Guest guest Posted June 17, 2001 Report Share Posted June 17, 2001 Hi, - I found this organization's address on the web. Contact them and they will be able to refer you to a homeopath in your area. From what I've learned, the most legitimate school of homeopathy is referred to as " classical', so be sure to tell them you want a referral to a classical homeopathist. The Irish Society of Homoeopaths Ruxton Court 35-37 Dominick Street Galway tel +353 91 565040 e-mail: ishom@... Regarding the length of treatment, our homeopathist said that one month for each year of life was " general rule of thumb " - however, he hastened to add that he didn't think it would take nearly that long to lick my son's urticaria. And indeed, it hasn't. Since his most recent homeopathic remedy two weeks ago, he's all but cured - having had only two, very minor attacks in extreme conditions. He began the homeopathic treatment only two months ago, so take heart... your own cure MAY be much less than 17 months as well. As for the success rate... unfortunately, there really haven't been any solid scientific studies about that. More unfortunately, because homeopathy is a metaphysical (meaning " beyond the physical " ) mode of treatment - i.e., it cannot be understood or explained by conventional science because it works in a realm they cannot touch, see or quantify - it's unlikely that there will be any rush by the scientific world to study it any time soon. Add to that that its practice threatens both the conventional medical establishment and the highly powerful pharmaceutical industry and you can pretty much expect peace in the Middle East before studies supporting and proving the efficacy of homeopathy. That doesn't matter, though! Homeopathy has been around for 200 years, has cured millions of people of countless ailments (and it is MOST effective with chronic and recurring conditions such as urticaria and allergies) and has plenty of current-day proponents of note. Some quotes I found while searching the web today....... " Homeopathy is wholly capable of satisfying the therapeutic demands of this age better than any other system or school of medicine. " Dr. Menninger M.D. Founder Menninger Clinic " Homeopathy .... cures a larger percentage of cases than any other method of treatment and is beyond doubt safer and more economical and most complete medical science. " Mahatama Gandhi " effective natural remedies that have no side effects " Dr. Mendelsohn, M.D. Professor U. of Illinois Medical School and best-selling author " Homeopathy is the safest and more reliable approach to ailments and has withstood the assaults of established medical practice for over 100 years. " Yehudi Menuhin World famous violinist " The introduction of homeopathy forced the old school doctor to stir around and learn something of a rational nature about his business. You may honestly feel grateful that homeopathy survived the attempts of allopaths (the orthodox physicians) to destroy it. " Mark Twain My continued heartfelt good wishes to you as you search for a CURE, Magi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
