“Homeopathy cures a larger percentage of cases than any other method of treatment.”

them are Acupuncture, some forms of energy work, and Ho- meopathy. In fact, one of the most pressing needs of allopathic (conventional) medical care today is to stop separating the ills of the body from the ills of the spirit, human beings have irrevoca- bly intertwined bodies and minds. It is this very separation of the body from the spirit and lack of care of the soul condoned by our consumer driven lifestyle that is one major cause of depres- sion.
H Homeopaths have been addressing the body and the spirit
that lives within for over 200 years. The purpose of the homeo- pathic case taking is to find the links between the ills of the body and the causations from the deepest level of the spirit, and to find a matching substance from the natural world, potentized to make a homeopathic remedy.
