This document discusses the convergence of homeopathy and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), known as homeosiniatry. It outlines the origins of homeosiniatry from the 19th century work of homeopaths who found connections between homeopathic remedies and sensitive points on the body that align with acupuncture points. Modern practitioners like de La Fuye have developed the field by combining homeopathic remedies and acupuncture. Theories have been proposed to reconcile homeopathy and TCM frameworks, such as relating remedies to meridian theories. Recent work by Kantor has expanded the five phases model to comprehensively integrate homeopathy, TCM and biomedicine for diagnosis and treatment of chronic illness.

1. The Convergence of Homeopathy and Traditional
Chinese Medicine

2. Homeosiniatry…
 From Homeo, denoting homeopathy
 From Siniatry, denoting sinology or the
study of Chinese Culture

3. Where cohort modalities
merge:
The Big Picture
Viewpoint…

4. Operant
Principle…Irritability
 Contained within any definition of life
 Meaning when it is poked, it reacts

5. The knifepoint of convergence:
Exploitation of Irritability
 Acupuncture
A mini stabbing
 Homeopathy
A mini poisoning

6. 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

7. Homeopathy’s Founder
Samuel Hahnemann
Similia similibus
curentur

8. 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.

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

10. 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

11. 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

12. Homeosiniatry in modern times
 Dr. Roger de La Fuye
 Clark Manning and Louis Vanrenen
 Prakash Vakil
 Jerry M. Kantor

13. Dr. Roger de La Fuye
French 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).

14. Dr. Roger de La Fuye
French 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.

L’Acupuncture et De L’Homeopathie

16. When divergent explanations
converge…
A mystery to unlock

17. 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?

18. A Rich Vein to Mine…
The benefit to TCM:
Elucidation of theory
The benefit to
homeopathy:
Enrichment of materia
medica

19. 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

20. 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

21. Clark Manning and Louis Vanrenen
Authors of the 1988
book
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

22. Homeosiniatry examples from Manning
and Vanrenen
Homeopathic Remedy
 Nux Vomica
TCM Diagnosis
 Liver invading the
Stomach

23. Homeosiniatry examples from Manning
and Vanrenen
Homeopathic Remedy
 Aconite
TCM Diagnosis
 External Cold

24. Indian homeopath Prakash Vakil
Author of the 2013
book
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

25. Homeosiniatry tongue diagnosis
examples from Prakash Vakil
DARK (comp.
Discolouration, black):
 Bell., mur-ac., phos.,
 sul-ac., verat-v.
 centre: Arn., bapt.
 cough, with: Bapt.
 dark streak in centre,
typhoid tongue: Arn.,
bapt.,
 mur-ac.

27. 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

28. Features of the revamped Five
Phase theory
 Renamed “Sense
Dimensional Analysis”
 The “five emotions”
are expanded into the
vastly more
sophisticated “five
core conundrums”
 Method used,
Phenomenology
Anger
Chaos vs
Creativity
Joy
Isolation vs
Synchony
Worry
Anxiety vs
Challenge
Grief
Disorientation
vs
Centeredness
Fear
Entropy vs
Consolidaion

29. SIGHT
Chaos vs
Creativity
TOUCH
Isolation vs
Synchrony
TASTE
Anxiety vs
Challenge
SMELL
Disorientaton
vs
Centeredness
HEARING
Entropy vs
Consolidation

30. Sense Dimensional Theory’s Five
Core Conundrums
Earth Phase
Core Emotion:
Worry
Sense Dimension of
Taste
Core Conundrum:
Anxiety versus
Challenge

31. Sense Dimensional Theory’s Five
Core Conundrums
Metal Phase
Core Emotion:
Grief
Sense Dimension of
Smell
Core Conundrum:
Disorientation versus
Centeredness

32. Sense Dimensional Theory’s Five
Core Conundrums
Water Phase
Core Emotion:
Terror
Sense Dimension of
Hearing
Core Conundrum:
Entropy versus
Consolidation

33. Sense Dimensional Theory’s Five
Core Conundrums
Wood Phase
Core Emotion:
Anger
Sense Dimension of
Sight
Core Conundrum:
Chaos versus
Creativity

34. 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

35. 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

36. When all five dimensions are
disharmonized…
An efficient and
meaningful means of
modeling the two great
chronic illness
challenges of our time:
• Cancer (see ICI)
• Autism (see
forthcoming book)
Chaos
Isolation
Anxiety
Disorientation
Entropy

37. Homeosiniatry!
Putting it all together…
