More Support for Combination Remedies

Check out this article by Dana Ullman, a respected natural medicine advocate who has dedicated much of his life to researching, manufacturing, and distributing homeopathic remedies, much like Dr. King. I found this article to be well written and very balanced, unlike much of the literature out there that claims combination homeopathy is utterly useless and the only path to health is through classical homeopathy. Clearly there are arguments both for and against this contemporary combining of remedies into "super remedies" but to throw the baby out with the bathwater just because Hahnemann wasn't convinced of the merits of combination remedies over a hundred years ago seems short sighted and close minded.

Here's a link to the article. It seems that some of us might just be ahead of the game with regards to these combination homeopathic remedies...

The growing acceptance of combination remedies

The online homeopathic community seems quite full of those who follow the traditional, or classical, homeopathic approach. In fact, I'm hard pressed to find much information about these combination, or contemporary, homeopathic remedies that I haven't actively asked for in a forum or otherwise. Is it that this type of homeopathic remedy is so new that people haven't seen it being used? Or is it a traditional homeopathic's bias away from anything that wasn't specifically incorporated into Hahnemann's repetoire?

Even Hahnemann looked into the combination remedies as a potential new source of healing. Many of the more open-minded homeopaths I've connected with realize that these contemporary remedies have shown themselves to be very effective in acute conditions. And when pressed what they would rather use in an acute crisis, they would much rather use a combination homeopathic remedy than the potentially toxic pharmaceuticals given in our hospitals.

It looks like the next step for our powerful contemporary remedies would be to begin "proving" their efficacy in the homeopathic lab. I'm just learning what this process entails, but it looks like something that is beyond my means. I'm hoping that one of my readers might be able to help connect me with other homeopaths that would be interested in proving some of King Bio's combination contemporary remedies.

I know the power of these remedies. I can't wait to share them with the rest of the world.

Research on combination homeopathic remedies

As many of you know, I've been working with King Bio for the last little bit. I did some writing with Dr. Frank King back in 1998 when we published a little "Guide to Homeopathy." It was enlightening and invigorating working with Dr. King and sharing his vision.

Now, I've become the Public Relations guy for the company. It's a great feeling working to spread the good news about homeopathy and King Bio specifically. I've been trying hard to create an online presence in the homeopathic world, posting on forums, reading and submitting articles to journals, and generally getting a feel for what the current state of homeopathy is.

Now I've been asked to write an article on current research and theory behind the combination remedies being produced by Dr. King at King Bio. Quite exciting news, this is! Since I know so little about how Dr. King first developed his homeopathic remedies over twenty years ago, I look forward to some lively discussions with him over the next couple of weeks as I try to write this challenging (and rewarding!) article.

I promise to keep you informed as the research and theory comes in!
