Original vs. Modern Homeopathics
There are two classifications of homeopathics, classical and complex. Complex homeopathics are remedies generated by electronic methods, while classical remedies are made the original way, by manual dilution as described with the arsenic sample above. Yes it takes a long time. Technology has improved to such a degree that master samples such as those found in the TBA Kits` have been made and can be transferred into remedies electronically. People who practice classical homeopathy have little respect for complex homeopathy in most cases, but people who practice medication have little respect for either. Respect should not be the goal -results and help for humanity are much more important. Homeopathy is under attack, like most alternative practices, because it does not have medical regulations. That generally means that it helps people without compensation to the pharmaceutical companies.

One of the advantages to complex homeopathy is that we can combine ingredients to make custom remedies. Classical homeopaths strictly believe that the right single remedy should do the trick. If that works for others, that is fine, certainly nothing wrong with it, but the body is currently fighting more than 100,000 toxins and poisons it was never intended to have to battle. The way I will be describing use of the classical kit allows you to combine a classical remedy with a body part, nutrient or toxin so that the body gets particular information on what to do with the remedy used.

What is the potency of a homeopathic?
Homeopathics are generally made from plants, minerals and poisons. The strength of a homeopathic remedy is generated according to the number of times it has been diluted and succussed during the preparation process. The words diluted, succussed and potentized are often used interchangeably. Potency is represented as a number attached to a remedy name. You will see something like “12x” or “30x”. You don’t generally find letters other than “x” for retail sale, but homeopathy also uses the letters “c” and “m”.

The traditional way of making a homeopathic medicine would be as follows: Let’s say that you wanted to make a homeopathic of the poison arsenic. You would obviously need a small sample of the item you want to antidote. Along with the sample of arsenic, you will need some pure water and several very clean, small glass bottles (one ounce is a good standard) with a secure top that will allow for vigorous shaking. If possible, some pure alcohol, ethanol is the purest, but most people use vodka, is added to the water as a natural disinfectant. Not much, perhaps 5 to 10 percent of your solution. Fill one of your ounce bottles about 9/10ths of the way with your water/vodka solution. Now let’s take a very small sample of the arsenic and place it in the water. Place the cap on your bottle, take the sample and bang it against the palm of your hand at a rapid pace about 50 times. This is called succussion or trituration.

The movement produced in succession forces the molecules of arsenic to spread into the molecules of water. Shaking will not achieve the same process; you must succuss the remedy. The amount of the original substance in a homeopathic remedy is reduced by the decimal scale and is indicated by a number and the letter (“x”, “c”, “m”). The initial dilution we made in the example would be 1x. If you ingest a 1x potency, you are still getting the actual substance in the remedy. If you take a drop from that bottle with the sample of arsenic that has been succussed and place it in a new bottle of water with vodka, you will have 2x after succession. Continue to repeat this process, taking one drop out of the last sample made and placing it into pure water/vodka or a mother solution and the numbers will continue to increase. A 3x potency means there are three parts of the remedy with nine parts of water. A “c” would mean there is one part of the original substance with 99 parts of water. An “m” means there is one part of the original substance with 999 parts of water.

Homeopathy follows rules set in quantum physics, not chemistry.
Most of us are first trained in basic chemistry which logically assumes that the higher the dilution of any substance, the less potent it will become. This is true if you do nothing but straight mixing. When you succuss an agent, the memory of all the properties in that agent, or item, become ingrained in the molecules of water. It is interesting that by 6x – 8x, chemical analysis generally finds no traces of the original substance, arsenic in this case. The remedy is purely energetic. The higher up the decimal scale we go in homeopathy, the stronger the remedies get. In other words, the more diluted, the more effective they become.

You can see that lack of understanding in the field of energetics would make people very skeptical of homeopathy. High potencies (C range and M range) remedies can create critical symptoms if one does not know how to use them properly. On the flip side, homeopathic remedies are perfectly safe. While a remedy or medication might create horrible side effects, the wrong homeopathic in a high dose would only initiate symptoms for a short time. Symptoms brought on by a homeopathic, often referred to as a healing crisis, is not initiated by a chemical reactions but immune responses. This is not harmful to the body, so the worst case scenario with homeopathic remedies is no help at all. You cannot harm the body.
