That is the
question of the ages!

We know it
works—but how?

Well, science is finally beginning to figure
that out. Dr. Iris Bell, MD, Ph.D. (University of Arizona College of Medicine)
explains:

Homeopathic medicines are not conventional drugs. Conventional
drugs act via biochemical, mechanistically targeted, specific direct local effects. In contrast, in this complexity model, the
correct homeopathic medicine serves as a low-dose stimulus or individualized
signal for inducing patterns of functional adaptive changes globally and
locally in the body. The homeopathic signal (otherwise known as “the remedy”) captures
and conveys a low or weak “dose” of the salient complex disease
frequency information to the body, thereby setting in motion personalized…responses
to reverse the disease.

What makes homeopathic remedies so unique—so different from ordinary
drugs?

According to Dr. Bell and her colleagues, the unique manufacturing
process by which remedies are made creates
complex nanostructures (super
tiny particles) that can communicate/signal information to living systems…

The difference between higher and lower potencies?
Higher potency remedies endure a greater degree of agitation or succussion during
manufacture than each lower potency—inevitably leading to the generation of
increasingly smaller nanostructures. The smaller the size, the greater the
surface area/reactive surface of the particle.

How homeopathy works… according to the evidence:

…homeopathic treatment
involves treating the individual patient literally with a quantitatively low
dose of his or her own current holistic biological disease state information
(in the form of the homeopathic
remedy
) at the nano-scale level… This first step initiates (a) cascade of
adaptive biological signaling (within the recipient organism)… once the
simillimum (
most similar) homeopathic signal (remedy) interfaces
and acquires its personalized biological identity from the recipient’s own bodily
fluids (by acquiring a protein shell from the patient’s blood plasma), the…biological
signaling networks of the body can take over.

All of this leads to:

…
modulating the biology of symptoms and healing via functional changes in
neural, immune, and inflammatory pathway networks and mediators… These
adaptations are all in the service of optimizing the individual’s fitness to
survive…
[1]

Ok. Now in simpler terms: homeopathic
remedies are made from very dilute solutions of medicinal materials.

So, you ask, if they are so dilute, how
can they be effective?

Thanks to the work of over a dozen
research labs in the U.S., France, Italy, Russia and India, we now know that
the homeopathic remedy manufacturing process produces significant numbers of
nanoparticles of the medicinal substance every time a remedy is made. Nanoparticles
are
tiny—ranging in size from
1 nanometer (nm) on a side up to 1000 nm or more.

What makes a nanoparticle special?

Science has confirmed that
nanoparticles have properties quite unlike ordinary bulk materials (like OTC
and prescription drugs), providing greater bioavailabilty (the ability of a
substance to be used by the body) with improved rates of absorption and
enhanced catalytic ability for chemical and biochemical reactions
[2].

Let’s go back to Dr. Bell:

According to current research, when a living
creature encounters an external or internal stressor (a bacterium, a virus, an
environmental toxin, a nanoparticle, and emotional shock, etc.), its complex
adaptive system makes adjustments impacting the entire organism in an attempt
to maintain a balanced state and improve the chances of survival.

Adaptations in a living system are all in the service of
optimizing the individual’s fitness as (a complex adaptive system) to survive
in an environment that includes encounters with ever-changing larger and
smaller stressors.

Disease occurs when stressors reach a certain
threshold, forcing the organism into an unnatural and unbalanced state.

How does homeopathy help?

Classical homeopathy focuses on treating the
patient as an
indivisible whole (living system). For homeopathy,
the “diagnosis” (involves the) determination of the one medicine that
best matches (is most similar to) the whole, integrated, bio-psychosocial
symptom picture or pattern (state) of the patient at the time of treatment.

…classical homeopathy requires one unified
diagnosis (the medicine picture [state of the patient] in the present time),
and treatment with the single medicine that best captures the information pattern of a similar, multi-subsystem pattern
of symptoms. Homeopathic symptoms (the symptoms of each patient) are
manifestations of a
singular, pervasive, emergent disturbance of the (whole)
individual as a whole system or network of networks, not of a specific body
part or biological mechanism in isolation.

According to Dr. Bell, when used correctly,
the
individually salient (relevant), low dose of the correct homeopathic
medicine (simillimum) triggers a disproportionately large-magnitude
organism-wide reversal of multiple symptoms (disease)
.[3] Again to simplify—remedies trigger
the body’s innate ability to heal. They work
with the body—rather than against it, the way most ordinary
drugs do (ie,
anti-inflammatories, anti-biotics, etc.)

Truth is—homeopathy
is a gift to humankind. It’s fully compatible with the known laws of healing;
it works synergistically with the health-giving/health-protecting microbes in
the body
[4] and the immune
system
[5], and it’s consistently shown vastly superior environmental sustainability.[6] In short, homeopathy
provides you and your family with one of the safest and most efficacious
methods of treating and resolving illness.

* As with any medical condition, consult
with your physician if you have any concerns about the severity of your problem
as it may first require medical diagnosis and/or intervention and monitoring.

About Dr. Iris Bell:
Dr. Bell is internationally renowned for her work in
the field of integrative medicine. She is a brilliant researcher, having
received her Bachelor of Science degree from Harvard (Magna
Cum Laude) and her M.D. and Ph.D. from Stanford University. She was also a National

About
Dr. Lisa Samet:

Dr. Lisa Samet N.D. provides Washington Homeopathic Products with a regular column on using homeopathy for the family. She’s a naturopathic physician who specializes in homeopathic medicine and she’s a partner with Dr. Andre Saine N.D. Dr. Samet graduated from the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine in 1998 and has been practicing in Montreal since then. She was born and raised in New York.

Dr. Samet has chosen to focus on homeopathy because in her experience it is the deepest healing modality available in that it does not just soothe or palliate symptoms but can actually stimulate the body to start to heal itself. Dr. Samet sees patients in her Montreal office as well as long distance using Skype. Learn more here:
