Sometimes people ask me about my homeopathic philosophy. I want to present some of my views on these pages to you. You can comfortably read through it by following the different chapters.
My introduction to homeopathy
Homeopathic philosophy was introduced to me by my grandfather. He had an extensive Homeopathic library and I remember him successfully treating friends and family with homeopathic medicines. As a child, I had the benefit of being treated by homeopathy right from the start. Not only my grandfather's treatment, but also that of our family homeopath, impressed me deeply.
As a child and young adult, I had an innate interest in healthy living, and was averse to synthetic and processed foods. Attracted to books about Natural Hygiene, Macrobiotics, and such diets seemed to me logical. I could imagine how much sickness was due to unhealthy living. It became self-evident, too, how stress was a major cause of illness. In my own case, I could relate every illness of mine to some stressful situation in my life.
I noticed that animals who eat and drink in less hygienic situations than humans, are often more healthy. It followed that the cause of illness had to be something deeper than just the microbes. It also had to do with the host. Homeopathy, with its profound understanding of the individual recognized this. |
