The Answer to Health is NOT in a Bottle

/0 Comments/in , /by

Today I received my first solicitation call. The person was trying to interest me in a “magic” product line to get even my “toughest” patients well. That conversation prompted this brief post.

The answer to your health concerns are not to be found in a bottle. There is no such thing as a magic pill (or capsule or powder). There is no magic prescription medication or herb or vitamin.

Yes, these things can help you feel better, at times, but only the body can cure. Some of these things, especially herbs and homeopathic medicines can aid the body to heal, but your body does the healing, not the “medicine” found in a bottle. When you break your arm or scrape your knee, your body heals. This is true for chronic disease as well. To heal, the body needs the obstacles which are standing in the way removed. Then the body can be given a gentle “nudge” with appropriate herbs, hydrotherapy, or homeopathic remedy.

In future post(s), I will expand on the way herbs, homeopathy, and hydrotherapy can aid in the body’s ability to return to health.

Homeopathy in the Media

Homeopathy is by far the most controversial modality in naturopathic medicine. This article provides the best explanation and overview of homeopathy that I have seen in mainstream news. It is well worth the read for both skeptics and believers alike.

This article provides a likely explanation for how homeopathy works. Not understanding the mechanism behind homeopathy has been a major factor leading to skepticism and outright rejection of it. Not understanding the mechanism behind how something works, however, is not proof that it does not work. It merely illustrates the limit of our current understanding. Homeopathy’s use of infinitesimal doses challenges our understanding of the physical world.

Homeopathy is often viewed as not being scientific. Merriam-Webster defines science as “knowledge about or study of the natural world based on facts learned through experiments and observation.” Hahnemann was an incredible, meticulous scientist- experimenter and observer- who was far ahead of his time.

Enjoy the article!
