So part of what the woman’s remedy was was obviously something to do with infertility, but there’s lots more.

Like, Nux Vomica’s good for hangovers, but the remedy type is bloated business men who have boozy lunches and eat overly rich restaurant food too much :)

“I’ve cured your tennis elbow. Oh, and I’ve also made you fertile and re-grown the appendix you had removed when you were ten.”

I feel quite miraculous, that I am able to heal myself to such a degree.

Both the infertile women she treated had long given up trying for babies – one was far from pleased to get pregnant, she hadn’t come specifically due to her infertility.

Does it work though or do things get better and women get pregnant on their own, whether or not the gullible take their snake oils? Not to mention the placebo effect.

Not saying conventional medicine is the be all and end all – first thing you learn in pharmacology is that patients often get better despite their medication rather than because of it.

I’ll admit the premise takes a bit of a leap of faith – you’re dealing with essence, not substance.

But I’ve used it since I was a kid – haven’t been to a gp since my earrings got infected when I was 12 – I use it for my family and have seen hay fever dispelled for good, high fevers down in under an hour, bruising stopped, sore throats abated, bones knit faster, splinters pushed out, all sorts of pregnancy issues sorted, sinus headaches gone, vomiting stopped, mastitis cured, on and on.

My mother was a homoeopath, she helped infertile people get pregnant, had an MS patient go from crutches to running again, had an epilepsy patient cut their drugs by a quarter, lots of serious achievement.

I don’t care if it sounds hard to accept, it works for me.
