📖 Bridging Cultures in Healthcare 🩺
Dr. Samuntu says the idea for the book began eight years ago in Portland Adult Education’s English classes. When he started in 2018, he was joined by students from 42 countries. He quickly realized that despite their diverse backgrounds, the students faced common challenges, including language barriers and difficulty accessing health care.

Dr. Samuntu argues that health care providers must seek this kind of common ground with patients. Cultural humility, he writes, means recognizing that patients are experts in their own lives and cultures. It requires providers to admit they do not have all the answers and to be willing to learn.

To learn from patients, providers must ask the right questions and listen carefully to the answers. Dr. Samuntu recommends using the questions developed by medical anthropologist Arthur Kleinman to improve cross-cultural communication. These include:

—What do you call your illness?

—What do you think caused it?

—What do you think will happen to you because of it?

—What do you think might help cure it?

Improved communication—supported by interpreters and translators—builds trust and engagement, he writes.

Thank you Dr. Axels Samuntu 🙏

Principles of Classical Homeopathy
Classical homeopathy is based first on the Law of Similars, ‘like cures like’. Homeopathic medicines (remedies) are prepared by specialist pharmacies using a careful process of dilution and succussion (a specific form of vigorous shaking). Any plant, mineral or animal substance can be used to make a remedy. The original substance is diluted in liquid repeatedly and vigorously shaken with each dilution. This process is called ‘potentization’ and it explains the power and efficacy of homeopathic remedies.

In Classical homeopathy, we believe in the ‘minimal dose’, that is, to use the lowest dose and fewest number of dose repetitions that are needed in each particular case.

Homeopaths believe in what Constantine Hering called the “Law of Cure”, which means we heal from the inside out, from top to bottom, with the most important issues curing first. We understand that chronic illness occurs in the opposite manner, that is less important issues growing into more important issues.

What is Homeopathy?
In the early 19th century, Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843) developed a therapeutic system of medicine called homeopathy, which literally means “similar suffering.” Classical Homeopathy is based on the principles set forth by Hahnemann in his treatise, The Organon of the Medical Art. The most notable principle of homeopathy is the law of similars; similia, similibus, curentur, or, let like be cured by like.

Simply, this means that any substance that produces certain symptoms in a healthy person, can cure similar symptoms in a sick person. The principle of treating with the law of similars dates back to Hippocrates (460-377 BC), but in its current form, homeopathy has been used worldwide for more than 200 years. Starting with experiments (called “provings”) on himself, Dr. Hahnemann administered medicinal substances to healthy volunteers (called “provers”). Symptoms that developed in the provers while taking a specific substance gave the homeopathic “picture” of, and indications for, that remedy. Over the years, by means of provings, toxicological data, and clinical experience, the homeopathic drug pictures of over 3000 substances have been derived.
