A human being is an integral part of Mother Earth, although often, in these times of synthetic-obsession, man tends to overlook it. Each human is part of a cosmic whole and each component of man is part of the entirety. Therefore, any ailment must be looked at holistically – at the ‘whole’ and not in a reductionist manner.
If a person is suffering from a cardiac ailment, the cause may be an overreacting liver (detected by the ancient system of Chinese pulse diagnosis) as homeopathy practitioner Dr. Mass R. Usuf says. The reductionist approach would be to treat the heart whereas holistically it is the overreacting liver that needs to be addressed, he points out.
Electrohomoeopathy, is one such holistic system of medicine that was developed in 1865 by an Italian aristocrat, Count Cesare Mattei who had devoted his life to natural medicine, following in the footsteps of the founder of homeopathy, one time an allopathy expert, Friedrich Hannemann of Germany who was a chemist as well as a professor of medicine and a scholar who could read over 30 languages.
Electrohomoeopathy is about the bio-electricity potential inherent in a plant which is extracted by a process of fermentation and distillation called cohobation. The extracted content is called a spagyric essence. Administered as medicine, the spagyric essence brings about a healing effect that most often borders on the miraculous, states Dr. Usuf.
The advent of electrohomoeopathy in Sri Lanka is attributed to Dr. Mass R. Usuf, who is the President of the National Association of Homoeopaths & Affiliates.
Dr. Usuf says that this system of medicine addresses disorders ascribed to the vitiation of the lymph or blood. The lymph and blood are two elementary fluids in the human economy that nourish organs and tissues, maintain the immune system, help excrete toxins, assist in the metabolic process and are involved in hundreds of physiological functions. Impairment of the lymph and blood makes the human vulnerable to disease.
Dr. Usuf acknowledges that homoeopathy as well as electrohomoeopathy are dismissed by the Western medical community as a ‘pseudoscience’ or even labelled as ‘quackery.’ However he emphasises that despite this ostracisation, those who have been cured totally by it of acute, chronic and life threatening illnesses where allopathy has miserably failed, is a significant global phenomenon.
“Well, if quackery or the placebo effect (which are some of the terms used by the allopathic community about homeopathy) can produce curative results, which often far surpasses the impact by allopathy, then what more can we ask for,” says a bemused Dr. Usuf.
“I have decided to introduce electrohomoeopathy to Sri Lanka as it would benefit the masses due to its affordability and efficacy,” states Dr. Usuf.
Electrohomoeopathy is also effective against pandemics with mutating pathogens (corona, monkeypox for example), cancer and other life threatening as well as non-life threatening acute or chronic ailments.
Thus, he points out that electrohomoeopathy has excellent prophylactics (preventives) and has a curative power against any pathogen, in any mutated form. It also successfully addresses dengue and chikungunya by way of a prophylactic and a curative.
The homeopathic achievements of Dr. Usuf have been featured in International Homoeopathic Journals. Besides homoeopathy and his new passion electrohomoeopathy, Dr. Usuf also specialises in acupuncture, acupressure, biochemic therapy, naturopathy, ancient Indian palm diagnosis, ancient Chinese system of pulse diagnosis, magnet therapy, and acu-cupping therapy.
Homeopathy, as wide research on the subject suggests, could be described as the subtle holistic science of healing where the dosages are in the minutest form, representing the ‘energy’ or the ‘vitality’ and does not burden the human system in a gross manner. It is the science of treating like with like following the laws of similar, which is in reverse mechanism to allopathy.
The word “allopathic” comes from the Greek term “allos” — meaning “opposite” and the term “Homoeopathy” from the Greek words “Homoeos” and “Pathos” which means “similar.” (SV)
