Organon of Medicine |
|
|
First published in 1810 and revised several times by the author during many years of research into the subject, "Organon of Medicine" has remained the one essential cornerstone of homeopathy, the ultimate authority on its doctrine and practice. For everyone interested in its origins, theory and practice, "Organon of Medicine" is indispensable. "The physician's highest calling, his only calling, is to make sick people healthy—to heal, as it is termed. It is not to weave so-called systems from fancy ideas and hypotheses about the inner nature of the vital processes and the origin of diseases in the invisible interior of the organism (on which so many fame-seeking physicians have wasted their powers and time). Nor does it consist of trying endlessly to explain disease phenomena and their proximate cause, which will always elude him. Nor does it consist of holding forth in unintelligible words or abstracts and pompous expressions in an effort to appear learned so as to astonish the ignorant, while the world in sickness cries in vain for help. Surely by now we have had enough of these pretentious fantasies called "theoretical medicine," for which university chairs have been established, and it is time for those calling themselves physicians to stop deceiving poor human beings by their talk and to start acting instead—that is, really helping and healing."

As the desire for a healthier lifestyle and natural products continues, so interest in homeopathy grows. Samuel Hahnemann was the founding father of homeopathy. Born in 1755, he discovered
what he believed to be the key to curing the sick: that a patient will be cured by a medicinal substance producing the same disease symptoms in a healthy person.
