I have used homeopathic remedies one a couple of occasions, but I really cannot tell if the treatment had any effect. Mostly because of the lack of symptoms to follow, but I will have a chance to test a hay fever remedy this fall.

My first question is have any fair studies been done that either proves or disproves the principle of homeopathy?

Another question is what conditions does Homeopathy work well for? For those who practice it, what are you using it for?

Thank you.

Dan

Hello Dan.

There have been scientific studies that have shown homeopathy to be effective. I think that with classical homeopathy, which is what I practice, it can be difficult because our remedies are based on the individual, so we hardly ever use just one remedy for one condition, unless we are using homeopathy in a first aid situation. So, the way classical homeopathy is administered makes it difficult to study in the same way that one would study a pharmaceutical drug. There are studies and if you do google searches you will come across them.

I have some very simple, straightforward information about homeopathy on my website. It's still a work in progress though and I would very much like to include studies in my homeopathy FAQ very soon.

I have used homeopathy for many conditions successfully. It is not as successful with very serious diseases such as MS or Parkinson's. I have definitely had success with allergies.

Hi Dan

You said you were using homoeopathic medications but had little symptoms to follow, what were you using homoeopathy for? Can you remember what was prescribed for you and why?

I would like to refer you to some studies I have found online that you may be interested in:

A randomised, controlled, triple-blind trial of the efficacy of homeopathic treatment for chronic fatigue syndrome.

Use of and satisfaction with homeopathy in a patient population.

However to date there is no conclusive evidence in support of or disputing the effect that homoeopathy has on disease management. There was one study in Lancet which claimed to prove that homoeopathy doesn't work, but there were major flaws in the study design and the article got retracted.

We know that it works, I just have to look at the number of my own patients I have helped who have gotten better to know that it does work. I have also seen the effects on myself when using homoeopathy to know that it works.

We are not sure how homoeopathy works. One theory is the memory of water, but this is also a controversial topic to discuss on a whole new thread.

Homoeopathy works for a wide array of conditions from acute conditions such as hay fever to chronic conditions such as lupus. The key is to have homoeopathy prescribed by a good practitioner. There are a lot of quacks out there, as I am sure Sonja will agree, who do homoeopathy no good. However homoeopathy used in the hands of a skilled practitioner, supported by the correct use of herbs and supplements can have phenomenal results.

One case that I will always remember, was with my own son, when he was about 8 months old. He woke us up in the middle of the night with screaming due to pain from teething. One dose of Chamomilla vulgaris 200Ch and he was calm and back to sleep within 5 minutes.

Babies do not demonstrate a placebo effect and I would love for someone to explain to me how the effect I saw on my son was no more than a placebo effect?

Here are some of the things I have seen cured either in me, someone close to me or people I have treated. These are really the main symptoms cured. So often other things cure along with the symptom of complaint, especially on the mental/emotional level. So when I say there was a cure of insomnia along with it goes the stress, the underlaying bad realationship or self-esteem issue or whatever mental picture was going on with it. In one case of eczema the child was having separation anxiety and bonding issues that got resolved with the eczema. You always consider the totality of the case. You have to look at the mentals...and use that picture to help select the remedy.

Mandrake you can find studies on homeopathy here. Go to Alternative Therapies on the site below and click on H then click on Homeopathy. These are done at a hospital in Pennsylvania I think.

Thanks Arrowwind09, checked it out. What a great resource.



You may also not be aware that the world health organisation has declared that homeopathy is the second most used medical system internationally. Visit here for details https://www.zeusinfoservice.com/Reports/10-1-06.html.

If this is the case how can so many people worldwide be using a system that is nothing more than a placebo?

Hi Just Me,

The woman I helped I never met. It as all done through the mail. She also only spoke Spanish so I chose to use Heel Homeopathic Remedies. She had been though the diagnostic mill and they found no treatment that was effective for her, hence she spent her day in a dark room unable to raise her children. She was the sister in law of a friend of mine.

I sent her Heel's Gelsemium Homaccord and Spigelon and told her to take as directed on the bottle plus repeat if she feels a headache coming on. In one month she was quite well and was caring for her family again. Checked back about 6 months later and she continued to be well. You can purchase them at www.iherb.com
If that had not have worked so well, say only partial releif I would have added Heel's Chelidonium Homaccord and possibly Coenzyme �ompositum and Ubichinon compostum. Because she didn't need these remedies it indicates in the Heel system that the disease was not too deeply rooted. If I came to think that there was a hormonal issue, as some migranes have, I would have included Hormeel.

I use a lot of Heel products, especially their injectables. They really do work great.

I particularly like the spascupreel, I give it subcutaneously as an injection over muscles that have gone into spasm. It works wonders to relax them.

This is especially useful if I am unable to relax a muscle effectively after massage, then the spascupreel does the rest of the job for me.
