Q.
1. Does HOMEOPATHY act slowly?
ANS. 1 The notion "Homoeopathy acts
slowly?" or " HOMEOPATHY takes long time to show results." is baseless. In
acute illnesses if remedy is selected accurately, its effect is almost
magical. In chronic illnesses, time taken is relative to the duration of
illness.

Q. 2. Why a detailed
history is needed for homeopathic treatment?
ANS. 2. Long interviews/Detailed
history have their use, as HOMEOPATHY wants to go into your deep study, by
considering your immediate sufferings, your past illnesses, your
hereditary tendencies and family history, your emotional status as a whole
- during illness and otherwise, your liking and disliking in food, drink,
temperature, weather etc and many more things to select an appropriate
remedy to stimulate your immune system as a whole to make you disease-
free totally.

Q. 3. I am not having any
specific disease. Can I take homeopathic treatment for increasing my
immunity level?
ANS.3. Buddy, if you are healthy
why do you want medication. BUT, I understand the bottomline of your
question and it is the human nature to improve upon the existing
condition. If we can demarcate any such parameter by which it can be
substantiated that your immunity level has increased, YES, homoeopathy has
the potential to do so.

Q. 4. My disease is not yet
diagnosed. Can homeopathy help me?
ANS. 4. Homoeopathic treatment
is based on symptom similarity and is not fully dependent on diagnosis. It
can possibly cure you of the impending disease, which is yet to be fully
developed by building the immunity as a whole i.e. nipping the evil in the
bud.

yourself.
Back

Q. 6. How much time one
should give for treatment of chronic and long-standing problems?
ANS. 6. There is no THUMB RULE
to know the duration of treatment required. A minimum period of three to
six month is generally enough to feel the perceptible difference though
the complete restoration may depend on many diverse factors like
chronicity of complaints, multiplicity of complaints, severity of
complaints, recurrence of complaints, past history, family history, age
and individual's response to the treatment, continued physical, mental and
psychological stresses etc.
Back

Q. 7. I am scared to take
homeopathic treatment as I have heard it aggravates the existing
conditions initially. Is it really so ?
ANS. 7. First of all it is not
mandatory to have homeopathic aggravation in all the patients. It depends
on the sensitivity of the patients. Even if it happens, it is generally of
a very transitory nature and is a good omen to mark the beginning of the
improvement

Q. 8. What do you mean by
holistic medicine ? Is homeopathy a holistic system of medicine ?
ANS. 8. The term 'Holistic' was
coined by General Smuts, putting forward the theory of Holism - the
fundamental principle of the universe is the creation of wholes i.e.
complete and self contained systems from atom and the cell by evolution of
the most complex forms of life and mind. The system of treatment that
takes into consideration the mind-body entity as a whole, can be put under
the Holistic Medicine. As HOMEOPATHY goes into your deep study, by
considering your immediate sufferings, your past illnesses, your
hereditary tendencies and family history, your emotional status as a whole
- during illness and otherwise, your liking and disliking in food, drink,
temperature, weather etc. and many more things to select an appropriate
remedy to stimulate your immune system as a whole to make you disease-
free totally, in a HOLISTIC WAY.
Back

Q. 9. What does
CONSTITUTIONAL HOMEOPATHIC TREATMENT mean ?
ANS. 9. Homeopathy treats " MAN
IN DISEASE NOT DISEASES IN MAN". As HOMEOPATHY goes into your deep study,
by considering your immediate sufferings, your past illnesses, your
hereditary tendencies and family history, your emotional status as a whole
- during illness and otherwise, your reactions and behavior while under
stress your liking and disliking in food, drink, temperature, weather etc.
and many more things which comprise the constitution of the individual to
select an appropriate remedy to stimulate immune system as a whole.

Q. 10. When homeopathy is
based on symptoms matching, then, what is the need of Lab-investigations ?

needed initially for disease diagnosis to understand the gravity of the
illness to know prognosis of the illness to know the course of the illness
to evaluate the correctness of the treatment by retesting when clinical
relief is already there.

checked at any reputed laboratory to rule out the possibility.
Back

Q. 12. Why eliminations
and discharges are given so much of importance?

natural balance, eliminations and discharges are the means by which this
balance is maintained.

Q. 13. Are the homeopathic
medicines really effective in acute conditions?

Q. 19. Can you cure me of
my varied problems like high blood pressure, acidity and arthritis
simultaneously or should I go for one disease at a time?
ANS. 19. Homeopathy treats MAN
IN DISEASE, RATHER THAN DISEASE IN MAN. Homeopathy acts together with
body's natural reactions and stimulates the defense mechanism(immunity)
which helps in eradicating the diseases. As the immunity level goes up,
disease phenomenon as a whole goes down. Improvements can be experienced
in different percentages in one/all illnesses.

Q. 22. Dust exposures,
strong smells, pollution etc always make me sick (sneezing/breathing
problems ). Can Homoeopathy relieve me?
ANS. 22. Avoiding these things
and conditions is good but it is LIVING ON ADJUSTMENTS. Ideally with the
homoeopathic treatment, your immune status should reach a level where the
things and conditions affecting you adversely should not be able to affect
you anymore. Only then we can call it a cure. AND YES, that possibility
does exist in Homoeopathy though it is a gradual affair and needs
perseverance.

Q. 24. I am regularly
taking eltroxin for my thyroid problem and my doctor says to continue life
long. What can homoeopathy do?
ANS. 24. When you are on long
term/continued allopathic treatment, sudden withdrawal or stoppage can
cause severe rebound phenomenon in some cases. That is why this handing
over and taking over from one kind of treatment to another has to be
monitored very delicately. As the signs of improvement are showing,
gradual reduction of the regular medication is advisable.

something I can not do without during my migraine attacks. And they don't
suit me either. Do you have some substitute in homoeopathy?
ANS. 26. Initially you can
continue using them 'on as and when required basis". As you go along with

requirement of those medicines will gradually go down till you no longer
need them anymore.

Q. 27. I am a diabetic.
Shouldn't homoeopathic medicines will add on to my sugar load as they are
made up of sugar?

much difference because the sugar intake in daily diet is much higher than
a few sugar pills.

help in cancer?

continually forming cells that are potentially cancerous, but our immune

homoeopathy in cancer can't be denied.
Back

Q. 34. Can homoeopathy
help in AIDS?
ANS. 34. The very name AIDS
suggests that immunity of the individual is deficient. As everyone knows
that constitutional homoeopathic treatment increases the immunity level,
the role of homoeopathy is unquestionable and homoeopathic research
workers are already doing a lot of research work.

Q. 35. How and why
homoeopathy is better than surgery in kidney stones?
ANS. 35. Stone formation is just
a bye-product of abnormal biochemical functions and only removal of stones
is not enough. In bilateral, multiple and recurrent stones, surgical
intervention has little to offer in the long run. Surgery is only useful
when stone is very large and is causing kidney damage.
Back
to Top
Q. 36. Can homeopathy help
me in Gall bladder stones? Can surgery be avoided?
ANS. 36. As stone formation is
just a bye-product of abnormal biochemical functions of the liver,

digestion but stones do get dissolved gradually.
