The inventor of Homeopathy is basically an
allopathic doctor. Dr Samuel Hahnemann from Germany invented this system in
eighteenth century.
- There are NHS-run Homeopathic hospitals in Bristol, Liverpool,
Tunbridge Wells, Glasgow and London.
- Prince Charles is a great supporter of Homeopathy. Did you know that
Homeopathy has had royal patronage since the 1830s?
- Most of the Homeopathic text book authors were doctors of modern
medicine.
- In India, Homeopathy is the most sought after medical service after
allopathy. In India alone there are more than 200 Homeopathic medical
colleges, more than 2 lakhs of qualified Homeopathic practioners.
- Homeopathy is also used by vets to treat animals. In fact, it is
commonly used in horse racing as a lot of medication can cause the
animals to fail drug tests.
- Homeopathy started in Germany and from there has reached Canada, USA,
England, South Africa, India, France, Czechoslovakia, Sweden, Japan,
Korea, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico and other European countries? It has
spread to over eighty countries.
- Did you know that the Homeopathy forms part of the health service in
Cuba, Mexico, India and Brazil? In India, it became especially popular
after Mahatma Gandhi supposedly endorsed it.
- Mahatma Gandhi: "Homeopathy is the latest and refined method of
treating patients economically and non violently. Government must
encourage and patronize it in our country"…………….M
K Gandhi, Father of the nation.
- TAGORE: "It is not merely a collection of a few medicines, but a
new science with a rational philosophy as its base. We require more
scientific interest and enquiry in to the matter with special stress
upon the Indian environment"………………..RABINDRA
NATH TAGORE.
Research increasingly shows that the lifestyle
choices that people make can have a major effect on how they cope and
recover from illness . Right choices at every stage of your life is journey
to better health. Why, when a group of people are exposed to the same common
cold virus, do some individuals suffer a raging throat and streaming nose
while others have mild symptoms or are totally unaffected? There are no
simple answers to these questions: genes , environment and lifestyle all
play a part - and each affects the other in its own ways.
While we have little control over some factors, such as our genes and
environment there is much we can do to influence how our bodies respond, for
example, to infection, trauma and potential allergens. We can also learn to
deal with our emotions to protect our mental health.
According to Cancer Research UK, up to half of cancers could be prevented
by lifestyle changes. Emerging research shows that the same kind of changes
- avoiding cigarettes and alcohol, eating healthily and exercising - can
also affect survival rates in people who have already developed the disease.
And according to INTERHEART, (2004) study, as many as 90 per cent of first
heart attacks could be prevented by lifestyle changes. Even people with
genetic predisposition to a particular illness should not assume that the
outcome is inevitable.
Families with history of heart disease once believed that nothing could be
done to prevent successive generations succumbing to this condition, often
dying prematurely. But today those with raised cholesterol can slash the
chances of heart attack by taking appropriate medication, improving their
diet and increasing the amount of exercise they take and they should take.
Disease prevention rightly commands massive attention. But until we can
protect against every illness - an unlikely achievement - we need to
continue to focus on boosting our chances of recovery. Doctors hold some of
the keys to that process but many others are in our own hands - known
collectively as the "four pillars of health".
- Attitude - Counts
- Diet - Repairs.
- Exercise - Strengthens.
- Sleep - Heals.
Further details on this will be posted in few days.
