Welcome to Our Final Exam



This final evaluation will help you to solidify what you have learned and give you an opportunity to test yourself. There is also a link to a reading list at the bottom of the page.

Some are a repeat of important concepts from the Pre-Primer Quiz but some are new and there are case questions at the end. Please take a moment and go through this entire (10 question) section.

Once again, thank you for taking this journey with us.

Questions

 

1. If we give a medication and make the symptom go away, that means the health problem has been solved.

True
 False

 

2. Homeopathic remedies stimulate the body to heal itself.

True
 False

 

3. Homeopathy is harmless.

True
 False

 

4. In our sample case, Fluffy's diarrhea started to have some blood in it but the cat was feeling better in every other way. Fluffy's mom should have:

Given the anti-diarrhea medicine from last year when Fluffy had a similar bout of diarrhea with blood.
 Wait and watch closely while letting the remedy do its work in helping the body to heal.

 

5. Homeopathy is concerned with the total health picture, not just one or two symptoms.

True
 False

 

6. A 10 year old dog was being treated with homeopathy for uncharacteristic aggression. His aggression resolved after several months of treatment, but he began to limp on the back legs and have trouble getting up after resting. This was something that the dog had been treated for in the past but had not been a problem for a year.

How would you view this development in light of the improved emotional state and the increased energy and interaction on the dog's part.

Does this symptom bear any relation to the homeopathic treatment?

This may be the return of an old problem now that the Vital Force is stronger and better able to deal with it.
 This means the dog is getting worse and we should get him on some anti-arthritis medication

 

7. In the above case, the apparent movement of the symptoms from an emotional level (aggression) to a more physical level (limping) is an indication of a further decline in the dog's health?

True
 False

 

8. With additional homeopathic treatment over time, in the case above, the limping improved and the dog started to develop a severe skin rash on his head and neck. The homeopath's reaction would probably be:

To suggest a cortisone shot now that there is only a skin rash
 Wild panic that the immune system is now involved
 To jump for joy since this would be a wonderful development in the case

 

9. In the case above, what might happen if the dog had a cortisone injection to stop the itching.

The aggression might return as the suppression drives the problem deeper
 The case might never respond as well to homeopathic therapy since the Vital Force was doing its job and the cortisone interfered with it
 The aggression might come back in an even worse form like aggression with seizures or very destructive behavior
 Press to see the results or to start the question again

 

10. In the above case there are things that can be used to help soothe the itching while the body heals itself


True there are some therapies (oatmeal, Bach Flowers, aloe) that are used in moderation to help alleviate some of the distress.
 False there is nothing we can do but watch and wait.

Thank you for taking the time to go through this evaluation. We hope that this entire process has been enjoyable and educational.
