Well established that homeopathy is no more effective than placebo. It does not work except by allowing gullible to feel that somehow it is more 'natural' and therefore safer and less harmful than proper drugs. This is absolute tosh. It is not natural and homeopathic medication is at best so dilute as to be totally ineffective and at worst potentially very dangerous. It is not more natural than many proper drugs that are tested to,ensure safety. Digoxin for heart failure, for example, is from the foxglove. Penicillin is a mould based antibiotic - perfectly natural. Herbal,stuff can also be potent and risky. St Johns Wort has huge serious interactions and causes all sorts of problems. Black Cohosh prevents cancer treatments working. Of course, the odd dose of Oil of evening primrose isn't going to do much harm but people need to be careful. Now homeopathy - I have seen gold given for weakness and excessive bruising in a child, for example. Tragically, the child had a leukaemia that went undiagnosed until it was too late. Homeopathy and herbal stuff is fine for things that will get better anyway - Echinacea for colds is pretty harmless and allows people to think they are preventing/ treating colds ( research would suggest otherwise) I would strongly suggest, particularly with children, that you developed a relationship with a doctor you trust to give good advice. Acupuncture, however, is shown to be effective in many conditions. .

Dr Javed at Dubai Homeopathy Health Centre studied in India where they get a lot of experience because the number of people who use homeopathy as opposed to Europe where they see less patients and I find their prescribing not proactive enough. In acute cases like injuries they will prescribe one dose of arnica in a low potency but I have found repeated dosing for injuries like bruises and sprains can be resolved within a very short time with higher potencies repeating every 15 mins. Dr Javed has also studied with George Vithoulkas in Greece and attends the summer courses for difficult cases almost every year. When he graduated he was one of his top students. Hi Yes I do, I've had quite a lot of experience with treatment from him. My son had vitiligo after a shock, I had hypothyroidism 20 yrs ago, we've all been treated by him. I know a lot of people who have been to him for treatment of various conditions, polycystic ovaries, children's illnesses, heart problems.... one 80 yr old who could stop taking her meds. Another colleague who had mitral valve regurgitation and could hardly exercise who now goes skiing for hours. Many children who have developmental/behavioural issues and they have had very good results. If the experience is so good for people and you feel others can benefit, one can't help but tell others. As far as the poster saying they print out their own certificate at home, the Department of health in Dubai has very strict procedures for people wanting to pass their homeopathy exams and they have to be able to answer a lot of medical questions as well.

Does anyone know of any homeopathic doctors that are peadatricians? Not likely As one is a proper medical qualification and the other is a piece of paper that they made themselves and printed out on their inkjet at home.

Love all the comments in pro of holistic therapy!!! He have been so conditioned to expect symptom relief, that we forgot about the healing process; where the real benefits are. Most of modern medicine only offers "band-aids"; you have pain, here this will stop the pain. But the real question is, where is the pain coming from? what is the body trying to tell us?. Unfortunately, we ignore the symptoms by putting "band-aids" on them until is too late, and then we have to address the root cause with surgery and at the end we think we just have bad luck. Poor us! Only if we had listen. -- I hope you feel better after the detox and see results on your skin soon. PS: revising your diet can also have very positive effects on your skin, remember "let food be thy medicine" & "we are what we eat"

Any recommendations for a really specialized homeopath? I'd prefer someone who has done a lot of research, as opposed to one who has only received educational qualification. I do want educationally qualified, but that backed with research and practice is what I am really looking for. If anyone has any recommendations I would greatly appreciate them.

You should read Snake Oil by John Diamond..... really good read about alternative medicines. Or, specific to homeopathy (and not specifically anti....!) http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2007/nov/16/sciencenews.g2 SJA, would be interested in your views?

"Things getting worse before they get better" Sounds about right to me! (think of the appearance of a bruise, or how you progress during a viral infection) I am not an expert, or in any way involved in the medical field--but when I did colon hydrotherapy I can relate to this mantra personally so I thought I would chime in. With this hydrotherapy, my body was releasing toxins, and it can cause a nasty feeling! I was nauseated and did not feel like eating--things like that during the 48 hours post session. Then I would feel quite a lot better. After the subsequent sessions--same thing--48 hours of feeling woozy, then feeling even better than before the session. Eventually this did subside, and after 7-8 sessions, I discontinued the treatments because I felt that I had gotten the results I was after. My skin began to glow, and I would have to say that your skin is the diary of your health to a great extent.

Dear Friends I urgently need the number of Dr.Sophie skogen or any other good homeopathic doctor which anyone can recoomend? DH is sick and needs some homeopathic treatment urgently. I have been trying to contact Dr Sophie skogen but her number posted in EW Forum is not a working number. Your help will be much appreciated. Sure, although I now treat myself unless I have something I cannot figure out but, I have been to quite a few over the years :-) and found all to be great Dr's. However, my all time favourites where/are Dr Ryan Penny ( he no longer see's patients) and Dr Sofie Skogen. I have also seen Dr Brenda and Dr Sean Penny ( both DHTC) and finally Dr lanelle. All homeopaths will practice in a slightly different way as they are treating you as an individual and your symptoms.. its not all about your illness with Homeopaths and that is what makes it brilliant in my mind. ( can you tell I am studying this topic;-)

I am also studying Homeopathic medicine and agree with what the other positive posters are saying - your body is just responding with a "healing crisis" and is in fact attempting to try and get better. Good luck to you, try to stick it out and I am sure you will see great results. As to other negative comments on here from certain posters, I always think of a saying "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all". I think some users of EW could benefit from logging off, getting out a little more and learning how to socialise nicely.... In defence of alternate medicine here in UAE, all practitioners need to sit a stringent MOH exam after showing evidence of their qualifications and work experience back in their home country. These are the same criteria needed as mainstream doctors in order to be able to practice here. Well written post SJA. Homeopathic and alternative medicine is an area I have not explored but has interested me as far as I would like to know more. What resources would you suggest I look at? Hey CT, good question.... um, most of my text books are quite sciencey (not a real word!) and detailed and probably not very interesting for starters, particuarly the homeopathic ones which are very science based. For general more alternative ideas with a nutritional focus (more my interest and everyday use) I often recommend to people a book called "Prescription for Nutritional Healing" by Phyliss A. Balsch, 4th Edition. If for example your skin is XXX, you look up the symptoms and it has suggestions for what nurtrients and vitamins are missing in your body, how to get them and also some easy remedies. Interesting reading and have seen it in the shops here before too. From memory you are a vegetarian with an interest in food etc so this book might appeal. "Principles and Practice of Phytotherapy - modern herbal medicine" by Simon Mills and Kerry Bone is also a good read but not sure if that is available here, got my text in Australia. Hope that helps, if you have any more specific stuff you want to know about let me know and I can try to direct you to the right info. :)

Alternative therapies and medicines are fantastic! I can't tell you how many times people I know have had excellent results, where conventional medicine has failed spectacularly. It stands to reason that you'll feel worse before you get better as the body is ridding itself of all the toxins and nasty stuff that's built up. So many people forget that what you put into your body, affects the outer part and is expressed in the quality of your skin and so on. My view is absolutely do not knock something unless you've tried it. <em>edited by Chocs01 on 21/03/2011</em>

I totally agree SJ aussie. I sometimes why people post such un-constructive comments that frankly don't benefit anyone. Thank you for your positive response. I did see my homeopath again today and she said the same...its all positive it seems.

Hi Sticky wicket, not quite sure why you felt it necessary to post a negative comment here... Had you read my post properly, you would have realised that I HAD spoken to my homeopath. I was merely stating to Jussie that it was infact obvious that she knew a lot about homeopathy. At no point in time did she offer me medical advice in replacement for me seeing a dr! In fact she encouraged me to contact my homeopath. Sorry but I did find your comments rather rude and dismissive of people's intellect. I hardly think people are gonna look for medical advice on EW! we are merely sharing experiences...

Good morning to you Sticky Wicket:) I did in fact tell the OP to contact her homeopath! Yassy did just that and the rest of the response is about her homeopath's response and not mine. Each to their own with regard to Homeopathy being money making quackery:) Yassy, glad your Homeopath is explaining the process to you. Do keep her informed and trust your instincts, if you feel something is very wrong then, of course see a regular Dr. Good luck with the rest of your Detox and I hope you will see a marked improvement in your skin:) Wishing you both a nice day.

Thank you Jussie! you definitely know your stuff...I'm seeing dr Ludmilla, have you heard of her? Peladilla and Sticky Wicket, Thank you for your response...its very difficult to get poisinning from homeopathic meds as they are very diluted. I have called my homeopath and she said that with homeopathy, you generally feel worse before you feel better...its a normal process apparently. I'm really glad to hear that, seriously I was thinking either poisoning or an allergic reaction!! Seriously you are taking the word of a poster on EW re medical advice?????? Get yourself down to a Qualified Doctor and if you must one that does Homeopathy as well, but first and foremost a qualified medical doctor.

Homeopathy is most definitely one of the best holistic treatments one can have. What you experience is usually called a "healing crisis" and is a positive sign that your body responds to treatment. No quackery, that! And you can deduct that from one internet posting can you? WOW!!!
