Does Homeopathy Cause Death?

Homeopathy has gone through a lot of issues this year after Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has decided to review the regulations being implemented in this practice in response to complaints on what seems a loose policy on the approved homeopathic treatments. From being undermined by the founder of Wikipedia, to a losing battle on petitions, to being a laughing stock of the society as mere placebo, homeopathy has been doubted in its effectiveness. 2015 holds the lowest number of patients for homeopathy ever since it has been founded 200 years ago.

While all the issues were faced with a smirk, one topic is no laughing matter to both pro- and anti-homeopathy: claims of death caused by one homeopathic treatment or another.

In the past reviews of homeopathy written previously in the Peterson Group, homeopathy claims to be safer than clinical medicines and cannot, in any means, take a life. However, this claim has been faced with arguments and complaints from families of patients who now lay at rest in coffins.

As cynics have emphasized, homeopathic medicines are placebo. The effects may be a hallucination and you may have thought that you have been cured but the treatment given is created with the real ingredients, some of which composes elements which are hazardous to human health.

In another review written by the Peterson Group entitled, ‘Challenges in Preparing Homeopathic Medicines’, it is said that preparation of each homeopathic medicine requires proper observation of its intricacies and that “…Safety issues may arise if these preparations are neglected”. This in itself is being pointed out by critics to a proof that homeopathy can indeed lead to worse cases including death.

In an unfortunate account in Jakarta, Indonesia, a mother of a ten-year old boy suffering from pneumonia was arrested after she applied homeopathic treatment to her son by herself leading to the young boy’s death. According to reports, the treatment, which contains a huge amount of sulfur – a common ingredient used in homeopathy –, has poisoned the young boy only a few minutes after taking them.

A few campaigns against the practice are now being conducted by eager advocated of allopathy. One demonstrator said, “Given there is no demonstrable medical effect from using homeopathy, I’ve argued strongly that the sale of homeopathy in pharmacies is not only misleading to consumers, it is fundamentally unethical behavior from a health professional”.

Is there any cure for Nose Bleed?

Most of us have experienced nose bleed at least once in our lifetime. It may have been caused by different factors. Kids, because of ruthlessness, are often victims of nose bleeds. Nevertheless, it is not a laughing matter. The nose is one of the vital parts of our face and is very rich with blood vessel. It is also positioned in a very vulnerable location which is prone to accidents and is considered the center of the T-Zone which, when damaged, can lead to a very serious injury.

According to reviews, nose bleed may be caused by:

• Trauma to the nose (nose picking, foreign bodies, forceful nose blowing).

• Drying of the nasal membranes which is the most common cause

• Tumors, particularly malignant tumor of the nose or sinuses.

• Cold winter months

• Too humid temperature

• Use of “blood thinning medications” called anti coagulants.

• Recurrent nosebleeds may be a symptom of an underlying disorder such as high blood pressure.

• Inflammation of the nose or sinuses and cold may cause a nose bleed.

• Deviated septum (when the partition between your nose is crooked), foreign objects in the nose, or other nasal obstruction may also cause nosebleeds.

Any person who experiences these warnings should immediately seek medical assistance. First aid procedures include tilting of the patient’s body forward with the mouth wide open so they can spit the blood instead of swallowing it.

On the other hand, for those who do not want nose bleed to recur, homeopathy has the right treatments for you. The Peterson Group, your leading source of information on alternative, complementary and integrative medicines, has the following suggestions on how to cure your nose bleed problems:

• Agaricus Muscarius

Nosebleed can also happen among middle-aged to old people. Some of us are also use to blowing our nose every morning immediately after rising up or while washing up which can irritate our nose. Profuse bleeding may follow. In this case, agaricus muscarius can lessen the irritation

• Aloe Soctrina

Our nose can be greatly affected on extreme cold temperatures. An intake of aloe soctrina can lessen blood loss during winter weathers

• Ammonium carbonicum

Epistaxis is a common complaint in humid weather causing sinusitis and severe sneezing especially in tropical climates. In Jakarta, Indonesia and Brunei, almost 22% of the population experiences nosebleed during summer. Ammonoum Carbonicum strengthens the immune system in fighting off effects of a humid temperature.
