Have any of you seen/experienced/heard of a homeopathic remedy interacting with a pharmaceutical? I ask because this is one of the allegations made in the FDA announcement of its hearing.
The only reaction I've ever seen is that as a patient gets better, he or she needs less medication and may even be able to go off of it. Allopaths might interpret this as "potentiating". We, of course, call it healing.

Remedies and drug interactions?

Re: Remedies and drug interactions?
It does not interact, it can not do so being energy.
I can only think of one example (involving inappropriate use of clashing principles):
A new drug which suppresses protein synthesis, is being used in cats with FIP to block viral replication and possibly to block production of neutrophil blood cells (which are misdirected by virus to kill the cat). Nobody knows exactly what it does. Survival is 2 days to 2 years on this suppression, with an average of 49 days survival. Ironically they call this drug polyprenyl immunostimulant! PI for short.
In FIP, Homeopathy causes rebuilding of cell strength (requiring protein building activity) to exclude viral attack and to prevent neutrophil breakdown to release toxins that kill, and slower recovery of thymus activity which kills the virus. If there is time to heal this way, the cat recovers full health.
These are clearly opposite approaches. In only one case, the wife wanted to use homeopathy despite that the husand had chosen PI drug and had started using it. For about a week, both were used, and the cat clearly felt worse. This is the one case I remember where a cat FELT worse when a remedy was added. The homeopathy was stopped, but I can not tell you what was going on inside. Maybe the cat detected at an energy level that there was a war between building and blocking protein synthesis. PI was continued and the cat died more than a month later, indicating the PI was still doing successful protein blocking (otherwise it would have died in days) and/or the homeopathy also heped a bit.
The question arises WHY the cat felt worse for those few days.
Whatever the cause, the cat still died on schedule for the drug.
Cats are extremely sensitive to energetic action and forces. They will psh away a mismatched remedy for example and practically swallow the bottle of a much needed one.
So I do BELIEVE that the clash of systems made the cat feel worse, despite it being a sigle case.
However this was not a DRUG interaction but an energetic level interaction detected by the cat.
There was no evidecne of reduction in the drug's effect on suppression of protein and the cat died (after slightly extended life span) as usual on that drug.
Mixing opposing approaches is stupid of course. Once must select one.
The FDA is barking up the wrong tree. And they are likely calling something homepahtic that is not a single homeopathic remedy with KNOWN documented effects.
An other example:
In cats with FIP given steroids, no amount of homeopathy has been found that can undo that steroid damage in the time needed before death ensues from steroid/FIp combination (taking 2 -14 days). Thousands of cases have shown this. Research has also shown the steroids are contraindicated in FIP but that does not stop their regular use.
So the FDA can rest assured that even where the drug is contraindicdated, the remedy does not "interfere" with it.
Sadly that interference is not there however hard we try to put it there. The drug wins in effect, every time.
Based on?
Is the FDA upset that healing occurs?
(A rhetorical question; healing is not profitable to drug companies, just to the nation overall.)
Namaste,
Irene
