Homeopathic Medicine in
Arizona
Homeopathic
medicine is a form of alternative medicine that is holistic,
scientifically based, safe, effective and inexpensive. The very existence
of the Arizona Board of Homeopathic Examiners - one of only three
homeopathic medical boards in the country - has enabled Arizona to become
a national leader in holistic medicine.
Arizonan’s licensed
homeopathic medical physicians are trained MD's and DO's who have
completed additional training in homeopathy as well as one or more of the
other seven diagnostic and treatment modalities listed below.
Just
as there are special areas of expertise among medical and osteopathic
physicians, homeopathic medical physicians may also have areas of special
interest or expertise. For example, a homeopathic medical physician may
have a special interest and training in a technique or therapy such as
chelation or may serve in their medical specialty area such as pediatrics
or psychiatry.
Seven
Disciplines of Homeopathic Medicine
Classical Homeopathy works through activating the
body’s own powers of self regulation and self healing. One of the basic
principles is the “law of similars” which states that substances which can
cause certain symptoms in healthy people can cure those same symptoms when
they occur in an ill person.
Acupuncture is a medical
therapy in which ailments are diagnosed and treated by the specific
application of needles, heat or physical and electromagnetic impulses or
currents to specific anatomic points on the body.
Chelation
is an Oral or Intravenous medical treatment that is used to remove
heavy metal poisoning from the body. Chelation "cleans up" the circulatory
system and slows normal aging by removing metals. It is important to
understand that Chelation does not remove Plaque from Blood Vessels but
works by removing those toxic metals elements in the blood and blood
vessels that contribute to blood clot formation. This has the effect of
greatly improving circulation.
Orthomolecular Therapy
provides the optimum concentration of substances normally present in the
human body such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids and enzymes.
Orthomolecular therapy includes the diagnosis of ailments or physiologic
stresses that occur as a result of genetic or environmental influences as
well as acquired or inherited allergy and hypersensitivity responses.
Neuromuscular Integration is musculoskeletal therapy that
uses any combination of manual methods, physical agents and physical
medicine procedures and devices to improve physiological function by
normalizing body structure.
Nutrition is the recommendation
by a licensee of therapeutic or preventative dietary measures, food factor
concentrates, fasting and cleansing regimens and the rebalancing by a
licensee of digestive system function to correct diseases of malnutrition,
to resolve conditions of metabolic imbalance and to support optimal
vitality.
Pharmaceutical Medicine is drug therapy that uses
prescription-only and nonprescription pharmaceutical agents as well as
medicinal agents of botanical, biological or mineral origin and that is
based on current scientific indications or traditional or historical usage
indication.
