Curing the problem
instead of surpressing it. Classical Homeopathy has a
very different approach than most medical care systems. Normally a
person will go to a doctor for a specific problem or symptom. They are
then given a medicine to make the problem go away. But the
symptom is there for a reason. And if that reason continues to exist
then the symptom will either return in the same form or it will appear
as a completely different set of problems, usually called a "disease."
This occurs because most remedies are used to suppress the body&s
symptoms and the core issues are never dealt with. Homeopathy, however, does
not attempt this type of suppression but instead focuses on a true
cure. Assuming the body is intelligent and produces a set of symptoms
for a reason, homeopathy chooses to strengthen the body in a very
specific manner. This strengthening then allows the body to deal with
the root of the problem and use its innate intelligence to heal itself.
Once this occurs the body no longer has a need to produce the symptoms.
In the case of HGH, a
homeopathic formula will assist the body in using its innate abilities
so that it can work itself back into the balance it once had. The body
is stimulated to operate on a very deep cellular level and use its own
intelligence to get at the root causes of what medical science is now
calling the disease of aging. Beginnings Homeopathy was founded
around 1805 in Germany by a medical doctor Samuel Hahnemann. For the
past 200 years it has been very common through all of Europe. The Latin
American countries, India and many other areas of the world have also
embraced it for at least the past century. In the States, prior to
1900 about 15% of MD´s were also homeopaths. Then with the increase of
pharmaceuticals and a strong discouragement by the AMA, homeopathy was
dropped by most physicians and became relatively unknown. However, this has changed
over the past 15 years. More and more people have been taking
responsibility for their own health through the use of vitamins and
food supplements and the exploration of alternative medicine. All of
which have helped lead to a resurgence in the use of homeopathic
medicine.

Schmidt, Two Time Olympic Medallist in The Javelin Preparation of Homeopathic Medicines
The
preparation of homeopathic medicines, although simple in method,
requires meticulous care and conscientiousness in practice, to ensure
the quality and reliability of the finished product. With
soluble plant and animal substances, the starting material is called a
mother tincture. This is a water/alcohol extract prepared either by
maceration (cold process), infusion or distillation (heated process),
using different strengths of alcohol according to the starting
substance. Insoluble metals and minerals begin as finely ground
powders. These substances become homeopathic remedies
when they are "potentised" and thus become potencies.
The
liquid homeopathic potencies are prepared by successive dilutions in
alcohol and water. There are two methods of dilution (what is dilution?),
decimal and centesimal, governed by dilution ratios of l:10 (denoted X
or D), and l:100 (sometimes denoted C) respectively. The number of such
dilutions denotes the potency. For example
to prepare Arnica 6 (or 6C): One part of
Arnica mother tincture is added to ninety nine parts of alcohol/water
and "succussed" - shaken vigorously. The result
is Arnica 1C. One part of Arnica 1C is then added to ninety nine parts
diluent and succussed, to give Arnica 2C. The same procedure is used to
produce higher potencies. For the decimal (X or D) potencies one part
of mother tincture is added to nine parts of diluent, and the dilutions
continue 1:10. Liquid potencies can be used to medicate many
pharmaceutical forms: tablets, pills, granules, ointments,
suppositories and liquids. Insoluble
mineral and metal substances are prepared by "trituration". This is a
process whereby one part of the solid substance is finely divided in a
mortar and triturated thoroughly with either nine or ninety nine parts
of pure lactose as the diluent. Mineral and metal substances are
available in powder form only up to 5X potency. From 6X onwards they
become soluble and can thus be used to medicate any pharmaceutical form.
