Edu-Tip!
Do you know those pretty yellow flowers that look like dandelions from a distance; the ones that are the first to pop up in the spring? Well, be sure you know what you’re picking, but, they are called Coltsfoot and they come just as spring bronchitis appears. When the flowers are at their peak, pop off the blossoms, fill a jar with the flowers and pour 80-proof vodka to the top of the jar. Devil’s Spring is a convenient brand. Allow this to set for a fortnight (as they say in the old botanical texts). After this 2 week period, you may decant and use as an effective natural cough treatments. If corked tightly, it will last for years.
To use for coughs draw up 10-20 drops into a pipette and drop into 4 ounces of water. This dose is administered every few hours or so. It is much less expensive on the body and the pocket book than antiquated antibiotics. It’s effective and carries no questionable properties. Just like your own homemade soup……your own homemade medicine!
The best way to beat cancer and other chronic illness is to prevent it in the first place. And the methods aren’t that difficult to accomplish if we stay within reasonable guidelines that have been followed throughout the ages. At first some of these proposals may seem daunting, but once you analyze them, you’ll surely find that many of the suggestions are already a part of your daily habit. Take on a few new ones right away and resolve to complete the rest of the list over a period of a few months or so.
29) Absolutely no lawn sprays. Instead simply toss grass seed on the lawn on a regular basis and give it a neat edge cut around it. It makes for a lush and tidy lawn. Lawn sprays are made from lethal derivatives of Agent Orange used in Viet Nam. Just in case you’re too young to know, the use of these neuro toxins resulted in our soldiers returning with remarkable numbers of chronic illness, cancer and early deaths.
30) In relation to pesticides, no insecticides either! Carpenter ants are best dealt with by finding their source…wet, rotted wood. Once you find their nest, you’ll be grateful they pointed the way. They only live in these conditions and you need to find it anyway. Then replace the wood, clean out the nest and pour boric acid mixed 50/50 with powdered sugar. It will kill those that remain and the sugar will attract them to complete the job. Fire ants and other insects can be exterminated with a pot of boiling hot water poured on the infestation.
31) Throw out your microwave. Use your stove top, oven, toaster oven or crock pot instead. It has been shown that micro-waved foods rearrange the chemical constituents of food. A landmark law suit in 1991 provided evidence that microwaving can cause a health threat. Norma Levitt was killed when the blood used for her transfusion, was warmed in a microwave by a nurse!

Number 8.) Prepare your own meals. This means nothing from a box. If you’re reading labels, you’ve already made the wrong selection. Buy plain chicken, fresh broccoli, a head of lettuce, fresh eggs, and butter. At least start by making your own salad dressings.

Surgery. We love it; we hate it. It can be life threatening and it can be life saving. In the world of homeopathy, it's a measure that we try to avoid as oft as possible since homeopathy often has the ability to eliminate the need for it. However, there are times in which it is inevitable and so homeopathy is still there in the ready.
The surgical protocol that will be discussed is both pre and post operative and is accepted world wide by homeopathic physicians. It is also the protocol used in homeopathic hospitals in the Netherlands, India, England and South America and was a mainstay of American hospitals until relatively recently.
Homeopathy is a two hundred year old medical method. In the US, it was considered a mainstay of 40% of the doctors and hospitals until the 1940's. It's demise came as a result of political in-fighting between medical factions, but today it is making a comeback in the US while it continues to thrive in Europe and India. It has the reputation for dealing with the most rigorous post surgical settings in short order.
The most important aspect of the protocol is that the advice of a homeopathic consultant be attained throughout the process. This is valuable since there are situations in which the educated voice of experience is necessary. At such a tentative period in someone's life, situations can change rapidly.
The protocol is as follows:
Arnica montana 200c given morning and night on the day before surgery. Then repeated the morning of and just before being wheeled into the operating room. What is the purpose? Arnica montana has a reputation for keeping infection at bay, minimizing the shock to the system, reducing swelling, minimizing the possibility of hemorrhages and putting the patient at ease. This should be repeated as soon as possible after surgery and administered every 2-3 hours from that time on until consciousness is revived, then repeated as often as required to eliminate pain. If pain is persistent, it indicates the need for more frequent repetition, perhaps every hour or two. If the pain is still a problem, Hypericum 200 should be considered an alternate so that Arnica is administered say, every even hour and Hypericum every odd hour.
Sometimes, other remedies are required, such as Staphysagria 200 for wound pain and Nux vomica for nausea from the anesthetic. Phosphorus also comes into use as a powerful remedy for headaches and difficulty withdrawing from the anesthetic. This is when the experience of a well educated homeopath is best employed, whether in person or on the phone.
If the American surgeon was reacquainted with the methods of his predecessors and European counterparts who so deftly understand the value of homeopathy, the rates of post surgical problems would be greatly minimized. Why is this no longer common protocol? To shorten a very long story; it has more to do with the pharmaceutical industry's profit margins and how they have successfully infiltrated the education of doctors and hospitals. Quarterly margins should not come in the way of you or your loved one's surgical recovery and well being.
It's important to know that homeopathic remedies can never interfere with conventional drugs. This includes the ingestion before surgery. For obvious reasons, it is advisable to not take food or drink before surgery, but the melting of three tiny pills for each dose doesn't fall into this category. Homeopathy is safe, gentle, curative, noninvasive and compatible.
The next time you or someone you love is faced with surgery, talk with your homeopath first, then if surgery is certain, work with your homeopath and follow the protocol utilized by homeopathic hospitals and physicians throughout the world. Then your world will be a be better place for it.
Such unsettling and uncomfortable emotions. They're unbecoming, painful and oh so unnecessary. Yet, sometimes they get such a grip on us.
Katherine was a retired librarian of 50 and was just entering menopause when she found herself experiencing envy every time she went to her in sister-law's house. Her sister-in law was thin, had a beautiful home and a fascinating career. Katherine actually liked her, but just couldn't resist the sensation of envy, jealousy and sometimes hatred. Katherine had nothing to be jealous about. She had three beautiful children, a loving husband and a house to be proud of. Nonetheless it became a struggle to visit her in-laws. Yet, she had not always been this way.
Of late, Katherine was also experiencing hot flashes that woke her most mornings and a restricting sensation in her throat. Her familiar old contentment was replaced by these menacing emotions and sensations. Her neighbor had recently mentioned that she had seen a homeopath for her menopausal symptoms of wakefulness and hot flashes and that she has been free of them since. So, Katherine thought she'd give it a try.
When Katherine listed all of her symptom at their first meeting, the homeopath explained that her indications of hot flashes and throat sensations were related to her plaguing thoughts. Because homeopathy views the person as a whole, it was important that these be considered. “You mean my thoughts are considered symptoms”, she queried? The homeopath explained that if her thoughts were balanced they would not be considered part of the illness, only characteristics. However, when our thinking is askew and our thoughts become plaguing, then they must be considered out of balance. This made sense to Katherine because she certainly felt her thinking had gone haywire and hoped to retrieve her old comfortable and confident self. Could a remedy do this? She looked forward to the process.
The remedy chosen was Lachesis. Within the first week, Katherine's hot flashes abated. The following week, she noted that her sleep was restored. But most remarkable of all was that just before she returned for her visit to the homeopath, she realized that the jealousy was gone. “I mean really gone!” she emphasized. In fact she and her sister in-law had been out to lunch and she was looking forward to their next planned outing. Instead of envy, she wanted to learn as much from her as she could. She wanted to know how she kept her figure so slim and how she chose such a beautiful color for her dining room. These questions represented a different thought process that was no longer ugly, menacing. This is they way Katherine used to approach life. The more Katherine thought about it, the more significant the changes appeared to be.
Katherine felt balanced and repaired. No side effects, no covering up of symptoms, no postponement of the issues. Just back to normal. Now this is medicine of a different sort. Homeopathy, medicine of integrity and promise.
In recent years a profound shift in thinking about health and medicine has emerged. The public is clamoring for medicine that makes sense. The intelligent person asks the questions“ If orthodox medicine were really effective why do heart disease and cancer effect so many people when only two generations or so ago they were rare? Why are classrooms filled with asthmatic and ADT children?” These illnesses were an unusual occurrence. Arising from these kinds of questions is a trend toward a more holistic viewpoint. The underlining concept in holism is that each of us is an integrated whole. That is, we’re not fragmented into separate parts each carrying a specific illness or diagnostic category.
Make sure you and your family are protected from winter illness by insuring the right homeopathic cell salts are a mainstay of their daily regimen. Instead of multivitamins that can cause an imbalance of nutrients, look to Bioplasma made by Hylands. Four little pills 1-3 times daily will ensure a high level nutrient intake and since it’s homeopathically prepared, it’s gentle.
