Homeopathy Treatment

[lampoo]

Is there any homeopathy treatment for PD? How it is effective? any body has experience?

[Boscoejean]

There is no clinical evidence to prove that homeopathy is effective in Parkinson’s. Some medical practitioners are concerned that this is little more than the placebo effect, but if this works then understanding why it works may not be important to those who use it.

Anecdotal evidence suggests that it can improve some of the symptoms of Parkinson’s in some people, for example:

How can it help in Parkinson's?

argentum nitricum – for ataxia (loss of muscle co-ordination), trembling, awkwardness.

causticum – for restless legs.

cuprum – for muscle cramps.

mercurius vivus – for easing Parkinson's that is worse at night, and for panic attacks.

zincum metallicum – for restlessness and depression.

I am inclined to try but the doctors here give medicines mixed with white sugar pills and liquids, so we don't know what is given.

I have read this:

Homeopathy Medicines for Parkinson's Disease

Causticum for Parkinson’s Disease with Excessive Rigidity. The muscles get hardened, leading to extreme body stiffness. Patient finds great difficulty in getting up from a sitting or lying position

Gelsemium Sempervirens for uncontrolled shaking of Hands. It has wonderful effects in treating diseases of nervous origin and of great help for nervous and sensitive patients . The patients experience vigorous shaking of hands or the shaking of legs or tongue

I had asked Dr. Michael Okun about the effectiveness of homeopathy for PD. He told that there ae several of his patients who have benefitted from homeopathy

[crewmanwhite]

There is no doubt that homeopathy is a powerful and beneficial medicine that has been proven over hundreds of years.

However, Parkinson's is a complex disorder emanating from several known causes - trauma/stress, toxins and/or infection.

In the hands of a skilled practitioner, homeopathy can be effective at reducing some symptoms but has not been shown to reverse the causes.

There is one exception. The Aqua Hydration Formulas, developed in Australia during the 1990s by a neuro scientist and a naturopath, are very effective at calming the hypothalamus/pituitary/adrenal axis (HPA), thus helping to reverse the trauma/stress causes. They also help with nutrient absorption and cell detox. They are, essentially, complex homeopathic formulas.

Actually, homeopathy has been repeatedly proven to a sham. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeo...

[Esperanto]

Homeopathy treats the patient, not the disease, and has no separate protocol for Parkinson's disease. However, homeopathy does describe a large number of remedies that can be used to reduce various Parkinson's symptoms - for example, trembling, mask face or poor sleep. All symptoms and remedies are systematically described in a so-called repertory.

The Dutch Parkinson's Association has clearly explained the principle, without making value judgments, in their journal. For those interested with a translation program, as most non-English speakers use, here is the article:

I started taking Vortex L by Labofractal in June and have noticed improvements since then: my sleep is a little better, and the effect of the levodopa (Stalevo+mucuna) lasts longer (closer to three hours than to the usual two). The therapist who recommended the remedy explained that it potentiates the effect of other treaments.

Labofractal was created by Dr Mohamed Haddad, a Moroccan researcher interested in quantum medicine.

A lady with Parkinson's recently told me that her tremors were relieved by Heloderma 9CH (French dilution). A pharmacist will be able to give you the equivalent in your country.

Narayami has one remedy for Parkinson's (OM 34P), and one forTremors (mix 43P).

Anthroposophic doctors often prescribe the following subcutaneous injections: Mesencephalon GL D8 + Arnica e planta tota D20. WALA is a German brand available in Germany and Switzerland, but online pharmacies do ship their products abroad (arzneiprivat.de, for example).

If you read French, Homéopathie et Parkinson by Albert-Claude Quemoun (2010) might be of interest to you.
