Homeopathy/was Re: Clarifying thinking and a gratuitous remonstration

[Guest guest]

I lurk, but have really nothing to offer by my opinion. I used to spend alot of

time in a friend's health food store and do alot of reading, but that was a long

time ago.

IMO, homeopathy can work if used properly. As Vic said, adding a remedy, of any

kind, and not changing an inappropriate lifestyle, is not conducive to a

long-term remedy or cure of the condition.

The most important part of addressing any condition, again IMO only, is getting

to the root of the condition. A good diagnostician - whether homeopath,

naturopath, osteopath or M.D., is paramount. One who is not willing to stop at

the obvious, but continue investigating as time goes on and the desired result

is not obtained.

The patient can help or hinder - not all of us are as 'self-aware' as we should

be and that can certainly hinder the process. As can denial or misguided

attempts to be stoic in the face of dis-ease.

Much of my experience is also with dogs. A clinic in my area has the highest

parvo treatment survival rate in the nation. They combine holistic and

traditional medicine practices in their treatment protocol and to me, that is a

wonderful thing. Unfortunately, they still promote vaccination, but, nobody's

perfect! :-)

Now I'll go back to lurking.

Iechyd da!
