In the past, I’ve written about parents suffering from “empty nest” sorrow, and student difficulties such as homesickness or burn-out from excessive study combined with excessive “partying,” that exhaustion that sets in after burning the candle at both ends.
Today I’d like to talk about another protocol that will be very useful for students (and their worried mothers) to know … (more…)
The other day, I ran into an old friend, Jessica, an avid tennis player. She said that she and a few other people she knew had recently developed plantar fasciitis.
“Would homeopathy help something mechanical like this?”
“Of course, it can!”
Homeopathy treats the ills of humanity. It doesn’t stop at mechanical conditions or injuries. (more…)

Last year at this time, I posted a blog on the value of the darling of remedies for the shock and sorrows of empty nesting. In other words, the ultimate tool to keep mothers sane after the last fledgling leaves the home.
Well, it’s that time of year again when college kids pack off, and mom’s handkerchiefs are in full use. (more…)
“One of the greatest threats to public health is the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria … this is due to the misuse and overuse of antibiotics.”
— James M. Steckelberg, M.D., Chair, Infectious Diseases, Mayo Clinic
Conjunctivitis. Pinkeye. Eye infection. Whatever you call it, it means the same thing: inflammation of the conjunctiva, due to either a bacterial or viral infection or due to allergens or irritants.
So, get to the doctor and get a prescription for an antibiotic, right?
Baloney! Do it yourself! (more…)
Before my first baby was born, I prepared myself. I was not interested in counting on a pediatrician and his synthetic drugs, so I studied botanicals and collected wild herbs from the meadows and lanes around the countryside of Western New York. I harvested, bottled and dried medicinal herbs. I learned what would protect the baby not only from ills but also from the harmful effects of pediatrics such as antibiotics and cough suppressants.
I stocked up for my mothering adventure – all I had to do was wait for a complaint such as flu, ear infection or teething pain to arise.

By now you probably know that I oppose the overuse of antibiotics practiced by conventional medicine. Through its focus on managing the symptoms of illness rather than uprooting the cause, modern medicine has created a state of depleted health for many.
Antibiotics suppress symptoms such as fever and ear infections but at a cost. Generally, they drive the pathology deeper into the body until it re-emerges later as a more serious problem. This is why one illness follows another shortly after the use of drugs to “control” the symptoms of the first.
And gastrointestinal problems such as food intolerance emerge shortly after rounds (sometimes only one) of antibiotics. (more…)
Back in the '80s when I was birthing my first child, it was difficult to find a doctor who would agree to the kind of experience I wanted.
My idea of birthing was one in which I did all the work, and the midwife or doctor stood by in case I needed them. No drugs. No procedures. No interference.
I did everything I knew to make that happen. (more…)
