Homeopathic Nosodes

The principles of homeopathy began around 1790. Having graduated from medical school and not agreeing with the practices of purging, bloodletting, and the use of toxic chemicals to cure disease, Dr. Samuel Hahnemann began his quest of treating disease through the law of "similars".



A Nosode (meaning "from disease" in Greek) is a homeopathic preparation used to prevent or treat disease. By attenuating bacteria, ova, parasites, viruses, or fungi, the body can use these substances to become immune without contracting the disease. These homeopathic nosodes have been clinically used and proven long before the introduction of vaccines. In fact, there were over 22 homeopathic medical schools in the United States (including Boston University, New York Medical College, and Stanford University) until 1920 when pharmaceutical companies and the AMA began to suppress the success of homeopathic remedies.




Although the United States experienced this decline in interest in homeopathic remedies in the early 20th century, other nations in Europe and Asia were experiencing a steady growth of homeopathic teachings and interest. As of today, homeopathy is popular in Russia, India, Switzerland, Mexico, Germany, France, Netherlands, Italy, England, and various countries throughout South America.




Homeopathy and the use of nosodes is on the rise again in the United States. Explore the possibilities of health and disease prevention through homeopathic support!
