"In particular, homeopathic treatment depended heavily on a detailed patient history, and on precise patient-reporting of symptoms. Homeopathic practitioners could not rely exclusively on their own reading of the patient's body, because it was the patient's experienced illness (and personal circumstances) that determined the appropriate remedy. A homeopathic physician might spend several hours on the initial consultation, simply in taking the patient's history:
The patient details the history of his sufferings." - Roberta Bivins, Alternative Medicine?: A History (Get the book.)

| "One of the things that happens with homeopathic treatment is that the children get out of those classes, are back in normal classrooms, and they get their imaginative natures and their creativity back. It's very rewarding."
Of course, there are children with typical symptoms, Dr. Reichenberg-Ullman says. "We definitely do see children who are bouncing off the walls, completely unable to concentrate, legitimate examples of children with ADD. The characteristics are drifty, driven and daring. Drifty, as in, 'calling planet earth, do you read me?' Drifty means difficulty concentrating." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)
| "Today, an estimated 500 million people worldwide receive homeopathic treatment. Homeopathy is now practiced according to two differing concepts: classical and complex. In classical homeopathy, only one single-component remedy is prescribed at a time, in a potency specifically adjusted to the patient; the physician waits to see the results before prescribing anything further. In complex homeopathy, a prescription involves multiple substances given at the same time, usually in low potencies." - Herbert Ross, DC with Keri Brenner, L.Ac., Alternative Medicine Magazine's Definitive Guide to Sleep Disorders: 7 Smart Ways to Help You Get a Good Night's Rest (Get the book.)
| "Two doses of Arnica 30C or placebo were administered 24 hours before surgery followed by 3 daily doses for 5 days. With homeopathic treatment, 76% of the patients had to take additional antibiotics, compared to 71 % in the placebo group; and mean pain scores were 32.6 for Arnica and 31.0 for placebo (Hart et al, 1997).
Homeopathic remedies including Arnica D30 have been ineffective in pain management of 24 patients undergoing oral surgical procedures in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study." - Thomson Healthcare, Inc., PDR for Herbal Medicines, Fourth Edition (Get the book.)
| "HOMEOPATHY
Ideally, this condition requires a combination of professional homeopathic treatment and psychological support. However, the most appropriately selected of the following remedies can provide helpful temporary relief at an acute level while seeking medical help.
Aconite: This remedy can help to relieve feelings of terror or panic that are triggered by witnessing or being involved in a traumatic incident, or receiving very bad news." - Marshall Editions, 1000 Cures for 200 Ailments: Integrated Alternative and Conventional Treatments for the Most Common Illnesses (Get the book.)
"There is a positive role to be played by homeopathic treatment, especially if there seems to be a fundamental tendency for hair to be I determinedly greasy and lank, no matter how many positive lifestyle changes are put in place. If lackluster, greasy hair is combined with a similar skin condition, it is worth considering getting constitutional treatment from an experienced homeopathic practitioner who will aim to prescribe in order to balance your whole system. For milder, short-term 92 I problems try using one of the homeopathic remedies listed below."

"HOMEOPATHY
Diverticulosis is a condition that is best managed by professional homeopathic treatment, especially if it is administered within the context of an integrated medical approach. This would allow for the exploration of lifestyle factors that can help or hinder the condition, such as your dietary and nutritional status. Conventional medical input will also be a priority if the condition progresses to diverticulitis. This is a more acute phase of underlying diverticular problems, and can give rise to pain and nausea."

"In cases that require the surgical removal of the gallbladder, homeopathic treatment can provide pre- and postoperative support.
Chelidonium: Consider this remedy if pain is present underneath the right shoulder blade. An intense pain may extend from the back to the chest and stomach, leading to severe nausea and possibly vomiting. Alternatively, pains may seem to flit about in all directions, and feel more severe when bending forwards, backwards, or when coughing. Lying on the belly may give some relief."

| "Try one or more of the following homeopathic remedies to ease flu symptoms:
• Anas barbariae (Oscillococcinum), a homeopathic treatment, works very well if taken at the first signs of the flu.
• Aconitum napellus, Belladonna, and Eupatorium perfolia-tum help to ease flu symptoms.
• HP 2 from Metagenics is a homeopathic combination remedy containing Aconite, Bryonia, Eucalyptus globulus, Eupatorium perfoliatum, Ipecacuanha, Gelsemium, Phosphorus, and Pulsatilla, to relieve chills, fatigue, fever, headache, nasal congestion, sneezing, and overall aching and discomfort." - Phyllis A.

| "Our clinic obtained MSA equipment (then termed "Interro") and used it for allergy/sensitivity testing and as a guide to appropriate homeopathic treatment to desensitize allergies. The first few cases were children with ADHD, who were greatly relieved (as were their parents) that no needles were involved.
Nearly a year later, a physician who "couldn't believe" that either MSA testing or MSA-guided homeopathic desensitization "could possibly work" joined our clinic. He phoned one mother who "confirmed" that, indeed, MSA hadn't worked for her child." - Jonathan V. Wright, M.D. and Alan R.

| "Hence the goal in homeopathic treatment is to administer the matching remedy to the patient who is currently ill. The prediction is that somehow the remedy resonates with the personality and the disease, initiating a memory recognition and retrieval process of sorts that activates the healing mechanism, and ultimately brings the patient back to health. Along the way, as the memories are retrieved, the patient reexperiences earlier symptoms reflective of earlier diseases as the healing history unfolds.
From a simple materialistic, non-systemic perspective, this sounds weird." - Gary E. Schwartz and Linda G. S. Russek, The Living Energy Universe (Get the book.)
| "Although homeopaths prescribe for the whole person rather than the specific disease state, injuries and acute illnesses, such as colds, flus, fevers, sore throats, and bronchitis can improve very quickly with homeopathic treatment. Homeopaths know that antibiotics are not the only successful treatment for infections. Ear infections, conjunctivitis, bladder infections, vaginal infections, boils, and cellulitis frequently respond well to homeopathic treatment." - Robert W. Ullman, The Patient's Guide to Homeopathic Medicine (Get the book.)
| "Fifteen showed significant benefits from homeopathic treatment. While many questions remain about how homeopathy works, they concluded: "The evidence presented in this review would probably be sufficient for establishing homeopathy as a regular treatment for certain conditions."
Finally, in 1994, the first study involving a homeopathic treatment appeared in an American medical journal, Pediatrics. Jennifer Jacobs, M.D." - Michael Castleman, Nature's Cures: From Acupressure and Aromatherapy to Walking and Yoga--The Ultimate Guide to the Best, Scientifically Proven, Drug-Free Healing Methods (Get the book.)
| "The most encouraging evidence of the value of homeopathic treatment is shown by patients in whose families homeopathy has been a tradition for several generations. Elsie, age seventy-five and a fourth-generation homeopathic patient, amazes all her friends with her energy and vitality. In those rare instances when she contracts an acute disease, she throws it off very quickly.
Homeopathic treatment involves fewer diagnostic studies. According to the Department of Health and Human Services, each doctor generates $200,000 in patient medical costs a year." - Maesimund B.

| "The result is a concise and practical guide to homeopathic treatment.
Informed patients are more likely to follow through with homeopathic treatment and derive benefit from it. They can better understand and follow their practitioners' instructions. They pay closer attention to their symptoms and communicate them more clearly to their homeopaths. They are also more knowledgeable about avoiding anything that might interfere with their treatment." - Robert W. Ullman, The Patient's Guide to Homeopathic Medicine (Get the book.)
| "In some cases, even symptoms that are blamed on structural abnormalities resolve with homeopathic treatment. If constitutional care is not available, it is certainly acceptable to use homeopathic self-care when symptoms are acute. If you are under constitutional treatment already, however, you should not take homeopathic medicines without first consulting your homeopath.
Belladonna is commonly indicated for women suffering acute pain with their periods. The pains tend to begin suddenly and end just as suddenly. They may take the form of cramps or something like labor pains." - Stephen Cummings and Dana Ullman, Everybody's guide to homeopathic medicines (Get the book.)
| "Making the Most of Your Homeopathic Treatment
It's Never Too Late
The best time to start homeopathic treatment is now. It does not matter what your health problems are, how old you are, how many doctors you have seen, what treatments you have already tried, and what has and has not worked for you. Your homeopath will work to understand where you are now and what can be done to help you. Homeopathy cannot benefit you if you are still on the fence, wondering if you should try it. We can only encourage you to give it a try and make the most of what homeopathy can do for you." - Robert W. Ullman, The Patient's Guide to Homeopathic Medicine (Get the book.)
"Multivitamins and minerals are generally compatible with homeopathic treatment.
Permanent waves:These may interfere with remedies because of the harsh and aromatic chemicals used.

| "These conditions are closely related to colds, but we cover them individually because they may require specific home-care and homeopathic treatment measures.
Colds and Coughs
The symptoms of a cold—runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, and watery eyes, sometimes accompanied by mild sore throat or earache—are familiar to everyone. Some swelling of and tenderness in the lymph nodes is common during a cold. Most people feel tired or just plain bad, and moderate fever is fairly common. Some loss of appetite often occurs; bowel movements may be affected, becoming either less frequent or loose." - Stephen Cummings and Dana Ullman, Everybody's guide to homeopathic medicines (Get the book.)
| "If you do seek homeopathic treatment, it is essential to find a properly trained professional. Many people are "dabbHng" in homeopathy, yet it takes several years of dihgent study to be able to correctly diagnose and select remedies. In most instances, it is best if your Homeopath is a dedicated naturopathic or medical doctor who has learned the importance of the mental-emotional symptoms in diagnosis.
Also, make sure they are familiar with the importance of a healthy mouth, since homeopathic treatments can be "interfered" with if there are problems with the mouth and teeth." - Robert C. Atkins MD, Whole-Body Dentistry: Discover The Missing Piece To Better Health (Get the book.)
| "Constitutional homeopathic treatment is generally the best way to help the child with this condition, unless the tear duct is completely absent and must be opened surgically. If you cannot obtain constitutional care from a homeopathic professional, you can try giving the child Silica 6x once or twice a day for ten to fourteen days. Conventional practitioners use antibiotic drops or attempt to dilate the tear duct with an instrument.

"Constitutional homeopathic treatment can be helpful during the early stage of prostatic hypertrophy. Conventional treatments include various recently introduced medicines as well as surgical procedures.
PROSTATE CANCER
The treatment of cancer is beyond the scope of this book, but we do have a few words of advice: Since prostate cancer is one of the more common malignancies in men, regular contact with your doctor after the age of forty is wise, even if you have no symptoms."
