This is an account not of myself but of a close friend. 3 years ago, he got carpal tunnel, which quickly spread to tendinitis, and then turned into fibromyalgia (maybe, but no one is quite sure). At the same time, he had been succesfully hiding a bi-polar disorder for many years, until he was hit with the physical trauma and his mind could no longer cope with both.

He started seeing a homeopath and making some diet changes as his only course of treatments. The last thing he wanted was Morphine and Lithium. It has been 1 1/2 years since he started the treatment and he is doing so well.

Mentally he is evening out remarkably well, and the remedies help with that amazingly. He is creating again and actually able to control his impulses. Physically he is much better, he no longer uses a cane and he is able to function throughout the day.
I guess I'm writing this because so often people see mental ilness as a road with no cure, only palliation. With homeopathy, he is moving slowly but steadily towards cure. It is a long lonely road, doctors list you as non-compliant, some family members see you as uncooperative and don't understand. The stigma of mental illness is everywhere. Even some homeopaths will say there is no cure for serious mental illness. Luckily I never had any as teachers.

I will post here to let you know of his progress and success. So often we don't share these great successes, but watching him always gets me through times of doubt with my own practice and patients.
