It’s a feeling you’ve probably experienced … the frustration of not being able to sleep. You know you’ve got to get up in a few hours, but sleep still eludes you.
Western medicine is quick to jump in with a sleeping pill promising quick relief. It doesn’t matter why you can’t sleep. Everyone gets pretty much the same medicine.
The beauty of homeopathy is that we take the time to evaluate the individual symptoms pertaining to each person’s sleep problems. This gives us a chance to holistically assess what factors, such as stress levels, may be hindering sleep. (more…)
Aside from the many wonderful things I’m learning here at the homeopathy clinic, you might think the recent flu outbreak would make me glad to be in India! Actually, I don’t worry about the flu because I know homeopathy’s track record in treating it.
Even during the deadly Spanish flu epidemic of 1918, homeopathy came through with flying colors. During a time when about half of the patients treated conventionally died from this infection, homeopaths reported a death rate as low as 2%
With such an impressive history, I know where to turn if I do succumb to the flu. (more…)
I didn’t want to write about this subject until I was certain that I didn’t experience jet lag. Well, it’s now Day 4 of my and my husband’s India trip, and I can report that we have been free of jet lag. Our travel time from the moment we took off at the Buffalo, New York, Airport until we touched down in Kolkata, India, was just over 30 hours. This was certainly a true test.
This is what I did: (more…)
Have you ever noticed that when your child can’t get on a bike and ride it, he’s upset and frustrated? And soon after, he gets sick with a cold or fever or chickenpox? Have you ever noticed that when your daughter just can’t get a handle on her math tables no matter how hard she tries, soon after, she comes down with a stomach bug?
Well, I have.
And if you know what to look for in holistic health, it can be an exquisite thing to behold. Childhood illness often appears right at the pinnacle of a developmental shift.
After the illness, comes the fruit. He can get on his bike and ride like the wind within a few days of the illness — something he couldn't achieve for weeks. Now, she can memorize her times' tables with aplomb.
It begs the question that if we take away the signs of illness via artificial means, are we depriving our children of natural and significant events in their lives?
If I’m wrong, then I’ll stand corrected. If I’m right though, then normal childhood illnesses are gifts: gifts of immunity and of development. Think about it … perhaps
it’s better to grow the way Mother Nature intended than with concocted serums or chemical stews that hold back forward movement.
As we start the New Year, our focus is on progress and where the future might take us. I know that for my family and many other families like mine who have chosen to
take charge of their health care, real progress only came when we chose to give up our reliance on second-rate medical care that only suppressed symptoms and didn't
offer real cure.
Choose this year to embrace true wellness with homeopathy.

At this joyous time of year, I’m reminded of some of the best gifts we are given in life: our children. Did you know that there is a homeopathic protocol that can be followed during pregnancy to give the gift of robust health to your unborn child?
The best part? This prenatal plan uses homeopathic cell salts that you can simply dissolve in water and take with you anywhere. Plus, they’re inexpensive and give your body the easily assimilated minerals it needs at this crucial time without resorting to the artificial nutrients found in commercial prenatal vitamins.
The following schedule should be adhered to for the duration of the pregnancy and the protocol for the last month continued for as long as the baby nurses.
Recommended Monthly Program:
Month 1: Calc fluor 6x, Mag phos 6x, Ferr phos 6x
Month 2: Calc fluor 6x, Mag phos 6x Ferr phos 6x
Month 3: Calc fluor 6x, Mag phos 6x, Nat mur 6x
Month 4: Calc fluor 6x, Nat mur 6x, Silica 6x
Month 5: Calc fluor 6x, Ferr phos 6x, Silica 6x
Month 6: Calc fluor 6x, Mag phos 6x, Ferr phos 6x
Month 7: Calc fluor 6x, Mag phos 6x, Nat mur 6x
Month 8: Calc fluor 6x, Nat mur 6x, Silica 6x
Month 9: Calc fluor 6x, Ferr phos 6x, Silica 6x
Take three to four pills of each remedy assigned for the month three times each day. Alternatively, you can dissolve the pellets in four ounces of water and take a sip of this preparation three times a day.
Just like higher potency homeopathic remedies, cell salts (sometimes called tissue salts or Biochemic homeopathy) are prepared in highly diluted dosages. This gives them a greater ability to work. Cell salts are readily available in most health food and some grocery stores and are very inexpensive.
Having considered the above, it needs mention that no amount of cell salts will substitute for a diet of wholesome and nutrient-dense foods. So, I recommend that nutrients be obtained from “Super Foods,” those that have been eaten throughout the ages in preparation for and during pregnancy. They are full-fat cheese, full-fat yogurt, and loads of butter on all vegetables, and unprocessed meats, especially liver and other organ meats. Eggs from pastured chickens are a valuable source of the omega 3 fatty acids your baby needs for brain development.
This is the most crucial time in your baby’s life. It is also the best time for constitutional homeopathic care, as both mother and child are treated as one. Homeopathy has no side effects and will not interfere with any other meds, although meds are an especially unwise choice at this time. Homeopathy and high-end nutrition is fully safe for mother and child from the time of conception up to and including the birth.

Teaching my year-long online class How to Raise a Drug-Free Family has been so enjoyable and rewarding as my students grow in their homeopathic knowledge that I just had to share one of their stories:
Elaine writes:
My husband, Rob, has been dealing with his health for some time now. He has finally figured out that his testosterone levels are extremely low. So now that he knows what is wrong with him and he is taking more action, he is in a much better place. Anyway, he was prescribed a new testosterone replacement because the one he had wasn't helping. He started using it on a Saturday, and that night he had a couple glasses of wine.
Well, he woke up with the worst headache ever and was vomiting and rolling around all over the place. I felt so bad for him. As you taught me to do, I grabbed the text book from our webinar class and choose a remedy for him, and he was back asleep in 15 minutes. I remembered that when a person falls asleep soon after taking a remedy, it means that I picked the right one. Success!
His need for homeopathy didn’t stop there. The next day, he grabbed the chicken I was cooking out of the oven. He wasn't thinking at all and grabbed it with his bare hand! Totally burned his hand and was freaking out because of the pain. It was so bad that I was getting the family ready to go to the emergency room. In between all of this, I took to our book searched for the injury module and chose a remedy for him to take for the burn pain. I also decided to make a little water mixed with the remedy to put onto the burn because you direct us in that module to spray the burn as well.
The pain became manageable, and he decided to wait to see if the burn would blister before going to the ER. Wouldn't you know, the only spot that I didn't rub the water mixture on was the only spot that blistered!
Rob was beside himself. He was ranting and raving about this stuff being a miracle cure. He couldn't believe how it healed him so fast – twice in one day! I just love when Rob gets it! He is my biggest skeptic because his mom, who's a nurse, is always telling him that drugs are good. So when he is amazed by homeopathy, I just love it!
One of my favorite parts of being a homeopath is that I get to hear amazing stories like this every day. Embrace homeopathy as your medicine of choice, and soon you’ll have your own testimonials of cure to share. The word is spreading as savvy mothers and others determine to take back control of their family’s health.

We would all avoid surgery if we could. Homeopathy, in fact, allows us to do so in many cases, but sometimes going under the knife is necessary.
Fortunately, the fact that homeopathy doesn’t interact with conventional drugs or medical treatments makes it the perfect companion to surgical procedures. Learn this simple surgical protocol, and you’ll be ready for the next time you or a loved one faces surgery.
You may not know that at the turn of the century, our country boasted many homeopathic hospitals where skilled surgeons knew the value of using homeopathy before and after operations. This type of medicine is still practiced in other countries such as England, Switzerland, Germany and India.
The following protocol has been shown to help the surgical patient by reducing the inherent shock from an operation, preventing infection, boosting the immune system, alleviating post-op pain, speeding recovery and even stabilizing the person’s emotional state.
Have these remedies on hand for surgery, which might include tooth extraction, organ removal or a simple mole excision.
The more severe the pain, the more frequent the administration and the higher the potency required.
That means that if you have any homeopathic education and experience, a higher potency can be used. If homeopathy is rather new in your life, then use potencies such as 30 or 200. For the sake of expediency, the remedies below are indicated in 200c. One dose is generally 4 pills, regardless of the size of the person taking the remedy.
1) Arnica montana 200c is given morning and night on the day before surgery, and then repeated the morning of and just before being wheeled into the operating room. Remember that the purpose of Arnica montana is to keep infection at bay, minimize the shock to the system, reduce swelling, minimize the possibility of hemorrhages and put the person at ease.
This should be repeated as soon as possible after surgery and administered every 2-3 hours as needed. Then it can be repeated as often as required to eliminate pain. If the pain is persistent, this indicates the need for more frequent repetition, perhaps every hour or two.
2) If pain is still a problem, Hypericum 200 is used as an alternate so that Arnica is administered say, every even hour and Hypericum every odd hour.
3) Sometimes other remedies are required, such as Staphysagria 200 for wound pain or site infection.
4) Nux vomica is generally used for nausea, constipation or diarrhea from the anesthetic.
5) Phosphorus also comes into use as a powerful remedy for headaches and difficulty withdrawing from the anesthetic.
After surgery, choose the issue that is the most trying and then the remedy that most closely matches the symptoms.
Don’t use more than one remedy at a time except in the case of extreme pain or if you are working with a homeopath. In some cases, the aid of a classical homeopath may still be needed to address the nuances and complications. However, you can do plenty to protect and get your loved one off to a good start.
With this elegant protocol, surgery takes on a whole new light…even becoming a compatible option.
And options are what we homeopaths and mothers like!
