Homeopathy is used to treat diseases in children ranging from semi-serious illnesses to the common cold. Although homeopathy works in a number of ways, its most basic function is to help strengthen and focus a child’s immune system when they are sick based on the symptoms and root cause of the ailment. Once their own immune systems become stronger, they are able to fight off diseases more effectively.
Homeopathic treatment usually falls into two categories; either acute or chronic conditions. Acute conditions refer to a sick child that is suffering from such illnesses as colds, sore throats, or the stomach flu. Chronic conditions refer to ailments such as allergies, asthma or any number of skin diseases.
Whether dealing with acute or chronic conditions in children, homeopathy has proven to be quite effective. In the case of acute conditions, parents often can treat the child at home with homeopathy. However, in the case of chronic conditions, meeting with a well-trained homeopathic professional may be necessary to treat the child.
When a person uses homeopathic treatments they should abstain from certain foods like tea, coffee and alcohol because of caffeine.

This is a very general advice and concept whereas the precautions should actually depend on nature of the case and the medicine (potency in particular) in both acute as well as chronic cases. I advise the precautions on case to case basis.

what is homeopathy?

Greetings!

Can you please correct your definition of homeopathy so that I don't feel inclined to take the time to do so? Start with the first sentence, for you greatly limited its functionality, whereas it doesn't have any limitations in diseases, and God established this fact at Creation so that we're not helpless in diseases.

Next, the phrase "root cause of the ailment" is inherently allopathic as a manifestation of the insane Doctrine of the Proximate Cause, so just delete it unless you know what you're talking about and can thus explain how our drugs singularly curatively affect the etheric energy pattern of patients through the etheric energy pattern of our potentized drugs.

Next, "they are able to fight off diseases" is not what happens. That's also inherently allopathic, for you're talking about battling and fighting diseases, whereas we reintegrate the vital force (accurately, the etheric energy pattern) of patients, and that reorders the physical body because all of the subatomic particles comprising our physical body have etheric counterparts that constitute a yet-higher nutating energy field on the Etheric Plane of existence -- all four planes of human existence coalescing each other and coexisting in the very same space. Our ultramolecular drugs ("beyond-molecules drugs") simply could not otherwise act, so this is also surely obvious. This immune-system argument you've embraced is insufficient and also inherently allopathic, for it shows no awareness of the fact that our drugs are ultramolecular medicines. That's kind of an important fact, is it not?

". . . either acute or chronic conditions" is fine if you understand that Hahnemann used the former word as a period way of saying infectious diseases. That's not what it means now, though, so it's misleading and therefore unacceptable.

"Acute conditions refer to a sick child . . ." What about adults and animals?

"Chronic conditions refer to ailments such as allergies, asthma or any number of skin diseases." No, that's not true, either. Things are chronic when they arise without identifiable causes and are thus direct products of the dysfunctions of the organism's underlying vital force (etheric energy pattern), but the classical criteria says that they have no tendency to recovery on their own and thus end in death or insanity unless cured, which can only happen through correct homeotherapeutics because 10 natural laws govern medicine, nine of which are specific to homeopathy -- the other one being a generic law irrespective of whether or not cures result. When you only classify the two main types of diseases as being infectious and chronic, you also have to stipulate that psychiatric maladies are chronic, for that's the third major classification of diseases in modern terminology. Furthermore, when you make such stipulations, it's always necessary to add that even infectious diseases are direct results of the organism doing it to itself -- despite pathogens being the triggers -- for the immune system not properly functioning is a direct manifestation of this supervening dysfunction of the vital force. If this were not true, humanity simply would not exist. Restated, the beasties come and go, but we remain, and the reactions to pathogens are the actual infectious diseases, anyway, not some obviously harmless beastie compared to the perfect human immune system or we'd be extinct, wouldn't we?

Don't be in despair about these mistakes, dear. They're perfectly understandable given the ubiquitous nature of allopathic half-truths and lies that have always formed the foundation of medical views except for homeopaths and our advocates -- mostly our patients. Allopaths mislead everyone about everything because they don't have a single thing about medicine even remotely correct, so all of these mistakes are understandable and yet obviously wrong once one understands that the people who create and sustain them are the total morons of allopathic medicine. That's obviously not you. It's a big trap that gobbles up most people and actually kills them, so you're doing fine.

"In the case of acute conditions, parents often can [can often] treat the child at home with homeopathy." If they know what they're doing, yes, but that's quite rare in the extreme or they'd be homeopaths, wouldn't they? Maieutic question cometh: If you could cure, what else would you do?

"However, in the case of chronic conditions, meeting with a well-trained homeopathic professional may be necessary to treat the child." Either correctly define "well-trained" or change it to "learned," "knowledgeable" or the like, for none of the schools correctly educate their students since none of the teachers know what they're talking about and should be silent until they do. If you disagree, name one. Wanna bet you can't do it? I'll be surprised if I'm wrong, but as far as I know, only low-potency pseudo homeopaths (Hahnemann called them "mongrels") and the high-potency pseudo homeopaths or, more accurately, the quasi homeopaths of the George Vithoulkas school of thought (GVs) teach in any of the schools. The only exception I know about is Hans Weitbrecht -- who still occassionally posts here but now mostly posts at www.HPathy.com and under his actual name at both places -- but he doesn't get much respect from the GVs because he's also constantly correcting them, and they don't like that. Hahnemann did, though, in his time and from the grave, so we're in good company since Hahnemann called them "beginners, bunglers and aggravators of diseases" on pp. 121-22 of THE CHRONIC DISEASES (link: http://www.homeoint.org/books/hahchrdi/index.htm). They also don't like that at all, but who cares if you really love homeopathy and refuse to allow it to be misrepresented, adulterated and corrupted by sincerely motivated but horribly misguided people?
"When a person uses homeopathic treatments[,] they should abstain from certain foods like tea, coffee and alcohol because of caffeine." Close, but you need to correctly say it. These all have drug effects because they're drugs -- not foods -- and crude chemical drugs will invariably antidote our dynamic reactions of curative effects on the vital force precisely because they're God-damned poisons that can never be transformed into actual remedies. Allopathic drugs are akin to using a sledge hammer to scratch an itch. We might react to that idiocy by suggesting they instead try using a cloud to cure since it's far more reasonable than a big stick, which can only create medicinal diseases on top of natural ones. They're really dumb people, for that's surely obvious. It's all militaristic in nature because allopathic medicine is inherently patriarchal in attitude and Apollonian in worldview. Indeed, even the Empiricist spectrum of allopathy -- today wrongly called the alternative therapies and other idiotic names and terms -- is wired that way because they're still using crude chemical poisons and have the very same fundamental mistakes that skew all of their conclusions (including practices) to total falsehoods. You can't ever fix allopathic medicine, period, so the stupid reforms being discussed are being generated by hyper-dangerous and ignorant fools who'd be far better off dead than breathe another second and mislead everyone in the entire world since they'll thus never again be able to even sustain incarnation and are thus a priori doomed due to such gigantic sins of adversely affecting the entire human race with their crazy attempts to reform allopathic medicine, which simply can’t be done. That, too, is surely obvious.

Otherwise, it's a valiant effort.

God bless!
