Welcome to the forum Cheerio! I'm happy to see someone else here who knows about homeopathy. Classical homeopathy brings the best results.
I've used homeopathy for over 25 years with great success. I was very ill when I first tried it, since MDs told me I needed to get a life for several years. Now that I know about Lyme disease, I'm pretty sure that's what I had back then and I was getting worse and worse. I had chronic bladder infections, yeast infections, headaches and a variety of other things. I didn't even think to mention how my knees were bothering me and that cleared up in spite of it. I had to give up gardening before that. So I ended up going to a classically trained homeopath and I had so much improvement in the first month and continued to go uphill until I was better than ever. My homeopath told me I was so sick that I had nowhere to go but up! So this time, I'm worse initially after taking the remedy, but feel better once that wears off. I didn't have to do any detoxing, special diets, medical tests, etc. since the meds did all the work.
Now I have a diagnoses of Lyme disease, so I think I was in remission and several of lifes big stressors brought it out of remission, but I, like you, am not doing as bad as most on here. It was put to the test the last 4 years, watching my mother decline. I'm doing worse, but still not real bad. I think it's mostly my adrenals being shot now. I haven't come across a classical homeopath as good as my first...or maybe I'm not presenting my case as well as I did back then, but I started up with one again after reading through the various herbal treatments, which most seemed like too much effort for me. I've only had 2 appts. so far, both times taking a high potency. I might do a few herbals a little later. I spent a lot of time going in circles trying to decide what to do. Homeopathy sure helped me while going through the hard times with my mom. I was much stronger emotionally.
I like the modalities that work on our whole system, not just targeting symptom by symptom.
I hope I was helpful. Let me know what you decide to do and ask more questions if you need to. You need to decide for yourself on what you'll use. I think I'll use a few of Dr. Jernigan's products, but I'll let homeopathy do some work on me first.
It amazes me how little it is still unknown. My original homeopath is teaching in Arizona now, training more classical homeopaths so there will be more available. He said there's a shortage of them now. It does take a lot of studying to become a good homeopath.
