Review of homeopathic therapy of colitis and Crohn patients

The retrospective analysis of cases of patients suffering from colitis and Crohn's disease shows the basic rules of evaluating the follow-up.

There are three basic classes of symptoms:

• The patient's general state, his vitality (vital force),

• The patient's mental and emotional symptoms,

• The patient's local symptoms.

By classifying these symptoms we can understand the patient's health level and the prognosis of the homeopathic therapy.

The evaluation of the response to the therapy is carried out over a period of a few months, according to three parameters:

• the pathology,

• the state of the defence mechanism,

• the remedy given.

We also mention the difficulties of the evaluation, the mistakes we discovered and the reasons for them, such as:

• The condition of the patient during the interview, the subjectiveness of his answers and also weaknesses of the therapist, e.g. wrong information given and wrong understanding,

• Evaluation of acute conditions,

• Correct waiting time for administering the next remedy or repeating the same one,

• Intervention of allopathic or other treatment (acupuncture, osteopathy etc.).
