About Us

Homeosource is a 501(c)3 non-profit created to share scientific and clinical information about safe, effective, and low cost natural health care with consumers and  health care professionals alike.  We are here to bridge the gap between people’s desire for natural, safe ways to treat themselves and their families, and the lack of education our health care providers receive about natural alternatives like homeopathy.

As life expectancy rises around the world, it is declining in the U.S.^[1]  Although, Western trauma/orthopedic care is phenomenal by any standard, chronic disease is rampant with people facing a lifetime on medications followed by more medicine to counter the side effects.  For the richest country in the world, something is not working.

The World Health Organization (WHO) states that “[t]raditional and complementary medicine is an important and often underestimated health resource with many applications, especially in the prevention and management of lifestyle-related chronic diseases, and in meeting the health needs of aging populations…. In an ideal world, traditional medicine would be an option offered by a well-functioning, people-centred health system that balances curative services with preventive care.” ^[2]

Despite this far reaching, patient-centered advice from the preeminent health organization in the world, US medical and nursing schools teach only the conventional pharmaceutical model of treating disease.  Traditional forms of treatment recognized by the WHO and used successfully around the world for centuries are not offered in US schools anymore.  As a result, every new doctor and nurse has a tool kit that is limited to only conventional pharmaceuticals.  But, even the best medicines in the world do not heal everyone all the time and some carry the risk of side effects.  For the growing number of health care professionals searching for gentle, less risky ways to help patients or where conventional medicines don’t help, traditional and complementary medicines often fill the void.

HomeoSource.org is a vehicle to take us back to the basics.  We focus on acute, self-limiting conditions and share homeopathy education taught in U.S. medical schools until penicillin relegated it to “grandpa medicine” status.  It is the same homeopathy practiced around the world today.  The benefit to these old natural medicines is that some provide solutions in those tough cases where modern medicine has no answers.  As well, none cause antibiotic resistance, addiction or long term side effects.  In epidemics, as well as every day use, they have proven to be gentle, safe and effective. (See Safety and Effectiveness)

We also share published scientific studies and clinical works by doctors, scientists and world renowned professional homeopaths.  It is our hope that consumers and professionals alike will use this information to establish a dialogue on how we can work together to meet the consumer’s desire for natural treatments for common, self-limiting illnesses, leaving the heavy duty drugs with potential side effects for more dire conditions.  We also hope it helps our medical professionals understand what their patients are taking, how it works, and the science behind it.  HomeoSource.org provides an important tool in the medical community’s laudable efforts to avoid more drug addiction, antibiotic resistance, and the long term side effects brought on by overuse of conventional pharmaceuticals.
