Q.What is the difference between allopathic and homeopathic approaches to medicine?

A.Allopathic medicines generally focus on the symptoms; they suppress symptoms artificially, through the use of manufactured chemicals. Homeopathy is more preventative in nature. Homeopathic medicines and health aides use natural ingredients to help the body cure itself through the stimulation of the body's own built-in defense mechanisms.

Technically, any substance occurring in the universe might be used as the source of a homeopathic remedy. Most of the common remedies are made from the naturally occurring vegetable, animal or mineral substances that stimulate the boy's natural healing processes. These substances are broken down into minute molecular quantities, then mixed in a lactose, sucrose or alcohol base.

The way in which homeopathy differs from other types of medicine is that the homeopathic pharmacy employs only the smallest amounts of the substance. Puralin calls this Ultra-Low Dose Therapy.

Homeopathic ingredients are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration and are produced by pharmaceutical companies under the same guidelines as other medications.

Q.How is Puralin's homeopathic formula created?

Q.How long does it take for a Puralin product to work?

A.Puralin's health aides do not work immediately. They are designed to work over time to help the body heal itself naturally. The speed of their success depends largely on the vitality of the individual in question. Anyone taking Puralin's homeopathic-style health aides must be willing to have patience in the short-term to experience better health in the long-term.

Q.Are there any side effects from Puralin products?

A.Because homeopathic remedies are administered in minute quantities, there are no side effects. The goal of Puralin products is to help stimulate and strengthen the body's own healing mechanism.
