HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINE IS A REASONABLE ALTERNATIVE WITH WESTERN MEDICINE.

THE KUHNS REPORT

LAS VEGAS- Hello America, and how is the world treating you?

From: Kathy R.: Pittsburgh, PA,

Dr. Kuhns, I'm into alternative medicine. I'm afraid of most medications. What is Homeopathic Medicine? And, is it safe?

Hello Kathy: Without boring you and going into a long diatribe on  the history of homeopathic medicine. I will just touch on a few insights.

First, to answer your questions. Yes, homeopathic medicine is a safe alternative to and in conjunction with modern Western Medicine. It was used extensively in the 1800's, especially throughout Europe.  In fact, about thirty-seven (37%) percent of present day physicians in France, still use homeopathic medicine in their modern day practice.

Kathy, present day physicians usually treat a person's symptoms with drugs that are available to them but many only treat the symptoms of the illness and/or disease. Homeopaths believe symptoms are not the disease. They tend to look at the disease or illness  as affecting the whole person. They also believe that when a person acquires a disease or is in need of medical treatment, the person's body goes to great lengths to heal itself . However, sometimes the  person's body is not strong enough to complete the healing process. So, the body needs a gentle push and effect to actually  invigorate and stimulate the person's own body defense mechanisms. Thus, homeopaths prescribes a homeopathic medicine to jump start and act as that stimulus to enhance the patients defenses in the body that will fight to have the person  recover from the illness or disease.

Western Medicine treats the symptoms, but when they do treat those symptoms they also suppress the bodies defensive army from doing it's job. Unlike homeopathic medicine.

Remember, many times, synthetic drugs put into one's body is a foreign act. The person's body feels it's under attack by some strange substance in their system and their body in turn tries to send all of their body defenses to the area of that substance to fight it off. But in reality their body defense mechanism should be fighting the disease and illness instead of trying  to rid the body of a substance it does not recognize.

For example, an infectious disease: There is no dispute that  a persons body can  and is growing a resistance to antibiotics more and more each and every day. And antibiotics tend to destroy and eradicate good beneficial bacteria in a persons body. I am not saying forget antibiotics, they serve a purpose, but I'm saying steps must be taken to stop the overdose and over prescribing of these drugs. I feel that a person can be treated with less damaging  treatments. Homeopathic medicine does just that.

Can you imagine? There has been papers written that indicate when a patient is in a hospital for treatment, that person is given anywhere from eight to twelve medications, on average, per day. And, believe it, the side effects of only one drug on  a person's body is very disturbing. But when a person is administered  numerous and/or  multi drugs, that  unknown catalyst, and synergistic effect, of those various drugs, given together,to an already weak, disorganized body is frightening --causing an upheaval in the persons body chemistry, sometimes causing more problems than the original illness or disease does.

So again, yes Kathy, consider homeopathic medicine as a safe alternative that can be used solely or in conjunction with Western Medicine, without harmful side effects. -- And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.
