Homeopathy And Flu Epidemics

The influenza pandemic of 1918-1919 killed more people than the Great War, known today as World War I (WWI), at somewhere between 20 and 40 million people. It has been cited as the most devastating epidemic in recorded world history. More people died of influenza in a single year than in four-years of the Black Death Bubonic Plague from 1347 to 1351. Known as "Spanish Flu" or "La Grippe" the influenza of 1918-1919 was a global disaster. Influenza constitutes the most widespread and significant respiratory infectious disease in the world, resulting in increased morbidity, mortality and economic loss each epidemic year. Pandemic influenza is a worldwide epidemic usually caused by a new virus variant to which the majority of the population has no immunity.

A pandemic virus may infect 30 to 50% of the world?s population and kill 1 to 2% of those infected. Pandemic control must be a concerted and co-ordinate world strategy and under the auspices of the World Health Organization. Pandemic preparedness plans have been formulated, including: intensified surveillance for more rapid identification of new reassortant viruses with potential human virulence and infectivity, laboratory characterization of the new viruses so that vaccine may be prepared, development of techniques for more rapid vaccine production and the manufacture and stock piling of antiviral drugs. Perhaps the most recent use of homeopathy in a major epidemic was during the Influenza Pandemic of 1918.

The Journal of the American Institute for Homeopathy, May 1921, had a long article about the use of homeopathy in the flu epidemic. Dr. T A McCann, from Dayton, Ohio reported that 24,000 cases of flu treated allopathically had a mortality rate of 28.2% while 26,000 cases of flu treated homeopathically had a mortality rate of 1.05%. This last figure was supported by Dean W.A. Pearson of Philadelphia (Hahnemann College) who collected 26,795 cases of flu treated with homeopathy with the above result.

The most common remedy used was Gelsemium, with occasional cases needing Bryonia and Eupatorium reported. Dr. Herbert A. Roberts from Derby, CT, said that 30 physicians in Connecticut responded to his request for data. They reported 6,602 cases with 55 deaths, which is less than 1%. Dr. Roberts was working as a physician on a troop ship during WWI. He had 81 cases of flu on the way over to Europe. He reported, "All recovered.

The following substances are some of most often prescribed by Homeopaths:

Gelsemium, Zincum Gluconicum, Zincum Metallicum, Aconitum napelus, Eupatorium perfoliatum, Sulphur, Phosphorus, Asclepias vincetoxicum, Influenzinum,Anas barbariae hepatis and cordis extractum.

The above named substances are manufactured in FDA approved facility under Good Manufacturing Practice, as Homeopathy is more regulated than herbal supplements.

Next to the name of the substance is a number followed by an X or by CH. For example Sulphur 1X indicates that the mineral has been diluted at 1 part per ten. A 2X has been diluted at 1 part per 10 then re diluted at one part per ten.

CH indicates a dilution at one part per 100. 1 CH = 1/100, 2 CH the 1CH has been re diluted a second time (CH stand for centesimal Hahnemanien by the name of the inventor of Homeopathy Samuel Hahnemann).

While the scientific evidence is open to discussion millions of users worldwide have used homeopathy during flu epidemics without side effects.

Facing the risk of a pandemic, emerging new viral strain with resistance to antiviral medications it is urgent to evaluate the medical and economical benefit of Homeopathy as an adjunct to established Flu treatments.

Many formulas exist on the market, which combine several homeopathic substances realizing a Homeopathic antiviral cocktail, they do not require a prescription and are affordable.

I created such a formula in 2000 based on my 17 years experience in Homeopathy the formula is called Flu Terminator?.

? Gelsemium 3X (a dilution of Yellow Jasmine) Influenza, fever, chills

? Zincum Gluconicum 3X (a dilution of Zinc Gluconicum) Flu, fever

? Zincum Metallicum 3X (a dilution of Zinc Metallicum) Flu, fever

? Aconitum napelus 4X (a dilution of Monkshood) Influenza, fever, inflammation

? Eupatorium perfoliatum 4X (a dilution of Thoroughwort) Influenza, coryza, fever

? Sulphur 4X (Dilution of the mineral Sulfur) Fever, Cold

? Phosphorus 5X (Dilution of Phosphorus) Fever, Cold, Chills

? Asclepias vincetoxicum 6X (Dilution of vincetoxicum) Antiviral

? Influenzinum 12X (a safe dilution of the inactivated and sterilized virus of influenza) Fever, Flu, Viral infection

? Anas barbariae hepatis and cordis extractum 200 K (The ingredient of OscollicocinumTM the leading product of the Boiron Laboratories) indicated for flu and fever

Our feedback has been extremely positive among patients and physicians, however a study is necessary to confirm the impression.

How to loose weight with Homeopathy and the .4 C's?

Homeopathy is a therapeutic modality practiced worldwide.

It was founded by Dr. Samuel Christian Hahnemann; in 1755 in Germany. Homeopathy uses many substances including herbals, minerals and animal substances.

At the begining of Homeopathy only one substance was selected according to the patient symptoms (classical Homeopathy), nowadays many Homeopaths and manufacturers use more than one substance together.

In Classical Homeopathy, the selection of "The remedy" is based on a lengthy interview which takes in consideration, physical and mental symptoms; while we can give Tylenol to 100 persons suffering from Headache in Homeopathy the type of the headache, the localization front, temples, occiput will correspond to different substances, as well as the triggering factor, trauma, change of weather and emotional disturbances will influence the selection of a remedy.

A consultation with a classical Homeopath is lengthy and may cost several hundred dollars.

Homeopathy is extremely difficult as it takes in consideration much more data than standard medical therapies, it is also highly individualized.

Innovative physicians have mixed several substances together at the great rage of the classical homeopaths and cal them combination remedy for example a combination of substances for frontal headaches, lateral headaches and occipital headache (back of the head) could be called headache and supposed to cure headaches whatever their localization.

While that assumption is not always verified, combination have greatly contributed to the democratization of homeopathy by allowing patients with modest financial resources to experience Homeopathy.

Many combinations have demonstrated clinical results while some others are ineffective because of their inappropriate arrangement.

Homeopathy uses dilutions of substances and some dilutions are more effective than others and it takes experience and dedication to harmonize a good formula, as some substances antagonize each other or are not compatible.

Some homeopathic medicine are made of poisons and their dilution and level is strictly regulated , for example in Homeopathy small doses of snake venoms, arsenic or bee venom among thousand of other substances are used.

Regarding weight management: The risks of overweight may soon cause as much disease and death as cigarette smoking.25% of the population in the United States is obese and many other countries are following the trend. An overweight or obese adult is determined by body mass index (BMI), defined as follows: Weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters or as weight in pounds multiplied by 705 and then divided twice by height in inches. A BMI of between 25 and 29.9 indicates that an individual is overweight, whereas an obese adult has a BMI of 30 or higher. Multiple pharmacological solutions are available however many of them have side effects and are costly; the side effects of synthetic drugs are the fifth cause of death in the USA.

Several substances have been described in the Homeopathic literature to be of value:

- Fucus vesiculosus Sea kelp which is known to be rich in iodine has been suggested for the management of overweight it is also helpful for constipation. - Phytolacca an herbaceous plant which young shoots can be eaten boiled wild pigeons and other birds which eats the berries lose their fat - Thuja occidentalis Arbor Vitae is proposed by the homeopaths for fat deposition as well as many conditions when the body seems to be producing excessive tissues (warts, fibroma, lipoma) - Graphites A dilution of black lead it is a good medication according to Homeopathy for skin infection and patients which gain weight easily - It is used in very small dose similar to trace-elements. Sulphur A mineral which in Homeopathic dilution stimulates the metabolism and helps thermogenesis and weight loss

Several other Homeopathic substances have been showed to have a potential for weight management.

I include an homeopathic formula to my weight management with the 4 C's

Change Control Cleanse Caloric reduction

Change: Use smaller plates, eat with the non dominant hand, do not read or watch TV while eating, chew every bite twenty time, consult an hypnotherapist if necessary.

Control: With the right Homeopathic remedy or a good combination

Cleanse: Drink water, exercise, use sauna, massages, colonics and some herbal remedies promoting liver and renal elimination. All the above can mobilize the accumulation of toxic substances in the body.

Caloric Reduction: Green leafy vegetables and Fruits with high ORAC value and low calories and sugar content.

While results vary and clinical studies should be done to scientifically demonstrate anecdotal results such a protocol has tremendous potential and no therapeutic risks.

There is always time to explore affordable and gentle therapies it is my opinion that they should be considered before costly and risky surgical procedures.

What is Homeopathy?

What is Homeopathy?

 by: Cori Young

Homeopathy is a non-toxic system of medicine used to treat a wide variety of health concerns.

It is based on the Law of Similars and potentization. Basically, the Law of Similars is the premise that because exposure to a given substance can cause specific symptoms in someone who is healthy, then that substance given as a homeopathic remedy will stimulate the bodys own curative powers to overcome similar symptoms during illness.

A common example used to describe this effect is that of the person chopping an onion ~ When a healthy person chops an onion they usually get watery eyes, and a a runny nose. They may even experience sneezing or coughing, from exposure to the active substances in the onion.

The homeopathic remedy, Allium cepa, made of potentized red onion, can help the body overcome a cold or allergy attack in which the person has similar symptoms (watery eyes, runny nose, sneezing, coughing.)

Even though the symptoms were not caused by exposure to an onion, the remedy made from the onion can help the body overcome them, because the symptoms are similar.

Is Homeopathy Effective?

Millions of people have used homeopathic remedies to treat every conceivable type of ailment and symptom. Despite misconceptions, homeopathy is just as scientific as allopathic medicine.

Homeopathy does not base its effectiveness on animal experiments which have little relevance to humans, and prescribing is not based on empirical, or accidental discovery of effects, but on a rational, systematic observation of the effects of remedies on healthy and sick people.

What are the Advantages of Homeopathy?

SAFETY

Homeopathy enjoys an excellent reputation in part because it is given in such minute doses that it can be safely used to treat anyone. Pregnant women, new born babies, children and weak or elderly people may all use the appropriate dosages of homeopathic remedies without dangerous side effects. Homeopthic doses of certain herbs are appropriate for certain individuals (like colicky babes,) when a standard herbal dosage would be too strong.

NON-TOXIC ~ NON-SYNTHETIC

Homeopathy does not use synthetic substances, but relies on the healing properties inherent in plants, minerals, and animal substances. These substances are used in their whole, natural state, not as isolated chemicals.

CONSISTENCY

Homeopathy is not based on 'fad' research. Homeopathic remedies do not go in and out of fashion because they are based on indications for specific symptoms rather than on 'opposites'.

Easy to Take

Most homeopathic remedies have a very mild, sweet taste and are meant to disolve under the tongue.

Even very small children can take them, which is very handy.

They come in small bottles that can be easily carried with you.

Understanding Potencies

Homeopathic remedies are prepared through a process called potentization. Potentization involves a series of systematic dilutions and successions (a forceful shaking action).

Potentization removes all risk of chemical toxicity while activating a remedy substance and enabling it to affect the body therapeutically.

The more dilutions and succussions a substance undergoes, the higher the potency will be. Higher potencies of homeopathic remedies (anything higher than 12C) have been diluted past the point that molecules of the original substance would be measurable in the solution.

Homeopathic potencies are designated by the combination of a number and a letter (for example, 6X or 30C).

The number refers to the number of dilutions the tincture has undergone within a series to prepare that remedy.

The letter refers to the proportions used in each dilution of the series (the Roman numeral X means 10, and the Roman numeral C means 100), as well as the number of succussions the vial of solution undergoes in each successive stage.

Choosing the Appropriate Remedy

A key element in treating successfully with homeopathy is selecting the right remedy.

It is best to farmiliarize yourself with homeopathic remedies before you need them so you can have a vague idea in mind of what remedy may be called for.

Get yourself a good book like, The Complete Homeopathy Handbook: A Guide to Everyday Health Care, by Miranda Castro to have on hand.

Basically, when looking for a remedy you want to consider both physical and psychological symptoms.

Physical Symptoms

Homeopathic remedies promote a return to normal body function, and can be of help in almost any physical symptom or condition. Though they their work on a subtle level, they ultimately affect the chemical, cellular, and structural health of the organism.

Psychological Symptoms

Psychological states are a crucial piece of the symptom-puzzle. Even when treating a purely physical ailment,homeopathy considers the emotional response of the individual to be of prime importance. Improvement of an emotional state is one way to monitor the effectiveness of a remedy.

Treating ADD and ADHD Naturally

by Cori Young

ADHD / ADD Smptoms, Causes & Alternative Treatment

Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) is a dysfunction of the Central Nervous System (CNS), most specifically the reticular activating system.The most well known form of ADD is attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. ADHD affects an estimated 5% of school aged children in North America. It is the most common neurological disorder among children in this country.

SYMPTOMS AND CHARACHTERISTICS

This condition is marked by learning disabilities, frequent forgetfullness, impaired judgement, excessive talking/interupting, trouble concentrating, shortened attention span, and orginization problems.

WHAT CAUSES ADHD and ADD?

Research shows the common factor in all forms of ADD and ADHD to be a coordination failure in the reticular activating system of the brain. This area of the brain helps coordinate external stimulus. A brain chemical, norepinephrine, carries information between different regions of the brain which allows certain areas to be activated while others are inhibited, allowing one to focus on selected external information, while excluding others.

In the case of ADD / ADHD this neural coordination is impaired, causing competitive stimulation from multiple external and internal sources -too much visual stimulation, too much sound stimulation, too many internal feelings and emotions, etc. When the limited neural network is overly taxed in this regard, it becomes unable to "tune in" or focus on some stimulation, while "tuning out," or "turning down" (attenuating) other stimulation. The results can be irritation, aggression and anxiety.

OTHER CONTRIBUTING FACTORS

SUGAR CONSUMPTION blunts the brain's ability to respond to norepinephrine, thus impairing brain coordination.

ALLERGIES Up to 90% of all children with ADD or ADHD are allergic to red, yellow, and blue dyes found in food products. Other common food allergens include, cow's milk, peanuts, citrus, and tomatoes.

FAMILY HISTORY

OXYGEN DEPRIVATION AT BIRTH

LEAD POISONING

DIETARY DEFICIENCIES

SMOKING DURING PREGNANCY

HOW CAN ADD/ADHD BE TREATED?

CONVENTIONAL APPROACH

Conventional treatment of ADD / ADHD most often includes the use of psychostimulant or antidepressant drugs. Over time, however these drugs often become ineffective and cause a sort of rebound effect where frustration and anger return. Excessive use of stimulant drugs can cause lethargy and depression.

ALTERNATIVE APPROACH

Fortunately there are effective alternatives to medications.

A combination of herbs and nutritional support can often balance the brain chemistry naturally without the side effects of medications. There are formulas available that are designed specifically to provide the essential framework of lipids and fatty acids, natural hormones, as well as neural growth and synchronization factors quintessential for neural and glial cell generation in order to meet the demands of increased neural "traffic" through the reticular activating system.

Many herbs have been shown to provide relief from ADD/ADHD symptoms without the side effects of prescription drugs. However, not all herbs are suitable for small children. They are best used synergistically in a reputable formula designed specifically for the treatment of ADD/ADHD.

CONSIDERATIONS

AVOID SUGAR Research has shown that children with ADD and ADHD may not digest sugars properly. Sugar consumption has been linked to aggressive, restless behaviour.

IDENTIFY ALLERGIES Try to identify and avoid food allergens and neurotoxins such as artificial sweetners and food dyes.

AVOID SOFT DRINKS Both sugar-free and sweetened contain phosphates which displaces calcium/magnesium levels, causing exaggerated muscle activity.

GET PLENTY OF SUNLIGHT Seasonal Affective Disorder, SAD, is sometimes misdiagnosed as ADD or ADHD. Occurring mostly in northern latitudes during the winter months, SAD produces ADD-like symptoms. Consider exposure to full-spectrum lighting if unable to spend time outdoors each day.

Homeopathy and Sex

Homeopathy:
It is a wonderful thing to have the Joy of Learning and to make a career that you find is related to your studies. There are so many ways to get a Doctor label and thus claim expertise in the many fields and disciplines which we have broken knowledge into. Some of this is counter to real expertise and much of it just sets people apart from knowledge and each other. But people are also being segmented into classes within the hierarchy of government backed by and for elites in all so many ways. Medicine has been one of their more dastardly tools alongside religion. This next little factoid reminds me of how Edward Gibbon almost died because the British Medical system would not approve vaccinations through use of scabs as had been done by the likes of Paracelsus or others in antiquity and which was approved in the France of his era.

This next little factoid reminds me of how Edward Gibbon almost died because the British Medical system would not approve vaccinations through use of scabs as had been done by the likes of Paracelsus or others in antiquity and which was approved in the France of his era.

When the Cholera epidemic reached England, it provided another opportunity to compare homeopathic treatment with the conventional methods of the day. Regular allopathic medicine yielded a mortality rate of 59 percent compared to only 16 percent for the Homeopaths. (1) When these statistics were collected, the information was so startling that a medical commission was sent to the London Homeopathic Hospital to check the records. Though the data were duly verified, it was decided not to make them public, and the facts were not released until a hundred years later. (2)

The formation of the American Medical Association is a major issue against alternative healing or real care for people. In the late 19th Century as these issues were becoming apparent there were many who knew that the allopaths or medical doctors selling laudanum and the like were actually the Killing-trade. There are signs that stress management (dont fret sweat or exercise) and the connectiveness to the all around us are again making a play to be considered in health maintenance. Vitamins and supplements are able to prove to even the most duped person receiving medical care that they work and yet some doctors groups and the governments that back them still disqualify doctors who advise their usage.

Academics are subject to a Knowledge Filter (Berkeley Law Professor Johnson) or Literary Theory (UBC English Professor Graham Good) and the outright suppression of creative or thoughtful and meaningful potentials. (3) The concept of Bucky Fuller called 'the observer of the observed' and his more detailed 'creative realization' is part of what operates as we project upon reality. For example the things we see are actually a mixture of fields of energy from the dross and less excited to the highly excited or vibrational energy inside the atomic structures. One way of visualizing this includes an aura, which is the field of energy not usually visible but associated with the solar body and integrative centers called chakras. Perhaps we could contemplate a time when all people had the ability to see or sense auras. In our socially normed 'projections' that include telling our children certain things do not exist, we have lost the conscious integration or incorporation of these fields of reality.

Psychic surgeons in the Philippines and Brazil have had their energy measured during operations at the same vibration rate of 7.8 cycles. It started me thinking about how we can alter our state and how others might perceive us in these altered states. Clearly if anyone could see all the spaces between our electrons and the nuclei or between the different atoms and molecules we wouldn't seem solid by a long shot. Thus these surgeons who use no utensils would be able to energize the infected or diseased body part or tumor to remove it at an altered vibration level. There have been solid documentaries with such credible support as X-rays before a San Francisco businessman had such a tumor removed and X-rays a year later showing it hadn't returned. In the end you must decide who has the most to gain from the arguments and whether or not you want to actualize your own potential. Once you do a few things the debunkers say are impossible - then a smile will come to your face; and the intellectual conflict loses all import.

String Theory knows about the harmonic forces that are less than solid which somehow combine to make what we perceive as a solid. The astrophysicists now have told us that 95% of the universe is 'Dark Matter' or Dark Energy - so get with it before you are invisible and don't know it! Just kidding! We fear that which we cannot fully comprehend and our experts or priests and doctors include many enablers of our fears. We even allow fear to pre-empt love; which is ironic because at the end of our lives its not the fears or the differences that matter the most but whether we loved and allowed ourselves to be loved as much as possible.

Every new perception of knowledge is always based either directly or indirectly on older knowledge. InteliTapping allows us to connect with the oldest, yet most complete source of knowledge. (4)

Nature produced a show on the origins of music and the biological and archetypal impact it has had on our evolution and emotional wherewithal. Along with reed instruments from as long ago as 60,000 years that obviously show sophisticated development of technology, they had the cave operas of those who rubbed and drummed on stalactites. They posited that the tree-swinging hominid that like the Sumatran Gibbon co-ordinates community for protection through territorial chants, is not so much less aware as most of our great Lockean influenced academics seem to be. These animals also learned what plants are dangerous and what plants alter your spiritual consciousness. You can see it when your puppy goes outside for the first time and chews on some grass to settle its tummy. Our genes contain a lot of information or the ability to tap-in to much knowledge. The buzz you get from weed is the buzz coming from your Thalami and Third Eye or Pineal gland that has a crystal radio receiver and grains or crystalline structures. Crystalline structures like quartz were known to be useful in the Lost Chord of the Druids and more ancient shamans. There are magnificent quartz caves in Central America and other places that would have been used by early hominids for a certainty.
The Best Body Language Sex:

Long before Tantra or Bhakti Yoga there were many things ancients probably learned from intercourse, even more than most people do today. Today we have drugs like Viagra to enhance the longevity of the sexual encounter. The Mayans have natural drug for this. There are so many things which keep us busy or deflect us from spiritual insight as is noted in many Eastern systems which refer to the busy-mind or samsara and the illusion of Maya.

Second degree Wiccan students who have advanced through a rigorous training in esoteric knowledge begin a quest that many would regard as perverse pursuit of pleasure and self-gratification. The partners are often involved in other committed relationships. When a man and a woman who are interested in spiritual growth combine to experience the Tantric or Bhakti (Yoga) or ritualistic growth potential to free more than just their personal self or ego to reach the heights of spiritual or psychic possibilities; who can say what is real and what is imagined. This effort to commune with spirit is termed working partners and the allies or guides is who they really seek to merge or work with. The imagination is undoubtedly a part of the dynamic. It isn't necessary for them to care for each other in the way lovers do. I have not done this work.

Many people talk about 'soulmates' or 'dual flames' and the words become mere shadows of the real potential. At the same time sex is a dirty 'word', and act, in much of society.

What can a writer say to convey the essence of all these things?

If I absolve myself from the challenge of integrating these concepts, rituals and soulful realities I would simply say trust your soul and know that wherever you may go you will find something more than whatever you thought was real to begin with.

If I talk about 'la petite mort' or empathic attunements with the soul of the partner that allows the self to disintegrate and become part of something larger than one person; and almost dissolve in the vastness of spirit - it will only seem like prose and poetry. The phrase la petite mort or the little death can in fact lead to a Kundalini type experience which can cause death.

Of course, one can wax eloquent and carry on at length about any of their hopes and desires. The essence of a great working partner most probably has little to do with these aspirations and more to do with the way the soul interpenetrates all people. The glimpses of insight gained through empathy and love with those who shared my needs are special to me and will forever stay in the part of my soul (if there is such a part) that cherishes all we were and hungers for what we could have been.

To deprecate the witch who 'draws down the moon' into their partner on the path to worship of things no one can fully know is the stuff of fearful and insecure people. That kind of bigotry without actual experience is rampant in all areas of society. It is truly just the tip of the proverbial iceberg when one contemplates all the ways mankind has developed to separate himself from what we are collectively and what god truly wishes for us to realize. No amount of constant seeking or obsession with these pursuits will ever get a man any closer to his soul than what he was while in his mother's womb.

The joy and creativity of the challenge to know is as great a gift as our maker can give us - except perhaps the acquiescence to the soul within the loved one you are blessed to have the chance to know and share your life with. In the moment of creation each day as we grow and learn to be, we are forever drawn by some force that seeks greater harmony and purpose for all energy.

Many (if not most) people think the 24 hour orgasm is like alien abductions but the EEG and other ways of measuring physical responses would convince them otherwise. A similar number of people find the misuse of Tantric Yoga by the likes of Crowley and Hubbard is tantamount to whatever is evil in man. I say they are right, but that is not the fault of Tantric Yoga. These techniques are very seductive and in some ways the participants would choose to have the experience even if they knew a great deal about it because it is a sad truism that Masters and Johnson or Kinsey are right. They say a full third of women never have an orgasm through intercourse.

Many people seldom enjoy sex and some significant number of the rest of us are in varying stages of poor to decent ability and openness to what great learning sex can provide. It could be said that our sexual relations are a good barometer of the state of society. I favour sex education and all the opportunities and responsibilities that go with the natural and soulful functions of the act. It is easy to understand why some people are hesitant to have strangers teach their loved ones about sex. But Father Leo Booth is right when he notes that parents who repress their children or foist suppressive behavior upon them are just as guilty of abuse.

Homeopathy For People & Pets

Just this side of Heaven is a place called The Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill or old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; his eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling to each other in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together...

Commitment, Firmness, but kindness.

Homeopathy Five Things to Know before You Go There

 With natural health care so popular, an area that has shown incredible growth is that of homeopathic medicine. But, although you can find homeopathic remedies on health food store shelves, are you really clear on what a homeopathic specialist is and what these medicines can do? This article will address five things to know before you choose a homeopathic specialist or buy those homeopathic medicines off the shelf.

What are they?

Homeopathic remedies are medicines made by homeopathic pharmacies in accordance with the processes described in the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States and are regulated by the FDA. These are not considered supplements. The remedies could be made from plants, minerals, animals or even from chemical drugs, such as penicillin or streptomycin. These substances are then carefully diluted, called potentization, until very little of the original substance remains. Because these are very dilute, small doses of medications, and they are available over the counter, many people feel they are safe. However, for serious health problems, a person should seek the advice of a knowledgeable healthcare professional. If they choose, it could be from one familiar with homeopathic medicine.

Are they effective?

The fact that very little of the original substance remains, the question comes up how can they even be effective. According to homeopaths, this is based on similarities. When a similarity exists, a person is thought to have a hypersensitivity to that substance. Thus, while the remedy contains very little, in the practical sense, of the original material, it still contains the essence of the substance, or its energy. Its thought to work by creating a resonance within the body that catalyzes it to begin a healing process.

How this works and if its effective is very controversial among traditional medical practitioners. To determine if a particular homeopathic drug is effective, experiments, called drug provings, are conducted. In these experiments, researchers administer continual doses of the substance to a healthy individual until a reaction to the substance is achieved. Once it is known what symptoms a substance causes, then its known what symptoms and illnesses it will cure. There have been several systematic reviews of placebo-controlled trails on homeopathy that have reported that its effects seem to be more than just placebo. One observational study found that patients were very satisfied with homeopathic treatments and that both they and their physicians noticed significant improvement. There is also evidence from randomized, controlled trials that homeopathy may be effective for treatment of otitis media in children, muscle soreness after running, and attention deficit hyperactivit!

y disorder. Again, though, I would like to emphasize that it would be wise to consult with a specialist before self-medicating, especially when it comes to children.

Who practices homeopathy?

The practice of homeopathy is incorporated into medical care by a broad range of healthcare practitioners. Medical doctors (MDs) and doctors of osteopathy (DOs) may elect to study homeopathy as a post-graduate specialty. Naturopathic doctors (NDs) study homeopathy as part of their naturopathic school training. Naturopathic medicine is a distinct profession of primary healthcare that emphasizes prevention and the promotion of optimal health. The scope of practice includes all aspects of family and primary care, from pediatrics to geriatrics, and all natural medicine modalities, including homeopathic medicine.

Where did it come from?

Samuel Hahnemann, a German physician who earned his doctorate of medicine degree in 1779 is recognized as the founder of homeopathy. Through experiments on himself, and later with his patients, he developed a system of rules and laws of medicine that he codified into a treatise called the Organon of rational therapeutics, first published in 1810. The sixth edition, published in 1921, is still used today as a basic homeopathy text. It was brought to the US in 1825 by several doctors who had studied in Europe. Although at one time there were 22 homeopathic medical colleges in the US, and one out of five doctors used homeopathy, by the 1940s there were no homeopathic schools in the US.

Do your homework!

Naturopathic physicians are licensed as healthcare providers in 13 states with legal provisions allowing the practice of naturopathic medicine in several other states. To qualify for a license, the applicant must pass the licensing exam and satisfy all licensing requirements, such as have attended a resident course of 4 years and 4,100 hours of study from a college or university recognized by the state examining board. There are special certifications for various healthcare professionals. For MDs and DOs, there is the Diplomat in Homeotherapeutics (DHt). For NDs, the certification is the DHANP (Diplomat of the Homeopathic Academy of Naturopathic Physicians), and for homeopaths of all professions, there is the CCH (Certified in Classical Homeopathy). What is important to know is that in states without licensure requirements for homeopathy, anyone can claim to be practicing homeopathic medicine.

Homeopathic medicine could be a great alternative to traditional medicine. Its important to look into the background and training of anyone practicing homeopathic medicine, however, as many people promote themselves as an expert without the proper education. The National Center for Homoeopathy (http:///www.homeopathy.org) serves as a resource and training center for the practice of homeopathy. The American Association of Naturopathic Physicians (http://www.naturopathic.org) provides information on licensing and education requirements for those promoting themselves as a doctor of naturopathy. For a good overview of the art and science of homeopathy and its basic tenets, suggested reading is The Emerging Science of Homeopathy: Complexity, Biodynamics and Nanopharmacology, 2nd edition, by Bellavite P. Signorini.

A "Magic Pill" for Hayfever and Other Acute Allergies: Homeopathy is Surprisingly Effective

Seasonal allergies (a.k.a. “hay fever”) are enormously common, affecting at least 35.9 million people in the United States alone. In fact, approximately 16.7 million office visits to U.S. health care providers each year are attributed to allergic rhinitis.

Interestingly, homeopaths pioneered both the research on allergies and allergy treatment. In 1871, British homeopath C.H. Blackely suggested that seasonal sneezing and nasal discharge were the result of exposure to pollen. Later, American homeopath James Tyler Kent defined the practical principles of treating allergies with homeopathy. If someone develops an acute reaction to pollen (or another allergen), such as a running nose or itching, watery eyes, during the allergy season, this reaction is addressed first. After all, there is no need for anyone to suffer discomfort. Then, during the symptom-free season, a homeopath aims to find a so-called constitutional remedy that solves the problem on every level of a person's being. It can take a while for the full affects of a remedy like this to be felt. But in the end, many other complaints and conditions usually drop away along with the symptoms of allergy.

Today conventional allergists use a desensitization process that resembles the homeopathic practice of "using like to cure like." They give their patients a bit of the allergen (for example, tree pollen) to stimulate a reaction that the body overcomes, thus making the body stronger. However, their injections do not feature homeopathically prepared solutions. It's a little known fact that a homeopath, Grant L. Selfridge, M.D., was the first president of the organization that is now called the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology.

How do you take homeopathic remedies? These specially prepared remedies are sold in health food stores and come in the form of small sweet pills. Buy remedies in concentration 30C. Place 5 pills under the tongue and let them dissolve. Repeat the dose in 15 minutes. If there is no improvement of symptoms at all in about 30 minutes after the second dose stop taking the remedy. Go see a doctor or go to the emergency room.

My book Easy Homeopathy describes many highly effective solutions for acute allergies. Here are six that you can start using today.

Allium cepa (made from red onion): Take Allium if you see the following signs. (Always compare these signs with the signs indicating a need for Euphrasia.)

• Irritating, caustic discharge from the nose that irritates the nose and the upper lip (opposite of Euphrasia)

• Bland discharge from the eyes (opposite of Euphrasia)

• Discharge from the nose and eyes in large amounts

• Nose eventually gets completely obstructed

• Frequently there is heaviness in the middle of the forehead and/or a headache that gets better when the nose drains freely

• Frequently the symptoms begin on the left side

• You feel worse: in the late afternoon and evening, and from being in a warm room

• You feel better: from open air, cold air

Apis mellifica (made from honeybee): More times than not this is the correct remedy to take for allergic reactions to beestings. Be prepared to give it on the way to the emergency room. Use it to relieve any severe allergic reaction that involves the following combination of key symptoms.

• Very significant swelling of the eyes. Sometimes eyes are literally bloodshot from swelling

• Heat and burning sensation of the face and the eyes

• Craves cold applications and is much improved by them

Arsenicum album (made from oxide of arsenic):

• Irritating watery discharge from the nose

• Dripping from the nose, which is completely obstructed

• Burning (eyes, nose, throat) that is better from hot drinks or hot applications

• Right side is mainly affected

• You feel better: from being in a warm room, warm drinks, and warm applications (compare to Allium cepa)

• You feel worse: from anything cold

Euphrasia officinalis (made from eyebright): (Always compare to Allium cepa.)

• Eyes feel irritated, burning and itching

• Tears are abundant and irritating, nasal discharge is bland (exactly opposite to Allium cepa)

• Worse: in the morning and from warm wind

• Better: upon lying down in bed at night

Sabadilla (made from cevadilla seed):

• Remarkable fits of sneezing. Some people sound like an automatic weapon

• Every fit of sneezing provokes tears

• Constant itching inside of the nose and/or the palate

• Worse: from cold and open air

• Better: from heat, being in a warm room, and warm drinks

Urtica urens (made from stinging nettle): This remedy is specifically used for allergic reactions to shellfish and stings by jellyfish. Look for:

• Itching hives with a prickling, burning sensation

• Hives that look like red, raised blotches with white centers

Now you are equipped with powerful weapons.

Banish Bothersome Warts Quickly and Naturally with Homeopathy

My teenage years were rough ones. A car wreck left me with a serious brain trauma that required years of concentrated medical treatment and rehabilitation. In addition, I suffered from extreme acne. And to top it off, my body was routinely covered with 30 to 50 warts at any given time. Warts are caused by a mildly contagious virus, so perhaps I picked up something during my extended stay in the hospital. Or perhaps the warts were a curious side effect of the many acne medications I tried during the same period. Regardless of the cause, my mom and I took many, many trips to the dermatologist's office where the warts were frozen off -- only to reappear all over my hands, fingers, and toes within days of being removed.

Warts Inspire Superstitious and Extreme Treatments

Warts are not dangerous. And they will usually go away by themselves (although left to their own devices they might hang on for years before they leave). Warts are also a popular subject of superstition and old wives tales. As a child, I believed I could get warts from touching toads--which is patently untrue. As a wart-covered teenager, I received much "helpful" advice from community members. For example, I was regularly encouraged to cut a potato in half, rub the inside of the vegetable on my wart, then bury the spud in the dirt. And by reading The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, I learned that some people try to remove warts by taking a dead cat into a graveyard at midnight. While this method sounded full of mystery and adventure, I never tried it. But, today, as an experienced homeopathic practitioner, I have my doubts as to the efficacy of that method.

As a young adult, I did manage to get rid of my warts on my own. But I used an extreme technique that I do not advise anyone else to try. I drank a gallon of homemade kombucha tea every day for about three months. The warts went away after about two weeks and never returned. But I'm not sharing this radical treatment with you to encourage you to try it. I'm sharing it to make a point. Many of us today feel that we must go to extremes to experience vibrant health. Whether we're applying completely caustic, over-the-counter solvents to our skin to kill the wart virus, undergoing laser surgery, or subjecting ourselves to expensive and repeated electrocautery or cryotherapy treatments, or wrapping our fingers in duct tape for months at a time -- we are taking an extreme approach to our health that I simply do not support or believe in.

Homeopathy: A Balanced Approach to Wart Removal

Today, I work with many people who come to me with warts of all sorts. Common warts. Flat warts. Genital warts. And Plantars warts. Since warts are usually just one symptom of a greater bodily imbalance, I encourage my patients to seek a constitutional remedy that will improve their overall picture of health. However, I have found that certain remedies -- particularly when topically applied directly onto the affected area -- are highly effective in removing warts for good. Depending on the person's unique physical makeup, I might recommend Baryta Carbonica, Belladonna, Dulcamara, or Causticum.

In fact, I recently worked with the teenage daughter of a good friend who had suffered from a painful and bloody wart at the tip of her elbow for several years. (By the way, warts most commonly develop in early childhood through adolescence.) With her parent's support, she had pursued a range of natural health care treatments, including the use of Moxa sticks from the science of Chinese medicine and the application of milkweed thistle paste from a Native American herbal tradition. While each of these treatments did indeed shrink the wart, they failed to remove it for good. When she came to me, she had basically given up and felt that nothing could possibly get that wart off her elbow. Because she was impatient and did not want to experiment with one remedy after another, I encouraged her to try a topical treatment that combined multiple homeopathic remedies into a single ointment. Within a week of daily application, her mother called me to share the great news: the wart had literally disappeared. The best part of this experience for me was the fact that the teenager came to trust homeopathy. Now, she is willing to invest her time and interest in applying it to her overall health. Today, we are working together to find her body's ideal constitutional remedy -- the one that will help rebalance and strengthen her bodily systems for optimum health. In this way, the virus that caused the wart will be less likely to resurface. And her other health challenges, like acne and irregular periods, will hopefully become symptoms of the past as well.

Personalize your Approach to Homeopathic Healing

Like the young woman mentioned above, you may feel an immediate need to remove your warts. So you may want to pursue one or more of the remedies mentioned above. Then, as you begin to experience the gentle-yet-effective results of these natural health remedies, you may wish to delve in deeper. When that occurs, I encourage you to seek out an experienced homeopathic practitioner who will work with you to discover your body's overall constitutional remedy. You'll be glad you did.

Healing Candida and Yeast Imbalances Naturally with Homeopathy

Through our 25 years treating candida disorders we have discovered the tremendous value of homeopathy in the successful correction of candida. Although homeopathy is not the cure-all, it is commonly the key to the actual cure! I recommend using homeopathy with other natural therapies including diet for optimal results.

Candida has become a household word among many health conscious people because it produces over 100 common and elusive symptoms prominent in our society. The broad range of symptoms can include fatigue, allergies, immune weaknesses, difficulty thinking, learning disabilities, hyperactivity, constipation, digestive disorders, respiratory disorders, cravings, mold sensitivity, skin disorders, headaches and mental and emotional disorders such as sensitive emotions and mood changes. Traditional drugs often find the symptoms reoccurring soon after treatment ends. Thankfully, we now have alternatives to pharmaceuticals in treating Candida and yeast imbalances.

Homeopathy works to activate our body’s natural innate ability to heal. Without the valuable components homeopathy other treatments whether conventional or nutritional may not correct the malfunctions within the energetic control systems of our body. Without this deeper correction candida or any other condition may commonly recur or simply not respond.

Homeopathy empowers us to better help the whole person. Homeopathy equips us with the ability to go beyond the parameters of the biochemical realm of life and correct interferences within the bioenergetic control systems of our body. For over 50 years energy fields of the body have been measured through various instruments such as Kirlian photography. Scientists have observed imbalances and blocks within the energetic control patterns of the body occur first long before organic disease may manifest. Homeopathy provides us a 200+-year-old time tested science to correcting the deeper causes of disease. In fact even inherited weakness passed down over a thousand years deep into our family tree can be corrected with homeopathy.

KingBio’s Yeast Free homeopathic formula was developed over the past 20 years to correct the common causes underlying our susceptibility to yeast or fungal overgrowths in both female and male. These overgrowths can cause Candida Albicans infections anywhere we have mucus membranes, such as the reproductive system, intestinal tract, mouth and respiratory tract. Candida can go systemic or into our blood and cells of our body causing a broad spectrum of elusive symptoms. KingBio’s Yeast Freee… is designed to help overcome this problem along with probiotics and diet.

Homeopathy is a highly individualized healing art. This individuality is key to its ability to correct the key causes or malfunctions within us that allow disease to manifest. The key to homeopathy’s great successes is finding all the formulas that correct the underlying malfunctions within us. Homeopathy is based on the Law of Similars. Whatever formulas sound similar should be considered as possible solutions to each individual’s symptom patterns.

Dr. King is a nationally recognized researcher, lecturer, and author in homeopathy. His passion to develop an innovative, highly efficient, and safe natural medicine protocol launched him immediately into research following the establishment of his chiropractic practice. And for over two decades, he and his colleagues have researched to discover the most successful natural medicines and their procedures.

How to Get Started With Homeopathy Crohns Relief

 

Choosing Crohn’s-friendly foods isn’t the only way a sufferer can improve their condition, other treatments such as homeopathy crohns relief may also be beneficial for some. Homeopathy is a unique type of remedy that treats the person as a whole. Therefore, the type of remedy that is prescribed is based on a person’s mental and physical wellbeing. The treatments administered focus on ridding the person of their specific problems. Thus, no two people will be provided with the same treatments.

In order to receive proper homeopathy crohns treatment, you will need to visit a qualified homeopath to have your condition properly accessed. That being said, the following are five examples of homeopathic treatments you may be prescribed based on your symptoms:

Note: The vast majority of homeopathy treatments are derived from natural substances that come from minerals, plants and animals. A remedy is made by diluting the natural substance through a specific process without destroying its healing properties. Most remedies are extremely diluted, taken orally, and are available in tablet, pellet or liquid forms.

Argentum nitricum:

This homeopathic crohns remedy is administered to those who suffer from an upset digestive system that is also accompanied by nervousness and/or anxiety. Such a person often experiences symptoms of nausea, bloating, tummy rumbling, flatulence and sudden, intense diarrhea with a greenish hue. Diarrhea may suddenly occur after eating excessive salty or sweet foods or directly after ingesting water. In addition, a person prescribed this treatment is also likely to be impulsive, expressive, and suffer from claustrophobia issues.

Asafetida:

This homeopathy crohns substance is given to those who feel as if their entire digestive tract is constricted. The individual may feel as though they have a lump moving upwards from the stomach or have a bubble in their throat. Their abdomen generally feels inflated; however, the person has difficulty passing gas for relief. This person likely has painful bouts of constipation, explosive cases of diarrhea, and possibly regurgitates small amounts of food. This individual may have strong emotions and is quick to become worked up.

Colocynthis:

An individual who is experiencing sharp pains and cramping in their abdomen or pubic bone that urges them to bend double or lie down is often prescribed this homeopathy crohns. The pain that is experienced usually worsens before diarrhea passes, after drinking water or eating fruit. Many of these symptoms are also triggered by emotions, especially anger.

Lilium tigrinum:

This is usually administered to a person who is constipated throughout the day but is plagued with sudden diarrhea the next morning. This person tends to feel as if there is a lump in their rectum that feels worse when they stand. This person may develop haemorrhoids, and experience tightening in their chest. The symptoms are often triggered by strong emotions, and excitement that often accelerates into feelings of irritability or rage.

Podophyllum:

This remedy for homeopathy crohns is often prescribed to those who suffer from abdominal pain and cramping, and have a sinking, empty feeling in their gut that is followed by very loose, and watery, foul-smelling diarrhea. The person may also experience constipation or bowel movements that feature pasty, yellow stool with mucus. This individual tends to feel worse in the early hours of morning and later feel weak, faint or headachy afterwards. An individual who suffers from these symptoms may also experience stiff joints and muscles.

Homeopathy crohns is generally safe when administered by a professional, especially remedies that have been extremely diluted. However, it is not uncommon for a person to feel worse during treatment. This usually only occurs for a brief period and is usually not uncommon. However, extreme or prolonged side effects such as worsening or no relief from symptoms should be brought to the attention of your health care provider.

Although homeopathy may be an ideal complimentary form of treatment for Crohn’s, it should not replace a doctor’s advice. In addition, if you have a serious case of Crohn’s with persistent symptoms, you may require medical aid for relief and to get the condition under control. Therefore, make sure you consult your health care provider about homeopathy crohns treatments before you begin.

Homeopathy - Five Things to Know before You 'Go There'

 

With natural health care so popular, an area that has shown incredible growth is that of homeopathic medicine. But, although you can find homeopathic remedies on health food store shelves, are you really clear on what a homeopathic specialist is and what these medicines can do? This article will address five things to know before you choose a homeopathic specialist or buy those homeopathic medicines off the shelf.

What are they?

Homeopathic remedies are medicines made by homeopathic pharmacies in accordance with the processes described in the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States and are regulated by the FDA. These are not considered supplements. The remedies could be made from plants, minerals, animals or even from chemical drugs, such as penicillin or streptomycin. These substances are then carefully diluted, called potentization, until very little of the original substance remains. Because these are very dilute, small doses of medications, and they are available over the counter, many people feel they are safe. However, for serious health problems, a person should seek the advice of a knowledgeable healthcare professional. If they choose, it could be from one familiar with homeopathic medicine.

Are they effective?

The fact that very little of the original substance remains, the question comes up how can they even be effective. According to homeopaths, this is based on similarities. When a similarity exists, a person is thought to have a hypersensitivity to that substance. Thus, while the remedy contains very little, in the practical sense, of the original material, it still contains the essence of the substance, or its energy. It’s thought to work by creating a resonance within the body that catalyzes it to begin a healing process.

How this works and if it’s effective is very controversial among traditional medical practitioners. To determine if a particular homeopathic drug is effective, experiments, called drug provings, are conducted. In these experiments, researchers administer continual doses of the substance to a healthy individual until a reaction to the substance is achieved. Once it is known what symptoms a substance causes, then it’s known what symptoms and illnesses it will cure. There have been several systematic reviews of placebo-controlled trails on homeopathy that have reported that its effects seem to be more than just placebo. One observational study found that patients were very satisfied with homeopathic treatments and that both they and their physicians noticed significant improvement. There is also evidence from randomized, controlled trials that homeopathy may be effective for treatment of otitis media in children, muscle soreness after running, and attention deficit hyperactivit!

y disorder. Again, though, I would like to emphasize that it would be wise to consult with a specialist before self-medicating, especially when it comes to children.

Although at one time there were 22 homeopathic medical colleges in the US, and one out of five doctors used homeopathy, by the 1940’s there were no homeopathic schools in the US.

Is Homeopathy Safe For People Allergic To Dairy Or Wheat?

 

The most common reason consumers give for using homeopathic medicines is that they desire a safe alternative to prescription and over-the-counter drugs. Indeed, the FDA has recorded no adverse effects, negative drug interactions, or harmful properties associated with homeopathy in its entire lengthy history.

But individuals who are allergic to dairy and/or wheat may need to be more careful than the average consumer when it comes to homeopathic medicines. Like most drugs, these medicines contain inactive ingredients. In this case, the inactive ingredients aren’t extraneous fillers, binders, or solvents. They are completely necessary as carriers of the active homeopathic ingredients.

The most common carriers used are solid lactose or liquid alcohol formulations. Lactose is a milk sugar and alcohol is often grain alcohol made from wheat. So is homeopathy safe for dairy or wheat allergy sufferers?

Most homeopathic companies will say that the required doses are so small, a couple tiny tablets or a few drops under the tongue, that allergy sufferers need not be concerned. However, many homeopathic medicines are meant to be taken multiple times a day for a month or longer. Could long-term use of small amounts of substances that initiate acute inflammatory responses in allergic individuals really be good for their health?

Homeopathic tablets and tinctures seem to be a risky proposition for dairy and wheat allergy sufferers. Luckily, a few homeopathic companies have developed water-based homeopathic medicines. Water-based homeopathy is ideal for individuals with allergies. These medicines are available from SafeCareOTC, Sprayology and King Bio. Other companies, such as Boiron and Hylands, offer a few lactose and alcohol-free products as well.

Most of these products are available online and many are available in select stores across the country. If your local natural medicines or health food store doesn’t carry lactose and alcohol-free homeopathics then ask them too. A large number of consumers at stores such as these have food allergies, so your local store can only benefit by offering water-based homeopathic medicines that are safe for everyone.

Effective Massage In A Massage Chair

Most people have never used a massage chair and have no idea how they function. They have been around for years and are very sophisticated machines in the form and shape of an arm chair. Many of them are produced in Japan. It is really great to just sit in the chair and get the massaging.

Inside the chair there are a number of motors, often 4-6, and a computer program that runs the program you choose. The whole body can be massaged within 20 minutes, sometimes less and sometimes more.

What kind of massage can you get? Let me give you some examples.

Air arm massage is a feature on some massage chairs. This is especially great to relieve weariness from the arms which are working restlessly for operation of a personal computer or a cellular phone, during works, domestic chores, leisure and so forth. The air massage mechanism is provided on the armrest and it will move naturally with the change of the body angle caused by the reclining movement. In this way the stiffness and strains in the wrists and back of hands will be relaxed thoroughly.

Depending on how the backrest is set, the function of the arm massage will work differently. The backrest can be in an upright position, slightly reclined and completely collapsed.

The air massage option is also available for the lower part of your legs. It massages with repeating cycles of compression of the muscles in an oblique direction and releasing. This stimulation assist an important function, to return the blood to the heart.

As the shape and form of our bodies differ it is vital for a good massage chair to have the option the adjust for that. Now there are chairs that automatically scans the persons body and use the data collected to change the tools, often small wheels that role and push, inside the massage chair.

Movements of hands and whole arms are reproduced to realize complicated and stereoscopic kneading up and kneading down massage. There are even more complex functions added in some programs of a massage chair. For example a function that combines the stretch massage, which resembles pressing with hands to push up first and then down, with the simultaneous application of the kneed, tapping and wavelet.

The most common functions of massage chairs are vibrations in the seat and backrest. Pleasant intermittent vibrations can be enjoyed simultaneously with the massaging. It promotes blood circulation and relieves strain from muscles.

What is the price of a massage chair? As always it depends on the functionality you want but prices range from just over $1,000 USD up to $8,000 USD. Many companies buy or rent a chair and have it for the personal. This is appreciated as a very efficient way to help the staff to stay healthy. There are studies showing that the number of sick-days will go down considerably when the massage chair has been installed.

An usual effect when a new chair is installed is that people will line up and try the massage. A schedule is almost always required and many use it frequently to get rid of the problems a stressful work situation sometimes creates.

Plant Spirit Shamanism, Folk Medicine, and Homeopathy

 

Listening to the Plants – Nature is Talking to us.

The shamans say that plants connect us with nature because they take their nourishment directly from the earth, as well as the sun’s rays, the air, and water. They allow us to know and recognize ourselves. A shaman must know this and must love his people to heal them. Here are just a few of the plant healers.

Jergon Sacha (Dracontium peruviuanum)

My first exposure to this plant came about quite accidentally, when one day walking through the rainforest studying the properties of the plants, the maestro Javier queried why I always walked around with a machete. I jokingly replied “it’s against anacondas!”. He paused in thought for a moment and beckoned for me to follow him, a few minutes later we came across this tall stemmed plant. He proceeded to cut it down and then whip me around the body paying attention to my legs and the soles of my feet.. He then said “no more problems, you are protected against snakes”. I asked him why this plant was used in this way, and he indicated the pattern on the stem which looks identical to the snakes in the forest. Later as I started to investigate this plant even more, I discovered some interesting correspondences; this is a plant which is widely used as an antidote against snake bite venom in the Amazon.

This is accordance with the ‘doctrine of signatures’ concept. This doctrine is at the heart of homeopathy, folk medicine, and plant shamanism. The doctrine was revealed by the great alchemist and physician Paracelus who lived in the 16th Century. The underlying principle was that the healing properties of the plant are not only in the outer ‘physical’ form, but also in their inner or spiritual nature. The Doctrine of Signatures holds that this inner nature can be revealed by it’s outer physical form or signatures. This plant is a clear demonstration of the outer form indicating the inner qualities. It’s use is directly related to it’s physical appearance, the patterns on the tall stem closely resembles the skin patterns of the highly venomous pit viper known as ‘Bushmaster’ or Jararaca which is indigenous to the Amazon.

The large tuber of the plant is an well known and highly effective antidote for the bite of venomous snakes. The tuber is chopped up, and immersed in cold water and then drunk. Also the chopped tuber is placed in a banana leaf and used as a poultice which is wrapped around the bite area. These procedures are repeated every few hours. Of course the deal here is that it works, and as it not possible to store anti-venom vaccines in the rainforest without refrigeration, this plant has exceptional life-saving importance.

Mocura / Mucura Petivera Alliacea. This plant can be taken orally or used in floral baths to raise energy, or take you out of a saladera (a run of bad luck, inertia, sense of not living to the full). Gives mental strength and you can feel its effects as also with Ajo Sacha, both are varieties of ‘false’ garlic and have a penetrating aroma.

One of it’s qualities is that on a personal psychological level it can boost one’s strength. For example it is considered good in countering shyness, and can strengthen one’s own sense of personal value and authority. One of it’s properties is to help people overcome ‘irrational’ fears & fearful memories

Medicinal properties include asthma, bronchitis, reduction of fat and cholesterol. This plant grows widely in the lower Amazon, and it is used widely in purification (floral baths) .

Piñon Colorado Jatropha gossypifoilio

Has short lived effect after drinking but helps lucid dreaming later on when you go to bed. Can be used as a planta maestra and it is a plant that maestros can take when being during their initiation. Can also take with tobacco.

The plant’s properties on the physical level relate to problems such as, burns, swellings, intestinal parasites , Insect bites and stings, vaginal infections, and bronchitis. It is possible to take the resin which is much stronger but toxic if too much ingested. The resin can be applied directly to the skin.

Piri-piri, (Cyperaceae). Native people throughout the Amazon cultivate numerous varieties of medicinal sedges to treat a wide range of health problems, the native peoples for example, use sedge roots to treat headaches, fevers, cramps, dysentery and wounds as well as to ease childbirth. Special sedge varieties are cultivated by Shipiba women to improve their skill weaving and to protect their babies from illness.

Teresa a Shipiba craftswoman who joins us on our Amazon Retreats, told me that it is customary when the girls are very young for their mothers to squeeze a few drops of the ‘piri piri’ seed sap into their eyes in order to give their daughters the ability to have visions of the designs that she will make throughout her life.

The men cultivate special sedges to improve their hunting. Since the plant is used for such a wide range of conditions, it was once dismissed as being mere superstition. Pharmacological research has revealed the presence of ergot alkaloids, which are known to have diverse effects on the body from stimulation of the nervous system to constriction of blood vessels. These alkaloids are responsible for the wide range of medicinal uses. Apparently the ergot alkaloids come not from the plant itself but from a fungus that infects the plant.

Chanca piedra “Stone Breaker” (Phyllanthus Niruri)

This is a hybrid name “chanca” meaning “to break” in Quechua and “piedra” meaning “stone” in Spanish. This herb from the Amazon has been used by the indigenous peoples of the Rainforest for generations as an effective remedy to eliminate gall, and kidney stones. The plant has demonstrated its effectiveness against many illnesses including, kidney problems , urinary problems, colic, dysentery, jaundice and numerous other conditions. This herb has become widely used in South America as the herbal remedy for gall and kidney stones, and can typically be bought in capsule or leaf form from many stores. This plant is used only for its pharmaceutical properties, and is not a planta maestra. As a note, this plant is also starting to become known in Western Medical circles, as when I brought some back for my mother to help her with her kidney stones, her doctor was apparently familiar with this herb, but he still didn’t want her to use it due to possible contra-indications with the prescribed pharmaceutical medicine.

Reflections.

On reflection plant medicine is totally different than pharmaceutical medication which only affects one whilst it is being taken; these kinds of plant medicines seem to have a permanent effect in some way metaphorical or otherwise altering one's consciousness or "DNA". Paracelus, is still a source of inspiration to all those who work with the healing properties of herbs, and the plants.

One of the great revelations that we can experience in working with the plant spirit or consciousness is that we are not separate from the natural world. In our culture we perceive ourselves to be separate beings with our minds firmly embedded within our physical being (typically our head). The plants can show you that this way of being is an illusion and that we are all connected, all of us and everything else is a discrete element in the great universal field of consciousness or spirit.

Aromatherapy and Homeopathy Treatments for Acne

 

In the first part of this article, we have discussed the importance of herbal medicines and vitamin therapy in the fight against acne. I promised to give you more. Keeping true to my words, I now bring you the second part of the series.

Aromatherapy and homeopathy are two of the oldest methods of treating acne. Read on to know how they help counter acne.

Aromatherapy. Aromatherapy has long been considered as a natural remedy for acne problems. Of the different essential oils used for this purpose, tea tree oil is regarded as the most effective. It is known to contain both antifungal and antiseptic properties, which help defend the skin against acne outbreaks. It is also known to possess antiviral and antibacterial properties, which further protects the skin from disease causing micro organisms.

Researches prove that tea tree oil is as effective as benzoyl peroxide in treating acne minus its negative side effects. In a clinical study published by the Medical Journal of Australia in 1990, it was established that using 5% tea tree oil or a 5% benzoyl peroxide in treating acne produces more or less the same results. The only drawback in using the former is that it took a little longer to produce noticeable results.

Other aromatherapy oils that can be used to counter the problem are jasmine (Jasminum officinale), lavender (Lavendula agustifolia), myrrh (Commiphora myrrha), sandalwood (Santalum album) and Ylang ylang (Cananga odorata). These essential oils all contain the chemical substance farnesol which is responsible in inhibiting the growth of certain acne-causing bacteria.

To use aromatherapy in dealing with facial acne, you may apply a drop of tea tree oil using a cotton bud directly to the skin or you can use it in your steam facial. Just add a few drops of the oil in a basin full of hot water and presto!

If you prefer to use a combination of essential oils, you may want to try this mixture: Combine 5 drops geranium, 7 drops lavender, 7 drops atlas cedarwood and 12 drops tea tree essential oil with ¼ ounce jojoba oil in a small glass vial. Jojoba oil will serve as the base oil for the mixture. It will also increase the total absorptive capacity of the oils in the skin. The mixture can be applied directly to the blemish with a cotton swab or by using your finger. Just make sure that you wash your hands first to avoid infections.

However, it is sensible always to observe caution in using any type of medication. Although aromatherapy is considered safe for most people, some may still have reactions to some of the components of essential oils.

Homeopathy Treatment. Homeopathic doctors consider acne as an indication of a deeper internal problem and hence, should not be treated using topical medications. Instead, the patient's general health condition is taken into consideration to come up with the correct formula to address the problem. Homeopathy upholds the principle of complete and gentle healing. It works by attempting to stimulate the body's own natural healing capacity so that healing comes from within.

When you undergo a homeopathy treatment, you will notice a temporary acne outbreak. Don't worry since this only indicates that the treatment is working favorably. This phase will be followed by noticeable signs of improvement - your skin texture will improve and the redness, itchiness and roughness of your skin will be considerably less. Your complexion will steadily improve from thereon. In homeopathy, each case is unique. For best results, it is imperative that you consult with a qualified practitioner.

There are still other ways to forever ward off acne and enjoy a blemish-free skin. You will be thrilled to read the final part of this series! Watch out for it!

Detox Your Body Naturally With Homeopathy

 

We have found over the past 25 years detoxifying people that toxicity problems have a tendency to create a healing crises and the health problems would commonly recur. We have used various combinations of many detoxification products and techniques, including nutrition, herbs, fasting, various flushing techniques, specialty products, clays, colon cleaners, small intestine cleaners, colonics, enemas, massage and homeopathy. Fortunately, further research and development in homeopathy revealed safer and more permanent corrections to this recurring and perplexing toxicity problem.

Homeopathic detoxification and drainage formulas not only dislodge toxins in the body as most other products do; they also activate the eliminative functions of the body to work properly again. By activating the body’s inner potentials to detoxify with homeopathy, we were able to solve many of the problems we experienced with previous detoxification procedures.

The body’s ability to cleanse itself and adapt to a continuously changing environment is remarkable. Homeopathy maximizes this incredible ability within us. Homeopathic detoxification and drainage formulas have provided the following therapeutic advantages:

• Enhancing over all health in most people.
• Preventing healing crises from occurring
• Preventing reoccurrences of a toxic condition
• Providing better results in resistant cases.
• Providing a more complete cure.
• Expediting the healing processes.
• Helping achieve greater results with other homeopathic formulas.
• Helping other products and procedures work better (nutrition, herbs, Chiropractic, etc.)
• Activating further healing with cases that have reached plateau where only a partial correction has been achieved.
• Preventing further reoccurrences of an illness.
• Preventing future accumulation of toxins.
• Providing results in a broader scope of conditions such as chronic or even so called “incurable” conditions.

Homeopathy works not so much biochemically, but rather bioenergetically to correct interferences in the energetic control systems of the body. When the energetic control systems of the body (like the nervous system) work better, then everything else can work better. As we get the control system of the body working better, our body’s chemistry balances out. Every chemical within our body has a very specific charge to it. The purpose of that charge is to respond and do what the energetic control system tells it to do.

Effective correction of the dynamics of the detoxification functions of the body is paramount to correcting the chronic recurring health problems perplexing our society. Achieving optimal health and longevity are also intimately interconnected to maximum detoxification functions.

Most everyone has or knows of what I call an “Uncle Charlie.” - the one who eats horribly, smokes, cusses and lives the most awful lifestyle yet never seems to get sick, while others sway just a little in their lifestyle tightrope and get sick. The difference is that Uncle Charlie has the constitution of a cockroach. This means that his detoxification and defense functions are working well.

Homeopathic detox formulas are designed to work deep in the body to activate and strengthen our inner constitution. This vital ability of homeopathy can even correct inherited or genetic weaknesses handed down to us as deep as ten generations. These formulas activate the detoxification mechanisms of the body and maximize our ability to stay clean in a toxic world.

Colic and Homeopathy- Relief Is On the Way!

Everyone knows how delightful a new baby can be! New life brings new love, fresh promise for the future, and overwhelming joy. However, that little sweetheart, can also bring other sorts of baggage, such as sleep deprivation for Mom and Dad, disruption of all routines, endless laundry, and the most dreaded of all—colic!

Colic is severe abdominal pain. The infant suffering with colic will usually have abdominal pain, gas, cramping, flatulence, bloating, and irritability accompanied by some very recognizable symptoms that distinguish themselves from normal infant crying. Colic can produce piercing and constant crying lasting for hours, and the infant will exhibit a red face that can become pale or blue around the mouth if the attack is long or severe. In addition, the infant’s belly will be hard and distended with legs drawn up and arms clenched tightly. Many times the infant will have coldness in the hands and feet.

The American Academy of Pediatrics estimates that of the four million babies born in the United States each year, about 25% will develop colic. Colic most often affects infants from about two weeks until three months of age, and while doctors and scientists have been trying to find the cause of colic for over 50 years, each study brings another theory, but nothing concrete. We do know, however, that colic can be traumatic for everyone. Mom and Dad, already sleep deprived, now have the added stress of watching their baby in misery.

King Bio Children’s Colic Relief™ can provide safe, natural relief to the infant within 30 seconds to 10 minutes. If relief is not immediately noticed, the product may be used as frequently as every 10 minutes until the symptoms subside. Remember that with King Bio homeopathic formulas, the dosages range from one spray in the mouth for newborns to three sprays for adults so there is no need to try to calm the baby down long enough to get the medicine in! One spray in that open, squalling mouth usually provides quick, safe relief for most infants suffering from colic.

All King Bio homeopathic formulas have a pure water base. There is no alcohol, sugar, or yeast to be concerned about. For added therapeutic effect, you may use any King Bio natural medicine topically on the affected area. Simply spray King Bio Colic Relief™ on your infant’s tummy and massage gently in a clock-wise direction to assist in gas expulsion.

In certain circumstances, the infant may need additional King Bio Natural Medicines for relief. It may benefit the parents to consider King Bio for indigestion, motion sickness, nausea, constipation, diarrhea, or food and chemical allergy. Recommended formulas from King Bio include Constitutional Enhancer™, Tummy Aches, all our Detox Formulas, Growth and Development™, and VaccinoPlexä.

Having a new baby in the house can be a very physically and emotionally taxing time for parents. Make sure to take care of yourselves and use common sense during this stage of your baby’s development. The following suggestions can help:

-Rest and sleep when your baby rests and sleeps.
-Breast-feeding mothers should eat small amounts frequently. Have a snack every two to four hours.
-Avoid certain foods that may aggravate colic, such as spicy food.
-Listen to your body. Don’t ignore hunger pains. Make sure to drink plenty of water.
-Negotiate a deal with your partner so that you each get a decent amount of sleep each night. Your baby may awaken throughout the night, so take turns.
-Get some practical support if your are exhausted. Get assistance to shop, clean, cook, or take the baby for a walk.
-Ask your partner or a good friend to give you a face, foot, or back massage.
-Do gentle exercise, which will help create energy
-Remind yourselves that this is a short phase in your child’s development!
