With everything that I'm doing, what is difference in the full-on nutrition plan and homeopathic remedy?

There are two approaches to working with the body - one is physical and one is energetic.

Nutrition, herbs, exercise, lasers, supplements, massage, etc, do indirectly affect the energy field/Vital Force. Hahnemann even gave specifics, for his time, about foods and environments, etc, to avoid and had some recommendations for "obstacles to cure". He was saying that it may not be possible to deeply cure the energy field if there was not enough physical health/nutrition.

A homeopathic remedy is prescribed to match the individual's specific symptoms. Often we can cure animals eating a crappy diet because their individual sensitivities are not related to food. However, for long term health having a good diet seems to improve health and energy, and fresh food from local sources helps our planet as well. A homeopathic remedy, properly prescribed and the response carefully evaluated, eliminates all symptoms and lessens the chance of future symptoms.

From Samuel Hahnemann's Organon: "
The highest ideal of cure is rapid, gentle and permanent restoration of the health, or removal and annihilation of the disease in its whole extent, in the shortest, most reliable, and most harmless way, on easily comprehensible principles.



§ 3

If the physician clearly perceives what is to be cured in diseases, that is to say, in every individual case of disease (knowledge of disease, indication), if he clearly perceives what is curative in medicines, that is to say, in each individual medicine (knowledge of medical powers), and if he knows how to adapt, according to clearly defined principles, what is curative in medicines to what he has discovered to be undoubtedly morbid in the patient, so that the recovery must ensue - to adapt it, as well in respect to the suitability of the medicine most appropriate according to its mode of action to the case before him (choice of the remedy, the medicine indicated), as also in respect to the exact mode of preparation and quantity of it required (proper dose), and the proper period for repeating the dose; - if, finally, he knows the obstacles to recovery in each case and is aware how to remove them, so that the restoration may be permanent, then he understands how to treat judiciously and rationally, and he is a true practitioner of the healing art."​


Some homeopaths want the diet to be changed before the initial intake because that eliminates symptoms from the diet. Many others start both the homeopathic treatment and the improved diet, improved exercise, decreased toxins, etc at the same time.

Hope this helps.

I love Dr.Christina's post:) I think that one way to look at it, simply, is that nutrition and supplements, etc., can give the body every possible bit of help in terms of "stuff" with which to work. Homeopathy does something quite different: it stimulates the body, through the action of the carefully chosen homeopathic substance - not given to saturate or nourish, but only to suggest a response. The body acts to heal itself, not because you give it lots of raw material or food, but because the remedy points to a way to resolve its issues.

What Dr. Christina said is spot on; homeopathy can heal in a way unlike any other modality.
