Question by Florence: What is best for acne, Homeopathy or Medicines?
Obviously there is no cure for clearer skin, but what is most effective out of Medicines (creams, pills etc..) or Homeopathy?
It seems that natural medicines might work better, but do stubborn spots need stronger chemicals from man-made medicines?

Best answer:

Answer by ?iluvL.A.86? Lets all go GREEN!
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.

Question by cocoscupboard: Can anybody help with some advice for homeopathic remedies to help with giving up metadone and other drugs?
Please help with any advice on alternative homeopathic remedies such as ginseng, valarian etc, anything that could help someone who is gradually detoxing from serious drug addictions. I have been reunited with a family member who lives abroad and discovered he has been addicted for 30 years to heroin, and is now on 150ml methadone per day, 20 tablets of diazepam (5mg) and nitrazepam (5mg) 20 tabs per day, plus other pills for sleeping and stomach problems. He now really wants to get clean but can’t do cold turkey as he could die thorugh this option aparently? He also has hepatitus b and c and has a poor liver now.
Please help, advice is much appreciated! He lives in Scandinavia and there are no centres locally.

Homeopathic Medicine are prescribed according to the symptoms of the patient not of the disease or disorder. If you need a Homeopathic solution please give the patients symptoms exactly the way the patient feels them from head to toes, Body and Mind.

Question by : What are homeopathic remedy pills made from?
I am on a very low carb diet and I am wondering what homeopathic remedy pills are made from. They are rather sweet, so I am a bit worried that they are made of sugar. Thanks.

Best answer:

Answer by Gary Y
They are 100% sugar. Zero active ingredients so you may as well stop taking them. Homeopathy is a preposterous scam.

Question by Goodguy 4: Can anyone explain me the different potencies of homeopathy in order from low to high and their usage ?
Can anyone explain me the diffferent homeopathy potencies and their order from low to high and their method of taking (in pills or water dilutions) . Coz the 6x,, 30c, 30X ,200. The terms are a bit confusing.
(I know a practitioner is best to tell this but he won’t so all the homeopaths out there can you clear this thing)

Best answer:

Answer by Gary Y
The “C scale” means the substance is diluted by a factor of 100 at each stage. 30C means 30 stages.

The “X scale” means the substance is diluted by a factor of 10 at each stage.

Therefore a 12X dilution is mathematically the same as a 6C dilution, but they will be of different ‘potencies’ due to the frequency of ‘succussion’ and ‘trituration’ which is carried out at each stage.

A 30C dillution is a dilution ratio of 10 to the power of 60; this is beyond the molar limit (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avogadro_constant ) so the remedy will almost certainly not contain one single molecule of the original ingredient. Analogy: a 30C remedy would require giving two billion doses per second to six billion people for 4 billion years to deliver a single molecule of the original material to any patient.

A 200C dilution is a dilution ratio of 10 to the power of 400. Consider that there are only about 10 to the power of 80 atoms in the entire observable universe, you should get the idea of just how ludicrous this is.

I hope this helps.

EDIT: I forgot to include that homeopaths claim the more dilute the remedy is, the more potent it is. 200C is way more potent than 20C (so they claim). I kid you not.

Question by BusyMum: How long do homeopathic remedies last/keep for?
I have some homeopathic remedies from over 2 years ago that I used when in labour. I’m due again and want to use them again. There is no ‘use by’ date on the bottle but lots of pills are left. Are these still usable or should I buy new ones? Thanks!

Best answer:

Answer by lokidrew
I think they will keep for years and years, I remeber reading years ago that some Hanemahns(?sp) original pills were still safe to use 150 years later..

As long as they aren’t obviously mouldy they’re probably fine.?

Question by Meow Meow: Can a homeopathic overdose kill you by you not taking your pills?
Homeopathic “remedies” supposedly get stronger the more dilute they are, could someone get an overdose from not having any homeopathy then?

Best answer:

Answer by Mark IX 3rd Account
Yeah, absolutely. Having a glass of water could well lead to an overdose.

Homeopathy – a big word for fraud.
