Hello all,

I just have a simple (or is it complicated?) question. How long does it take to arrive at a remedy that will help you?

I ask because I'm arriving at a desperation point. I've been seeing a homeopath (off and on) for more than 7 years now. According to my ND it takes a min of 10 hours to get to know a patient and root out the needed remedy. But of course, no one can spend 10 hours with a ND! Anyway, I estimate that I've spent more than 25 hours (stretched over that time) with this homeopath.

As well, it may help to know that this ND has also been treating other family members (so he is aware of extra info) and that at one point, several years ago, out of what I can only think was sheer frustration, he told me that he wouldn't be able to help me and that I should seek another homeopath. I was very heartbroken because I guess I had always hoped that homeopathy and this specific ND would be able to help me - and I guess I still do. Anyway, I went back to him several years later and he informed me that he had undergone a lot of growth and maturation and we plowed right back in again. My latest remedies have been Conium (no real effect that I can remember) and Calcarea Silicata 200 (just a few days ago), if that helps at all.

Anyway, at which point should I draw a line in seeking another avenue or another homeopath? Is it normal for homeopathy to take so long? Or am I just really screwed up?

Thanks for your input.
