Firstly, a big thank you so much to ‘Jack’ for his comprehensive reporting over at Totality of Evidence News during the last few years.
This post aims to speak to
’s totally on point response to my recent note
‘I think that concept is hard for people to get their head around.’
I agree.
The statement should really be;
‘Homeopathy has remedies for people with conditions, not conditions.’
So,
to elucidate the fact that
homeopathy always respects you as an individual
I have compiled a list of CASE REPORTS
to outline the process of what working alongside a registered classical homeopath should look like
and yes, you are always front and centre !

‘In contrast to frequent claims, the available Meta Analyses of homoeopathy in placebo-controlled randomised trials for any indication show significant positive effects beyond placebo. Compared to other medical interventions, the quality of evidence for efficacy of homoeopathy was similar or higher than for 90% of interventions across medicine. Accordingly, the efficacy evidence from placebo-controlled randomised trials provides no justification for regulatory or political actions against homoeopathy in health-care systems.’2

Thanks Sarah for the shout out.
Homeopathy is an intriguing rabbit hole, that i hope, for the wellness on human and animal kind, sees a massive resurgence in attention and education. It takes time to understand.
Your updated title:
‘Homeopathy has remedies for people with conditions, not conditions.’
Maybe:
‘Homeopathy has remedies for people with conditions, not remedies that target a particular condition which commonly gets labelled as some diagnosed dis-ease - or state of ill-at-ease.
A headache is a condition, which the allopathic doctor would commomly prescribe paracetamol to help it go away. A homeopath (in my lay understanding) would assess the person and find out what led up to the state of ill-ness, what factors stimulate the symptoms and make it better or worse. The homeopathy would prescribe a remedy based upon the individuals collection of unique symptoms and experiences, with the aim of restoring the state of wellness. This remedy could be markedly different in type and/or potency for each person who has the same headache condition.
Medicine treats for short term gratification....make the headache go away ( who doesn't want that?!), but what if it repeatedly retuns, and then the drug fails to stop the symptom, a higher dose is needed, and then other side effect start to creep in. A new drug us added, and so the drug treadmill begins.
True Homeopathy, only uses one remedy at a time, with the overall intent of restoring you to a stafe of full health.
What i find fascinating is the homeopathic process with chronic ( long standing) conditions, where the remedies given aim to reverse the symptom profile that led to the current state. This process could take month, may be years to reverse.
I do worry that we don't have enough classically trained homeopaths (hard to find), and that the average joe cant afford their much needed services.
