What is Homeopathy?
By Dr. Narinder Saini M.D.
Homeopathy is a system of medicine that is
based on the Law of Similars. The idea is to stimulate the body to recover itself
by giving patients miniscule doses of something that cause symptoms similar to
those they are already experiencing.
The theory behind this is that the
minute dose will stimulate the body's own healing powers without side effects.
The remedies usually come in doses that have been diluted many times over, and
many conventional doctors believe the dilution of the remedies is so great that
they can't have any effect.
However, as the above study shows, it appears
that solutions that have been extremely diluted still retain patterns of hydrogen
bonds. This finding is in-line with a previous study that found that water is
capable of carrying molecular information or biological messages. This "imprinting"
is activated when a substance is dissolved in water and then diluted repeatedly
until not a single molecule of the substance could remain.
The current
study, as well as the previous findings, offers much encouragement for homeopaths
and will likely help to bring more concrete credibility to their often beneficial
treatments. Homeopaths wisely look at symptoms as the body’s attempt to heal itself
and consider the whole individual when looking for treatments, rather than focusing
on “curing” a particular disease without regard to the rest of the person. |
