Myth: Homeopathy
is slow to act.
Fact: Not
really. Homeopathy is fast acting in acute conditions such as infections,
fever, diarrhea, etc. Chronic and old diseases such as psoriasis take a long
time to treat hence homeopathy has been labeled as slow acting. One may say
that homeopathy may be slower than the effect of pain-killers,
anti-inflammatory medicines, and steroids. One must know that homeopathy is
faster in the treatment of conditions such as allergy, asthma, eczema,
migraine, arthritis.
Homeopathy is like a tortoise in
the well-known story of tortoise and rabbit.
Myth: Homeopathy
is useful only for chronic conditions and has no role for acute ailments
Fact: Homeopathy
is a great alternative medicine for acute diseases. In fact, at on time, we at
Life Force used to treat a large number of acute ailments varying from
cough-cold-fever to otitis media, pneumonia, tonsillitis, hepatitis, sinusitis,
etc.
Homeopathy is real alternative
medicine for most acute conditions.
Myth: When it
comes to handling infections, nothing can beat antibiotics.
Fact: This
misbelief is an example of mass ignorance in the hi-tech era that we are living
in. Over an again, thousands of practitioners the world over, have repeatedly
and regularly observed that infections of all kinds including bacterial
infections respond beautifully to homeopathy and no antibiotics are required
for most of such conditions. It is in rare cases when the infection is very
massive and the body has lost the vitality to recover, probably antibiotics are
required in addition to homeopathy.
One, day homeopathy will be
recognized as the latest generation antibiotic measure.
Myth: Homeopathy
is more placebo effect and faith healing...
Fact: Scientific
double-blind studies have indicated that homeopathy far above the placebo
effect. The effect of homeopathy medicine has
been observed millions of times, which cannot be labeled as the placebo effect.
Newborn babies, infants, animals such as lions, dogs, etc. have shown the
healing effects of homeopathy, which goes against the placebo effect. Saying
that homeopathy is a placebo, in the light of the above facts, is not just a
misbelief but a prejudice.
Frankly, this is an insult.
However, over the period, we have realized that those who continue assuming
that homeopathy is a mere placebo, are superstitious.
Myth: Homeopathy
can only help functional problems such as pain, weakness, where there are no
structural changes in the body.
Fact: Homeopathy
has proved its efficacy for the treatment of structural pathology. Numerous
documented cases where the reversal of the structural pathology has taken place
indicating the depth of homeopathy action.
The skeptics should keep the
eyes open to evaluating the documented cases.
Myth: Homeopathy
is practiced by some quacks and those who have no scientific background...
Fact: Well,
homeopathy in most parts of the world is practiced by qualified conventional
doctors, the practitioners of modern medicine. The founder of homeopathy, Dr.
Samuel Hahnemann, MD was a German scientist. And most of the masters and the
pioneers in the past were enlightened conventional doctors.
Those who think we are quacks,
we just smile...
Myth: Homeopathy
is a miracle medicine and it cures every disease under the sun.
Fact: Homeopathy
is no panacea. It has its own set of limitations. We do fail in many cases and
keep learning to heal the suffering humanity.
Homeopathy is not an ultimate
medicine, for nothing is ultimate in this universe.
Myth: Is that
homeopathy would worsen my symptoms initially and then bring about
improvement". I am scared to try Homeopathy since I cannot afford to see
my symptoms getting worse than what I have at the moment.
Fact: It
is not true that Homeopathy would lead to an initial aggravation of your
complaints. After Dr. Kushwaha’s 5 years of dedicated and sincere practice in
homeopathy, he claims that he is yet to see any homeopathic aggravation!. The
aggravation which the patient experiences at times after taking the medicines
is usually coincidental with the progress of the disease wherein it worsens in
its natural course. This confirms that the homeopathic remedies are
usually harmless, but the myths associated with them are not.
