The ABC Homeopathy Forum
Complementary remedy
I have to take Graphites for my thyriod problem and hepar sulf. for prostate. hepar sulfur is complementary to Graphites. My question is how to take this remedies how many times and how long. Should I repeat it in some period of time? Both of them I have 6c potency pellets. Thank youosik52 on 2014-01-22
This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Actually I ask a question to the homeopathic doctor online. Hi sent me this advice but did not explain in which order I have to take this medicine. I have asked him again, but no replay from him. So, may be you can give me list of questions I have to answer to, in order to find correct remedy. I am 61 year old man and have Hypothyroidism during 16 years and take synthroid 150 mcg. and BPH - prostate problem during 10-11 years and take flomax 0.4 mg. Also in the last 6 year I have Urticaria which suddenly can apear (usually close to summer),like little spot and then growing up on hand , legs, butt and itching and in 4-6 weeks it didapear by itself. All this problems I think are result of thyroid problem, because it impact my immune system. That why I would like to try homeopathy. Thanks

You have taken a lot of homeopathic remedies and to top it all the allopathic medicines are masking your symptoms. Please stop all homeopathic remedies & Flomax.
You can decide about Synthroid after reading its literature if it can be stopped right away or needs to be weaned.
For now, please take a dose of Thuja 200c, just one dose and report back.

right now I have Thuja occident 200c drops. So one dose on the bottle is 10 drops in 30 ml of water, is it correct?
osik52 last decade
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.
Thats one dose.
