Weight Problems and Arthritis Helped with Homeopathy
Beth was a 48 year old woman who came to see me with flu-like symptoms. For a couple of weeks she had been tired, aching and felt hot and foggy in the head. She said she was barely able to drag herself through each day. As I asked some other questions about her overall state of health I found that Beth also had chronic arthritic problems. She was under the care of a chiropractor who had said that recent X-rays showed her lumbar spine was “crumbling”. On occasions pain would shoot from her spine down both her legs making it impossible to move.
Her knee had dislocated following a fall some ten years earlier and had since required reconstructive surgery. There was no longer any cartilage left and she would have episodes of burning pain that felt as if a red-hot poker had been thrust into her knee. At these times, electric-like pains could also shoot between her spine and toes. The pain was always worse at night and Beth said that at times it became so bad that she would thrash about the bed with it.
Beth also had cervical spondylitis – a condition where the bones in the neck are inflamed, causing pain and stiffness. Every month or so, this spondylitis would trigger a migraine that would force Beth to bed. At these times her face would redden with the pain and her head would perspire. Beth’s weight was also a concern. Since marrying in her 20’s it had progressively increased and she now weighed 93kgs. She would be completely disinterested in food in the morning and so would never have breakfast. From 11am, her appetite would return and the eating would begin – curries were a favourite.
Beth also complained about suffering with heartburn from coffee, bloating from greasy food, belching that had a strong ‘eggy’ or sulphurous smell, a craving for carbohydrates, a strong smell to her urine (Beth likened it to the smell of cat’s urine) and waking frequently at night. When somebody is in a state of imbalance, changes occur not only in person’s physical body but also in the area of the mind and emotions. As a consequence, I was also interested to hear that Beth was prone to explosive anger and had a pronounced fear of snakes.
Intriguingly, Beth had a history of being allergic to crude Sulphur – the very substance that finally alleviated her above symptoms when given to her in dilute homeopathic potencies. Within two days of taking her first dose, all of Beth’s flu-like symptoms had resolved. With ongoing treatment over the following months Beth’s other symptoms also improved. Her urine no longer had a pungent smell, the anger reduced her energy increased, and Beth developed a healthy craving for salads after previously having preferred high carbohydrate foods and oily curries. Today, she weighs a healthy 72kg and takes an occasional dose of Sulphur (about every six weeks) when her arthritic pains return or become troublesome.
Scientific Study on using Homeopathic HCG for Weight Loss
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this case report is to describe the changes in body weight and biochemical markers in a patient who completed a homeopathic human chorionic gonadotropin protocol.
CASE REPORT: A 52-year-old man reported to an integrative medical center (including chiropractic and osteopathic physicians) for chronic low back pain. The patient reported a 20-year history of chronic, episodic low back pain. A course of spinal manipulative therapy was delivered; however, because of the lack of resolution of symptoms, a radiographic examination was performed, the result of which was essentially normal. Laboratory studies demonstrated hypercholesterolemia, hyperlipidemia, uricemia, and elevated blood glucose. A dietary change in treatment approach was selected.
INTERVENTION AND OUTCOME: The patient was instructed to take 10 drops of a homeopathic human chorionic gonadotropin product under the tongue 5 times daily. His total daily energy (calorie) was limited for the first 30 days of the program while on the homeopathic product. After 4 months, the patient lost a total of 71 lb, pain and disability scores improved, and reductions in serum cardiovascular markers were noted.
CONCLUSION: The findings of this study showed that weight loss seemed to affect the patient’s chronic low back pain and cardiovascular risk factors.
Scientific Study: Homeopathy and Nutrition for Weight Loss
Abstract
Evaluate the influence of using a nutritional treatment accompanied by a homeopathic treatment for weight reduction. A prospective comparative quasi-experimental study was conducted, in 30 people with obesity or overweight who were subjected to a nutritional treatment accompanied by a homeopathic treatment and a control group integrated by 30 people who were subjected to an exclusive nutritional treatment. The sampling method was probability, randomizing subject types. When comparing the weight loss to the difference of the initial weight and final weight registered in both groups, it was found that in the group which had a unique nutritional treatment, the average weight loss was 0.776 kg with a standard deviation equal to 0.910, while in the group that received a nutritional treatment accompanied by homeopathy the result was 2.257 kg with a standard deviation of 1.625. Through an analysis of mean difference concerning theweight loss, the group with nutritional treatment and the group with nutritional treatmentand homeopathy obtained a P=0.000, because the value is < 0.05 there is a significant difference, detecting that the loss of weight was greater in the group of nutritional treatment complimented with homeopathic treatment, but when comparing the BMI there is no significant difference detected since the p= 0.497 is > 0.05 The use of a homeopathic treatment accompanied by a nutritional treatment has better results in the reduction of weight.
Research Papers: Homeopathy for Weight Loss and Obesity
Abstract
In today’s world due to irregular daily routine, more and more people are becoming obese. In recent
study conducted in NCR it was found that Obesity has affected many people in and many of them are
struggling to overcome it. Sorry to say, there is no such thing as a “wonder medication” for losing

age group patients we have found that homeopathy can help in weight loss. In this paper we have
presented our finding as how homeopathy is efficient in weight loss.
Abstract
Abstract Background: Obesity is a burgeoning public health challenge across the world. It doubly affects the developing countries that are burdened with the communicable and vector borne diseases, and further predisposes them to many non-communicable diseases. Homoeopathic management of obesity along with lifestyle alteration is being researched to study the effectiveness of homoeopathic drugs, which has been discussed in this review. Objective: To review the literature of published studies relating to homeopathic management of obesity. Materials and methods: A comprehensive search from major biomedical databases including National Medical Library (PubMed), Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, Science Direct and AMED was conducted using the search term ‘obesity’, ‘weight loss’, along with ‘homoeopathy’, and ‘homeopathy’. Results: Sixteen papers relating to obesity management using homoeopathy were identified. Out of seventeen papers, six were randomized controlled trials, two were quasi experimental studies, one was case report, one was case series, four were preclinical studies, one paper was review article and one was systematic analysis of randomized controlled trials of homoeopathy in obesity. Conclusion: Various studies showed the efficacy of homoeopathic medicines in the management of obesity and other symptoms related to obesity especially when individualized constitutional homoeopathic medicine was prescribed. Further research through prospective observation and randomized controlled trials with individualized homoeopathic medication is warranted to strongly support the effectiveness of homoeopathic medicines in the management of obesity.
