Post #7 in a 7-part series

7) Is it OK or recommended to take ____________ with the remedy?

If ______________ is a suppressive medication - which basically means anything with the prefix anti - or if you notice yourself having any discernible response to it another food, drug, environment, emotional influence, etc. (essentially ___________ could be anything!), please consider the following. 

The only situation I hypothesize in which it would be an OK idea to take a suppressive medication is where the healing process has been stimulated to occur, but is occurring way, way too fast, producing a great aggravation. As mentioned above, however, I rarely see aggravations at all in my practice, and those which I do see are so minor and short-lived as to not cause the patient any real distress, and certainly not enough to be worth worrying about. 

That said, I do not advise any patients to come off of anything - especially not prescription drugs that have been prescribed by another doctor. However, I often find that a truly good remedy is able to act through pretty much any suppression (albeit potentially more slowly) and that, after a while on this remedy, the patient themselves decides they feel such improvement as to wean themselves off the drugs (of course, with the consent of their doctor and the aid of a professional).

For a more extensive treatment of this topic, please refer back to Post #1.
 
I hope this series has helped clarify a few things, although I can understand it might also have created some more questions! 

To ask any of these questions, provide some feedback on this series, or inquire about your own homeopathic treatment, please contact me at 778-805-6655, or email drandysomody@gmail.com. 
 
If everything else fails, just drop by one of my locations over lunch hour. I like homeopathy that much :) 

Take care,
Andy
