Homeopathics, do they work?!

I don't get why IGNORANT people say it is rubbish..Don't post in the alternative health section if you do not agree morons!

Holistic health WAS modern medicine back when there were no medicines..Don't deny it....do your research!!

If they were rubbish, they would not exist..Simply that..

It's sad that people do not believe and choose to be absolutely stupid when it comes to this..Cancer can be prevented and treated with certain herbs..

They are there for a reason......nature had the power to heal..

People claiming that it's all a scam really have no room to talk because ANYBODY can grow herbs..There really is no profit unless you buy into bogus companies with bogus claims..

Very opposite of the medical industry that charges an *** load and ends up making you sick..

To each their own..

Mind over matter doesn't work all the times idiots..Let them take their dangerous drugs that hurt the body..

Instead of taking prescription medications for anxiety, I use an amino acid and it works very well..

As for the OP, If you do decide to take herbs and whatnot, be sure to find a suitable company..Often herbs are not potent at those "supplements for cheap" sites and will not work nearly as well..Try a natural food store..

Be VERY careful when using Arsenicum..Why may I ask are you taking it.? chances are you can find other herbs that can help with whatever you are trying to relive..

slow accumulation of the element in body tissues can cause harm to your body..Health Question & Answer

Yes they work, i have used homeopathy through a qualified homeopath for the last 10 years and am amazed by the results.. So much so i started studying to be a homeopath..

Each remedy is made as others have described above, a little of the substance taken and diluted down, sucussed inbetween each dilution..

The substances used are anything and everything under the sun eg.. sepia = cuttlefish ink, lycopodium = a moss, ars = arsenic, bell = belladona etc..

As far as i am concerned the proof is in the results of using the remedies, i dont care that scientists cant prove things.. I guess you need to be in the realms of quantum physics to maybe start proving things like homeopathy, but i personally am happy to accept what i have seen and what i have personally experienced..

As for placebo effects apparently the biggest placebo effect is a man in a white coat with a large needle! The next is a man in a white coat with a large, nasty tasting coloured pill, and so on and so forth, the average looking person offering a tiny white sugar pill is a fair bit further down the list of placebo effects!Health Question & Answer

I think they are rubbish but there is the placebo effect, if you believe they can work they may do, i take herbal sleeping pills and i do benefit,
recently my blood pressure has been getting a bit high and my gp put me on beta blockers, they made me very tired and unwell because i did not believe in them, yesterday my gp gave me another type of blood pressure pill called amlovasc and i took one, read the instructions found the possible side effects horrific, so do not believe in them, today i just thought positive about my blood pressure and stopped salt and guess what it has started to go down..

Another example is ranitadine, rotten drug for heartburn i have taken for many years however the side effects are bad and i want to take as few pills as humanely possible, so i'm thinking positive about my heartburn, stopped taking them a few days ago and trying nibbling a small bit of bland food if i get heartburn..Health Question & Answer

It is a bit long, but take it in sections.. It's the correct answer.. I'm a homeopath..

Homeopathy works because the active part of it is the same energy as that of the disease (like cures like - this is very true), but it has been distorted by succussion.. Succussion is when you shake the bottle and hit it against the palm of your hand between each dilution (or it's done by machines)..

This succussion makes the energy of the substance unrecognizable to the body which therefore makes all efforts to reject it - and at the same time it rejects all identical energy, which includes the energy of your disease as well.. Therefore you get at the same time rid of whatever caused your disease..

In homeopathy you take the substance that would normally give you the same symptoms as you are having now.. This is "likes cure likes".. I give you an example..

When you can't sleep, you should take homeopathic Coffee (coffea cruda), because coffee prevents you from sleeping.. Your body will reject the energy of the homeopathic coffee (which is distorted and unrecognizable) and in so doing it rejects whatever "acted like coffee" and prevented you from sleeping in the first place.. The result is that you now can sleep..

The dilutions in homeopathy have to do with whether the cause is physical (low dilutions) mental (higher dilutions) or emotional (very high dilutions) so we can give you exactly what you need according to the cause of your problem..

The fact that you get worse before getting better is the phase when the body starts fighting the unrecognizable energy and brings up all the similar symptoms.. Very good sign in all homeopathy treatment! It means that the remedy was spot on!

How it is made:

It is very easy and sometimes very beneficial to make your own homeopathic remedies! And everybody should learn this as more and more remedies are being removed from the market as they work too well..

It would be too long to explain in details, but basically you take one drop of mother tincture (the substance to be taken which has been dissolved in pure alcohol) and mix it with 100 drops of water.. Shake 20-30 times and hit the bottle on your palm each time you shake.. You've got a dilution at 1 CH (= one 100th Hahnemann)..

Take one drop of this in a new bottle and mix it with 100 drops of water and go thru the same process.. You've got 2 CH etc...... etc
