I too have been fascinated with the results I have gotten from homeopathy.
I agree that it is not for the faint of heart -- it is a long, gradual process of healing (more like changing) that requires a lot of patience and a different mindset than the common western "I want relief and I want it now" idea of medicine.
I too have gone off my bipolar meds in the one year that I have been doing homeopathy. I am still having mood swings, but they are not as extreme, and I am staying functional through them, where before I was hospitalized. I have clearer thinking, energy and motivation, whcih I lost on medication.
The changes are so vague that they are hard to attribute to homeopathy, but I do think it works -- in a holistic, mind-body way. I'm glad to hear other mental -illness sufferers are finding healing with hoemopathy, and I hope to see it used more frequently with people like us. My homeopathic doctor laughs when I say how amazing it is that I can 'feel better', or 'get better' (so different from the psychiatrists, who say I might 'stabilize', but my illness will only get worse and I will need to be oon medication for the rest of my life!) -- she thinks that mental illnesses are one of the 'easier' things to treat with homeopathy!!!
