Homeopathy Offers a Safe Alternative to Acetaminophen
Berkeley Springs, WV, July 1, 2009
Acetaminophen, a drug found in some over-the-counter painkillers and cough medicine can cause liver damage. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) took action on June 30, 2009 to make consumers more aware of the hazards of acetaminophen. Additionally, a government advisory panel voted to eliminate prescription drugs that combine acetaminophen with prescription narcotics because of their risk for overdose and for severe liver injury.
Homeopathy offers a safe alternative to acetaminophen. The list of potential alternatives is more than 5 pages long when searching for a homeopathic pain medicine. Some of the most obvious homeopathic pain medicines include Arnica for general pain, Hypericum for nerve pain, Mag phos for cramps and Nux vomica for headaches.
Doctor Mehmet Oz (“Oprah Show” Health Expert) announced a list of alternative pain treatments on the Good Morning America Show on January 22, 2009. Dr. Oz’s alternative list included homeopathy. He touted every homeopaths favorite remedy - Arnica - as extremely effective pointing out its widespread popularity as a common pain relief remedy in Europe.
Homeopathy is the second most widely used medicinal system in the world and it has been used safely and effectively for over 200 years. Unlike allopathic medicines, which suppress symptoms rather than curing, homeopathy supports the natural curative mechanisms within the body.
“The low cost of the medications and the rarity of adverse reactions make it (homeopathy) preferable, in most cases, to modern drugs. Furthermore, because the medicines are inexpensive, safe, and easy to use, individuals can learn to handle many common illnesses for which people regularly seek medical help.” says William Shevin MD.
