Question 6

Myth 1 - Homoeopathy is an unproven science ?

Accepted Answer

How long has Homeopathy been used?
Fact: Homoeopathy (some times also spelled homeopathy) is based on experimental pharmacological and clinical data. Over the years, homoeopathic medicines have been extensively studied for their efficacy in a variety of indications. Clinical studies have been conducted in India as well as other countries. In fact, the term 'Allopathy' was coined by the founder of homoeopathy whom the allopaths regard as the founder of experimental pharmacology.

Question 7

Myth 2 - Homoeopathy is slow acting and cannot be used in acute cases of diarrheoa, fever, cough, cold, etc.?

Accepted Answer

Fact: Homoeopathy is fast acting in acute cases and can be effectively used in treating infections, fever, cold etc. Unfortunately, people tend to go to a homoeopath only when the acute problem becomes chronic. Naturally, these cases take longer to treat. Also, most people take recourse in homoeopathy in cases of arthritis, allergic asthma or skin conditions etc., which take a longer time to treat with any other system of medicines.

Question 8

Myth 3 - Onion, garlic, tea, coffee etc. are restricted with homoeopathic medicine?

Accepted Answer

Fact: Few physicians restrict the intake of onion, garlic, tea, coffee etc. along with homoeopathic medicine. But the researches have shown that there is no effect of such things on the efficacy of the medicine if these are taken in moderation & a significant gap is maintained between them & the medicine. Homoeopathic medicines act well on patients habituated to coffee and betel. Take the example of the southern states, where people primarily drink coffee, but Homoeopathy is most popular and is working very well in these states..

Question 9

Myth 4 - Homoeopathy is only good for children?

Accepted Answer

Fact: It's not that Homoeopathy is good for children only, it is just that children love to take homoeopathic medicines due to their sweet taste. It is good for children in the way that if we give homoeopathic treatment to our children from the very beginning it would give rise to a healthy generation because homoeopathic medicines not only remove the disease from its root but they also increase the resistance power of the body and they prevent the progression of disease or prevent the disease from becoming chronic. But homoeopathy is equally effective in adults too.

Question 10

Myth 5 - Disease increases after taking treatment?

Accepted Answer

Fact: Homoeopathic medicines are given on the basis of symptom similarity. The medicine which is given to cure a set of symptoms is capable of producing similar symptoms in a healthy human being. Primary action of the medicine may be observed by the patient as an aggravation of his disease but in true sense it is only homoeopathic aggravation which is a part of curative process.
If the indicated medicine is repeated more than required, it often increases the symptoms which subside on their own after withdrawal of the same. At times, if the patient has been on steroids or other allopathic drugs and he stops them abruptly there may be aggravation of the original disease.

Question 11

Myth 6 - All homoeopathic medicines are same?

Accepted Answer

Fact: It appears that all homoeopathic medicines are same because they are dispensed in globules. Actually in all preparations the vehicle remains the same but it is medicated by different homoeopathic dilutions. Depending on the illness, homoeopaths medicate with different medicines. The sugar pills serve only as a vehicle for transfer of the medicine. The selected medicine, out of a range of more than 5000 different dilutions, is targeted to the individual problems.

Question 12

Myth 7 -  Homoeopathy cannot be used in diabetic patients?

Accepted Answer

Fact:  Distill water is also a medium for dispensing of medicine to the patient so no question of diabetes and sugar.

Question 13

Myth 8 - Allopathic or other treatment cannot be taken with homoeopathic medicine?

Accepted Answer

Fact: Another very common misconception is that Allopathic or other medicines can not be taken with homoeopathic medicine. But if a person is on long continued allopathic treatment, especially steroids or "life-saving drugs", discontinuing the medicine abruptly might cause sudden increase in the intensity of his symptoms. So the best way is to reduce the dosage of the allopathic medicine gradually as the improvement starts & then stop them under the supervision of the doctor.

Question 14

Myth 9 - Pathological & other investigations are not required in homoeopathy?

Accepted Answer

Fact--For diagnosis, prognosis and proper management of the case homoeopaths too advice investigations .

Question 15

Myth 10 - Homoeopathic doctors or Physician are quacks who do not have formal training in the field of medicine.

Accepted Answer

Fact: Qualified doctors practice Homoeopathy, in most parts of the world. In India, there are over 180 medical colleges, which offer degree and post-graduate studies in Homoeopathy. At present, there are over 1,50,000 trained homoeopaths in the country.
