If conventional medicine is capable of curing disease, how come you have to repeat the medicines, sometimes for life? To me this is clearly not cure but suppression of the underlying cause. I wish my symptoms to be cured not suppressed. I have been choosing this option, as a fully trained and registered practising pharmacist for 30 years with great success for both myself and thousands of patients icluding a wide spectrum of animals; dogs, cats, horses, sherp, goats, pigs, chickens and cattle. Having a good knowledge of the practice, principles and science behind both conventional medicine and homoeopathy is a great benefit in making a reasonable and logical choice. Next time someone claims it is rubbish ask them what their actual personal experience is. Don't be deluded by ideas, stick to reality instead...in all aspects of your life.

I worked as a registered pharmacist for three years, dispensing millions of pills, mostly to the same group of individuals in repeat prescriptions. Being totally dispirited by seeing the same people marching in with prescriptions day after day, week after week, I decided that this wasnt working. A pharmacist colleague suggested I read abook on the science of homoeopathy by George Vithoulkas, which had recently been published. I could not put it down and on turning the last page was determined to seek the truth behind the words. Managing a high street pharmacy, full each day with desperate patients was a good place to start. I was literally spoilt for choice. I experimented on the first man who walked in that morning and ended up curing a chronic case of tinnitus, something conventional drugs are incapable of achieving to this day.

I had an acute pain in my left abdomen and felt sick and weak. The symptoms came on suddenly when I was at work, so I gentlty walked round the corner to a friend who is a homoeopathic doctor. He examined me and diagnosed an acute inflammation of the sigmoid flexure, which we both knew required antibiotics and painkillers for at least a week to see it off. He popped a dose of Belladonna 10M into my dry mouth and the result was astonishing. Within 30 seconds the concentrated burning marble of pain in my left gut subsuded and I felt the heat spread like a wave over my body. As I looked up and tugged my shirt to release the heat, my doctor grinned. The pain never came back.

I've had epilepsy for eight years, but wanted to reduce, or even stop, the chemicals I was prescribed. When I was a child, my grandmother used to give me homeopathy for basic ailments (she'd give me Arnica when I fell and banged my head, Belladonna when I had fever, or Nux Vomica when I had digestion problems). I then kept using homeopathy for sore throat and colds, and other ailments. When I was said a homeopath could help me with my epilepsy, I didn't hesitate before going to see him.

Since I've been taking homeopathy, I've been able to reduce my chemical treatment for epilepsy, very gradually. I now take half of the dose I was prescribed by my neurologist. Since then, I've had much less seisures, and now, when it happens, I don't need to rest for a long time to be well again, as I used to do. Moreover, I can concentrate much better on any studies or work I'm doing, for I no longer have the impression my brain is rolled in a wollen sheet, or surrounded by fog, which is one of the side effects of the chemicals I'm taking. The other benefit I drew from reducing my chemicals is that I fall asleep much less during daytime. It was very annoying to miss half of a lesson, at school or college, because I was asleep, and couldn't struggle against this drowsiness. I now hope, one day, I'll be able to stop taking the chemicals, and only keep taking the homeopathic remedy I was presccribed.

I contracted the Epstein Barr Virus in 1977, the same year my daughter was born. I saw several physicians and chiropractors, they could not tell me what was wrong with me. This condition kept me exhausted all the time. I could barely care for my daughter and myself. Thank God for my wonderful husband. I discovered a company that sold nutritional suppliments and began to take them.

My first husband died of Hodgkins Disease in 1970. My mother died of the effects of Supra-neuro-nuclear-Palsy, a palsy of the nucleus of the brain. I helplessly watched them suffer and die. This is when I began to start my research. Back then, I had no computer to look for information. I discovered a company that sold nutritional supplement and began to take them.

I discovered Homeopathy by visiting a health food store in my city. It had been there for sometime, but was very small and not well advertised. I use Homeopathy for just about everything and recommend it to anyone who asks for help. My daughter uses for her children with wonderful results.

A friend I met who was a herbalist suggested it.

The bad congestion went away

My mother was training to be a homeopath and recommended I try it.

I know a lot of people who homeopathy has helped for a variety of things including my own anxiety to addictions and eating disorders as well as minor ailments such as colds or blocked ears. The best way I can describe the positive effects it has had on me is that I'll suddenly realise that I am no longer suffering from the symptoms I originally visited my homeopath for. It gently moves me back to health and works WITH my body without me having to worry about side effects or chemicals in my body.

Homeopath was recommended by my Chiropractor :-)

Homeopathy managed to control periods for a number of years before needing a hysterectomy

i was brought up with homeopathy used by my parents for acute and first aid conditions, then trained as a veterinary homeopath after qualifying as a veterinarian.

My daughter suffered with constipation from about 3 years of age which really affected her energy levels and caused much suffering if she didn't take a daily laxative Movicol. I wished her not to be dependent on a laxative from such an early age. With the help of a fellow homeopath we found that the remedy Natrum muriaticum worked wonders, and we weaned her off the movicol over a month with no return of the constipation.

Dont like the side effects that conventional medicine gives....my opinion of conventional medicine is it is given to cure one problem and then brings on others I had been very ill for three years with tightening of the throat and neck...i put it down to allergies but my doctors, dont recognise this...i was treated for acid reflux, which i did not have, i was given PPIs, even after taking one i became quite ill i developed severe palpitationsd and dizziness, GP found that my blood pressure became quite low....I have felt much better through taking the homeopathic remedies that i was prescribed by Petra Wood my homeopath,

I am much more back to my normal self enjoying life once again and able to plan ahead which i was unable to do for three year, after a recent endoscope once again it is discovered that the esophagitis no longer exists and the hiatus hernia is practically non existent which is good news for me, i can honestly say i am starting to enjoy life once again....

Chronic Pressure Urticaria (CPU) for 15 years, I had seen several Doctors and finally 2 Consultant Dermatologists with no relief, A colleague is a Homeopath and felt that she could help me.

I was prescribed anti-histamines by the Doctors and Consultants, which I constantly took.The anti-histamines became less effective then was prescribed steroids and after this my last alternative was immunosuppressents. I looked to alternative sources, the Homeopathic remedies given to me have completely relieved me of ALL symptoms. It is only very occasionally that I get the itchy hives/swellings that plagued me before my treatment and when I do get them I just get a top to my treatment.

My warts disappeared one by one within two weeks - after being there for six years.
