Hi

I am fairly new to using homeopathy. Can one overdose on remedies and when a remedy says take as needed what does that actually mean. When using on babies can it be harmful for instance if too much colic remedy is used and should it be used as a preventative or only as a sympton cure?

thanks.

As long as you take it 'as needed' and it's the correct remedy, you won't overdose. 'As needed' means when the symptoms return. Give it only when the symptoms are present, not before.

People should not be taking homeopathics themselves, for the experience of generations demonstrates that they invariably attempt to apply them in allopathic ways due to the brainwashing that has occured from the allopathic monopoly of therapeutics and the basic sciences.

There is absolutely no way someone unfamiliar with homeopathic theory and practice could possibly find the needed remedy.

There are no medicines "for" anything, only those for individual patients as indicated by their uncommon symptoms.

Yes, if it is not the correct medicine but that medicine has in its pathogenic ("disease- or symptom-producing") record the symptoms called colic, it is more than likely for it to produce even more severe complaints of colic than existed naturally before this iatrogenic interference by using our medicines in an allopathic way.

People should not treat themselves or others with these medicines because they will invariably fail, and that means they will just do harm.

While not being deadly drugs like allopathic pharmaceuticals and herbs, they are still medicines with the same capacity to produce symptoms that makes them drugs.

Hering introduced his famous "home kit" that won praises for homeopathy in the nursery and in home emergencies, but he later realized that such low-potency or quasi-homeopathy needs no reinforcement but legislative banning or intelligent avoidance.

I refuse to permit lawyers any involvement in medical issues, so I refute the former option; but I also have no faith in the collective intelligence of the race as presently incarnate, so there is no answer to this dilemma except to advise against doing homeopathy until one is expert.

This is not as serious as MRC mentioned. From his post I am getting impression that you can't go closer to homeopathic medicine.

thanks to those who have answered my question on dosage amounts. My friend who bought the medicine in Hong Kong from a Homeopathic shop for her child was unsure about the instructions and I was seeking some info for her (we are expats living in China). It seems there is a lot of strong feeling about using homeopathy and I should investigate it further. Thanks also to those who used plain language to help me - using a lot of jargon really doesn't encourage me or help me understand things any more than using simple language.

Regards,

After applying medicine, you must wait and see the response, in case of no response, you can give another dose. On getting response from the remedy. Don't continue the medicine.
