Homoeopathic contraception?

The only method which is more than 99% successful is the birth control pill but I am also against it as you are continuously taking some chemicals into your system unnecessarily.

These days IUDs are also very much promoted, but I am skeptical of any such thing. As you might be aware no one knows for sure how IUD prevents pregnancy but it does without the use of any chemicals.

Oh my god! I just ate lunch! I've taken chemicals into my system!

(Do these people eat?)

Wow. No one knows for sure how an IUD prevents pregnancy. Amazing. I guess it's magic.

Man, these people are STUPID.

Sorry. Not homoeopathy. Isopathy. It'll never work. :D

Okay, now, how about we go a little bit more indirect here. Since actually using the sperm and diluting it would turn it from homeopathy to isopathy, how about we go for the next-best-thing and simply shrink the delivery vehicle?



Okay, why'd all those volunteers suddenly step back? Was it something I wrote?
 
Thanks Geni, I hadn't seen that. I was thinking about a different thread (about miscarriage).

I see our own dear Sarah (Naturalhealth) immediately jumped on the isopathy bit. But completely ignored the obvious question, never mind the label, will it work? Isopathy is an interesting one. If a homoeopath recommends it then of course it's a branch of homoeopathy and really handy in an acute situation. If a sceptical enquirer suggests it, it's back to "this is not homoeopathy, it's isopathy you ignoramus, end of argument".

Isopathy, schmopathy, WILL IT WORK????

Hoo boy, I'm not going there. Even the strippers here in the back room are rolling their eyes at that one...
 
I'm wondering.
Given:-That normal Homoeopathic treatment involves giving absolutely none of whatever causes symptoms like those of the condition.

Could sexual abstinence not be seen as a phenomenally successful homoeopathic contraceptive treatment?

it isn't that effective. afterall, a sperm covered bullet could lodge in a woman's abdomen in just the right way. or "god" could decide he wants another kid.

For crying out loud, the body makes the EXACT SAME 'chemicals' that are in the pill, so they would be in your system ANYWAYS, and continuously.

Again, showing they don't know how something works. Big surprise.

Ask them about corpus luteum, fsh, lh and the more well known estrogen and progesterone.

They'll think you're talking in a foreign language.

The body would not work without the many chemicals it makes.
 
Eos-"For crying out loud, the body makes the EXACT SAME 'chemicals' that are in the pill, so they would be in your system ANYWAYS, and continuously."

True, but then the fact that your stomach is full of hydrochloric acid does not mean that drinking the stuff won't hurt. (Though I'm sure homoeopathic doses would be fine.)

I suspect you'd end up in a rather frustrating 'natural balance' debate very quickly.

Well, if it's affecting fertility, it's either promoting or preventing conception, even if it does so incompletely. Do you mean only that a remedy cannot prevent conception with certainty?
 
Yes Eos, you were asking about the Corpus Luteum - yellow body. Follicle stimulating hormone and lutenising hormone.

Yes, I know what they do and exactly how they relate to the menstrual cycle.

Oestrogen and progesterone are produced naturally in the body. However, when you take the bcp, you are adding oestrogen and progestin, which is a progesterone like hormone. I realise also that there are different variations of the bcp also, however, it does not get away from the fact that you are adding to what is actually produced naturally by the body and by doing so, upset the normal balance.

The bcp fools the system into thinking that it is pregnant, so ovulation does not occur. Oestrogen and progresterone are produced throughout pregnancy.

Hormonal balance within the body is very finely regulated and this is precisely why lots of women have problems with the bcp. It interferes with what is natural.

By the way Eos, Barb knows full well what she is talking about. As well as being a homeopath, she is also a trained Naturopath. She stated this in a previous post in another thread in reply to Rolfe. Naturopathic training in the States is rigorous.

Why not ?


Cynically i would suggest the answer is that homeopathys failure would be all too apparent to its users in this case, "i know you are pregnant, but its an aggravation, give it 9 months and you'll be fine"
 
"Naturopathic training in the States is rigorous". Say Sarah. How so?

To my knowledge, there's only four "accredited" Naturopathic colleges in the US (requiring four years on-site residency & three years prior college with certain science prerequisites).
Even in the now maybe 13 states that license "Naturopathic Doctors"(such as California this year), "naturopaths" with mail order degrees (very popular), etc. are still allowed to practice wth limitations. In fact, you can "buy" a_degree off the internet. put out a shingle as a "naturopath", & not break any laws in most, if not all, states.

I have no idea of Barb's training, but to say becoming a "naturopath" designates "rigorous training" in the States is a laugh.

Edited to change "three years on-site residency" to "four"
 
How can you be a naturopath and a homeopath?

They are two faith-based systems with opposing fundamental views on how the world works.

You may as well be a christian and a hindu all at the same time.

But would you have a two-sided shingle depending on who your client was? If I'm coming in for some herbal remedy, would you put up the naturopath accreditations? If I want some shaken water, do you flip the shingles over and show me the degree from the Royal School of Homeopathy?

Seriously, though, that'd be some awesome one-stop alt-med shopping - add in some acupuncture, reflexology and iridology and you'd have all your bases covered.
