Inverted homeopathy
We had to smile when we read, “They didn’t do anything! The inverted homeopathy of the ER.”
Written by a doctor, this article discusses a common scenario in hospital emergency departments: a person arrives for treatment still in pain or with a problem unresolved by prior medical investigations and prescribed medicines.
Dr Leap outlines their probable diagnostic and treatment history:
“Treatment: Included numerous doses of morphine and phenergan, as well as fluids and Zofran. Frequent warm blankets were applied. Labs included: CBC, comprehensive metabolic panel, lipase, urinalysis, pregnancy test. All negative. Imaging: CT scan of abdomen and pelvis with contrast, followed by ultrasound of pelvis. All negative. Discharge medications: Hydrocodone, Naprosyn and Phenergan.”
He ponders why, with the best of medical care, the patient or family member still says, “They didn’t do anything!” The musing is fair enough; a lot has been done but the patient is still in pain.
Homeopaths frequently see people just like the one he discusses in our clinics – people who still feel unwell in spite of the best of allopathic (orthodox) treatment, and, equally common, people unwell because of the treatment.
We smiled because homeopathy is an inverted process to the one described. It’s a simple process: we carefully go through the person’s symptoms, find a matching remedy, and prescribe it with a minimum of fuss and expense.
Are we successful? More often than not, and not just for those whose condition may have been labelled psychosomatic, but for those whose problem is obvious. While investigations are important – they show what is and isn’t wrong – they don’t always lead to relief. For anyone in that situation, consider homeopathy; it regularly works wonders for “incurables”.
