Hi,
In my opinion Homeopathic remedies are prescribed by symptoms rather than conditions, as each case of a particular illness can manifest differently in different people. However, to make it quicker to find the symptoms related to Epilepsy, the symptom experienced by a previous vistor to our homeopathic remedy finder have been grouped, by them, under the name of Epilepsy. There may be symptoms not related to Epilepsy, and this may not be an exhaustive list of symptoms.

Very interesting... thank you Hank. I appreciate the clarification.

Do you practice it, or do you go to a homeopathic clinic your self?

But the way, WELCOME to CWE

The goal is to accumulate vast resources of knowledge in the field of homeopathy and complementary/alternative medicine for the benefit of those learning homeopathy and for those conducting research in the field.e Library will always be a work in progress. Over the years the College has been accumulating medical texts, microfilms and other resources. The library contains hundreds of texts in different languages and from around the world with many dating back to the 1800's. Included in the library are student thesis for the past few years. The College continues to gather resources to further the field of homeopathy and its instructors and students across the world.

I was wondering why nobody has tried homeopathy? I can tell why I didn't (for my 18 month old duughter): because I'm affraid. We've visited a homeopathic doctor, we have medicines: cicuta virosa for convulsions, and a potentation out of the MMR vaccine, because it is considered to have caused lots of damage (see Dr. Tinus Smits Homeopathy and Vaccination site); what I liked was that she was the first doctor which was intereseted in my daugther overall condition, starting from what she enjoys eating to the position she prefers to sleep, how she is, her caracter, all this things. What I didn't like is that she put all the things I told her in the computer to look for the right cure. It is true, as it's been said here that sympoms metter not the disease, but I think I would have liked to see more experience. Well, that's of no importance, since any of you might have seen a more qualified doctor.

The core of the problem is that all this medicines are poisons, right? I do know this type of medicine has been used since ancient times, but I still don't get it. I'm posting this hoping I'll get more insight from you. I understand the idea is that the quantities are very small. Ok, so I'm treated for I virus, I get an extract of that virus, I'm treated for convulsions I get an extract of a plant which is known to provoke my type of convulsions. That's supposed to work because it will boost up my immune system, my body will fight and get stronger. But if I already have a viral infection, for example, why isn't my body working, or what good will it bring to give it a bit of more virus? Is it because the amount is so small, and all this thing about water memory, so in fact my body will fight a virtual enemy? The idea is that it fights and it wins because the thing it is fighting is not really there so my body can't actually be defeated? I don't know if I made myself clear, I would just want to start believing in it. Of course, I shouldn't want anybody to make me believe in it, just to have an extra approach, but more information might help me make up my mind. When she's ok, I tend to say: we just go on with better food, vitamins, when she's ill I'm wondering why is she ill so often, what if I could still do something more, like that. There's just no other way to give it to my daughter, unless I believe in it. I know I don't believe in Depakine but I still give it, but it's done, I don't have the courage to change it now, not before I know for sure she'll be ok without it.

I know it sais to have no side effects, but if she gets a seizure I will consider it was caused by cicuta, even if it could only be concidental. The potentation from the vaccine can give really high fever, we'll freak out since fever can give her a seizure.

That's about it, my thoughts on homeopathy. I guess it really comes down to believing. And since one wouldn't anyhow give up conventional medication, why would you try that too? I'm just thinking for the case it would work, or just help, what if the orthodox medicine isn't totally controling, and this could be complementary?

It seems like nobody was lately interested in this, but if you do have any thoghts on that, please post them here. Thank you.

I was not able to find after hours of searching around, any good references to studies validating the homeopathic approach for treating epilepsy patients. There are non-anti-epileptic drug approaches that do have solid references (or at least some promising preliminary studies). Speaking for myself, I would rather try something that has been proven or at least been partially validated.
