I have been going to the homeopath for about 8 months and have had some success to make me a believer in homeopathy. I originally went there for my periods that were very bad and would keep me home from work one day a month. The homeopath put me on sepia 30c and after the first month I felt a significant change for the better. After the second month I didn't feel as good as the first month but still better than before I started. After that I still had symptoms like cramps and bloating, diarrhea and some constipation so he gave me biochemical phosphates which seemed to help a lot. After that I let him know about other problems I was having like my food allergies,acne, palops in my nose, brown spots on my face from being on the pill, and just overall congestion. He then put me on Nat Mur which I noticed a few days later to totally wipe out my food allergies. Since he put me on Nat Mur I have been on it for about 4 months and little by little my overall health feels better but I've noticed that I still get food allergies and congestion but not maybe as much. I still have PMS but my periods are not as bad. But I still have brown spots on my face, Acne and palops in my nose. When I went back this week he suggested that I take the same Nat Mur but instead of three 30c in the morning to take two in the morning and two at night. I wonder if I will notice any more significant changes? Also can one remedy over a long period of time make changes even if they are very slow to come about? I'm just wondering cause over the eight months I would say I feel better and my recovery from getting a cold is so much faster and it is as if my immune system is much stronger but I'm no where near perfect. Is homeopathy a long process, is probably what I am asking and can one be on a remedy for a long time before they see significant results?

This is not homeopathy, your becomed a milkcow for that person.
A normal time is From houers to a month.( in some difficult 2 months) but you dont seem to belong to the difficult cases.

Use one dose natr m one M once,and stay away from that person.
But, if not correct for you, Natr is not to be used, this is supression theraphy if its wrong, the key is reocurring of old problems.
And its difficult to say, when i dont have your case to go through, if NM is correct, cause one dose is enough to cure, fast.

Gosh, I've never, ever seen a long term daily dosing with remedies. That's not healing.
See what GM said above.

you should post your case.

Zmyst

I agree am my intuition says that these last three month haven't shown any significant changes. Since I do not know that much about homeopathy I have to rely on what he says. I have seen some results but these last three months have been discuraging. I'm thinking about seeing someone new but I'm wondering if I should wait until after the next visit.

Danielle,

If I were you I would not go back to him. What he is practising doesn't seem to be homeopathy even though he is using homeopathic remedies he is not following the LAWS of homeopathy.

Giving daily doses of a remedy is a no no. ALSO, you mention that you went to him for treatment for problems with your menstrual cycle and after a few months you let him know of your other issues, ie olyps, etc. This info should have been gathered at your first meeting.

Homeopathy treats the entire person. Remedies are selected by gathering EVERY symptom. Your problems with your period are no more important than your polyps and other symptoms. Each symptom points to the correct remedy AND THAT IS PROBABLY WHY YOU HAVE NOT GOTTEN CURATIVE RESULTS AS OF YET.

oops, the smiley face is unintentional - typo.

I also want to say that if your intuition tells you something is not as it should be you should listen to it.

Why not post your case here? You'll be recieving the best of care.

Good luck

Hi Danielle,
Post your history here.
GM has helped a lot of people - I'm sure if you look through the posts, you'll see what I mean.

Anyhow - post here and let him advise.

I've had wonderful success with him, as have many others.

All the best,
Lisa
PS Barb, repeating low potencies is not always a no no...in this case it IS a no no - but in some acute conditions and more complicated chronic cases - low potencies being repeated can be indicated.
confused? well, me toooooo - sort of- just gettin my teeth round all this too

Lisa,

Yes, I meant for this case it seemed like a no no. I myself have on occassion given my little ones repeated low dose potencies.

What struck me most about this case was that the homeopath did not gather the total symptom picture in the beginning but rather treated the one complaint.

Danielle,
If you decide to post your case here check out some other postings to get an idea of what info is needed. I hope you do decide to take advantage of the experts here, you won't be sorry.

Ok here is my case:

I am 33 years old light brown hair, brown eyes and fair skin. I am half Italian and half Irish. Originally I decided to go to the homeopath because I was suffering from menstrual problems. I had problems since I was young and they did get better from taking vitamins but not enough. I suffered from very bad cramps that would come on slow but an hour after my period began they were strong enough that I would start taking motrin, pamprin etc. almost every two hours for the first three days. I also had sever bloating, diaherra, and hot and cold flashes to the point sometimes I would sweat through my cloths for the first three days. The blood flow was very heavy and I would have blood clots that would cause me to cramp. I would get small headaches that would come and go and I would be extremely tired and need to sleep until my period was over. It lasted a full seven days and came every twenty eight days. I would say I was very regular. I also had PMS before my period and on a few occasions the time before my period was so bad that I couldn't move. Also the week before and the week of my period I would get very bad acne and my skin was always shiny on my nose, cheeks and forehead by around 10:30 in the morning. Mostly I would get acne under my chin, around the sides of my jawbone, and on the sides of my cheeks. Sometimes one on my upper back but a few also on my chest area. I don't think my skin has ever been clear at all but it's a little better at the other times of the month. From being on the pill when I was younger I developed brown spots on my cheeks and forehead that never go away and get darker in the sun. I also suffer from food allergies. I notice when I eat pasta and Mexican food and certain hot foods I can become extremely congested as if I have a bad cold. When I was young my nose would run all the time like a leaky faucet but I don't remember being allergic to food back then. When I was young I ate all kinds of food including all meets and now I just eat chicken and fish and mostly vegetables. My sinuses bother me. I get stuffy at night before I go to bed and in the morning I wake up and feel congested. After I get out of the shower I feel a little better but I blow my nose a lot to get all the mucus out. I have a nasal sounding voice and when I was young they sent me to a speech therapist because they could not understand me. I was one big mumble. I now sound much better but as a child I had symptoms like not being able to blow a balloon, always making a low grunting sound, and breathing through my mouth not my nose. My mouth seemed to be open a lot. I am a lot better now but still sound nasal. The speech therapist told me that my "elevator" in my throat as she called it wasn't moving up and down correctly so that was part of the problem. I'm not sure what part moves up and down when you talk or breath but mine was faulty somehow. Anyway I'm still nasal but I now breath through my nose and can blow a balloon. It's just harder to breath now because I have a palop in both noses but the right side is much bigger. That seems to be my history in regard to my health. As for me as a child I was skinny and a little underdeveloped emotionally and physically. I didn't have that many friends and I liked to play by my self for hours. I was moody a lot and not always a happy kid. I cried a lot and when my Nanny would take a day off I would always have bad dreams. I guess she was more of a parent then my parents were so I was very attached to her. My father wasn't around that much when I was growing up and my mother was always on the road performing so I spent a lot of time alone. My sister was much more outgoing and had lots of friends I was shy and more quiet. I was very creative and like to play music. I was very artistic and could play piano by ear. I guess that's all for now unless you have more questions. As for the homeopath I am going to now I stated in my first posting that he did help me somewhat but I feel like I am at a standstill and in the last three months have not gotten that much better. The only thing I can say which I did notice was that my cramps during my periods are a little better from month to month. I don't have that much bloating anymore but I still get a weird cold/hot temp in my body before my period and during. Maybe not a hot flash but my body temp seems to be off at that time. My bowel movements seems to be much better but I still feel like foods do not agree with me and I occasionally get an upset stomach but not a constant diaherra/constipation like I used to. I still have food allergies but not as bad and I still have brown spots on my face and I still have acne. I also still have the palops in both of my noses. Two other small things I noticed are that I have more moles on my body each year and that my gums slowly are receding and I had surgery on them (I don't floss all the time but I do floss and brush my teeth and go to the dentist regularly. Any other questions please let me know and I will respond.

Wrong remedies, they have to be antidoted, this is supression, he is not a homeopat, this is a quacker!
First use nux vomica 12 twice a day a couple of day, then wait one day, take one dose phosporus one M, works two months, in that time avoid coffe, even the smell of coffe, all brands of coca cola, chocolate,and strong smell, and electical fields, ( as from a strong magnet).
post update after three days on phos.
