Thuja & Pregnancy
Posted: Thu Oct 10, 2002 3:14 pm
Dear Colleagues
Today I spoke Sheilagh Creasy - the bastion of Classical (Hn) Homoeopathy - on this issue.
(For those that do not know SC, Her grandmother was homoeopath and she was brought up with homoeopathy and has been practising for about 50 years. What she does not know about homoeopathy is not worth writing about! and she is STRICTLY Hahnemanian)
She said that her views have not changed and are based on a moral issue.
The issue is that when VF is working perfectly, if a foetus that is not perfect is formed, it is soon rejected.
[In fact a great number of pregnancies terminate naturally within 2 weeks of conception so the mother does not even suspect that she was pregnant.]
So the VF will do what it needs to do when working properly and not deranged by disease. So a moral decision needs to be taken by both the patient and homoeopath that as a result of prescribing Thuja an abortion MAY occur.
[Conversely - if the VF is strengthened by Thuja and there is nothing wrong with the foetus, then there is no reason to suspect that the foetus will be aborted.]
SC also gave a case that up on giving thuja, at 8 months some giant moles were passed.

Soroush
