tinajcotton93's blog: "The Peterson Group Health Review"

Homeopathy has been labeled with natural treatments which claim to cure not only the symptoms but the root cause of the main ailment or disease. Even the rare cases of health complaints are known to be solved by homeopathic treatments. Hence, this practice has garnered more and more clients as it is considered safer than the conventional medical methods and drugs. 

However, with the conflicts arising after Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has conducted review and reconsideration of homeopathic regulation and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has stepped in to reprimand FDA of advertising stunts, studies were held to measure the real effects of homeopathy among costumers. 

One of those which conducted the study is The Peterson Group, a non-profit organization dedicated to learning about alternative, complementary and integrative medicines. 

According to the systematic review, a lot of people are convinced that homeopathy does not impose basic harm even when critics point out that the results are mere placebo. There may be complaints of the lack of proper bylaws and rules when it comes to the implementation of homeopathic treatment to health but since there is no existing record showing the side effects of this practice, individuals believing in it continue to do so. 

In the latter part of the report though, new conclusions were found. By comparing it to other studies and reviews, TPG has found critical factors of side effects possible in taking homeopathic treatment. They are as follows:

1.Nosodes

Nosodes is a homeopathic term for homeopathic immunization. These are mostly used as an alternative for conventional immunization mostly for children but data to support the claim is lacking. Various governments support this vaccination and give permission to immunize. This practice is open in Jakarta, Indonesia where homeopathic practices are rampant. Much to the concern of the authorities, this can lead to more parents denying proper immunization for their child. 

2.Dilution

While most homeopathic treatments are highly diluted, others labeled as CAM may not be and may contain substantial amount of active ingredients. Like any drug or dietary supplement that contains chemical ingredients, these homeopathic products may cause side effects or drug interactions. Negative health effects from homeopathic products of this type have been reported. 

3.Alcohol content

Liquid homeopathic remedies may contain alcohol. The FDA allows higher levels of alcohol in these remedies than it allows in conventional drugs. This can be dangerous to those with low tolerance of alcohol or with alcoholic allergies.

The British Empire has long been ridiculed and scorned because of its public support to homeopathy, a treatment which many experts consider as quackery. With a lot of individual supporters not only in the United Kingdom but also in many countries around the world, homeopathy has found its way to sensational media and has been patronized by many individual supporters.

The treatment has been too mainstream that it claims to have cured not only diseases but even symptoms. Vertigo is one of the symptoms it has cleared. Research agency providing relevant information and reviewing scientific studies on alternative, complementary and integrative medicines, The Peterson Group, has had reports on the popularity of homeopathic vertigo treatments showing 60% effectiveness claim.

For patients experiencing vertigo, they may feel sensation of spinning and whirling that is resulted to the disturbance of the equilibrium or balance. They may also experience dizziness, lightheadedness, faintness and unsteadiness.

Vertigo is triggered by motion sickness, vestibular neuritis which is caused by an infection of the middle ear or vestibular migraine. Medical experts would prescribe a good night’s sleep and ample amount of rest. However, homeopathy insists that you get a lot of homeopathic treatment (Warning: the treatment varies depending on the age of the user. To know which medicine specifically suit you, you may ask an expert or contact us)

1. Conium

This treatment is perfect for a vertigo caused by too much tobacco use. Symptoms include a sensation when a person looks at a person as if it moves into a circular motion. The patient may also experience vertigo climbing the stairs, sitting down or turning over in the bed.

2. Bromine

This treatment can cure vertigo showing symptoms of sensation when you are looking in the water. 

3. Iron

Low red blood cell count can also account to vertigo. To be able to cure this, iron should be given to the patient. Just make sure that this is the case. For assurance, you can contact the nearest homeopathic expert. 

4. Cocculus Indicus

“Cocculus Indicus” is a commonly prescribed homeopathic remedy for vertigo in the regions of Bangkok, Thailand and Jakarta, Indonesia. It is best used when one’s nausea and dizziness are exacerbated by riding in a moving car or train. It is the premier herb for motion sickness caused by motion. Digestive troubles may accompany symptoms. You’ll know that Cocculus is for you if, looking out the car window, or out from a boat to the moving water, you suffer swift nausea. Simply, you can’t look at moving scenes.
