Homeopathy

The system of medicine known as Homeopathy was founded by Dr Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843), although the premise on which it is based was understood in principle by the ancient Greeks. Dr Hahnemann became disillusioned with the ineffective and often brutal medical treatments of his day and gave up his medical practice, earning a living instead by translating medical texts while studying chemistry. 

In one such text he came across some information whose truth he doubted, namely that quinine was beneficial in the treatment of malaria by virtue of acting upon the stomach as a tonic. He decided to take small doses of quinine to see what effect it would have on him, and in a few days he began to experience symptoms of malaria. The idea dawned on him that a substance that could produce the symptoms of an illness in a healthy person could also be used to treat an illness with the same characteristics. 

He returned to medical practice and devoted the rest of his life to formulating the theory and implementation of what was to become Homeopathy. Not only did he oversee the testing of many substances to be used medicinally, he also devised a novel way of preparing those substances so that minute quantities had curative properties without unpleasant side-effects. These remedies and many more added over the intervening years are employed today as they were 200 years ago, and with the same beneficial results.

The homoeopathic practitioner seeks, through careful history-taking, to match the total symptom complex of the sick person with a remedy which induces these same symptoms in a healthy individual. Suitable remedies help ailing systems to move towards a new level of energetic organization and function, aiding in the return to health.

Homeotoxicology

Hans-Heinrich Reckeweg (1905-1985) began developing the scientific concept of Homotoxicology in 1948.

Based upon the premise that illness is the body’s defense mechanism attempting to deal with the adverse effects of homotoxins which are defined as harmful influences of a physical, chemical, biological, energetic or psychological nature.

Emphasis is placed on the importance of maintaining or restoring regulatory balance in the extracellular matrix because the functions of cells depend to a great extent on its composition and effective functionality. Any influences that reach the cells must pass through this extracellular matrix which always responds holistically, as an anatomical and functional unity.

Homotoxicology combines elements of Homeopathy, naturopathy and conventional medicine, its therapeutic objectives are:-

Homotoxicology is a sophisticated modern form of Homeopathy and is the most prescribed form of natural medicine in Germany, where it has been used for over 50 years and is practiced by conventional doctors and natural therapists alike.  In fact 80% of orthodox doctors in Germany prescribe homeopathic or antihomotoxic preparations for their patients.  The efficacy and safety of Homotoxicology is supported by close on 100 clinical trials.

In Homotoxicology, diseases are considered to be ultimately caused by toxins, whether toxic chemicals, bacterial exotoxins, biological endotoxins, post traumatic cellular debris and also by-products of the body’s metabolic processes.  Furthermore, disease symptoms are said to be the result of the body’s attempt to heal itself and should not necessarily be suppressed.

Antihomotoxic preparations act against symptoms and also stimulate the detoxifying functions of the Lymphatic system and the connective tissues.  A great number of health problems respond well to antihomotoxic therapy.  The phase of the patients symptoms or disease determines which particular antihomotoxic preparation a health practitioner will use.

Antihomotoxic medicines are specialist preparations that are available only from health professionals and pharmacies with experience in Homotoxicology.  This ensures that patients receive the maximum health benefits offered by this system of natural medicine.
