Hahnemann On Vet Homeopathy and Sustainability

[Dr. Jeff]

Hi @everyone-
Here's some super wonderful text about the sure path of nature from of an address by the founder of homeopathy (Dr. Samuel Hahnemann):

Hahnemann on healing of animals, people and indigenous healing wisdom

"...No one will dispute my contention that veterinary medicine in general must be considered in a similar manner
as medicine for humans, and that the same ideals govern the former as the latter. They are first: the exact observation of
any given case of illness in the suffering animal and second: the careful investigation into the pure effects of known medicaments on the various kinds of healthy domestic animals, in order to gain insight into the morbid changes each medicine is capable of producing in the state of the healthy animal; so that for each given case of illness in an animal, we may select from this store of positive, pure effects, a remedy that produces similar suffering in the healthy animal, and will thus become the surest, fastest and most helpful remedy for the illness at hand. For it is only through their tendency to induce similar suffering that medicines can overrule a given illness in the animal body, extinguish it and, in one word, cure certainly and permanently.

This is nature's path and the purest and most reliable experiences bear it out. This law of nature is infallible and there are no exceptions to it— so few that it is the only way by which we can expect to establish a reliable science of healing for humans and animals alike.

Since this approach is irrefutably correct, as true and well- founded as any truth that can be found outside the realm of
the mathematical sciences, I would like to first of all try to clear the path of the obstacles that might stand in the way of
your introduction to this procedure. Afterwards, I will show you how this method can be put into practice. The greatest
difficulty in the execution of this approach is its novelty.

Man is accustomed to follow his habits. This tendency was implanted in us originally for our own good. It facilitates all
of man's labors in an exquisite, beneficial manner in all cases in which traditional procedures have their foundations in nature and truth. In this case, and only in this case, the master is certain of the art of his trade, certain that his work must succeed, provided he follows the traditional approach exactly.

It is thus that the master builder is confident of his success when he constructs his edifice from the best materials known,
according to certain rules based on reasoning and experience, and according to the plans submitted to him. He does so to the great astonishment of all who are not privy to the application of this unchanging information, and his edifice rises not only to please the eye, but it also combines usefulness with comfort, symmetry with durability. He knew what he wanted to build, he knew the means that lead to the successful accomplishment of his goal, he used them, and his edifice stands for all to see.

And the same holds true for all the masters of all the other arts based on solid foundations: they can accomplish in confidence what they set out to do. The required learning is strengthened by frequent practice and the habitual application of it..."

This wonderful article and homeopathy does a beautiful job of succinctly describing the simple path to healing for people, pets and the planet.

Let's take it together!!
