Calcarea Carb for Obese Child
I have a question for Calcarea Carb, it is for my 5 year old daughter. She is overweight and I can't control her gain weight, she is a extremely picky eater, she doesn't eat vegetables, meat or fruit.. Only pizza, candy and chocolate, I try to limit her junk food and we try to exercise with her. But still she keeps gaining weight. She sweats a lot specially her hands and feet which are cold .. She is very sensitive and strong personality. She suffers from reflux too. Is a good way to start with Calcarea Carb and which dosage should be recommended I have heard 200C per week.carlota01 on 2011-05-25

Homeopathy is not a system to lose weight, unless the obesity is part of the 'systemic' imbalance in the organism. It is a system of healing for curing chronic and acute diseases based on similarity of symptoms produced by medicines to those manifested in the natural disease.
If the weight has been caused by poor diet, it is completely beyond the 'direct' realm of homeopathy. Homeopathy might however be indirectly beneficial through improving, her overall personality and her self-awareness, and may help curb pathological cravings for food items which are harmful for her.
And, homeopathic medicines are never repeated mechanically in any manner representable in 'x doses every y time', and especially this is never to be done in the same potency.

I agree with everything Sameer has said.
There are 408 known remedies that might suit obesity as a disease symptom, 27 of those are known for the problem in children. Calc carb is only one of them and the whole case must suit this remedy for it to be effective, assuming that obesity is an actual disease and not a lifestyle problem.
