A person with chronic eczema comes in for a homeopathic consultation. After reviewing the case, I give her a dose of “Sulphur, 30C”. She comes in two weeks later, excited, because the eczema is largely gone, her sleep is better, and she has noticed a desire for healthier, less processed foods.
What does this mean? Is it that she had a “sulphur deficiency”, which the remedy filled? Not at all. In fact, sulphur is a common part of our daily diet, and the amount of sulphur in one dose of a remedy is miniscule. Skeptics actually point to this issue to “prove” that homeopathy “cannot possibly work”. There is far more elemental sulphur in one bite of broccoli than in the dose my client took, which began to heal her of her eczema.
