10] Summary
1] Good Health is the condition of continued optimal well-being of
a) a complex, multi-systemed biological organism free of discomfort, limitation and malintent
b) empowered by sufficient energy, tissue and organ function, immunity, ambition and clear thought
c) aided by unimpaired sensory input from vision, hearing, taste, smell and touch sensors, and
d) unhindered in its abilities to move physically, breathe, digest, eliminate and reproduce its species.
Illness, disease, pain and discomforts of all types, almost without exception, can most often be successfully treated by strategically using natural methods of cure. Body malfunctions have causes which are managed and revealed by successful responses generated while escorting the sufferer through a series of safe and harmless natural medicines, accompanied by any necessary lifestyle changes.
Health repair in this modern age is a task that must include a plan of action that counteracts not only the infections to which humans have, for centuries, always been susceptible, but also the negative biological and immune compromising effects of chemicals and heavy metals evident in body burden tissue samples taken from any random person or animal alive today. Biological systems malfunction and fail chronically, and often acutely, due primarily to these factors. Natural methods are available to reverse manage these problems and return health to normal but these influences are always better avoided in the first instance. Through good self-care with clean food, air and water, clothing, warmth and shelter, sleep, rest and exercise, dental care, sanitation and safety from infections, industrial contaminants, and negative social surroundings, the body should function perfectly for a century.
2] Natural Medicine is also called Naturopathy or Naturopathic Medicine and is also referred to as Complementary Alternative Medicine [CAM] and, to care for illness, it provides a broad range of gentle and effective, bio-compatible therapies which include:
a) Nutritional Medicine regarding food types and quality, food sensitivities and allergies, as well as diet and avoidance therapy
b) Herbal Medicine also called Botanical Medicine or Phytotherapy
c) Homeopathic Medicine using highly diluted vaccine-like medicines to safely induce the body to repair itself
d) Holistic Dentistry stressing bio-compatible methods and materials
e) Lifestyle Counselling regarding good self-care
f) Physical Medicine such as massage, manual manipulation, hydrotherapy and colon cleansing
g) Traditional Chinese Medicine [TCM] including Asian herbal medicine and Acupuncture
h) Injection Therapy using vitamins, herbs and chelation products
3] Natural Medical Treatments are all intended to guide and assist the ill body towards self-repair in a biologically compatible and harmless way aligned with the normal processes of nature of which we are all a part. Conventional Medical Treatments, by contrast, are focused on treating chronic and acute illness with pharmaceutical chemical drugs, surgery, and nuclear radiation which are all interventions foreign to natural systems and intended to forcibly remove unpleasant symptoms and negative signs from the body. At times necessary, especially in acute and life-threatening situations, forceful measures in the treatment of chronic disease often merely palliate or chronically relieve while overlooking detection and proper treatment of primary causes. This viewpoint, however, will not prevent a natural doctor from sending a patient for strong conventional treatment in a serious case that cannot otherwise be helped by gentler, natural methods.
4] The First Line of Defense and Counterattack against acute or chronic illness should be a mild but effective, biologically compatible treatment. These qualities are well demonstrated by Homeopathic Medicine because the homeopathic method is the most gentle and effective and the least invasive of all the natural therapies, only rarely produces side effects, and is quite capable of successfully treating a great multitude of different health problems. Helping people to regain their health through homeopathic treatment requires that they take pills of these medicines on a regular schedule to direct the body as to how to repair itself. These medicines are drawn from a selection of several hundred which are all prepared in a vaccine-like manner but to an extremely high and unusually safe level of dilution. Each medicine is named after the substance from which it is prepared and the word Homeopathy simply means 'same disease' indicating thevaccine manner in which this type of medicine functions. Read the Science section of this website to better understand how these medicines are diluted and prepared and how they operate to favourably affect the body.
5] Homeopathic Medicines are sequentially ultra-diluted with extreme vibratory mixing between dilutions within this unique system of vaccine-based medicine and they are categorized into one of the five broad classifications corresponding to
a) environmental pollutants
b) infections, and the
c) mineral
d) animal and
e) plant domains of nature.
All substances which cause or relieve illness are prepared medicinally and grouped within one of these categories, detailed selections from which are made of the appropriate medicines needed to return a person to normal health. People suffering from illness or injury are taken through a sequence of these medicines individualized to their specific needs to stimulate their body harmlessly to correct itself through the vaccine programing effect. A chronic case of sinusitis and headaches, for example, could be relieved or cured by homeopathic Mercury [pollution category], or a case of chronic colitis could respond to homeopathic Salmonella [infection category] while an old whiplash injury could self-repair from Ruta graveolens [plant category]. Homeopathic medicines are prepared in special pharmaceutical laboratories in both Europe and North America which have been manufacturing these medicines for wide use around the entire world for the last 200 years. This is a very old system of medicine that has withstood the test of time.
The correct homeopathic medicines act as sequentially applied, reprogramming tools that direct the body to precisely recognize and react against the problems offending it rather than simply coexisting with them and remaining disrupted and ill. As well, after a homeopathic medicine has relieved pain and discomfort, it also simultaneously reveals the initial cause of the health problem which, in vaccine fashion, is printed on the label of the medicine vial. This teaches us what to avoid in the future in order to remain healthy.
6] Causes of Sickness, Pain, Discomfort, Illness, and Disease develop simply from improper lifestyle choices such as poor diet, contaminated air and water, insufficient clothing, warmth and shelter, deprivation of sleep, rest and exercise, poor dental care, negative emotional and social situations and exposure to harsh weather or dangerous activities causing injury. We first need to learn to live properly and make, good choices in our daily activities and self-care decisions in order to avoid these problems but when we develop health conditions despite caring properly for ourselves then the cause of our problems is usually due to contamination of our bodies with pollutants and/or infections.
Of particular health importance today is exposure to products scented and perfumed by toxic chemicals including synthetic fragrances from the vast marketplace of retail and personal products. This bio-foreign, chemical pollution accumulates in the body causing many chronic, modern, health problems and diseases as do the biological effects also of traditional metallic dental care with continuous, severe and toxic, heavy metal exposures. Equally devastating have always been the infections that can easily develop in our teeth with some, especially root canalled teeth, being more susceptible than others to microbial invasion. Being cutting and grinding tools made vulnerable by exposure to the outside world of bacteria beyond the protective layers of our largest organ, the skin, teeth surfaces are often interrupted and penetrated over time through points of decay and breakage. As a very large portal of entry into the inner workings of the body, our 28 teeth can collectively conduct volumes of damaging microorganisms and toxic restorative materials into unprotected critical organs, profoundly disturbing them to create multiple symptoms and diseases.
7] Health Changes from Natural Medicines should begin with the first prescription which will often bring welcome improvement, but, if the health problem remains unchanged or improves only slightly, this indicates that more medicines will be required in stages to bring the level of health higher so that it rises above the pain threshold into the zone of relief. For example, if the sinusitis or the colitis or the whiplash symptoms do not change observably after the first prescription, this indicates that there are more accumulated layers of problems contributing to the health problem, each corresponding to another medicine. For example, the sinusitis, by the time it is finally gone, may have been cured and brought above the pain threshold by, not only the homeopathic Mercury vaccine, but also by the next homeopathic medicines for Lead and also Zinc poisoning and, finally, to defeat an infection, homeopathic Staphylococcus. In the final analysis, all of these homeopathic medicines were needed in order to relieve the pain and discomfort because the initial health problem was due to several combined factors which all had to be gradually eliminated in stages. Often, each successive problem will not reveal itself until the one before it is first treated and removed or subdued. For this reason, all the medicines could not have been discovered and taken together in the same prescription at the beginning of the treatment and, as a result, the healing process can be slow and gradual. But, by contrast, sudden and immediate improvement can occur if the health problem has been caused by only one or two problems.
8] Feeling Worse Rather Than Better after beginning a homeopathic medicine can occasionally occur but, while rare, this most often signals a good prognosis. If a strong and unpleasant reaction results from taking a homeopathic medicine then that medicine should be stopped promptly and the prescribing doctor should be informed so the prescription can be carefully adjusted. While the worst homeopathic medicinal outcome is no health change at all, any change, either good or bad, signals a significant positive breakthrough in understanding the illness. In these cases, it must first be understood that, because of ultradilution, the homeopathic medicines contain no materials of substance other than the vaccine-repatterned, water-and-alcohol molecules so it is impossible for them to have caused physical or chemical harm. Homeopathic medicines contain no harmful materials but can cause discomfort simply by moving the body along a path motivating it to counterattack and repair the problems it confronts.
In rare cases, the patient may be unpredictably extremely sensitive to a homeopathic medicine which must be discontinued without delay. For example, a gentle, plant-based medicine, frequently effective in relieving negative emotions, may surprisingly cause an even worse emotional state after only one dose of the medicine which, after being immediately discontinued, suddenly leaves the mind now in a state of perfect calm. This unpredictable hypersensitivity reaction has, nonetheless, through proper management of the crisis by stopping the medicine, brought about a successful outcome. If a medicine is incorrectly chosen and therefore unimportant to the body, its tissues and organs will simply not react, and it will not change its symptoms of illness positively or negatively. So while a good response is best, an unpleasant reaction to a medicine also indicates that this medicine is essential to understanding and curing the health problem.
Or, alternately, the medicine may have cleared away a path of relatively smaller obstacles so that the body is now free and unencumbered enough that it will over-react by making a massive but unpleasant counterattack as it tries to overcome and eliminate its remaining difficulties. Natural medicines heal by inducing the body to self-repair and occasionally discomfort will result from the strong effort that the body makes in response. This effort needs to be made much more focused, specific, effective and painless by adjusting with the next proper homeopathic medicine needed to deal with such a crisis. This crisis medicine will calm the body's counter-attack by making it very precise and efficient to bring an abrupt end to the crisis. For example, if the gradually improving chronic sinus problem suddenly relapses and becomes much worse again after taking the next well indicated homeopathic Staphylococcus medicine, as mentioned in the example above, this could be easily remedied by then taking homeopathic Penicillin which finally relieves the sinusitis crisis and even removes the remaining nasal problems completely. This positive outcome would simultaneously identify the Penicillin as what actually caused this nasal infection from its beginnings. Most people will panic with the discomfort at this point and may revert to old thinking patterns by self-medicating with common, over the counter, pain medication but this simply delays the final recovery and further toxifies the body with more pharmaceutical chemicals. In a crisis during homeopathic treatment it is best to try to discover what the next medicine should be before suppressing the symptoms with regular pharmaceutical drugs such as pain pills which, however, may be unavoidable until accurate advice is received.
9] Obstacles to Cure are habits, practises or circumstances that prevent a good health response and may also damage the body over time. Recognizing and then avoiding and overcoming or minimizing these hurdles will help to give the body an opportunity to repair itself. Chemically contaminated input materials in modern air, water and food sources are absorbed through repeated exposures and gradually bio-accumulate within our internal organs and tissues as major obstructions to biological repair. To improve and maintain health it is best to be highly vigilant regarding:
a) Food and Nutrition since nutrient quality is very important to fuel tissue repairs. It is most important to also realize that, during the large expansion of the chemical industry since WW II, numerous toxic chemicals have found a marketplace within the commercial food industry in the form of food additives. Fortunately, these dangerous substances are clearly mentioned on packaging ingredient lists allowing people to be aware of and to avoid them, however, we are basic sensory organisms that most often do not take the precaution to read these lists preferring to savour the pleasant artificial, but chemically dangerous, smells and tastes that we enjoy without due care as to what we are actually consuming. Since these food-borne chemicals are to be found in great abundance throughout most of our modern food supply the human race is slowly accumulating an internal chemical body burden that inhibits tissue repairs and accelerates the aging process. To overcome this dangerous obstacle to health and longevity the best advice is to simply purchase and eat predominantly organic foods from natural food stores which specialize in safe nutrition.
b) Air Quality problems can be very harmful due to the use of artificial perfumes present in personal care and household cleaning products as well as in retail goods which can be smelled upon first entering stores. These products, plus exhaust and petrol fumes from almost all transportation vehicles [until they become entirely electric] all continue the post-war chemicalization of the population and endanger our biological systems. Modern humans are virtually awash in a constant exposure to dangerous chemical vapours found in perfume, cologne, deodorant, scented soaps and body washes, bath oils, bubble baths,and bath salts, facial make-up, shaving cream and aftershave, hairdressing products, hair sprays and gels, shampoo, conditioner, mousse, baby products, nail polish, skin lotions, creams and powders, lipstick and gloss, toothpaste, mouthwash, hand sanitizers, sunblock and sun-tanning agents, new clothing and furniture fabrics, air fresheners and perfumed laundry detergents, fabric softeners and chemicalized drier sheets as well as harsh household cleaning products and repeated petroleum and exhaust emission exposures related to transportation. Laboratory analysis of tissue and organ samples clearly demonstrates that all people and animals including even newborns today are gradually accumulating a chemical body burden of many dangerous chemicals produced by industry. These substances inhibit recovery from illness and actually cause health problems. The best defensive actions to avoid chemical contamination and resulting ill-health involve:
1} Perfumed personal product and cleaning product avoidance through the use of bio-compatible alternatives to be found in the natural food stores
2} Gassing off newly purchased products in the garage before bringing them into the home and keeping windows open frequently for some time afterwards, augmented by regular airing out of the home at frequent intervals routinely in order to vent away chemicals generated from all manufactured items purchased and accumulated over time
3} Driving with car windows closed and the climate control recirculation switch in the on position to avoid inhalation of incoming petroleum emissions from the vehicles ahead
4} Rural Living which life insurance companies have discovered will lead to increased longevity while large city residence yields harmful air quality exposures that can be equivalent to regular cigarette smoking.
c) Water Quality problems can also undermine living systems and their self-repair. It is best to avoid most city and rural tap water as well as the various spring waters which, despite appearances, are unfortunately often invisibly contaminated by global, environmental pollution of almost all water sources today. Chlorinated water should never be consumed and distilled water is also dangerous since distillation actually concentrates the volatile petroleum pollutants so common in today's environment. Reverse Osmosis filtered water is the most completely purified modern water source available and is the best preference for daily water consumption. Developed by the US military in order to provide clean water for their troops wherever they are deployed, the RO process decontaminates water using a unique filter that will allow only H2O molecules to pass through while all the other molecules of pollutants are prevented from continuing in the water stream.
d) Pharmaceutical Drugs are manufactured industrial chemicals which affect and change bodily processes but are substances foreign and often harmful to the natural biochemical activities of living body systems. Although pharmaceuticals can force the body to react and save life in acute situations they are often toxic materials with side effects which are actually poisoning symptoms and the negative environmental effects of their accumulation in public sewage systems and eventually in waterways is a major concern for scientists. We must also be aware that bio-toxic petroleum is the large feedstock material that fuels the pharmaceutical industry and is used to manufacture many prescription and over the counter drugs such as Tylenol. Although pharma chemicals can relieve unpleasant symptoms, they are most often biologically toxic to varying degrees and need to be repeated in regular doses in order to continue an ongoing pattern of relief or palliation. This is quite distinct and different from the goal of natural medicines which is to simplycurethe health problem after which this bio-compatible medicine can simply be discontinued. It is necessary, despite their common prescription by medical doctors, to be very cautious of, to minimize the intake of, and to completely avoid when possible, the intake of pharmaceutical drugs in the interests of long term health. But medical prescriptions to remedy serious and life threatening health problems should continue to be taken.
e) Dental Infections and Materials can cause acute and chronic health problems even in the absence of any local symptoms of discomfort in the mouth.
1} Numerous dental metal materials: Aluminum, Beryllium, Boron, Copper, Lithium, Iron, Mercury, Molybdenum, Nickel, Palladium, Silver, Tin and Zinc have all been used extensively in tooth repair throughout the world population for the last two centuries and each carries its own poisonous toxicity profile. Each of these metals has been known to cause its own adverse health consequences and the multiple effects of their mixed combinations in large numbers have not been studied and can only be imagined with suspicion and distrust. Despite much long-standing, scientific recognition in standard medical textbooks about the slow poisoning symptoms of these metals, the dental associations continue to approve of them while remaining somehow frozen in time with a primitive frontier mentality as they continue to be scientifically immune and legally protected from stopping their use. Metals are still being used worldwide today in the repair of teeth despite the availability of the new, alternative ceramics and composite plastics technologies that allow truly holistic dentists to now practise completely non-metallic dentistry. However, the vast majority of practicing dentists continue to expose the public to slowly poisonous metallic tooth restorations. And because the body will automatically absorb the metal particles that gradually corrode from these dental metals, it will inevitably become ill eventually from their negative biological effects. But, in many cases, the body will respond well and health is noticeably improved by taking the homeopathic dental metal industrial vaccine medicines. A good response to them can thereby prove that metal toxicity is a significant factor in a person's illness and demonstrate the need to seek holistic dental repair work in order to remove and correct the ongoing, progressive damage being done by conventional metallic dentistry.
2} Dental infections can often exist in a chronic, painless, low-level state and are to be frequently found:
a) Around the edges of metal fillings which, because metal does not bond to tooth enamel, leave a narrow open space between tooth and filling through which bacteria can enter into the porous interior structure of the tooth to become colonized. The dentists are well aware that metal fillings 'leak' by allowing bacteria to chronically penetrate around them into the interior of the teeth.
b) Inside root canalled teeth which are quite porous and extremely difficult if not impossible to sterilize internally. A root canal procedure is initially performed in order to remove the infection from a painful, infected tooth by taking the infected nerve and blood vessels out of its central pulp chamber and root canals. However, sterilizing and killing the entire infection has proven to be almost impossible because, even long after a root canal procedure has been performed, residual infections often remain smouldering silently inside them to plague these dead teeth that have been allowed to remain within the body. With the nerve removed from the tooth, pain signals can no longer reach the brain warning about the infection which can be so subtle that it is often completely invisible to and undetectable by the dentist who will declare that the tooth appears to be in fine condition despite any protests to the contrary.
Despite this oversight, these infections can undermine a person's health so much that the individual remains continually unwell and may also suffer from serious diseases for which conventional doctors can find no apparent cure. Root canalled teeth are such a tremendous health liability that many truly holistic dentists simply refuse to perform this type of dental procedure and will offer only a tooth extraction in the best interests of the patient. Internal sterilization is difficult to impossible because the central dentin core material of the tooth, which lies under its thin 2 mm thick external enamel chewing surface, is extremely porous and provides a large catacomb of inaccessible passageways in which the infective bacteria can hide and continue to exist. From here they send out squads of enemy bacterial soldiers to constantly attack other parts of the human body, but despite this, sterile root canal therapy, like metallic dentistry, still continues to be a hot topic of dental debate today. Bacteria do not show up on xrays and painless tooth infections will not appear on film for many years until they finally become so far advanced that they eventually begin to erode the bone of the tooth or its socket. Only far on in time will the dentist see this bone erosion on the xray and become alerted to this formerly silent problem which has been infecting potentially the entire body already for many years.
Dentists are tooth specialists who most often will respect only the dental health opinion of another dentist. This fact combined with the high cost of dentistry and the irreversible nature of extracting suspected bad teeth puts natural health practitioners in a position where their warnings of potential dental problems can be ignored. But these dental problems are so common that expensive, private, serious and terminal illness clinics in Mexico and Europe employ entire dental teams on staff to remove all root canalled teeth and metallic dentistry soon after the patient's arrival in a desperate, eleventh hour attempt to save the patient's life. The skills of a truly holistic dentist are the only way to correctly detect and manage this type of situation which can severely impair overall health if not recognized and repaired as soon as possible.
10] Summary: Homeopathic medicine offers the best and safest health outcomes because of its wide selection of very specific medicines which, because of their extreme levels of dilution combined with their vaccine-like effect, are very efficient but also have no risk of toxic side effects. These medicines either help or do not help and rarely aggravate, other than in uncommon cases of extreme hypersensitivity, because of their tremendous, relative safety compared to conventional, chemical medicines. Removing poor lifestyle choices, avoiding hidden industrial, chemical and dental dangers and other obstacles to cure will allow the body to easily repair itself with the same instinct that drives it to heal a laceration or procreate offspring to perpetuate its species. As the old doctors from the 1800's said in their writings:
a) First do no harm,
b) Find and treat the actual cause(s) of the disease, and
c) Nature, manifested in the body, will repair itself when properly stimulated to do so.
These Rules of Classical Medicine have been almost lost as toxic industrial techniques, to our detriment, have taken over conventional health care as well as almost every other aspect of our modern lives. To be healthy we must live in a manner that is biologically compatible with our source in nature and repair our illnesses with equally compatible medicines.
Medical diagnosis is the process of identifying the type and the cause of a disease or an injury by studying the patient's 1] case history, 2] physical examination and 3] laboratory test results to arrive at a treatment solution to relieve the pain, discomfort and disability from which the individual is suffering. To legally maintain their license to practice, all registered doctors are required by law to perform a proper assessment of each patient in this manner before rendering any form of treatment in order to ensure accuracy and patient safety.
Naturopathic doctors like myself have, at this time, no access to government funded laboratory and xray facilities so, in every case, I will ask for as many conventional medical test results as can be supplied to help me analyse the health problems presented. Although Naturopaths are licensed and registered by the government and are required by law to make a diagnosis, we are simultaneously not given access to the technological testing required to do our job properly due to significant gaps in government legislation. As a result, many doctors of natural medicine have developed extraordinary skills in determining what actually is wrong with the patients we see and care for so that we can help them to regain their health despite these shortcomings.
Fragrant personal, household and industrial chemicals destroy Homeopathic Medicines:
Homeopathic medicines, despite their effectiveness, are very fragile molecular structures that are immediately ruined when their containers are opened in an air environment carrying molecules of biologically harsh chemical vapours. The chemicals that produce these odors in our modern, daily lives come from the use of a multitude of dangerous, fragrant, personal and household products manufactured by a large, industrial chemical industry. As a result, an accurate, well-intentioned, homeopathic prescription will have NO helpful effect unless the person being treated strives to adopt a more chemical-free lifestyle and suspend their use of these artificially scented, personal and household products. Only one chemical exposure will ruin the medicine within the uncapped vial creating confusion as the doctor and client struggle to understand why the health problem seems so difficult to correct. Always evaluate air quality before opening vials of homeopathic medicines. Before doing so, decide how accurate your sense of smell may be at that moment as you may know your ability to smell is chronically diminished or absent or you may be unable any longer to smell and be aware of fragrances in which you have been immersed for a period of time. Simply stepping outside into clean, uncontaminated air while uncapping the vial and taking the pills can be an immediate solution to this technical problem while, meanwhile, becoming educated about the equally large, alternative industry in non-toxic, biologically-compatible, natural, replacement products as a lifestyle change.
As part of your personal care, and to ensure a good response to your homeopathic medicines, please make a concerted effort to avoid these common dangerous products.

Developed by a German medical doctor, Dr. Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843), and a host of other contributing doctors who became very interested in his discovery, Homeopathy puts forth a brilliantly different perspective from which to approach ill health.
The word Homeopathy translates to 'same disease'. Homeo comes from the Greek word homoios meaning similar combined with the second Greek word pathos meaning disease. Both Webster's Dictionary and Dorland's Medical Dictionary describe homeopathy as a system of medicine founded by Dr. Hahnemann upon the principal that 'like cures like' (in Latin: Similia similibus curantur.) Described as The Law of Similars this basic principle underlying the manner in which homeopathic medicines are selected and prescribed states, simply, that the proper medicine for a patient's disease is that substance which is capable of producing, in a healthy person, symptoms of illness that are similar (or even identical) to those already being suffered by the ill person. This is a very old, vaccine-based system of medicine and the many different substances (primarily pollutants and infections) that cause people to become ill are specially manufactured medicinally in a very diluted form by homeopathic laboratories in business since the early 1800's when Dr. Hahnemann made his first discoveries. Still biologically active despite their high rate of dilution these medicines are harmless even when taken in pregnancy or in combination with conventional pharmaceutical drugs, supplements, vitamins or any other types of medicines.
Homeopathic medicines have their effects by functioning as reprogramming tools to tell the body what it needs to do to repair itself and to thereby eliminate its problems. These laboratories prepare ultra-dilute vaccines called nosodes (from the Greek nosos meaning disease) for every infection/germ known to infect humans, but, in Homeopathy, the vaccine theory is also applied to environmental pollutants that contaminate our species. Ultra-dilute preparations of Lead, Mercury, Petroleum, Pesticides and other pollutants focus the body, again harmlessly, on eliminating these substances as well, so that, thereby unburdened, the organs and tissues can resume normal physiological activity and improved immune function.
The Homeopathic system of medicine also includes dilute preparations of the plants, minerals, animal products and gases that comprise the natural environment which envelops us and these preparations are also used to help stimulate the body to repair itself. Understand that illness can obviously be caused by nutrient deficiencies, dietary excess and lack of adequate rest, but also by injuries, emotional upsets or exposure to adverse weather. The most significant harmful factors affecting us, however, seem to be the ongoing, negative effects of environmental pollutants and chronic infections because experience has shown that medicines directed at these particular problems seem to bring about best health results.
All homeopathic medicines are manufactured in the same manner according to strict rules described in the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia in continuous publication since 1897. Beginning with the dilution of 1 drop of the starting material (substrate) in one hundred drops of a solution of 87% alcohol and 13% water (the two dilutants) the container is shaken vigorously by a device, called a potentizer, very similar to a paint shaker machine. Only one drop of this mixture is then transferred to, and then diluted and shaken again, in another fresh container of another one hundred drops of the dilutants. This process is repeated up to one million times.
Various potencies are saved throughout the process and are labeled as 6C, 12C, 30C, 200C denoting the number of dilutions at the C = Centesimal (1:100) rate of dilution. The next potencies are labeled 1M, 10M, 50M (M = Mille(Fr.) = 1000 dilutions.) The last three potencies are labeled CM, DM and MM indicating 100,000, 500,000 and 1,000,000 dilutions respectively. Thus, each substance is prepared in an ascending series of 10 dilutions from low to high potency. Understand that any substance diluted to and beyond the 12C has gone beyond Avogadro's Number 6.0221415 x 1023 which simply means that it is mathematically impossible for these dilutions to contain even one molecule of the original substance.
Although conventional medical science considers these medicines ineffective because they are so dilute, molecular physics attempts to explain how they can still be biologically active through the concept of Water Memory. The molecules of water and alcohol that are used to dilute the medicines are only loosely attached to each other (i.e. they are highly dissociated) and can separate from each other and move individually and freely amongst the molecules of almost all other substances thereby separating, diffusing and dissolving them. This is why water and alcohol are so fluid/non-viscous and why they are called the universal solvents. Water dissolves/separates the molecules of all water soluble substances while alcohol dissolves all fat soluble substances so that, in combination, as a pair in solution, they are, together, able to dilute almost every planetary material to which we, as humans, may become exposed and thereby made ill.
It is conceived that water and alcohol molecules, as well, will then cluster together in a group to mimic the molecular shape of the substrate (i.e. the pollutant or the germ), further penetrating with this identical form into the substrate mass until all its molecules are completely diffused and dissolved. Furthermore, as the solution is gradually more and more diluted and shaken vigorously each time, it is hypothesized that the water/alcohol molecules gradually develop a more and more perfect molecular imitation of the substrate which is even more easily recognized by the body, thereby inducing it to neutralize and eliminate this harmful substance, see: Homeopathic Science and Modern Medicine: The Physics of Healing With Microdoses
Molecular physics thereby illustrates homeopathically prepared medicines as harmless water/alcohol molecular replicas of a multitude of earthly substances. As astonishing and controversial as this theoretical explanation may seem, this system of medicine actually does give predictable improvements in health problems when prescribed meticulously because I have been using it almost exclusively for many years and most people I treat regain their health partially or completely. We must also suspect that there must be some serious and profound benefits to be gained from an enduring 200 year old system of medicine used by many high profile clients such as Queen Elizabeth and the Rockefellers and applied by thousands of doctors across the globe daily from the early 1800's up to the present time. In fact, I have found it to be so incredibly efficient that, after studying so many different approaches to health care over the last three decades of treating the sick six days per week, I use, today, almost exclusively, homeopathy as my main method of treatment. It is also in complete accordance with all five original laws of classical medicine:
The purpose of these dilute medicines is to take advantage of a little known law of nature amongst biological systems that 'like cures like' (in Latin: Similia Similibus Curantur). This law is explained in the Arndt-Schulz Law postulated by a pharmacist in 1888 that says a very strong stimulus can abolish physiological activity while very weak stimuli can increase this activity. Such thinking is integral to the vaccine theory. By example, in the late 1800's doctors noticed an increasing number of cases involving men with abdominal pain coming into their offices. It was discovered that painting was the occupation of most of these men and their common diagnosis became known as Painter's Colic, later revealed to be due to poisoning with lead contained in the paints of that time. Homeopathic doctors treated this condition successfully with homeopathic lead (plumbum) infinitesimally diluted to various potencies.
The Patient Intake Form can be filled out online here:
Patient Intake Form
This format 1] induces serious patients to put forth the effort to carefully record in print all of their relevant case history information and it spares the need for me to take high-speed, conversation-based, hand notes and
2] preserves my personal health by minimizing my exposure to toxic, chemical vapours found in fragrances worn by most people today due to marketing persuasion.
Physical examinations of patients are legally mandatory by all licensed/registered doctors so I conduct examinations during in-person appointments at my office. For clients living at great distances away from me who cannot come to my office to be examined, I rely on a medical report of a physical examination conducted by some other licensed/registered doctor which can be sent to me. These are printed reports, often called a Patient Profile, and they list all the individual's medical case history and physical examination details as well as all their laboratory and xray findings.
Because of large and paradoxical gaps in the law, naturopathic doctors, at this time, are required to make a diagnosis in every case they treat while they, simultaneously, have no access yet to government funded laboratory and xray facilities to help them make that diagnosis. As a result of this dilemma, I simply ask all of my patients, including those who are local and who I have already examined, for their medical reports so I can have access to their very helpful lab and xray information allowing me to help them as much as possible.
Chemical sensitivity to toxic chemical vapours is a health problem from which I suffer chronically. The chemicals which make me ill with severe fatigue, headache and dim vision and, to which we are all regularly exposed, are mostly derived from petroleum products. This includes, not only the products that we can smell in the stores we enter, but also all the personal products that we have been marketed into believing that we need to apply to our bodies. This includes the following long list of perfume, cologne, deodorant, facial make-up, shaving cream, aftershave, hairdressing products, hairspray and gel, shampoo, conditioner, mousse, scented soaps and body washes, bubble baths, bath oils and bath salts, baby products, nail polish, skin lotions, creams and powders, lipstick and gloss, toothpaste, mouthwash, hand sanitizers, sunblock and sun-tanning agents, new (and unwashed) clothing fabrics, petroleum, air fresheners and perfumed laundry detergents and fabric softeners and chemicalized drier sheets.
When coming to my office for examination please obey the scent-free policy sign at my front door before leaving home and do not enter if carrying these products. The human sense of smell will accommodate to these chemical fragrances within only minutes of application so that you may well not smell your own perfume and may then feel that it is alright to enter my office since the vapours seem to have evaporated and 'worn off' leading you to believe the sign may not apply to you. This is usually not the case since these chemicals can be detected even late in the afternoon because they are designed to last all day long and can smell to newcomers as if freshly applied. Please also do not wear 'natural', 'expensive', 'high quality' or any other fragrances you may personally feel are acceptable. If I detect fragrance upon your arrival I will need to ask you to leave the office immediately so that I and others do not need to vacate the building. I simply cannot tolerate this massive public health problem of polluted air or I will be unable to continue working and helping other people. This condition is the result, in my case, of chronic mercury poisoning from childhood dental fillings and I cannot be cured but only alleviated by taking homeopathic Mercury medicines to help control my pain and discomfort. Your appointment can be rebooked for a second attempt and there will be no charge for my lost office income and your shortcomings in this regard in order to avoid complaints and further unpleasant emotions. However, if you wish still to make a complaint you can begin that long process through proper legal channels by please contacting my licensing board at the College of Naturopaths of Ontario, 150 John St, Toronto, ON, M5V 3E3 info@collegeofnaturopaths.on.ca +1-416-583-6010.
If the patient is able to be present in my office, their body's need for the medicines prescribed can be demonstrated through electro-dermal biofeedback testing using German bio-medical electronic equipment. This testing, developed by German medical doctors, and in daily use by a large portion of the European medical community for almost 60 years, measures changes in electrical skin resistance in response to challenges with medicine and also organ and tissue samples. This technique is not essential to making distance prescriptions for those living a distance too great to allow them to come to my office since I determine which medicines are necessary in each case based simply on my experience.
To understand this technique more clearly, one can simply imagine a lie detector/polygraph device that reacts, not to verbal questioning, but rather to small vials of organ and tissue samples introduced into the unit's circuitry. For example, a person with a weak thyroid gland will demonstrate an increase in skin resistance resulting in a low measurement value (a drop of the needle to a lower level on the instrument gauge) when simply contacted with the thyroid tissue sample. This procedure is simple, painless and safe since the power source for the device comes from only a small 9 volt battery. Subsequently, if the person demonstrating a thyroid tissue sample current conduction decrease is then also exposed to a sample of iodine, the current flow may immediately increase dramatically upon a retest (causing a rise of the needle on the instrument gauge) indicating a need for iodine medicinally to help the thyroid. This technology helps verify which natural medicines are needed to stimulate organ and tissue repair. Using this technique, the German medical doctors discovered long ago that changes in the measurement of human skin conduction follow exposure to challenges with laboratory prepared organ and tissue samples corresponding to the same malfunctioning systems within the body. Even more common daily problems such as low back pain will demonstrate a current drop on the lumbar spine tissue sample that may respond positively to a natural injury medicine. This method will help search out the cause of, and help reveal the natural medicines needed to correct, a wide variety of health problems and is another interesting technology that has been developed by the natural health care community.
Blood pressure measurement using a blood pressure cuff and stethoscope is also a form of biofeedback, where a stimulus applied is followed immediately by a measurable physiological response. The only contraindication to using electro-dermal technology is in those who have an indwelling heart pacemaker. As well, this procedure is time consuming enough that young children are typically unable to sit still long enough to permit proper testing, so, the treatment of those under 10 years of age is accomplished primarily through the interview.
