My younger daughter needed help when her throat suddenly swelled up and breathing and swallowing became difficult. On another occasion she had Glandular Fever. I became interested when our visits to the Doctor became very frequent and nothing seemed to help long term.

We keep a first aid kit of remedies which has seen us through many minor problems

My mum used to use it on me and my sister just for first aid things and it worked really well.

It benefited me because after years of using conventional hormonal treatment and painkillers for Endometriosis, I was becoming more and more ill and loosing so much time off work. I dreaded each monthly cycle as I'd be in agony. I saw a Homeopath and my Endometriosis went away within a few weeks. I couldn't believe it! Years later I went to see another Homeopath after getting diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome following Glandular Fever. The remedies she prescribed me over a few months turned my health around drastically and I could go back to work again. I was so impressed by these 2 experiences, I decided to train to become a Homeopath myself and now have my own practice.

My parents used it, so I was familiar with homeopathy since childhood. I was in my 30's when I contracted glandular fever and was told by my GP that there was no treatment and that it would clear up in 6 weeks. After it had persisted for 18 months with weakness, frequent collapse and aching with cold all the time, I consulted a homeopathic physician who gave me some little pills - I don't know the name of the remedy - and after 2 or 3 days I suddenly felt new energy surging through me like a river of life. A sudden and permanent cure!

I used to suffer every winter from flu, debilitating colds and vicious sore throats. So I began to take the homeopathic prophylactic against colds and flu. I did this because my father, then living in a nursing home, had been offered it as an alternative to the "flu jab". Since using the homeo. remedy - now for many years - I have never had so much as a sneeze, let alone the sufferings I used to endure. It is just good health throughout the whole 12 months of the year.

I was amazed at the result of the first prescription for Sinusitis. I did not know anything about homeopathy, but went because I did not want to take antihistamines all of my life, or any other drug for that matter.

I have used homeopathy extensively now for over 20 years, and have studied the subject at college. Homeopathy has helped my children as they grew up and my husband as well. It has meant we have been very healthy as a family and so not have to take drugs of any kind from the Doctor. My daughter had something like Glandular Fever, but the Doctors couldn't really help with this. After the correct homeopathic prescription she was full of energy almost immediately.
