Homeopathy Treatment information from a Homeopathic Doctor

Homeopathy is a therapeutic system of medicine that is based on the principle of similars- like cures like - which means that a substance that can cause certain symptoms in a healthy person can cure similar symptoms in an unhealthy person. Homeopathy aims to aid and stimulate the body’s own defense and immune processes. Homeopathic medicines are derived from a variety of plants, animal materials and minerals. These medicines are prescribed to fit each individual’s needs, given in much smaller and less toxic doses than traditional medications, and are used for both prevention and treatment. Established 200 years ago by German physician Samuel Hahnemann, and is recognized by the World Health Organization as the second largest therapeutic system in the world.

Surgery versus Supplements

You’ve heard of celebrities undergoing Gastric Bypass, but do you know what it really is? From what I learned from 10facts.com, Gastric bypass is a form of procedure to reduce weight. It changes the entire anatomy of the digestive system and is done to promote loss of weight for people who are overweight. In fact, the stomach pouch is reduced to the size of a small egg and portions of the small intestine are bypassed in a gastric bypass surgery. It works this way: the food never enters the lower part of the stomach but goes to the duodenum and yet the stomach usually stays healthy and produces gastric juices.
