Clair: A classical homeopathy doesn't generally lend itself to putting homeopathy with herbal medicine. On the other hand, some of the more contemporary homeopaths are now saying that they certainly can be blended and blended effectively. The beauty of homeopathy, of course, is that there are really no negatives to it as far as side effects. We've found that it has proven to be a positive and has made some of our formulas work much more quickly and more deeply than they normally would. So it is uncommon, but it does work really well for our products. |
| We found a homeopathic medicine generally works much quicker than that, so we've now started blending homeopathy with Chinese medicine, both of which work with the body's own energy. We find that it's a really happy marriage between those two, and so many of our formulas now take into account both of those types of formulations. We find that that's been a very effective approach for us to take.
Mike: That's a unique synergy. I don't think I've seen other companies use that combination.

Today, an estimated 500 million people worldwide receive homeopathic treatment. homeopathy is now practiced according to two differing concepts: classical and complex. In classical homeopathy, only one single-component remedy is prescribed at a time, in a potency specifically adjusted to the patient; the physician waits to see the results before prescribing anything further. In complex homeopathy, a prescription involves multiple substances given at the same time, usually in low potencies. |

Mike: A lot of people are used to seeing Western herbs in this kind of packaging or going to a health food store and finding Western herbs, but even though traditional Chinese herbs are more common now, people still tend to associate them with Chinese herbal medicine shops. |
| Our best-selling formulas are now a combination of traditional Chinese herbs as well as homeopathy, which allows for faster- acting results for people. One of our best selling products is Clear Lungs, which is the number one selling lung congestion formula in the marketplace right now. We have several other formulas that do really well, like formulas for blood sugar balance, hypoglycemia, diabetes, blood pressure, Sinus Clear, Asthma Clear and so on.
Mike: You have a blood sugar balance formula, and the ingredients are three or four medicinal Chinese herbs, right?

Another great book on the subject of homeopathy, by the way, is, "The Memory of Water: homeopathy and the Battle of Ideas in the New Science" by Michel Schiff. It describes how conventional medicine has pulled out all the stops to discredit homeopathy through deceit and distortion rather than facing up to the hard science that quite solidly proves homeopathy to be a real phenomenon. |

Since then homeopathic practitioners have been successfully healing the sick with little alteration from Dr Hahnemann's original principles. homeopathy, a safe, scientific and logical method for the treatment of sickness, has stood the test of time.
Homeopathy is believed to work because the remedies stimulate the immune system to fight the particular symptom pattern. It therefore helps the body heal itself. The remedies are given in very diluted forms, at such low concentrations that there is sometimes hardly a trace of the substance the remedy was originally made from. |

What is interesting about his work is that he has taken computerized electronic analysis technology, like the "Interro" and the "Quantum Xrroid" systems, and married them to homeopathy. This involves studies in quantum physics and advanced computer programming that lead to a "complete unconscious interface with the right hemisphere of the client's brain."6 Working through the modality of homeopathy, he is able to assist the body to deal with issues on the physical, mental, and emotional levels. The goal is to help the brain stimulate its own acupuncture points without needles or probes. |

The Lancet study does not prove that homeopathy is never effective or that all its accomplishments are rooted in the placebo effect, but it does raise major questions about the plausibility of homeopathy as a mainstream treatment.

| Homeopathy
The premise of homeopathy is that minute amounts of active natural compounds, often the sources of synthetic medications produced by pharmaceutical companies, can be diluted into water to treat various problems. Homeopaths argue that the water retains the memory of the herb or mineral's vital essence, hence the healing power of the solution. Many critics express disbelief on the grounds that such diluted medicines could never have profound physiological effects, and that any positive outcome is surely due to the placebo effect. |

In the last decade, however, homeopathy has made a comeback, especially among naturopathic physicians. It continues to gain more recognition because of its non-invasive nature and because the dosages used are very dilute and non-stressful to the body, and quite simply, because it works!

The pharmaceutical industry and the American Medical Association squeezed homeopathy out of the health practice picture in the early 1900s by discrediting it and providing financial support to only those medical colleges that offered instruction based on pharmaceuticals. In the last decade, however, homeopathy has made a comeback, especially among naturopathic physicians. It continues to gain more recognition because of its non-invasive nature and because the dosages used are very dilute and non-stressful to the body, and quite simply, because it works!

In more recent years it has regained favour, partly because of the known support of homeopathy by the British Royal Family. homeopathy was the medicine of the past and its adherents believe it will become the medicine of the future. The ever-increasing sales of homeopathic remedies through pharmacies are evidence that its popularity is growing strongly at present.

In homeopathy, oregano is used to increase sexual excitability. It's also really, really good on pizza.
Parsley
If you've ever chewed on a sprig of parsley after a meal (and before kissing your date), you've experienced its ability to freshen the breath firsthand. What you might not know is that it has the same ability to "freshen" the whole system.
Parsley is known primarily for its detoxification (and deodorizing) properties. It's the world's most popular herb. The Greeks wore parsley crowns at their banquets to stimulate their appetite. |

Dr. Kruzel also prescribed phosphatidylserine, a phospholipid that is often successful in inducing sleep (500 mg twice a day), and pituitary glandular supplements (two tablets twice a day with meals, for the first month only). Based on Dolores's blood type, Dr. Kruzel also recommended a vegetarian diet. Although Dolores's diet wasn't particularly an issue, he recommends that all of his patients eat according to their blood type system. |
| In complex homeopathy, a prescription involves multiple substances given at the same time, usually in low potencies.
Since there are more than 3,000 homeopathic remedies, derived from everything from plants to minerals to animals, choosing the right remedy can be a challenge. The key is uncovering the pattern of behavior or feelings that accompany the insomnia. In the short-term, some basic remedies can be helpful for occasional insomnia. |
| In classical homeopathy, symptoms or disturbances clear up in the reverse order that they occurred, usually beginning with the symptom that caused the patient to seek treatment, such as insomnia. As the more recent symptoms are resolved, new layers of underlying symptoms often present themselves for healing and the practitioner will adjust the remedy accordingly. The underlying layers are often residues of fevers, trauma, or chronic disease that were unsuccessfully treated or suppressed by conventional medicine.
Homeopathic remedies for sleep vary depending on symptoms. |
| Other cultures recognize that there is a kind of energy that animates us," says Kristy Fassler, ND, a practitioner of both homeopathy and naturopathy. "It's called qi in China, prana in India."
In the Chinese model, qi is considered to be the life force that flows along specific pathways, called meridians, throughout the body. Points of heightened energy along the meridians are called acupoints. Sometimes the flow of qi in the body can become blocked, causing illnesses to develop. An acupuncturist uses the acupoints to stimulate the flow of qi and thus restore health to the body. |
