D isease patterns have changed in recent times. Ninety percent of the healthcare challenges that doctors see in their practices are a result of chronic, degenerative diseases, either in early or late stages. We are treating in an acute-care model, which is the opposite of prevention. Unfortunately, most people pay attention to their bodies and seek help only when they can no longer ignore their symptoms, due to pain and restricted movement. They want relief—fast! Everyone wants to sec the doctor who can correct the chronic, recurring conditions that others cannot. If this is the kind of doctor you want to be. then keep reading. Doctor of the Past—Medicine of the Future About the time the Declaration of Independence was being signed in what we now call the United States of America, a young man fluent in multiple languages was studying medicine at a famous German university. After he graduated and went into practice, he observed how the so-called "medicines" of his day killed more patients than they helped. The young Samuel Hahncmann. MD. believed in the life-giving properties of nature, and spoke out against the use of bloodletting, leeches, and toxic chemicals such as mercury. He was met with extreme resistance to using anything but the orthodoxy of the day. (Sound familiar?) Hahncmann became disillusioned, and abandoned the practice of medicine to live in poverty while translating medical texts. While doing this work, he discovered thai a medicine could be made both potent and nontoxic by preparing it in a special way. He called this new medicine "homeopathy." meaning "similar suffering." because it is based on the well-known pharmacological law: "like cures like." or the law of similars. Homeopathy is Energy Medicine A homeopathic remedy is created by taking one part of a medicinal substance, diluting it with nine parts of water, and shaking it vigorously a certain number of times (a process called succussion) to "potcnlize" the remedy. That remedy is now called a IX potency (using the Roman numeral fortcn to express 1:10). To create a higher potency, we take one part of that mixture, dilute it wilh another nine parts of water, and succuss it. One drop of that is a 2X. You can sec how much energy goes into creating an LM potency (1:50.000). In general, lower potencies work on the more superficial realms of the body, such as skin, liair. and muscles. Midrange potencies work more deeply on the body at the level of organs, glands, and tissues. Higher potencies work deeply, even on the level of the mind and emotions, which is often the root cause of physical symptoms. The higher the potencies go. the more diluted the original substance becomes, and yet the remedy still works. Homeopathy is energy medicine. It acts deeply and quickly, often bringing relief in seconds to minutes. Being the Doctor of the Future...Today The doctor who can make a significant difference in chronic, recurrent problems is the doctor of the future. As chiropractors, we can make that significant difference. We must expand our boundaries with the obvious reali/a- tion that nerve interference occurs beyond the spine. The vast network of the nervous system is busy with its reflexes and intricate relay mechanisms, and the majority of it (80%) functions outside the spinal column. In his book. The Chiropractor s Adjuster. D. D. Palmer stated: "...As soon as the human mind is capable of absorbing a still more refined and advanced method and human inspiration demands it. it will be delivered... A few years ago. it was thought impossible to send a telegram without using a stretched wire from post to post to convey it from one point to another. Today... messages are sent thousands of miles... without the need of posts or wire. Is it too much to expect a similar development, along chiropractic lines, to be awaiting our beck and call?" I have found that homeopath} is a complementary "refined and advanced method." not to replace chiropractic, but to greatly assist all doctors in helping their patients. The nervous system is more sensitive than we can imagine. Consider the fact that a dog"s nose is so sensitive that it can detect a scent from a quarter mile away, even though the nanoparticlcs of scent arc hugely "diluted" in the vast quantity of atmosphere surrounding them. Homeopathic medicine, in spite of being highly diluted and potcntized. works, and it works in ways concentrated substances cannot. The body responds and overcomes the illness—with no negative side effects! Be Honest... Does the chiropractic adjustment, as we know it today, truly correct the underlying cause in all cases of disease? Honestly, in how mam cases have adjustments been a temporary Band-Aid treatment until your patient becomes either a chiropractic junkie or drops off in disappointment due to repeated visits, financial stress, or lack of permanent results? As chiropractors wanting to positively impact the world, we must utilize tools to correct nerve interference throughout the whole nervous system. In my search for natural ways to balance all this interference outside the parameters of the spine, nothing has shown the comprehensive ability to correct as homeopathy has. The Homeopathy/Chiropractic Connection The success of our great profession, chiropractic, stands on its foundational principles. For these principles to be all- encompassing, we should be getting the same positive results with chronic conditions that we do with the musculoskclctal side of our practice. Homeopath} provides the chiropractor with that missing link—the ability to treat the whole nervous system. Homeopathy and chiropractic concur in philosophy, mode of action, and effectiveness. Philosophy - The body is a self-healing organism. Heal ing occurs when proper communication is established in the nervous system. Symptoms are the body's own intelligent way of asking for help. Our purpose is to help the body express health, not mask or suppress this phenomenon. Mode of Action - To assist the body's own natural healing capabilities through the nervous system. Heal ing occurs from the head down; the inside out: and in the reverse order of occurrence (Hcring"s law of cure). Effectiveness - We know how effective chiropractic is. However, in my experience, homeopathy has the most profound effect on the nervous system, often providing symptomatic relief within minutes or even seconds of taking a remedy. Even chronic, recurring subluxation complexes can be quickly corrected with homeopathy. These principles go back not just to chiropractic, but back more than 200 years to Dr. Samuel Hahncmann. the founder of homeopathy. Even Constantine Hcring, MD, (Hering"s law of cure) was a homeopath. In spite of opposition, centuries later, homeopathy is now the second most popular form of health care in the world. Homeopathy offers the chiropractor the most effective, tried, clinically proven and researched system of adjunctivc treatment. For the past 25 years, we have helped other doctors implement the effective energy medicine called homeopathy. Our goal was to transform a very complex and time-consuming art into a simplified, streamlined, efficient system to harness the healing power of homeopathy in order to turn around today's healthcare crisis. Doctors tell us we succeeded. I encourage you to hold a larger vision for chiropractic and expand your boundaries as a doctor of the whole person. Equip yourself to more completely clear nerve interferences throughout the whole person by bringing homeopathy into your practice.
