Do you clamor for simple, inexpensive, cartel-free medicine? …….Medicine of the values of old? 
I did. But it wasn’t until after suffering from chronic fatigue, debilitating allergies and anxiety attacks, that I found this genuine medicine. How unlike my ancestors, I was!
My Sicilian grandmothers believed you went to the hospital to die. They birthed their babies at home, treated colds and flu’s with a good dose of sweat, sleep and garlic and nursed their big families through many ills without the aid of doctors, clinics, hospitals and drugs.
As for me, after relying too long on modern day McMedicine, I finally grasped that drugs dole out detrimental side effects that made me sick.
The reason for this is that they suppress our body’s ability to address the problem and drive the disease to a deeper level.
What hypocrites!
Yes, conventional drugs cause illness instead of removing it.
So, how could I re-gain robust health and confidently treat my family, while avoiding the dangers of drugs?
The answer was simple.
I learned homeopathy.
I came to this by way of my illness and I finally realized that the only person looking out for my family and me is Me!
The human body is a miraculous machine. It’s capable of great resilience and healing ability, often in spite of our abuses. Once I experienced the gentle, yet powerful curative action of homeopathy, I was hooked.
At first, I learned enough to treat my family with homeopathy and then I committed to going to school to become a homeopath.
Now I’ve been helping others for over 16 years, I’ve been able to bring robust health to my family and teach others how to do the same.
We’re a drug-free family. No, I don’t mean we sometimes use them, I mean that my family of 5 has never ever used an antibiotic, analgesics or any other allopathic drug in over 24 years!
Bronchitis? No problem: Antimonium tart.
Knee injury? Why, it’s just Arnica montana.
Flu? Oscillococcinum.
It’s often that easy.
I want all moms to be hooked! Because whoever you are, you too, can cure your family with homeopathy.
And you will not be alone. Homeopathy is used throughout the world by millions: doctors, hospitals, monasteries, moms at home and all those are who tired of medications that only and most certainly cause further ailments.
So what is homeopathy? It’s a well-established form of medicine, dating back to an 18th century. It’s based on the principle called the “Law of Similars”, that “like heals like”.
It’s simple. If a substance, poison ivy, for example, causes a certain type of rash for a healthy person, then homeopathic poison ivy, Rhus tox (which is a highly diluted and concussed version), can bring about a cure for a sick person who is experiencing a similar rash. So, it’s a perfect choice for similar illnesses such as chicken pox or an eczematous rash.
Like heals like.
The compelling premise behind homeopathy is that there is a mechanism in each of us which is capable of coming to balance if given the correct stimulus. This is achieved by using a homeopathic remedy that is chosen not for the disease, but rather the person who is experiencing the disease.
Homeopathy treats the individual and not the pathology.
Symptoms are the outward expression on the inner disease; hence, symptoms are of value in determining the remedy. And once the symptoms are gathered, a remedy is chosen using the symptoms as indicators. You don’t treat the symptoms. You don’t manage illness, you resolve it.
Another way to put it? You cure the person. You uproot the propensity for the return of the illness.
Moreover, it’s inexpensive medicine.
So, if you pride yourself in being frugal, tenacious and autonomous, if you love being in control of taking care of your family’s well being, if you get a thrill out of learning a skill that will serve you and your family for generations, then this medicine, called homeopathy, is the method of care for you.
I have too much information to keep to myself.
Stay close by and I’ll teach as much as I can about what I’ve learned.
Is this eczema resolved or is it suppressed? This is an important distinction that is not considered in modern medicine. In homeopathy, however, it is a critical one. Homeopathy approaches health from a different position than modern medicine does. It sees the use of drugs as an impediment to the well being of the human.
When a drug, such as cortisone or other creams, is applied, the pathology still remains and only the outer experience or appearance is addressed. However, the disease not only remains, but is driven deeper into the essence of the person. In other words, the illness isn’t cured; it becomes subterranean.
On a practical level, what does this mean? Well, it is no mystery that eczema and asthma are keenly connected. They are both pathologies of epithelial cells that have been exposed to outside elements. Hence, the skin and lungs are not only similar, but are mirror representations of each other. So, when cortisone, or the like, is applied to the skin, eczema recedes after a time and lung issues, such as asthma, bronchitis, etc. often appear. This means that when we suppress an illness on the skin, we’re trading it for a disease of the lungs that can be life threatening. The trade is a less serious illness for a more sobering one. Not a sound choice.
In the world of homeopathy with its proven laws of health, the homeopath works to assist the person’s ability to resolve the illness with a gentle stimulus from the remedy. Instead of slamming the sufferer with a new more potent illness, the remedy gently nudges the sufferer’s ability to resolve the pathology on his/her own.
Consider the woman who had been suffering from eczema that included cracking of the skin, relentless itching at night and inability to use her hands for her daily work. The reason she chose homeopathy was because it had worked so well for her children and husband for other illnesses. This eruption wasn’t resolved in very short order. In fact, it took months. However, during that period of time, other areas of discomfort were also resolved.
The remedy chosen for this undeniable transformation was Mezerium. It is specific for eruptions in a “stocking-glove” distribution on hands and feet. It relates to skin that is cracking and even patterned in a geometric fashion. There can also be corresponding pain in the bones. There is a sensitivity to touch with anxiety and irritability as common concomitants.
Until her hands were cleared, the young mother used nothing over the counter or prescribed. For centuries, homeopaths have known that the only acceptable thing to go on the skin is from the kitchen. That is, if the product can’t be fully eaten, it does not belong on the skin. Lard, unsalted butter, plain yogurt, coconut oil and olive oil are examples of acceptable skin creams. Unpronounceable ingredients don’t belong inor on our body.
All skin difficulties, such as eczema, psoriasis, warts, acne and the like are outward pathologies that represent the inner health of the person. If driven inward, it has been shown that the pathology will become a more profound infirmity. Hence, eczema that is suppressed with drugs of commerce may inspire asthma to follow.
For true skin and subterranean health, choose homeopathy. It is not superficial or of questionable safety. Indeed, it offers the vigor of clear, glowing skin that everyone deserves.
Traveling by plane soon? Don’t let jet lag put a damper on your long-awaited vacation or family gathering.
I like to recommend the following protocol to my clients and students. It’s worked wonders for them, so pack your bags and take these remedies along.
The trick is to combine the following 5 remedies together in about 4 ounces of water. One sip (approximately 1 tsp.), every 2-3 hours upon arrival of your destination, is the way this little combo remedy is taken.
Here it is:
Arnica 6x
Cocculus 6x
Kali phos 6x
Nux vomica 6x
Passiflora 6x
If you don’t have these remedies in a 6x potency, you can use 12 x or 12 c as well as 30x or 30c potencies for all of them except for Kali phos. Kali phos should only be used in the 6x or 6c potency for this protocol.
If you are unable to obtain all of these remedies, at least use Arnica, Kali phos and Passiflora.
I confidently wish you “Bon Voyage!”

Sodium Fluoride, Triclosan (a pesticide according to the EPA!), Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Propylene Glycol.
These are the common ingredients in your tube of toothpaste. None of them are good for you, your gums, your liver or your pearly whites.
Lately, I’ve received inquiries from folks who are looking for effective and safe toothpastes to use while taking their remedies.
Let me share with you what I personally use and what anyone else can try!
Not only is this toothpaste safe to take when using homeopathic remedies (remember, mint can be an antidote to homeopathic remedies), it is also far safer for the entire body than most products on the market today.
And it's inexpensive to boot! I also like the idea that moms can make these kinds of products at home with their children in order to teach them the importance of self reliance.
Here’s what you do:
Mix together the following ingredients:
I keep my toothpowder in a pretty porcelain cup.
To use this mixture, just wet your brush and dip it into the toothpowder. In essence, you are cleaning the brush; the mechanics of the brush are what really clean your teeth.
Important note: Because baking soda is an abrasive, using too much can be detrimental, so a very little goes a long way. If you have too much powder on your brush it can be too abrasive and remove the dentin.
Teachers have so much on their plates. More and more, middle and high school teachers are faced with disciplinary problems while they strive to maintain a peaceful environment in their classrooms.
One teacher told me that after a long day, she’d come home, lay her clothes out for the next morning and sleep until then, when the whole routine started all over again!
To ensure that you get your much-needed and well-earned Zzz’s, let me offer you a remedy lesson. It could help you become an A+ teacher!
As a homeopathic consultant/educator, teachers frequently come to me for help. Many deal with stress that comes in the form of wakefulness, anxiety or even a nervous stomach.
Sleep can be disturbed when the load of responsibilities and paper work pile high. The remedy Nux Vomica, 30C can be a gift if you frequently wake at 3 AM and can’t fall back to sleep because your mind is wide awake, thinking of the impending day’s tasks.
Those who need Nux vomica can also be plagued with digestion issues such as constipation, bloating, gas and other gastro intestinal complaints. Irritability is a common symptom, too.
It has been repeatedly shown that when Nux Vomica, 30C 
week later, sleep and calm are restored and gastro intestinal problems melt away.
(But remember, the specific symptoms listed above must be present, in order for this remedy to do its work. A different set of symptoms calls for a different remedy altogether. This can make choosing a remedy a bit more confounding, but it’s worth all the effort!)
After the correct remedy has been chosen, sleep can be restored and the peripheral issues will melt away. Can we ask for more?
If Nux vomica doesn’t complete the job, a call to a classical homeopath can be beneficial. It may mean deeper work needs to be addressed.
There are literally hundreds of homeopathic remedies available, which have been shown to eliminate stress-related problems unique to teachers. A homeopathic consultant can sort through them to find the perfect remedy for you. And when you learn this lesson, pass it along to colleagues and parents.
Homeopathy is medicine without side effects, is safe and most importantly, it works!

Can you think of anything worse than the thought of pinworms? Because pinworms are a common childhood infection, regrettably, they're prevalent in schools, too.
Consider this your first lesson in homeopathy.
Homeopathy is a method of medicine that has the gentle and powerful ability to deal with easily spread infections, such as pin worms and colds.
Let’s look at two homeopathic remedies that have a reputation of protecting teachers (and students) who’ve been exposed to these common childhood sicknesses.
When the classroom epidemic is pinworms, there is a great little remedy that is reputed to be just as powerful, not only to eliminate them, but which can be used as a prophylactic.
(Remember, the alternative is not a pleasant one. Conventional medicine will suggest a medicine that is a vermicide. The suffix “cide” means to kill. This means that the active ingredient is a pesticide of sorts, which kills the worms. We want to get rid of the worms, but not at the expense of harming the body with a vermicide.)
Instead, the remedy Cina creates an unfriendly environment so that the worms will expel themselves. Cina tincture can be used by taking 6 drops in water, then sipping the water throughout the day for 15 days in a row. It should be repeated one month later in the same manner. This is the advice of practicing homeopaths of India where this kind of infestations is even more prevalent than in the U.S.
Homeopathy has helped many teachers from getting contaminated with this insidious infection even when nearly the entire class is affected.
For colds, my favorite remedy for our family is Oscillococcinum. In France, it is the top selling, over-the-counter medicine of any kind. They use it as the premiere remedy to abort a cold or flu before it comes on or before it comes on in full force. The French take it as a preventative as soon as the first student begins to sniffle and then one day each week for a month, then one day each month until the cold season is over.
Plenty of other Europeans and Americans use it too.
That’s because the protection it offers can be significant, as long as it’s taken before the symptoms get a foothold. Oscillococcinum is reputed to be particularly valuable when the colds and flu’s come about during the wet and cold seasons, such as autumn and spring. Some say it’s infallible.
All of these remedies are available at health food stores and many pharmacies and will cost no more than $15. Additionally, homeopathy will not interfere with any meds you may already be taking.
If you find that your health is too often plagued by the latest illness in school, give homeopathy a try. It may even become the discovery you innovate in your next science class.

What to do when confronted with a bee sting?
Turn to Ledum & Apis*-these are premier bee sting remedies. If there’s coldness to the site, but ironically, the stung area feels better with cold, look to Ledum 30. The protocol is to give one dose, every 1-2 hours, until improvement or for up to 3 days.
Apis, on the other hand, is perfect for stung areas that are warm to the touch, burning, red and swollen. The swelling might also be edematous and remote. That is, if the sing is on the foot, the ears may swell. Try 1 dose every 1-2 hours, until improvement or for up to 3 days.
You may also administer two cell salts: Ferr phos 6x and Kali mur 6x, every 1- 2 hours, until improvement. Use these on alternating hours from Ledum or Apis.
Remember, if the reaction is severe or if there is anaphylaxis, seek medical care immediately. Along the way, administer the appropriate remedy. Generally, Apis in a high potency is best suited for allergic reactions.
*Pregnant women in the first trimester should not take Apis repeatedly.
I designed it especially to provide a framework to guide you through your remedy choices. It is perfect for busy mothers and others who love curing their families themselves.
