Homeopathy and Strep Throat
I had just begun teaching 1st grade. You can imagine all the germs I was coming in contact with daily! One day I came down with a high fever and very sore throat, the classic case of strep. I called my homeopath, who I thought was too far of a drive to actually visit. She told me to go to the doctor to get a strep test, just to be sure, but don’t take the antibiotic. Strep was confirmed, and my homeopath said to take Apis and Belladonna. I was a new to homeopathy and did not have them on hand. I sent a friend out to find them, but he could not find them in a pure form. After 3 days of a high fever, my homeopath said I had better just get the antibiotic, so I did. I recovered, but a few weeks later came down with the same symptoms (the antibiotic sure didn’t help my body to know how to fight it!). This time I was able to have someone drive me out to my homeopath. She gave me a high dose of belladonna at her office and I immediately felt the fever dissipate. I took the Apis and Belladonna for a few days and recovered. After about a month the symptoms mildly came back and I took the same remedies. I recovered and have not had strep since! That was 11 years ago. I haven’t been on antibiotics since then either. Now I know what really works! - ME
