Guest guest Posted July 24, 2001 Report Share Posted July 24, 2001 Boy you touched a sore point with me on this one. This has always been one of my major disagreements with Homeopathy = the use of Mercury, Arsenic, etc (regardless of the smallness of dosage) to effect a cure. It just never seemed right to me to use poisons to achieve a permanent healing and I always ask the question, "Are we looking only at symptom relief with this kind of handling?". I know there is some workability to Homeopathic technology and that some swear by homeopathic results (like handles like etc.) but somehow when this technology decides to embrase poisons, I draw the line and become sceptical. Besides, I've always found an herbal approach to work wonders and is more natural IMOHO. Who else has a thought on this? I'd be interested in any other opinions on it.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2001 Report Share Posted July 24, 2001 I have used the Homeopathy a few times when I thought I was desperate. Sometimes it worked..othertimes didn't because I was too afraid of using the cures that I knew were poisonous. I would hope that anyone using these cures were extremely knowledgable and not just practicing. There is a business in one of the towns nearby that sells lots of homeopathic remedies, I found out that the lady bought the business and has no knowledge whatsoever. It scares me!!

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2001 Report Share Posted July 24, 2001 Doc I agree with you. I have often wondered how this could be helpful in treatment. I think the use of the metals and poisons are dangerous. Just the vapors from mercury can make people ill.
