The hmc21 website has created a leaflet which provides an overview of the key arguments relating to the attacks on homeopathy, showing that they lack any medical or scientific validity. It covers the importance of the Swiss HTA; the history of the attacks on homeopathy; and the problems with RCTs. Useful information to have at your fingertips

“There is no argument against homeopathy which stands up to scientific scrutiny. They are simply slogans, distortions and downright lies.”

Whooping Cough

ann — Tue, 01 May 2012 01:40:09 +0000

There seems to be an epidemic of whooping cough, or persistent cough resembling whooping cough, in Sydney currently. An article published in the Sydney Morning Herald on February 10 2010 which stated that the bacteria that causes whooping cough has mutated so that vaccination no longer provides the protection it once did.

Medical treatment is antibiotics which can reduce the severity of an attack if administered in the first 15 days of the disease.

Homeopathy can provide alleviation of symptoms. Whooping cough is a very tenacious illness and often different remedies are needed at different stages of infection. Also frequent dosing can be necessary to overcome the symptoms. That said, it is possible to gain significant relief from symptoms using homeopathic medicines.

Any persistent cough (the characteristic ‘whoop’ is not essential) could be whooping cough and should be regarded seriously.

Reduce Tobacco Cravings

The homeopathic remedy, caladium, is known to reduce tobacco cravings – a natural, cost-effective way to support letting go this habit. Then constitutional treatment can also help support any underlying emotional neediness.

Most of us don’t attend to our health issues until we are unable to avoid them!

What is it for you? What are the issues that you know you should attend to and yet keep avoiding?

Homeopathy and Childbirth

Very excited to be giving a talk at the Australian Doula College this Saturday (a doula is a trained birth attendant). There are so many great ways that homeopathic medicines can support a woman during (and before and after) childbirth. From simple exhaustion, through irregular contractions, pain and emotional states such as anxiety and anger. I often create birth kits for expectant mothers and their partners but doubt that, in the heat of the moment, they will remember what is for what. Hopefully the doula has a more objective viewpoint, and with repeated experience she comes to know and understand what remedy is most suited to each situation.

Stress

As a homeopath I am frequently treating people whose main concern is stress. In fact, recent newspaper reports have highlighted that stress is now the main reason for people to take extended sick leave from work.

The questions for me are what is going on for each person, what is the unique experience for them; what sets it off? what makes it better or worse? do any physical complaints accompany or get worse with stress? what dreams do they have? etc.The more individual expression of stress is identified, the more likely I am to identify a remedy that will bring about a return to inner balance and resilience to external factors.

Homeopathic Snail Repellant

For the first time ever my lettuce and spinach seedlings are thriving thanks to a homeopathic preparation Helix tosta 6C. I found out about it in an article on Fran Sheffield’s website: http://homeopathyplus.com.au. There is a whole section on agrohomeopathy inspired by Dutch homeopath Vaikunthanath das Kaviraj. The snail prevention is inexpensive, non-toxic and effective. Now I am going to try to apply the same principles to cockroaches, head lice and dog fleas!

Relieving Flu Symptoms

I have noticed quite a few friends coming down with particularly debilitating flu this winter. Did you know that there are homeopathic medicines that can go a long way towards easing the symptoms and reducing the duration of a bout of flu. For example, the remedy Eupatorum Perforatum could be beneficial when the main symptom is unbearable aches in the body. These can be accompanied by high fever, chills and intense headache.

Give me a call or visit your homeopath as soon as flu symptoms develop.
