Do you clamor for simple, inexpensive, cartel-free medicine? …….Medicine of the values of old? 
I did. But it wasn’t until after suffering from chronic fatigue, debilitating allergies and anxiety attacks, that I found this genuine medicine. How unlike my ancestors, I was!
My Sicilian grandmothers believed you went to the hospital to die. They birthed their babies at home, treated colds and flu’s with a good dose of sweat, sleep and garlic and nursed their big families through many ills without the aid of doctors, clinics, hospitals and drugs.
As for me, after relying too long on modern day McMedicine, I finally grasped that drugs dole out detrimental side effects that made me sick.
The reason for this is that they suppress our body’s ability to address the problem and drive the disease to a deeper level.
What hypocrites!
Yes, conventional drugs cause illness instead of removing it.
So, how could I re-gain robust health and confidently treat my family, while avoiding the dangers of drugs?
The answer was simple.
I learned homeopathy.
I came to this by way of my illness and I finally realized that the only person looking out for my family and me is Me!
The human body is a miraculous machine. It’s capable of great resilience and healing ability, often in spite of our abuses. Once I experienced the gentle, yet powerful curative action of homeopathy, I was hooked.
At first, I learned enough to treat my family with homeopathy and then I committed to going to school to become a homeopath.
Now I’ve been helping others for over 16 years, I’ve been able to bring robust health to my family and teach others how to do the same.
We’re a drug-free family. No, I don’t mean we sometimes use them, I mean that my family of 5 has never ever used an antibiotic, analgesics or any other allopathic drug in over 24 years!
Bronchitis? No problem: Antimonium tart.
Knee injury? Why, it’s just Arnica montana.
Flu? Oscillococcinum.
It’s often that easy.
I want all moms to be hooked! Because whoever you are, you too, can cure your family with homeopathy.
And you will not be alone. Homeopathy is used throughout the world by millions: doctors, hospitals, monasteries, moms at home and all those are who tired of medications that only and most certainly cause further ailments.
So what is homeopathy? It’s a well-established form of medicine, dating back to an 18th century. It’s based on the principle called the “Law of Similars”, that “like heals like”.
It’s simple. If a substance, poison ivy, for example, causes a certain type of rash for a healthy person, then homeopathic poison ivy, Rhus tox (which is a highly diluted and concussed version), can bring about a cure for a sick person who is experiencing a similar rash. So, it’s a perfect choice for similar illnesses such as chicken pox or an eczematous rash.
Like heals like.
The compelling premise behind homeopathy is that there is a mechanism in each of us which is capable of coming to balance if given the correct stimulus. This is achieved by using a homeopathic remedy that is chosen not for the disease, but rather the person who is experiencing the disease.
Homeopathy treats the individual and not the pathology.
Symptoms are the outward expression on the inner disease; hence, symptoms are of value in determining the remedy. And once the symptoms are gathered, a remedy is chosen using the symptoms as indicators. You don’t treat the symptoms. You don’t manage illness, you resolve it.
Another way to put it? You cure the person. You uproot the propensity for the return of the illness.
Moreover, it’s inexpensive medicine.
So, if you pride yourself in being frugal, tenacious and autonomous, if you love being in control of taking care of your family’s well being, if you get a thrill out of learning a skill that will serve you and your family for generations, then this medicine, called homeopathy, is the method of care for you.
I have too much information to keep to myself.
Stay close by and I’ll teach as much as I can about what I’ve learned.
If you’re just starting out with homeopathy, you’ve probably discovered just how well it brings swift relief to injuries and illnesses. But don’t stop there!
Did you know about two easy cell salts, which when combined, help the weakened body during convalescence?
Calc phos 6x and Ferr phos 6x are two remedies, which do amazing work after an illness has taken its toll. They rebuild, replenish and rejuvenate!
I like to recommend taking them together in water. Drop 4 pellets of each, together in 4 ounces of water. Take a sip (approx. 1 tsp), every 3-4 hours, for several days after an illness. Keep this aqueous solution nearby in a glass bottle or mug but they may also be taken by simply tossing 3-4 pills in the mouth until they dissolve.
Either way, it works in the same fashion…..by restoring wellness to its full capacity.
Is this eczema resolved or is it suppressed? This is an important distinction that is not considered in modern medicine. In homeopathy, however, it is a critical one. Homeopathy approaches health from a different position than modern medicine does. It sees the use of drugs as an impediment to the well being of the human.
When a drug, such as cortisone or other creams, is applied, the pathology still remains and only the outer experience or appearance is addressed. However, the disease not only remains, but is driven deeper into the essence of the person. In other words, the illness isn’t cured; it becomes subterranean.
On a practical level, what does this mean? Well, it is no mystery that eczema and asthma are keenly connected. They are both pathologies of epithelial cells that have been exposed to outside elements. Hence, the skin and lungs are not only similar, but are mirror representations of each other. So, when cortisone, or the like, is applied to the skin, eczema recedes after a time and lung issues, such as asthma, bronchitis, etc. often appear. This means that when we suppress an illness on the skin, we’re trading it for a disease of the lungs that can be life threatening. The trade is a less serious illness for a more sobering one. Not a sound choice.
In the world of homeopathy with its proven laws of health, the homeopath works to assist the person’s ability to resolve the illness with a gentle stimulus from the remedy. Instead of slamming the sufferer with a new more potent illness, the remedy gently nudges the sufferer’s ability to resolve the pathology on his/her own.
Consider the woman who had been suffering from eczema that included cracking of the skin, relentless itching at night and inability to use her hands for her daily work. The reason she chose homeopathy was because it had worked so well for her children and husband for other illnesses. This eruption wasn’t resolved in very short order. In fact, it took months. However, during that period of time, other areas of discomfort were also resolved.
The remedy chosen for this undeniable transformation was Mezerium. It is specific for eruptions in a “stocking-glove” distribution on hands and feet. It relates to skin that is cracking and even patterned in a geometric fashion. There can also be corresponding pain in the bones. There is a sensitivity to touch with anxiety and irritability as common concomitants.
Until her hands were cleared, the young mother used nothing over the counter or prescribed. For centuries, homeopaths have known that the only acceptable thing to go on the skin is from the kitchen. That is, if the product can’t be fully eaten, it does not belong on the skin. Lard, unsalted butter, plain yogurt, coconut oil and olive oil are examples of acceptable skin creams. Unpronounceable ingredients don’t belong inor on our body.
All skin difficulties, such as eczema, psoriasis, warts, acne and the like are outward pathologies that represent the inner health of the person. If driven inward, it has been shown that the pathology will become a more profound infirmity. Hence, eczema that is suppressed with drugs of commerce may inspire asthma to follow.
For true skin and subterranean health, choose homeopathy. It is not superficial or of questionable safety. Indeed, it offers the vigor of clear, glowing skin that everyone deserves.
Traveling by plane soon? Don’t let jet lag put a damper on your long-awaited vacation or family gathering.
I like to recommend the following protocol to my clients and students. It’s worked wonders for them, so pack your bags and take these remedies along.
The trick is to combine the following 5 remedies together in about 4 ounces of water. One sip (approximately 1 tsp.), every 2-3 hours upon arrival of your destination, is the way this little combo remedy is taken.
Here it is:
Arnica 6x
Cocculus 6x
Kali phos 6x
Nux vomica 6x
Passiflora 6x
If you don’t have these remedies in a 6x potency, you can use 12 x or 12 c as well as 30x or 30c potencies for all of them except for Kali phos. Kali phos should only be used in the 6x or 6c potency for this protocol.
If you are unable to obtain all of these remedies, at least use Arnica, Kali phos and Passiflora.
I confidently wish you “Bon Voyage!”
This protocol is solely intended to provide a format in assisting the student in learning the principals of Homeopathy. It is in no way to be considered a substitute for a consultation with a health professional
This lovely recipe is based on the flourless cakes that have become so popular in high-end restaurants. (See my Chocolate Buttercream Frosting Recipe below!) It is rich, satisfying and doesn’t seem like a substitute cake at all. It’s become my family’s favorite birthday cake.
The main ingredient may surprise you.
Beans!
Here's what you do:
Soak 2 cups dry of white beans overnight in double the amount of water.
Next day, rinse well and cook until tender.
(You might have a little more than 2 cups once they’ve been hydrated and cooked, but only use 2 cups.)
Cool to room temperature and add the following to a food processor and puree well:
Add:
Puree again
Pour into spring form pan, lined with unbleached parchment paper, well oiled with butter or coconut oil.
Bake at 325 degrees for about 30 minutes. I like to check to see if it's done by inserting a toothpick into the middle. If it comes out mostly clean, it's done.
(Cupcakes take about 20-22 minutes)
Chocolate Butter Cream Frosting
In a food processor add the following:
When the cake has fully cooled, smooth on the frosting. Keep refrigerated.
Enjoy!
It’s that time of year when our lives are in full swing. Each day is packed with dance classes, soccer practices, weekend activities, grocery shopping, oh! The list goes on and on.
We end up following the daily planner to the “T” just to be sure that everything gets done.
If you’re like me, marking your calendar with the remedies you and your family might, need keeps life a bit more tidy.
One way to be sure that we take our homeopathic remedies, is to carry them along with us; they are great for on-the-go!
A fabulous purse, utilitarian back pack or diaper bag…..these all work just fine.
Carry them either as dry pills or in water. I like to put my cell salts in a glass water bottle, label it and take it with me. That way, if it’s in the car, at school, or out shopping, I can always have my remedy handy, if needed.
The one I usually take along is Calc fluor 6x. It’s great for strengthening teeth, keeping wrinkles from forming and nails hard.
How do you keep your remedies close by?
Kvass. It might be new to the store shelves, but it’s actually an age-old beverage, hailing from Russia and it’s lip-smacking good.
Years ago, I discovered Kvass (Russian for “leaven”) and it definitely raises the bar. Here’s a drink that takes the simplest ingredients and transforms them into a refreshing drink, but what’s more, a healing elixir, too. All starting with bread and water, or beets and salt.
With a simple fermentation process involving sourdough or sourdough rye bread, glucuronic acid is produced. If you’ve never hear of this-don’t worry. All you need to know is that your liver makes this acid, too. It gathers up toxins and poisons and evicts them from your body.
So, after a glass of Kvass, your body gets a boost of glucuronic acid and can really accelerate the detoxification process.
It’s typically flavored with fruits, such as apples and raspberries or vegetables like beets. I highly recommend you add it to your shopping list or better yet-make it yourself and follow in ancient footsteps when you craft and enjoy this detoxifying drink.
To our health! Or as the Russians say, “На здоровье!”
Here’s a great recipe to try from Sally Fallon’s Nourishing Traditions (page 595):
You’ll need:
4-5 slices whole grain sourdough bread
2 quarts filtered water
¼ cup whey
2 teaspoons sea salt
½ cup raisins
2 apples, peeled and quartered
“Place bread in warm oven until dried out. Place in a large bowl. Bring water to a boil and pour over bread. Let cool before adding sale and whey. Cover and leave at room temperature for 2-3 days. Remove bread and strain into a 2-quart container. Add raisins and apples, cover tightly and store in refrigerator for about 1 month before drinking. Kvass is ready when the fruit floats-a sign that sufficient lactic acid has been produced.”
I designed it especially to provide a framework to guide you through your remedy choices. It is perfect for busy mothers and others who love curing their families themselves.
