- How many of you have heard of homeopathy and/or used it? But why should all of you, and really all health care providers be interested in homeopathy? Outside of the US, in Europe, where homeopathy is an integral part of everyday health care: In 1994, 40% of the French, 34% of the British used homeopathy. In Great Britain where the royal family uses homeopathy, 40% of physicians refer patients to homeopaths. 500 million use it world wide (Ridley ‘06) % of US medical schools teaching it: 11% in 1995 57% in 1998 (13% in required courses) Medical practitioners using it in US - 2500 (AAFP reporter ‘94)

Allergy shots. (Charles Harrison Blakley a homeopathy at London Homeopathic Hospital in the 1860s was the first to attribute hayfever to pollen allergy.) 1796-Jenner anc cowpox vaccinations. Allium cepa - When you cut an onion, it causes watery eyes and nose and sneezing, etc. So, in homeopathy we use allium cepa made from red onion to treat colds and allergies which have these symptoms. Now you notice that one remedy Allium cepa, can be used to treat two or more different diseases, a cold caused by a virus and an allergy.

- The law of similars dates back to the time of hippocrates- a Greek physician, but Samuel Hahnemann, the ‘father’ of homeopathy, was the first to develop it in a systematic and scientific way 200 yrs. ago. Hahnemann was a well known German physician who became disenchanted with the medicine of his day. So he turned to medical translation. While translating a materia medica which said that peruvian bark was useful for malaria because it was bitter and astringent , he doubted this explanation . Being an excellent chemist himself, he knew of other more bitter and astringent substances, which weren’t as helpful for malaria. So he did an experiment in which he took some of the bark himself twice daily and he found that each time he took a dose he developed sx like malaria (my feet and fingertips became cold, I grew languid and drowsy; had palpitations, anxiety, trembling, prostration, pulsation in the head). This lead him to test many other medicinal substances on himself and other healthy people and to develop the law of similars and the other basic principles of homeopathy .
