Snoopy and Gina....it is good to know that there are people like yourselves who can relate to my situation and at the same time advise people not to fall in the trap of homeopaths who like to prescribe high potency remedies.

It has been close to about 2 months since I was administered silicea. Firstly gina as far as my homeopath is concerned he was neither willing to help me in this situation nor do I have any intentions of ever going back to him. I am still trying to get over the effects of silicea but in the mean time I decided to take matters into my own hands. After some research and advise from people on this forum I took one dose of heapr sulfuris 6x about 2 weeks back. It seemed to help a little initially, I kind of felt like myself for a while but then it seems like i started getting other aggravations from hepar. It seems to have flared up acne and also now i feel extremely hot, I also seemed to have had some hair falling and having very dry skin. I read that hepar is the same as silicea so I am also wondering how it is mentioned as an antidote.

So I have not taken anything to antidote silica since then and I am just hoping that in due course of time the effects might go away on their own. I have also just today gone and consulted my doctor and done a few tests to check my thyroid and blood work.

Homeopathic remedies are strong and powerful substances and must be handled with caution as they can cause one extreme and prolonged effects much of which cannot be understood nor antidoted by other remedies.
