Question by angrydoc: I have a question for Soul Doctor regarding homeopathy.?
In a previous Q&A here in Y! Answers, you said that:

“Well to put it in short it (homeopathy) triggers your own immune system with diluted amount of remedies which are mostly derived from toxic materials which help your body to cure itself,”

My question is, with all due respect, how does it do that exactly? Does it trigger the activation of B-cells and/or T-cells? What cell surface receptors and intracellular messenger molecules are involved in this process? What about diseases that don’t mess with the immune system such as diabetes, arthritis, heart disease, liver disease, etc etc. The pathologies of such diseases do not involve the immune system so how is “triggering” your immune system going to help you there?
Edit: Add Rhianna’s questions to mine.
Thank you for all the answers. So far, no one has given me what I am asking for: a biochemical/molecular explanation for the “effects” of homeopathy. Instead, I get stuff about quantum physics, electromagnetism and a conspiracy theory.

Answer by Rhianna Returns
Yes can I add to this please AngryDoc?
SoulDoc: Wouldn’t the theory of homoeopathy blindly ‘triggering the immune system’ actually create problems like auto-immune diseases?

IF homoeopathy somehow triggered the immune system, might this create an inflammatory response? If you take into consideration the fact that many of the symptoms of a disease are actually the product of your own immune system fighting the disease….

Perhaps rather than boosted or triggered, our immune system needs to be more specific?

Certainly with certain types of diseases, vaccines are surely the best way to make the immune response more specific? Adjuvants for example, can be made specific for cell types, e.g B-cells or T-cells. Some vaccines that are being created also contain lipid-micelle based delivery systems which deliver the antigen in a more specific way to target cells.

When you say that homoeopathy triggers or boosts the immune system, what part of it exactly?

Question by Niko_mkvli: Question for raw feeding/holistic health dog owners?
For those of you that prefer feeding your dogs a raw diet and/or employing holistic or homeopathic health care methods for them, do you find you’re more aware also of your own diet and health? I’ve noticed a correlation lately between people who are very knowledgeable about their dogs diet and health, are also very knowledgeable about their own own diet and health.

HA HA HA actually no. Everyone I know that does a raw diet eats horridly themselves. Dogs eat better than they do. I even know people who will buy expensive food for the dog and the cheap crap for themselves.

i have for quite some time now had very low energy and have been really tired. a friend of mine, who is into homeopathic remedies told me about a home remedy that is “proven” to increase energy and help you sleep better at night so you wont be as tired in the daytime. they said i need to do a RPE, red pepper enema. she explained that this somehow rids your body of toxins that cause low energy. do you think this is harmful in any way? has anyone ever tried this? id like to hear some feedback before i go for it..thanks alot

I have an inverted bob so my hair is really short. It’s naturally blonde, has a slight curl, and many products can leave it looking oily. I always blow dry, and use a flat iron when I have time – which usually takes care of my problem.

But with the humidity, my hair gets curlier than usual, and can make it frizzy looking. I’m afraid to waste money on products that won’t help, or that will make my hair look greasy…

What products do you suggest for my problem?

I am scheduled to go to the dentist on July 2 for a root canal. I went in 3 wks ago and had it opened so the infection could drain. I also started taking Pennicillinum for the infection, which is homeopathic Pennacillin. So, I have been on the homeopathic Pennecillinum for over 2 wks and am going to take it until my apmt. I noticed today that my tooth was a little sensitive again…a slight dull aching pain that barely is noticeable. It’s also just a tiny bit sensitive to the touch above that tooth. I am just concerned and I have a few questions. Could a homeopath please advise?

1. Will the Pennicillinum keep working like pharmacutical brands until my apmt?

2. Will rinsing with salt water eventually pull out the bacteria or kill the bacteria that is in the tooth still?

3. Dentists: Is it all the time necessary to crown a laderal tooth?

Thank you for your help.
If I have to, I do have pharmacutical pennacillin if I have to take it but I was trying to avoid that.
