Replies on Cheap, Effective Remedy for Dog Flu Not Newsworthy?

There's no strychnine in the Nux Vomica, but I am not knowledgeable enough to explain how they are made. There are many excellent books and resources out there, Dr. Will Falconer's newsletter too. Good luck

Hello, Iris. I don't see the answer as nasty. Drea is correct that we need to learn about how homeopathy works and that means we've got to read and research for ourselves. It's important that we understand it, and it's why reading everything on this blog is so helpful. It's easy for online postings to be taken the wrong way. Those of us on the natural path want the best for each other and our animals. Let's give each other the benefit of the doubt. I hope no one has hurt feelings.
Another fabulous article, Doc! We've shared these articles with our family and friends just in case they encounter dog flu. Totally agree with the others about informed people not looking to the MSM for factual information. That's not what they traffic in.

Iris,
The science behind homeopathy is not simple, therefore a simple explanation is difficult. The tiny bit of knowledge I feel I have is based on reading several books and joining blogs. The simplest answer I can give, while it will likely make no sense, is there is so little left of the source of each remedy once it is in its dosing form that there isn't really any toxicity to speak of.
Not to mention, most remedies are dosed only a couple of times. It's not something you take long-term. Often only 1-3 doses are all that are needed.
You were likely warned by someone who doesn't understand. Until you have seen the unexplainable happen it can be difficult to believe a tiny, white pill, or sprinkle of powder, could hold so much good inside of it. I didn't initiallybelieve in them myself, now

I appreciated you comment. I think people should be careful when using supplements and such.
I said something to that effect, below.
