Homeopathy and Catholicism: Saintly and Wholesome Medicine

Years ago, I spent four weeks visiting a cloistered convent to instruct the sisters on how to use homeopathy. Mother Superior, as well as other members, had been my clients for some years when they asked if I could teach them some basics in homeopathy enough to rely on it on their own.

Other convents across the U.S. and in distant areas of the world such as Africa and India have also asked my advice, and many times, I sent a homeopathy kit and my book to boost their often already well-established knowledge of homeopathy.

Indeed, several Catholic priests have been my clients. One exceptional one, who influenced me probably more profoundly than I him, married my husband and me years after our civil marriage and later baptized our sons.

In each case, I gave the gift of homeopathy. In turn, they gave me a deeper connection to my faith. (more…)

Protocol for Lyme Disease Using Homeopathy

 

If you don’t believe that homeopathy can uproot Lyme disease, this week’s blog is not for you.

But if you’re like me and know that homeopathy has cured the likes of cholera, dysentery, mono, strep, influenza and other such infective illnesses, then read on, and I’ll share with you what I have learned and used regarding homeopathy and Lyme. (more…)

Ooh! Ooh! Cardoons!

What would it be like if you had a garden that yielded abundant food but required no care? What if the vegetables it offered were loaded with nutrition, and you didn’t even need to pull weeds around it or feed it compost?

Sound too good to be true? Au contraire! In the spring, I rarely buy any vegetables and instead meander over to my beloved patch of burdock.

As Italian-Americans, we called them cardoons. (more…)

Homeopathy Cures Croup as Easy as 1-2-3

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

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…)
