Homeopathy

Homeopathy is a system of medical therapeutics based upon fundamental laws of nature. It is a curative system of therapy that restores health by stimulating the body’s own systems of defence and repair.
The first and central law of homeopathic science is the Law of Similars: What a substance can cause, it can cure! Stated more fully: the mental, emotional and physical symptoms and signs which any substance can cause in a healthy subject, when administered in material or dynamic form, are the very symptoms and signs which the substance can cure, when administered in dynamic form to a sick person. The dynamic form is non-molecular – a pattern of healing – a specific, quantum stimulus known as a homeopathic potency.

Simple examples of healing by similarity: Allium cepa, the red onion, causes intense itching and watering of the eyes and nose and attacks of sneezing; it is frequently indicated for the treatment of head colds and hay fever. Coffee causes insomnia and mental hyperactivity; used as a homeopathic potency it relaxes the mind and permits natural sleep.

Dr Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843) first formulated the principles upon which homeopathic science is based. Experimenting with quinine, he proved that it not only possesses the power to cure malaria, but can also cause malaria-like symptoms in healthy subjects. Similar tests with various plant, animal and mineral substances, revealed the same universal relationship between cause and cure.

As perceived by Hippocrates, the symptoms and signs of disease are understood to represent the effort of the body to re-establish homeostasis and bring about a cure. They reveal the picture of an incomplete healing process, which must not be suppressed, but assisted to its completion by a remedy capable of producing a similar picture. In this way the inherent, curative power of the body is stimulated. For example, Arsenic, which causes severe vomiting and diarrhea, becomes an ideal remedy for many cases of gastro-enteritis.

Homeopathic Medicine

Remedies in dynamic form are free of toxicity and yet remain therapeutically active. This is possible because of the second law of homeopathy, the Law of the Infinitesimal Dose: the healing power of a substance is in direct ratio to its degree of serial dilution, when each stage of dilution is accompanied by a period of agitation (shaking or grinding), and the remedy is prescribed according to the Law of Similars. This process of potentization imprints the image of the remedy upon the molecules of the solvent and progressively amplifies it. This is a phenomenon of quantum physics. It is the quantum form of the remedy that renders it capable of providing the curative stimulus.

In the selection of a remedy, the homeopath regards each patient as a unique individual. The remedy is selected on the basis, not only of the clinical diagnosis, but also, and especially, on those aspects and attributes which reveal the patient’s uniqueness – the life experience, personality, values, beliefs, habits and emotions. Disease affects the entire patient in body, mind, emotions and soul, and the remedy must be selected on holistic principles and administered in quantum form to be able to address all these levels of existence and prove curative.

In these days of increasing chronic disease, sinister viral infections, resistant organisms, super bugs and a host of incurable conditions, a system of healing that is non-toxic and capable of stimulating the body to heal itself, is more essential than ever before. Homeopathy is such a system!

Putting it together

Homeopathy is not practiced as a sole modality at our Integrative Medical Centre, but instead we look to integrate several natural supportive therapies that would best suit the patients to ensure that they recover at the fastest rate possible. We integrate disease screening modalities which help determine where the primary cause of the disease is centered and from there, once the causation of the problem is located, we determine the way forward which can include:

Detoxification stimulation to unburden the organs of elimination via liver and gall parasite cleanses.

Prescription of homeopathic and herbal treatments to aid in detoxification and stimulation of the body organ systems.

5
Course of colonic irrigations to release waste burden on the body and up-regulate glutathione pathways.

What my patients say:

I have begun to release many of the emotions I felt a prisoner to, and am changing my thought patterns I have begun to see light at the end of the tunnel. I am not so tired, oversensitive, I’ve lost some weight and have way more energy. My hair has begun to grow back and I feel like I have a new lease on life. I know I still have a way to go, but I am committed to this treatment for the long haul. I cannot wait to see where I will be in a year from now. I am so grateful to Dr de Pontes.

Goals of the Homeopathic Approach

The Homeopathic Treatment

The goal of the homeopathic treatment is to encourage the body to return to a natural state of balance and health. Like the missing pieces of a puzzle, homeopathic medicines help “fill-in” the gaps in the body to stimulate a person’s own healing potential and energies. When this occurs, the person will have access to the body’s natural strength and wisdom, so that more conventional medicines and chemical-based substances may not be needed.

Is homeopathy merely psychological?

If you think you must “believe in” homeopathy for it to work, you need to know that it is not a placebo effect. Here are some powerful examples: Infants: Homeopathic remedies and treatments are successfully used by parents for common infant ailments such as colic, teething pain and some infections. Animals: There are many veterinarians using homeopathic medicines to treat domestic pets such as cats, dogs and birds, as well as barnyard animals like goats, horses and cows. Is it possible to have a placebo effect with animals?

Millions of people across the world use and rely on homeopathic remedies. Today there are a rapidly growing number of conventional medical doctors using homeopathic medicines, including:

5
39% of French family physicians
5
20% of German physicians
5
10% of Italian physicians
Moreover, in many European countries there is a growing trend of medical doctors referring patients to homeopathic physicians.
