How should I take my homeopathic medication?
We recommend that you take your medication when there are no strong flavors in the mouth—at least 10 minutes from food or drink before and after taking the medication. Avoid handling the medication as much as possible, putting it in your mouth directly from the envelope or the bottle cap.

Can I see my medical doctor while under homeopathic care?
Yes. Dr. Baker and Dr. Keys are licensed primary care physicians in the state of WA. For some patients they provide care as an adjunct to routine medical care and for others provide general care, referring to specialists as appropriate. It is up to the individual or the family to decide how they would like to complete their medical care.
