The normal functioning of this energy ensures the state of health of an individual. Any derangement in the normal flow of this energy causes the individual to fall from his state of ease or health i.e. the individual becomes diseased.

The pattern of vital force during disease gets changed which is externally manifested as symptoms. Modern experiments show that human beings give off radiations which were first photographed in the former Soviet Union through a technique known as "Kirlian Photography" named after it's developer. Through the use of Kirlian photography it was demonstrated that the patterns of radiation differ from man to man in health as well as in disease. This finding supported Dr. Hahnemann's theory of Vital Force.

DESCRIPTION OF SIMILIA SIMILIBUS CURANTEUR: "SIMILIA SIMILIBUS CURANTEUR" or "LIKE CURES LIKE" means the very substance which will produce the symptoms of a disease in a healthy individual can be used to cure a sick person of an illness which causes similar symptoms. The similarity between the disease and the drug picture ensures that the pattern of the two energies i.e. the pattern of the deranged vital force and the pattern of the energy producing/treating capacity of the drug tally with each other, thereby neutralizing each other's effect.

DESCRIPTION OF POTENTIZATION: This therapeutic method consists of giving the patient diluted but energized (i.e. potentized) doses of the remedy on the principle of similia smilibus curanteur. The method of potentization is a process of serial dilution with vigorous shaking between each dilution. With each subsequent dilution the number of molecules of the crude substance decreases, while the vigorous shaking increases the energy of each molecule.

This principle has been scientifically supported by the fact that the French biologist Mr. Jacques Benevista and his team of 13 Canadian, Israeli and Italian Scientists have discovered that a molecule diluted until it no longer exists can behave as if it was still there and that the diluted liquid retains the molecules' "memory".

Based on the scientific principle of Similia Similibus Curanteur, when the potentized (energized) remedy is introduced into the body of the diseased individual it energizes the deranged vital force and brings it back to normal i.e. it restores the body to the state of health.

SAFETY OF THE HOMEOPATHIC SYSTEM OF MEDICINE: The curative substances used in Homeopathy are called remedies. The amount of the original active ingredient in homeopathic remedies is reduced by the decimal scale and is indicated by a number and the letter "X". The 3X potency contains 1/1000th part of the remedy, the 6X potency contains 1/1,000,000th part of the remedial agent etc.

Thus Homeopathic "high" potencies (200, 1M, 10M etc.) contain the most minute amount of the basic active ingredient, but this has been potentized by each subsequent dilution to enhance therapeutic effectiveness. The layman should not attempt to utilize these higher potencies except on the advice of a physician.

Homeopathic remedies are always referred to as "remedies" to distinguish them from crude drugs usually prescribed and sold in the ordinary corner drugstore. Even Homeopathic tinctures which carry the highest percentage of the original Homeopathic substance (lowest potency i.e. 1X as compared to 200X) are far milder and non-toxic in the amount used than crude drugs sold for the same illness.

The safety of homeopathic remedies becomes evident from the fact that in homeopathic dilutions of 6th potency (6X) and higher, no active molecule of the original drug substance is traceable in the homeopathic dilutions.

In contrast to the medicines of Allopathy (conventional western medicine), Homeopathic remedies are non-addicting and non-habit forming. When precisely indicated and prescribed at the right time, Homeopathic remedies always work and achieves the desired results to bring relief from pathological conditions.

UNIVERSAL ACCEPTANCE OF HOMEOPATHY MEDICINE: Recent evidence shows that this system of medicine has been very well accepted in countries like the USA, France, Germany, United Kingdom, Belgium, Italy, Switzerland, India etc.

The Principle of Similia Similibus Curanteur and the fact that an infinitesimally small dose stimulates the body to heal itself are well established and accepted even in Allopathy. The successful development, application and resistance building characteristic of vaccines are based upon these same Principles of Homeopathy

The growing awareness and acceptance of Homeopathic remedies as an effective adjunct, if not alternative, to conventional allopathic medicines can be gauged by the tremendous surge in the sales of Homeopathic formulations in Western Europe, the USA and Asia. In the United States, sales of Homeopathic remedies more than doubled between the years 1988 through 1992 and doubled again between the years 1992 through 1995 and are continuing to grow.

The network of institutions teaching Homeopathy around the world has been increasing. Eight medical schools in France offer 3 years educational programs leading to an advanced degree in Homeopathy. In Germany, it is mandatory for all medical students to receive some training in the natural healing sciences of Homeopathy and herbal medicine. Adding to this impressive statistics is the fact that in India alone there are more than 130 homeopathic medical colleges, which graduate approximately 8,000 homeopathic physicians annually.

Laboratory confirmation of results collected from strictly administered random clinical trials support the fact that Homeopathy is a precisely structured doctrine. Even though most Homeopathic principles and concepts have their parallels in Allopathy, Homeopathy differs from the latter science in that principles adopted by Homeopathy are mutually consistent and coherent.

These coherent and consistent ideas of homeopathy form the working principles at Nature Cure Company - one of the few firms to offer the HEALING POWER OF NATURE based on the tried and true principles of Homeopathy. The well equipped modern laboratories of Nature Cure Company's associates produce simple, safe, effective and economical Homeopathic Remedies that promote good health and well being to the consuming public.
