> I am in the process of trying homeopathy. I think it's helped me, but I can't tell because I have been also trying other ADs and opiates through the process. Generally though I was waking up very, very depressed in the morning and waiting for the opiate to take effect. I was in so much pain. Since I've done homeopathy, I don't wake up with that horrible depression in my chest. I am generally not subject to placebo effects so I do credit the homeopathy. And I wouldn't want to get into a discussion here about why it works, or doesn't work--you can probably guess why.
Hi Shelli.
It wasn't my intention to bash herbology or naturopathy so much as it was to vent how it irks me that the word homeopathy should be used in ignorance and as a euphemism so often in health food stores and attendant literature.
I am truly interested to know what sorts of things you are trying. I guess I'd understand if you are reluctant to do so. As I stated in my picayune post, I have no doubts that St. John's Wort and other plant extracts can have therapeutic effects. The same is true of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and fatty acids. After all, from plants come drugs. I think this often escapes the memory of the masses now a days. Miracle drugs are even to be derived from the toxic skin exudations of South American tree frogs. I would certainly want to know what it is that is improving your condition so that I might be able to improve my own. I'd drink fermented elephant piss if it were to bring me into remission. Well, on second thought...
Does your consultant call himself a homeopath?
