If you have a medical issue, you should seek the counsel of a qualified medical practitioner, doctor or physician.
We do not advocate one treatment over another or recommend that you take health matters in your own hands by self-diagnosing any condition or treating yourself without the benefit of checking with a doctor first.
With that said, there are plenty of documented studies and plenty of scientific research pointing to the benefits of natural medicine and plant based or plant derived products that can help to alleviate or eliminate symptoms of certain conditions.
There are clinical studies that have been done throughout the world on such things as Vitamin C, Aloe Vera and dozens of other botanical products. The medicinal properties of raw Garlic have been known for centuries as well as the anti-bacterial properties of honey, which has been used in biblical times for a wound healing agent.
Western medicine has helped save lives and many traditional treatments are vital and necessary to a person's health. However, there may be limitations to conventional treatments for cancer like chemotherapy and radiation. While I do not say that there is a cure for certain types of cancers, there are those people who have used alternative treatments like hyperbaric oxygen chambers and ozone therapy to help rid themselves of cancer. Why some studies have shown that hyperbaric oxygen therapy has helped stroke victims and those suffering from multiple sclerosis and cerebral palsy.
Here are some sad facts of Alternative Medicine in the US:
The FDA promotes only pharmaceutical drugs and has a decades-long record of not approving, or even looking at, anything alternative. Again, this is the way of the world and you must face it.
In medical lawsuits, well-meaning but misinformed juries rule against doctors unless they've used conventional drugs, surgery and radiation.
Doctor's malpractice insurance won't cover them if they use "unapproved" alternatives.
Their state medical boards may fine them heavily, suspend their license to practice or even revoke it.
The FDA may do the same and confiscate patient records and medical equipment.
Doctors may lose their right to see their patients in hospitals.
Yet, to this day, thousands upon thousands of people stricken with all kinds of serious medical conditions have felt the inadequacy of traditional or conventional medicine and have sought out alternative treatments, whether they be approved by the AMA or FDA.
Whether it is Naturopathy, Homeopathy, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurvedic or Holistic Medicine, there are other therapies and natural approaches to diseases and many of them work better than the recommended protocols and without many of the harmful side effects.

homeopathy is incredibly safe. it does need to be done properly. it is not allopathy; ie, one size fits all. there is a proper way to assess a case and that is the only way to use it.
i find the case cited in this discussion of a woman losing her vision to be unbelievable. and no details are provided by the reporter. the woman must have had a serious problem that was already well advanced. for all we know, the allopaths may have given up on saving her vision. it is like the fda blaming ephedra for this marathon runners death a few yrs ago. they used his death as an excuse to ban ephedra from the american market. there was never any proof that ephedra caused this man’s death–he just happened to have used it. this is not an automatic causative agent.
any use of homeopathy in any kind of therapy needs to be monitored and adjusted appropriately by someone who has a deep understanding of the protocol
Herbal remedies work well if you know how to dispense them. A trained herbalist must monitor the progress of the illness and modify the dosage as necessary. Sometimes the correct herb will only be found by trial and error. It takes as long to cure a problem as it took to develop. So if you took 5 years to develop your acne, it will take 5 years for it to go away completely-especially if you let your body heal itself naturally.

Don’t just jump onto the alternative therapy cart. In homeopathy wrong medicine and dose can in fact create or aggravate the problem!
I know of a guy who started out on his own to cure his wife’s eye infection through homeopathy. The wife ended up losing her eyesight in both eyes!! His wife paid for his smartness.
In hom. med is not given merely for a certain illness, rather for a certain person with a certain temperament, nature and personality. Homeopathy does not provide a single, standard medicine for an ailment to every individual. Every case is unique. And, therefore the medicine is person specific. Not knowing who the person really is, and knowing the implications of an incorrect prescription as a result of absence of this crucial piece of information the ethics of the discipline will prevent me from recommending anything.
All I can say is that unbelievable things are possible through homeopathy and yoga.
Homeopathy therapy can be good for you if it is done right. Its not promoted by orthodox medicine because the pharmaceutical companies can’t patent a natural product; therefore they can not make any money of it. They have a lot of clout in D.C. with politicians and the FDA.
It is just as safe if not better. Regular doctors push pills because its easier and these pills have more side effects that homeopathy therapy. Using a regular dr. can be very risky as they misdiagnose many health problems, give wrong medication, and bad surgery. Probably moreso than a homeopathic doctor who works with natural products that aren’t as harmful. I would say they are safer than conventional medicine except when it comes to emergency situations.
The main difference is conventional (regular) doctors and drugs do not cure the problem most of the time; they just eleviate it temporarily. Whereas, homeopathic procedures get to the root / cause of the problem.
The vast majority of homeopathic remedies are completely harmless as long as they are not used to treat serious conditions
Most homeopathic remedies have no active ingredients and any apparent benefit can only be down to the placebo effect or the ailment running its natural course and getting better of its own accord.
One exception was zicam,a homeopathic cold remedy which contained zinc and was recalled because it caused people to lose their sense of smell altogether.
So the first danger is that homeopathic remedies are not regulated and licensed in the way that conventional medicines are and you really don’t know what you’re getting.
The main risk is that some people with serious conditions who put their faith in homeopathy and other altmed instead of seeking the proper treatment they need. I suggest you visit whatstheharm.net for more information.
