Homeopathy

There is one common thought to where homeopathy belongs, and that is the homeopathic thought. The opposite is the allopathic thought from regular medicine. When homeopathic remedies are prescribed from a allopathic line of thought, you are not dealing with homeopathy but with controlling the symptoms. If you have a pain you take a homeopathic drop and the pain disappears, but in principle you have not resolved anything.
There are three different substances in homeopathy:
1. Escalation substances. 2. Staple substances. 3. Fusion substances.
An escalation substance is a substance which is similar to the clinical picture (disease); with this you disturb an equilibrium. The substance upsets the ecology of the body, which the body accepts, and disturbs the equilibrium. This results in that the complaints worsen at first, and that new complaints occur, such as cramp, dizziness etc. Because the body’s control mechanism is disturbed worsening of the symptoms is necessary so that the body can let go of the clinical picture.
Escalation substances make it difficult for you. They force you to show your character. Unfortunately people often stop taking these substances because they think they lack perseverance. They prefer to remain ill and out of balance because they do not want to take escalation substances. They could better ask themselves why they started with homeopathy in the first place, instead of using allopathic (traditional) substances to rid them of their symptoms.
Afterwards a staple substance will be used to build you up. They need to be taken over a long period so that their properties can be released slowly into the body. Before the body realises the presence of the staple substances there will be so many present that the body is not able to break them down. You can say that staple substances are prescribed when it appears that your own antibodies are reacting too quickly and therefore they continue to protect the clinical picture instead of letting go.
Staple substances can also cause disturbances in the body which generally appear when a third bottle of the substance is started.
Cardiac arrhythmias and cramp can occur which can discourage you from continuing to take the substance. You must at all costs continue to take the substances so that you can reach your aim: ‘to recover from your illness’.
Fusion substances, (the third homeopathic substance) ensure that tensions are not   removed via the weak parts of the body. They are helpful substances because they help you to persevere. The character of the fusion substances ensures that you have to overcome less resistance in your body in order to recover. Fusion substances are usually given at the commencement of the treatment. They are going to assist you and clear the way so that escalation and staple substances can be administered; since you will still have to show willpower. When you continue to take the fusion substances but no escalation or staple substances then you are dealing allopathically with a substance. 

In homeopathy it is difficult to predict when your illness will improve. It is true that a homeopathic substance can work directly but each prognosis which is made by the homeopath is based on the condition of the patient at that moment. The only thing the homeopath can do is observe the patient and guess how long it will take before an improvement is seen. There are namely many circumstances which can effect the prognosis. The prognosis of a patient who seems stable can alter if he is unexpectedly confronted with a serious illness or death within the family, major financial problems, redundancy, in short with problems which cause serious stress or tension.
Moreover, similar tensions can cause the illness to worsen so that the homeopath will need to start all over again. That is why you should not blame the homeopath when his carefully thought out prognosis does not materialize, because the problem could lie with you. There is also a second problem about giving a prognosis which is that some patients literally go and wait for the healing to be within a said period of time, they actually stop living. But homeopathy ensures that you are stimulated to carry on with life so that healing* comes later in life. If you standstill and wait you run the risk of becoming more ill.

* Homeopathic substances are not medicines. 

The taking of homeopathic substances.
When you use one of the aforementioned homeopathic substances, you must realize that the substances give you a stimulant but do not heal.
Your body experiences the stimulation as enjoyable or as pleasant, or they are not recognized at all. The substances also ensure that the body makes antibodies that can help in the healing process. The substances cannot heal, the body’s reaction has to do this.
By using homeopathic substances you always need to give your body the chance to show that it has understood the stimulation. This is comparable with learning to cycle as a child. Your father held onto the saddle and then let go without you knowing it and without you falling. In the same way your body has to show that it is ready to work without medicine. That is why you must not use homeopathic substances continuously. The continuous taking of a certain substance is only prescribed in serious illnesses. Normally you must stop for 14 days between two bottles, even with chronic illnesses such as rheumatoid arthritis, bladder infection, kidney stones, migraine and similar illnesses. You then give your body the chance to show its character.

The dosage of homeopathic substances.

You always take 10 drops of one homeopathic fluid substance 3 times a day (or 15 drops twice a day) before eating, eventually diluted with water if you cannot tolerate the high alcohol content. By diluting the fluid the body needs more time to interpret the stimulation it receives. If using tablets, two are taken 3 times a day before eating. Both drops and tablets must be kept in the mouth for a short while. Homeopathy works via the salivary glands and not via the stomach.
In general you need 90 millilitres of the staple substance, which is equivalent to 3 bottles each containing 30 ml. After one 30 ml bottle is empty you need to wait a fortnight before starting the next bottle. If you need to take two substances simultaneously you begin the 14 day wait after both bottles are empty. Because of the difference in viscosity of homeopathic substances they will never be empty at the same time. After you have used 90 ml of a substance, (3 bottles), you wait 4 weeks before starting again with the substance(s). The 4 week wait is especially important for people with hormonal disturbances and migraine attacks.
Remedies which are prescribed by your GP in emergencies can be taken together with your homeopathic remedies.
Classic homeopathic dilutions can also be taken with ordinary dilutions.
When taking grains you must stop taking the ordinary homeopathic dilutions for three days, before starting again.
