Shoplifters, Alcoholics and Libertines, Oh My!

 

I was a presenter at the Weston Price Foundation Conference a few years ago, and as such, I was given a booth from which to sign my books and meet attendees. The table was loaded with my CDs, homeopathy kits and sample remedies. It’s not uncommon to have attendees hanging around my table two and three people deep.

It’s a blast!  I meet folks with whom I’ve worked on Skype over the years, and I get to encounter the most interesting sorts from around the globe.

On Monday night, after three days of this, my husband, sons and I packed everything up to head home. That’s when I noticed that my Hyland’s Homeopathy Kit, which carries 29 remedies, had one remedy missing.remedy5

Frost Nip, Frostbite: This Medicine Works

 

Allow me to introduce you to one of my staff, Renee. She lives on a homestead in upstate Pennsylvania with her family. Her husband recently suffered what could have developed into a lifelong condition. She shares her story that might be helpful to others during the grueling winter temperatures this winter.

 


 

meopt5My Husband’s Frostbite

While ideally, it would be lovely to sit by the fire when homesteading, the animals still need to be milked and fed, and wood needs hauling.

Recently, when we ran low on wood, a cold snap of below -10 degrees rolled in, requiring my husband to work extra hours hauling in firewood.

He should have stopped when his hands first showed signs of trouble, but tenacity set in. He ended up spending too long exposed to the elements. (more…)


Ipecac: The Cough That Nags and Gags

This cold and flu season has been marked by coughs, and I receive communications each week from clients/students afflicted by a cough that nags and gags. The frustrating thing about coughs is that throughout the day, they tend to shift and change a bit.

In the morning, for example, the cough may be productive as the mucus has settled into the throat and chest overnight, but then by the end of the day, it may sound dry. So, one might ask, “Is this a dry cough or a wet one? Is it gagging if it only causes spasms in the morning?” The beginner to homeopathy is often at a loss as to which remedy to choose and on what set of symptoms to focus.

So, I'll try to simply. (more…)


What to Expect When Using Homeopathy: Part 3

 

Stopping and Changing Direction

At what point along the road to health do we abandon a remedy protocol and try something new?

For vitiligo, the Banerji Protocols have been shown to alleviate this problem in a certain number of people, but it is generally a very long process with slow results. In musical terms, it might be called adagio adagio … that is, a snail’s pace.

But, when we look at something like eczema, now we see a pace of recovery that is often commensurate with the length of time the person has suffered from the problem. It’s often the pace of adagio, particularly in milder cases.

Here’s how it often fleshes out (pun intended). (more…)


Magpie Medicine: Drugs for Fever, Drugs for Pain, Drugs for Anything

 magpie2

One can’t help but notice that allopathic medicine has a distinct aversion to natural methods yet gets giddy over shiny new objects: a novel imitation food instead of breast milk, the up-to-the-minute new vaccine, the latest pain reliever. I call it magpie medicine. (more…)


What to Expect When Using Homeopathy: Part 2

 measure2

Originally, I planned this to be a two-part series, but I discovered that it required more. My goal is to give you as much on this subject as possible; hence this is Part 2 of a three-part series.

Last week in Part 1, I wrote about the kind of results one should look for when using homeopathy to address acute situations, such as fever, otitis media, sore throat, bee stings, etc.

Acute problems are relatively straightforward compared with what to expect when dealing with chronic conditions.

Nonetheless, when using homeopathy for chronics, there are also signs along the road that we can look for to reassure us that we are on the correct path or to redirect us if we are on the wrong path. (more…)


What To Expect When Using Homeopathy: Part 1

 ??????????????????

I get asked a lot of questions that demonstrate beginners’ confusion about what kinds of results to expect when they start relying on homeopathic methods.

People want to know how long they ought to continue with a particular remedy, how many times to administer it, how to tell if they have chosen the correct remedy or protocol and what kinds of obstacles might be preventing results.

Sometimes people make the mistake of not sticking with a protocol long enough, other times the mistake is sticking with a protocol too long.

I’d like to lay out some guidelines to help you have a clearer idea of what to expect. (more…)
