Q: Is homeopathy slow-acting, or can it be used to treat acute diseases?
A: Homeopathy is not inherently slow in its action and can effectively treat acute conditions. The speed of response depends on factors such as the duration of the illness, the patient's reactivity, past medical history, and other coexisting conditions. If the homeopathic physician identifies the Similimum (the most appropriate remedy for the specific disease), the response can be very rapid. Homeopathy works by stimulating the body's natural defences to combat the pathogen causing the disease rather than directly killing it, and it can be used alongside conventional medicine.

Q: Are homeopathic medicines just placebos?
A: No, homeopathic medicines are not placebos. Although all homeopathic remedies may look and taste similar, their effects are distinct. Recent research by experts like Dr.Shantaram Kane, Dr. Jayesh Bellare, Prof. A.R. Khudabukhsh, and Prof. E.S. Rajendran, using nanotechnology, has shown unique crystal formations with different remedies and even different potencies.

... Q: Do homeopathic medicines contain steroids?
A: Homeopathic medicines do not contain steroids. The commonly used Lieberman-Burchard test, which is a colorimetric test involving Tetrazolium Blue, can give a false positive due to the sugars and ethyl alcohol used as a base in homeopathic preparations. However, other tests such as thin-layer chromatography and UV absorption studies confirm that homeopathic remedies are free from steroids. Additionally, the long-term use of steroids can cause noticeable physical changes like moon facies, weight gain, excessive body hair, osteoporosis, and diabetes, which are not observed with homeopathic treatments.

Q: Is it safe to prescribe homeopathy based on information found on the internet?
