Withdrawal of Medicines
Posted: Fri May 14, 2004 10:19 am
Dear Fatima
This is indeed a subject that requires great care.
Firstly there should be clear understanding of the situation by:
The patient
The person who prescribed the medicine to be withdrawn and (S/he must give
permission or leave it to the patient to decide) (See SoH code of Ethics)
The homoeopath.
Lines of responsibility must be clear and you should have a plan B just in
case things take a turn for the worse.
My recommendation is that some medicines should be removed when you as the
homoeopath are absolutely sure that the remedy prescribed is holding the
case and in fact the medicine is acting as a block to cure.
Now as to withdrawal itself.
If the medicine is a fluid, use a graduated syringe to carefully measure the
amount and slowly reduce it by the smallest measurable fraction on a daily
basis.
If it is a tablet,
then dedicate a NEW metal nail file for this task.
After it has been washed for first use, then the tablet should be scrapped
against it once on day one (dose 1) and twice on day two (or dose 2) and so
on.
Both will allow the body to adjust slowly to the withdrawal of allopathic
medicine.
Some GPs drop by whole or half tablets - do not go along this course as I
have personally seen bad results when this has been done and the blame can
then be put on the homoeopath!!
Good luck

Hello every one,
I am looking for any information or helpful web site regarding substitutes
and withdrawal medicines in safest way possible i.e. HRT, Insulin, cortisone
and so on. I do have Materia Medica of new Homoeopathic Remedies by O. A.
Julian.
Any information would be appreciated.
Many thanks,
Fatima
