Allopathic Medicine vs. Homeopathic Medicine

Allopathy is the traditional Western medical system that divides the body into a collection of individual organs and systems, each of which has its own specialist (podiatrist, neurologist, cardiologist, psychiatrist, etc.). Homeopathic Medicine is just one part of the diversity of the Heilkunst (Whole Art) medical system, founded almost 200 years ago by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, who observed that his patients responded best when he treated the whole person.

Heilkunst medicine is based on the principal of likes cure likes and it also uses the law of opposites. For example, a patient suffering from vitamin C deficiency is encouraged to take an assimilable vitamin C to help bring the body back into vitamin C balance. Properly prescribed homeopathic remedies work on the law of similars and cure true diseases such as anger, fear, guilt, and grief. Homeopathic remedies are micro doses derived naturally from plants, animals, and minerals–and are without toxic side effects. Allopathic medical practice is not based on any principal and it mostly treats conditions, not true diseases, by the use of Allopathic drugs to suppress the symptoms. Allopathic medications are usually large doses of synthetic chemicals and they all have toxic side effects that can damage the liver and kidneys.

A Heilkunst practitioner considers all aspects of the patient’s life—physical, environmental, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Allopathic practitioners are usually trained to look only at the parts of the body that falls within their speciality. Allopathic medical practice does not recognize that each patient is unique and tends to give identical treatments to any patient with a particular set of surface symptoms (e.g. pain killers for arthritis). Heilkunst medical practice recognizes that each patient must be treated according to his or her unique circumstances, with a treatment plan that takes into account each patient’s specific needs.
