confusing information on the 
leaflets
homeopathic medicines by Dr. Sybille friend Source:

"We deal in this newsletter, including often the treatment of children. Just run in children homeopathic treatments very successful so that this form of treatment remains well on the rise is. What the therapist does, however, every now and then problems with the treatment are not the patients and not the disease, but the package insert. For this reason, I would like today to speak out.
were used there were no leaflets on homeopathic medicines. That was actually not that stupid, because you either knew about and knew how to handle it or you knew nothing of the matter and confided to his therapist. are now in the package inserts a lot of information that can be very confusing for the patient and, unfortunately, not without problems. example: Lycopodium D12 from manufacturer XYZ, it states: "With acute problems, you should take globule 50-10 hour (maximum 12 times a day) until improvement occurs. For the subsequent treatment or in chronic cases, 1-3 times daily 5-10 globules are taken. Infants up to 1 Age should, in consultation with the doctor, get a third of the adult dose. Infants to 6 Age, the half, children between 6 and 12 Age of two thirds of the adult dose received. "These data on dosage are questionable. As a therapist who has dealt with the Organon (Hahnemann's work in which he explains the homeopathic treatment in detail), one wonders why one should follow these dosage proposals which are not described in the Organon. It is the periodic repetition of "dry shares" (as opposed to the water glass method), Hahnemann rejected. Even where the information on the quantities of the globules and the max. 12-times dose come is not clear. Really difficult is the statement :"... or in chronic cases, 1-3 times daily 5-10 globules are taken. " This can result in one or the other so-called patients to a drug test. That is, the patient developed
by the homeopathic remedy symptoms that he had not before (more on drug testing, see Newsletter 14 September 2007) The dosage information for children and infants in this strict, non-individualized form, not necessarily to understand.
Hahnemann wrote that one should always the smallest possible dose to use. This can be in an infant one globule. 3 globules may already be too much also. It depends very much on the sensitivity of the patient.
Major problems also makes us the rate in some package inserts of homeopathic remedies: "For the purposes of this medicine in children are no well documented experience. It is therefore in children under 12 can not be applied. "
When threatened by the ingestion of large quantities of the product poisoning, such a formulation to understand. Is not this the case, however, it only confused. Thus, the sentence is about the drug potassium bromide in the company ZYX LM potency 6th Here one finds no molecules of the stock in dropper bottles. This remedy can not poison. And the accompanying phrase "... during pregnancy and lactation only after consultation with the doctor" just confused, because it can be done from a toxicological viewpoint, no damage.
there really any danger, it is in the package inserts the phrase :"... not be used. This is a clear record that is to protect against poisoning. But as soon as it say "shall", it can be assumed that the study location is not enough to say clearly be: "is not dangerous." could be offered to most homeopathic preparations is likely to prove the safety, if you had the money and the time for studies.
As you can see, we missed the legislators here are some brain teasers. The gifts of teaching is a very large area on which homeopathy students have a long time to chew until they feel reasonably certain. And even then, it can lead to discussions among therapists, if you want to find a suitable dosage for a patient.
That means for our patients, contact your therapist. He
you can most likely call the appropriate dosage in your case. "
