What Homeopathy Can’t Do

The things that homeopathy can’t do are in the field of replacement therapies.

1. If someone’s pancreas is dead or so defective that it doesn’t work, then homoeopaths can stimulate what little part of it is alive, but it can’t bring back a lost organ.

2. If the joints in old people have been so eroded and damaged by osteoarthritis or similar complaints, then the regeneration is so slow as to be of almost no benefit at all to the patient.

3. Homeopathy will not work in cases where people are persisting in being exposed to an adverse environment – a situation where there are fumes, or strains of one kind or another that are imposed on them and are affecting their health.

4. Homeopathy, and in fact all systems of medicine will fail if someone’s diet is radically deficient or disordered. When a person’s defective diet is deficient in vitamins, sometimes it is possible for homeopathic medicines to so stimulate that person that they don’t require the massive intake of vitamins that they did before homeopathic treatment.

5. If someone’s emotional environment is bad, homeopathy and orthodox medicine can do very little.

6. In cases of mongolism, homeopathy can’t restore the lost or defective chromosomes, but can do great things in restoring what can be restored.

7. If someone is suffering from a literally incurable disease, then homeopathy is not helpless – it can palliate, can remove the pain even of tumors and that sort of thing, every bit as effectively as opiates could.

8. In the case of gross accidents, homeopathy can’t restore broken bones without proper setting in plaster, or close up wounds without stitching, and if someone has drunk a cupful of weedkiller then the orthodox treatment is appropriate. Afterwards, after the wound has been stitched, the bone set, the stomach pumped then homeopathic medicines can come into play. Desperate conditions need desperate medicines, in certain circumstances.
