Overview of Homeopathy
By Dr. David Wember
Homeopathy is a popular system of medicine practiced worldwide. It uses safe, non-toxic natural medicines which gently stimulate each persons own healing response. Taking into account the mental, emotional and physical symptoms as a unique signature of the patient, the correct homeopathic medicine starts the process of restoring the patient to optimal health.
Hippocrates, himself, the father of medicine, talked about the Homeopathic healing principles. Great physicians of the middle ages like Galen and Paracelsus also wrote about the healing principles of homeopathy. It took the great German physician, Samuel Hahnemann, in the early 19th century, to expound on the principles of Homeopathic healing. Since then, Homeopathy has flourished around the world. The United States became the mecca of Homeopathy. Physicians came from the world over to study with the great American Homeopaths. In fact, in the early 1900's, it is estimated that one sixth of all Physicians in the United States practiced Homeopathy. The advent of modern pharmaceutical medicines from about the 1920's onward, like Penicillin and other "wonder drugs", saw the decline of Homeopathy. These drugs can save lives, but it eventually became evident that chronic disease was more prevalent. People lived longer, but chronic issues were impeding the quality of life. This led to a revival of Homeopathy, a natural, non-toxic healing system which stimulates each persons own innate immune system to create a healthier person. Homeopathy has doubled or tripled in the past twenty five years. There are now teaching centers around the world and the new Homeopathic teachers are beginning to equal the great master Homeopathic prescribers of the past.
