I would like to sincerely thank all the nice persons who responded to my
inquiring: "Did somebody test (with or without success) Homeopathy and/or
Bach Flowers Therapy (Healing Herbs) for the treatment of CD?"
Don't you think homeopathy can help to cure the CD?
I think that factors like emotional imbalances, mental tensions, behavioral
problems are generally at the origin of a disease. Very subtle products like
homeopathic drugs and healing herbs help to become aware and to overcome
weaknesses, emotional tensions and blockages. They do not have a direct
action on biochemistry of the body but act rather by vibratory resonance,
inviting to change. The disease is there because people, consciously or not,
refuse the metamorphosis. The disease can be a privileged period to ask
questions, to put oneself into question, to search one's past for answers
regarding one's current state, in short an opportunity of evolution...
Here is a summary of the replies:
--
I don't think you can heal CD with herbs, and I don't think it's a problem
of being unconsciously "maladjusted". Most diseases have very concrete
physical origins. If a brick falls on your head, would you attribute your
headache to an emotional imbalance?

I have used homeopathy since the early seventies and go to an md who is a
homeopath. He has me take Veratrum Alb 30C for the symptoms of celiac and
if I take it at the first sign, that is as far as it ever gets. My dr hasn't
effected a cure yet....the synmtpms have lessened. The veratrum alb does
help. I have been told that celiac, diabetes and alcholsim are on the same
gene strand.

Yes, I did test Homeopathy (Hannemann) and Bach Flowers together (I was
reciped Natrum Muriaticun 200 and Agrimonia during 3 months), when I did not
know about my celiac condition, and it was the only time I felt good before
GF diet. Before that moment I was very ill and traditional doctors said me
that it was "in my mind".
When I knew I was celiac (it was very hard to diagnose) I asked myself these
questions:
1) Why those alternative medicines were accurate in my case?
2) Did they act only shadowing manifestations of the disease? Or they really
cure CD?
Nobody could answer those questions. But I don't think it may cure the CD
and I don't believe that the damage in bowel may be cured only with
homeopathy (it would be so great!)

I have three adult children who are all wheat sensitive, though not celiac
(yet). Two of them just went to a homeopathic dietition yesterday who uses
the Bach Flowers therapy. They are going to try it. A nurse at my son's
clinis recommended this dietition and says she has had amazing results, even
with celiacs. I am somewhat skeptical, but it's hard to argue with success.
It may be worth a try.

I believe my celiac was brought on by a virus when I was 14. Some other
people who were exposed to it have since developed diabetes. I don't think
it is possible using current technology to cure celiac disease, but it is
possible to live a "normal" life, without gluten. What the tincture will do
for you is reduce your reaction to gluten - it is still toxic to you though,
so you still need to avoid it. On the other hand, your diet tends to be
better than most people, because you can't just go eat whatever you want to
(for one thing, gluten free baking is expensive, isn't it!) I think in the
long run, we are healthier than most people and more aware of our physical
well being i.e., we are less inclined to take it forgranted.
Some other things that have helped me:
1. Yoga - works on settling out energy imbalances. If I accidently ingest
gluten and practice yoga, I find my system settles down much more quickly.
And it just feels good (after a while, of course, I'm not very flexible)
2. Buying myself some gluten free treats when I start feeling sorry for
myself.
3. Drink lots of water - it helps flush the toxins from your system (and you
will be flushing for quite a while yet!)
This is a huge adjustment to your lifestyle. I used to hope that I would be
"cured" someday, but I have come to realize that it wouldn't matter if there
was a cure. Say there was a pill that would let me eat what ever I wanted
to - would I live my life taking a pill all the time? Probably not - I
would use it to go out to eat and maybe when I travelled, but for the most
part, I would still stick to a gf diet. On the other hand, I don't get
colds or flus. I don't have to take vitamin supplements. I am slender and
will likely remain so. I even look healthier than most people and why?
Because we don't eat junk!
I think you are correct about the emotional and mental component to disease,
not only in the cause, but in the curing or living with. I also believe that
there are genetic components to developing a disease too - so it might be
stress that triggers a celiac condition, but you have to have the underlying
genetic structure for it to become a problem for you. The scary part about
celiac is that you can become apparently cured, i.e., you don't react to
gluten anymore, but you can still be doing damage to your body by ingesting
it. I don't know what to think about curing celiac by looking for the
underlying emotional causes, or whether this is a one way street - it might
have been emotional causes that triggered it, but once you have it, it's
yours for life. Interesting to think about though!

Thanks again to everyone!
