Guest guest Posted August 8, 2000 Report Share Posted August 8, 2000 << Too bad we can't clone him.>> This certainly is unfortunate. <<The reason I'm not doing chelation, for the moment anyway, is because homeopathy seems to be improving her health, and I'm too afraid of rocking the boat. >> This both makes sense and can be a trap. Lots of parents continue on with marginally effective therapies that never get their kids well. But then other people hurt themselves or their kids jumping from therapy to therapy. I guess you get to be one of those people who watch the list carefully for a few months to decide if the added progress people report from chelation really does justify the risk of the actual side effects or adverse reactions reported on the list. Not everyone has to do things the same way at the same time. Andy Cutler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 I'm probably going to create hate and discontent with what I'm going to say, but it is my opinion. I believe that most homeopathic treatments are bogus. I fail to find any sound science to support the claims and I can't find a relationship to the pathophysiology for what they are trying to treat. Only my opinion. Jay > Has anyone tried homeopathy for RA? > > Sierra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 I tend to agree with you Jay. Of course this is only my opinion as well.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 I agree there, Jay. Expectations have a whole lot to do with the kind of pain one experiences, and "studies" using homeopathic methods are primarily anecdotal, with far too many variables that are uncontrolled. Certainly, anything which makes you healthier, like dietary change, will make you feel better, but it won't *cure* RA. When I was first diagnosed, I did a lot of reading, and there are a number of books out there by people who were "cured" by using alternative methods. Of course none of these people ever seemed to have a firm diagnosis of RA, and most of them had some very bizarre symptoms which could easily have been psychological. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jay Bishop Rheumatoid Arthritis Sent: Sunday, February 01, 2004 2:42 AM Subject: Re: homeopathy I'm probably going to create hate and discontent with what I'm going to say, but it is my opinion.I believe that most homeopathic treatments are bogus.

No hate or discontent, Jay. I appreciate your honest opinion. I've tried several remedies in the past for different things, and nothing's had any effect. (In two cases, I consulted well-established practitioners, one an M.D.) Homeopathy came to mind recently while reading Dr. Weil's book: " Spontaneous Healing " . He says it's " worth a try " for RA. I posted my question on another RA site and got some good info. about studies that were conducted showing that homeopathy does not help RA. I keep thinking there must be something to it, because a number of people I respect swear by it and it is so pervasive. Sierra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 Gosh, Gloria....if I saw results I would have stuck with it, but it was several months and none. Your friend was getting results but so conditioned to the medical route......gosh.... Yes, he was actually a boyfriend of mine and the first time he woke me up in the middle of the night having of one of these seizures, I was terrified. We found an old, old homeopathic physician (probably retired by now...or dead!), and he went to him. No physical, or any of that...just asked him a bunch of questions and he came home with these pills. And they worked! But, the fear of more seizures was too scary for him to take and he went the medical route. When he pointed out to me that he hadn't had any seizures while on the homeopathic remedy I then began to think...Hmmmm...that guy must really know his stuff. The seizure pattern was very strange...once a month in his sleep and ALWAYS on the full moon. Gloria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 I SWEAR by Coffea Cruda 30c, for the middle of the night mind talk that won't go away. When my dog had bad heart problems I used to give her Craetagus 30x and Cactus Grande 30x every day. They are homeopathic remedies very specific for heart problems. The vet said he didn't know what I was giving her, but to keep it up because she was hanging in there years longer than their original prognosis. Where do you buy your homeopathic remedies? They have some of the more common ones in health food stores, but I sometimes need ones that you basically have to get from a homeopathic pharmacy.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Coffea Cruda and Rhus tox I get in my local health food store. Then again, I live in the Santa Cruz area of CA, and they abound aplenty! I use a homeopath on my dog for cataracts. That I get from an online place called Hannah's Herbs. They do have a storefront, but not in my area. Boulder, CO. Blue, my dog, has a genetic thing with his eyes. I had one removed, but refuse to remove the other one. He's been on a cataract homeopath for over a year now, and I do believe that it helps him. Depends on what vet you talk to. If I talk to my Mountain Vet, he says that Blue is doing great. If I go into the doc that took out his other eye, she would say to take the other one out, or put him down. Not an option. http://www.hannasherbshop.com/ Best wishes!! Lynn in Ca.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 I remember Hannah Kroger years back. When she died spoke at her ceremony in Boulder. I'm outside Boulder within minutes. She used to do a church service at her chapel in Boulder way back when. Oh, I remember when Molly, my dog, 5 years ago, before going raw had a bite on her nose. I tried it all, but did find holistic vet who gave my dog homeopathic pills. Flashback here. It worked! carolLynn <mrningdw@...> wrote: Coffea Cruda and Rhus tox I get in my local health food store.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Homeopathy can be exceptionally effective. Because it is an energetic therapy it must hit the middle of the bullseye. If off even a bit it may have no effect at all. this is a very finite science. that someone has no benefit in a particular situation is not a judgment upon the whole. If attempting homeopathy, please pick your practitioner carefully and your chances for success will skyrocket.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Well, I wish them luck with it. We worked with a homeopath who was very highly recommended and we were very optimistic about it. Neither of us would ever try it again. It's been a few years ago, so I don't remember exactly how much it cost us, but each session was about $150. apiece. We had little bottles of drops that we had to take several times a day. Fifteen drops of one thing, 5 drops of something else and on and on like that. I think some use tablets that are to be dissolved under the tongue, but we were sold drops, and a lot of different bottles of them. That's about all I remember about it now. I really wish " skyrocket " was a word I could use to describe our experience. Amber Homeopathy can be exceptionally effective.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Homeopathy for those who are not familiar, is an energetic trigger. the more that a remedy is diluted and succused, the deeper acting and the longer acting. After a 60X succusion the chances of there being even one molecule of the original substance left is less than winning the Powerball. Therefore 2 things must be present for them to work. First as I said before the energetic must be hit precisely, if not, zero effect. second because it is an energetic trigger, all the processes and raw materials required to perform the action that you wish to trigger must be present and available. So, in our overfed and undernourished culture homeopathy tends to not work quite so well as in poorer but better nutriented cultures. It is kind of like jumping into a cab and saying " take me to Broadway and Tenth. If there is no cab driver, you go nowhere. The proof is always in the pudding. In the case below, the practitioner should have been gauging the effectiveness of treatment bases on the progress his/her client was making. If after a couple of stabs they have not hit the mark, maybe they should have cut you loose before your bank account was drained. -D ----- Original Message ----- From: Amber <mailto:amber@...> gallstones <mailto:gallstones > Sent: Sunday, March 09, 2008 6:16 AM Subject: Re: Homeopathy Well, I wish them luck with it.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 In 2000, my wife, who had 4mm of gallstone, got cured in 3 months' medication of homeopathy. She had gotten date for surgery, all tests done. But luckily, someone suggested, and we started the 3 months's course costing 8 dollars. She was suffering from pain for 4 years. never came to know that it was gallstone. thought it to be a stomach pain only. Got ultrasound and found it a 4mm gallstone. She is perfect since 2000, but she has not gone through any ultrasound. I have heard numerous examples of successful treatments of different diseases through homeopathy.
