Homeopathy demonstrates that it works for a variety of health concerns
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
Homeopathy is hot in medical news right now. But you may be wondering whether the treatment is right for you. Experts say those who practice homeopathy treat the whole person, using medicines taken from plants, minerals, metals and, in some cases poisons. The medicines are diluted in water but retain a small dose of the required therapeutic agent.
TO SOME, it's new age snake oil, to others a tried and trusted treatment, with advocates from members of the British Royal family to US presidents, pop stars and footballers.
The German doctor Samuel Hahnemann is credited with inventing today's form of homeopathy, after he became increasingly horrified by the so-called cures that were available in the late 18th century, such as blood letting and the liberal use of arsenic.
He gave up his traditional practice, and, after many months of research, he announced a new medical principle based on the practice of the ancient Greeks of "that which makes sick shall heal".
The key to homeopathy is in the way the practitioner deals with his patient.
Special drops that he made up for me resulted in the less than gentle conventional medication used to shrink cancerous tumours being far less of a traumatic experience.
How does Dr Avraamides approach his patients: is there not a risk he might frighten them away with talk of plant extracts and holistic healing?
Avraamides is passionate about his work, both as an MD and as a homeopath, so much so, he has written three best selling books with a fourth title on its way (all in Greek).
The first to be published was Holistic Therapy, Bio Energy and Consciousness, the second Our Thoughts and their impact on our health, and his most recent Seeking Freedom.
In essence, all these focus on the belief that real healing can only take place if we concentrate on having positive thoughts, if we can manage to take time out of our increasingly busy lives to take a personal healing trip, to then get in touch with body and mind, and so learn live a more positive and fulfilling existence.
