Excellent Quality Calcarea Carbonica–Using It To Treat My Dog's Food Allergies & It WORKS
Homeopathic remedies are an unusual approach to medicine, but, in my experience, they actually work. I had the good fortune as a youngster to be treated by a German Quaker doctor who used nothing but homeopathic remedies and I think I owe him a debt of gratitude for my excellent overall health almost 5 decades later. Of course, that's just my own biased opinion (throwing that in there for all the future commenters who will decide to deride me for believing in "magic medicine.") Homeopathy "works" by addressing illnesses by treating them by their CAUSES. In other words, they'll use something like an allergen (like histamine, for example), to treat allergies, under the theory that "like cures like." There are several books here on Amazon that can teach you more. Modern scientific theory would support that this theory COULD work by activating specific T-cells in the immune system, but that's for science to prove, not me. I've been using this calcarea carbonica remedy for our white lab, who has been suffering from a virtually "untreatable" body fungus that the vets addressed by making worse (prescribing antibiotics). I decided to take charge & go back to what I know & I'm happy to say our lab's gradually recovering from her illness, thanks to this "old fashioned" medicine. I give her 5 pellets, twice a day, in a tiny dab of cream cheese (humans would simply slowly melt the tiny pellets under their tongues, but though my dog's smart, she's not THAT smart). I combine this remedy (calcarea carbonica) with histaminum hydrochloricum (for allergic symptoms) when itching/scratching is a problem. I also periodically give her a little urtica urens as well (about once a week), just because it seems to help her. I'm also hedging our bets by helping her re-build her "good" gut bacteria with a probiotic supplement, as well (more a long-term cure approach to help her re-strengthen her immune system to fight the fungus more effectively). Boiron's a good, reliable brand. Just an FYI: dosages can be confusing to "newbies." Basically, a 6X would be for a mild condition, a 30X for a more chronic (long-lasting) condition, and a 200ck is for a very bad acute case (homeopathic remedies have "converse" reactions--less potency is represented by a larger number, but has a greater effect on the body. Don't ask me to explain why, for I don't understand it myself, other than it actually works). --- Have a question about this homeopathic remedy or this topic in general? Just leave a comment & I'll be happy to help you, if I can
