Choosing Homeopathy for your Health
Homeopathy is the world’s second most widely-used medicine for a reason – it works! From the case notes of pioneering homeopaths in the 18th and 19th centuries to contemporary websites such as findahomeopath.org., examples of successfully treated cases abound. This practical success continues to drive its global growth.
For those of you who want more scientific proof, click through to the Homeopathy Research Institute. Highlights include a meta-analysis of individualised treatment. Compared to a placebo, this showed a 1.5 to 2 times greater chance of benefit. Other experiments show observable effects of the micro-dilutions used in homeopathy. Here is Dr Steven Cartwright talking about that very subject.
As well as its effectiveness, homeopathy has the great appeal of being safe and natural. Plants, minerals and animals are the source of its medicines (called remedies). They are highly diluted, making them non-toxic and non-addictive with little to no side effects.
With all these positives, it is not surprising there are an estimated 200 million users of homeopathy worldwide. Famous people use homeopathy too, and while I wouldn’t trust everything a celebrity says, here are some of the best quotes out there.
Mark Twain
"The introduction of homeopathy forced the old school doctor to stir around and learn something of a rational nature about his business. You may honestly feel grateful that homeopathy survived the attempts of the allopaths to destroy it."
Tina Turner
“Life in the fast lane wore me down, changes in my diet and homeopathy saved me. Thanks to my Homeopathic physician, for bringing me back to health and always being available for me”
The Queen
The British Royal family has used homeopathy for three generations, with King Charles currently a patron of the Faculty of Homeopathy. The late Queen is said to have preferred homeopathy over conventional medicine, never travelling without her personal homeopathic first aid kit.
Paul McCartney
“I can't manage without homeopathy. In fact, I never go anywhere without homeopathic remedies. I often make use of them.”
Mahatma Gandhi
“Homeopathy…cures a larger percentage of cases than any other method…and is beyond doubt safer, more economical and the most complete medical science”
Stacey Dooley
“I first discovered homeopathy when a friend suggested trying it to overcome my phobia of flying and I haven’t looked back since – it really has worked!”
About me
I began to question the wisdom of orthodox approaches to health in my teens/early twenties. Too many people seemed stuck on medication. Where was the healing? Extensive overseas travel exposed me to new ideas on health and well-being and how to treat disease. With my interest sparked, I returned to the UK and began to study and try out numerous alternative therapies.
Inspired by homeopathy’s successful case studies and its status as one of the great holistic medical systems, I began a 4-year course at the British School of Homeopathy and qualified to practice in 2008. I have since studied on a 2-year programme with the Greek master homeopath, George Vithoulkas. I continue to be fascinated by people and their problems and the potential of the healing remedy.
