HOMEOPATHY
Homeopathy- An Overview
Written by Debbie Edson RPh
Homeopathy is a system of medicine based upon the phenomenon that substances, which cause a particular illness in healthy individuals at high doses, can be used to cure or mitigate similar symptoms when given in very small doses.
History
In 1790 a German physician named Samuel Hahnemann, distressed by the toxic medical methods of his day, abandoned the practice of medicine. At the time, the primary arsenals of medicine were bloodletting with leaches, and the use of toxic metals. Hahnemann was a linguist and, to support his large family, he went to work as a translator.

When Andrew, a third grader, was having difficulty at school, his mother requested a teacher conference and was told her son fails to pay attention in class, disrupts his fellow students and is often found daydreaming or passing notes during important class discussion. The teacher described his pattern as consistent with Attention Deficit Disorder.
ADD and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) refer to behaviors relating to inattention, impulsivity and/or hyperactivity.
