Fixed Principles of Homeopathy

To ensure effectiveness, Dr. Hahnemann set a high bar for knowledge and best practice of Homeopathy. A true practitioner of Hahnemann’s healing art of Homeopathy understands that each of the fixed fundamental principles of Homeopathy is an integral part of the whole system, as it were representing the highest quality stones, materials that construct and underpin the homeopathic bridge from illness to recovery. If a doctrine or single principle is unknown, omitted, altered or misapplied, effectiveness of Homeopathy is in jeopardy.

The Individual & the Illness

• Homeopathy recognizes that a powerful innate life-giving life-preserving VITAL FORCE exists within each individual, regulating and maintaining the organism in harmonious order. A strong vital force renders us less susceptible to illness and possesses the power to transform illness into health. In Homeopathy, the uncomfortable experience of illness is perceived to be evidence of an energetic disturbance at the core of the individual, and a weakened Vital Force struggling to restore balance.
• In Homeopathy the patient examination identifies the state of our SUSCEPTIBILITY: how likely and the degree to which we are mentally, emotionally and physically influenced by a particular inherited predisposition to illness, circumstance, event, environment, internal and external changes, etc., and how slowly or quickly we successfully adapt to those changes.
• In Homeopathy the underlying cause of long standing illness is an unceasing, latent INHERENT PREDISPOSITION manifesting in multiple under productive, over productive or destructive processes, which combine to make gaps and breaches in nature that a weakened Vital Force cannot repair. The presence of these inherited tendencies is indicated by the family medical history and the individual’s pattern of illness, portrayed by the experience of particular symptoms. Effective Homeopathy eradicates or calms the predisposition’s degree of influence.
• In Homeopathy, the patient examination centers on eliciting THE TOTALITY OF SYMPTOMS: every mental emotional and physical symptom, sign and experience of suffering must be considered to form the unique portrait of the individual’s Vital Force in distress. For the cure of every disease, the totality of symptoms must be removed; the symptom totality indicates the correct symptom-similar homeopathic medicine for that purpose.
• In Homeopathy, all Obstacles to Recovery in each case must be identified and methods for their removal known.

Applied Science, Medicines & Laws of Nature

• Knowledge of the unique homeopathic medicine preparation method of SERIAL DILUTION AND SUCCUSSION (agitation), which was formulated by Hahnemann to release the healing properties of each natural substance, render them non toxic, soluble, without side effects and easily absorbed by the individual’s dynamic Vital Force. In this special process, a small amount of a single uncombined natural medicinal substance is ground in a mortar and pestle, mathematically serially diluted with an inert medium, dissolved in water and violently shaken or agitated. This serial dilution and agitation method creates a graduated range of ascending micro doses. Each dose is more dilute, more highly refined, more potent that the previous one and capable of penetrating the organism more deeply with less disruption than the previous one. A dose of homeopathic medicine is called a potency.
• Knowledge of THE MEDICINES: Through trials on healthy humans, know the symptoms each substance has the power to induce.
• Knowledge of the HOMEOPATHIC THERAPEUTIC NATURAL LAW OF SIMILARS which states: Health restoration using Homeopathy is achieved through the principle of symptom-similarity, likes are to be cured with likes. To sick people experiencing the greatest number of symptoms similar to the symptoms experienced during drug trials on healthy people, administer single, micro doses of the specially prepared and tested medicines; in that way, a weaker natural illness is permanently extinguished by a similar stronger artificially induced medicinal one.

The Proper Dose

• MINIMAL DOSE TO EFFECT CURE: Select the single, most suitable, symptom-similar medicine and administer it in the proper smallest quantity, at proper intervals.

The Transformation of Illness into Health

• Provided sufficient vital forces of recovery remain within the individual at the time treatment, the moment the correct, homeopathically selected medicine and dose is absorbed into the organism, it is as if our innate life-preserving Vital Force is presented with a magnified, intensified, artificial medicinal version of the original natural disorder, and it instinctively reacts against it. In union with and aroused by the influence of the symptom-similar homeopathic medicine, the strength of our Vital Force gradually intensifies, until at last, it increases to such a degree and becomes so potent, our Vital Force becomes far more powerful than the original disease, more powerful than the symptom similar medicinal disease, and powerful enough to extinguish the totality of symptoms experienced. Reinvigorated, liberated our victorious Vital Force reigns supreme again propelling the symptoms outwards, according to THE CORRECT NATURAL DIRECTION OF CURE. In the curative response, we experience symptoms moving from center to circumference; the innermost mental emotional sphere improves first, followed by improvement in the outermost physical sphere; there is an intermittent reappearance and disappearance of previously experienced symptoms, from head to hand to toe, from most vital organ(s), the brain, heart, lungs, liver etc, to lesser vital regions, organ(s) such as the extremities and skin. Symptoms disappear in the reverse chronological order in which they first appeared: most recent symptoms conditions experienced disappear first, symptoms conditions experienced long ago, disappear last. Mental, emotional, and physical equilibrium is restored throughout the organism; the transformation of illness into health is complete.
