Homeopathy is a safe and effective
system of medicine, used by millions
worldwide for more than 200 years. |
|
13:09:29 |
Lisa Samet, N.D. |
Medicines are prepared from natural
sources, and are used in extremely small
amounts. They are recognized by the
FDA. |
|
13:09:50 |
Lisa Samet, N.D. |
They are non-toxic and safe for
children, infants adults and animals. |
|
13:10:25 |
Lisa Samet, N.D. |
Homeopathy is based on a principle that
like cures like. That is, if a
substance can cause symptoms in a
healthy person, they can sure them in a
sick person. |

Homeopathy regards symptoms as the
body's healthy attempt to restore itself
to balance. |
|
13:12:32 |
Lisa Samet, N.D. |
A homeopath will choose a remedy that
supports the symptoms, rather than
opposing tehm or suppressing them. |
|

My 70 lb 8 yo daughter has chronic
insomnia. I'm planning to begin giving
her tryptophane, a b complex and C but
wondered if you had any recommendations
for additional (cont'd) |
|
13:14:19 |

things to help her transition to a more
normal sleep schedule, maybe coffee
cruda or something else? Also, tips for
myself, a 240lb bf adult, also with

Lisa Samet, N.D. |
In homeopathy, we treat the person, not
the 'disease' so not to be vague, but
there isn't a remedy for insomnia, per
se. You need to find out more about the
person, the insomnia, etc before
choosing an appropriate remedy. |

for home prescribing. |

Could you talk about miasms and how they
affect the way you prescribe remedies?
Do you always use a single
\constitutional\" remedy or do you ever
work on removing the \"layers\" of
miasms?" |

I always use a single dose. Combination
remedies are made by combing the MOST
LIKELY remedy for an illness, ie,
sinusitis, in the hopes that the one you
need will be in there. As a result,
people often get only partial results. |
|
13:19:08 |
purplepeace |
Oops, I didn;t mean combination
remedies. I was referring to using
nosodes to make a case more clear |
|
13:19:23 |

or to clear genetic issues |
|
13:19:38 |
sweetpea |
hi how is everyone doing today i had an
question |
|
13:19:40 |
Lisa Samet, N.D. |
Miasms are not very relevant for me in
prescribing, it is more like an
interesting theory. I take a good case,
which get all the patients symptons and
then match the remedy that fits
closest. If I'm right, the remedy
triggers the body to start healing it |
|
13:19:53 |
Lisa Samet, N.D. |
itself- that's important. |
|
13:20:27 |
sweetpea |
when u breastfeed people tell me your
breast start to sag and u lose weight is
that true? |
|
13:20:40 |
Lisa Samet, N.D. |
If the case is unclear that might be a
good strategy, but most of my cases are
clear. If you take a complete case, it
is usually clear! |
|
13:21:07 |
Lisa Samet, N.D. |
Is that a homeopathy question? |
|
13:21:26 |
purplepeace |
I see. Is/are there leading homeopaths
that you find particularly helpful for
casetaking techniques (Sankaran, Seine,
Vitolkos, etc) |

I have a 6 month old preemie with
complex II enzyme defiancy. I have
started him on coq-10, carnitor, and
fish oil, but it will be May before we
get into a mito specialist. Do you have
any reccomendations for other things to
start in the meantime? |
|
13:25:17 |
Lisa Samet, N.D. |
Sorry, that's not really a homeopathy
question. I'm sure there are good
supplements for this and it seems like
you've found some. A homeopathic remedy
might also be of value, but again, we
would need to know a lot more about him
to suggest something... |

ok - ! how does homeopathy come into
play with chronic diseases such as
cystic fibrosis or diabetes? can a
homeopathic practice go hand in hand
with these ailments? If so, how does
one start? |
|
13:28:38 |
Lisa Samet, N.D. |
ALL remedies are safe. Homeopathy is
energy medicine, ie, it is not give in
crude (or milligram doses). The dosing
is not determined by the age or weight
of the baby unlike in conventional
medicine. Its like getting a key in a
lock. If the remedy is |
|
13:28:58 |
Lisa Samet, N.D. |
right, it will help, if its not right,
likely nothing will happen. |
|
13:29:34 |

well, my homeopath said not to take the
lachesis (my constitutional)...and I
really need it!! |
|
13:31:29 |
Lisa Samet, N.D. |
Homeopathy is excellent in chronic
disease because it actually starts the
body to heal itself- the remedies don,t
heal you, they only act as a trigger for
the body to heal. EHomeopathy excels in
treating people with chronic disease
compared to convention |
|
13:31:41 |
Lisa Samet, N.D. |
which often just palliates the symptoms! |
|
13:32:04 |
wanderlost |
what is eHOMEOPATHY? |
|
13:32:20 |
Lisa Samet, N.D. |
a typo!!! :-) |
|
13:32:29 |
wanderlost |
oh :) |
|
13:32:31 |

why wouldn't it be safe for me to take
lachesis to keep my body operating well
especially while nursing? |
|
13:32:44 |

i have the same question as wanderlost,
specific to type 1 diagnosis in my 8 yr
old whole foods living dd. |
|
13:33:01 |
Lisa Samet, N.D. |
Why nisn't your body already operatin
well and why Lachesis of all the
remedies to help it? |
|
13:33:18 |
cschwagerl |
constitutional match. It really works. |
|
13:33:31 |
wanderlost |
so where would one start - I don't know
of any homeopaths in my area? You
mentioned a book earleier |
|

Great, then it is good for you, keep
