Homoepathic researchers have discussed everything from fractal geometrics involving molecules of water and magnetite, to stress responses to the remedy, where heat shock proteins are used as an example. Although homeopathic research is in its infancy regarding mechanism of action, clinical trials have indicated that the remedies do work, despite the fact that the mechanism is unclear. Because homeopathy seems to work at the subatomic and, potentially, molecular genetic levels, rather than the pharmacologic level, the methods for diagnosing and treating disease are entirely foreign to traditional medical thought. Homeopathy is said to treat the patient, not the disease. There are between one and two thousand homeopathic remedies from which to choose when a prescription is made, and the trained homeopath must be familiar with them to find the one that best matches a patient's symptoms.
Homeopathic remedies are very inexpensive and virtually free of side effects.
In conventional medicine, the medications often suppress signs of the disease without actually ridding the body of the susceptibility that caused the problem in the first place. Perhaps this is one of the reasons for the increasing popularity of homeopathy. Homeopathy is a well accepted and popular form of therapy in most parts of the world, for all species. People are beginning to look for nontoxic, tonifying medications because they have seen the failure of conventional medicine in treating chronic, crippling diseases such as allergies, migraines, back pain, and depression. In using homeopathic and other holistic treatment options in addition to any required conventional therapies for a sick pet, you are providing additional, complementary aids that will help an animal become strong again.
