(I wasn't able to find the original thread.)Kendall,
I was glad to read that you would like to give homeopathy a try! It's helped me enormously with several long-standing problems.
The remedies that helped my voice were:
Rhus Toxicodendron - dosage 30C Ruta Graveolens - dosage 30C
The remedies come in little pellets, and you take them by dissolving 3-4 of them under your tongue. (Normally a person takes one remedy at a time; however, I'm suggesting you take both because I don't know for sure which remedy was the one which helped me.)
You need to take them at least half an hour before or after eating or drinking ANYTHING, smoking, taking asprin, etc. (I usually take them just before going to bed at night, after doing my toothbrushing earlier.)
Homeopathy is different from conventional medicine - you take remedies to start your body's healing process. Once the process is launched, you stop taking the remedy because it has done its work. Take the remedies for a week If they have not helped by then, stop because this indicates they are not the right remedies for you. If your voice is better, stop and let the healing process continue. Then, if you reach a "plateau" where there is no more improvement, but you are not fully healed, take the remedies again for one more week, and stop again. (Since your's is a chronic condition, you may need to repeat this cycle several times over a period of a couple of months.)
VIP - MINT blocks homeopathic remedies from working, so check your toothpaste, teas, etc. Avoid anything with mint for the whole week. Coffee sometimes, for some people, interfears with remedies - it would be a good idea to allow a 2-hour window between the remedies and coffee drinking.
Remedies can often be found at natural food stores, and cost about $6-7 each. If there are none close to you, you can order them by phone by calling Biron at 805/582-9091 (M-F, 8:30-5 Pacific Time). They will have a pharmacy near you ship to you.

Good luck - I hope this helps!
