Uterine Fibroids

Hello :) i'm 32 years old, female and i'm suffering from uterine fibroids, i've decided to take hephar sulph calc, myristica sebifera, and silicea for it but i don't know the proper dosage or how long to take it for...any help would be much appreciated. i've had symptoms of fibroids for about 2 years but only about 2 weeks ago they made themselves apparent

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.

Don't take multiple remedies at once - this is very dangerous. One remedy at a time, with a change to a new remedy only being done after the effects of the first one are assessed and it is decided a new remedy is better suited - this is the correct and safe way to use our medicines.

It is also quite risky prescribing for yourself, as each medicine has body-wide effects, and they should never be given based on the mere name of the problem, or just for a small local symptom.

Fitness will attempt to find a remedy for you based on our principles, which give you a better chance of being aided.

thanks for the heads up :) i've read other forums and looked online for which remedy to take and none of the others cautioned not taking multiple at once so thats very good to know. so far all i've taken is the hephar sulph for two days and before taking it i read all i could find on what it did for the body and its side effects and all of the symptoms i have even ones i didn't think were related were at least mentioned, but i know i have an infants knowledge of homeopathy so i'm very grateful for any guidance i can get. thanks :D

That is because the majority of people posting on the internet about homoeopathy are not homoeopaths, have never been trained in homoeopathy, and post without any responsibility or accountability for the consequences of their advice.

Your remedy is: Calcarea Carbonica 200c.

HOW TO TAKE THE REMEDY:
Please take one dose. Just one dose. Not daily.
Report back in 7 days with changes observed.

TIME OF DOSE:
At night before sleeping.
Don’t take any more dose or any other remedy unless I tell you.

PILLS/PELLETS:
If your remedy is in the form of pills:
One dose is one pill.
Dissolve the pill in your mouth.

LIQUID REMEDY:
If your remedy is in liquid form:
Put one drop of the remedy in half glass of water, stir and take one tea spoon from it.
That’s one dose.

PRECAUTIONS:
Don’t take any other homeopathic remedy during this treatment.
Give a break of at least 10 minutes before eating/drinking anything before or after taking the remedy.
During the course of treatment, don’t eat anything which you have never had all your life.

HOW TO GIVE FEEDBACK:
A good example of how to report your progress is by giving %age improvement for all your health problems e.g.
Headache: 30% better
Low energy level: 50% better
Anxiety: 40% better
Sadness: No change
Depression: Worse
And so on list all your complaints.

GENERAL INFO ABOUT HOMEOPATHIC PRESCRIBING:
If someone is giving several remedies, without waiting to see the effect of one remedy, then it is totally against the core principles of homeopathy. Such an approach is unlikely to give permanent cure, rather it may distort actual symptoms making subsequent cure even more difficult.

Alright the only change i saw this week is heavier discharge with same bad smell as before, i think this means one of the fibroids is dying. And the start of a kidney infection this morning.
