When not to use homeopathy

Homeopaths have many reasons to not follow the allopathic doctor in methods of practice. But we should always seek appropriate medical care and not ever delude ourselves like the traditional medical professional in thinking that we have the only system that will benefit the patient. Appropriate does not always mean homeopathic. This sort of provincial and self-serving attitude eliminates the possibility of better treatment and lacks a true humanitarian heart.

A number of situations call for competent medical help outside the boundaries of homeopathic care. Knowing the perimeter will allow you to keep out of legal trouble. Sometimes having a support group and gaining satisfaction from having appointments and assurances of any kind of medical professional, alternative or traditional, is not as effective as getting knowledgeable care.

Don't try to take care of these things by yourself without being extremely well trained:

Neck and back injuries if a person is not getting up on their own
Chest and abdominal wounds
Protruding or broken bones that create unusual contours
Burns greater than the area of the palm of the victim
Increasing cyanosis (turning blue)
Crushing chest pain
Unconsciousness
Severe head injury or with loss of consciousness, seizures, change of pulse, slower breathing, pale skin, increasing shock for more than half an hour.
