“He is Likewise a Preserver of Health…:” Homeopathic Doctor Samuel Hahnemann’s 4th Aphorism

“He [the physician] is likewise a preserver of health if he knows the things that derange health and cause disease, and how to remove them from persons in health.” Samuel Hahnemann, the Founder of Homeopathy, included the above statement as the fourth aphorism in his Organon of Medicine—the book that contains the guiding principles from which Classical Homeopaths work.

Her Name was Chloe: Childhood Innocence Touches Deeply Within

The beach at the lake was filled, surprisingly so for a Monday; but it was unusually hot, even for a summer day in Wisconsin. Children of all ages laughed with and splashed their friends. Those not braving the cool water hugged the small amount of shade offered by the bushes or trees, moving their blankets as the sun shifted in the sky. A few had planned ahead and brought a large umbrella; there seemed to be plenty of beach space for these lucky few.

It Has Been Said “You Are What You Eat”: In Homeopathy, You Are What You Feel

Each homeopathic remedy belongs to a certain class of remedies that have their own set of overall characteristics. The three main classes or kingdoms are Plants, Minerals and Animals. Within each of these kingdoms are sub-kingdoms, such as in the Mineral Class there are the salts and the metals. Sub-kingdoms share the same general characteristics of the main kingdom, but they also have their own individual characteristics that vary based on the degree of compensation and desperateness.

It All Begins With a Belief: Everything You Do Today is a Reflection of Your Beliefs

Your focus determines your reality; your focus is determined by your beliefs and your point of view (perspective). We are a sum of all our experiences to date as each experience causes the formation of thoughts and beliefs. Some of our beliefs we are very aware of; others influence our lives and decisions without our conscious awareness of them. Yet, both the conscious and the unconscious beliefs influence our health and our livelihood.

Don't Delay Caring for Your Health by Searching for a Medical Diagnosis

“Sticks and stones might break my bones but names will never hurt me.” An old saying. People don’t like the unknown. People don’t like unanswered questions. And many people don’t like mysteries that have no end.

“Just Stay Away From Those Health Food Stores” His MD Said: How This One Statement Changed a Man’s Life

The sinus infections were becoming unbearable. It was a cycle: infection-antibiotic-a couple of days of relief-infection-antibiotic…. This is all Joshua knew. His whole life centered around the suffering of his sinuses, the doctor’s visits, and the antibiotics. Occasionally, things changed: he had sinus surgery. But for the most part, there was no end to the sinus infections—or was it just one infection that never healed?

Bad Things Happen that are Out of Our Control: What Happens Next is Entirely Up to Us

Jane just bought the car; this was her first drive around the city. It sputtered, lurched, and then stalled. And night was rapidly approaching as were the storm clouds the weatherman had predicted. The car mishap was out of Jane’s control. But how she reacted to the stress was in her control. Each person faces a myriad of stresses each day. Some are small and warrant only a small acknowledgement from us; whereas others can really increase the heart rate and cause a heightened sense of awareness. Luckily, for most, those BIG stressful situations occur rarely.

Remember Cranberry Juice if You Take an Acid-Reducing Drug: Reduce Nutrient Depletion from GERD & Heartbu Drugs

Cranberry Juice is commonly known to help with decreasing the frequency and/or severity of Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) and other urinary troubles including kidney stones. One of the chief causes of UTIs is the presence of the bacterium E. coli which adheres to the cell walls of the bladder and urinary tract, thus causing an infection. Cranberry Juice keeps bacteria from sticking to the walls, thus decreasing the likelihood that an infection will result. It also increases the pH of the urine; bacteria that cause UTIs have trouble growing in an acidic environment.

Getting the Right Blood Pressure Reading Every Time

John hated going to the doctor’s office, but the pain in his knee was really starting to interfere with work. As he sat in the waiting room, he couldn’t help but be fidgety. He hadn’t seen the doctor for twelve years, and as far as he was conce ed, another 12 years could go by and he wouldn’t care. But he knew he had to come. He was conce ed that something might really be wrong with his knee, something that Ibuprofen didn’t fix anyway. Besides, he was popping Ibuprofen like it was candy.

Homeopathy vs. Allopathy: Two Health Care Systems with Opposite Points of View

In the “modern age of health care,” the “medical mindset” is the general way people perceive health. In a nutshell, a person believes that anything that is unpleasant should be directed to the care of a medical doctor and a pill must be taken. Hence, any form of pain, a stuffy nose, or a lingering cough is brought to the attention of the family doctor; the usual treatment for anything troubling the person is a prescription. Discussions about diet and lifestyle, or home treatments or remedies are not discussed during the 7 minute visit to the doctor.r

What to Do When Your Doctor Retires: Thank You Suzanne Barnes DO

Nothing brought a smirk to my clients’ faces quicker than the statement that I valued my medical doctor. It wasn’t that people don’t actually value their medical doctor—it was more that I valued my medical doctor. People automatically assume that Naturopathic Doctors and Homeopaths do not like medical doctors or medical care. Most of the time, when one discusses natural medicines or care they are called “Alte ative” meaning something to be used in place of medical care and medical drugs—i.e. medical doctors.

Iron-Deficiency Anemia: How to Get the Most Iron Out of Your Diet & Supplements

Iron-deficiency anemia (IDA), also referred to as just plain “anemia,” is a medical diagnosis given to those who have fewer Red Blood Cells (RBCs) than normal. As a chief component of RBCs is iron, when there is a shortage of RBCs, deficiency in iron is usually the culprit. Although there are other types of “anemia,” for this discussion, only Iron-Deficiency Anemia will be discussed.

Chiropractic Care & Autism: It’s all about turning on the power again

During my schooling in natural health, I worked as a chiropractic assistant. I learned that nerve impulses from the spine to the body organs are the brain’s way of communicating with those body organs or systems; and if there was interference with that communication, then problems can occur. The chiropractor’s “job” is to remove the impingement on the spinal nerves.

Do You Swear to Tell the Whole Truth…Her Life Depended Upon It

Her asthma had actually started in Third Grade even though she didn’t develop the signs of asthma until some 6 years later. Anna, now 25, had been shy and withdrawn as she lived in fear. Her step-father, Mike, was a tyrant; his focus, it seemed, was how much he could punish Anna in one day. But his punishments weren’t what most children receive—for Anna, it meant severe beatings, sometime to the point where she lost consciousness.

Don't Listen to Those Who Tell You EVERYTHING is Your Fault: When this Happens, It's Time to Walk Away!

“Everything that happens in your life is either because you subconsciously wanted it to happen or it is a mirror of your own inner beliefs.” The absurdity of this statement, and others like it, were not realized until Rachel was scribbling her Last Will and Testament. There was no option—death was the only answer to protect those she loved; she just needed to find a way to make it happen.

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall: Do I See Me at All? Looking Through the Eyes of Fear

I really love the picture of the kitten looking into the mirror; its reflection in the mirror was that of a lion. We all have beliefs and perceptions about ourselves. Sometimes these are very evident; and sometimes we are unaware of them but they shape our lives through the decisions we make. Our perceptions of ourselves and our reality are often tainted by past experiences and the thoughts we formed during our youth.

Low Adrenal Function: Don’t Overlook these Important Endocrine Glands

I thought I’d step away from homeopathy and address a very serious health concern: Low Adrenal Function. For the most part, people tend to overlook their adrenal glands. The adrenal glands are small glands that sit atop each kidney; so most people have 2 glands because they have 2 kidneys. The adrenal glands either directly or indirectly impact all body functions, including the wake-sleep cycle, food digestion, blood sugar regulation, and blood pressure. Most of the signs and symptoms of Low Adrenal Function are a result of blood sugar imbalances.

A Simple Rash Became Asthma: The Trouble is Often More tha Just Skin Deep

Let me tell you about the skin. It technically is considered a body “organ” because it has functions just like the other organs of the body (brain, liver, stomach, etc). It is the largest organ because, well, what part of you isn’t covered by some form of skin? I suppose the nails and eyes are, except that under the nails is skin.

I Would Heal But...What Excuses Do You Use to Keep Yourself from Healing?

I guess she wasn’t ready to heal. Anna, 24, called to cancel her appointment for the third time of rescheduling. Each excuse was not something I would’ve considered a valid enough reason to put off healing: “my car broke down last week”; “my mom needs me to drive her grocery shopping”; and “I just don’t have the time right now.” But Anna was the one doing her own healing; it was up to her to decide if she wanted to heal.

Seriously . . . Just How Long Does it Take to Heal? An In-Depth Look at Healing—REAL Healing

Q: “I’ve been working with a homeopath now for 2 years and I am not healthy yet. How long does it take to heal with homeopathy? I thought by now I would be healed.” With Classical Homeopathy, the goals is “cure”—meaning there will be no symptoms of a disease, and hence, no disease. As homeopathic healing differs from all other forms of healing modalities, including other natural health services and care, I will discuss here some of the “things” that one needs to keep in mind when working with a Classical Homeopath for healing.

The Two Primary Causes of All Diseases

Illness occurs in everyone—no one is immune, if you’ll pardon the expression. The way an illness expresses itself is through symptoms; symptoms are the way the body communicates when something is amiss. Too often, however, people see these symptoms as the disease itself, with the belief that removing the symptoms equals removing the disease. Unfortunately, that is not true. Look at anyone with a chronic disease whose symptoms are suppressed by medical or even natural means. Is the disease gone?

Is It Arthritis or Rheumatism? Distinguishing Rheumatism from Arthritis in Homeopathy

By definition, according to the Oxford Dictionary, rheumatism is “inflammation and pain in joints, muscles or fibrous tissue.” Arthritis is “painful inflammation and stiffness of joints.” The key difference here is that, although both affect joints, rheumatism also affects muscles and fibrous tissue (arthritis only affects joints). Most of the time people do not distinguish between the types of pain or the causes—they call it all “arthritis.” Is this important to know the difference? Yes.

Garlic (Allium sativum) is in the same botanical family with onions, leeks, chives, shallots and turnips. Two common features of this family are that they have strong odors, and, when eaten, they permeate the entire person’s body. A person’s breath, urine, feces and sweat can all smell like the vegetable they had eaten. Because of their wonderful ability to permeate every corner of a person’s body, they also have the ability to make great changes within.
