Has anybody here ever used a homeopathic remedy for either an acute or chronic symptom? Did it help?!
Question: Yes. I was having a problem with ovarian cysts. souldoctor on Yahoo! Answers advised me on what to do. I used the remedy Apis and I am still taking it. I feel better and the cysts have shrunk and will hopefully leave altogether. Conventional doctors wanted to do surgery and I was squeamish about that. Then they recommended birth control pills which did not seem to help much. Homeopathic remedies are safe, inexpensive and they do work.

I have used homeopathic candida for chronic yeast infections... yes, it helped. Also I have used Hyland's Nerve Tonic for anxiety and panic, and that helped.
I find that homeopathic meds are inconsistent, though. For some conditions, they work great, and for others, not so much. I don't depend on them because when I have some kind of serious condition, I get afraid they won't work, and then I think I'm throwing money away when I should be getting other medications.
I trust Chinese medicine and acupuncture the most.
Yes!!! I ask a question on yahoo about end stage liver disease and soul doctor told me some homopathic medicine to take.Let me add I was so sick my roommate had to do things for me I could NOT do. Like cleaning myself and feeding myself. I was near a coma(I think).He had to keep shaking me to remind me to chew. I am talking almost dead. I have been taking these remedys and I feel better than I have in what seems forever. I even went shopping using wheelchair at Winn Dixie. Today I am cooking and doing laundry. This is a miracle. I am doing so good my roomate ask me to contact him and see if he (soul doctor) would help him also. Both my roomate and myself have seen homopathy in action.You ask Did it Help? I am a living example. I thank soul doctor and God for helping me find him. Anything else you want to know about how I feel im or email me. I am listed.
Extremely high cholesterol - used supplements and diet. Got it to a perfect level in 1 1/2 months. Totally amazed my doctor.
Had chronic hives - did a 30 day colonix and detox from Dr. Natura and have never gotten hives again! It's been over 1 year and I remain hive free!
YES!, works great! When my little girl was about four years of age she began to cough, cough, cough, down, down, down, then wheeze back up trying to catch her breath, then again cough, cough, cough, down then wheeze back up over and over again, so I took her to a Dr. who gave me nothing or told me nothing as I waited for results, so I took her to another Dr. and again I found myself leaving without any information from him so I asked him, Doc so whats up dude? He said "oh shes getting bronchitis, then I asked "well aren't you going to prescribe anything? "He said no, theres nothing you can do, she's getting it and that's that, so I went to V P Discount health food store and bought a small little bottle of homeopathic remedy for her type of cough, labeled (Bronchitis and it worked, but when the bottle finished she began again, this went on a few times, so I finally bought about 4 bottles this time and that's when it went away completely. then the above same happened when my son began to wet the bed at about the same age, same thing until I bought 4 bottles and gave one after the other, he stopped.
I am a Homeopathic Practitioner and have been prescribing and using Homeopathic medicine for more then 20 years now. when prescribed exactly according to the patients symptoms, in acute Symptoms Homeopathic medicine works very very fast and in chronic symptoms the progress is graduall but the relief is almost instant. Chronic symptoms develop slowly and over a long period of time and cannot be eradicated overnight. Usually people contact a Homeopathic physician when they have exhausted all of other resources and then they expect instant cure which is not possible, the symptoms which come on suddenly and with great intensity are cured equally fast with Homeopathic medicine most of the time just a single dose of the appropriate remedy cures almost instantly in most of the cases.
Just remember Homeopathy treats the patient not the disease, once you cure the patient all of their disease and disorders are cured totally unlike conventional medicine which tries to treat the symptoms of the disease and end up creating more problems in the health of the patient which cannot be called a cure. A cure is when the patient starts to feel healthy in everyway and only Homeopathy has shown the results without any side effects or complications.
As for the critics of Homeopathy I assume they have a lot to learn where curng is concerned.
Homeopathy is the new school of smart medicine which CURES 100% without any side effects or complications and its a total beauty :o).
I got interested in Homeopaty when our conventional medicine all but killed me while TRYING to treat my Typhoid in 1979, it failed in both :o) I was cured from Typhoid (no thanks to allopathy) and I am still alive(Thanks to Homeopathy) I never looked towards allopathy after that, and never used any conventional medication since for me Homeopathy works like magic. Ask the nay sayers how can water cure someone like Opal1948 :o). I have a huge list of people in almost the same situation whom allopathy totally failed and left them to die and because of Homeopathy they are still alive and totally healthy. Homeopathy is placebo ! Huh (what a joke makes me laugh out loud) and the joke is on our conventional doctors who are blinded to the truth with their greed ! I mean what utter stupidity.
Listening to our Pharmeceutical propaganda against Homeopathy I should say they are better Jester then Healers which they arn't. Sad but true.
I would suggest you try Homeopathy and decide for yourself.
Take Care and God Bless you and your loved ones.
Edit :- The Thumbs Down to our answers are a living proof of the pharmaceutical industry getting scared about Homeopathy :o)
Take care
Absolutely.
I'm a bit confused as to what othe sort of symptom there might be though. Acute refers to something short ( or rapid onset), while chronic refers to something long-lasting. This, to me seems to indicate that your question means simply "has anyone here used a homeopathic remedy for ANY symptom?"
Sorry if I seem a bit technical, but I'm an editor and a writer by trade.
I've used homeopathic cold remedies before. I tend to use more herbal remedies though. Not because either is more efficacious by my experience, but simply because I have more experience with herbals. I have found homeopathic remedies to be effective for some symptoms. I am actually thinking of trying them with a daughter who has a quite rare and chronic disease.
In short, it has worked in the past for me. So have herbals. I don't have enough experience to know specifically when one will work better than another. I do understand the principle behind both.
Homeopathy is a "like cures like" system; not entirely different from our current system of vaccination; our body remembers what made us ill and rails against a reinfection. Homeopathy works on a similar principle, but usually gentler, and with effect on current rather than future disease. It is somewhat like "The hair of the dog that bit you". I don't know about Soul Doctor, but it has been the practice traditionally of many Homeopaths to actually experiment with the substances, to discover their effects prior to formulating them into homeopathic prescriptions. The study and practice was not mere book-learning, but quite experiential.
Herbalism, in many places is quite experiential as well, and often, in some cultures can seem quite unscientific. Some practitioners will take an hallucinogenic combination of herbs, and the herbs and plants of the area will actually tell the practitioner their uses. They may change from herbalist to herbalist. Other cultures study the herbs in a Western or Scientific fashion, and indeed, this is where we get MANY modern medicines from, including aspirin, Digitalis and others. Indeed an extract of the milk-thistle seed is the only known cure for the death-cap mushroom, and has been known to effect remarkable cures in people with damaged livers. (The death-cap mushroom destroys the liver. The only other cure, to the best of my limited knowledge, for damage from the death-cap mushroom is a liver transplant.)
Many claim that homeopathic remedies (some claim this for herbals as well) only act as placebos. They claim that knowledge that one is doing something for a condition is all that is needed in many cases to effect a cure. I know many herbalists, and I would suspect that some homeopaths would say "If the placebo effect works, by all means, utilize it". The human body has remarkable healing powers of its own, and many of these are rallied by the conscious or unconscious use of mind.
The trouble with the simplistic attribution of placebo effect to healing is that (especially with homeopathics, where the "active ingredient" would be water) is simply that the different elements produce different effects. We also live in a world where our understanding of cells is just beginning to show us how little understanding we actually have.
When I was in grade-school, some 40 years ago, I was learning that science had discovered that EVERYTHING WE ARE can be explained through genetics. All that was needed to create another "ME" was included in the nucleus of my cells, in my DNA. Science has now discovered "epigenetics". Our cells have memory, which can be passed from generation to generation, outside of our DNA. Smoking, even if not done during pregnancy, can affect the health of your offspring. If your father experienced famine during his teen years, it can change the life of YOUR child, in a dramatic way. These changes and effects have been studied and it is shown beyond doubt that environmental conditions do affect cells in a way that is passed from generation to generation without modifying DNA.
We are constantly learning just how much we DON'T understand about our world, and to claim that with our remarkable knowledge that we can know without doubt that something that has shown itself to work for so many is pure fancy seems to be an exhibition of hubris. Just take a look at the work of Masaru Emoto.
There will be lots of disagreement; at least for as long as I have yet to live. Some discount subjective evidence in favor of what can be proved. They toss out the concept of placebo as ineffective (at least until they run out of drugs, at which point they tell patients that they are being given a reserved and highly effective pain reliever ... it's happened in the past in desperate situations) in favor of what works in double-blind studies. Doses of reality are sacred.
Here's one of my major objections to allopathy. We are told to discount the placebo effect. We do trials often on "terminal patients". A patient is told that their cancer is terminal and incurable, but there is a new drug that has potential hope. Basically, "You're going to die, but we want to try this." Does not the negative placebo effect have a place as well? How many potential remedies have been tossed in the ash can simply because a patient has been stripped of hope in the first place?
Might it not be the case that having been given an enforced reliance on "traditional" allopathic medicine, elevating physicians to the level of gods who can predict life and death, and looking to other modalities as a hope of last resort, that many who seek out such treatment do so only after having been programmed to believe that absolutely nothing will work? The human hope to get and remain well plays a huge part in doing so. What is called the placebo effect can work as well in a negative fashion. If we believe that our condition is incurable and terminal, it very well could be, and NO TREATMENT may work. This is the bane of a condition called chronic by an esteemed healer of any sort. This is also why you are less likely to hear the word "un-treatable" from an herbalist, homeopath or naturopath.
Anyway, sorry to go on like this. I guess the short answer to your question is ....
yes.
