naturopathy

[deagar]

My son began a naturopathy prescription of various drops etc a couple months ago. The only tic he has currently is what I guess you would call more of neck snapping. He did start this prior to the drops but I think they have increased. I read some place that tics may increase before they get better with a naturopathy routine. If that is the case, is there a time period that I could hope things would be getting better if this is working at all? Or at what point do I say this isn't doing anything and stop? It is quite costly and time comsuming but I want to give it a shot just incase it will help. I also just started a B complex vitamin. Would that increase tics at all in the beginning? Thanks - Deanna

hi Deanna

yes, things can sometimes get worse before they start to get better with any kind of treatment

 

when you refer to drops..........are these homeopathic remedies?? If so, it may be indicative of a wrong constitutional remedy OR it could be that the remedy is "bringing out" the tics in order to begin the healing process.......... either way, you should notify the homeopath. Homeopathy works in a very distinctive way and is unique.

 

Not all naturopaths are homeopaths........so it is real important to distinguish whether this is naturopathy or homeopathy

Chemer:

She is working with some homeopath and some naturopath remedies. We have been using Gemmo products which I think are homeopath and Unda which are naturopath. So she uses both. She said not to be concerned with his tics but I don't know how much confidence I have with this yet. She has had experience with tics and patients but not Tourettes. I still don't know where my son falls with diagnoses at this point. She was unaware of Pandas and although we still don't know if my son has that, his tics did come back after a strep exposure and previous to that, they were almost non-existent for sometime. It was also spring time when things happened also so the allergens in the air could have something to do with his tics. He also grew over 3 inches last year so can growth spurts have anything to do with increase in tics...he just turned 8. Thanks - Deanna

Once again, is there a certain amount of time I should be giving this method before I rule it out as an option. I think it is too early now since it has only been a couple months but when is it time to call it quits?

only your homeopath can answer this as different remdies take different lengths of time to work

 

with the supplement program, it is more finite and one usually expects to see results within 2-3 weeks or sooner

 

with homeopathy it can take a lot longer because it works on a totally different principle of healing than supplemting nutritional deficiencies and eliminating irritants to the system
