We invite you to send in your favorite Tips and Secrets on homeopathy. We will publish a select group each month, acknowledging the sender.

Remember, a tip is not the whole iceberg! Use these tips as part of a totality of symptoms. Let them inspire further research. Using specifics (“take this for that”) in isolation may prove disappointing and can lead to suppression.

Ledum May Save the Day

Ledum helps prevents infections after puncture wounds. Its use in preventng tetanus and Lyme disease have been established. It may also be useful for Hepatitis C and AIDS when they are introduced through a puncture wound. While there is no research on this yet, it seems prudent to try it. Medical personnel exposed to such risks, should take note, since there are few other options.

Treating Cancer

Efficacy of Homeopathy Over Allopathy

Everyone knows about allopathic medicines, especially in cancer, the bad effects of chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and some of the steroids (mainly gluco corticoids and cortico steroids). They have done no good, but meanwhile produce secondary effects like, spinal oesteophorosis, immuno suppression, and innumerable forms of disease.

Our role as homoeopathic practitioners:

We can improve quality of life, thereby strengthening the vital force (immunity) and curing, I repeat, “cure of cancer”!

What we have to do:
1.Good case taking (obesrvation, interpretation, proper history etc.).
2. Treat the cause and not the effect (don’t bother very much to treat cancer, treat the cause, so as to give vitality to the vital force- the body heals itself)
3.Monitoring is key factor (includes necesssary investigations).
4.Remember that ony the similimum can cure (don’t deviate from basic principles).
5. Moral support to the patient is very important.
6. Do not change the medicine for minor complaints (don’t be in hurry to prescribe when there is slight modification in the symptomatology (allow medicine to act ).
7. Point number 6 doesn’t mean that you should not change the medicines, it means GIVE IMPORTANCE TO THE GENERALS.

Think over these 7 points
Keep Studying, Keep asking why. All the best

Assortment of Tips

For hypersensitives I use skin mode of delivering remedies. Also in my opinion 6c is ideal for them. Decimals are very helpful except that it should be the absolute similimum, otherwise aggravations are inevitable. In rainy season I usually provide my regular clients with Rhus tox, just to avoid Viral Fevers, Chikengunya etc after getting drenched. If I am totally confused about the case, but urgently have to deliver some remedy, I give Arsenic in 30. I give Sulphur or Sepia accordingly if Nat Mur is strikingly similar but fails.
