HOMEOPATHY HOM EOPA THY for A cup u n ctu ris ts , Ch irop ractors & Natu rop ath s For Acupuncturists, Chiropractors & Naturopaths Chapter 5 CHINESE HERBOLOGY AND HOMEOPATHY There are several different pharmacological dynamics which allow for homeopathy to occur at low-dose ratios: those of 12x or below. As we have pointed out, the Arndt-Schultz law indicates how poisons in certain compounds have a paradoxical shift in activity as they are made more and more dilute. The effect of a poison at raw dose shows a paradoxical shift in a more dilute dose. As we have proved several times in the Quantum Biology, Bio-Quantum Matrix, and other publications, homeopathy is not all like treating like. There are many cases where homeopathy treats by using a pharmacological agent, and the homeopathic indications are very similar, if not identical, to the indications of the original herb. With this in mind, just what is homeopathy, versus allopathy? In looking at a new definition for homeopathy which encompasses the old definition, we can see that a homeopath is truly trying to stimulate the organism of the human body to respond and heal itself (also see Chapter 1). This is what homeopathy is doing versus allopathy. In allopathy, outside intervention with a drug is meant to sedate, stimulate, block, deceive, or do some type of unnatural process. Thus the organism becomes dependent on the outside stimulus. If an MAO inhibitor is used to stop depression, the person's own development of monoamine oxidase becomes deficient. If we use an anti-histamine to fight histamine release, then the person's own development of histamine can be deficient. Thus allopathy seeks to build dependence. The key for the allopath is the hope that the allopathic medication will pick up some slack, and that the organism (the patient) will heal itself while the allopathic medication is operating. In other words, he hopes that the patient can find his own biological solution while the anti-histamine is working. But the anti-histamines and most synthetic medications do not cure; they only do outside stimulation, relying on the forces of nature to cure the body in the interim. In homeopathy we are using many different principles, and trying to encourage the body to heal itself, rather than stimulating it to heal itself. This is the concept of the minimal dose on which Hahnemann reflected, in trying to find the smallest amount of a homeopathic or pharmacological agent that could gently help to nudge the patient back into the biological cybernetics of health. Using a "feather" to stimulate such a balance is the principle of homeopathy. In using the Ardnt-Schultz law for poisons such as Belladonna, Apis Mellifica, Hepar Sulph., etc; we can see that this principle dedicates the proposition that what a poison does in raw dose is opposite to a homeopathic form of the poison. Thus we can see in snake venoms and other biological poisons the abilities to mend and heal different enzyme pathways. In some other herbs which are not poisons we can also see a homeopathic principle in which we are using a compound to accomplish a gentle nudge to the patient to return to health. In Chinese herbalism, if a patient's body had too much heat, such as a fever condition, then the herbalist would use a refrigerant. If a patient had a problem with constipation, then an herbal laxative would be used. We see these different propositions as being akin to homeopathy in that we would try to use the least possible amount of refrigerant or other product to accomplish the job of bringing the patient back to stability, just as a homeopath might use Eyebright, or adrenal tissue to help in a weak adrenal case. This is also applied to the concept of Chinese herbalism. So now our new definition of homeopathy is one of gently stimulating the body to heal itself, rather than to be dependent on outside pharmacological intervention. This broader definition of homeopathy will allow us to reevaluate the different herbals and natural compounds that used to be in the Natural Compendium, and bring them back into medical repertory. HOM EOPA THY for A cup u n ctu ris ts , Ch irop ractors & Natu rop ath s So in using the different compounds of the herbal repertory, we can see that this is much akin to a homeopathic philosophy. The dilution process is merely to seek a minimal dose of these items, so that we can accomplish the positive effects and yet minimi ze the negative effects of the herbs. Thus homeopathy allows for many different factors. 1. Homeopathy can be nutritional supplementation. If we use a homeopathic compound, such as vitamin A or vitamin B to supplement the body's deficiency syndrome, then homeopathy can be used in a nutritional sense. If we were to take a concentrated source of B-12 and dilute it one part to six times to arrive at a 6x, we would see that this 6x is approximately equal to the RDA of B-12. Thus some of the minute doses of vitamins that people use can be reflected in the compounds of homeopathy. Such homeopathic compounds made for nutritional supplementation are in the liquescence line made by New Vistas. These different liquescences were developed for nutritional supplementation in using the minimal dose philosophy, and also using the highest quality of vitamins known to man; that of vitamins made by nature, not the synthetic vitamins made by man's technology. This line was basically a variation of Royal Lee's ideas of protomorphology and nutrition, using natural compounds, such as snow pea for kidney development, wheat grass for B vitamins, natural wheat germ for vitamin E, and the whole series of natural vitamin C factors for vitamin C. These compounds have been blended into natural liquids for vitamin supplementation, and also to be a superior line to some of the standard process formulas. The standard process formulas use different unnatural pills, as nature does not provide pill trees and capsule bushes. Using these liquids we can increase the surface area over one million times. We can start the digestive process in the mouth with the help of the brain and all the innervations that go into the nasal pharynx, so that the nervous system can properly prepare for absorption and utilization. Thus we have been able to increase the effectiveness and the mode of delivery of the standard process formulas while capturing an increase in the potency. 2. Homeopathy can be used to help stimulate the body. So if we use caffeine or Belladonna at low dose, we can achieve some low-dose pharmacological action in the attempt to trigger the body to do its own healing. The vast difference here between homeopathy and allopathy is that we do not try to incur dependence with homeopathy, but rather we use the minimal dose, and gently shift the patient to being able to accomplish his own factors of health. 3. Homeopathy can be used in many classic ways to help reverse symptoms and stimulate the body to return to the balance of its cybernetic systems. However, this chapter is dedicated to the idea of using herbs in high concentrations and low potencies of 2x, 3x and 4x for pharmacological and homeopathic action. Let us now return to our analysis of the Chinese herb philosophy. Belladonna, as indicated, contains atropine, and the pharmacological effects of Belladonna are that it makes the patient "red as a beet, dry as a bone, and mad as a hatter". This is the anti-cholinergic effect of the pharmacology of the atropine in the Belladonna compound. Belladonna is a poison; if taken in large enough doses, it will cause death. If we make the Belladonna solution more and more dilute, we will see, if we chart the pharmacological effects of Belladonna, that at a certain point the Belladonna will cause a paradoxical shift, and it will reverse redness, dryness, and madness. Thus if a patient were to come to us who was red as a beet, dry as a bone, and mad as a hatter, we might suggest a 6x, 9x, or possibly higher potencies of Belladonna to reverse these processes. The Arndt -Schultz law, as pointed out in the chapter on pharmacology, points out that a poison compound will always show a reversal. A compound that is not a poison will follow Wilder's law of initial values. This tells us that as a nonpoisonous compound is made more dilute, we might see an increase in the pharmacological activity of what the raw dose of the formula does, and we might see an inverse, or no effect whatsoever. An example of this would include most of the sarcodal tissues, including thyroid and adrenal. Here we see that the effect of these sarcodal tissues is stimulation or a hormonal effect. If we use raw adrenaline, we will see that it has a stimulating effect on the body. If we use a more dilute form of the adrenaline; 6x, 12x, etc., we will often see a similar increase in the same type of stimulation capacity. We rarely see reversals in the sarcodal formulas. Many herbs will also follow this potentiation cycle, such as Eyebright. Eyebright taken in raw dose makes the eyes bright; hence its name. It was named Eyebright because herbalists found that it helped conditions of the eye. As we make it more and more dilute in homeopathic terms, we will see that the homeopathic usage of Eyebright is almost exactly the same as raw Eyebright. Homeopathic Eyebright, even in dilute quantities of 16x, 30x, and above will also help to improve the eyes and vision. If it were all reversal, we would only use the Eyebright when a patient came in with too good vision. But this is not the case; homeopathic Eyebright is used to improve vision at the same type of level that original Eyebright is used. Many herbs have increased or equal health value in homeopathic form. It is wrong to merely value compounds by their dosages, as in synthetic pharmacology. Many Chinese herbs can have excellent effects in lowpotency homeopathic form. HOM EOPA THY for A cup u n ctu ris ts , Ch irop ractors & Natu rop ath s As stated in the law of initial values, some things will cause reversal if they tend toward poisons, and some things will be potentiating of their original effects. Also some items will have no effect at all as they are made more and more dilute. In the study of Chinese herbalism we now see a very profound description of an excellent natural pharmacology. We now see that the Chinese have studied the medicinal effects of herbs for thousands of years, and that specific directions were developed in how to pick these herbs, preserve them, and then prepare certain remedies. Often these remedies were made in dilute quantities, sometimes as low as one part per trillion, which is equivalent to a 9x. So the Chinese understood how certain items could be made more dilute and still achieve pharmacological effectiveness. To assume that the only active ingredients are chemical in these Chinese herbs is to make the same mistake the synthetic chemical companies make. Nature provides many energetic factors beyond mere chemistry. Subtle energetic effects, mineral balance, electrical regulation abilities, and more are stable in dilution. Dilution also offers safety in compliance with the minimal dose concept of medicine. The Chinese did not have a system of succussion, nor did they have a system of homeopathic dilution, but their pharmacology was much akin to some of these processes. Many herbs were diluted to find safer levels of activity. This titration allows for strong herbs to be used more safely. One of the problems of the herbal industry in America is the lack of preciseness in how an herb should be picked and processed. In China an herb is picked at p recise times of the year using precise methods, so that the pharmacological activity of the item is assured. In America, however, the herbal industry for the last fifty years has been much less precise. Without a precise pharmacopeia unknowing American distributors of these herbs might pick them at nonpharmacologically active periods of their cycle. Without care for quality control, many companies pass on irregular or impotent products without safety or efficacy. This has led to the demise of the herbal industry in America; whereas the fine quality control processes of the herbs in China has led to the high success of China's sphere of medical influence. In 1962 the FDA abolished the Natural Compendium of herbs and natural remedies. We might look at several theories for its demise, but indeed this lack of quality control is indeed a factor. In developing an herbal protocol to mix with homeopathics, wise manufacturers including New Vistas have had to develop severe, exacting quality control criteria for acceptance of the different herbals ordered from American or other herbal suppliers. These types of quality control techniques include product surveys, product assays, and product determination; in methods such as spectrophotometer, atomic absorption, chromatography, culture analysis, and other forms of chemical procedures to determine pharmacological activity. Thus New Vistas has been able to develop the finest quality control analysis protocol to assure the highest form of potency for the different herbs utilized. HOM EOPA THY for A cup u n ctu ris ts , Ch irop ractors & Natu rop ath s The Chinese literature is filled with herbal references and information about how these herbs can be used medicinally to help patients in a variety of ways. It is New Vistas's idea that many of these herbs can also be put into homeopathic dilution, and used in very similar processes. This is to insure safety first, while guaranteeing effectiveness. We do not see this as contradictory to the homeopathic process in any way. In fact, Wilder's law of initial values will tell us that many of these compounds, once understood, can be increased in energetic potency as we make them more and more dilute, while preserving activity. To this end New Vistas has developed pilot study and statistical protocols to be able to determine the absolute effectiveness and safety of the different compounds. Clinical trials are an important part of the New Vistas quality control protocol. So New Vistas started off with the idea that Chinese herbology and homeopathy were compatible in their format, and could be blended. The first type of blending in this technology was through a system of oriental herb formulas directed toward different organ systems, which were called Oriental Herbs (Organs). See the above list of these different products. These were taken from the book "Treating Cancer with Chinese Herbs", by Hong-Yen Hsu. This book was published by the Oriental Healing Arts Institute. In this book several cancer treatment modalities were indicated for a variety of organ system types of cancer. These treatment modalities were developed by doctors in Shang Hi, China. They used many different types of herbal therapies which New Vistas sought to blend into formulas for tre atment of similar degenerative problems, prescribed by properly trained practitioners. After two years of commerce with these products, the remarks of many doctors have confirmed that this is not only a safe system of treatment, but also a very effective system as well. The herbs in those different formulas were all put into a formula at low potencies of 2x, 3x, and sometimes 4x, equivalent to the dilution methods used by the doctors in China, making these formulas equivalent types of modalities to those used in China. The extreme success of these formulas has led New Vistas to develop other formulas following the Chinese herbal system. These are developed with the Chinese herbal acupuncture modality of treatment. In developing these herbal formulas, New Vistas tries to use herbal remedies from all over the world, including those from the Amazon rain forest, where certain herbs have been studied and used by Amazon tribes for years for their specific pharmacological and energetic activity. In making up these formulas, New Vistas has used herbal formulas from the Amazon, China, Korea, America, South America, Europe, Russia, and many other places.

This is largely due to the fact that American herbs can be picked at any time, in any place. In following the Chinese protocol, herbs are picked at precise times and in precise ways, so that the pharmacological activity of the herb is preserved. To this end New Vistas buys many of its herbs from the Chinese, Japanese and Korean markets. Still that is not enough; each of these herbs must be challenged using quality control methods, to make sure that the pharmacological activity of the herb is above the satisfactory level and at the highest level of potency in developing the natural pharmaceuticals. Next in developing quality control techniques beyond the chemistry and beyond the range of 12x, New Vistas developed Kirlian photography methods of analysis, freezing studies of the crystalline structure of the liquid crystal effect of water, trivector analysis to analyze the magnetic, dielectric, static and conductance fields of the different homeopathics to understand the energetic nature of these compounds; and patient reactivity modes, challenging them on skin resistance, voltage, and other directed activity. As well, New Vistas has researched a photo-multiplier that can measure the photons coming off of these fields; and also found out how these different compounds affect living tissue with their electromagnetic radiation through the mitogenic process. These and other studies are discussed in The Natural Repertory of Dr. Nelson, as well as Quantum Biology and Bio-Quantum Matrix. Thus the development of a quality control process was paramount in developing a way to create the most precise, safe and effective remedies for doctors to use with their patients. New Vistas also saw that this needed to have a global expression, and has developed manufacturing entities in Ireland, Canada, Australia, Japan, Germany and the former Soviet Union. New Vistas has developed a global entity to easily supply doctors and practitioners throughout the world with product, guaranteeing safety and effectiveness, reverence for nature, and education. Current seminar development is happening in all of these countries; education for doctors in how to develop diagnostic protocol and healing therapeutic regimes for their patients. If people in the common market order products, they can be shipped directly without involving import/export duties, large shipping costs, or distribution hassles. For the doctor who wants natural, homeopathic pharmaceuticals anywhere in the world, New Vistas is ready to serve, with the highest level of quality and service, all directed through the company pledge for safety, effectiveness, quality control, natural healing, reverence of nature, and education of both patient and doctor. To this end New Vistas welcomes you, the developer of products, to a new standard and level of quality control and service.
