The Wonders of Homoeopathy


Today we went out to a clinic where many of the patients had been at least once, so we could see how they have been helped.

The clinic was in another poor part of town, in a room with sofas and comfy chairs – luxury!  There was even mosquito netting on the windows and door. But before you think that we are living the high life, the toilet (yes, we asked in swahili... well had a bash at asking) was the usual hole in the ground and the heat was as intense as ever. However I have my health and plenty of bottled water, and my friend has hand wipes which she is kind enough to share, so I have no complaints.

Here are a few stories.

One lady who was HIV positive had had all her possessions taken from her, by her husband’s family, when her husband died of AIDS – this is something that happens. She was not taking any drugs for the AIDS as she had wanted to die; she had also been considering taking poison for herself and her children. She had been given a remedy and her symptoms reduced, the remedy was then repeated and her mood and pain symptoms improved a great deal. She told us that now she has been getting work again, enabling her to feed her two children.

Another lady was seen, who last time had to be helped due to lack of energy and the fact that she was trembling all over. This time she walked in by herself and seemed fairly cheerful. She had had malaria, severe night sweats, weakness all over with trembling and was urinating copiously throughout the night. All these symptoms had gone or improved – hard to believe that she had had to be helped in before! She said that now her biggest worry was that she needed to put on more weight. She was given a remedy to help.

We made a home visit to a lady who had been seen before as she was paralysed and crying wildly. This had all come on when she was told that she was HIV positive. This is often a response to the bad news. Today she was able to come outside the house with help (no room inside for so many homeopaths – even though we had given up the laptops by then). It was also clear that she was no longer so terribly distressed, although we could see that now she was fairly unresponsive so there is still some way to go. Nevertheless her husband said that her memory is starting to return (it had gone completely) and she smiled and waved at us as we left, having given her a remedy that should hopefully help her in this state.

I hope that I have described these well because to sit here and hear these people’s stories then see how they are after some homeopathy is truly amazing.
