That is just like formatting your hard drive without using Anti-Virus for a visrus infected PC. Both brings the same results.
You can ease the discomfort from disease symptoms without curing the underlying cause. Some disease, like many forms of cancer, can never be cured but you can help the patient manage the pain and discomfort. This can be a great tool for those with terminal illness but can even relate to someone who has is treating a disease with conventional methods by adding homeopathy to ease the symptoms caused by the cure. This is a subject for extensive discussion.
The disease comes about because of the actions of the person. Treating the person treats the root cause of the disease.
It is actually a very old concept.
By treating the patients themselves (restoring their bodies natural harmony), you eliminate the disease.
Another idea -adding to those excellent answers before is that the body cures itself with proper mind -minimal stress- and the immune system!! Homeopathy helps to put the body in the right state for it to cure and repair itself!!
You are correct in your statement that it is a foolish concept. It is also a foolish form of alternative medicine. Salt water in a bottle with a dropper will do nothing for the disease or the patient.
You misunderstand that phrase.. It means looking for the cause and treating the cause not the patient. The conventional way that's often called allapathy looks for symptoms and treats the symptoms not the cause of the disease or ailment! Treating the symptoms is treating the patient not the cause!
What's "foolish" about it? It's really very "au courant" with the recent trend toward holistic health care.
Modern medicine can crack open your chest and rearrange the plumbing around the heart. Hospitals and HMO's are finally seeing the wisdom (in their pocketbooks) of working with patients from the standpoint of lifestyle changes to prevent drastic medical protocols which cause a lot of human suffering and usually don't result in improved quality of life.
Homeopaths are doctors who treat disease and it is not always the labeled disease that is causing the problem. They also know how to deal with patient suffering.
