"In order to cure radically certain chronical affections, one must look for remedies that naturally provoke, in the human organism, an analogous disease, as similar as possible."
Homeopathy constitutes a therapeutical method based in the application of a law known as the LAW OF SIMILARS OR SIMILARITY PRINCIPLE.
This law was first stated by Samuel Hahnemann in 1796 in his ESSAY ON A NEW PRINCIPLE FOR ASCERTAINING THE CURATIVE POWERS OF DRUGS, WITH A FEW GLANCES AT THOSE HITHERTO EMPLOYED:
Translated into the level of pharmacodynamics, the Similarity Principle is transformed into the following statement:
"Any product that, administered to a healthy individual at elevated dose levels, provokes certain disorders, can, in low infinitesimal dose levels, heal the same disorders in an ill individual."
This Similarity Principle was already stated by Hipocrates, "SIMILIA SIMILIBUS CURANTUR":similars are cured by similars.
The practice of Homeopathy is based in the search for the ANALOGY BETWEEN THE SET OF SYMPTOMS A PATIENT PRESENTS AND THE WHOLE SET OF SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS APPEARING AFTER THE EXPERIMENTAL ADMNINISTRATION OF A SUBSTANCE TO A HEALTHY MAN IN MEASURABLE DOSE LEVELS.
The practice of Homeopathy means, therefore:
A) AN EXPERIMENTATION,fulfilled through the administration of different substances to a helathy man. In this sense, it may be affirmed that HOMEOPATHY IS AN EXPERIMENTAL METHOD.
The whole set of signs that appear after this experimentation, performed in subtoxical dose levels, is named PATHOGENESIS.The grouping of pathogenesis figures in the books about HOMEOPATHIC MEDICAL MATTERS.
Certain pathogenesis are referred to toxicity-free substances _calcium carbonate, sea salt, silica_. These allow us to establish the notion of particular sensitivity in certain individuals.
B) THE USE OF MEDICINS IN LOW DOSE LEVELS,even very low infinitesimal levels, going usually beyond the number of Avogadro Ampére.
C) INDIVIDUALIZATION OF THE THERAPY,according to the individual response of every person. Thus, for the same disease, suffered by different persons, the remedy may be different.
Homeopathy tries to TRIGGER A GLOBAL HEALING REACTION,what means that the organism may react and reacts in a global way.
In the same way as every therapeutic system, homeopathy has its possibilities and its limitations. The duty of every therapist is to help the healing of the illnesses in the best conditions, in the shortest time, making use of all available tools in his hands with the smallest harm.
The doctor who starts out in these practices should not doubt in applying a classical therapy as long as the seriousness of the case justifies it. This does not mean that Homeopathy is only resticted to benign cases, of minor importance, because there are remedies that make the organism react positively in acute cases, even with a strong and intensive symptomatology. To do this, an expert control of the method is required.
The substance whose set of pathogenetic signs coincides with the whole of symptoms patent in the patient is called SIMILIMUM. It is difficult to discover the "similimum" of each individual, but thus happening, this medicine is prescribed as the only homeopathic remedy, usually in high dilution or in ballanced dilutions and in the fashion of single dose.
This is the way of proceeding of the so-called Unicist schools. As it is difficult to find this perfect simile, in general it is compulsory to appeal to the combination of two or more remedies in order to cover the whole set of symptoms the patient presents.
ADVISABLE RULES
In case of using two formulae at the same time, alternate their use with a time gap of, at least, half an hour.
In acute cases, apart from following the attached instructions with each medicine, when symptoms have disappeared, is advisable to keep on having the medicine for three or four days more.
It is important to know that, if the treatment is taken for prolonged use, accumulative effects in the organism are not produced.
We recommend following a healthy diet, free from pork and its derivatives, refined products such as flour, white sugar, etc. And a moderate consumption, much better if no consumption at all, of tobacco, coffee, alcohol, tea, mint, chocolate. If it is not possible to give up completely smoking, at least do not smoke in the hour previous to the administration of the medicine.
