The Healing Art of Homeopathy

I have received many questions about what homeopathy has to offer in light of the terrible disaster in Japan.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the people of Japan. Very little radiation will probably reach the West Coast of  North America, but is is still a good time to take some steps that will be good for you in general, as well as being protective in case of radiation exposure.

In this newsletter, I am offering a few ideas that you may find helpful at this time, and will write again as more information becomes available.

Supplement Iodine

It is a good idea to bring up you body’s iodine levels, for a number of reasons. Radioactive iodine will be absorbed by your body more readily if your iodine levels are too low, which is true for most Americans. And iodine is also utilized  by your adrenal glands, ovaries/testes, and insulin receptors.

The American RDA  for iodine is only 145 micrograms, while people in Japan average an intake of 13 milligrams. Research has shown that 13 mg. per day is needed  to meet the body’s needs.

A detoxification reaction can occur if too much iodine supplementation is started quickly, as other halogens such as bromine, fluorine, and chlorine, as well as heavy metals are released. This detoxification may include body aches, fatigue, and headaches, and mucus secretion. It is better to start with a smaller amount such as 3 mg. and work up.

Anyone with a thyroid condition such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis should not supplement iodine without medical supervision.

Selenium, magnesium, and flax seed or fish oil will help your body to absorb iodine and help to prevent detox reactions and should be supplemented along with iodine. 1 -2 teaspoons per day of Celtic sea salt will also help.

Homeopathy for fear and anxiety

When In Fright, Take Aconite! — Aconite is a great remedy when a sudden fearful experience makes us feel like we are about to die. Experiencing an earthquake or a car accident or other sudden trauma may induce and Aconite state. This would be a great remedy for the people of Japan
For those of us reading the headlines and coming up with all kinds of  upsetting scenarios in our brains,Arsenicum may be a better choice with its restlessness, anxiety, and sense of  insecurity, as if the world has gone out of control.
I hope these suggestions are useful to you, and I will write again soon.

Sincerely,

Here is a holistic approach to healing and health– a new paradigm that we sorely need.

Here’s an interesting article about the legal status of homeopathy in the US. As a board member of the Council for Homeopathic Certification, I have been working to create standards for homeopathy in North America.

A report of the largest study of homeopathy ever undertaken, based on data from over 11 million people (the entire population of Cuba), is published in the journal Homeopathy.1 It provides fascinating evidence that a highly dilute substance, prepared according to homeopathic principles, may contribute to the prevention of Leptospirosis.

Leptospirosis (also known as Weil’s Disease) is an infectious disease carried by rats and caused by bacteria called spirochetes. People contract the disease through contact with contaminated water. Leptospirosis occurs worldwide, but it is most common in the tropics during periods of heavy rain.

In Cuba, Leptospirosis is recorded by an efficient national surveillance programme. Its incidence correlates closely with heavy rainfall and subsequent flooding. In late 2007, in response to a developing epidemic, and with only enough vaccine to treat 15,000 high-risk people, the government decided to treat the entire population of the region, over one year of age, with a homeopathic medicine. This was prepared from the inactivated causative organism by the Cuban National Vaccine Institute.

The homeopathic medicine was given to the 2.3 million population of the provinces usually worst affected. Within a few weeks the number of cases had fallen from the forecast 38 to 4 cases per 100,000 per week, significantly fewer than the historically-based forecast for those weeks of the year.The 8.8 million population of the other provinces did not receive homeopathic treatment and the incidence was as forecast. The effect appeared to be sustained: there was an 84% reduction in infection in the treated region in the following year (2008) when, for the first time, incidence did not correlate with rainfall. In the same period, incidence in the untreated region increased by 22%.

“Infectious diseases are still the bane of humanity, particularly in the developing world”, states Dr Sara Eames, President of the Faculty of Homeopathy. “Anything which appears to reduce infection rates in a potentially fatal infection, particularly when it can be prepared and delivered quickly, safely and cost effectively, has to be taken seriously and studied further.”

Dr Peter Fisher, Editor of Homeopathy, notes “This is a very large study and its results, if confirmed, have huge potential impact. We need more research into the effectiveness of homeopathic preparations in preventing infectious diseases, complications, and the economic viability of a homeopathic approach.”

French virologist Luc Montagnier recently presented a new method for detecting viral infections that bore close parallels to the basic tenets of homeopathy.

He was speaking at the Lindau Nobel laureate meeting in Germany where 60 Nobel prize winners had gathered, along with 700 other scientists, to discuss the latest breakthroughs in medicine, chemistry and physics.

Montagnier told the conference that solutions containing the DNA of pathogenic bacteria and viruses, including HIV, “could emit low frequency radio waves” that induced surrounding water molecules to become arranged into “nanostructures”. These water molecules, he said, could also emit radio waves.

He suggested water could retain such properties even after the original solutions were massively diluted, to the point where the original DNA had effectively vanished. In this way, he suggested, water could retain the “memory” of substances with which it had been in contact — and doctors could use the emissions to detect disease.
