My mother who is 51 year old is taking homeopathy medicine for joint's treatment. Actually allopathy doctor have advised my mother for knee operation (for rheumatoid arthritis). But someone in my relationship had told my mother that homeopathy medicine can cure this and will further required no treatment after taking homeopathy medicine. But I doubt is going in my mind that the homeopathy medicine which my mother relative is giving cost around 8000 per months. Is it true or he is making us fool. My mother is taking homeopathy medicine for rheumatoid arthritis from around 9 months. Please tell are really the treatment for this is 8000?

First Rheumatoid arthritis is best treated by allopathy medicines which can cost 500 -1000 rupees per month in most cases. All arthritis is not Rheumatoid arthritis. I am not sure you have given any evidence that your mom has that. Homeopathy medicines are basically sugar pills, if you are taking such costly pills, its your choice, I don't think they will work. If knees are severely damaged no allopathy, ayurvedic or homeopathy medicines will work. Its because if knees are eroded nothing available can regrow a new cartilage. A rheumatologist might be able to give you besta dvice. They are medicine doctors, not surgeons, so they should be able to give you a fair advice on surgery without any vested interests. Remember Sandhi Sudha oil marketed by Govinda. Cost 6000 rupees. All oils have eucalyptus oil or menthol, which gives warmth and you feel nice. You can get eucalyptus oil in 50 rupees also. Iodex which has it comes in 50-100 rupees. People are fooled everyday by false claims.
