Frequently Asked Questions
Homeopathy is a system of medicine found in Germany in 1796 and currently in practice in over 100 countries, including all states in the United States, all of Europe, Australia, most Asian countries, the Middle and far-East, and Africa. It is different from conventional medicine (also called allopathy) in several ways. Homeopathy believes in treating the patient as a whole, in totality, rather than treating the disease in parts. Also, homeopathic medicines are in the potentized form, which is like nano-particles, which makes the recovery of the disease effective yet safe.
Homeopathy is recommended because it treats, especially chronic diseases, at a deeper level giving lasting relief as compared to conventional medicines which give temporary relief in most chronic diseases.
Homeopathy is more effective for chronic and recurring diseases such as allergies, arthritis, auto-immune diseases, skin diseases, chronic infections, muscular diseases, metabolic diseases, psychosomatic diseases, etc. To name some of the hundreds of diseases where homeopathy could prove effective: Allergies, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, vitiligo, lichen planus, urticaria, migraine, sinusitis, frequent colds, autism, ankylosing spondylitis, IBS, ulcerative colitis, hepatitis c, ADHD, underactive thyroid, psoriatic arthritis, Chalazion, anxiety disorders, depression, GERD, hair loss, trigeminal neuralgia, and many more.

Homeopathy cannot be effective in critical conditions such as severe infections, high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer, severe painful conditions, truly surgical diseases, diseases with irreversible changes in the body, and many more. It all depends on the stage and extent of the disease.
A well-qualified and experienced homeopathic doctor can decide if your disease can be helped with homeopathy or not. Please explore this page to see the list of diseases, which can be helped using homeopathy. Please also explore Dr Rajesh Shah’s videos. Also, you can send us an e-mail or chat with our doctors online at Life Force to get an idea if your disease is treatable using homeopathy or not.
Homeopathy is relatively slow to act many times, if not always, as compared to chemical-based conventional medicines.
Well, when it comes to the treatment for chronic diseases, it is not important if the treatment is fast or slow; what is more important is to have a long-term and lasting solution; rather than the treatment that works quickly but for a short time. It is like a hare and tortoise story. Homeopathy wins there!
Homeopathy is almost always safe due to the nature of medicines if prescribed by a qualified homeopathic doctor. It is safe for babies, pregnant females, and elderly people.
Homeopathic efficacy has been proven in many placebo-controlled scientific clinical trials. If you search on the net, you will find many scientific papers published about homeopathy research in an international, peer-reviewed journal.
Most conventional family doctors (GPs) are not trained in homeopathy; so they are unaware of the benefits of homeopathy. However, the trend is changing. If you wish to take advantage of homeopathy, you have to take a lead and research; and also motivate your doctor to study homeopathy. You cannot afford to be deprived of the benefits of homeopathy simply due to the ignorance of your doctor! After all, you need to be treated and get well; not your doctor.
This bias about homeopathy is due to a lack of training and experience about homeopathy. In fact, at Life Force, we treat a large number of conventional doctors from many countries who approach us for homeopathic treatment. Medical education as of today is not yet the most evolved. The most evolved medical education will have all forms of treatments (including homeopathy) taught to the doctors.
