Many of these questions are answered in detail in the book. We have compiled these summaries for your convenience.

How often will I need to see my homeopath?
When first starting homeopathic treatment, visits are usually scheduled every five to eight weeks. After you or your child has responded well to treatment, your homeopath may only need to see you or your child two to three times a year to help you stay as healthy as possible and prevent future illness.

How often will the homeopathic medicine be given? Homeopathic medicines may be given in single doses, in which case the medicine will only be repeated or changed when symptoms arise. As long as you are responding well to the medicine you have been given, your homeopath will wait and let the healing process that has already begun continue to proceed. The medicines are also commonly prescribed on a daily or weekly basis. If you have been given a daily dose of homeopathic medicine, your homeopath may ask you to continue taking the medicine for weeks or months.

What is the difference between taking a single homeopathic medicine and the combination homeopathic medicines that I have seen in my health food store?
There is only one homeopathic medicine at any point in time that will have the most dramatic effect on your healing. A trained and experienced homeopathic practitioner seeks to find that one specific medicine that most closely matches your symptoms. This exact or close match can produce profound and lasting healing. Combination medicines contain a variety of common homeopathic substances that have been found useful for such conditions as colds, flus, and sore throats. If the one medicine that you need is contained in that combination, you will respond well. If not, you will have no response or a partial response to the medicine. Combination medicines should only be used for acute conditions when no qualified homeopath is available but should never be used for chronic or recurring conditions such as ADD and the other conditions mentioned in this book. The same is true of chronic physical ailments such as asthma, headaches, eczema, and arthritis. For such conditions, find a trained homeopath and you will be much more likely to be relieved of your suffering.
