Homeopathy (also spelled homœopathy or homoeopathy) from the Greek words όμοιος, hómoios (similar) and πάθος, páthos (suffering), is a system of alternative medicine that attempts to treat "like with like". The various forms of alternative medicine are used worldwide and homeopathy is particularly popular in Europe and India,Indian Ministry of Health and Family Welfare homeopathy pageFisher, P. Ward, A. "Medicine in Europe: Complementary medicine in Europe" BMJ 1994;309:107-111 although less so in the USA.Tindle HA, Davis RB, Phillips RS, Eisenberg DM "Trends in use of complementary and alternative medicine by US adults: 1997-2002" Altern. Ther. Health Med. 2005 Jan-Feb;11(1):42-9.
Homeopathy rests on the premise of treating sick persons with therapeutic agents remedies that are deemed to produce similar symptoms in a healthy individual. Its adherents and practitioners assert that the therapeutic potency of a remedy can be increased by serial dilution of the drug, combined with succussion or vigorous shaking. Homeopathy regards named diseases as misleading human constructs and instead treats each case of sickness as a strictly individual phenomenon. The term "homeopathy" was coined by the Saxon physician Christian Friedrich Samuel Hahnemann (1755–1843) and first appeared in print in 1807.Hahnemann, S. Fingerzeige auf den homöopathischen Gebrauch der Arzneien in der bisherigen Praxis. N. J. d. pract. Arzkd. (1807) 26:5-43), although he had previously outlined his theory of similars in a series of articles and monographs beginning in 1796.Hahnemann, S. Versuch über ein neues Prinzip zur Auffindung der Heilkräfte der Arzneisubstanzen, nebst einigen Blicken auf die bisherigen. [Hufeland's J. d. pract. Arzkd. (1796) 2(3):391-439) and 2(4):465-561 This article in English translation can be read here Essay on a New Principle, 1796
However, homeopathy is controversial for four reasons. Firstly, medical studies of its efficacy have not been clearly positive, and often are negative. Secondly, homeopathy is inconsistent with the known laws of chemistry since it states that dilution makes drugs more powerful by enhancing their undefined "spirit-like medicinal powers,"Christian Friedrich Samuel Hahnemann's "Organon Of Medicine" translated by Dudgeon Fifth Edition § 269 even at dilutions so high not even a molecule of the original ingredient is present. Thirdly, many homeopathic practitioners do not accept conventional diagnoses, preferring instead to view ill-health as when "the flow of energy is impeded"Karen Cohen, How Homeopaths Learn to Perceive http://www.homeopathways.com as a result of either the patient's lifestyle or shocks, mental traumas in their past and bad weather.Causation (AETIOLOGY) in homeopathy - its importance in case-takinghttp://www.lyghtforce.com/HomeopathyOnline/Issue3/sequence.html Rudolf Verspoor Taking Homeopathy into the Shadows: A Sequential Causal Approach to Treating Chronic Disease, Website: Homeopathy Online] Fourthly, people risk death if they attempt to prevent serious conditions such as malaria solely with homeopathic remedies.http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/newsnight/5178122.stmPascal Delaunay "Homoeopathy may not be effective in preventing malaria" BMJ. 2000 November 18; 321(7271): 1288
