When dealing with something like an STD I would suggest seeing a regular doctor for diagnoses and treatment. Many STDs can be treated or controlled with today's treatments and medications. Without proper treatment STDs can do long term harm and even be life threatening. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]

Homeopathy is only as real as unicorns.
The basic idea of homeopathy, is the "law of similars", and was thought up in 1796, and fully debunked within a few decades. It’s creating remedies by taking something that is similar the illness the person is suffering from (so, if you have a fever, which is hot, you would treat it with chilli peppers, which are also hot) THEN it gets diluted in so much water there is basically nothing left in the water. Homeopathic solutions that are often diluted as much as 10^60. Which is like putting one grain of rice (or active ingredient like the chilli pepper) into a body of water as big as our solar system and thinking that ALL that water will remember that one, tiny piece of chilli pepper (but also that the water will NOT remember everything else that was ever put in it! Like every piece of bird poop it seems to forget, but that one phenomenally small ingredient of medicine is must remember).
And that isn’t true. When you dilute something that much, it is basically gone. Every test has proven it: Water doesn’t remember things in that way. Now that we know about atoms and particles, homeopathy is ridiculous. And like things don’t treat like. Hot things don’t cure hot flashes. Itchy things don’t cure itches.
Homeopathy is not real. It's an idea someone had in the middle ages that is totally wrong. The big reason they thought it worked back then was because it meant that an ill person ended up drinking a lot of water - and we know now that hydration is very important to beating any illness.
If you think you have an STD, see a doctor. Many are curable, and many of those that cannot be cured can be treated and controlled to keep other around you safe from them. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
