Doctor; I have "XYZ" disease and can you please tell me how long it will take to cure my condition? The answer in homeopathy is always "it depends".  There are many facets that affect the rate of cure, that is what this post addresses. Many people tend to put off seeking help when their symptoms are mild and at a managable level, and usually only go and seek a therapist as a last ditch effort or when the disease symptoms have progressed to an advanced level. When this phase is reached healing takes a tremendous effort. This isn't right or wrong on the patients part, but rather human nature. There are other factors that affect speed of cure, they are:

1.)

In homeopathy, the rule of thumb is for ever year the person has had the chronic condition, it takes one month of homeopathic treatment to cure it.  So if someone has had diabetes for twelve years it will take twelve months for it to heal.

What patients really want to know is how long it will take to feel better, this is more important to them than the cure, but the assumption is they will only be pain free once the condition is completely cured.  This isn't true, the truth is this, patients can expect to feel better quickly, but complete cure takes time. So put another way: patients will feel better sooner rather than later, and expect complete cure later rather than sooner. In my experience patients need to be prepared to spend at least six months with a health professional for a serious condition, and be realistic that healing takes time.
