About homeopathic treatment online:
Q.: I am new to this mode of therapy. Can you please tell
me what homeopathy is?
A.: Well, homeopathy may be new to you. However, it has been
in practice for last 200 years, ever since Dr.Samuel
Hahnemann, MD, introduced it in Germany in the year 1794.
Homeopathy is a fast growing, and probably most advanced
alternative medicine in the world today.
Homeopathy (=homoeopathy) is a science of healing based on
the Natures law of cure, whereby a medicinal substance is
employed in a very minute (infinitesimal) as the remedy,
which has a capacity to produce a set of symptoms similar to
those of the disease. More information on homeopathy could
be had from our website devoted to homeopathy at:

Q.: I am excited to start the online treatment on the
Internet. I have never done it before so I am little
skeptical about the whole idea! Please reassure me!
A.: Well, you have already taken the first step of adopting
this technology that has made it possible to develop a
patient-doctor relationship at a long distance. Most of the
people like you have not done it before as it is a new
technology. Please note that this protocol is no more new to
us. During last few years, we have treated hundreds of
patients online from as many as 110+ countries! (This in
itself is an established world record so far, as reported in
the Limca Book of World Records.) We have worked hard to
develop this concept and have succeeded in doing so. We have
a team of medical and administrative staff to handle each of
the patients carefully. We have developed our own software
for administration as well as medical study. Please feel
assured, you are one of the thousands from corners of the
world who have been received the well-planned,
well-monitored and effective online treatment.
About other medicines:
Q.: I have been taking some other treatment for my
disease condition / vitiligo/ lichen planus/ urticaria like
PUVA, steroids, etc. Can I take the said medicine with
homeopathy?
A.: You were asked to specify in the questionnaire the names
of the medicines you have been taking. It would be better if
you raise this question in a separate e-mail, as the reply
would vary depending on the medicine you are taking. In
general, we do not encourage our patients to take cortisone
(steroids) in oral form along with the homeopathic medicine.
We also discourage to apply steroid/cortisone cream on the
skin as it causes suppression of the lesions. However, there
may be some exceptions.
Q.: I have been taking some medication for my existing
disease/s, (such as, for diabetes, hypertension, thyroid
disease, etc.), should I continue them or stop?
A.: You are suggested to continue your other medicines under
the supervision of your regular doctor. You are suggested to
keep a safe gap of about 20 minutes between the homeopathic
medicine and other medicine.
Q.: What should I do if I get some acute illness such as
cough & cold, fever, influenza, etc. during the course of
treatment? Can I take regular medicine for the same? If yes,
should I discontinue the homeopathic medicine?
A.: If you happen to get any other ailment during the
course, you are suggested to consult your local doctor and
you may take the suggested medication. You are suggested to
continue with the homeopathic medicine as well keeping a gap
of about 20 minutes. It will be a good idea to inform about
such ailments to update your case-record with us.
Q.: Can we involve our family doctor with the homeopathic
treatment?
A.: Yes, we suggest your family doctors participant for two
reasons: One, he may help monitor the progress. Two, he may
get familiar with homeopathy to be able to suggest
homeopathy to other patients. Please note that we have put
up a page of information specially addressed to family
doctors, at:

About the treatment and the
progress, etc:
Q.: I have started taking your medicine. When do I expect
improvement?
A.: The time taken to initiate improvement after the
homeopathic medicine depends on the following factors, in
general:
(1.) Duration of the illness (that it, for how long you have
the problem.)
(2.) Extent of the disease
(3.) Reversibility of the diseases
(4.) Reactivity of the patient that is how does the patient
response to the medicine
(5.) Patients general health
In general, one should expect improvement within two to four
months in most of the chronic conditions.
Q.: What are the probable side effects of homeopathic
medicines?
A.: Homeopathic medicines you have received are absolutely
harmless, totally non-toxic, free from any side effect
whatsoever. It is extremely safe for children, during
pregnancy, and for anyone, when prescribed as per the
guidelines.
Q.: Do you suggest some specific diet to help the
treatment?
A.: There is no specific diet, which is required for the
homeopathy to work. However, healthy diet is always
suggested. Healthy diet is one, which is balanced in terms
of essential ingredients, vitamins, minerals, etc. It is
suggested in general to avoid junk food as much as possible.
Q.: Is it true that my problem will increase after taking
the homeopathic medicine before I see improvement?
A.: No, it is not true that the problem has to increase to
get better.
About the medicines and the
Sources:
Q.: What is the source of homeopathic medicines? How are
they prepared?
A.: In brief, the homeopathic medicines are prepared using a
special technique called potentization, whereby a tiniest
part of the actual drug substance is used by activating its
healing powers. The major sources are plants, fruits,
flowers, roots, animal products, mineral, certain metals,
hormone, microorganisms, etc. You may have found a small
write up with the medicine parcel discussing this aspect.
You may also have a look at a page describing the sources of
medicines at:
www.classicalhomoeopathy.com/medisour.htm
Q.: You have sent me a name of the medicine administered
to me. However, I do not find elaborate information about
it. Please help.
A.: Since there are over 3000 possible medicines used in
homeopathy, and for your particular ailment, there are over
50 possible remedies, it is at this point difficult to
provide you with elaborate description on each and every
remedy. However, we are in the process of developing more
literature in this direction. |
