My understanding of homeopathy is it gives our immune system a picture of the pathogen. Our immune system then launches an attack on the pathogen based upon the picture.

Wow, lots of people doing these nosodes. Glad to read some feedback from a few, all in one thread.

As to HOW homeopathy works, anyone who can explain it in scientific terms - and prove their assertions - will probably never be rich but they might become famous.

Maybe this will help (but probably not).

Dr. Luc de Schepper, The People's Repertory :

quote:

``A homeopathic remedy creates a similar (not the same) artificial ``disease'' picture, not the disease itself, but information about the disease which helps the body to organize its defenses. As the body's vital energy pushes back like a rebound effect against the ``shadow disease'' created by the remedy, it also pushes the actual disease from the inside to the outside.''

``As in physics, when two waves of equivalent or very similar frequency merge, the same information or patterning in both is extinguished.''

[In a discussion about preventing Lyme Disease, he later goes on to say:] ``Ledum palustre (Labrador tea) is, for example, a remedy ...[that[ cures pains arising from joint inflammation, as well as the consequences of insect stings and the bites of poisonous creatures. Thus it appeared predestined to serve as a preventative remedy that could protect against Lyme Disease.''

``By providing the knowledge of Ledum to those afflicted by ticks, the infection ceases to be bound up with the knowledge of borreliosis (which presents a quite similar mistunement of the life force, and which is thus of the same frequency.) As described above, what takes place is a neutralization of both frequencies.....

``Here again we are obliged to recognize that the infection is not of a material, but a semiotic [informational?] nature. The Lyme bacteria are the material correlate of the infections disease, but they are not the disease itself.

``The Lyme nosode is produced from a bacterial culture of Borrelia burgdorferi. Nosodes often prove useful, when infectious diseases fasten themselves upon the constitution of the patient, regardless of prevailing weaknesses.

``There is need for applied research to determine if this likewise pertains to Lyme disease. The homeopathic proving of the Lyme nosodes has not been concluded ...... so that we are not yet able to make any conclusive assertions....''
