Is it necessary for all family members to take the “deworming” medicine as we do with allopathic medicine where all of us are asked to take the medicine even when only one person is suffering from worm disease ?

           We homeopaths are frequently asked this question. My answer is an emphatic no. and the reason is first of all we are not attempting any “deworming”. Whet we are doing is to enhance the patients capacity to effectively expel the worms by creating an internal homeostasis where the worms will no longer be able to survive. 
           This we achieve by administering the symptomatically similar homeopathic medicine in its minimum dose, thereby providing the vital energy of the person the necessary energy and support to effectively adjust the body environment.
          Secondly we cannot blindly administer a medicine, symptomatically selected for one patient, to all his family members since each one of them would require their individual similimmum to adjust their life energy.
          This very question brings us to the superiority of Homeopathy over the so called  Modern Medicine. We can effectively relieve one individual without ever disturbing any other member of the society with unnecessary prescription.
           Next time when you are face with this one or similar question please explain the way we work and try to convince the patient with logical and scientific explanation rather than a simple affirmative or negative word.
