This is a complicated answer, as it depends on you and your unique situation.  It could be that you simply did not take the correct remedy.  There could be something that overrides the remedy, such as prescription drugs, or drinking regular coffee.  It also could be that a stressful situation in your life needs to change before your body can respond curatively to the homeopathic remedy, and this includes many things, including what you eat and drink, to your daily activities.  And sometimes it comes down to genetics; what you were born with.
