It may be exactly the opposite! Although many allopathic practitioners and scientists label it a sham, and there is inconclusive proof about its efficacy, the fact could be that Homeopathy is based on a truth that the world has not yet grasped – water is alive and indeed has a memory! That’s why substances that no longer harbour the active ingredient – except its memory – still apparently work.
Few scientists or modern doctors are willing to buy this theory. The British Medical Association (BMA) has passed a motion denouncing the practice and saying taxpayers should not foot bills for remedies which lack scientific basis.[1] Developed by German physician Samuel Hahnemann, homeopathy is based on the law of similars – the principle that like cures like. In essence, substances that cause symptoms in a healthy person can cure the same problems in a sick person when vastly diluted. Homeopaths contend the resultant remedy retains a “memory” of the original ingredient, which scientists dismiss as hogwash.
Yet, what scientists, modern doctors and the BMA conveniently forget is that vaccination itself is based on the law of similars![2] Would they therefore conclude that immunisation is hogwash and vaccines are ineffective?!
In fact, French immunologist Dr Jacques Benveniste had conducted research that indicated water may actually have a “memory”.[3] If these findings of the late immunologist are confirmed repeatedly by others (it has been confirmed by Swiss chemist Louis Rey),[4] this will be further proof that homeopathy is indeed based on scientific principles which may be well ahead of the times.
Although other researchers are sceptical about the findings,[5] the truth will prevail sooner or later. Remember, once upon a time humans never believed that plants were living beings…
