Homeopathy and Autism

Post Reply New Topic

Just sayin, my experience .. And a search on "Homeopathy" in general on the NIH( National Institute on Health website. Closed the page ..sorry.
Just an offering .. ..

It seems like everyone in this thread has read the original post. What I posted was relevant to the OP although I was responding directly to you.

Sure, compromise is often good in a marriage when it’s something that involves both people. Individuals should be free to make their own choices when it involves medical care without pressure or prodding. We aren’t responsible for how other people feel.

The OP has decided to see a homeopath. Not everyone in this thread would make the same choice under the same circumstances. I certainly wouldn’t.

There is no harm in him going to this Homeopathic practioner to placate his wife.

I am just curious as to what his wife thinks that it will accomplish.

If the doc was not a homeopathic practioner but a mainstream doctor of some kind...the doc still wouldnt be able to cure the husband of his autism.

might be hard to see how this applies here : but with age values and understandings can change, but not all understandings are age dependant.

The OP asked for our experiences. Experiences about homeopathy, or about matrimonial issues? Judging by the thread title, I think it's about homeopathy, but only the OP can clarify my guess.

<<<<<How many medicines are made>>>>>>>
Does no one here actually know, what or how the principles of homeopathy are suppose to work ?
Maybe better stated as being how drugs, in general are made ? perhaps it might be easier to ask , if anyone understands , what a tincture is ? .....when you take a aspirin, And does anyone ,get that the activek ingrediant
is salycilic acud ...Which is made from White Willow tree bark.... And you can buy White willow tree bark in a less refined dried powder .put into a gelatin capsule ..White willow has been used long before aspirin was developed, some peoples stomach have issues with digesting, Aspirin as a concentrated condensed into a pill form ,a preformed concentrated pills do not equal a capsule . In any reality .
This is a version of homeopsthy . Then you , get the understanding hopefully of a small amount of powdered tree bark.
can have an effect on a headache ..this is only the tip if a iceberg of how homeopathy can work . Tribes in some less developed countries , use Curare ...To parslyze their intended Prey .on a little dart, threw a blow gun .
But these are only tiny things just having the tips of their little darts dipped in curare, This is a type of homeopathy.
And this stuff goes on and on and on ...Many drugs are based on the observed effects of small amounts of plants or other things creating observable effects in creatures . Then good microbiologists , break down the constituent components or chemicals , then can turn then into concentrates..At various levels of strength. To test on animals or people in clinical trials For proof of concept of the use of this compound or substance for effectiveness ,before it goes for FDA approval. For human oreven animal use, So the people who did the work on the substance to make money of it.
Great many drugs are merely refined from other substances that , might not have been quite so refined .
Many supplements that help humans are these less refined product. For instance one more instance is Bella Dona alkaloids, Bella donna is a deadly poison in nature , But refined down considerably. And made into a pill form or capsule
reduced down to tiny amounts ,of the alkaloids with a bunch less useful fillers, Can be used for Lung issues , for Asthmatics . ( Penicillin is made from extracts of a type of mold, originally found on very old bread as it breaks down.
Often homeopathy tinctures pills , whatever. Are just less refined plant products, That are either handed down by others or Researched plants extracts , perhaps ones that got accidentally discovered through research ,in one form or another.
Am only offering this based on reading learning and first hand useage of those products . Cannot speak for all hemeopathic preparations but only the one I have experienced with., Often offered to me by Licenced Naturopaths

Homeopathy is not the same as medication that has been scientifically studied and backed by research. As a matter of fact, homeopathy is often proven to be ineffective when it is studied.

^ I am glad the NHS stopped funding homeopathy. It was a waste of tax payers money.

Me too. Homeopathic "medicines" are so extremely dilute that it's a matter of chance whether they contain even one molecule of the "active ingredient." It goes against all informed sense that such an intervention could have any therapeutic activity at all, except for a placebo effect.

I think we've scared the OP off.
