Dear Anette,

It's good to hear that your daughter is getting better! I'm not very good at nutritional advices, but concerning the inflamed spots itself, as you may know, there is a thing called Direction of Cure, and in connection with skin symptoms it has been observed that things that clear up starting from above downwards, like, for example, the spots on the head clear up first while there may still appear other on the trunk and limbs, then the trunk gets better and finally the limbs, - so that the whole condition kind of moves downward - is usually indicative of a curative rather than suppressive response. So while this might not always be the case - depending on the condition, - if you happen to observe this "movement", than you have all reasons to hope for the best. THe asthmatic fit might have been a temporary outbreak in response to suppresive treatment, but to be sure of this you'll have to see what happens for at least one year from now. I do hope that you will not see more of this, but in case you do, it's very important to start some long-term treatment. In Chinese medicine (and language) there has always been a word meaning "constitution improvement", which would correspond to "immune system strengthening"... And asthma is a serious enough condition to fear - well, "fear" is not a good word, I think, we should not fear anything, but be able to reasonably anticipate, -worse things in the future - as the current state of constitution shows - if it will indeed show this. I personally do not have any homeopaths nearby, they are almost non-existent in Japan, but I'm taking treatment on-line from a homeopath living in the States, and all my family does, with whom I discuss everything over the phone or - when he needs to decide on a new remedy - over the internet camera, so we can actually see each other. I know of people who travel quite far to see their homeopath, because a good homeopath whom you personally find reliable is not easy to find, and people tend to change several homeopaths till they settle with someone who would truly help them. So, please, do not stop your search, and if possible - widen the scope! I myself am a student of the Devon Homeopathy School - located in Devon, of course, and so far all homeopaths that teach there seemed to me very good, and they do not all live in Devon, of course. Maybe you could contact the School - or some other good School - or the one that Gina mentioned, and they could recommend someone who is close to you or some other option?

In any case, it's good that your daughter is getting better, and I wish you all the best in your search!
