[quote=Anonymous]In the United States, one can only formally get an accreditation for homeopathy by becoming a naturopathic doctor at a place like Bastyr University. However, there are places outside the United States where homeopathic universities exist.  Buying homeopathic medicines at Whole Foods is the same as buying any over-the-counter medicine to treat acute symptoms.  And sometimes, what is "usually" recommended does not usually work.  My son had colic at 4 months and chamomila is what is often recommended, but he actually needed colocynth. I finally put him down and went to my books. I dissolved some in water and placed some on his tongue and literally, 4 hours of crying stopped in minutes and he never had colic again.

I was introduced to homeopathy in desperation as a teenager.  I was clearly very ill, my parents had taken me to multiple doctors for a year who could not figure out what was wrong with me (in hindsight, it was likely problems with my thyroid) but tests kept coming back in the normal range. A friend sent me to a MD who specialized in homeopathy. In three months, my life had turned around. I have multiple stories like this in my family, but then I have studied homeopathy for 30 years as an avocation and when I tell family members to take something for acute symptoms, it usually helps.

Let's be clear: physical ailments are more likely to be responsive to homeopathic treatment, but issues involving brain function will not be cured.  They may be able to be mitigated, but in order to undertake homeopathic treatment to affect any underlying issues or treat a deep, chronic condition, you need someone who understands the medicines, the disease process and the response to the medicine and a great deal of patience from the client. There are very few people in the U.S. who have the training and experience to do this correctly.

I wish there was more research into homeopathic treatment because I have seen it bring about amazing improvements in health. It is not all placebo. [/quote]
