The ABC Homeopathy Forum
Has homeopathy ever cured scabies?
Please give specifics, and link to cases if possible. A google search for "Scabies cured by homeopathy" doesn't turn up any actual cases. I can't find any references to that having ever specifically happened, only claims that it can in theory, which is not the same thing.LisaX on 2018-04-19
This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
In homeopathy the cure is decided by the following factors...
Application of Indicated Remedy
Removal of maintaining cause
Constitutional susceptibility of patient towards the remedy
So the first component can never take the credit for what has happened to the patient.
When it comes to treatment of parasites, the maintaining cause should be adequately addressed.

So that means to kill the parasites? In that case there would be no need for a remedy, because that would eliminate the problem. So the answer is no, it can't? Just exterminate them and be done with it? That isn't considered suppression?

It is NOT suppression. Think of it like ants are in your house because there
Are cracks in the outside walls. The ants are biting you and your cats.
Solution : get rid of the ants.
What you are saying is if you and cats were in some perfect health then the ants would not be biting you.or the bites would not affect you.
It’s a big infestation like bed bugs or lice . Look at people who go to a hotel that is not cleaned well and has bed bugs. They get bit and bring the bed bugs home in their luggage. Do you think if they were in perfect shape the bed bugs would not bite them? Or if a lot got into their clothes and then when home could have a huge problem ??
I told you earlier hahnemann thought scabies was a “ disease”- it got into the homeo literature until microscopes were invented. Then all the suppression stuff was void- bc they are invading bugs.
I worked with a woman who emailed for a year on her rashes, bumps, itching. Trying several remedies- they would help but problem still
Showed up. Turns out she did not realize that an antique wood headboard she purchased was infested with bed bugs. She threw it out and got a new mattress- her bites healed up and she is fine.

If you get lice you can just comb them out every day, and eventually they'll all be gone, I've done it. For bedbugs you get an exterminator. There is no equivalent thing for scabies because they live inside your skin. Eliminating them from the external environment can protect against reinfestation, but it can't do anything about the ones already reproducing inside your skin. The only way to fight them is to either put a poison all over your skin, or to take so much of a poison orally that it is coming out through your skin. I've been doing both of those things, not with the pharmaceutical stuff, but with natural substances that are toxic in the amounts that are required to do the job, and it's making me sick and it's probably making the cats sick, and I'm sweating neem and garlic and I smell terrible, not that I can go among people anyway so it doesn't matter what I smell like.
Simone, you know that I basically agree, because I already raised the same objection. But changing the rules because Hahnemann didn't know what they were (although it's been known to be bugs since ancient times so that's on him) seems like arbitrary use of scientific criticism, when nothing about homeopathy is in agreement with mainstream science anyway. According to current scientific knowledge, it can't work. People have been curing diseases without knowing what they were since the beginning of time through trial and error, and I just assumed that's what the homeopaths were doing. A virus or a bacterial infection is also a living thing, and homeopathy can cure those things by pointing the immune response in the right direction. The immune system does have some (limited) ability to fight scabies. In people who don't have a severely compromised immune system, it limits the number of them that can infest a person at any given time, but if it can do that I don't understand why it can't wipe them out.
My question was whether homeopathy has the ability to tell the immune system to get serious about going after the scabies. Not in theory, but whether it ever has in practice. So far it seems like the answer is no.
