The Peterson Group and Homeopathy: Understanding Its Essential Approach

1. The Peterson Group and Homeopathy: Understanding Its Essential Approach

2. Although it was discovered and introduced by a German doctor only within the last two centuries, homeopathy has attracted many practitioners and believers. Still, not many know what it really is and what benefits it offers to people with medical problems.

3. Let us look at some of its essential characteristics and the specific advantages it offers to people in general.

4. Homeopathy is defined as “a complete system of medicine which aims to promote general health, by reinforcing the body's own natural healing capacity” and is “a branch of medical science concerned with symptoms of diseases”.

5. Specifically, it “means that a substance that can cause certain symptoms in a healthy person can cure similar symptoms in an unhealthy person”. Furthermore, “homeopathy aims to aid and stimulate the body's own defense and immune processes”.

6. We can see at least two primary factors involved in the process of this form of healing or medical practice: immunity and symptoms

7. We all know that the body has natural healing capacity; that is, the design of any organism includes the innate ability not simply to grow and even reproduce its own kind but also the power to maintain an optimum level of healthy existence to a certain limit determined by cellular processes.

8. Homeopathy, therefore, considers every factor and how the individual reacts to the environment and all the stimuli that may bring about an imbalance in the body’s various functions.

9. The natural cycle of living does not incorporate sickness as a natural consequence, although it may often occur. That is why, homeopathy, “does not have treatments for diseases but it has remedies for people with diseases”.

10. What other advantages does homeopathy have over conventional medicine? Homeopathy utilizes the senses to investigate symptoms of a disease. Listening carefully to the patient is the first step toward discovering what is happening in the patient’s body.

11. The whole purpose I this exercise is to maintain the patient’s individuality and not look at him or her as just another cancer patient who needs a blast of radiation for a growing tumor, for instance. The tumor is in itself a symptom that was brought about by the person’s particular habits, attitude and environment.

12. Removing the tumor will not always remove those causes that brought it along. It makes more sense than to remove the causes in order to remove the symptom. But removing the symptom alone will not necessarily remove the causes.

13. This homeopathy review illustrates how homeopathy works and shows the simplicity in which the process is done. Of course, the major part is knowing what medication is needed for particular symptoms. It takes years for homeopaths to learn what works for what.

14. However, its practitioners assure us that homeopathy works to “restore health rapidly, gently, permanently; to remove and destroy the whole disease in the shortest, surest, least harmful way, according to clearly comprehensive principles".

15. The Peterson Group in Jakarta and Malaysia has promoted homeopathy as one of the practices under CAM (Complimentary, Alternative & Integrative Medicine) and has helped to promote holistic healing among so many people throughout Asia and the rest of the world.
