Homeopathy Cures Croup as Easy as 1-2-3

Pertussis (4)This last winter and even recently, I’ve received calls from students and clients regarding their children’s coughs. I wrote on the subject two years ago, but I thought it warranted another run since so many could benefit. Here is the same article and the most succinct method I know for treating croup at home, without drugs, without angst and often without a return performance.

Croup is a respiratory infection accompanied by a harsh, barking cough. Most common in very young children, croup frightens parents because it sounds as if the child can’t catch his breath. This viral infection leads to swelling that constricts the respiratory passages causing very loud breathing sounds. Croup should be carefully watched, and emergency care sought if breathing is too labored, but a parent armed with a little homeopathic know-how and common horse sense can successfully treat croup at home.

A Salute to Ignatia Real Medicine for Post-Traumatic Stress and More

Salute to SUN

This Memorial Day, in honor of our veterans, active-duty service members, the families of those who serve and of those we have lost to battle; I want to highlight one of the most useful weapons in our arsenal of homeopathic remedies … Ignatia amara, the ultimate post-traumatic stress medicine.

(I’m using the “weapons” parallel not only because of today’s military theme but also because the handy red box, below, that holds our 100 remedies kit, was originally designed for storing bullets … I like to think of each little vial of pills as ammo against ill health!) (more…)


Measles!

I posted this blog in 2013, after the story broke of a church congregation in Texas that had a high concentration of measles among its unvaccinated members. I have never seen a follow-up. Has anyone?

“A measles outbreak in Ohio has reached 68 cases, giving the state the dubious distinction of having the most cases reported in any state since 1996, health officials say.” USAToday.com, May 13, 2014.

Stories of outbreaks and epidemics always strike fear in the public, and that is when the walls begin to rise between the vaccinated and unvaccinated camps.

Yes, there are rare situations in which children die from complications from diseases such as measles, and of course, no one wants to see their children suffer with illness.

But isn’t it possible that we have traded what was once a normal childhood disease for chronic conditions that, until this vaccinated generation, were never seen in children?

You know … illnesses such as cancer, autism, Asperger’s and such.

I had measles. So did all my friends and relatives. We survived. And so did our mothers.

They weren’t scared out of their wits by those who declared it a dangerous disease. Everyone just simply got it and got over it. (more…)


7 Undeniable Reasons for Moms to Know How to Cure the Family Themselves

Last Sunday when my family came over for our usual Sunday dinner, something occurred to me that I’d like to share with you.

My father, who’s in his late 80s complained that he was coming down with a doozy of a cold. He was chilled and achy.

I gave him Hepar sulphuris calcareum 200C and Sanguinaria canadensis 200C
mixed together in a little water.

This is one of my favorite homeopathic combinations that I learned from the Banerjis for onset of a cold with these symptoms.  I wrapped a blanket around him and merrily got on to preparing the roast potatoes in lard without another thought of it. (more…)


Homeopathic Investing

Homeopathic Remedies

Question: I’ve heard you say that owning homeopathic remedies is an investment, but is it safe to ignore expiration dates on the vials of remedies I purchased years ago? Don’t the remedies lose their effectiveness?

Reply: Yes, it’s safe, and no, remedies don’t lose their effectiveness! Allow me to illustrate:

While doing research for my first book years ago, I frequented the University of Buffalo’s Medical Library, where they archived homeopathy medical books and remedy kits used in Buffalo homeopathic hospitals from the 1800s to 1940s.

One of those days, while in the throes of my exploration in an old section of the library, I contracted a monumental headache, likely from the moldy and dusty surroundings. (more…)


He Bit Me! Homeopathy Cures Animal Bites

Angry Cat

Bridget rescued her cat from a couple of marauding dogs. When she picked up the panicky cat, he instinctively attacked. He bit deeply through her hand in two places and scratched her badly. Uh-oh!

Not knowing about homeopathy, she went to the hospital, where she was given antibiotics and sent on her way. They told her to take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for the pain and swelling.

The following day, Bridget’s hand was red, very sore, swollen and stiff. The analgesics were not helping. A nurse friend handed her two bottles: Hypericum perforatum 200C and Arsenicum 200C and she instructed her to take one dose of each within a few minutes of each other. (more…)


Impetigo Treated With Homeopathy Puts Out the Fire

It looks scary (and a little gross), but it’s not something to panic about!

Impetigo is a contagious skin condition that is usually caused by staphylococcus aureus bacteria (and more rarely, in tropical regions, by streptococcus).

It is very common in children and often spreads throughout schools. The small, red bumps turn into pustules that break and ooze and are just generally yucky. (more…)
