With Ebola and Enterovirus continuing to dominate news stories, contagious disease and the potential for global pandemics are a source of anxiety and worry for many.
I find myself reminiscing about my visits to Calcutta, India, to study with the homeopaths at the Prasanta Banerji Homeopathic Research Foundation Clinic. At the top of this blog, I’ve posted a photo I took while I was in India. The crowds of people milling around that public square are typical of practically everywhere I visited in that great city.

The story of antibiotics makes me sad sometimes. When penicillin was introduced in the 1940s, the medical community had such high hopes for the new “miracle drug.”
They thought they had found the answer to human illness.
In fact, this one discovery pretty much launched the pharmaceutical industry, which became dedicated to the development of even more drugs and who set out to deliberately alter the entire paradigm of Western medicine into the “there’s the symptom; here’s the drug” attitude we see today.
Little did those first researchers know what they were allowing to run riot on humanity! (more…)
Pollution is a problem. Foods contain pesticides. GMOs are everywhere. Formaldehyde is coated on our clothing and flame retardants on our mattresses. And then there are the oil spills.
We’re doomed. Right?
Yet consider a different take on pollution, one that may be much more important than external pollution. It might be the most vicious, most long-lasting, devastating pollution.
One that takes a more evident toll on health than GMOs and pesticides.
Interestingly, we not only willingly accept this kind of pollution, we even agree to it. (more…)
According to the American Diabetes Association, 13 million men in the United States have low testosterone levels, and among those men, 70 percent report experiencing erectile dysfunction, and 63 percent experience low sex drive. That’s a lot of unhappy men!
Such a delicate subject requires fine medicine. And as always, instead of merely treating the symptoms, homeopathy gets to the root of the problem.
My father calls the locale of these problems “ground zero.” Modern medicine discusses male health in terms of prostate hormone numbers and libido. Homeopathy likes to get a little more personal. (more…)
Prince Harry's vitality may be the direct result of the medical decisions his family has made for generations.
Prince Charles made news in the UK in early May because of his support of homeopathy. The prince had a private meeting with UK Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt to lobby for National Health Service funding for alternative medicines, including homeopathy.
Opponents of alternative medicine had urged the prince to stay out of the debate and were aggravated by his continual attempts to influence Hunt, who shares the prince’s appreciation for alternative medicines.
But the prince has strong opinions on the subject. Both he and his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, are strong proponents of homeopathy and have attributed their good health to its use. In fact, the queen is patron of the Royal London Homeopathic Hospital. (Yes, they still have homeopathic hospitals in England!) (more…)
Question: “Would you be able to speak to the concern about Belladonna and seizures? I successfully used it to fend off mastitis and later saw that a teething remedy with Belladonna as a main ingredient was pulled from the market because of a connection to seizures in children. Ever since, I have been a little nervous about homeopathy but not enough to send me to antibiotics!”
Answer: Hyland’s teething tablets were temporarily taken off the market a couple of years ago not because they had Belladonna in them and Belladonna can cause seizures but because the potency of the Belladonna in the product was not consistent from batch to batch. It was not a safety issue but one of labeling.
Hyland’s was founded in Los Angeles in 1903 by eight physicians. I have a particular fondness for this company because it is an example of good American business practices. Their teething tablets came out on the market around 1925 and have been a hit ever since. I used them myself when my children (now adults) were babies.
The concern about seizures is obviously unwarranted or the FDA would not allow homeopathic Belladonna 6, 12, 30, 200 or any product with Belladonna in it to be allowed on the market at all.
The problem lies in the reporting of the case. Reporters and the general public are sadly unfamiliar with homeopathy which creates confusion with their reporting. (more…)
In case you haven’t heard, the new media medical scare for children this season is Enterovirus 68. Yikes! The added number makes it sound so official and daunting.
But remember, folks, you have homeopathy in your court and a kit in your medicine cabinet.
This doesn’t mean you’d never take a child to a hospital if the illness is serious enough, but let’s see if we can avoid such an excursion.
Here are my thoughts on how I’d treat this illness if it came to my family. (more…)
