Homoeopathic remedies are made of substances
diluted many times. Very dilute substances are used to treat diseases
similar to those caused by the substance at full strength. almost any substance
can be made into homeopathic remedy.
The number of dilutions is called the potency. The
potency affects the effect of the remedy. Above a 12 c dilution, there is no
physical substance in the remedy.
12 c means the substance has been diluted one to 100
times, with 12 serial repetitions.
Between each dilution the substance is shaken or banged
on a firm surface. This is called succussion.
Veterinarians May be qualified in homeopathy
through the HPTG School in London. This course is run in Australia
every 3 years. www.hptg.com contact Doug

- Doubts as to Beneveniste's veracity have been
expressed. This paper was published and accepted well before the still running
controversy about the Nature basophil degranulation experiment.
There are doubts about the validity of the work done by the investigation team
assembled by Nature to investigate Benveniste’s research. These doubts are
described in The Emerging Science of Homeopathy, Bellavitte, P., and

c. Homeopathic Texts:
1. Boericke, W. (1927) Pocket Manual of the
Homoeopathic Materia Medica and Repertory, 1997 edition, B. Jain, San
Francisco.
2. Samuel Hahnemann wrote the original work on which
all homeopathic medicines are based. Although this is not scientific in today’s
terms, it was based on meticulously recorded multiple observations which are
reported in the homeopathic publication called Organon, the last of which
is the 6th edition published in 1833.
