The ABC Homeopathy Forum
How long before switching remedy?
I was given a constitutional remedy of sepia and told to take it for 5 days....I have done that and have noticed no difference. It has only been 8 days, but I feel I should notice some change. Should I try something else or do I need to wait? My hair continues to fall and it appears to be falling faster ever since I started the supplements and remedy...I am stressed which probably is not helping. Please help!This is my first experience with homeopathy and I don't want to lose hope.heather30_72 on 2005-06-16
This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
you need to be a bit more patient as homeopathy is not a quick therapy with chronic conditions - it may be wise to get some reassurance from your homeopath on this too.
what potency sepia did you take?

It depend on the potence your given, and in what manner its given.
It also matters if the remedy is rigth for you.
But normally, there is to be, in every case, chronic or not, A REACTION that shows within 48 houers, what tells if the remedy is rigth or wrong, no reaction at all, well....that may implicate a block, or something else, thats not removed from your case while on that remedie, as sepia dont tolerate acids, and no reaction will show as long as its used.
Normal prescription, of a remedy is usually one dose, then wait and see , 3 days, then checkup, if not earlier, dep on what happens.
And, your sure,?? you where to a homeopat?
On what you describe, im not getting that idea.

I went to a homeopathic RN..she had me take sepia 30c 3 pellets 3x a day and then sepia 1m 5 pellets at bedtime for 5 days....
heather30_72 last decade
give it a few days longer to see if a reaction kicks in. I would have expected a reaction sooner - i.e. by now - but this is very individual and it can take longer than the this.
have you spoken to your homeopath about this? the key thing is that you should be feeling better in yourself even if nothing else by now - speak to her if this is not the case - she can only help further if you let her know what is happening.
you mention supplements also - what are they?

This a ignorants way of prescribing homeopathy.
It is not done according to rules, on how to prescribe in organon.
It stinks of routine prescribing without having any controll of the case, in a allopatic manner.
Also known as shotgun theraphy.
I suggest you find a homeopat that knows how to do it properly.

I have been told that the average time to wait for say a M potency is in between 15-21 days; and less for lower ones.
hope this helps.

thank you erica and mariah for your help on this issue....
I have spoken to her and she asks that I be patient and that it does not happen overnight....I do feel better mentally, more focused, less tired, my hair is still falling out though, but I guess that will take time to correct itself....to allvis's response...she is not ignorant and she actually spent about 5 hours with me gathering information in great detail before deciding a constitutional remedy for me...so she did put a great deal of thought into this and she also came highly recommended by others that she helped and cured

".to allvis's response...she is not ignorant and she actually spent about 5 hours with me gathering information in great detail before deciding a constitutional remedy for me.."
Kindly may i ask where and when i labeld her as ignorant??
I dont like false accusations like that!!
And now, im calling her ignorant,for the first time, since you ask me to,...if its so, that she has told you there is a constitutional remedy, there is no sutch remedy, there is only remedies for the, AT ANYTIME PRESENTED PICTURE!
And five houers interigation, in order to find a remedie, is not homeopatic either,it is the police metode, its the hallmark of a person who has no experience or knowledge in homeopathy.
A case anmanesis, in full, takes from a half houer to max 90 minutes, if the person performing the anamnesis,is a educated,real homeopath.
And, if really you had any confidence in her, you wouldnt post her and ask what rigth and whats wrong..
as that is her duty, to tell you, both on how long a remedy act, and on how fast it act, and the normal thing is reaction within max 3 days, and a check up of you after max 3 days,then regulary and suited intervalls, acc to the potency..
On one single dose!!
NO; you havent been to a homeopath, but that dont give you the rigth to act as you have done here.
Due to the dubious treatment youve been commited to, you come here and judge real homeopathy as being bull, and insinuate that the truth , as i told you, about potences, is a labeling of that person, as a ignorant.
Well, yes, now it is.
On your request and confirmation.
I recomend you to find a proper homeopath.
Do this get your attention?
And ps, my help, your not welcomed to, your too insolent and respectless.

Your attitude is uncalled for allvis...if you look at your posting you claimed her way of prescribing was ignorant, although ...therefore you are calling her ignorant...
I am not saying homeopathy doesn't work...I am new to this and I am scared about my hair falling out and am seeking guidance from several different places....I am doing my research which is what an intelligent and informed person does...
I am sorry if I offended you and as for your help...I don't want it, because I feel as if you have a lot of negativity around you and I don't need that right now...as for anybody else willing to help that has been kind, such as erika and mariah...there help I am willing to take and accept and appreciate a great deal....
I don't want to use this board as a tool for arguement so unless you are here to help me or others, please do not post a reply

HI heather - glad you managed to get in touch with your homeopath and that you are feeling better in yourself. It is really hard with hair loss to judge how long it will take to resolve and hopefully this will begin to show some signs of improvement soon. are you getting a good amount of zinc and vit. c in your diet?

No way my dear, you chose to interpret what i posted, in a negative manner.
It may bee a good indication of a prooving of sepia..
None of my patients, feel that im negative..only they who really are not interested, in getting cured, or in genuine homeopathy, call me negative, entirely as a mirroring of their inner, negative self.
And by the way, dont expect, that it is not reacted on, when you speak out of your ignorance,in a insolent , and respectless manner.
Besides, you spread lies, and accuse me of doing what i havent done.
Do you really think, that i find that respectfull or polite?
Giving you any advice is futile, as you act agressive to the answers you have asked for.
Homeopathy isnt about soothesaying, keeping the patient in a comfortable lull, supressing symptomes, or give them proovings, while milking them for money.
Just to bad , that its whats done in too many cases..
And its amazing, how many who lets themself get talked round to beliving , homeopathy takes time..and other convinient excuses, when problems or no reaction arise..some has even belived in soothesayers, for as long as 20 years, while steadily growing sicker and sicker..
And the funnyest thing is, they do also defend the fake to the death, in blind faith.

this allvis person seems to do nothing but say how wrong everyone is (and how only he knows whats right), abuse, then take offence when challenged, and gives no valuable advice. Some person had ID blocked because he was supposed to be offensive - why is someone like this person allvis allowed this degree of offensiveness?

We really don't like to ban people, rather to tame them.
However, sometimes we really have no choice, and yes, homlee, this is one of those situations.
Allvis has been banned.

Thank you to homlee and also to moderator for banning allvis...it is upsetting enough going through some form of medical crisis without somebody else adding to the confusion/
to erika: I have been taking a multivitamin from all one that has zinc in it and in addition to that my homeopath has me taking additional vit c and calcium at night before bed
thanks for your kindness

My homeopath had me take sepia several years ago and one major thing I learned about sepia is that it is very sensitive, meaning that there are alot of things that interfere with its action (such as citrus and chocolate). I have been hard-pressed to find very much about this in books but have been told about this from 2 different homeopaths, plus my own personal experience. Maybe you need to eliminate some things from your diet for the remedy to work properly.
