Guest guest Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 Misty, I think that we are basically in agreement on this. Vitamins, minerals, food supplements, herbs, homeopathic remedies, etc. should be used to mitigate the healing process, not make up for lifestyle. Hemorrhoids do not appear in a healthy body. If someone has them, there are reasons. It could be constipation, obesity, heavy lifting, prolonged sitting, nutrient deficiencies, etc.. I find that it is better to find the reasons and change lifestyle, than to use a short term solution as a long term fix. If hemorrhoids, or any other aliment, keep on coming back, that is only the beginning stages of more serious problems. Your example on Nux Vomica is a clear example of treating a symptom, rather than changing a faulty lifestyle. -- Donald E.
