How effective is homeopathy for curing child asthma?
Q. My daughter is 5 years old and sometimes she has minor attacks of coughing due to asthma. Can homeopathy cure her completely?
Asked by Sand... - Sun Jun 28 06:55:41 2009 - - 6 Answers - 1 Comments

A. No. Asthma is a lung disease that is misunderstood and irreversible. You never outgrow asthma. You may go through periods of your life asymtomatic, but it will resurface. The best method is to learn how to manage the disease through education. Visit your local lung organizations. Learn about environmental issues and how they affect you at home and in the air you breath in your area. Visit my website as a valuable resource in locating valid agencies and organizations that can get you and keep you on the right track. I also have a game page for kids to help them learn about asthma. Its at Your Asthma World.com (Yahoo) or get there from the "What's your source?" feed. Good Luck and Get Educated on Asthma!

A. I had to do a little research first to understand your question. Spinal caries is an old fashioned term for the destruction that can be caused to the vertebrae from infection with tuberculosis. It was common in the pre-antibiotic era, and most of the references to spinal caries I found were actually from the 19th and early 20th century. TB is still common in many 3rd world countries, and is making a comeback in some urban areas in the AIDS era. TB is caused by a spirochete (a type of bacteria) that is particularly tough to kill. Medical treatment of TB is long term treatment with antibiotics specific for the organism until it is completely eradicated. The main concern is preventing it from spreading to other people.

A. Please tell me you're joking! Rabies is a very serious disease when untreated. Without speedy medical treatment it is almost universally fatal. Homeopathy is known to be effective for *any* condition and it's a waste of your money. It's basically quack medicine and a widespread scam.

What is the difference between "Potency" and "Power" in Homeopathy?
Q. What is the difference between "Potency" and "Power" in Homeopathy? Is these terms refer similar or different meanings? We know, when Potency (X or C) increase, the ratio of original remedy decreased. But when it mentioned by Power (like 10 power, 100 power) instead of X or C, what is mean?
Asked by riyad - Tue Jun 30 01:13:18 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Homeopathic dilutions --- Homeopathic dilutions are indicated by letters like X or C. "X" means dilute 10 to 1. So a dilution of 6X means do a 1 in 10 dilution six times. Or, in other words, 1 part ingredient, 1,000,000 parts water (six zeros). "C" means dilute 100 times. So a 6C dilution means 1 part ingredient, 1,000,000,000,000 parts water. You can find many homeopathic remedies available with 30C dilutions - you do the math. And the totally ridiculous bit of advertising - the bigger the dilution, the "stronger" the medication. Here is a useful table of homeopathic "potentencies" and their dilution rates (0.1ml of original ingredient): 6C = 4 Olympic class swimming-pools. 13C = 3/4 of all Earth's oceans. 16C = Sphere of… [cont.]

Asked by Florence - Thu Apr 23 18:50:32 2009 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It depends. If you want something that is healthier for your body, use a homeopathy remedy. However, with a homeopathic remedy, the dosage is higher. For example, one remedy which comes in a bottle from A Vitamin Shoppe requires 4 doses a day. A medicine such as Differin only requires one or maybe 2 doses a day but you should use with an oil free moisturizing lotion.

Q. Hi, I am looking for a homeopathy and/or chinese medicine remedy for the following symptoms: 1. Late/scanty periods 2. Cold hands/feet Can someone recommend remedies for this? Will I need two separate medicines or is there one medicine to help both? Thanks!
Asked by ThePostLady - Fri Oct 24 10:46:05 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Well, the most popular natural products for hormone support (including regulating a period) would be Dong Quai, Black Cohosh, Vitex (also called Chasteberry), Wild Yam, Damiana Leaf, Motherwort, GLA (Gamma Linolenic Acid, commonly in Borage Oil and Evening Primrose Oil), and some Soy germ products. As far as circulation to the extremities, there are a few options that might help. The most popular ones are L-Arginine, L-Citruline, Cayenne Pepper, Ginkgo Biloba, and Hawthorn. You can try any of those combinations, but I would only add one of the circulation products at a time (having a couple weeks between adding each one)... having your circulation increased too much can be worse than having it not good enough. Good luck!

Asked by G - Mon Nov 17 12:59:56 2008 - - 12 Answers - 1 Comments

A. That's the great thing about Homeopathy... it helps your body heal itself so there are basically no side effects. If you take something that you aren't prescribed for or that you don't need, your body's immune system will still get the benefits, but there would be no ill effects. Simply put, it gives a very, very small dose of an irritant. That small amount stimulates your immune system to attack it, but with the small amount, your immune system completely overwhelms that little bit and all the extra impact from it goes to help the rest of your body. In that aspect, they work similar to the idea of vaccinations (but MUCH safer because there's less irritant and no harsh preservatives), so even if you take the "wrong ingredient", you'll get… [cont.]

Asked by jecado2005 - Mon Mar 20 13:10:45 2006 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The answer to this depends on who you ask. In general, homeopathic remedies are targeted at other things than the illness itself, more towards healing the body as a whole, including the spirit. This is a fancy way of saying that if your mind wants you to be healthy, you are much more likely to get healthy -- the human body has amazing powers of regeneration and recovery, but most people ruin these through self-abusive behaviors.

A. Homeopathy is based on two principals, both of which are equally ridiculous in the face of what we now know in science, hell, they were ridiculous 200 years ago, and you can find a massive amount of scientific literature from the time criticizing it. The first is the Law of Similars - Basically stating that the body will 'not permit' two illnesses with the same effects to exist at once, and therefore by inducing a very low level of a second illness with similar effects you can negate the first. This is blatantly not true. You are perfectly capable of having multiple kinds of cancers, different flu and cold viruses, even different bacterial infections - all of which produce similar responses - at the same time.

Their position is the other side of the coin. Homeopathy is based on the idea that trace amounts of a substance that would cause the group of symptoms that one is trying to cure in a healthy person, will cure a person experiencing those symptoms.
