This may be a stretch for this list, but I have seen *great* results from using a "grief remedy* (homeopathic), Ignatia 30x. I recently tried it on a 14week IUFD, confirmed by u/s at 12weeks. She was refusing D&C, and I was getting very concerned about the risks. Within 4 hours of taking this remedy she began cramping and spotting, passed conception tissue within 10hours. ********* (me) It's not a stretch at all, Tammy. Just point us to the published scientific evidence that the treatment you propose here is effective, and we can discuss it. Otherwise, you are employing treatments with no evidence of efficacy, which is, obviously, unethical. The great thing about homeopathic remedies is, if it doesn't work it causes no harm, and if it does work it works well. ****** (me) If a "medication" can cause no harm, then it can do no good. If there are no more side effects than placebo, then there are no more beneficial effects than placebo. But, of course, your statement is even more extreme than that the homeopathic remedy doens't cause *more* side effects than placebo; you claim that it causes none at all. Since placebos *do* cause side effects, the obviously implication is that you are claiming, for the first time in the history of medicine, to have something in hand which causes fewer side effects than placebo, but is still effective. This is a truly remarkable claim. I certainly hope you have some actual scientific evidence for it, so that I don't have to write you off as stupid and gullible (which I'm confident you are not; but if you're believing something this improbable on the basis of zero scientific evidence, I'll have to reconsider that presumption of mine).

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
