Pinkeye, Conjunctivitis and Homeopathy

“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…)

Croup? Bronchitis? Arthritis? Herbs Helped but Homeopathy Healed

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.

I was ready. (more…)

Ear Infections, Antibiotics and the Gut

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…)

Consider the Dangers of Vitamin K Shot at Birth: And the Simple Solution

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…)

Antibiotics Are Bulldozers Causing Reflux Colic, Etc. — Homeopathy Cures.

Gandhi said, “Homeopathy is the most refined method of treating patients economically and non-violently.”

My family and I live on 15 acres in the Boston Hills of New York where we built our house and pond. We laid out our land to keep chickens, ducks and bees and to raise our family. I’ve experienced the anticipation and thrill of watching a bulldozer reshape the earth to our family’s needs.

In taking on this project, we knew there was a good deal at stake if we uprooted a spring or dismantled a stand of apple trees, so we learned as much as possible on the subject before permitting the powerful bulldozer to rearrange our land.

Antibiotics are like a bulldozer. They rearrange our insides. Just as we knew that our decision in 1994 would impact the terrain even today, so must we consider what an antibiotic can leave in its wake decades, even a lifetime, later. (more…)
