catgate Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 We do not get "jabs". We rely on Homeopathy. At the first sign of "flu" in the area we take a few pillules of A.G.E. It's components are Aconite, Gelsemium and Eupatorium. Homeopathic pillules are about 3mm diameter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-pops- Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 I had flu once - in my twenties. It was possibly the worst experience ever. I actually wanted to die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was introduced to it the middle '50s and have used it, when applicable, ever since. Not only on myself but on several friends who have experienced its ability to do a bit of good.

It is a pity that there is such a large body of "anti Homeopathy" in the NHS. I suspect the main body behind it might be the makers and marketer of the modern prescription fodder. There is a small number of national manufacturing chemists that still supply Homeopathic remedys and fortunately can be found "on line". The only tricky thing/problem is the selecting of the remedy to suit the patient and his/her symptoms. I believe that there are still Materia Medicas to be had.

Belatucadrus Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 I know some NHS trusts were offering homeopathy, my understanding was they closed most of them because when asked to prove it worked there simply weren't any suitable clinical trials run to test the remedies on offer so had no proof beyond hearsay that it worked. I know some of the herbal medications like arnica work, but some statements made by some homeopathy practitioners give me problems. I just wish somebody would do a definitive study to separate the genuine from the overoptimistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irene Posted October 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 I take a cocktail of medication, which is all balanced on what seems like an extremely sensitive see-saw. The warfarin in particular. My 7-day am, 6pm and after dinner allocation ‘trays’ keep me in order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catgate Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 I was introduced to Homeopathy when I was just into my 20s and living 25 miles from home. I started suffering from a urine problem which the local doctor could not cure. Only about 200 yards from my parental home in Bradford lived a Homeopathic Practitioner. At the time neither my father nor I knew what such a being did to bring about cures, but nothing ventured etc. etc. So I went to see him. I spent quite a time answering questions and giving details of the problem until he eventually came up with a remedy that should bring about a cure. It did and I returned every fortnight for a check on things, preceded by a visit to my parents. This gradually became a weekly visit with my wife accompanying me. My wife would sit with his wife in their lounge whilst Ralph and I sat in his consulting room, putting the world to rights, until Dorothy called us into the lounge for supper. Very sadly Ralph died just after his 80th birthday and his wife seemed to disappear, without a "cheerio", immediately after the funeral. He was an extraordinary person. He was the son of a Bradford mill owner and had spent a lot of time on the continent pre 1939 selling woollen fabric and had first "found" Homeopathy over there.

Gandalph Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 No I didn't Irene. I screamed the place down like a 9 year old. Only joking. Of course I behaved myself. I took it like a man. Actually I look forward to getting it because with having C.O.P.D. I can't run the risk of getting a Flu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
