Hate to burst your bubble...
 
I'm going to have to play my "tough love" skeptic card here. When alternative medicine has been proven to work, it then becomes medicine.

Here is an article that you should read before anyone else chimes in:

Save your money. Spend your time and resources on researching real science.(Professionals who submit their research to peer review)

I know you're looking for something to latch on to, we all are. But don't let charlatans make a living off of our suffering...we're better than that.

Hi Neel,

I do use homeopathy, but not for MDS. I know of others who have had success with ITP, mostly with children. Homeopathy is very controversial in the allopathic medicine world as you can imagine. We use it mostly for "first aid" type issues. I was pretty much a skeptic until my GP suggested I use it for a bad cold/flu. I very rarely have to seek medical assistance but about two years ago, I was having a terrible time with a virus. So I called my doc but he was booked solid so he asked a few odd questions about my symptoms and suggested a homeopathic remedy. The response was rapid. With the first dose, I was able to sleep and second one cleared the throat problem completely. From then on, I felt there was something to this and have continued to learn more about it. BTW, he said if I did not get any relief, to go to an urgent medical clinic.

For something as deep-seated as MDS, you really need to work with a good homeopath. And then there various flavors of homeopaths. You need to give it at least 6 -12 months. I am currently working with classic homeopathic for menopause issues for the past six months and am seeing improvements in other areas as well. The biggest....hot flashes abated and seasonal allergies are dramatically improved.

We use a combination of allopathic and complementary medicines. The complementary therapies are very supportive for healing since they all pretty much focus on the person and not the disease. Homeopathy looks at the physical, mental and emotional aspects of the person.

Hope this helps.....
Marlene
