Abstract

Conventional medicine and homeopathy treat diseases differently. In traditional medicine, treatment is based on the use of drugs that act directly on the disease. In homeopathy, treatment is based on the activity of highly diluted homeopathic substances called Simillimum that cause similar symptoms in healthy individuals. This is known as the “pattern of remedy,” i.e., the homeopathic syndrome (HS). With the development of a disease equilibrium in human cells, which takes advantage of the Law of Similars, the patients are treated with Simillimum. The concentration of Simillimum, which is necessary for equilibrium at the cellular level, is extremely low and the treatment has no side effects, since only one disease equilibrium is involved in the treatment. Homeopathy treats the individual holistically, because it takes place in human cells subjected to homeostasis. The probable biomedical activity of Simillimum molecules during the treatment in human cells within the framework of molecular homeopathy is presented.

Introduction

Homeopathy works on the principle of “like cures like”, which is considered as a natural treatment and follows the tradition of natural medicine based on ancient principles. The method of treatment is aligned with the well-known Law of Similars, attributed to the earliest Greek physician Hippocrates, who observed that substances that cause disease-like symptoms in healthy individuals can be used to treat the same symptoms in sick individuals. This method of healing, based on the law of similars, has been part of human history since very early times and is part of our evolution and remains in a similar form to this day.
