Nutritional Supplements: Do You Know What You're Taking?

An energetic blueprint
Homeopathy is able to act in such a profound way because it utilizes the energetic blueprint of a material substance, which interfaces with the mind and body on a sub-molecular level. Each remedy carries energetic information to which certain "susceptible" people will react. The deeper we penetrate into the sub-molecular organization of a person, the greater the potential for a profound life-changing effect. This is why many homeopaths feel that the more dilute substances (1m and 10m) are more effective. Even remedy provings use 30c potencies.

Different Approaches to the Practice of Homeopathy
Not all homeopathic medicine is practiced or prescribed in the manner which I have described thus far. What I have been outlining is an approach to using homeopathic principles called classical homeopathy. Four other widely used forms of homeopathy are:

• First aid homeopathy
• Health food store homeopathy
• Clinical homeopathy
• Polypharmacy

First aid homeopathy constitutes a body of information concerning remedies that are related to specific first aid situations. For example, Arnica Montana - a plant growing at the base of certain mountains - is eaten by billy goats to offset injuries due to falls. When this plant is prepared and administered homeopathically, it is unparalleled in its treatment of blows and bruises resulting from blunt trauma. Swellings and bruising, which would take the body two days to respond to on its own, can be helped or alleviated in hours with the use of this remedy. There are many first aid homeopathic books available and this type of homeopathy is often a person's first exposure to homeopathic medicine.

Clinical homeopathy is very similar to first aid homeopathy, but requires a little more skill because there are larger numbers of remedies from which to choose. Usually, professional help is needed to evaluate whether information beyond the immediate clinical picture must be considered in order to make an accurate prescription. There are training programs and tape series for professionals who wish to master this level of homeopathic practice.

Health food store homeopathy is another way that many people are introduced to homeopathic medicines. Single remedy vials labeled with clinical indications may be found on the shelves of health food stores. For example, the remedy nux vomica might be labeled for diarrhea. However, this is often misleading, since not everybody with diarrhea will benefit from nux vomica.

This labeling system was imposed on homeopathic manufacturers by the FDA. To get around this, many homeopathic manufacturers have developed products that are composed of more than one remedy. This is called polypharmacy. While these products generally have not gone through rigorous testing on people, they are composed of remedies whose material medica indicates that they should be of some benefit for a specific clinical problem.

Homeopathy, the Final Analysis
In the final analysis, the utility of homeopathy is determined by the level of expertise of the practitioner. Homeopathy is truly a medical art and needs to be used in conjunction with other modalities that quantify and qualitate the clinical status of a patient. Because homeopathy relies so much on subjective impressions of both the patient and the practitioner, important physical signs can be undervalued or not fully explored. It is essential that a practitioner determine whether a patient's clinical condition poses an immediate threat to his or her health. Furthermore, in judging the reaction to the remedy, the practitioner must be able to recognize that the actual disease process is improving - not just that the patient "feels better". With these caveats in mind, I strongly urge anybody who is interested in getting a "third opinion" about their health to seek out the services of a professional homeopath.
