    Simply want to say your article is as amazing. The clearness in your post is
    just great and i can assume you are an expert on this subject.
    Well with your permission let me to grab your feed to keep updated with forthcoming post.
    Thanks a million and please continue the enjoyable work.

  3. Dear Ramachandrababu,
    Thank you for introducing yourself. I was introduced to homeopath from an excellent introductory book I read 35 years ago, but unfortunately I do not remember the title.

    Please visit Homeopathic Educational Services. They have an excellent catalog from which you can select books on homeopathy. Their website is: homeopathic.com.

    You can also talk to Dana Ullman, the owner of that company, and he can make recommendations to you.

    Amy Lansky’s book, “Impossible Cures” explains homeopathy very well.

    I wish you all the best.

    In love and service,

    Sir,
    I am V Ramachandrababu, aged 41 years living in India. Working as Asst. Professor of English in Sree vidyanikethan Engineering College, Tirupati, AndhraPradesh, India.

    Browsed your website. Its authentic

    Want to know which is the best book to start for homeopathy.

  4. Dear Vin,
    Thank you for your blog comment. The approach of the homeopath you are working with is not a classical homeopathic approach, because he or she is using three remedies in high potencies rather than one remedy at a time and repeating way way way too frequently. Please read the article on this website entitled How To Take Homeopathic Remedies.

    My suggestion is to discontinue all of the remedies you are taking. If stomach symptoms are not usual for you, you can be having a side effect from any of these remedies and we do not know which. So please stop what you are doing, and take a break from any remedies for two months, then work with a homeopath who does classical homeopathy, and can take your case at that point.

    I hope you feel better soon.

    In love and service,

    Deborah Olenev CCH RSHom (NA)

    I just started taking 5 drops of the following medicines twice to thrice a day, as prescribed by a Homepatthic Doctor, for back pain and plantar faciitis:

    1. Coloncynthis 200ch
    2. Rhus Toxicodendron 200ch
    3. Calcarea Fluorica 200ch

    My stomach is upset and I have to use the bathroom three times or more a day. I read about these medicines online, not sure if Rhus might be causing this? Please advise.

    thank you,

    Vine
