How does it differ from conventional medicine?     

Conventional medicine is based primarily on the concept that diseases are caused by harmful organisms such as bacteria and viruses. Treatment aims to either kill these organisms or to oppose the resulting local symptoms.

In contrast, homeopathic treatment strengthens a person's health by acting as a catalyst to stimulate and direct the body's ability to fight infection. It also lessens any underlying susceptibility to disease.

Homeopathy has a holistic approach that considers many symptoms in its quest to treat underlying causes of ill health. Therefore, mental, emotional and physical symptoms play an important part in determining treatment.

In simple words, homeopathy attempts to stimulate the body to recover itself.  There is an important basic difference which exists between conventional medicine and homeopathy.  Homeopathy's aim is to cure: The complete restoration of perfect health" as Dr. Samuel Hahnemann said.

What are the medicines?                                  

Many people confuse homeopathic medicine with herbal remedies or with the broad field of alternative or natural medicine. Homeopathic medicine has its own sophisticated system of using substances from the plant, mineral, chemical, and animal kingdoms and it has a fascinating and powerful method of strengthening the body’s own defense       system.These remedies are made by Homeopathic Pharmacies in accordance by the FDA.                         

It is important to remember, that a medicine is homeopathic only if it is taken based upon the similar nature of the medicine to the illness. A medicine labeled as "homeopathic" will work only if it is homeopathic to the symptoms presented.        

Why should homeopathy be the first choice of treatment?The beauty of homeopathy is that it not only initiates a healing response, but it encourages and respects the body's wisdom. Because symptoms represent the best efforts of our body in its defenses against infection or stress, it makes sense to utilize a medicine that helps and mimics this defense rather than to inhibit or suppress. The principle of homeopathy, when used well, can be one of our most sophisticated healing strategies.

In homeopathy symptoms are not just something “wrong” with the body, but rather, they represent the efforts of the body and mind to defend and heal itself from a variety of agents and/or stresses. The body creates fever, inflammation, pain, discharge, or whatever is necessary in order to heal itself. While these symptoms represent the body’s best efforts to heal, they are not always successful in doing so. Ultimately, homeopathic remedies are some of the most powerful natural medicines available today to help stimulate the body’s ability to heal itself.

Medical science today is increasingly recognizing symptoms as adaptive responses of the body. Standard texts of pathology define the process of inflammation as the manner in which the body seeks to wall off, heat up, and burn out infective agents or foreign matter. The cough has long been known as a protective mechanism for clearing breathing passages. Diarrhea has been shown to be a defensive effort of the body to remove pathogens or irritants more quickly from the colon. Discharges are understood as the body's way of ridding itself of dead bacteria, viruses, and cells. Even high blood pressure is an important defense and adaptation to the internal and external stresses that a person experiences.

The derivation of the word “symptom” is helpful to better understanding the disease process and the healing process. The word "symptom" comes from a Greek root and refers to "something that falls together with something else." Symptoms are a “sign” or a “signal” of something else, and treating them doesn't necessarily change that "something else." Just because a drug gets rid of a symptom does not mean that the person is cured. In fact, drugs that suppress or inhibit a symptom tend to provide only a guise of success and usually lead to a longer and more serious illness. Using drugs to suppress symptoms is akin to pulling the plug on your car’s oil pressure warning light. Just because the light is turned off doesn’t mean that your car’s oil pressure is “cured.” In fact, ignoring that light may lead to your car’s breakdown.

When one recognizes that symptoms are important and useful defenses of the body, it makes sense to use less drugs that inhibit or suppress this wisdom of the body.  

Since our approach is based on individuality of our patients, we have come to understand through our clinical practice that some patients especially those with ASD, ADHD and other neurological challenges need to be treated by isopathy, which is a form of homeopathy.  Isopathy is a step by step detoxification with the homeopathic diluted and potentized substances that caused the disturbance. We use different potencies to clear out the energetic field of the patient from the imprints of the toxic substances or diseases.
