Well, that was a very interesting debate, but did anyone think to ask Calibluecrush what her original presenting symptoms were, how they have changed since her remedy or how long ago she was administered Sepia? She already had a confusing and unsatisfactory experience with homeopathy - how must she feel to have her question hijacked by a philosophical joust on the merits of the said therapy? The least she should have come away with is the empowerment to question her homeopath about the chosen remedy.

Calibluebrush, if you are still there, how are you feeling now?

My naturalpathic doctor gave me 1M of Sepia to take twice. It has been about a month since I first took it, and I have not felt the same since. It seems to have aggravated all of the symptoms she was trying to treat.She already had a confusing and unsatisfactory experience with homeopathy - how must she feel to have her question hijacked by a philosophical joust on the merits of the said therapy?

I went to her to get help, and I really am confused now. Any comments or thoughts are deeply appreciated.

thank you for defending those who appear to not need defending, and for raising questions that appear to have been discussed. calibluecrush's original post, interleaved with yours, seems to provide much of what you feel is lacking in this discussion: she needn't be asked how her symptoms have changed, as she already indicated her original complaints were worse now, and she mentioned some of these complaints. she also mentioned that she was administered two doses of 1M about a month ago ... sooo, maybe if you bothered to read her post ....

likewise, by her next statement, also boldfaced and interleaved with your decisive editorial, she appears already empowered in and of herself, to question her homeopath and, disatisfied with the response, to seek additional support through "any comments or thoughts" the folks here felt they could offer, which included, as i recall, more than a few fairly detailed commentaries on what is and what is not an aggravation, how long they last, and so forth, which is a fairly practical and not philosophical issue.

but it would nevertheless be nice to hear how she is doing, and whether she felt we gave her at least some of the information she sought.

since original poster has not returned--it is proper to say "this topic is taking its own path"

yet if only consider original posters comment---- she did leave open "Any comments or thoughts are deeply appreciated."
