Homeopathy saved my daughter
when Western medicine could not. Western medicine had put her through years of extensive and intrusive examinations and constantly on antibiotics to the point that her auto-immune system is forever damaged and no antibiotics will work for her, should she come down with medical problems.
I will always stand by the use of homeopathic remedies in tandem with Western medical treatments, most especially if Western Medicine has no answers.
Many thanks to Dr. Seva Khalsa who saved my daughter from kidney disease and the possibility of kidney transplant and/or remaining in a wheel chair the rest of her life. A medical doctor in Clovis, NM treating children, adults and most specifically senior citizens with kidney disease ended up studying Khalsa's remedies and ended up writing a medical paper that was distributed to doctors everywhere, because she was so amazed at the treatments and how they worked on bladder and kidney disfunction. She has since used the treatments and healed many of her patients.
Open your minds, study homeopathy before you condemn. The ignorance about homeopathic medicine must end and it is interesting to learn how many people are being treated and made well, all around the world.
Yes, there are quacks in any profession.

So homeopathy saved your daughter, eh? How? Seriously, just tell us how, and we might believe you. Unless, of course, you don't know how it works, in which case, you don't know because it doesn't work.
I have some bottles of "Homeopepsi" to sell you. For only double the price of a bottle of Pepsi you can have "Homeopepsi." It uses the theory of dilution to increase the taste and flavor of Pepsi by adding water to a few drops left in the bottle. If it tastes just like water well it's working.
I should sell the idea of "Homeopepsi" to the Pepsi corporation.
I do not know what the doctor used on her. But if it was homeopathic, prepared by their guiding principles, THERE WAS NOTHING IN THERE. If it was a herbal prep of some other kind, it was unregulated, of unknown purity or concentration or efficacy, and a crap shoot all round.
Most studies of homoeopathy I've read fall into one of three camps:
1) The remedy was no better than a placebo "control" treatment.was better than the control treatment, but not significantly.
The sample sizes are usually pretty small too, I've seen plenty of studies willing to draw firm conclusions from a trial of <50 subjects.
Not all studies of homoeopathy are bad, of course, but CORE-Hom, a database of clinical trials of homoeopathy maintained by homoeopaths, demonstrates little for the field to be proud of.
As of May 2014, the database recorded 1048 trials, of which 352 198

Homeopathy is Western Medicine. Maybe KayCeSF is the one who needs to study it?
The only use of the term autoimmune I am familiar with is referring to diseases that involve the immune system mistakenly attacking and destroying parts of the body. If your daughters "auto-immune system" is permanently damaged then we have the cure for Type I Diabetes, lupus, Hashimoto's, and a host of other serious chronic conditions.
How was your daughter cured? What answer did the homeopathic remedy have? Do you have x-rays or cat-scans or blood-work from before and after she was cured?
All "medical papers" are distributed to doctors everywhere, it's called peer-reviewing and is a part of the scientific method. Which scientific journals was this one published in?
If your daughter suffered from dehydration and subsequent damage to the kidneys, homeopathy probably worked fine, as water is exactly what's needed.
There are more quacks in "alternative medicine" than in any other profession...
If you want us to take the claims of homeopaths seriously perhaps you ought to persuade them to show how homeopathy is directly linked to curing the myriad of diseases its advocates use it for, using specific case studies to back this up. Maybe you should encourage them to publish their research in accredited medical journals, such as The Lancet, in order to enable the practice to be scrutinised and possibly replicated by peers. Perhaps you could push for intensive medical trials on a wide range of volunteers to test its efficiency, including the ability to gauge for any possible side effects. Though, you know that homeopathy would fail to be approved by the medical community, so the best tool you have to convince others is emotional manipulation.
Funny, I've never used a medicine whose directions included "open your mind".
In fact, most medicines work if I am unconscious or even in a coma.
Do yours?
Pictures and lab work or it never happened.
"Western medicine had put her through years of extensive and intrusive examinations and constantly on antibiotics to the point that her auto-immune system is forever damaged and no antibiotics will work for her, should she come down with medical problems."
That statement alone says either:
1. you're bullshitting like a good shill, and you've overreached yourself.
2. you're bullshitting like a good shill, and you're trolling for people ignorant enough to believe that shit.
3. you're stupid, and not qualified to have an opinion about anything medical.
Your first paragraph demonstrates that you so little understanding of very basic principles in your daughter's health care (if indeed she exists) that you have no business making medical decisions or suggestions for anyone else.
One does not have an "auto-immune system". Auto-immunity is when the immune system becomes confused, and attacks one's own body. Auto-immunity has nothing to do with antibiotic resistance, to which you seem to be referring.
Resistance can occur due to over or improper use of antibiotics, but it would only apply to an infection that was unresolved due to improper or ineffective treatment, not all future infections in general, or "medical problems", as you put it.

Let's ignore the logical issues with everything you said at the beginning. I'm willing to chalk that up to just not knowing what the fuck you're talking about and thus misspeaking. I still must say that homeopathy didn't save your daughter. Medicine did. You, yourself said that it was an actual doctor who did the research on the matter and isolated something midst all the bullshit that might actually help. That's what medicine does. Homeopathy makes you a bowl of herbal soup, sends good vibes your way and holds out the hope that you'll get better on your own soon. Liberal application of herbs and spices is not a viable treatment for cancer and diluting a treatment does not make it stronger . That's the opposite of... everything, frankly. Less does not magically equal more (no matter what that old saying might claim). Using less salt than is called for does not make your meal saltier, filling a balloon with less air does not make it floatier and watering down alcohol or medication does not make you drunk or healthy faster! In actual medicine you'd be facing charges if it was discovered that you were purposefully diluting your patients' treatments without a damn good reason.
The shamans of homeopathy should frankly be thankful that no remotely informed individual would call what they do "medicine" because they'd all be in jail within the week were it reclassified as such.

Not only does water have a memory, it can also read minds. The water knows whether you're diluting it to make "medicine". Trust me. I'm a "doctor".
Well, see, it's not just diluting it. You also have to shake it. Somehow, I don't think you'll get people to buy into a carbonated beverage that you have to shake.
Wow, what a coincidence because "A medical doctor in Clovis, NM treating children, adults and most specifically senior citizens with kidney disease' told me KayCeSF is full of shit.
Confused?
