Homeopathy does not treat just multiple sclerosis symptoms per se, but rather the person having such symptoms with all their nuanced temperamental aspects, likes and dislikes, aside from complex personal and family history. This purports to deftly taking the full case and understanding the totality of symptoms in the context of the patient’s overall experience of life, and finding specific homeopathic remedies for the disorder.
In addition to numbness and weakness in her limbs, which Robin attributed to MS, she told me she’d been suffering with interstitial cystitis [painful bladder] and troubling tics in and around her eyes. The problems may well have been related to her MS too, although she didn’t realise this at the time.
Robin and her mother were rightly anxious about the prospect of Robin going off to college half way across the country with such worrisome, unpredictable complaints. They wanted to do whatever they could to reduce her symptoms and prevent her condition from worsening. Despite this anxiety, Robin’s attitude about her illness seemed decidedly positive and her energy cheerful and upbeat.
As Robin earnestly shared her story, looking often to her mother for answers and support, I learned that she had put a fair amount of stress on herself during high school. She had played a sport every season and had pushed herself academically. She was close and competitive with her two sisters, a year older and a year younger, and she planned to study pre-med in college.
Although I’d treated numerous patients with MS, I’d never had one as young as 18-year-old Robin. I welcomed the opportunity to create a relationship with this family and offer support to Robin, over the next few decades. Each person with MS is different and we can’t guarantee that we can help; however, in my experience, homeopathy and natural medicine have much to offer the person with MS. And, the sooner treatment is begun, the better is the likely outcome.

The Subtleties of Homeopathic Prescribing
Homeopaths often probe into fears and dreams of patients, because these are the areas of least control.
