Evelyn was a beautiful, active senior who prided herself on being a snappy dresser. But she hadn’t worn shorts in decades because she was self-conscious about her varicose veins. As we age, many of us develop colorful, protruding veins, but Evelyn’s appeared early and abundantly.
The venous grouping she hated the most was on her thigh — a vivid tangle of blood vessels that resembled a Gordian knot (and had been equally impossible to resolve).
Until homeopathy.
At 96 years old, Evelyn had a slight stroke. Luckily, there was no paralysis or loss of speech, but it was concerning nonetheless. Her caregiver (her daughter) was a student of mine at the time, so she asked Evelyn if she’d be interested in trying homeopathy.
What an interesting conversation ensued!
It turns out that when Evelyn was a youngster in Boston in the 1920s and 30s, a homeopath lived down the street from her family. When little Evie got sick, her mother would take her to the homeopath — not a pediatrician, not urgent care, not the emergency room. The neighborhood homeopath was the first line of defense against Evelyn’s childhood ills.
So much time had passed since she last took homeopathy that she’d almost forgotten about it. However, needless to say, Evelyn was excited about returning to something that had been such a reliable comfort to her nearly a century before.
Varicose veins are no match for homeopathy.
So, her daughter began administering the Banerji Protocol for vascular issues: Hamamelis virginiana 200C mixed with Arnica montana 3C, twice daily. They were hopeful that this protocol — this clinically successful combination of medicines — would nudge Evelyn’s vascular system back to homeostasis and discourage future strokes and TIAs.
It worked.
Yet, something surprising happened.
One day, as Evelyn dressed, she looked down at her leg with big, round, shocked eyes and yelled to her daughter, “What have you been giving me?”
Okay, I imagine panic probably ensued for a brief moment. But luckily, Evelyn quickly followed up with, “My varicose vein cluster is almost gone! I’ve had that awful spot for almost my entire life! Did homeopathy do that?”
Why, yes, Evelyn. Yes, it did!
The Banerji Protocol for vascular issues is also their go-to protocol for varicose veins. Let’s face it: Varicose veins are vascular issues every bit as much as brain clots or microbleeds.
One protocol, two benefits!
Not only did Hamamelis 200C mixed with Arnica 3C help with Evelyn’s post-stroke condition, but it also resolved her technicolor varicose veins.
Just think of that, my friends. The most pressing benefit of this protocol may have been invisible, but an ancillary benefit was evident to all. The varicose veins were retracing in size and severity almost daily until they virtually disappeared.
Of course, this didn’t happen overnight; it took many months. But the joy on Evelyn’s face was worth it all. She had re-experienced the joy a tangible homeopathic success can bring. (Now, if only she had some brightly colored new shorts to show off her new legs.)
We all know that synthetic pharmaceuticals of commerce carry side effects — undesirable side effects. But I guess we could consider that homeopathy has a few “side effects” of its own — desirable side effects — namely, working with the body as a whole to resolve related conditions as well as the chief complaint.
That’s a side effect we can endorse!
Indeed, this is the medicine you’ve always wanted from your doctors and pharmacists. Homeopathy is a gentle, polite, efficacious, relatively safe medicine formulated to adhere to stringent manufacturing standards from natural materials found on earth.
