How are homeopathic remedies prescribed?!


Question: I've heard many supporters of homeopathy stating that it treats the cause of the disease. In fact, I've heard this used in a deragatory fashion towards modern medicine when enthusists claim that modern doctors only treat symptoms.

If homeopathy actually treats the cause of illness, then why are the remedies prescribed bases solely on symptoms?

They prescribe them strictly by symptoms. I've also found it funny that they insult real doctors who actually treat the causes of diseases (you know, kill bacteria, kill cancer, vaccinate, etc), while forgetting that their magic potions are given solely on the basis of symptoms.

From what I know (and I'm limited on homoeopathy), it treats the causes of illnesses by treating your emotional health rather than your physical health. So, for example, if you have IBS because you're stressed they treat you with something to ease the stress and worry rather than the anti-spasmodics that you get from western medicine. Fair enough, sometimes you go to the GP and they give you anti-depressants for IBS, and that's using the same idea, but it seems to be done more in homoeopathy.

Your body is intricate to say the least.

The way homeopathy works is it introduces a bug or virus or something that will activate your body's defense mechanisms. "Releasing the hounds" sort of. You want to MATCH the homeopathic "bug" with your symptoms or disease. When your body's defense system (white, red blood cells etc) is awakened it goes after the minor amount of the "bug" that is present from the homeopathic remedy. On the way it runs into all sorts of "other" bugs and it kills them to get them out of the way and proceeds to what you've introduced with the homeopathic. By the time it wastes the minor "bug" that you intro'd it has killed everything in it's path, thus knocking out your disease or malfunction in the process.

The WEIRDEST thing about homeopathics is that the MORE strength you want the weaker the dose. When you check homeo's it will say 30x or 200x or 6x on the label. This is the dilution ratio. So if you want to really kick a++ on something you use the 200x ... that means it is diluted 200 times. If you want to take out a minor case and you don't need much you take a 6x which is diluted 6 times. Go figure. I still have not figured out that one. I need to ask that question here prb.

Another example. Medico's will treat cancer by radiating you to near death hoping to kill the cancer before they kill you. Or they will go in and rip open your body and CUT the cancer or tumor out of your body. The problem is that something is causing your body to make that tumor or cancer so it will just make another one. Homeopathy treats your disease by finding out WHAT is causing the DIS - EASE. It goes to the root of the problem and wipes it out there. Like with cancer. Normally a chemical imbalance or a lack of a vital nutrient or poor eating habits. There's a woman in Oregon or Washington who claims that most problems like diabetes and arthritis are caused by eating disorders. She recommends a new diet that she prescribes and the patient is miraculously cured.
But ... there IS a need for modern medicine too. We have the BEST emergency medicine in the WORLD here in the USA. BUT we have the WORST preventative medicine in the WORLD. So you take the homeopathics for the preventive part and if all else fails and you need to "nuke" it you go to a medico for an anti-biotic. In India there is NO SUCH THING as using anti-biotics b/c they are very invasive, sometimes killing good things along with the bad. They use Ayurvedics which work REALLY well. A person who wants to stay healthy will balance the use of homeopathics, ayurvedics, and when the worst comes along modern medicine. But there is room for ALL of them.
Young doctors in school right now are finally being taught about natural remedies and homeopathics. There will be a time soon that your doctor will actually know what he's doing. He will no longer say that he is PRACTICING medicine he will say that he KNOWS medicine and what he's doing. There are many of them out there already. Our job is to find them when we need them.

Hope this answers your question.

Homeopathy works by addressing "like cures like" small doses of the actual plant , animal or mineral is successed to create a remedy, in a well individual these same substances would cause the symptoms as in a unwell ( person with the symptoms) it would "cure" the symptoms. Also, homeopathy isn't always the easiest to prescribe because for ex. one individual with the flu may not be prescribed the same remedy as another that has flu symptoms. This is because homeopathy is prescribed for each person individualy. Homeopathy addresses many factors like the likes, dislikes , time of day symptoms worsen or better, what makes it better, foods an individual likes and dislikes, what aggrevates, what season is preferred, what climate is liked or disliked, areas of the body that are in disharmony. There is much to be considered before prescribing Homeopathic remedies. I my self am a studying Naturopath(earning my certification). This is an area I found to have been advantageous when the correct remedy has been taken, if the wrong one is taken nothing changes within the individual and then nothing would happen to bring about wellness. Just keep plugging at it. Sometimes it takes years to get good at it.

Homeopathy is a sham. Placebo at best.

Not sure that homeopathic remedies are worth anything. It is very shaky science. Keep in mind that homeopathic medicine is different from naturopathic medicine such as nutritional supplements. There is real value in those. You can research different brands at www.nutritionaltree.com and make good choices.
