Anyone tried Phytolacca Berry Homeopathy Tablets?

Hi All, I recently joined this community. I am Harika my height 167cm, I weigh 92kg. I'm married for last 3years and not planning for baby yet. I went to Homeopathy doctor for suggestion on my weight loss. He suggested me Phytolacca Berry Tablets. Daily 6 tablets. Before 30 minutes of each meal I'm taking 2 tablets. I started this from past 15 days. I observed..my body weighing lite n good. Though doctor told there will be no side effects. I am still worried. So can anyone suggest me did anyone used this product and any good results? Or Side effects? Along with this I am doing 1 hour exercise and mostly following proper diet.

    Homeopathy is junk. Several countries appear to be moving towards banning it outright as fraud.

    No, there won't be any side effects - because there will be no effects of any kind, good or bad. Homeopathy is 100% junk science and fraud. Don't waste your money.

    If you've lost weight, it's because you've been eating less calories than you've burned, so well done for that.

    The homeopathic tablets could not possibly have helped, as homeopathy is fraudulent.

    Homeopathy is based on "principles" that fly in the face of everything understood about physics and chemistry. The astronomically high level of dilution claimed in homeopathic formulas means that they are necessarily just water (before being added to whatever sugar pill or base in which they are sold). Thousands of studies have come to the same conclusion- homeopathy does not work any better than a placebo, because it is, functionally, exactly the same as a placebo. There is no active ingredient. They actually tell you that up front on the packaging if you take the time to understand what their terminology means.

    I know they package their stuff very slickly and make it look and sound like a real medicine, and many people conflate "homeopathic" with "holistic" or "natural," but it isn't. Homeopathy is the specific claim that taking an ingredient that causes symptoms similar to the problem and then diluting it hundreds of times (so many times that mathematically, there is NOTHING left in water but water) will somehow cause it to become MORE powerful and also cure the problem because "like cures like."

    If all of that sounds crazy and baseless to you, a. you're right and b. you now understand why there's a strong movement afoot to have it banned outright as it's entirely false advertising.

    That berry is American Poke Weed. According to the National Institute of Health, it is quite toxic. It's poison. I wouldn't take that.
