Is homoeopathy an effective mode of treatment ?

Question 1
Is homoeopathy an effective mode of treatment ?...  

Answers
1)   Its just water. - Taylor Gang

2)   How homoeopathy can be an effective treatment when in such a big country like India not a single full flagged homoeopathic hospital had grown up which can independently carry out human- treatment of all sorts. It is very much popular in the case of treatment of children. Any kind of medicine given to children causes more harm than good in general because of rapid system of natural body growth. Parents become nervous for their love ones went to a homoeopathic Doctor instead of allopathic treatment. A homoeopathic medicine that is given to a baby or child carries no meaning which has no good or bad effect. But it brings a satisfaction to parents as if they could have given a treatment to their love ones. The child gets cure by its natural course of body adjustment. But in the mean time homoeopathy get the credit of cure. If it really an effective method of treatment it must have an independent center where treatment of all kinds and all medicines with logic of research must have been available for interaction. - HP

3)   No, it's water.

Run it through a mass spec, it's water.

Water does not have memory either. - Rhianna does Medicine Year 1

4)   No, it is an outdated belief that has no place in modern healthcare.

In developed countries, homeopathy is considered a joke and only gullible people are duped by this nonsense. It's not used in hospitals and it's not used by doctors because it does not work.

Edit: Ignore nosey who just says anything that comes into her head without any evidence. Homeopathy is slowly drying up as people realise it has absolutely no benefits and no evidence it works at all. - dave

5)   Homeopathy is a 200 year old system of medicine that has an amazing track record of clinical success. There are over 200 modern studies that show it's effectiveness.
For more information see extraordinarymedicine.org
The website for the National Centre for Homeopathy in the U.S. is also an excellent resource and has a directory of well qualified professional Homeopaths.
The practise of Homeopathy worldwide is growing at a rate of about 30 per cent. It is the second most utilized form of medical practise worldwide.
People who attempt to discredit it have spent about 5 minutes "studying" it. Hence the childish remarks from people who conveniently ignore the fact that pharma drugs kill hundreds of thousands of people a year. If Allopathy worked Homeopathy would have died out a long time ago. If Homeopathy didn't work ditto. - thenoseknows

6)   In any discipline of medicine,
it is the patience and proficiency of the doctor
that will help diagnose an illness and find
an exact cure.

This is not happening in allopathy or homeopathy
or ayurvedic ones because of the above reason.

e.g.

If a stye is found on the upper lid of an eye,
just give "Staphysagria 200 (1 dr pills)
6 pills twice daily for three days, it will vanish
This is homeo medicine.

In allopathy, Soframycin ointment has to be
applied and an antibiotic to be taken.
The cure is delayed.

Our wiseness lies into going to a correct
doctor. - ARRAO

7)   Only for dehydration. - Dan van

8)   It is total fantasy Bullshit.

It's on about the same level as faith healers and the tooth fairy

The tooth fairy has been around for 200 years and that's not real either - Angelhil Xtra

9)   yes. it is a poor man's medicine with the least/no side effects.

The critics of Homeopathy should have an open mind and guts to accept the reality of life. Dr.Madan, an allopath after extensive research proved it beyond doubt about efficacy of homeopathy as and when allopathy fails.

Dr.S.C.Madan, MBBS.,FRCS[UK]MNC Homeo[USA], Delhi.

‘Homeopathy Cures Where Allopathy Fails’ – Areas where Homeopathy is taking over Allopathy. by Dr.SC Madan.He, with an open minded approach, has brought to bear his extensive research knowledge of Allopathy and Homeopatyhy to the best advantage of the Patient. - Dr.dhananjaya Bhupathi

10)   I love this treatment and refuse any "real doctors" why should you go to an office with other sick people when you can treat yourself at home. Its not just water, it cures your body by using a deluted illness to cure you. The more dillutied the stronger it truely is belive it or not. I havent seen a "real doctor" except to deliver my baby in over 6 years. - libby

11)   No, its water. - Bruce

12)   It definitely is, provided the concerned doctor has studied the case properly. The people from
man-Chester wouldn't know anything because they haven't studied it. Rest all parrot without
actually verifying. Good luck and God bless. Cheers! :o) - Sudhakar B

2)   Adrenergic Effects

Insulin overdose causes hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar. Many of the side effects associated with hypoglycemia are adrenergic side effects, meaning they occur from a release of adrenaline, or epinephrine. The body releases adrenaline in an attempt to quickly raise a too low blood sugar, Robert Cohen, M.D., of the University of Cincinnati, explains. Symptoms of adrenaline release include hunger, shakiness, cold sweats, irritability, anxiety, rapid heart rate, paleness, and numbness and tingling in the extremities, according to Dr. Kathleen Ethridge of Northeast Texas Community College.

Neurological Effects

A reduction in the blood glucose supply to the brain causes many of the effects of insulin overdose, according to Ethridge. These symptoms, known as neuroglycopenia effects, include inability to concentrate or think clearly, confusion, abnormal behavior, slurred speech, blurry vision, dizziness and headache. A person with an insulin overdose may be extremely lethargic and fatigued, or may act mentally disturbed or have personality changes.

Serious Effects

Insulin overdose can be extremely dangerous. The body needs glucose to carry out all its functions, and when levels fall too low, a person may have seizures, lose consciousness or go into a coma. Insulin overdose can result in death if not treated promptly. Treatment of severe overdose consists of administration of glucose. Glucose is given orally to people who remain conscious, but more often requires intravenous infusion in the hospital. - Brandon Marx

3)   Things can get bad, I know this firsthand (4 grandparents and father died in a year and a half timespan-my grandfather committed suicide). I have friends that were raped, abused, had siblings that died, were in accidents that caused them to be paralyzed. You need to think about how this will affect everyone one know and care about. It will make life harder for them. Even as bad as things are there will be a time in your life where you really make a difference in the lives of others. It will make enduring everything worth it. - Survivalist

Question 3
Natural ways to get rid of Headaches while Pregnant?...  I'd just like to know a few alternatives to tylenol.. Thanks.

Answers
1)   Have you tried using an ice pack on your forehead? I hate to use medication of any kind so that is what I do for mine. - Goobybeast

2)   Depends on the kind of headache. For sinus headache, try menthol ointment under the nose to break up congestion (which will reduce the pain). For stress headaches try relaxation techniques like yoga or meditation.

I use self hypnosis for migraine pain, it's not hard to learn. You can find books to learn how on Amazon, or maybe even at the local library.

FYI: taking tylenol every now and then is not dangerous, as long as your doctor has o.k.'ed it during your pregnancy. - Molly B

3)   scuba diving is supposed to help - Daley Crunch

4)   How far into your pregnancy are you exactly? Do you normally suffer from headaches?

It's not uncommon to get headaches during pregnancy, especially in the early stages, but If they are severe and persistent, it might be worth having your blood pressure checked (it probably will be anyway, as part of the routine checks in pregnancy) to exclude high blood pressure. It is essential to seek medical advise, if at any stage during your pregnancy your headaches are accompanied by (or occur on their own) blurred vision, high abdomen pain, and swelling of the hands, face or feet.

Try to avoid the usual triggers like caffeine. Also eat little and often, stay hydrated and get adequate rest. Paracetamol in moderation is probably about the safest drug you can take. There are no alternatives, I'm afraid.

Do be careful with herbs, many are contraindicated during pregnancy.

You might also try swimming, exercise may help. - Rhianna does Medicine Year 1

5)   There are several kinds of drug free headache treatments in the UK but I don't know if you have them where you are. One of the best I have tried is called for head and contains levomenthol. It comes as a stick which you can rub on your forehead and temples. Or try your local healthfood shop or somewhere that sells aromatherapy oils. They may have a ready made treatment but make sure they know you are pregnant because some treatments contain lavender which is best avoided in pregnancy. If not you could get some peppermint oil and blend a few drops with a carrier oil such as sweet almond and massage your neck, shoulders, forehead and temples with it. Or better still get someone to do it for you. Also make sure you keep yourself well hydrated and try to relax as much as possible as the most common causes of headaches are dehydration and stress. - Tasha

6)   Ice is a great idea, crushed and placed in a freezer bag wrapped in a towel. But rather than on the forehead, I would lie down with it placed in the crook of the back of the neck at the base of the skull and perhaps extending down to the top of the shoulder blades. You could also try a soothing essential oil like lavender or clary sage--place a few drops on a tissue and place it over your nose while reclining. - Rick

7)   Stick with the Tylenol; it is very safe. - Bruce

8)   Buy some Vicks Vapor rub which everyone should have in the house anyway in the event of a stuffy nose and /or chest congestion. Or you could buy the store brand. This contains camphor and menthol and when rubbed on the temples or also forehead will relieve a headache. No side effects . You find it in the cough and cold section ..it's in a jar. Do not buy the Vicks that is liquid and goes in a vaporizer. Right now I have Wal Marts 'Equate vaporizing rub'. There is also eucalyptus oil in it. works great to get rid of that headache
congratulations on the new baby!!!! - Beverley Mitchell

9)   Acupressure works wonders. There are plenty of websites with instructions and helpful tips.
If this is a chronic problem you can see a professional Homeopath. Homeopathy has no contraindications in pregnancy or breastfeeding. - thenoseknows

Question 4
What do injections feel like?...  Im having a jab for diptherea, hooping cough and tetnus and I was wondering what it feels like ?

Answers
1)   Ticklish, a little bit painful, but mostly weird. Depends on how big the needle is. :L - Gin Ichimaru

2)   Infections feel a LOT worse than the pinprick required for their vaccines. - Sam

3)   They feel like an ant biting... - hk

4)   It may sting for 1-2 seconds when the needle first goes in and that's it. There is no pain involved, so don't even give it a second thought. Nothing on earth to worry about. - Nurse For 21 Years

5)   Those above are unsupportive answers, really. First, it feels rather like being pinched, then there's a feeling rather like if you were pressing a small piece of metal (not pointed) onto your skin. There's nothing to worry about at all - they don't actually hurt. If you're worried, just look away when they do it - that way, you may hardly notice it. If it feels uncomfortable afer, just rub it lightly.

Chin up - diphtheria is much worse! - alanq1952

6)   like the end of the world. im sorry

so so sorry - Daley Crunch

Question 5
How do these so called natural supplements help in joint pains?...  One gets to see a lot of ads about natural products claiming success at pain management. Most of them have antioxidants as their main ingredient. Also, the variety and pricing is mind boggling. Can somebody shed some light on this

Answers
1)   Hi, I’m an active home maker in my mid fifties and started having arthritic issues since about a year. I’ve researched enough to find that antioxidants support and protect joint tissue on a cellular level and help the body balance its inflammation cycle. Go ahead and try Jobelyn Antioxidant capsules (sometimes they come with a money back guarantees) by Health Forever. - ?

2)   A lot of info on the links...

3)   Some of the ingredients will reduce swelling and inflammation, others help with pain, and others help rebuild damaged cartiledge. Conventional drugs are just painkillers -- they don't do anything to repair damage and many, like cortisone derivatives, will destroy cartiledge even further.
Find a health food store that has a certified holistic nutritionist and they'll give you the rundown on the best product(s) for you. Homeopathic treatment is also excellent for treating and removing the cause of osteoarthritis and even rheumatoid arthritis. - thenoseknows

4)   You got me...It may help.
http://ziji.info/237412/natural-supplement - Mae Ball

5)   They don't.

Sure you can see plenty of adverts for them (as shown by RA) but actual evidence? Nope, but there's a heck of a lot of money to be made by exploiting other people's suffering. - dave

6)   They don't. That's why there are so many different ones, with different ingredients. - Bruce
