Who can be helped by Homeopathy?

Everyone!  Homeopathy is especially appreciated by people who have been disappointed with traditional medicine, either because of the great expense involved in the use of long-term prescriptions, the discomfort of side-effects, or the lack of substantial improvement in their condition.  Homeopathy can treat the root cause of the ailment so it has a truly curative power.  Also the method of case taking is very appealing to patients, because of the length of the interview and the caring disposition of the practitioner.



What age group can be helped with Homeopathy?

People of all ages, from infancy to elders, can be helped with homeopathy, because of its gentle and natural approach to healing.  Homeopathy uses minute amounts of natural substances to enhance body’s immune response to cure itself. Therefore, it is the safest modality for any age group.



Why choose Homeopathy over conventional medicine?

Homeopathy addresses the whole person and not just the superficial symptom. The first consultation with a Classical Homeopath will take you about 11⁄2 to 2 hours. The remedy then is chosen to fit the individual’s unique symptom picture and is totally specialized for him.
1. Homeopathy stimulates your own body’s immune system to cure itself.

2. Homeopathic medicines do not have side effects and are extremely safe.

3.  Homeopathic remedies enhance your immune system—in contrast to conventional medicines, which work against it.

4.  More and more people are getting interested in treating themselves naturally and holistically, and do not feel comfortable with chemical drugs that will cause side effects in the long run.

5. Homeopathy restores balance to the whole person (the entire organism) and therefore can treat the person mentally, emotionally and physically.  Patients will not only rid themselves of a chronic or acute physical ailment; they will feel healthier emotionally and mentally.  For instance, some patients find that as their gastrointestinal ailments improve, their chronic sleeplessness and anxiety also will disappear.

6. Homeopathy is cost effective. Homeopathic remedies are very inexpensive, and because of their curative action, you do not have to use them for a very long period of time.

7. Homeopathy not only eliminates the disease—it can bring a state of health, happiness and creativity to one’s life.



Is Homeopathy safe?

Homeopathic medicines are FDA-approved and available over the counter.  They are completely safe and non-addictive, with no side effects.



Could this be a placebo effect?

Homeopathy has been safely and effectively administered to infants, children and animals who do not have any pre-conceptions as to their efficacy.  In fact it is the safest modality for infantile diseases.  Also there is a vast use of Homeopathic remedies in veterinary care of horses, dogs and cats.  The animals’ health improves without their having any concept that they were even sick!



Do I have to totally believe in Homeopathy?

All I need from my patients is to be open and be co-operative.  I cannot do this work alone.  I need the patient to be open to tell me who they are!  I do not need their complete faith.  In fact most patients come to see a homeopath somewhat skeptically and as their last resort due to the recommendation of a health practitioner, a friend or family member who believes in the effectiveness of Homeopathy.  Even skeptical patients improve dramatically!



Do I have to go off my conventional drugs before I come to see you?

You do not have to go off any drugs until after we have started your treatment and you feel better enough that you would like to lower your medications.  Homeopathic remedies do not interfere with conventional medications and in fact they can be complementary and help facilitate healing in any condition.



What diseases can be treated with Homeopathy?

Almost any disease can be treated with Homeopathy— physical, mental, and emotional.  It also works to strengthen the immune system and works as a preventative.

Emotional conditions such as depression (also chronic depressions resulting from childhood experiences), anxiety disorders, attention deficit (ADD), obsessive- compulsive disorders (OCD), grief and phobias (childhood phobias and nightmares), children’s separation anxiety, destructiveness and many more behavioral disorders can be addressed with Homeopathy effectively.

How would you know how to treat me?

In order for me to treat you, I will have to find the “similimum” which means I need to match a remedy not only to your physical condition, but also to who you really are.  We are all unique in every manner (our make-up, personality, hereditary tendencies, and background). Therefore we each need a different remedy to fit us and bring us to our optimum health.  In order to find the remedy that matches you emotionally, mentally and physically, I will have to ask you a lot of questions and therefore the first appointment will be intense and lengthy. I will be interested to understand and know your perspective about the world, plus all the symptoms of your particular disease. After this in-depth interview, I will be able to recommend a remedy that matches you and your disease picture.



How many sessions do you recommend?

As I mentioned before we are all unique in who we are and how chronic our disease is.  The length of the treatment is completely relevant to your needs.  After administration of the correct remedy, your body or “Organism” determines the healing time.  So follow-ups are absolutely necessary and the length of the treatment is completely individual.



Do I have to change my diet in order to take a Homeopathic remedy?

Usually we do not have to make a drastic change unless it would be very necessary for treating your ailment.



Can Homeopathy help to unleash one’s true potential e.g. in matters of relationships, success and career?

Since Homeopathy is truly a holistic modality and treats the whole person, usually by removing all the stumbling blocks (the old and new traumas which have shaped and molded our psyche), it has the ability to bring a person to their highest level of potential. Homeopathic treatment can provide significant emotional benefits, like having a better relationship with one’s family, or building a loving and fulfilling relationship with a partner, or manifesting an ideal romantic relationship. Homeopathy can also be a powerful modality in aiding one to succeed in achieving their ultimate goals.
