Re: Homeopathy Poll & Support Thread
Homeopathic books I've found helpful: "Homeopathy for Pregnancy, Birth, and the Baby's First Year"- this is awesome because it gives a great account of how homeopathy started, and it sort of explains it a bit for the skeptics. It helped me understand what was going on when I was using a homeopathic remedy.
Combination remedies that have worked in my family: Teething Tablets, Mycocan-Chord (http://www.totalnutritionaid.com/ene...-02-02180.html), oscillo... Conditions/illnesses that have been successfully treated via homeopathy (classical or combination): fever, bruising, sniffles, teething, thrush Share your personal experience w/ a classical homeopath: Never been How homeopathy has affected your perspective on health & healthcare: It really hasn't. It's just been one of another in my arsenal of things. I was really amazed though, at how the Mycocan-Chord took care of my thrush! Homeopathics is really hit or miss for us. I've been giving dd pulsatilla for her stuffy nose, and haven't really seen a difference yet, so much so that in fact, I'm thinking of not getting any more, because it never seems to help. But I took oscillo for a fever once, and it dropped SO fast! But then trying it a different time, it didn't do anything at all. I admit I'm not that knowledgeable about homeopathics, though. |

Re: Homeopathy Poll & Support Thread
Michelle - 12c doesn't necessarily mean its for kids. Its just a lower potency but sometimes its all adults need too. But kids can have all the potencies if a lower potency isn't enough. You'll know its the right remedy but too low a potency if it works but doesn't last long. If your having to take it every 15 mins or so you need something stronger. If you start off too strong it can aggravate the symptoms b/f they get better. We usually start at 30c and I have most remedies in 30c, 200c, and a few in 1M. I've had to use 1M with DS's allergic reaction to bites. As for traveling with it...you can't take it through x-rays...its a live substance and the x-ray machines will kill it. So more than likely the chamomilla yall used wasn't any good after taking it through security. I have a lead case that you put film in I use when I travel and I take it as carry on and tell the people that it can't be x-rayed. Sometimes they let it go through in the lead case but usually they pull it and search through it but don't run it through the machine.
Kits. I get most of my remedies from homeopathyworks.com. Its the washington homeopathics brand and its a lot cheaper than any of the other kids I've seen. This is the brand my homeopath used. You can get a 50 remedy all at 30c for 88 dollars of a 100 remedy kit with most 30c and some 200c for 150 which is an awesome deal b/c it will last you forever! Then the refills are only like 3 dollars a piece for the ones you use more often.

So the first thing I always turn to for dd1 is hepar sulphur calc have you looked at abchomeopathy.com they have a thorough remedy finder I do find it a bit tough tol determine a specific remedy for kids because they can't explain their symptoms so it's only based on your observation. I usually have "cold calm" on hand in case the other remedies I have for runny noses isn't working. Cold calm is a combination remedy but I can't remember the manufacturer. This is a great thread. I love those kits at homeopathyworks.com Jelly bean, how many doses come in the 1 dram bottles. My problem with my kits is that one cold can wipe out a remedy around here with 5 of us For kits, I have hyland's kits kit and a boiron kit that is no longer sold because it's so old I just keep refilling it although I am reconsidering getting a new/different one. I really like the kids kits at homeopathyworks.com . Here is a picture of the boiron kit with drawers. that was asked about earlier in the thread http://www.natural-living.com/boironkit.php you can also buy it at abchomeopathy or even buy an empty drawer like kit .

I really like the idea of doing this more, but I need more knowledge and resources to feel comfortable. |

That is a great idea THANK YOU so much. How large of a bottle dropper?? LIke about an ounce or two? ANd how many drops per dose? When we do the oscillococcum thing, I think I do one full dropper but I can't remember I'll search around for my directions on it Are the pellets about the size of the oscillococcum pellets (if you have used them). Those are the smallest homeopathic pellets we have

Well on dosage from everything I've read and what my homeopath always told us is it doesn't matter. If you take one pellet or the entire bottle it has the same effect. When my nephew ate a whole bottle of apis I called washington homeopath and they said the same...if he already had a dose of it that day its no different than just another dose. I usually just take however much I happen to squeeze into the dropper at the time.

Re: Homeopathy Poll & Support Thread
Chibimum, I actually think that for the tribulation, herbs are better- homeopathics have to be manufactured. Herbal remedies you can make yourself. Of course, I suppose if you stock up, and do what JellyBean said, wrt making them stronger...

Herbs - buy herb seeds/tons of bulk herbs, and ingredients to make tinctures (alcohol, glycerin) or live with strong infusions (water only). Save seeds from plants and plant every year or as needed. Seems like it would take up a lot of space and time and effort. Homeopathy, buy some nice kits and keep them well stocked, buy plenty of droppers, a thorough book and do JellyBean's waterbottle process which by the way, I have ONE more question. TO succuss it, is it just for the point of making sure it's well mixed so a hit or two on the palm of your hand - how vigorously to you have to shake? Sorry to ask to many questions. Homeopathy seems easier and would take up a lot less space if you are on the run But again, I am trying to move more more towards homeopathy. Maybe I am silly, but I am super excited about JellyBean's dropped bottle process. I am going to try to go shopping tomorrow at AMerican science and surplus and find some nice droppers, make up some nice tags and start our most commonly used remedies into bottle droppers. We use homeopathics at least daily (insomnia aid) or more This will save us SO much money I do think stocking up on herbals that you rely on day to day is a very wise idea
