Hello Again ...nother question?

Question:

Have any of you with mental problems ever dealt with homopathic medicine. I was going to consult one since the meds dont seem to work for my OCD seem to make it worse, if that is possible. She the ND said that they had to run tests to see if I had food allergies or metal in my body? Yes I am nuts but are these type of remedies ever been tried by any of you with OCD? Thank you

Answers:
Homeopathic medicine is not usually dangerous, but it is a waste of time, energy, and money, because many of their "medicines" are so diluted that you could probably get just as much if not more of the active ingredient by drinking mineral water. Their meds are not regulated, so you don't have any assurances that they're safe. Any "cures" they claim are probably from the placebo effect. Naturopathic medicine can be dangerous if you are also taking mainstream medications prescribed by your mainstream doctor, because interactions can occur. You would need to tell your mainstream doctor about your wish to add naturopathic meds.

If your current meds are not working, go back to the doctor. If he is not a specialist ask to be referred to one, or at least ask to try a different combination of meds.

Just don't do it. I have OCD and am a medical student and I would NEVER every try those meds. They interfere with conventional meds and the factories that produce these drugs don't have quality control.

we have done studies of homeopathic 'doctors' where drugs they were handing out had anywhere between 0mg and 100mg of the active ingredient. THis is hugely dangerous.

Of course they will deny it if you ask them.
