Homeopathy: There are some differences between conventional medical science, i.e. Allopathy and Homeopathy. At the outset, while common causes of disease – bacteria, viruses, microbes, and poisons (external causes) are considered the leading fundamental cause of any disease in Allopathy, Homeopathy recognizes “Predisposition” in specific individuals without which these microbes cannot become activated. Most of them remain in our bodies, but they need particular environment to become activated to harm us. When activated, our body’s immune system fights back with them and tries either to remove them from the body or to make them inactive again. The immune system represents its efforts by way of some symptoms. In the Allopathic approach, we try to threaten these microbes with Antibiotics, which suppress the disease. Suppression results in its reappearance in its crude form. That is why in the allopathic system when the disease of “n” number of persons due to infection of a particular kind of bacteria or virus shall be treated with the same medicine “Same Antibiotic,” in Homeopathic system treatment of the same infection, the same disease in “n” number of different organism shall be treated with different medicines depending upon symptoms – the immune system may represent to fight back with the disease—for example, time of aggravation or amelioration of the problems, nature of thirst, and nature of pain, among others. Also, in the allopathic approach, while we consider physical issues only, in the homeopathic approach, the doctor considers the mental, emotional, and physical symptoms.
Another significant difference is in the usage of drugs. While in Allopathic medication, drugs are in material forms and doses, in the Homeopathic approach, drugs are in diluted forms, amounting to the ultra–molecular range. The process of such dilution is known as succussion or trituration, which is repeated at each dilution stage. Thus, the medicine administered in the human body is not in any physical form but in its ultra microform with the hidden strength or energy of the crud drug. Our nervous system directly absorbs it, bypassing the stomach, liver, and kidney routes. Because of this process homeopathic medicines are faster in their action and can be safely administered even in diseases where doctors cannot administer allopathic drugs–for example, liver problems, spleen problems, smallpox, chicken pox, etc. This is also why, unlike allopathic medicines, homeopathic medicines are neither swallowed nor chewed but are placed on the tongue and allowed to dissolve. Patients take homeopathic medicines in potentized form only. In this process, molecules of the substance are broken to their minutest micro level, which increases their effectiveness, and all malefic properties of the substance are washed out or removed. This difference in the mode of medication is so significant that many substances intake, which even in the most minor form will cause loss of life, do form many necessary medicines in Homeopathy, e.g., Potassium cyanide. It is based on the law known as “The Arnold Schultz Law,” which expresses and highlights the differences between conventional and homeopathic approaches, stating that – “large doses of a poisonous substance may prove lethal, smaller doses of the same poison can actually stimulate vital cellular activity.”
Homeopathic medicines work by stimulating the immune system, setting the system right, and thereby providing a cure. Thus, in many cases where in the Allopathic system of medication, an individual must take medicines lifelong to keep the problems under control; in the homeopathic system of medication, after a few months of medication, the human system starts working normally, and the body functions normally even after medication is withdrawn. Diabetes, hypo- or hyper–thyroid, high blood pressure, and diseases of the heart are a few examples of this type, which are never cured by allopathic medication, and the patient must take medicines throughout his life. Meanwhile, in the homeopathic mode of treatment, with a few months of medication, the primary causative factor is removed, the responsible organs start working normally, and then after the medication is stopped, it is no longer required. Thus, after a few months of treatment, the production and function of Insulin becomes normal in a diabetic patient, the production of thyroxin becomes normal in patients with thyroid, and so on.
