Hi, I am just curious to find out what people do with their remedies when they are travelling. I know that a lot of the homeopathic texts advise to avoid the x-ray machines and get the staff to hand check them, however I know of other homeopaths who find that passing remedies through x-rays doesn't antidote them.

I'm going on holiday next week and am unsure about what to do - I have my Helios kit and my other remedies for personal use, however I have made up some of my own remedies in the mini-Helios vials because I was running out! The remedies I have made up myself are of a different colour to the original Helios remedies and I don't want the staff to think that I am drug smuggling! - disguising drugs as homeopathic remedies! (The fact that I have several other remedies in little bags in my remedy kit may increase their suspicion as well!).

Also when I was at the airport last year (together with my card from helios explaining in several different languages that "these are homeopathic remedies etc"), the staff agreed to hand check them but said that they would be exposed to more radiation on the plane than in the x-ray machine so I shouldn't bother about it.

So what do you do???

Do you carry them with you in hand luggage and ask staff to check them, or do you put them through the x-ray machine and not say anything, or do you pack them in with your main luggage?

Just interested to know!!

Hello Kara, The X-rays used at airports are very weak. Already many years ago a research team of the University of Frankfurt reached the conclusion that a short X-ray examination of luggage didn`t cause any damage to homeopathic remedies. According to Dr. Wilfried Stock`s own experience with Heel remedies which had been X-rayed several times the action of the remedies was still 100%.
Also measurements done by very experienced specialists in the field of the electro-acupuncture method didn`t show any distinct decrease or loss of information. So there is actually no need to worry at all ! Regards, Wim Pardaan.

I always ask for my box of travel Rx to be hand checked. Mostly they will oblige but occasionally they will not.

which change was observed in potency before scanning and after scanning through x-ray?

This is a very good question, but the tests showed there were no changes whatsoever in the action of the remedies ! But suppose a 200c would have changed into, say a 190c or less, this would be difficult to check (I think), because a certain potency needs to be high enough to reach the level at which the disorder/disease is present in a human or animal and I don`t believe this disorder is always present at exactly a 200c level, but approx. 200c, may be even somewhere between a 100c and 200c ??? So let`s hope that in case the potency IS actually changed by the X-rays, it`ll be still high enough to do its job properly which according to the results of that research was still the case ! Wim.

There is no way to check homeopathic remedies for function or potency (at least I have never found any explanation of how this could be done), but since their function is not based on any known physics, there is no reason to think that they'd be affected by x-rays.

How can your own remedies be of a different color?

I think they must have checked them empirically/experientially over a longer period. I also see, just like you Hans, no other possibility !

Hiya, thanks for your replies everyone!

I think that I will pack my remedies in my main luggage as it is seen that there is little/no reduction in effectiveness. My main reason for doing this is so that I'm not a pain to the airport staff who are probably quite stressed at the moment! I'll just keep my Cocculus 6C in my hand luggage in case I am travel sick!

Hans - my remedies are different colours because the Helios kit I ordered about 4 years ago had remedies made of clear sac lac. My sac lac is white and I have added this to the vials that I have used more of (e.g. Arnica, Hypericum, Gelsemium) and re-medicated them. Hence, because they are different colours I thought that it might be thought I was trying to disguise drugs as remedies!! I know I'm very silly!

thanks again
Kara

Hello Kara, I would do the same ! Enjoy your holiday and happy landing ! Wim.

Are the potentized remedies can be effected by atmospheric radiations, sunlight etc. as these will be in crude form in atmosphere? Can exposure of crude substances to potentized remedies effect them? X-Rays at airport is also a crude substance in homeopathic sense not potentized one,I think so?
