Emergency Remedy Series: Just One Lick

Hi! Buster, the Bad Office Dog, here.

Mom was recently discussing her latest subject for the Emergency Remedy Series: 

Food poisoning. 

Just thinking about it makes me want to run out and eat grass. You, too? Oh, wait. That’s right … you humans don’t eat grass, do you?

Well, trust me. Don’t knock it ‘til you’ve tried it.

Anyway, she reminded me of a story about my birth mom, Dolly. Before I was born, she had a wicked case of food poisoning. Seems she got into the neighbor’s garbage and mistook it for a smorgasbord. 

Blech.

She was sooooooo sick! She started horphing all over the house and was desperate to get outside into the fresh air.

Then the diarrhea and the vomiting started. Both! She got so dehydrated and thirsty; she’d crawl over to her water bowl but just take one lick — not even a full drink. Just one lick, and then she’d collapse with exhaustion. Dolly was terribly sick. (Why she ever ate garbage is beyond me! Ewwww.)

Of course, Mom took great care of her (as she does everyone) with homeopathy. She gave Dolly Arsenicum album 30 as needed until Dolly was back to her old self.

Apparently, it worked really well, or I might never have been born! What would my family have done without me?

Anyway, I found out the same thing happens when you humans eat some bad food. (Just please tell me you’re not getting into your neighbor’s garbage. You should know better than that!)

You’ll probably know you have food poisoning from the nasty (and relentless) vomiting and diarrhea. It’s no fun at all! When the humans in my family are this sick, they always say, “Everything on my inside wants to be on my outside!” (At least they keep their senses of humor, huh?)

You may also experience burning in your stomach, chills, weakness, fatigue, and especially find yourself craving small sips of water just like Dolly did. Mom says anxiety is a big tell-tale sign as well. Lots and lots of anxiety. 

Well, guess what? Humans can take Arsenicum album 30, too! (In the exact same way — as needed until very much better.)

In fact, Mom says even though Arsenicum album is the first remedy she thinks of in a case of food poisoning, it doesn’t actually have to be food poisoning for it to work. You can also use it when you have those same yucky symptoms, no matter what the cause. 

So, be sure to keep Arsenicum album on hand with your other emergency remedies. You never know when something you eat will disagree with you, and it’s way too hard to drive to the store when you can barely leave the bathroom! 

And don’t look at me … I don't fetch!

Remember what Mom says, “Pass on the good news of homeopathy!”

P.S. Mom’s materia medica contains other remedies that can help in these cases, like Veratrum album or Nux vomica or Ipecac. So, you may want to have your very own copy of A Materia Medica: Practical Homeopathy® for Busy Families at home for reference. It has lots of different remedies in it. You’ll learn so much!

Americans for Homeopathy Choice (AFHC) is a grassroots organization that was created to protect your access to homeopathy through continuing communication with the FDA. 

They have the support of a special congressional delegation who will be meeting with the FDA soon, but they need your help in order to continue their legislative strategy in Washington, D.C.

They’re hosting their semi-annual pledge drive fundraiser on Facebook this week. During this special event, you will hear from homeopaths and people who use homeopathy from all over the world!

Also, if you purchase my Gateway to Homeopathy Study Group Curriculum during this limited time, I will donate your entire purchase price (minus the appropriate shipping and handling) to Americans for Homeopathy Choice.

Each of you who purchase will receive my booklet that was “banned” by Congress: Homeopathy: A Brief History of an Expansive Medical Paradigm. (The Congressional Ethics committee would not allow AFHC to give this informative booklet to congressional members.)

Plus, if you are among the first ten to purchase, I will double your donation by matching your purchase price as my own personal donation to AFHC.

I’m doing all I can to support Americans for Homeopathy Choice and ask you to do the same. Click here for more information about the event’s schedule, and be sure to catch my talk on September 10, 2019, at 2PM EDT titled, “Secrets of a Prepared Homeopath.”
