The premise of vaccines is a good one: modify an infective agent
(bacteria, virus) in the laboratory so it is no longer virulent
(disease-producing) without destroying its antigenic characteristics
(immune-stimulating). When administered, a vaccine will then theoretically
not produce the disease but will create immunity to it.The approach is

An alternative treatment of disease involving the consumption of natural
materials that simulate the symptoms of the disease. These materials are
first diluted in pure water to such an extent that there are generally no
molecules of the original material left. The efficacy of this treatment is
rejected by most medical experts. It has the potential of causing harm,
because individuals may seek a cure through homeopathy, and ignore the
potential for a cure from a physician.
A natural pharmaceutical science that utilizes substances from the plant,
mineral, and animal kingdoms and is based on the premise that these
naturally occurring substances can cure disease symptoms similar to those
they produce if taken in overdose. Each medicine is individually prescribed
according to how it stimulates the immune and defence systems of the sick
person. Sometimes it is called the “royal medicine.
A form of medicine that relies on minute amounts of herbs, minerals, and
other substances to stimulate natural defences against disease. It is more
widely used in Western Europe than the United States. Developed in the late
18th century by Samuel Hahnemann, MD, the therapy uses the "law of
similars" to treat disease. That is, if large amounts of a substance such
as quinine cause symptoms of an illness in a healthy person, then smaller
amounts should be used for the cure.
