Tariq Kuraishy was initially trained in the conventional disciplines of chemistry and drug development, with dreams of revolutionizing the field by developing the most potent antibiotics and steroids, and this is precisely what is happening today. "Fortunately", he said, "most of us involved in this kind of research, realized very quickly that what we were doing was going to be disastrous for mankind. In short, most of us left and looked for alternatives." He then became vice-president of the Standard Homeopathic Company, Los Angeles; he is vice-president of the American Association of Homeopathic Pharmacists; and he is now president of the Health Research Institute in Las Vegas which specializes in the research and manufacturing of homeopathic medicines.

DEFINITION OF HOMEOPATHY:

Homeopathy, as we know it, was discovered about 175 years ago by a physician named Samuel Hahnemann in Germany, when he read about a principle which stated that a drug whose use could cause certain symptoms in its diluted form, can remove these same symptoms. The principle of homeopathy is that, a substance, however irritating, if it has the ability to cause effects, like coughs, or headaches, etc., it can be used very effectively and totally non-toxically to treat the same set of symptoms.

The word homeopathy was coined by Samuel Hahnemann, homeo meaning similar and pathos meaning suffering, the whole word meaning similar suffering. Homeopathy functions according to the Laws of Similars and the Laws of Potentization. In the seven different branches of medicine we know, homeopathy is the only discipline that has laws. These laws are unchanging, which is why the system will grow with time and we will be able to adapt to all the environmental problems, because the laws of homeopathy are never violated.

The Law of Similars basically says that if a substance has the capability of producing a set of symptoms on an otherwise ordered or healthy system, then this same substance has the ability to remove all those symptoms once potentized homeopathically. Potentization does not mean adding extra strength. It means trapping the essentials of the electromagnetic energy that is part of every species, living or non-living. This is the energy we are dealing with in homeopathy, and this is the same corrective energy that is able to reorder a disordered system.

HOMEOPATHIC DEFINITION OF DISEASE:

People ask: if the solutions and preparations we are dealing with are so minute in matter, how could they possibly affect the system?

The first thing I want to say is that we must divorce ourselves from a preconceived notion of illness, and a preconceived notion of the action of drugs. We have previously been led to believe that medicines are chemically oriented preparations that affect the biological processes only on a material scale. This is not so. The reality is that to be curative a medicine must have energetic content. Since every human being has electrical current flowing through their system, which we can measure, we therefore have an electromagnetic field. Conventional medicine has ignored this principle, and so disease has been defined by them as the manifestation of certain symptoms.

However, the homeopathic definition of disease is that when something goes wrong at the electrical level, the electromagnetic field is altered. As a result of that imbalance, there is a manifestation of ulcers, migraines, cardiovascular disease, etc. So homeopathically, we correct the energetic imbalance. This used to be done qualitatively. Now it can be done very precisely and very quantitatively.

THE ACUPUNCTURE SYSTEM AND THE MANIFESTATION OF DISEASE:

In acupuncture, the Chinese stumbled across the fourth circulatory system of the body, which is the electrical system. And it is at the electrical level of the body that the disease is caused. They discovered that there were three basic circulatory systems, the blood, the lymph, and the nervous system. Each of them has a massive network. But the fourth system, which is the most crucial system of all, is the electrical system, otherwise known as the acupuncture system. Within this we have an electrical network connecting every part of our body, from the dermal areas of the skin to the deeper tissues, and we can actually plot where these different circuits go. Every one of us has them. And when they are cut or incised, problems will develop.

It used to be fashionable at one time for women, when they had operations, to be very careful and let the surgeon know that the cut should be a horizontal one lower down so that it wouldn't be noticeable, rather than a longitudinal one. This caused more problems in the 50's and 60's that we didn't even come across until the late 70's. Because these meridians are going up and down the system (vertically), when they are cut horizontally, there is tremendous damage to the circuitry of the system. And we've had more women with severe allergies and severe endocrinological problems as a result of that. So just as a side note, remember if anyone ever has to go into surgery, please go in for the vertical cut, which will do minimum damage, rather than the horizontal.

So there are basically twelve main meridians or arteries of electromagnetic energy. In these twelve, you constantly have a free flow of energy. If an energy block develops in one of these meridians, you have a problem. And what causes that block? It is all the garbage we have in our air, in our water, and in the food we take, however careful we are, and especially it is a result of the drugs that we've been taking since we were children: from the vaccinations to the analgesics, anti-depressants and antibiotics. They have all managed to accumulate and cause a problem, which results in this block. The Chinese figured that these blocks affect the electromagnetic structure, and cause disease.

There is a level of toxicity and a physiological effect that each virus and bacteria can manifest. So long as you are kept ordered at the electrical level, none of this will invade you. Take for example an epidemic of influenza. All around you people are falling sick. They've got the bug, but you'll always find one or two people who don't get it. If the virus is in the air, and we're all breathing it, and we all have it, why doesn't everyone come down with it? Because there is a certain arrangement required for the activity of that virus. And some of these people are naturally healthy and they have natural resistance.

HOMEOPATHIC TREATMENTS:

Well, homeopathy does not treat with antibodies. Homeopathy deals with the same substance.

INSOMNIA: You know that coffee which has caffeine, keeps you awake at night when you drink too much of it. Well in homeopathy, the classic treatment for insomnia is crude coffee in potentized form. Very, very effective.

HEAVY METAL POISONING: Another very fascinating area, where homeopathy is effective, is in the treatment of heavy metal poisoning. Where there are dietary deficiencies, these can be made up by taking extra vitamins and minerals. But when you have heavy arsenic, heavy cadmium, or heavy mercury in the system, what can you do? There is no other medical system that can handle it, and people become severely ill, especially their central nervous system. Their coordination goes. If metals are in the blood, chelation can work but if it's in the tissues, chelation will not work that well, and you will need homeopathy.

LEAD: For instance, lead in your system can be very effectively treated by Plumbum Metalicum, which is a homeopathic preparation made from lead. We have documented that a person who shows high levels of lead in their tests, after 120 to 160 days of taking the preparation of Plumbum Metalicum, has eliminated it from the tissues, from the liver, from the fat around it, and it's out of the system.

PESTICIDES: The same is true for pesticides. And that is my main concern right now, because our air has become so full of at least 14 different kinds of pesticides that have been used, such as malathion, paraquat, and 245 tiesta, and every year it's getting worse and worse, and people are coming down with multiple sclerosis and alateral sclerosis. These are symptoms related to pesticide poisoning. And we're having excellent results using homeopathic forms of the same pesticide to treat them.

RADIATION SICKNESS: When a person accumulates radiation, essentially X-Rays or emanations from radioactive substances, there is obviously toxicology related to radioactivity. When you prepare the homeopathic form, you take a diluant, which is a water-alcohol system, and you bombard that with X-Ray radiation to the point where it becomes heavily saturated with it and you can measure it. Nobody touches it now - it's a potent, lethal substance. Then this is diluted and potentized to a point just like with other homeopathic preparations, and we get potencies so dilute you cannot quantifiably measure them, and a tremendous amount of reverse energy is created in the vehicle. We can now give you back in precisely this negative form something that will balance out your radioactive levels. So in this way you can remove the effects of radiation.

We are finding that especially with our airline pilots and stewardesses. Most of them who are flying all the time eventually are exposed to enough milliCuries of radiation up in the atmosphere, and they all come up with the central nervous system phenomena which is related to radioactivity. And we have treated many pilots for this. A lot of pilots die around the age of 60 of cancer, and we have been able to document this study.

HOME REMEDY KIT: For you at home, we drew up some combinations which we have found in our experience to be very valuable. We have a service where the highest quality of homeopathic medicine is made, both in combination form as well as single remedies. For those of you who do not know of a place to get it, by all means write to our service. They can tell you where you can obtain homeopathic remedies, or they'll be happy to send them directly to your home. Our idea, with these home combinations, is to stay on a preventive program. Ninety percent of problems can be taken care of right in your home, with the householder playing the doctor, as it should be, as it used to be a long time ago.

We have developed a homeopathic remedy for DIARRHEA, both for elderly people, as well as for children. COUGHS are another problem. Everybody comes down with coughs, and rather than take different depressants, which numb the nervous system, there's a homeopathic remedy which can do it very nicely for you. HEMORRHOIDS and PILES: Every third person on the street is now suffering from one form or other of hemorrhoids. We have a preparation for that. NERVOUS TENSION, INSOMNIA, HEADACES, NEURALGIA, GLANDULAR DROPS, TEETHING FOR CHILDREN -- preparations for all of these things were developed for your convenience. One last medicine is for the treatment of OBESITY. Appetite depressant drugs will not do it because a fat person thinks differently from a thin person. We can convert this homeopathically to where this fat man now loves celery.

Homeopathic remedies are a beautifully gentle form of treatment. There are no side effects. For chronic conditions please go to a doctor.
