more science invests in a particular path, the more difficult it is for science to let go of beliefs that keep it on that path.

Bruce Lipton (cont.)As historian Arnold Toynbee suggested, the cultural-which includes the scientific-mainstream inevitably clings to fixed ideas and rigid patterns in the face of imposing challenges. And yet from among their ranks arise creative minorities that resolve the threatening challenges with more viable responses. Creative minorities are active agents that transform old, outdated philosophical ‘truths’ into new, life-sustaining cultural beliefs.”

What is Homeopathy?

In Greek, the word homoios means "similar," and "pathos" means "disease" or "suffering" = homeopathy.

The basic principle of homeopathy is called the "law of similars" = Similia Similibus

Homeopathy is its ownComplete system of Theory and practice ofmedicine.

Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, M.D. (1755 - 1843 )

(Cook, 1981)

Hahnemann Wasn’t the First A German physician, George Stahl, also

stumbled across and used homeopathic principles about a century before Hahnemann's birth.

Hahnemann was the first one that followed scientific principles and testing. (He started practicing homeopathy in 1792)

He then published his work (1796) so more physicians could learn the principles of healing he discovered.

In 1810, he wrote the “Organon of the Medical Art”, the first complete work on the subject.

(Cook, 1981)

Hahnemann almost Quit Samuel Hahnemann was a German Physician

that gave up the practice of medicine. (1789) He didn’t like the then current medical practices

of bloodletting and using mercury as he saw them as being “unknown”.

He was a linguist so found a position translating medical texts.

He still had a goal to discover “if God had not indeed given some law, whereby the diseases of mankind could not be cured.”

(Cook, 1981)

More of the Story

In 1796 Dr. Edward Jenner injected the first person with cowpox. Hahnemann had considered but rejected this idea because he didn’t feel it was safe to inject actual matter from a disease.

This was the first ‘vaccine’

(Cook, 1981)

In 1640, Spanish colonists in the Incan Empire noticed Peruvian Indians using the bark of the cinchona tree to treat malaria. This was an important discovery because Europeans entering these new areas brought new diseases like malaria back home.

It was not until 1820 that quinine was isolated and used for treatment.

Doctors Used Cinchona (Quinine) Bark as Medicine

(Cook, 1981)

October 18, 2018Roberto Cortijo

Developing a Drug Picture In the course of translating one particular text

from English to German, he described why a particular bark worked in the treatment of malaria. Hahnemann thought this treatment was preposterous, and couldn't possibly be true.

He decided to take some of the bark himself. Shortly afterwards, he came down with the symptoms of malaria. This was later called “proving” a remedy. It began a series of events that made him look at something more holistic.

(Cook, 1981)

The Law of Similars

When a healthy Hahnemann came down with the symptoms of Malaria by taking the bark that the Peruvian Indians used to treat the condition he came up with a new theory

Things that cause symptoms in someone that is healthy will cure those same symptoms in an ill person that is exhibiting those same symptoms.

(Cook,1981)

From his own observations, Hahnemann deduced that infinitesimal doses of medicinal substances were capable of curing symptoms similar to those which they could produce. He named his discovery "The Principle of Similars."

(Cook,1981)

5/22/2019

“Proving” a Remedy

He began to test other drugs, simply by taking them or asking one of his healthy students to take one and then recording, in considerable detail, the mental and physical symptoms that occurred over the next week or two.

This is called “proving” a remedy

(Cook, 1981)

The Law of Similars has been around since 400 BC when Hippocrates was alive.

Like Cures Like

(What is Homeopathy, 2017)

Dr. Doris Rapp MD

Used minute doses of chemicals/foods to reduce reactions. Not homeopathic but certainly similar.

would change things.”

Syphilis

Mercury was used as a treatment for syphilis.

Hahnemann realized that mercury caused a fever that was in many ways similar to the symptoms of early syphilis.

Syphilis was cured with the homeopathic remedy Mercury.

The Healing Art of HomepathicMedicine

“Homeopathy is an art, science, and philosophy that analyzes disturbances in the human experience from a vitalistic, integrative, and individualistic viewpoint”

(Murphy, 2000, pg.6)

Three Key Concepts

The first concept is that homeopathy stimulates the body's defense mechanisms and processes to prevent or treat illness.

In other words, your body is stimulated to heal itself

Second Concept

The second is that treatment involves giving very small doses of substances called remedies that, according to homeopathy, would produce the same or similar symptoms of illness in healthy people if they were given in larger doses.

The Law of Similars

Third Concept The third is that treatment in homeopathy

is individualized (tailored to each person).

Holistic at its core Look at the entire person:

Physical Symptoms (a bodies attempt to restore health)

Lifestyle Mental/Emotional Spiritual

2 Schools of Homeopathic Thought

Low potency using multiple doses School of Hahnemann

High potency, single dose School of Kent

(Murphy, 2000, p. 6)

Cholera 1832

During the Asiatic cholera epidemic in France, Hahnemann recommended homeopathic camphor, copper sulfate and Veratrum album (White Hellebore) successfully.Orthodox physicians called him a charlatan and a quack, as many physicians still do to this day, but many physicians adopted these remedies establishing homeopathy in Europe. (History of Homeopathy, 2019)

America

American physicians also had great success with cholera in the 1830’s.

Yellow fever, and flu were also treated with great success in the 1800’s and early 1900’s. During the 1912 flu epidemic no people died that were treated with homeopathy.

Then the American Medical Association gained leaders with political savvy

(The Founder of Homeopathy, 2019)

American Medical Association

Created in 1847 Founded 1849 Created board to “analyze quackery” Laws were created giving the AMA the

control of what medical schools taught Before this doctors used nutrition and

often made their own medicines from herbs.

Founding of the AMA, 2019,) ( History of Homeopathy, 2019

Homeopathy in America At the turn of the century there were 22

homeopathic medical schools and 100 hospitals. By 1910 only 15 schools existed and by the late

1940’s there were no more homeopathic schools The American Foundation for Homeopathy

began to teach homeopathy as a post-graduate course for doctors in 1922, and the courses, now run by the National Center for Homeopathy, have continued to this day. The present day resurgence of homeopathy, fueled in part by graduates of the NCH course, is slowly bringing homeopathy back to its place in the medical care system in our country. (History of Homeopathy 2019)

The Medicine of Royalty

The medicine of Britain’s royal family They cannot publicly hold opinions but

Prince Charles has been a strong supporter of homeopathy.

Do you remember when Princess Kate saw the Queen’s physician for hyperemesis?

Former physician to the Queen

Ipecac

If your child accidentally ingests certain poisons, you used to be advised to administer Syrup of Ipecac to induce vomiting. Ipecac is derived from the root of a South American plant called Ipecacuanha. The name, in the native language, means "the plant by the road which makes you throw up." Eating the plant causes vomiting.

When a group of healthy volunteers took this substance to determine the effects of this drug, they found that the drug induced other symptoms as well. The mouth retained much saliva. The tongue was very clean. There was a cough so severe that it led to gagging and vomiting. There was incessant nausea. While it is expected that vomiting would usually relieve the nausea, this was not the case.

5/22/2019

10

Suffering from a gagging cough after a cold, or experiencing morning sickness with incessant nausea that is not relieved by vomiting?

Ipecacuanha, administered in a homeopathic dose, especially prepared by a homeopathic pharmacy in accordance with FDA approved guidelines, will most likely stop the "similar" suffering.

Belladonna: Deadly nightshade

Herbal Belladonna acts on every part of the nervous system , including the brain, producing active congestion, furious excitement, perverted special senses, twitching, convulsions, and pain. (proving) Dryness of mouth and throat with aversion to water.

Used for “Hot and red” conditions, throbbing, burning, convulsions and hallucinations and more. (Murphy, 2000)

Belladonna Research

Japanese viral encephalitis was killing thousands of children. Started using Belladonna and cases immediately dropped considerably.

Regulation of Homeopathy

The manufacture and sale of homeopathic medicines is regulated by the Food and Drug Administration. The Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United Stateswas written into federal law in 1938 under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, making the manufacture and sale of homeopathic medicines legal in this country. Most are available without a prescription.

What should you expect when you start your remedy?

You would expect to have 1 of 3 kinds of responses when taking a remedy for an acute condition. 1) Your symptoms may immediately go

away. 2) Your symptoms may aggravate or get

worse for a short time and then go away.

3) Your symptoms may slowly disappear over time.

Second Concept

The second is that treatment involves giving very small doses of substances called remedies that, according to homeopathy, would produce the same or similar symptoms of illness in healthy people if they were given in larger doses.

5/22/2019

12

Third Concept The third is that treatment in homeopathy

is individualized (tailored to each person).

Look at the entire person: Physical Symptoms (a bodies attempt to

restore health) Lifestyle Emotional Mental states Spiritual distress

Symptomatic Prescribing

“Symptoms are a bodies attempt to restore health,” is how a homeopath thinks.

They look at the immediate presenting symptoms. The correct remedy is usually effective in controlling acute and minor illness such as an acute viral infection.

Ideally, both constitutional and symptomatic remedies should be given together to obtain the best therapeutic results.

Constitutional Prescribing Constitutional remedies are designed to

rebalance the individual's health. If someone suffers from recurrent attacks

of indigestion, a remedy based on their general demeanor and personality can be given, with the idea of controlling both the symptoms and the cause of the pathology in a long-term manner.

It is important to note that the mental symptoms are often considered to be more important then the physical.

HealthQuote: What do we know about the effectiveness

of homeopathy?“There’s little evidence to support homeopathy as an effective treatment for any specific health condition.”

Homeopathy, 2018

Homeopathic drugs generally must meet the standards for strength, quality, and purity set forth in the Homeopathic Pharmacopeia. Section 501(b) of the Act (21 U.S.C. 351) provides in relevant part:

Whenever a drug is recognized in both the United States Pharmacopeia and the Homeopathic Pharmacopeia of the United States it shall be subject to the requirements of the United States Pharmacopeia unless it is labeled and offered for sale as a homeopathic drug, in which case it shall be subject to the provisions of the Homeopathic Pharmacopeia of the United States and not to those of the United States Pharmacopeia.

A product's compliance with requirements of the HPUS, USP, or NF does not establish that it has been shown by appropriate means to be safe, effective, and not misbranded for its intended use.
