Has anyone tried the homeopathic medicines for any neurodegenerative disease? Did it help in anyway?

Homeopathic medicines for PSP


No, I often thought of taking Steve. He use to be under one, after his stroke, but that didn't do anything. Once he got the diagnosis, I doubt if he could of explained how he felt, to be of any assistance to the homeopathic, trying to help him. He always said he felt fine and there was nothing wrong with him. Always worth a try though!
Lots of love

Hi PSP Help
The NHS recently took the decision to stop using Homeopathy completely. This followed on from a very wide and deep study which found it to be no more effective than a placebo.
You may or may not be aware, but the NHS did have a National Homeopathy Centre of Excellance in Great Ormond Street. The Hospital was renamed Royal London Hospital for Integrated Medicine in 2006.
I can only say that in eight cases being treated by Homeopathy (two of them me) there was no improvement.
However there are many who say it is helpful.
The palcebo effect is that 30% of a population receiving a placebo report significant improvement.
For what its worth I am currently studying diet and metabolic pathways. This looks much more promising to me.
I will put some links in a new post.
All the best
Kevin
Thank you for your reply, Kevin.
I had no idea about the NHS run homeopathy clinics.
I would like to know more about it. Will wait for the links.
Cheers.

Hi PSP-Help
They have gone now.
If you want a practitioner you would be best to go here to get someone registered and trained and subject to review.

PS - Sorry that will take you here to find a homeopath
Hi Psp help,
My lovely mum was diagnosed 2 years ago now and has always been a very healthy person fit and active. when we were told there was nothing that could be done to either slow down or help with symptoms we went down homeopathic route .
We just don't know wether or not they are helping as mums psp is progressing however would it have progressed quicker ... who knows.? She has always eaten healthily so maintains that . She also has pure oxygen every morning from a bio machine and this gives her a boost in energy . Anything that mum thinks may help we try! She did say to me the other day that now she needs a miracle .... my heart broke.
Love to you and family

Thank you for your reply, Jude.
I feel so sad when I look at my sister. It's indeed heartbreaking to see them deteriorating. My sister falls once in a while but her gaze palsy is too obvious. Her face is expressionless and I have not seen any display of emotions on her face. It looks expressionless. She doesn't laugh or giggle the way she used to. I hope and pray your mother lives a long life and a miracle happens to all psp patients.
Lots of love
Ann.
My mom is willing to try almost anything.
She does Cryotherapy, and I believe we see more movement in her face since that began. Also a bit less swelling around the eyes.
She does Ozone Therapy and has a Meyer's Cocktail once a week. Her best days are after those treatments. She also does microcurrent neuro feedback, but it is too early to tell if it is helping.
She has a huge mess of supplements, but the favorites are Acetyl L-Carnitine, which for sure helped with energy; Ashwagandha Powder; Bacopa; and Magnesium L-Threonate. We are JUST starting the Magnesium, at night, in golden milk with coconut oil and Turmeric.
Our focus in diet and supplements is brain health (Lots of healthy fats & Omega 3's), Dopamine production, nerve health, and fending off depression.
PSP is a new diagnosis for us. Several doctors thought is was ALS, others did not. I will be looking into Salt Room Therapy to see if that helps with her lungs during cold and flu season. My son is looking into Float Therapy--we look at stress as our #1 enemy.
We also massage essential oils on her face, hands, and feet daily.
She is now non verbal and on a liquid diet. The use of her right hand is extremely limited. She has never fallen.
