HOMEOPATHY
Putting bioenergy to work
By Frank J. King Jr., ND, DC

Nutrition and herbs are great therapies essential to a wellness practice. Good nutrition and herbal supplementation go hand-in-hand with chiropractic to promote good health.

You can achieve even better results with your patients, however, when you apply homeopathy to your nutritional regimen.

You get better results because nutrition works on a biochemical level, whereas homeopathy works on a bioenergetic level. Just like chiropractic, it corrects nerve interferences throughout the whole nervous system.

THE POWER OF POTENTIZATION

Homeopathy works through intensive potentization — the process of serial dilutions and succussions of a substance many times. This process creates both nano-sized ingredients that function within the cell, as well as a submolecular range of ingredients that balance the body’s complex neurohormonal control networks.

Homeopathically potentiated nutritional and herbal remedies also increase cellular absorption of nutrients by an average of 30 percent and eliminate potential allergic responses and/or toxic effects of exposure to certain substances.

Homeopathically potentiated nutrients correct the many underlying metabolic aberrations within the body by providing the complex metabolic signaling necessary for the body to recognize and utilize a substance and maintain optimal homeostasis of the nutrients.

The result is that if a substance is too low in the body, it will rise up to optimal levels. Or, if a substance is too high in the body, it will be lowered to optimal healthy levels.

When you apply homeopathic potentiations of the specific herbs and nutrients you are prescribing, you increase their therapeutic abilities and safety by activating their regulatory and homeostatic control networks.

PRAGMATIC EXAMPLES

Here are a few pragmatic examples of how homeopathy works:

• Colds and flu. Echinacea angustifolia is a well-documented herbal supplement known for its immune-enhancing qualities when taken at the beginning of a cold or flu.

It encourages the body to build up antibodies to fight the infection. When you add appropriate homeopathic remedies to the course of therapy, the remedies reduce the symptoms of the cold or flu and help clear nerve interferences throughout the body, so the body can naturally restore immunity to such infections in the future.

Additional homeopathic potentiations of Echinacea enhance its therapeutic abilities.

• Allergies and hay fever. Allergies and hay fever can be best corrected with a multidisciplinary approach that includes chiropractic, homeopathy, nutrition, herbs, diet, detoxification, and lifestyle management.

Goldenseal, red sage, nettles, and goldenrod are often used to help eliminate mucous, and astringents, such as yarrow and myrrh, help contract inflamed tissues and reduce secretions and discharges.

Homeopathic solutions for allergies trigger the body’s natural ability to heal itself. Hay fever sufferers have been known to reduce or prevent their reactions by beginning a course of homeopathic pollen supplements a few months before the pollen count rises.

In addition to the standard homeopathic approach, the homeopathic potentiations of the specific herbs and nutrients used help them work better and safer.

•Reactions to allopathic drugs. Allopathic drugs are conventionally used to obtain a therapeutic effect in a patient. Unfortunately, the use of allopathic drugs at conventional concentrations often results in diverse side effects, toxic reactions, allergic reactions, and negative drug interactions.

Homeopathic potentiations of allopathic drugs can help neutralize the diverse side effects (toxicities and allergies) and modulate a healthier response to allopathic drugs as well.

• Hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Hormones play a significant role in almost every health condition — not only sexually related issues. The way people think, their moods, and general physical health all depend on the body’s ability to maintain a delicate hormonal balance.

HRT is based on the assumption that the body cannot produce a healthy amount of hormones necessary for a person’s related phase of life.

Homeopathic potentizations of the associated glandular extracts, the actual hormones, and other associated homeopathic ingredients can help correct the underlying cause of hormonal imbalances. These potentizations help complement either synthetic or natural HRT to work more safely and more effectively, correct genetic predispositions to hormonal imbalances, and help correct the deeper mental and emotional issues that can cause oppressions of certain glands and imbalances in hormonal production.

Homeopathy and chiropractic, supplemented by herbs, nutrition, diet, lifestyle, and exercise, create the most powerful healing forces to help restore the chiropractor as the number one natural healthcare provider in the new competitive world of wellness.
