I am going to tell you some things that only homeopaths know, but I feel the layman needs to know.
 
The truth is homeopathy is, really, really, really, really....


                                                                                                            HARD!!

We have to research through hundreds of remedies to find the one and ONLY remedy that is going to cure someone. And I will tell you something even the best in the world have a 60-70 percent success rate. When we read their books, the BEST are always telling us how many remedies they have given someone before they find one that works. This is common. And of course they only tell us of their success stories not of their failures.

So patients need to understand this about the ART.

                                                            But who is going to see anyone with a success rate so low?

Well, homeopathy has super powers that no other modality can touch. So people are patient with their practitioners. And this is the way it should be.

I will also tell you a spiritual fact:

Those that are determined to get better very often do. So I do not believe in "blame the practitioner" line or "blame the modality line" that so many people resort to. I know myself, that I got better because I was determined. I had a homeopath, and he was good.

Some of the remedies he gave me really helped and others were DUDS.  But when the remedy works it's like............................MAGIC.

If you do your research and I have, you might discover what I have. Most patients that don't get better

1.) give up too soon
2.) have a poor attitude
3.) don't follow instructions
4.) don't believe they can get better
5.) aren't consistent with going to appointments
6.) they aren't "ready" to get better but GUILT tells them they should "try"

then they say TCM, homeopathy, massage, don't work.  I would say that the most common reasons for patient failure is number four, and six which drives laziness, inconsistency a host of other problems. Belief is a powerful thing and can over ride progress.

There is also another secret I need to tell people. The body heals only as fast as it can handle. Please remember that. There is nothing we can do to speed healing, this is up to the wisdom of the patients body to determine that.

So as crazy as it sounds before seeking any practitioner ask yourself the following questions:

1.) Am I TRULY ready to get better? IF not, ask why? You may just have a spiritual revelation.
2.) Do I truly believe I CAN get better at this time?

Many people use their illness to get out of the things in life they don't want to do. For most, it's their job. They go to a therapist to prove to all around them they are doing something about it, so nobody will "call"  them on it. But who are we fooling?

And there's no shame in hating your job, 80% of people in North America hate their job, And out of those 80%, 60% are too fearful to leave it.  Sad isn't it? So people create illness, because it's one of the socially acceptable avenues to take, without getting fired.

Hey, I have been there and done that, so no judgement here! I left my job, recently as a matter of fact!! Because I hated it, and was willing to live on the edge for a while in uncertaintly then go and hate every minute of my waking hours.

Hope this helps, and GO GERMANY!!  FIFA
