Transforming Healthcare is Transforming Lives
Transformative Medicine
Homeopathic medicine has the capacity to transform-to change the lives of its patients in radically renewing ways. Homeopathic medicines reach deeply into the individual to bring about greater health. This is an alchemical transformation, the process of changing sickness into health.
It is an extremely powerful form of medicine that is potentially curative of chronic disease. Homeopathy does not seek to suppress or palliate symptoms but to treat the underlying cause of disease. It does this in a most safe, gentle yet effective way.
The process of preparing homeopathic medicines turns substance into energy or spirit. It is this tension between energy and substance which makes homeopathy unique among the medical disciplines. All of life is energy. The deepest level of expression of any organism is its vital force. The purpose of homeopathy is to restore the patient's balance and harmony. In disease, what needs to be cured is the mistunement of the vital force. Homeopathic medicines directly effect the vital force. They stimulate the self-healing power of the individual. Homeopathic medicines are energy medicines.
Holistic Compassionate Care
Homeopathy treats patients from all walks of life. It is equally effective for pregnant women, newborns and in the elderly. It is effective in first aid conditions, acute conditions and chronic disease. It is also highly effective in the treatment of animal and plant diseases.
Each person is a unique, complete and integrated whole. Effective treatment considers all levels of the person's being (physical, emotional, mental and spiritual). In doing so, it honors what is unique and characteristic about each person.
True healing gets to the heart of what it is to be human. As our patients become healed, they grow in awareness of themselves, of others and of the natural world. Homeopaths help their patients to become more human by removing that which is non-human in their patients (disease) and in this process become more human themselves.
Homeopathy has a great respect for the individual. We recognize and honor the uniqueness and diversity of each of our patients and students. Each homeopathic medicine is uniquely tailored to the individual needs of our patients.
People’s Medicine
Homeopathic medicine is often called the “People’s medicine”. Its back to basics approach, is firmly embedded in the traditional roots of cultures from around the world. Its simplicity is that it can be used by anyone for treatment of self-care and acute problems, making it extremely popular. It is the most common form of traditional (alternative) medicine in North and South America and the second most common form of alternative medicine in the world today. It is also thought to be the fastest growing form of traditional medicine.
Treatment is considerably less expensive than conventional treatment. The cost of homeopathic treatment averages less than one third of that of conventional medicine. The cost of homeopathic medicines average 1/7th the cost of conventional medicines.
Health Freedom
Our health care system is in crisis.
-
Skyrocketing costs for both treatment and medicines
-
Mechanized care
-
Increasing iatrogenic disease (doctor caused)
-
Rising costs of insurance for patients and malpractice insurance for
physicians
-
Increasing negative side effects to conventional medical treatments
-
A growing population that cannot afford healthcare
-
Increasing dependency on a growing number of conventional drugs
Homeopathic medicine represents an important alternative system of care. It offers a freedom of choice for those who are looking for something more.
Green Medicine
Homeopathic medicine represents a form of environmentally friendly and environmentally sustainable medicine. It is cost-effective, safe and non-invasive. Side effects seldom occur and generally homeopathic medicines are well tolerated.
Homeopathic Medicine relies heavily on substances in the natural world including minerals, plants and animals. From a homeopathic perspective, all of life has the capacity to heal. Everything in life is energy and there is no separation or distinction between man and his environment or between man and the natural world.
Homeopathic medicines are living medicines. Rather than biochemical constructs like most conventional medicine, homeopathic medicines carry a certain spirit or vital force. They are also closely regulated by the FDA.
Homeopathy holds a profound respect for the environment and natural world. There is a responsibility to honor and protect the natural world and to provide wise stewardship and a lasting legacy for our future.
Homeopathy Works
Homeopathic medicine is effective. Homeopathic practitioners have high success rates in their practices. National surveys show high patient satisfaction with treatment. In addition, patient compliance is generally much higher than that in conventional medicine.
Homeopathic medicine is scientific and evidence based. It rests on firm principles and a foundation that has been present for hundred’s of years. In the United States, homeopathic medicines are regulated by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA).

The Curative Power of
Life: The physician’s highest calling is to cure. Homeopaths have found the key to achieving this – by unlocking the healing power of substances from the natural world. All of life has the capacity to heal.
-
The Law of Similars: Matching the Medicine to the Patient. Each patient brings a unique and integrated symptom picture that completely represents their disease state. Each medicine has a unique and integrated symptom picture. When the medicine's picture is as similar as possible to that of the patient, the medicine acts curatively. This is the Law of Similars, which is nature's law of cure.
-
Energy Medicine: All of life is energy. The deepest level of expression of any organism is its vital force. The purpose of homeopathy is to restore the patient's balance and harmony. In disease, what needs to be cured is the mistunement of the vital force. Homeopathic medicines directly affect the vital force. They stimulate the self-healing power of the individual.
-
Removing Obstacles to Cure: Healing can be impeded by obstacles such as drugs, diet, stress and other emotional or physical factors in the environment of the patient. For this reason, our role as homeopaths includes the task of helping patients identify and remove these obstacles. It is also important that while doing so, practitioners act in a non-judgmental and compassionate way.
-
Less is More:
The quantity of action necessary to effect any change in nature is the least possible. The body heals it self with maximum economy. Homeopaths use the minimum dose necessary to effect cure.
-
Treating the Whole Person: Each person is a unique, complete and integrated whole. Effective treatment considers all levels of the person'sbeing (physical, emotional, mental and spiritual). In so doing, it honors what is unique and characteristic about each person.
-
Non-Suppressive: Homeopathy does not seek to suppress or palliate symptoms but to threat the underlying cause of disease. It does this in the most safe yet effective way.
