Point de vue d'un pediatre homeopathe sur l'asthme infantile

Point of view of a homoeopathic pediatrician on infantile asthma

The author practices in Jerusalem where allergies are frequent. She avoids prolonged use of conventional asthma drugs, especially B2 agonists. She uses allergy avoidance, dietary restrictions such as no chocolate or red colorants and sometimes cow's milk, physiotherapy to aid movement of bronchial mucus, clearing out of the nasal cavities and homoeopathy. She finds that homoeopathic drugs are much more effective in respiratory disease than conventional medicines. She prescribes on physical and etiological symptoms. She prescribes Ipecuanha 7CH most frequently, which permits rapid reduction in dosage of B2 agonists. In a double-blind study it was shown that immediately after taking Ipecuanha 7CH there is usually a small bronchiospasm detected by functional respiratory tests.

This is not at all harmful and can be explained in 2 ways, whereas some conventional drugs are beneficial to start with but later provoke a bronchial constriction with a not negligible risk of death.
