No period after discon't birth control pill
Hello, My son's girlfriend, age 25, discontinued the birth control pill over 3 months ago and her periods have not resumed. She had taken The Pill for 3 years. Her periods were regular before the Pill.I have read Folliculinum is helpful in such cases?
Thanks,
Ruth

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Or it could make it worse. That isn't a homoeopathic use of our medicine. The way you want to use it is called Isopathy and it is a fickle method of healing with its own set of risks.
You don't know for sure using the pill is the reason her period has not returned. There could be a variety of reasons for it. The homoeopathic approach is to take the symptoms of the patient and prescribe a medicine to improve their overall health, which will include the return of the normal cycles and an increase in fertility.
Prescribing a medicine for a perceived underlying cause not based on the observable symptoms is called Allopathy.
If it is because of the pill, giving a medicine made from the pill can have an unpredictable result. Sometimes it helps, sometimes it makes it worse, sometimes it adds new symptoms into the mix.

Fickle? Wow. I just waded through a 57 page case spanning 5 years posted on this website. It was managed by a professional homeopath and after reading it, I think there is no better description of fickle. At the end the woman had some of the same symptoms she posted on page 1. And as I was reading it I was thinking, 'where is the direction of the cure?' Why is she still having ear infections? Why hasn't the eczema moved down her limbs and off her body?
So in this case Folliculinum is not well indicated? I know there are homeopaths who treat autism with a remedy made from the MMR vaccine when the child was normal before being given the vaccine. It is successful sometimes. Is this not a similar circumstance?
This young woman I know has limited understanding and experience with homeopathy but has taken some remedies with successful results... For things like injuries, cold symptoms, etc. She is willing to try a remedy for this. She is not, however, willing to fill out your lengthy questionnaire. Not everyone is willing to wade in that deep. I just don't think it should prohibit us from trying a remedy that may help.
And regarding that 57 pager, the multitude of remedies prescribed over 5 years were all good choices?
I am not meaning to be belligerent. Just putting forth my opinion.

Well, you know something about homoeopathic philosophy. That is a pleasant surprise.
The ONLY indication in homoeopathy is the specific, individual symptoms the patient is showing if you want to get reliable, predictable, and long-lasting results. Folliculinum has its own picture, and if it is going to cure a patient the patient needs to display that same picture (to a significant degree at least).
There are times when Isopathic prescribing can be useful - however I believe that in those cases where it is genuinely helpful the patient is displaying the picture of the remedy but we cannot identify it (because many of them are unknown). Someone who needs a remedy made from a particular substance is often sensitive to it in its gross form, and so you would logically see long term consequences from contact with it.
I rarely see Isopathic prescribing cure patients, and I more often see it harm them. That is my experience in clinic, and experience of my colleagues as well. Many times I have been forced to clean up the mess of the naturopaths who love to use potentized versions of substances to 'detox' and other such nonsense.
I have spoken at length with other posters about my opinion of CEASE therapy, where potentized versions of various drugs and vaccines are used supposedly to cure children with Autism. I would have to go searching for that post, but my opinion on how it is being used is that it is an affront to homoeopathy, to healing itself, and is being abused so badly that many children are being injured by it. Multiple remedies, inappropriate use of high potencies, severe overdosing, new symptoms being created, displays of severe distress and suffering - I am horrified by what I see being done. It appears that whatever Dr. Smits intended with his therapy, it has been distorted, perverted, primarily by naturopaths and psuedohomoeopaths. A way of making money from those who are desperate it seems, and they are riding on the back of homoeopathy's success to do it. Not only that, but the negative press resulting from it is also being directed back to us, despite the fact that CEASE does not follow homoeopathic principles.
I have read Dr. Smits book, and I believe he used classical homoeopathy alongside CEASE, which is probably why he got the success he did. Most CEASE practitioners I see now do not - they are Allopaths pure and simple.
I can only give you the same advice I give all potential patients - homoeopathy must be used properly to get results. Trying to use it like pharmaceutical, herbal, ayavedic, chinese or any of the other systems of medicine will fail, and it can cause side effects which may last a very long time.
There is no way around it - cure requires commitment and time and patience. Orthodox medicine has lied to us for a long time now that it is otherwise, but nature shows us the truth, and we cannot work outside of nature if we wish to experience REAL health.

Her period started naturally about a week later without a remedy so I have to thank you for discouraging me from giving her Folliculinum. Had I given it, I probably would have mistakenly given credit to that.
