Merci cher Dr , vos videos sont tellement intéressantes et claires. Que la force vitale soit avec vous aussi !

[@AllThingsHomeopathy]

Merci d'avoir regardé ma vidéo, Karina!

[@rephaelhadary]

Thank you so much! I am waiting for the video on PSORINUM.🙏🙏🙏

[@AllThingsHomeopathy]

You’re welcome 👍

[@emilyjenkins7212]

I really love all your materia medica videos. They’ve been so helpful as a homeopathy student to reinforce or get a different slant on the remedies. Our entire class LOVES your videos and we would love more when you have time for them. They are invaluable. I have especially appreciated how you incorporate the written points alongside the verbal discussion. It makes note taking and retention much easier.

[@AllThingsHomeopathy]

Wow, your whole class watches! That makes me feel good because it makes me think that I'm reaching people out there in cyberland. I agree, the combination of audio, written, and graphics makes for a very effective learning tool. But please be patient because they are very time consuming to make. Best wishes!

[@rhiannonj16]

SiO2 silicon dioxide, living quartz, bamboo shoots have a bioavailable form. For weak nails and hair.

[@georgegarner5331]

Thank you Dr. Larry....I've been waiting on this video for awhile and you did not disappoint. I have ?, once you find the correct constitutional remedy, does it ever change or can you count on it being the remedy for your lifetime? Thank you and may the vital force be with you too!!!

[@AllThingsHomeopathy]

A true constitutional tends to remain a constitutional. However, life throws all kinds of curveballs at us. So, for example, Arnica is needed for an injury, another remedy for a flu, and another remedy may be needed for the loss of a close loved one.

[@georgegarner5331]

Thank you Dr. Larry......I love your videos and continue to learn and grow in this wonderful world of homeopathy.@@AllThingsHomeopathy

[@venkatachalapathibaskar5927]

Yet another wonderful and useful video...
Please say something about
'Biochemical Remedies' as all the 12 of them were also proved homeopathically...
Is there any difference in terms of use and effects whether they have been used as biochemic remedy or homeopathic remedy...

[@AllThingsHomeopathy]

The tissue salts are not different than other remedies and, in my opinion, should be used according to homeopathic principles. Their use as biochemic remedies is not homeopathy. It's just a gimmicky shortcut that does not follow basic homeopathic methodology.

[@turquoisebabies]

I have an important question whose answer seems to elude me.
I am curious about the like cures like tenet. For certain remedies it seems obvious, for example opium, stramonium, lycopodium, anacardium, silicea, Nat Mur, Apis. In those I can clearly see either a symbolic representation of the like cures like or that they are " a substance that causes a certain set of symptoms in a healthy person will have a curative effect when given to a sick person who is displaying similar symptoms".
But in other remedies like chamomilla, ruta, valerian , it seems the tenet doesn't hold as they produce similar effects homeopathically as they would if the plant itself was ingested (unlike stram for instance). Ingesting chamomile tea does not produce restlessness, irritability or pain, even though the homeo remedy alleviates those symptoms.
Whereas Coffea, does follow the like cures like concept. Ingesting coffee beans does mirror the effects that the homeopathic treatment with coffea would relieve.
I would be very grateful to better understand this! Thank you.

[@AllThingsHomeopathy]

That's a very good question. Some information about remedies comes from common experience, like an Opium high or a bee sting. Some comes from toxicology reports, like the effects of arsenic poisoning. This represents the gross patho-physiological information regarding a substance. But most of the materia medica derives from the much more subtle information that comes from provings. Provings bring out very fine details that would not otherwise be recognized, especially in terms of mental-emotional symptomatology. Provings elicit the effects that substances can have on a deeper energetic level. Furthermore, there is a conventional science called "hormesis" which studies the dose-dependent effects of various substances. Hormesis has discovered something that homeopathy has known for 200 years, which is that a substance like an antibiotic, for example, will kill bacteria when given in large quantities, will inhibit bacteria when given in medium doses, and can paradoxically stimulate the development of bacteria when exposed to very small doses. So the effect is dependent upon the quantity involved. This is why Digitalis, for example, can kill if taken in large doses, can suppress an arrhythmia when taken in just the right amount, and can cure an arrhythmia when taken in its energetic homeopathic form. Cheers!

[@turquoisebabies]

@@AllThingsHomeopathy Thank you very much for taking the time to respond, Dr Malerba. If I understand correctly then, the "like cures like" tenet is not always applicable? For example coffeea is "like cures like" in that coffee beans mimick the symptoms one wishes to cure with the remedy, whereas chamomilla does not?

[@AllThingsHomeopathy]

No, it IS applicable. An occasional cup of Chamomile tea can be soothing. But too much Chamomile can result in great anger and irritability. In homeopathic doses, it will reverse all Chamomile-like problems. The effect is dose-dependent. @@turquoisebabies

[@tara1638]

I am so so glad I found you! Do you have any of these in pdf?

[@venkatachalapathibaskar5927]

Yet another gem...!
Can this be useful for osteo arthritis...?

[@AllThingsHomeopathy]

Certainly, but so can many other remedies, too. The trick is to determine the correct remedy.

[@HHughes]

In today's world is 6x or 12x potency of silica safe with so many individuals having dental implant, screws for broken bones , and lenses after cataract surgery, since silica is used for expulsion of spinners and even glass. Have read a # of contradictory comments in all of my books. Thanks!!

[@AllThingsHomeopathy]

That's a good question, and I'm not sure I know the correct answer. On the other hand, unless a person fits the constitutional profile of Silicea and it works really well for them, there shouldn't be any need to be taking Silicea anyway.

[@HHughes]

@@AllThingsHomeopathy Thanks!!! You do a Fantastic job of summarizing

[@luannesomers5167]

My daughter was a Silica constitution as a child, developed a brainstem tumor as a teen and has lived 13 yrs with it. Past seven months were life and death, especially after radiation which almost killed her. She is on a G tube now. As she recovers, she is fitting the Silica picture again. I don't believe she can go back to her childhood remedy of Silica. Is that correct?

[@AllThingsHomeopathy]

I'm very sorry to hear about your daughter. I recommend you get homeopathic advice from someone with whom you are aquainted and who you have placed in charge of your daughter's care. Best wishes.

[@millie3657]

Great videos!! Thank you Dr Larry. From your experience, is silica in high potecies (such as 1M+) safe for a patient with a dental implant? Is there a danger of the implant being expelled? Or more likely in lower potencies?

[@AllThingsHomeopathy]

It's possible that taking Silicea too frequently could dislodge any foreign body. Best to be safe and receive care from a professional.

[@MaryJones-fs4wf]

Do you have these Series in a book?

[@tara1638]

I gave this to a friend who sweats excessively. It’s like she’s walking in a puddle. It helped almost immediately. My question is how long or often should she take it?

[@AllThingsHomeopathy]

I'm sorry. It would not be appropriate for me to dispense medical advice online like this. I recommend you consult a qualified practitioner.

[@gouravsaneja]

Great video Doctor 🙏🙏
Is there any way i can contact you? Please 🙏 🙏

[@rainbow.magic.]

Would you think silicea would have tp do with keloid scars? My daughter is a silicea girl. Her hair isnt growing (2) and she put he rtooth through her lip a week ago and the scar is turning keloid. She also had a tear trough blockage when she was a baby.

[@AllThingsHomeopathy]

It would not be appropriate for me to give medical advice regarding your daughter, but Silicea is one among several remedies known to be able to prevent keloids.

[@leslied125]

IF someone chose this as a remedy, you indicated it could take weeks or months to see improvement. Theoretically speaking (and not medical advice), would this be administered once a day or once a week?

[@AllThingsHomeopathy]

One could see improvement within days or even hours. It would be more accurate to say that it could take weeks or months to manifest its FULL benefit. That's why it's important to wait between doses. I recommend you watch my videos on potency and dosing. And I never recommend self treatment for any chronic condition.

[@aw_bhatti_jatt_hoshiarpuria]

Are they religious & how much ???

[@AllThingsHomeopathy]

Not necessarily, but it's possible. It depends on the totality of the case.

[@aw_bhatti_jatt_hoshiarpuria]

@AllThingsHomeopathy yes but mostly i have seen them on religious side .

[@AllThingsHomeopathy]

@@aw_bhatti_jatt_hoshiarpuria yes but, I said it’s possible, besides, you’ve just answered your own question

[@turquoisebabies]

Have you ever seen silicea being relevant for a short thicker person ?

[@AllThingsHomeopathy]

It never makes sense to rule out a remedy based upon one symptom or one characteristic.
