What is
homoeopathy?
Homoeopathy is a branch of medicine and healthcare which
treats 'like with like'.
Who was Samuel Hahnemann?
Samuel Hahnemann (1755 - 1843) a German physician is the
founder of homoeopathy.
What's the philosophy of homoeopathy?
Homoeopathy
is a holistic form of healthcare. It looks at the whole person in its
assessment of a particular condition or disease. Its aim is to treat
the whole person, body, mind and spirit.
What is the Vital Force?
It is the view that there exists a form of life force in
the living organism over and beyond the physical body.
What is Classical Homoeopathy?
Classical Homoeopathy is based on a single source material
at a single potency.
What is Combination or Complex Homoeopathy?
Combination or Complex Homoeopathy is a mixture of two or
more potencies from different source materials.
What is Homotoxicology?
Homotoxicology
is the branch of homoeopathy which offers a solution, a toxic defense
to the human organism, which was developed by a German doctor, Heinrich
Reckeweg.
Who was Dr. W.H. Schuessler?
He founded Biochemic Remedies according to the
homoeopathic principle which became known as the '12 Tissue Salt
Remedies'.
How are homoeopathic medicines prepared?
Homoeopathic
medicines are diluted either according to the decimal scale (described
as either X or D) or according to the centesimal scale (described as
C). For the decimal scale one part of the mother tincture is diluted in
nine parts of alcohol and water. This gives a 1x potency. One
part of 1x is taken and added to a new nine parts
alcohol/water
mix with a resulting 2x. This process continues until the product is
made up to the desired potency that is required.
For the
centesimal scale one part of mother tincture is diluted in ninety nine
parts of alcohol and water. This give a 1c potency. One part
of
1cx is taken and added to a new ninety nine parts alcohol/water mix
with a resulting 2c. This process continues until the product is made
up to the desired potency that is required. After each dilution the
shaking process - the succussion - adds 'energy' to the substance.
What source materials are used for the preparation of homoeopathic
medicines?
Vegetable matter - All parts of plants (root, stem, bark,
leaf, fruit or sap).
Animal matter - e.g. of porcine or bovine source as well as e.g. snake
venom.
Mineral matter - e.g calcium from rock or crude oil.
What is maceration?
Maceration
is the process used by which the original material is converted to a
tincture which is referred to as the Mother Tincture. At the end of the
maceration process products are usually filtered to remove any
remaining particulate matter.
What are Xenobiotics?
Xenobiotics
are used for the detoxification or the elimination of toxins and
toxicants. 'Xeno' meaning 'foreign' and 'bio' meaning 'life'.
Those remedies stimulate the vital force within the body to detoxify
and cleanse itself.
The
Xenobiotic remedies are safe to use. They are effective and produce
rapid results. Care is required in prescribing, particularly in cases
of severe and chronic illness. In such cases layered detox is
recommended. Organ support, in conjunction with or prior to detox will
help with aggravation and avoid a healing crises. Organ support is
critically important in cases of severe and multiple toxic conditions
and should be supported with the New Vistas Liquescences, which are
designed to compliment the Xenobiotics.
What are Liquescences?
The
Liquescences are potentised remedies designed specifically to treat
organs that have been stressed as a result of toxicity and that have
been weakened due to poor nutrition. In this condition organs are
unable to absorb or utilise the nutrient from foods, from vitamins,
minerals or herbs in their original or gross form. Administering
specialised supplements to such organs is wasteful.
The
Liquescences will help rebuild and strengthen the organ, enabling it to
function as nature intended. This is an ideal therapy for the treatment
of stressed organs prior to and during the detoxification process.
Liquescences come in liquid form to maximise effectiveness as the
greater surface area will help trigger the digestive system for greater
absorption. These remedies are safe for people of all ages including
children. they are particularly suitable for the elderly and those in
ill health.
In addition to their function to restore health to
stressed organs, the Liquescences are ideal tonics for use on an
ongoing basis so as to maintain optimum health and vitality. They can
be used in combination with each other or with other homoeopathics or
conventional medication.
What are System and Mineral Liquescences?
This
range focuses on the practical utilisation of homoeopathy in the form
of nutritional deficiencies and imbalances. Schuessler developed the
concept of the Cell Salts in potentised form, as a means of treating
and preventing disease.
What are Nosodes?
Nosodes
are homoeopathic preparations of diseased tissue, derived from extracts
of pathological materials or pathogenic cultures and can be of animal
or human origin. They are used to treat a disease, a miasm or an
associated disease of the tissue material.
What are Sarcodes?
Sarcodes
are homoeopathic preparations of healthy animal tissue such as organs
or glands. These preparations are used as nutritional remedies to treat
and support the respective organs.
What are Allersodes?
Homoeopathic
preparations, prepared from routine allergens whose presence in the
environment or in the food chain cause problems for people. The
administration of this type of remedy is designed to reduce the
sensitivity of people to a particular allergen. Examples would be
grass, pollen, dairy products, house dust mites or animal hair which
are usually presented as a homochord, a mix of potencies.
How can homoeopathy help children?
New
Vistas offer a special Kiddies Range which focuses on acute and chronic
conditions that occur and reoccur regularly. Homoeopathy is
particularly suited to children. It promotes growth and development in
a variety of ways and can be used for all ages from shortly after birth.
What are Flower Essences?
Flower
Essences are dilute extracts from specific flowers to purify emotional
pathways disolving negative emotional and mental patterns bringing
about health and wholeness in mind, body and spirit.
What are the rules when taking Homoeopathic Remedies?
In general the following rules apply for the
administration of liquid homoeopathic medicines:
- Place drops under the tongue and hold for approx. 20
seconds before swallowing.
- Take nothing by mouth 20 minutes prior to or following
dosage. This includes food, drink, cigarettes, toothpaste etc.
- Digestive organ remedies, i.e. pancreas, liver, gall
bladder and stomach should be taken 20 minutes before meals.
-
Limit intake of caffeine or nicotine in any form, such as tea, coffee,
chocolate and cigarettes. If necessary use one hour after taking a
homoeopathic.
- Limit mint in any form, such as sweets, toothpaste and
mouthwash.
-
Use no camphor, as in muscle and joint rubs. Avoid mothball fumes.
Limit breathing of strong smells such as paint thinner, eucalyptus and
cigarette smoke.
- If dental drilling or trauma to the mouth occurs, use
topically for 48 hours.
-
Alcohol sensitivities: If a person is sensitive to alcohol, put the
drops into a glass (90ml) of warm water. Allow one minute for the
alcohol to evaporate.
- Homoeopathics may generally be taken at the same time with
other suggested homoeopathics.
- Keep homoeopathics out of direct sunlight and x-rays.
Are there any exceptions to these rules?
The
New Vistas Liquescence Range may be taken with/ after meals either
alone or with juice. Liquescences should however be taken 20 minutes
apart from other homoeopathics, but can be taken at the same time with
other recommended Liquescences, except for Fatty Acid and Thyroid
Liquescence which should be taken separately.
We recommend to refrigerate Liquescences once opened.
How many homoeopathic remedies can be taken at any one time?
This
differs from person to person depending on your level of toxicity or
nutritional need. Your practitioner will specify your needs and this
may also include tinctures or supplements.
Are there any rules regarding how many Xenobiotics can be taken
together?
Generally
not, but BAC, VIR and FNG should not be ALL taken over the same time.
You may take any two of these three at the same time.
What if symptoms persist?
Homoeopathic
remedies are designed to work as complementary and supportive to
standard medical therapies. They are not meant as a replacement. If
symptoms persist or if pregnant or lactating, consult a medical doctor.
If
conditions persist and the patient is not responding properly to the
homoeopathic program, we encourage the Practitioner to make other
referrals so that the condition will not deteriorate.
What if symptoms grow in intensity and what are provings?
Provings
are a symptom caused by a homoeopathic, usually mild in appearance. If
the homoeopathic is terminated and symptoms abate in 24 hours, it could
be a proving. If symptoms continue after 24 hours, then it is unlikely
they were caused by a homoeopathic. When symptoms grow in intensity of
for prolonged length of time it is an indication of a more serious
problem - please consult your doctor.
Does the colour of the mercury filling give any indication of the
body’s need for a detox?
Yes,
some reports indicate a detox is required in cases where the filling
has turned black/dark in colour. Amalex is the remedy, but it should
also be used periodically as a detox for the amalgam.
Why are Addex and/or Opsin I recommended for hyperactivity in children?
Because
there is a link between food additives and hyperactivity in children,
the above two products help detox these additives from the body thus
reducing incidence of hyperactivity.
Why did my practitioner recommend Opsin II for hay fever?
Opsin II helps detox inhalant allergies from the body
including pollen which causes hay fever.
My
doctor diagnosed ‘sub therapeutic’ hypothyroidism (under active
thyroid) and so, I saw my Kinesiologist. He recommended Thyroid
Liquescence. I have been taking this for 3 weeks now and feel much
better.
Firstly, you will not develop an
overactive thyroid by taking Thyroid Liquescence but it is advised to
keep appointments with the Kinesiologist as he will monitor the dosage
required which is likely to decrease as you improve. Secondly, this is
not recommended for over active thyroidism. In that case practitioners
recommend HET.
My
daughter suffers from CF (Cystic Fibrosis) and our homoeopath has
prescribed Mucous Liquescence. Is this generally beneficial for her
respiratory tract or digestive tract? Is this specific to CF sufferers?
Both,
Mucous Liquescence helps effectively dissolve excess mucous anywhere in
the body therefore including both the respiratory and digestive tracts.
It is not specific to CF sufferers, it is prescribed for any mucous
related conditions.
I don’t wish to take HRT, I was prescribed Female Liquescence. Could
this be an error as I thought this product was for PMT?
No,
there is no error as Female Liquescence is recommended for an ‘A-Z’
range of female hormonal related imbalances including dysmennorhoea
(painful periods), infertility, endometriosis, irregular periods, PMT,
acne and menopausal symptoms. There are also other remedies in the
range as alternatives to HRT. You may need to speak to your
practitioner to establish what suits you best.
