I was asked to do a talk about Homeopathy to a group of seniors. I am going to outline some of the burning questions they had about homeopathy and the answers I provided to them.

1.) If homeopath's prescribe remedies based on the "mental state" then if someone doesn't open up, how can you find the correct remedy?

Answer: If someone is closed, shut down, and refuses to open up, then we know we do NOT prescribe remedies like phosphorous, ignatia, or lachesis (open, talkative and emotional). We would automatically be drawn to remedies which are closed, shut down and private like the natrum, or the calcerea series. It's also a good idea to have a homeopath that is exceptional at reading people, for this very reason.

2.) Does homeopathy have contraindications with prescription drugs?

Answer: NO, homeopathy is energetic and not chemical, remedies are diluted to the point where there is no original trace of the crude (original) substance left, only the energetic properties of that substance is left.

3.) Do we have to be on remedies for the rest of our lives like prescription drugs?

Answer: NO, once healing has been reached, then the patient no longer takes the remedy.

4.) Do we have to be in therapy for years?

Answer: NO, the longest anyone has stayed in my clinic for serious illness is six months before they feel markedly better, and decide to move on.

5.) How much do you charge, and how often do we come in?

Answer: Homeopathy is the most affordable of all the modalities, in that the patient comes in once a month. It's about seventy dollars a month, which is less than most people's cable bill.

6.) How often do we take the remedy, everyday like prescription drugs?

Answer: It depends, most homeopath's only ask you to take 1 dose under the tongue, some will ask you to take it everyday diluted in water.

7.) What and who, is homeopathy best suited for?

Answer: Homeopathy treats the cause of illness.  The cause is ALWAYS mental and emotional, and all other modalities seek to eliminate the disease on a physical level, but never the deeper energetic level. Homeopathy is best suited for people that are open to seeking the mental and emotional cause of their sufferings.
