Homeopathy in History...

Dr. G. H. Carr says, in the "United States Medical Investigator," that he treated homeopathically, in the fall and winter of 1878 to 1879, one hundred cases of diphtheria, without any deaths; duration of illness, four to five days. He rarely had to repeat the dose, and found that a single dose of a high potency acted as well in the most malignant as in the lightest cases...

How does one tell if a given remedy is having a salutary effect? According to Adolph Lippe, MD, the signs should be clear: "There is rarely an acute case of a disease in which ominous (i.e., noteworthy) symptoms do not appear almost immediately after giving a remedy, showing the close observer clearly that the dose of medicine administered begins to affect the sick. Frequently, the position of the sick at once becomes more natural, or sleep almost immediately follows, or the mental symptoms and the countenance of the sick change almost at once, or suppressed secretions are suddenly restored..."

Fascinating new paper: "The Emission of Photons by Arsenicum album 10M Suggests that Potencies are in a High-Energy, Low-Density State:

What the researchers found

The key finding was:
Ars 10M produced a sharp burst of photons when the electrical current was applied.
Controls did not.
The effect was only visible when fluorescein was present.
After electrical treatment, the potency also lost its previously observed activity against the solvatochromic dye DMABR.

The authors interpret this as evidence that:

Ars 10M contains some type of separated charge structure.
The current causes charge recombination.
Recombination releases photons.
Destroying these charge structures also destroys the potency's measurable activity.

After seven years of relentless advocacy, sleepless nights, and thousands of grassroots voices speaking up…a bill to protect homeopathy has been introduced in the Senate, S. 4692!

This is TRULY the moment we’ve been fighting for — to have our legislation introduced in both chambers. But it’s also the moment when we could lose it all if we don’t move fast.

I’m asking you to take a minute right now to tell all your members of Congress–especially your U.S. Senators to:
Support the Homeopathic Drug Product Safety, Quality and Transparency Act. (We’re calling it the Homeopathic Medicines Act for short).

We’ve written the message for you. All you have to do is click, review, and send.
Our goal is to send 90K comments to the Senate by June 15th!

Please share and tag us after you’ve submitted your comment 🙏

Your help is needed now! The clock is ticking. The Senate needs to hear from thousands of us in the next few days to know that Americans will not allow homeopathy to be erased.

Tell your Senators to support the newly introduced homeopathy legislation!

Here’s what both pieces of legislation do:
✅ Create a legal pathway for human and animal homeopathic medicines to stay on the market.
✅ Protect the full range of homeopathic remedies — current and future — that meet safety and quality standards.
✅ Stop the FDA from removing entire categories of medicines ever again, while retaining the power to remove unsafe or adulterated products.
✅ Establish safety rules tailored to the unique nature of homeopathy — just as Congress has done for supplements, compounded medicines, and medical devices.
It just takes a minute. Please take action by Monday, June 15th!!

The common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) is an essential part of people’s staple diet in Brazil and other Latin American countries. The excessive use of agrochemicals for pest and disease control negatively impacts human health, contaminates soil and water, harms biodiversity, and contributes to pest resistance.

Given these facts, Brazilian researchers conducted a study to see whether homeopathic preparations could positively impact crop yields while reducing the chemical load on the planet.

Two experiments were carried out in a greenhouse and one in the field, in a randomized block design. In the greenhouse, the preparations were used in dynamizations 7, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60CH (CH= Hahnemannian centesimal dilution order) and distilled water was used as control. In the field, the treatments were Phosphorus 48 and 60CH, Silicea terra 36 and 60CH, and distilled water as a control. In the greenhouse, application of Silicea terra 36CH increased (p< 0.05) shoot dry biomass weight (9.78 g) and leaf dry biomass weight (5.36 g), compared to control. In the field, Silicea terra 36CH and Phosphorus 60CH increased bean productivity in relation to the control. The results indicate that homeopathic preparations had a high potential for improving development and consequently increasing yield when applied to common bean plants.

Another great insight from Adolph Lippe, MD, perhaps homeopathy's greatest prescriber...

"A progressive way to find the curative remedy can be pursued, even when our best repertories do not assist us. We again resort to the illustration manner.

There are very rare chronic cases of illness in which it seems almost a hopeless task to find the similar remedy. A few prominent symptoms may be covered by a remedy and they vanish after it has been taken for a short time; a new set of symptoms sets in, and you can cover only a few of them, and the same unsatisfactory results follow. In the case alluded to, which might be diagnosticated chronic meningitis, some symptoms predominated. The headache was worse when lying down; relieved by remaining in a sitting position; when the pain increased a sensation like the globus hystericus was complained of; all the coverings of the neck felt too tight and were constantly loosened; fullness, pulsation, and beating in the head. Glonoinum, Belladonna, Gelsemium, had given relief at time; Lachesis only caused aggravation. Belladonna had given out; so had the repertories.

It now seemed as if a remedy related to Belladonna in its sick-making actions had to be found. We took up the little work of the indefatigable Bœnninghausen on Relations, and finally came to Sepia. All other related remedies did not correspond with the case before us. There we found what we had been looking for in the four hundred and seventieth and four hundred and seventy-first symptoms in the fifth volume of Hahnemann’s Chronic Diseases. Symptom 470—“Pressure in the throat, no matter how little it is covered; symptom 471—“Pressure in the throat in the region of the tonsils, as if the handkerchief were tied too tightly around the neck.”

To our not small astonishment, we found, for the first time in this case, all the symptoms of the patient under Sepia, and the benefits she received from this remedy was as astonishing as it was unexpected. In no other way than by examining the relative remedies to the one which had most benefited her could we have been enabled to find the similar. It is not often that the repertories give out, but they did in this exceptionally singular case, and we call our colleague’s attention to a progress forward to find the remedy. The Materia Medica of our school is, as we have shown, progressive, and we may further progress if we enter earnestly upon the study of the relationship existing between the proved drugs."

Another report from front-line physicians during the Great Flu pandemic of 1918-19...

Even beginners in homeopathy had reasonably good results, as Dr. A. B. Hawes of Bridgewater, South Dakota, reported: “About a month before the Spanish influenza reached Bridgewater, I commenced studying up on the subject. I heard time after time of the heavy death rate in Chicago, New York, Boston, and all over the country, and was scared stiff.

When the flu struck Bridgewater, I commenced with two homeopathic remedies, and have found no occasion to deviate there from, except that in certain conditions it has been necessary to use some of the other homeopathic remedies, and with pride I will say that so far I have treated 267 cases beginning with the commencement of the fever and have not had a case of pneumonia or a single death."

Homeopathy During the Great Flu Pandemic of 1918-19

Without exception, homeopaths reported a lower percentage of pneumonia cases across all their populations, because prompt homeopathic treatment cut short the course of influenza and prevented it from progressing to later stages or complications.

As an example, among 28 homeopathic physicians from Central Iowa, 18 answered a detailed survey, in which 5,032 cases of influenza were reported, only 137 of which developed pneumonia. “We should be proud of the small percentage that developed pneumonia, less than 3 percent, against an estimated 30 percent of the Old School."

Another interesting case from Dr. Adolph Lippe's files...

"A gentleman called for assistance on the 20th of September, 1885. For some six months his hair had been falling out in tufts on the back part of his scalp, leaving bald, smooth spots as large as a quarter of a dollar and smaller. He desired aid, so that he might finally not grow bald.

About fifty years old, he always enjoyed good health, and is at present perfectly well. No possible cause could be assigned for the peculiar falling out of the hair in spots. He was a strong homœopath, and I remembered him well, having some seven years previous waited on his six-year old boy in consultation with the late Dr. H. N. Guernsey, in a case of very malignant diphtheria. This case recovered fully under strictly homœopathic treatment.

Again, he wanted strictly homœopathic treatment. He received one single dose of Kali carbonicum CM (Fincke) on the 20th of September. He called again on the 12th day of October, and all the bald spots were covered with a new crop of hair growing splendidly.

Comments from Dr. Lippe: The case here related was by no means one of the many grave cases so often coming under treatment, but it was, nevertheless, a trying case. Apparently but one symptom presented itself, falling off of the hair in spots. The two best known remedies for this affliction are Hepar sulphur and Phosphorus. It was very desirable to detect, if possible, some other symptom which might guide the healer to find the truly homœopathic remedy.

His hair had been exceedingly dry for some months, was not turning gray. Great dryness of the hair we find under Alumina and also under Kali carbonicum, and as Kali carbonicum has produced and healed falling off of the hair, we chose this remedy. With most happy results it was administered. The most difficult task for the careful physician is the finding of the symptoms—the examination of the sick; the more meager the symptoms, the more difficult is the choice of the remedy. In this case the choice was Kali carbonicum. The second very important question is how to administer it. The safest way of administering a well-chosen remedy is to give one single dose of a well-developed potency..."
