Homeopathy Rules: Peppermint - Coffee - camphor

A very common question of patients with homeopathy is somewhat involved, etc. if you must drink coffee.

To this end I received also the following question from a reader:

I'm always unsure if Schuessler salts the same "rules" apply in the case of homeopathic globules as: Can you also do not use toothpaste with menthol here mint tea drink any or no chewing gum, etc.?

Apparently, however, that on a salt I've read that you should drink peppermint tea by the way / can. Harm also a nice cup of espresso or caffeine should be left off completely? Thank you for your help.

The question is difficult, yet light.

Yes, a cup of espresso or mint tea can cancel the effect of homeopathic remedies.

Camphor removes almost all the funds as menthol.

So no Fishermen's Friend, etc. during a homeopathic therapy.

We come to the coffee.

A personal experience of this:

For years I had a "small" homeopathic remedy for hay fever taken.

drinking coffee, the effect was not affected. One year, the pills do not seem to work and I wondered whether the agent has changed.

In a short repertory I got the same result. Then I realized that the coffee had to be there - and so it proved.

I recommend all patients general coffee, peppermint, camphor and menthol to avoid - then you are on the "safe" side.

Incidentally, black tea is possible - the shows only very rarely a so-called anti-doping.

Updated 17 March 2010:

Again, a personal experience and observation: coffee appears at about 35% of patients antidote to the means. This is a personal experience I have observed in patients. Prerequisite:

1. The agent is, in my opinion certainly fits
2. The patient usually takes no medications
3. There are no other "blocks" before.

For camphor and peppermint I can not specify a number, because I recommend all patients to avoid these funds.

Homeopathy and Spagyric - quackery and effect not in use?

Today a reader asks me my fasting instructions:

"What they say about opinions of established media and physicians, the Spagyrik was ineffective quackery and its effect is not proven? probably is a similar level as that of the loose approach refuted in Appendix 1 nutritionist? And what does it work? Own experience, studies, the feeling? "

Answer: The dispute over the homeopathy or Spagyrik is indeed long and wide. There are studies proving their effectiveness, refute, meta-studies that evaluate the studies, etc., etc.

In almost all studies, mistakes are made.

Main error is to Popper (definition of scientific criteria) are:

The impartiality of the observer.

And fail most of the studies - in particular, and particularly in medicine.

In quantum physics this is the way Phämomen known - depending on which output is expected from the experiment occurs, the corresponding one ...

brought if in comparing the Borsche atom model is used (which has long been disproved) and the whole to the level of "drop in the ocean" is, I have to smile always, because at the molecular level can not homeopathy work and with their theory, the effect can not be explained .

Well, so we can see that something works, we do not need a theoretical model. If the farmers had waited until science explains why the wheat is growing - we were all starved to death already.

And in fact - I refer my opinion, especially from their own observations:

I see absolutely stunning effects in infants, which can definitely imagine anything - then there must be something other than a placebo effect.

I have infants treated with various diseases to manifest pneumonia - only with classical homeopathy and far more extraordinary views.

The dispute ended my "opinion" certainly not - but I'm the reader, at least not reply guilty ...

Homeopathy: A new U.S. study raises very important questions

So far, the effects of homeopathy by most scientists and doctors denied or interpreted as a pure placebo effect.

But now was proved by a more conventional medical-oriented group of scientists in the laboratory of the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center (MDA) in a comprehensive study, a real impact.

It is on the studied homeopathic remedies for high potency, so very dilute solutions that the original agent is no longer detectable. In purely physical, these were words for water. According to the representatives of the homeopathy works in this solution, but "spirit" of the originally brought more of the active ingredient. Conservative scholars considered this so far out of the question.

The U.S. study shows now but in the four high potency agents Carcinosin, Phytolacca, Conium and Thuja has a clear inhibitory effect on the growth of breast cancer cells. This impact would be in scale so far in breast cancer established and regularly used drug Taxol in accordance with the. This is from the biomass of the Pacific yew tree and won by the pharmaceutical giant BMS sold.

Whether the effect is actually corresponding to a homeopathic treatment of breast cancer and therefore ethically justifiable, but must be confirmed only by further studies. Thus the scientists in the International Journal of Oncology. "

Dr. Ralph Moss, declared medical school and his objectivity famous for, points out that one such results should not be closed before the eyes. Just because you can not explain it, could they should not be deprived of humanity. A scientist should always known all take note of facts without bias. Perhaps a different reason behind this effect, as suggested by the Hahnemann (the founder of homeopathy). All of this must still be explored, said Dr. Moss.
