The ABC Homeopathy Forum
for: dr. joe =)
Dear Dr. Joe De Livera,I come to these forums a lot, although I am not very good at homeopathy, I have been doing many readings about it and am very intrigued. I was wondering (if you would please) help me with something? I have heard great things about the mineral 'Silica' and for its ability to give clear, healthy, smooth skin, healthier hair and nails and basically revitalize the body. There are many silica supplements sold on the market, however, they are very expensive and I cannot afford them (I'm a student).. and also I do not know how legitimate they are in terms of purity, etc.
Hence I was wondering, can I make a Silicea drink similar to what you suggest about the Arnica? For example, if I insert 3 or 4 drops of homeopathic liquid Silicea 30 into a 500 mL bottle of water, succus it, can I drink a cap-ful every night?
Will this have a positive effect on my skin, hair, etc? Because this is something I would love, love to try.. because it is inexpensive and I know homeopathy is proven and pure.
What potency would you suggest? How can I perform this proper method? Also if I drink just a capful every night, will this have any long term side-effects?
PS: I'm sorry I keep talking but I just wanted to let you know that 'silica' is also apparently found naturally in well-water :) thats why recently 'Fiji' water is becoming more and more popular, haha, to the point where the president of the USA also drinks it!
Thankyou for all your time, Dr. Joe. Hope I did not bore you. Thanks again!

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Silicea in any potency is a deep acting remedy and may only be used under guidance.
It is not a remedy that can help you to 'give clear, healthy, smooth skin, healthier hair and nails and basically revitalize the body.'
I have proved beyond any doubt that Arnica 30c in the Wet dose will fulfill your requirements.

You may like to know that I am living evidence of the efficacy of Arnica in the Wet dose as at age 82 I have a skin without any wrinkles and many who meet me do not believe that I am all that ancient.
I have taken Arnica 30c for the last 16 years nightly and I believe that this is the reason for my sense of well being today.

Dear Dr. Joe,
Hello! I hope you are well this morning. Thank you so much for such a quick response. Oh.. thankyou for letting me know how deep acting silica is. I have recently started Arnica, the method you suggested, and I will report to you how that goes. =) I'm very very excited about it.
I wanted to ask you about silica before doing anything myself...and I would like to thank you for informing me.
Also doctor, will taking 'colloidal silica' or orthosilicic acid help hair/skin? One condition I would like to mention to you is that my nose/face becomes very very oily usually. And for a woman, this is terribly embarrassing....Honestly I am afraid to face people because of it! I have suffered from this since puberty and now I am 20, a young adult. :( I asked about silica because I have heard it can remove excessive oil from the skin (I could be wrong). What should I do Dr. Joe?
Thankyou for yout time doctor. I will be eagerly awaiting your response. Take care.

I note that you keep harping back to the Silicea again but you have not indicated if the Arnica therapy I prescribed has helped you.
Have you any specific reason for doing so?

Dear Dr Joe,
hi, I hope you are doing great today...I'm sorry i did not post about the Arnica,i just wanted to give it a little more time to Calculate *all* of the benefits or effects it would have on me. One thing I noticed immediately is that i sleep better! i haven't been able to sleep properly for almost 6 months now, im in college AND have a full time job, i pay rent, buy my own food, so its very tough and it takes a toll on me. i slept like a baby the 2nd night i took it! wonderful!
Also, you must think i am totally obsessed with Silica :) haha...well to be honest, i sort of am, but i like to venture cautiously. i went to a local health shop and the nutritionist said that a silica supplement would be the best to combat my oily skin. I have dehydrated skin (despite the fact that i drink 2.5 Liters of water everyday!) and i HATE using any cosmetics or cream on my face because, no matter how 'moisturizing' they claim to be, they are all still chemicals!! my diet is normal, i don't eat anything i shouldn't... i always cook my own food and use my own pure ingredients...once in a while i will have chocolate/candy, but that's mostly around my menstrual period when i get cravings.
When i heard about the silica, it got me wondering..because my father was a homeopath (not a professional one but he practiced it A LOT and everyone would come to him for help!) but when he died a long time ago, homeopathic remedies in my family died along with him. i remember we would never use allopathic medication, mostly only homeopathic, and it would always work. if i had time on my hands i would love to study homeopathy. i have kept my fathers books safe, such as the 'materia medica' and a whole bunch of others :). some of them are so fragile they are falling apart and have to be held together with ribbons.
So basically, i just wanted to ask you about the Silica remedy for my oily skin. For people who do not have oily skin, they dont understand the severe torment and embarrassment we go through. i cannot use makeup because the oils in my face literally eat it up and it doesn't stay on my face. perhaps the Arnica will help me? if it does i will certainly let you know. i was just dreaming that silica might have been that one miracle remedy that may help me with my condition. maybe it was all wishful thinking..
i do not want to use anything that can have adverse affects, and i know that homeopathy is not to be taken lightly.
Thanks again for all your time and effort, Dr. Joe. I truly, truly, appreciate it.

You are the patient and I have tried to help you with your oily skin.
You have only taken Arnica in the Wet dose for a few days and have already discovered that it has helped you with your insomnia.
I am confident that it will also help your oily skin in a few days and I would recommend that you do not use any remedy other than Arnica 30c in the Wet dose on your face to help your problem.
I am beginning to wonder if your problem is more in your imagination that otherwise as this is not impossible especially when the consultant does not see the patient face to face.
You can apply the remedy water from the bottle directly on your face using some cotton gauze which you will dampen in the remedy water which you will pour out on a saucer without putting the gauze into direct contact with the water in the bottle.
You can also get Arnica 6c in the Liquid Dilution as I have found that it is more effective for Acne and there is every possibility that it may be more effective for your skin problem.
