Why homeopathy is it more attractive for the patient?

Firstly because the patient does not use synthetic him "poison" the liver and the whole organism, but harmless sugary granules. It is unknown whether he will heal or not, what is certain is that it does no harm.

Second, homeopathic products are generally cheaper.

Thirdly, people will consult a homeopath are those who have long been treated in outpatient clinic and to no avail, who have tried the whole arsenal of chemical treatment available, and that medicine is "official" was disillusioned.

Fourth, and perhaps the most fundamental: the consulting room of a homeopath does not evoke in us the usual hypochondriacal thoughts like "I'm already an old patient who needs medical treatment ...", we generally leads to the outpatient clinics. Academic medicine is a veiled allusion to death. Faced with this, our perception on taking homeopathic products is equivalent to a sort of amusement of vitamin tablets and dragees small harmless and useful.

Prescribed by a homeopathy ?

Homeopathy is a therapeutic method which involves treatment using remedies made primarily from metal salts, second and third animal substances from plants.

That said, what difference is there between homeopathic medicines and the doctor prescribed? The difference lies in that the usual drugs act chemically on the body, while homeopathic products do so informative only, that is to say without using the internal biochemical processes.

I will try to explain what it means to "act in an informative manner". In each drug, such as magnesium or calcium preparations, there is a certain amount of these products, say a gram. Everything else is tying product neutral. In homeopathic preparations made from the same product, the active substance (eg magnesium or calcium or calcium magnesium phosphoricum carbonicum) is not a gram per pill but often only one molecule, all the rest being composed of only neutral tying product.

Not bad, is not it? The doctor prescribed the patient a molecule three times daily before meals. Most interesting however is that in very many cases, a single molecule is as effective and sometimes more effective than high dose of the same product. The question then arises of why pharmaceutical factories do not they make drugs as a molecule added to a binder neutral, instead of wasting in compressed per gram in the pills? The answer is that for some it works with this, and for others with this.



This is not only the dose differentiates homeopathy pharmacology. The destination preparations also differs largely.

Take for example caffeine. It is well known that caffeine has stimulating properties, it is not recommended before bedtime to consume coffee or other caffeine-containing products, otherwise we will not get to sleep anytime soon. At least that's the experience we have in everyday life and also what teaches pharmacology. In homeopathy, it is precisely the opposite is true. Cons insomnia are prescribed specifically caffeine (naturally in a homeopathic dose) that must be ingested before bedtime. And this has nothing to an absurdity, a "twisted logic", but is based on the principle of the founding father of homeopathy, Samuel Hahnemann - "Similia similibus curantum" - "Heal similar by similar ". If you see a homeopath for a "thyrotoxicosis", it will prescribe iodine, and if you send them for symptoms of poisoning by arsenic, will cure arsenic.

For a general practitioner, regardless of whether the patient is good or bad, what is the color of his hair, if ordered or not. He prescribed pills cons cough and goodbye. Conversely, the homeopath before prescribing anything, gets unconditionally "to delve into the soul of the patient" and asks him "stupid": "What time are you calm or stressed? "" Are you able to calm down quickly? "" If you get angry with your spouse, you tend to break dishes or rather to keep your anger in you?"

Why such information is needed? Since there are also homeopathic "dragees cons cough": they are prescribed and the problem is resolved. Indeed, there are, but frankly, the various homeopathic preparations do not act uniformly on various types of people. The homeopath chooses among the remedies "against cough" that which is suitable for a given patient, and not all those who are coughing.

How did all this work?

The legend says that the chiropractor "shall give their place between the vertebrae" discs "that have slipped." In fact, it's not quite it. It is very rare to get to manually reinstall discs, which have moved. No differences were observed in radios made before and after therapy. The surgery is often unavoidable.

Another legend says that the manual therapy, acting on the autonomic nervous system connected to internal organs, and is appropriate not only to cure all discs, but also internal organs. This theory was developed by Daniel Palmer, founder of chiropractic. According to him, each disease may be related to a pinched nerve in the column. He sincerely believes that through the method he has discovered, it will free humanity from disease. Dear readers, if your chiropractor tells you this fable for children, I beg you not to discuss with him (we know it "is always right"). Therefore, we have no knowledge of or at the effects of chiropractic, or acupuncture or those of bioenergy.

Life has unfortunately proven that chiropractic, except for muscle pain and column as well as for headaches, is not effective enough to cure. Many chiropractors do not intend to dispose of their old ambition: they continue to tell how they have delivered their patients with gastritis, asthma, depression. Ultimately, they do not lie: their patients are really cured. Except that it did almost nothing to do with manual therapy. Because there is a type of individual that can cure anything, regardless of what the naturopath with him.


How many sessions are needed?

Consider the opinion of two different chiropractors:

Dr. Steven Bratman (USA): "For starters, I recommend ten sessions, and if an improvement occurs, it is appropriate to conduct further ten sessions.

Dr. Yuri Petrov (Hungary): "If after the second or third meeting there is no improvement, it is usually unnecessary to continue treatment. "

For me, the second opinion arouses in me a greater confidence. Everyone is far from needing to call a chiropractor. And if you'd rather your overcome various ailments with a small fee - of course no ordinary way, but nature - what can you do? Go see a homeopath.

Acting on chiropractic?

According to the statistics I have myself made on all patients consulting a naturopath, nearly half complained of back pain or joint pain perpetual or temporary.

If a problem column appears at the neck, the pain does not show up in the spine itself. The patient then feels headache, dizziness, poor confidence in his approach. These ills are caused by vascular spasms, and poor irrigation of the brain, while the back muscles hypercontraction created a sense of chronic illness.

Diseases of the spine are the consequences of holding on two legs. In addition, throughout the aging process produces a rarefaction of bone (osteoporosis) and a deficiency in calcium in articular cartilage, ligaments and tendons. Some may observe 30 years already, and others, more lucky, never.

If this kind of diseases can act acupuncture, physiotherapy, homeopathy, bioenergy and even in the healing of bone diseases, the prize goes to chiropractic.

United States, the Department of Health recommends chiropractic as a therapeutic method to treat the basic sharp pains in the spine, back muscles and neck.

In such cases, chiropractic heals more quickly and efficiently as acupuncture or other alternative means of therapy.



Yes but, official medicine? It turns out that she absolutely can not treat the pain above. It is completely unnecessary to turn to a doctor or any specialist "official" for muscle pain or column. In the best case, they send the patient for physiotherapy. According to my findings, physiotherapy is unfortunately far less effective than acupuncture or chiropractic.

Similarly to acupuncture, the success of chiropractic therapy surely depends largely on the qualifications of the specialist. The fact feel and interpret the movement of bones and intervertebral discs is at the level of professional skills of the chiropractor. This also determines the extent to which the diagnosis is correct and effective treatment.

The Chiropractor : Philosophical Principles

The chiropractor is always right. The "osteopath" is also known as a specialist in manual therapy. In the West, this activity is called chiropractic (or chiropractic).

Why has he "always right"? Because it is impossible to argue with him. As he can be convinced of anything.

Similarly, massage, chiropractic therapy is a method of "laying on of hands", although the two approaches observed a difference of principle. Massage affects the muscles, while chiropractic involves the manipulation of the spine, intervertebral discs and bones. Massage improves the patient's condition, but rarely cured of his illness. While a chiropractic treatment continued over the years can relieve symptoms of the disease. In other words, the characteristic of the massage is to relieve, while that of chiropractic would be treated immediately.

Chiropractors are those who obtain the largest number of healing - not visible, but real - "in one sitting." That said, complications are more common among them (including the right specialists) than in others. Sometimes someone falls from a chiropractor with a slight pain in lower back to come out on a stretcher to an ambulance.

Sexual Massage

Massage cupping

To do this, it uses the same suckers (small glass jars) than those placed on the chest and back of children and adults for problems with bronchitis or pneumonia. In this case, however, the cups are not fixed in one place, the therapist moves them by dragging them onto the surface of the skin brushed with a lubricating cream.

Sexual massage

What is truly sexual massage? According to a definition given from a specialist book, massage sexual massage is comparable to conventional segmental or points, except that it is performed to solve the problems of impotence and frigidity. This type of massage is therapeutic rather than sexual. The hallmark of sexual massage is that it includes, besides the usual things, the caress of sensitive areas, to the most erogenous. The onset of climax - or at least attempt to do so - is an organic part of the sexual massage.



Even from afar I do not list all types of massage. In the East, for example, the masseur "wander" on the patient's back while massaging with her heels and toes. Flogging mutual body with a handful of leafy yards - the Russians use in the thermal baths - is also a form of massage.

The massage seems to be the most intelligible part of alternative medicine. How not to understand the effect that the massager kneads the muscles of the patient so to "liquify" the tension and the blood stagnates in us.

Yes, exactly. But this is just the tip of the iceberg. Only a few patients and naturopaths have misgivings about the invisible part.

Massage, Worldwide A View

Swedish Massage

Compared with the conventional type, this massage is more intensive. The massage movements are more pronounced, more depressed, sometimes even act to deeper tissues. In addition, this massage is not in the direction of lymph flow, but in reverse.

Finnish massage

Here are the thumbs do the kneading for targeting muscles located around the frame. This massage is primarily used in sports.

Massage Spot

It is performed with one finger. In the Chinese version of the massage points, using the same points as in acupuncture, considering the energy flowing in the meridians. In the Japanese version (shiatsu), the meridians and the concept of energy flow do not appear. The massage points on the muscle to improve blood circulation and remove lactic acid residues that have built up the muscles.

Segmental massage

It is exclusively a therapeutic massage. We practice on the body segments that are connected with nerve internal organs. It uses massage the muscles of the neck in migraine and high blood pressure, massage the 7th and 8th vertebrae from the top of the back to improve the functioning of the stomach, and finally massage the sacrum and buttocks to increase the genitals.

Massage Process

Vibration

Vibration is not a single process but a set of manipulations. Generally known as the vibration produced by the hands of a masseur on body tissues. The hand can stay anywhere on the body (stable vibration), as it may change places. The jerking motion is effective for massaging the belly, the hand moving as if to pass the flour through a sieve. By increasing intestinal peristalsis, the process removes constipation.

During the massage a member, the therapist shakes leg or arm as if dusted off a mat. This manipulation is practiced in case of poor circulation or in order to strengthen the joints and massage for athletes.

When massaging the back, chest or buttocks, the masseur's hands patting said parts of the body. The action of any type with the palm is called tapping and typing with one fist, the hammer.

During the meeting, if the masseur takes all the manipulations listed so far (except the intensive kneading at the first meeting) is that it does a respectable job. If he does only half, and more softly, this amounts to botch.

For the vibration, the masseur is especially use his hands, for which we can appeal to the electric massage. There is a wide range of instruments for electric massage, ranging from small devices to be used for the finest massage joints and face up to machines with the size and weight of an iron. Massage using equipment is an ideal complement for hands, and his practice is not considered evidence of sloppy.

Outside of massage "classic", there are many versions of "unconventional", among which I will mention a few.

Massage : Methods

Smoothing

The masseur starts and ends the session with this method. He strokes her hand just the patient. Smoothing can be done in different ways: superficial or deep, or continuously with short breaks, using the fingers, with all the palm or only the portion, raking or tingling. During a meeting, it is not absolutely necessary that all the manipulations are performed. All this depends on personal style and your state masseur. That said, always start with a smooth surface and only gradually come to manipulation deeper, more diverse.

Friction

This process is similar to smoothing, but insofar as it seeks greater strength, skin tissue shifts that lie underneath. Blood flow strengthens the muscles and ligaments stretch, deposits on joints subside, nerve pain decreases. The friction can be practiced both in the direction of lymphatic flow conversely. The movement of the friction can be done with the palm, as with the fist. We can "cut" a body part with the edge of the palm, while the arm and leg can be "planed" or "hurry".
In the classical massage, the processes of friction after smoothing and precede the kneading massage, more intensive than the friction.

Kneading

Of her fingers and gently massage the seized raises, kneads, presses the muscles, acting not only on them, but also on the fat tissue underneath the skin. Thus it increases muscle tone, which increases the ability of muscles to contract, we promotes blood circulation. Kneading is a main form of influence exerted on muscles: regardless of whether the muscles are too relaxed or too contracted, kneading has offsetting effects on them.

The process of kneading recalls how kneaded dough. Strictly speaking we can all do is the result which is important to stretch the muscle kneading. Muscles can be pinched, the surfaces can be displaced relative to one another, we can shake, shake, tug, push or twist. Everything depends on the strength of the massager and the patient's masochism. As part of a first meeting, however, intensive forms of mixing are not recommended. The patient must first get accustomed to massage, otherwise the day after the meeting he will feel to have the body "into a thousand pieces", like soreness may feel a body without a drive after playing sports or hard work.

Classical Massage

The masseur must be careful that his office is always at right temperature, there floats a good perfume, a soft music accompanies the massage, the cloth is immaculate cleanliness, and the phone does not ring all five minutes. In the absence of such conditions, the patient can not properly relax physically and mentally. And even if the massage itself is well practiced in any way without proper environment maximum efficiency can be obtained.

There are no regulations concerning the execution unit of the massage. This is an improvisation that depends on the actual situation, the goal of massage which can relax the joints of a ballerina or a sports issue a patient's pain to the column, or relax tone then a healthy person. This is why there are many kinds of massage.

Massage is hard work. A masseur can receive up to ten patients daily or more. In these cases, the greater the temptation to massage "half-steam," performed in a rather sloppy. Lets see what the traditional massage, without sloppy.

Classical massage



This technique consists of four forms of manipulation: smoothing, rubbing, kneading, vibration. Depending on the goal of care, massage can be classical local type, therapeutic, rejuvenating and many others. The general rules of classical massage are:

it should produce no discomfort;
at the household level of pain (sciatica, arthritis), only a superficial massage can be practiced;
the patient should sit comfortably, so that his muscles are released at the most;
the masseur should perform their movements along the lymphatic channels in the direction of the nearest lymph nodes.

Lymphatic flow as the movements of the masseur must follow is shown in the picture below cons using arrows.
