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.

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.
