A Promise of Health specifically chose to use homeopathic medicine to deliver primary healthcare in its Yucatán clinics. Proven safe, effective and low cost, for less than $1 a remedy, we successfully treat patients.

Last fiscal year (July1, 2005 – June 31, 2006) A Promise of Health’s primary healthcare program treated 5,780 patients and dispensed 10,613 medications. 

In our reporting system, we track 94 categories of physical and mental illnesses and are able to provide medication for them. Most common diseases, in this tropical climate are caused by parasites or from bacterial infections. Because of lack of refrigeration and poor hygiene, diarrhea and colitis are common. During the rainy season we treat many respiratory illnesses including asthma. Older patients often suffer from chronic arthritis and rheumatism aggravated by climate, diet and hard physical work. Mental depression and anxiety are common maladies among these marginalized people that respond favorably to homeopathic treatment. 

Homeopathy today is practiced extensively in many European and Eastern countries, as well as Mexico.

As a medical treatment, the practice of Homeopathy began in Germany more than 200 years ago. Homeopathic physicians in Mexico attend medical school and serve internships just as any other medical doctor. The difference is they are trained in homeopathic diagnosis and treatment.

In India, Mother Teresa initiated a program of homeopathy in the Sisters of Charity clinics that is thriving today.  She said that homeopathic medicine effectively treats the  greatest number of people at the lowest cost.
