I knew someone who had a big book that listed all symptoms and what deficiency (vitamin or mineral?) it meant you were low on. Then she had these corresponding little pellet-pill type things that she would put under her tongue. Anyone know what I'm talking about, what it's called, and where you can get them?
Thanks!

Those pellets are milk of sugar pellets Homeopathic remedies are administered on those sugar pellets as well as in liquid form on their own those pellets have no therapeutic or curative powers. When doused with Homeopathic Medicine those pellets take on the form of the Homeopathic Remedy they are covered with.

I think you are a little confused. The pellets are homeopathic and these are not vitamins nor minerals. Homeopathy works rather like vaccines. If you have poison ivy problems then you take a remedy with homeopathic version of poison ivy (rhus toxin). It makes your body immune to it. That is just an example.
Materia Medica is the guide used by many homeopaths.
But for the products, you can buy them at most health food stores. We sell them at our store and online but ours are sprays that you spray in the mouth. Which ever kind you use they work well.

Materia Medica, most likely
Homeopathic remedies can be purchased at health food stores and some pharmacies.
research is supporting homeopathy more and more.
one example is" Improved clinical status in fibromyalgia patients treated with individualized homeopathic remedies verses placebo" ...source #1
edit
assertion is not mine..it is findings of MD's....specialists in Rheumatology
researchers...1987 found
"Silica6C and Silica 10C induced a statistically significant increase in immune function,as measured in the macrophages of mice"...pretty basic research..the point that most chemicals for humans are initially researched. source#2

I don't think this is the kind of thing you can do yourself. Go to a practioner if you want homeopathy. Judge for yourself if it works or not.

Controlled studies indicate that homeopathy has no better effect than placebos.
