Samuel Hahnemann: Homeopathy  
 
Recap on the midterm about homeopathy, I briefly described why homeopathy was one of the trying ways to go through life. The reason why is because homeopathy was the idea of an alternative medicine known as “fake medicine” that was created on curing diseases based on the products of magical thinking. 

The alternative medicine was a remedy that was mixed with flowers, barks, metals, and arsenic. The inventor knew that it was to many poisons for one person to consume and could be very harmful. In order to make them consumable the inventor decided to dilute the mixture with either alcohol or water and shake it up as much as possible. This process couldn’t be done just once, it had to be done a couple of times in order to really dilute the poisons so that way it was not only consumable but safe for humans.

Here is a website showing the methods of preparations 
Samuel Christian Hahnemann was a German physician who invented homeopathy. Samuel Hahnemann at his first time was dissatisfied with the medicine that were being prescribed at his point in time. What I mean by a “point in his time”, Samuel Hahnemann lived at a time period where there was no such thing as a germ theory of infectious disease, no antibiotics, no testing done for drugs, no medicines was developed, and no surgical procedures with the aid of anesthesia or cleaning of utensils used.  

Samuel Hahnemann wanted to search for a way to help cure any illnesses and/or diseases without the use of any medicines. So, what Samuel Hahnemann did was he adventured out and took a sample of cinchona bark, which has quinine in it, this is a drug that helps kill malaria. Soon after Samuel Hahnemann, who didn’t have any problems before, started to develop the malaria symptoms. Which soon created a light bulb in Samuel Hahnemann’s mind that what if diseases/illnesses symptoms can be cured by taking a substance that entails the same symptoms. This is based on the idea the “likes cures likes” which as I said before in the last sentence this is based on the idea that symptoms can be cured by substances of the same symptoms.  
Homeopathy was of course looked down upon later in life especially when drugs started to get more known and available for illnesses and diseases. Of course, then more and more people believed in drugs was the cure instead of creating a mixture that was based on magical thinking and known as a “fake medicine” quoted by Mark TwainBut people who believed in homeopathy could hold a good argument back that drugs are believed to only mask the problem but never truly gets down to the root of the problem. Whereas by creating the mixture all the poisons and water or alcohol would actually absorb all through your body also as time went on people started to creating mixtures specially designed to a person and their symptoms to get the best accuracy and recovery. 
Even though homeopathy is not commonly heard about to this day there is still studies and proof of people still using this method especially those who don’t believe in doctors and over the counter medicines or prescriptions 

This is a website showing the most recent statics of the success of homeopathy   

This is just a bonus to the post. Unfortunately, I couldn’t copy the video to the post so you wouldn’t have to click on the link, but this is an amazing video on Samuel Hahnemann and Homeopathy. It is an hour long, but I think it is good on the background and giving more information.
