The word “homeopathy” comes from the Greek words homeo = similar and pathos = suffering. It means: “similar suffering”. Homeopathy has been around for more than 200 years, and was discovered by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, a German physician. It is a system of medicine which treats disease by the use of natural substances that are administered in a powerfully diluted form that work brilliantly and without harm.

Homeopathy first developed popularity in Europe and the United States because of its astounding success in treating people suffering from various infectious epidemics in the 19th century such as cholera, typhoid, influenza, and scarlet fever. In North America, homeopathy continued to be widely practiced during the 19th century, as many doctors practiced homeopathy as well as conventional medicine. At the turn of the century, there were 22 homeopathic medical colleges and more than 100 homeopathic hospitals in the United States. They were the leading health treatment. Many of America’s cultural elite were homeopathy’s strongest advocates. However, when the cartel consisting of Rockefeller, Morgan, and Carnegie supported drugs and funded their own kind of medical schools, they basically got the homeopathic schools shut down. Sadly, this has led to the present trend of things in the health care system and food industry where health is deteriorating.​
