Plus, I was going to add that your MIL being on antibiotics recently and

having an illness treated allopathically (and probably suppressed) did

nothing for her immune system and probably made her immune system dull

AND gave false symptoms (as you said, a reaction to the flu shot as well

as other things).

When I treated a kitten with cold symptoms only using homeopathy, he did

go thru stages. I think it's normal. I think the homeopathy makes each

stage go quicker and easier. I believe that in some cases the body

needs to go through something rather than have it aborted at the onset.

It's an individual thing and probably depends on the moment and that

immune system's condition at the time.

You did good, whether your in-laws want to believe it or not. I live

with my pill-popping Dad, so I know just how you feel. 10-20 pills each

day, with about 70% of them being prescription meds. Ugh!

PS I find cold generally don't have an instant cure with homeopathy

unless caught really, really early. More severe illnesses (like flu)

seem to react quicker to homeopathy and last a shorter priod of time.

yep.. I find this is true too. I try to catch colds the very first day

they start to make an appearance and generally, we’re able to avoid them

but sometimes I can’t get to them that quick and it takes longer for

the cold to go away. Despite my mom’s amazed ‘heartburn gone away that

fast” experience, she’s still very allopathic. Going to the doctor quite

often. Comes over, gets heartburn, asks if I have anything, I say yes. I

get my kit and she’s still “no I mean do you have anything that works

fast”…. Or good.. or whatever.. for a couple of times when we didn’t

remedy right. :::sigh:::

thanks ladies, you did clarify my concerns, and it helps a lot to learn that

they are walking

chemical bombs, relying on medicine for life. I understand what was happening

for my

MIL, her body was doing it's best to rid her of the injected poisons and what

ever outside

disease had also entered to plague her.

It's real disappointing to hear them say things like " Polio was so terrifying, I

lived with

friends that were in iron lungs, you must vaccinate your self and your child "

and my FIL

believes that vaccinations are good because they expose you to illness

constantly, so there

fore you are tougher living with them, when they strike you, you will have a

better chance

of survival than if you were not exposed at all. I understand what he is trying

to say, it's

just sad to hear an educated man (a well known physicist) say such dumb ass

stuff.

Hi Marica,

My in-laws were here for a week, my father in law arrived with a cold, he

was willing to try

Homeopathic remedies, ad was pretty quickly well again after a day. The next

day, the

Mother in-law caught the cold, she did not respond so well to the remedies,

I kept

Following her symptoms and as they changed, gave her a new remedy, the cold

progressed

From general malaise to A dry cough, to a cough with hoarse voice, chills,

and then the

Nose started running. We did not get a " cure " from the remedies from her.

She had just

Finished a dose of antibiotics for a previous influenza that did not cure

properly and

Resulted in infection.

My Husband caught a cold as well, he is purely treated with homeopathic

medicines, and

He never gets sick. He responded well to the first round of remedies for two

days, the cold

Did not get past a headache and some malaise. Two days later he developed a

headache,

And his nose started to run. I just gave him a remedy for it,

They left the house this morning to go home, and My father in law announced

that the

Remedies did nothing to help anyone get well from the colds. He thinks that

his cold just

Went away on it's own, seeing his wife not make a recovery has convinced him

that these

Medicines do nothing. They are the typical orthodox medicine users, they

have pills to

Keep them going, I'm alarmed at how many pills they take daily.

The Questions I have are;

Did I prescribe the wrong remedies for the acute situation?

***Quite possibly - unless the symptom picture is very clear, it is easy to

prescribe wrongly for something as vague as a cold. IMHO, that is.

Should I have got a recovery from every-one?

***Not necessarily. To me, a cold is not always a bad thing - but more often

a sign of a body trying to eliminate something all on its own. A bit of

Spring Cleaning " , if you like. I personally don't treat for colds unless the

patient is *stuck* or not handling it well and it is causing great distress.

I think colds, like most fevers, are best just left to run their course.

From the training material I have, and from the homeopathic texts I've read,

intervening when the body is doing its business, or changing remedies

constantly, amounts to suppression and that is not good. It can end up

complicating the original picture, or stirring up something miasmic that can

aggravate even further.

I understand that the remedy's don't cure you, they just help your body

Cure it self. Is it " normal " for the cold/influenza to go through the 4/5

stages even with

The correct homeopathic remedy's? I know the symptoms are the dead soldiers

from the

Fight.

***I have always found that colds go through *stages*. First the general

malaise, the sore throat, then the sneezing and streaming, then possibly the

dry cough followed by productive cough. I think I would only treat if the

latter was a big problem.

Just my 2c...

Colds are best to treat right at the very beginning. If you wait till

there are full blown symptoms, it will take a few days to get rid of

it. A good virus killing homeopathic mix for colds is Euphorbium

comp. by Heel. It can be sprayed either in the nose or on the tongue.

Works either way.

I know many of you are not into the mixtures but for acute situations

they are excellent and easy for beginners to use since there is no

guesswork. It takes years to get really good at homeopathy and if

you're not planning on being a practitioner the mixes are fine for

first aid and home use. I actually repaired my nasal tissue with the

Euphorbium comp and have never had a problem with sinuses since and

that was about 8 years ago. I used it once a day for five weeks.

In Europe it is pretty standard for doctors and practitioners to use

combination remedies and they are believed to work synergistically.
