Guest guest Posted February 2, 1999 Report Share Posted February 2, 1999 To All the Curious: The Diplomate in Homeopathy is somewhat of an odd " degree " and can be obtained by real post-graduate work and clinical practicum OR EVEN BY MAILORDER! Be very careful when the doctor makes claims. Do your research. Did they pass the American Board? Where did they get their training? Homeopathy is a distinct healing art and is not an alternative to, or subordinate to any other healing art. Unfortunately, there is no licensing of homeopaths in this country. Technically, anyone can practice homeopathy in the U.S. and you don't even need a license because it is not the practice of chiropractic, osteopathy, medicine, or naturopathy. Although it is not the practice of any of these professions, all of them have been known to use homeopathy. Diplomate programs in the U.S. exist, and are put on by at least one of the chiropractic colleges (National - 1 year after D.C. degree) and included in the formal training of the Naturopaths from Bastyr College and the Chiropractors at National College. In fact, National will soon be getting university status with schools of chiropractic, naturopathy, homeopathy, and accupunture. At this point, however, there is no formal, 4-year school for homeopaths in this country and the schools outside the U.S. are mailorder schools. Just because someone is an MD doesn't necessarily make them a good homeopath. The truth is that the philosophy of practice of the two professions are exactly opposite. This would lead me to wonder how one could justify a treatment when one training program tells you to do something different than the other, i.e. symptom suppression vs. symptom magnification. NDs (naturopaths) are a little better, but use many of the same principles of western medicine in approach. DCs and DOs have a more closely aligned practice philosophy to homeopathy than all the other groups. Another group that has a similar practice philosophy are OMDs/accupunturists, although it is less likely for them to use homeopathy. I personally would feel embarassed to charge $1500 for a consult! I guess, however, there are people that would pay it without question. I know my patients would have a heart attack on the spot if that was the consult fee. " Consult " doesn't even mean making suggestions or doing anything! The first degree (D.C., N.D., D.O., M.D.) doesn't mean diddly-do-da when discussing homeopathy because it has nothing at all to do with practicing homeopathy. ONLY THE TRAINING IN HOMEOPATHY (AND PASSING THE BOARDS) MATTTERS! The price you pay is up to you. Dr. Jim Pucka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 2, 1999 Report Share Posted February 2, 1999 Thanks Jim, I thought her price was a little high! So let me ask you this. Do all Chiropractors practice homeopathy? Or do any? Do you know of any Chiropractors you could recommend in the southern Calif area as I have been in search of them as well. So what credentials should I be looking for in a good homeopath?

Guest guest Posted February 2, 1999 Report Share Posted February 2, 1999 Ann: The only way to know is to ask. A Dip.Hom. is a start, but ask about the training. Ask about boards and qualifications. I'd even ask for references. Remember, you are the one paying the bill! After all, you wouldn't go to the grocery store and pay 3 times the market price of the goods for only half the amount, would you? Unfortunately, I don't know of any qualified homeopaths in S. CA. I would suggest contacting Dr. Plezbert at the National College of Chiropractic in Lombard, IL for a listing of diplomates and direction to the National Board of Homeopathic Examiners (no relation to the school). National College has a website, although the address escapes me. Dr. Jim Pucka Chiropractor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I usually believe 'you get what you pay for' - with that kind of price, I can't help but wonder what the motive is, ya know? We found a wonderful homeopath that charges about $150 first visit and about $90 thereafter - which is still to much for us to pay on a regular basis ...but he's there if it is beyond my capability to treat at home. Good luck finding a (reasonable) homeopath!

Guest guest Posted February 3, 1999 Report Share Posted February 3, 1999 Hi Ann. Whew!!! That is outrageously high! He/she certainly has a high opinion of themselves. I'm in Canada and I have seen the consultation fee run from $80 to a high of $300. Follow-up appts. are always cheaper. The $300 guy charged $150 for his first follow-up and $75 each visit thereafter. I found his prices to be way too high and negotiated with him. He had told me that he " isn't in it for the money " (sounds so familiar), that he likes to help people. He said most of his customers have no problem paying his regular fees. He agreed to charge me half-price, so $150 for the consultation. I have a friend who lives in NY state who says that $300 was way out of whack with NY fees as well. I wouldn't trust anyone charging $1000. I don't think much of the $300 hom. either. Good luck in your search. I found it very difficult to find a hom. I could trust and feel good about.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2000 Report Share Posted August 24, 2000 Trudy asked : Could you please tell me (or anyone else out there) what you have tried that has been effective, and what you have tried that did not work? Annette's reply : Trudy, I found a fabulous remedy for my frequent sore throats/glands etc. It is called BARYTA CARB. After that initial success I was happy to try other homeopathic remedies for my other major symptoms but nothing else worked. Homeopathy is so very individual so a good homeopath is very important. __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What really is upsetting is that when I go to some so-called naturopath/homeopath, they always want me to take an expensive cleanse before they do anything. I've done this and I DON'T NEED A CLEANSE. I almost needed a new rectum after the Rambo cleanse I signed up for. Is there any way to find a real homeopath, a healer? Not someone who makes their money cleaning my system out. I know I'm asking the impossible from you but I just wanted to point out my frustration here. Are there any " right " questions to ask to ensure I'm being treated by the real thing?

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 > I almost needed a new rectum after the Rambo cleanse I > signed up for. Okay, I was feeling a little down today, but this made me laugh out loud. You certainly do have a way with words! I hear you on the cleanse. Anyone who's had a lower endoscopy has had to drink that clear-out crap the night before and experience atomic diarrhea. Exhausting! My homeopath in Los Angeles is an M.D. who became dissatisfied with Western medicine and trained for years to be a classical homeopath. People travel for miles to see him. In fact, I'm traveling (for miles) to see him on Wednesday and I will ask him if there's a website that lists only classically-trained homeopaths. If you have a choice, always go for one that's classically-trained. (He's never once required me to cleanse!!!) His specialty is constitutional remedies, but he's also very good with acute condition remedies. He got rid of my chronic bronchitis. I don't know how the hell he did it, but he figured out the remedy. I also know of an outstanding classical homeopath in the Bay Area, if anyone's interested. I know so many people who go to their local vitamin store, get sold something that's " homeopathic, " get no results, and then declare that homeopathy is bogus. A good classical homeopath sometimes won't tell you the name of the remedy because the description you find on the Internet will have nothing to do with your condition, and you'll just get confused. What gets sold in vitamin stores is low dosage. A constitutional remedy addresses your physical problems AND works with you on a mental & emotional level as well. It's so deep and so involved I can't explain it, much less understand it. Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone said: well we have Naturopaths, homeopaths etc.. He just smiled and said he would never label/limit himself like that. I don't think that comparing a homeopath who doesn't just use homeopathy to treat is the same as a part time brain surgeon. Homeopathy can be replaced while surgery can't. I do use homeopathy, but I wish I could post the link to the study where conventional medicine *tested* it and non of the homeopaths were successful. I am sure Irene you have heard of the study.

Well I'd not want him to find me a homeopathic remedy then :-) It's not possible to be an excellent homeopath if you spread yourself thin elsewhere. In fact THAT would be limiting. It would limit one's ability as a homeopath. As a homeopath the fact that I do no other profession currently, means that I can keep up with what I need to know in an ever expanding world of knowledge, and that I also can apply that knowledge effectively. > I don't think that comparing a homeopath who doesn't just use homeopathy > to treat is the same as a part time brain surgeon. Your term about someone who will " just use homeopathy " is limiting and doesn't apply to anyone. A homeopath has a homeopathic remedy as the central healing component - it determines the direction of healing fro the case - but it is not the only component of the homeopath's skills. Homeopathy is not some narrow science which throws a remedy at an illness and goes home :-)) > Homeopathy can be replaced while surgery can't. That's like saying electricians can be replaced but plumbers can't (or vice versa). Neither can be replaced. Both homeopathy and surgery are necessary professions under the health care umbrella. For example if you want gangrene to go away - it's essential to use homeopathy. Surgery does not take gangrene away - it takes limbs away; not too helpful if you want your limbs. If you want to remove autism, that also needs homeopathy. Also for FIP in cats for example, and if you want to avert infectious disease without predisposing chronic disease, you need homeopathy. There's a lot only homeopathy can fix. Surgery is also necessary. > I do use homeopathy, but I wish I could post the link to the study where > conventional medicine *tested* it and non of the homeopaths were > successful. You don't need to post it. Conventional medicine can't " Test " homeopathy any more than plumbers can test electrical wiring with plumbing tools and vice versa. It's like asking to measure water with a ruler. It doesn't make the water non-existent or impossible to measure - just does not measure with the tools of another system with different goals and different components. By the same token conventional medicine (allopathy) can't show results by homeopathy standards either. The goal of homeopathy is to build health and resistance to disease without doing any harm. Allopathy does not even attempt to do that and would fail miserably if tested against that standard. I have my own standard: Show me the allopath who has any cures for FIP in cats. or the allopath who has any cures for extensive gangrene. Or let's make it easy: How about plantar's fasciitis with bone spurs cure? or chronic herpes in cats? But there are no comparative studies on that. Why? Because allopathy can't even get to the starting line with one case :-))) It's not that there aren't any cases. It's just that allopathy has *no* cure for thse things and can't offer a challenge :-)) The allopaths will call it fixed if the symptoms are not visible. Homeopathy has a higher standard. It is not fixed unless health is restored as well as resistance to recurrence being there. That takes longer to achieve. There are lots of studies - many positive but most of them bogus. It's trying to compare apples and oranges. You can't get apple juice from an orange no matter how hard you squeeze. The studies are also never patient enough (costs a lot) to wait for homeopathy to work, and the way homeopathy works does not lend itself to the double-blind quick suppression of symptoms which is the hallmark of allopathy. What you need to see is the difference in objective: Building long-term true health and resistance versus Hiding symptoms, preferably for 5 years.
