Hi, would you wet dose or regular dose? How exactly do you wet dose for 200c vs 30 c vs 6c?
Why on heavens earth would you even consider reommending Belladonna-Deadly Nightshade of the natural order Solanaceae. The FDA regards any over-the-counter products claiming efficacy and safety as an anticholinergic drug, to be illegal. Highly toxic !!! What are you thinking!!!!!!!!!!! the US Food and Drug Administration warned consumers against the use of homeopathic teething tablets and gels containing belladonna as used for infants and children, stating that the products may be toxic, causing “seizures, difficulty breathing, lethargy, excessive sleepiness, muscle weakness, skin flushing, constipation, difficulty urinating, or agitation”
Ray Hersom, If you study what homeopathic remedies actually are, you will understand how safe and gentle they are especially when working with a homeopathic Dr. They’ve been used for over a hundred years and proven effective and safe. If you read a negative word about it even from the FDA, it’s because homeopathic remedies do not support big pharma.
Belladonna isn’t toxic. Toxicity is present in absolutely all over the counter meds with tremendous side effects.
Our daughter had been sick with a fever and other symptoms for two days. I remember thinking in the dark, early hours of the third morning, that if her illness did not improve, we might be taking a trip to the hospital. It occurred to me that her fever was dry, her cheeks bright red and her eyes shiny. Based upon these and other symptoms, we administered a dose of Homeopathically prepared Belledonna. Two hours later, I awoke to find her and her father making pancakes for breakfast. The symptoms had abated and she recovered.
Ray,
Do you seriously think the FDA has your best interest at heart? No. They are in bed with Big Pharma, and will do anything they can to discredit herbals that can heal you naturally.
Ray,
Do you seriously think the FDA has your best interest at heart? No. They are in bed with Big Pharma, and will do anything they can to discredit natural healing that doesn’t line the pockets of the companies that are paying them off.
FDA??? They are trying to eliminate people, you better think twice before trusting those big pharm lovers. All they care about is money.

Please read up on homeopathy and learn what it is before you comment on something you don’t know anything about.
Homeopathy WORKS!!! I would never trust the FDA… thank you for the fear mongering… I’m sure you also believe that injecting 50 vaccines also make children healthy, right? No thanks.
I’ll follow my own path. My children are doing amazing.
What about treating/eliminating “seed warts” on the bottom of my right foot? They began as a “cluster” just under my fourth toe…not painful until cluster became larger=1/4” diameter. Now they have spread individually across most of the ball of my foot and are quite painful when I put any weight on my foot to move/walk.
I am preparing for a lot of dental work but I want to make sure I have no infections. What should I take?
With had a child over to play today (he is 2), and I realized part way through that he likely has HFM. Is there any homeopathic remedy that I can give my 2 children to lessen the risk they will get it too?
Thank you!
My toddler has this terribly. Mouth, hands, genitalia, feet, even knees. She started with blisters on Wed. Thurs was way worse and now today they are weeping. I also have an 8 month old. How can I keep her from getting it too?
Hi Dr. Sharma,
I am already taking sulfur for Dyshidrotic eczema . Is there anything else you can suggest?
Thank you.
Debbie
Hi, my grandson has been sent home from play school with hand, foot and mouth, he is 3.
How can I treat this?
Kind Regards
Dr. Sharma, recently our horse got really bad hives. We are not sure what it was from, but they were raised bumps and patches all over his neck sides legs, most of his body. We tried some combination remedies, but it didn’t seem to do too much. Just wondering if you have any particular ideas. At the very beginning, he had a cough as well, but that went away within a week. It was so bad, he started to develop cellulitis in his hind legs from fluid retention. We have that under control with ice wraps and medical grade compression bandages. Any ideas as to what to do if we have a reoccurrence? Thank you very much
Hello,
I tried your chat but could not send for whatever reason. I had several root canal teeth extracted and since that time my mouth has been very sensitive to cold and hot beverages and also painful. I was diagnosed with Coxckie virus years ago through a bio resonance practitioner so perhaps the surgery may have activated the virus? There is also a possibility that I got an infection in the bone forom the surgery which is called a cavitation. I have the intention of having implants in the future but want to be certain there is no infection in the gum or bone of my teeth. Is there a Homeopathic remedy which could treat this?
Do you make a homeopathic remedy for silicone in lymph and body and skin as an implant from mastectomy reconstruction has ruptured? Prenovu scan clearly showed it in lymph???
I have nocturia, needing to urinate 3 x per night also have fleshy growths on the soles of my feet & cataracts.
I am 76 years old & of reclusive habits & enjoy reading & walking.
thank you/
