Vaccine Dangers
Many people have come to believe that the immune system is adversely affected by the use of vaccinations. Dr. Sherri Tenpenny agrees in Vol.10, Issue 1 of HealthKeepers Magazine. She writes, “Any substance that leads to an antibody response is called an immunogen. For a molecule to be immunogenic, it must be seen as foreign by the host. Vaccines are called effective because they are immunogenic. They are considered “antigens” because they lead to the production of an antibody. While antibodies are considered markers of immunity and protection, they do not guarantee protection from infection.
An antibody is a molecule that produces its effect, while circulating in the bloodstream. There are five distinct classes of antibodies: IgG, IgA, IgM, IgE, and IgD, easily remembered by the word, GAMED. The most abundant type of antibody found in the blood is IgG, a protein shaped like a capital letter Y that bind with a specific foreign antigen, creating a complex that in effect neutralizes and eliminates a foreign particle such as a virus or bacteria. The presence of IgG means the person has responded to a vaccination.
Two different types of IgG responses occur after vaccination. The first injection stimulates the immune system to respond and causes an initial IgG spike, initially detected about six days after the shot. The spike levels off in 12 to 14 days and then settles to a lower level. When the second shot is given, a strikingly large IgG response quickly occurs and lasts for several years. Because blood tests (called titers) are never ordered, a third dose of vaccine is administered routinely to children and adults who may not need it.
The immune response is categorized into two general areas; humoral, which involves the production of antibodies; and cell-mediated, which includes different types of white blood cells, including macrophages and several different lymphocytes. Active immunity and lifetime protection is gained when a person experiences and recovers from an infection. It is the interplay between the humoral and cell-mediation division that locks the event into the long-term memory of the immune system. When re-exposed to the pathogen, the immune system recognizes and eliminates it without having to experience the illness.
Alternatively, vaccination introduces only temporary, or passive immunity. By engaging only the humoral immune system and producing antibodies, no lifelong protection is obtained from vaccination. Vaccine-induced antibodies are gone within a few years. In other words, a person’s immune system and overall, long-term health are more robust if an illness such as chickenpox or measles is contracted and resolved naturally, as opposed to trying to avoid the infection through vaccination.
Despite all we know about the intricacies of the adult immune system, an investigation of the immune system of infants and small children has only recently begun and it is minimally understood. At the First International Neonatal Vaccination Conference held in Washington, D.C. (March, 2004). Professor Claire-Ann Siegrist, from France, delivered a detailed presentation on the complexities of a newborn’s immune system. Within the first moments of life, the infant is bombarded with millions of antigens. Both the humoral and cell-mediated immune system begins the process of developing resistance to the exposures and helpful protection is passed to the newborn through breast feeding. According to reserachers, this process continues exponentially throughout the first few months of life. Injections-such as hepatitis b vaccine and the vitamin K shot-during hte initial moments of life disrupt the rapidly developing, delicate and complex communication system within the newborn. When complex messenger molecules, such as cytokines and interleukins, lose their interconnection, serious immune system dysfunction can occur later in life.
Evidence of serious health consequences from vaccinating infants was recently confirmed in the Journal of Pediatrics. A group of randomly selected infants in a neonatal intensive care unit were given two or more vaccines on the same day. A separate group of infants were given one shot at a time, every three days. The vaccines in the study were DTap, Hib, polio [IPV], hepatitis B and Prevnar. An abnormal elevation of CRP occurred in 85% of infants who received simultaneous vaccines and up to 70 percent of those given a single vaccine, CRP, short for “C-reactive protein,” is a protein found in the blood that is a marker indicating a heightened state of inflammation in the body. In addition, 16 percent of all infants had cardiorespiratory events (stopped breathing) within 48 hours of the vaccines.
An elevated CRP, gastroesophageal reflux (GERD) and severe intraventricular hemorrhage (bleeding in the brain) were found in infants who received multiple vaccines. Infants who received DTap, Prevnar and Hib as single injections had elevated CRP levels and experienced cardiorespiratory events.
There are further concerns about elevated CRP levels. A study of 62 children who were part of a Diabetes Autoimmunity Study of the Young (DAISY) in Denver, Colorado, revealed that an elevated CRP level in infants and young children may be a marker for the risk of progression to type 1 diabetes (insulin dependent) later in life.
It is difficult to imagine that the introduction of viruses, bits of bacteria, mercury [aka Thimerosal), aluminum [which accumulates in the brain] and more than 100 additional chemicals into the body of an infant can be considered harmless. In truth the impact of vaccines on the immune system of a child under 2 years of age cannot be predicted.
If a child develops an autoimmune disorder, such as rheumatoid arthritis or insulin-dependent diabetes, vaccines are rarely, if ever, suspected as the inciting event even though evidence points to vaccines as a source of immune system disruption. In 200d, the journal Vaccine reported a study in which all relevant publications between 1966 and June 2004 were reviewed to determine if there was an association between autoimmune manifestations and vaccination. The most frequently reported autoimmune manifestations for the various vaccinations were 1) Hepatitis B - rheumatoid arthritis, reactive arthritis, vasculitis, encephalitis, neuropathy and thrombocytopenia; 2) MMR - acute arthritis or arthralgia, chronic arthritis and thrombocytopenia; 3) Influenza-Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) and vasculitis; 4) Polio-GBS; and 5) Chickenpox (varicella)- mainly neurological symptoms.
In addition to autoimmune disorders; vaccines and vaccine components are associated with chronic diseases. Tetanus toxoid, influenza vaccines, polio vaccine, rubella vaccines and others have been related to phenomena ranging from auto-antibody production to full-blown chronic illness (such as rheumatoid arthritis). The hepatitis b vaccine has been particularly troublesome with nearly 200 reports in the medical literature of illnesses associated with the vaccine.
Pediatricians point to the abundance of epidemiological studies to reassure parents that there is no association between vaccines and asthma. Large epidemiological studies make the thousands of children who have developed asthma after vaccinations “statistically insignificant” in comparison to the millions of shots given. The larger the denominator, the easier it is to discount the size of the numerator. For example, 231 injured in a study that involved 679,900 persons makes the percentage of those injured (0.034 percent) appear extremely small.
Nonetheless, evidence of the connection between vaccines and illness exists, and individual experiences affirm the connection. A study from Australia found that fully vaccinated children had a higher risk of developing asthma as adults. In a study of 450 children, 11 percent who had received the pertussis vaccination suffered from asthma, as compared with only 2 percent of children who had not been vaccinated.
A small study published in 2000 uncovered an association between vaccines with allergies and allergy-related respiratory symptoms. The results showed that the odds of developing asthma were twice as great among vaccinated subjects with DTap or tetanus than among unvaccinated subjects. In addition, the odds of developing allergy-related symptoms within 12 months of a vaccine were 63 percent greater among vaccinated subjects than unvaccinated subjects. This association was greater among children ages 5 through 10 years of age.
Drugs are prescribed when symptoms develop. Severe disruptions, such as autoimmune diseases, asthma, allergies, ADD/ADHD, seizure disorders and cancer, can create customers for life for the pharmaceutical industry. There are safer, more effective ways to stay healthy. Saying no to vaccines may be your first step to better health.”

Laurie Melcuk, a Teleosis alum from Western Massachusetts writes in Homeopathy Today (Summer 2015), that her son was a cross-country runner in the fall of 2014. She suggested to him that he try using homeopathic cell salts to help his performance. “It turned out to be a great experiment because the time it takes an athlete to run a particular course doesn’t vary by much. When people break their former records [by], 30 seconds, [it’s] a pretty big deal.”
According to Dr. Schussler, there are 12 cell salt remedies that have been used to keep people healthy. Dr. Schussler, a German homeopathic physician investigated the chemical make-up of ashes of human tissue, paying particular attention to the human cells found within. This research led him to the belief that all tissues were essentially made up of 12 inorganic mineral salts. If one or more are absent from the body, the proper function is disrupted, inviting dis-ease.
The minerals calcium and magnesium are necessary to the body for muscle contraction, thus Laurie suggested Calcarea Phos and Magnesium phos adding in Ferrum Phos because running demands efficient use of oxygen by the lungs and muscles as iron is needed for metabolism of oxygen.
Young Melcuk used the cell salt combination for the first time during a practice run, taking Ferrum Phos 6x about three hours beforehand and Calc & Mag Phos about a half hour before his run. Laurie asked her son how practice went. His response was shocking, “I couldn’t feel my legs.” This would alarm any parent however, she explained that normally, pain would begin to take over in his legs altering how fast he could run. “This time, I couldn’t run fast enough to make my legs hurt. But I couldn’t breathe!” Hearing that Laurie suggested he take the Ferrum Phos 6x closer to the start time to better aid with oxygenation.
Pairing Mag phos 6x, Calc phos 6x and Ferrum phos 6x and giving this to Laurie’s son about a half hour before his actual race resulted in something that shocked his coach. He broke his personal best record by nearly two minutes! In the cross-country running circles, that’s huge! He vowed to continue with this protocol to help him with endurance.
She noted that once her son had forgotten to take this incredible cell salt combination with him for a race. His times were significantly slower and once home he remarked the difference he felt.

Migraine Pain?
“Headaches are the primary complaint of Americans. Citizens spend about six billion dollars per year on pain medications and over-the-counter formulas for relief. It is estimated that yearly, approximately 90% of men and 95% of women suffer from headaches painful enough to send them to doctors’ offices. The source of the headaches is not located in the brain itself as there are no sensory nerves in the brain. Pain placed inside the skull is rare and usually due to tumors or other disorders; the pain is a secondary symptom. Most headache pain begins outside the skull in the nerves leading to the muscles and blood vessels around the face, scalp and neck
The most common types of headaches include migraines, tension, and cluster. Often, a person can experience a combination of headaches. But headaches may also be caused by other underlying problems like sinus or allergies.
Food or stress can trigger migraines. Migraines are often called avoidance headaches. Migraine headaches produce a throbbing pain on one side of the head, but the pain can spread to the entire head. Often nausea and sometimes vomiting occur. Visual symptoms are common. Facial tingling or numbness may occur. Other symptoms include extreme sensitivity to noise and lights. USually the attacks last from 4 to 72 hours without treatment, and commonly interfere with normal activity to some extent. Migraine sufferers may look pale and feel cold. Sometimes the victim gets a forewarning of an attack with malaise, fatigue, and mood changes. It is not uncommon for the sufferer to feel exhausted and mentally foggy for hours after an attack.
Triggers can include stress, anxiety, anger, depression, menstruation, use of oral contraceptives or hormone replacement drugs. Foods like dairy, MSG, eggs, anything pickled, alcohol, coffee, teas, chocolate, wheat, or tomatoes are common. Any food can be a culprit. Other causes can come from one’s environment like, perfumes, paint, new carpet, glues, fumes or other strong chemical odors. Missing or delaying a meal can trigger a migraine episode, flickering fluorescent lights, sunlight, travel between time zones, loud noises, bone structural misalignment, muscle spasms with trigger points, alteration of one’s sleep cycle, certain types of drugs and low magnesium levels.
Tension or muscle-contraction headaches are the most common form of headaches. Tension headaches account for about 75% of all headache pain and are usually in response to stress, fatigue or environmental factors. Pain is often felt in the forehead due to muscle contractions of head, neck, back or facial muscle. This forehead pain can often begin at the base of the skull. The muscles of the upper back or neck contract, cousin the pain to refer to the head which is frequently described as a tight feeling, like a bad or vise around the head. The neck and shoulders often feel sore, and the person can develop trigger points in the muscles which can develop into scar tissue within the muscle. These trigger points cause the muscle to go into contraction from stress, anxiety, overuse, poor posture or staying in the same position for an extended period of time.
The most important supplement for 90% of headaches is magnesium. Magnesium chloride most resembles the magnesium within the body.
Cluster headaches can cause severe one-sided head pain, usually centering around the eye. Other symptoms include excessive tearing, drooping eyelid, stuffy or runny nose, all on the side of the pain. Restlessness may also occur. This type of pain can be so severe that the sufferer bangs their head against the wall. Cluster headaches can last from 30 to 90 minutes but can last for hours.
Other types of headaches can be from sinus, from TMJ( temporomandibular joint) dysfunction, glaucoma, hypertension or raised blood pressure, and occipital neuralgia headaches (usually found in senior populations).
If you have persistent pain that does not respond to rest and treatment, consult your quality healthcare provider. If you experience a headache accompanied by severe pain, drowsiness, confusion, mood swings, visual disturbance, weakness or paralysis, consult a physician immediately.
There are some supports that have provided relief. Some amino acids, DLPA and GABA as well as herbal preparations of ashwagandha and boswellia and vitamin B6 may help. A word of caution, DO NOT if you have PKU, are pregnant, lactating, have a history of melanoma or if you take MAO inhibitor or tricyclic antidepressants. Boswella, an herb from India can reduce inflammation and swelling, causing pain. Riboflavin taken daily may help prevent migraine though it may take up to 2 months to notice a difference according to Dr. Stephen Silberstein, director of Jefferson Headache Center at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia. For migraines triggered by allergic reaction, taking Alka-Seltzer Gold can bring immediate relief neutralizing the allergic mechanism within the body. Accuband magnets can be used on trigger points on the neck and upper back to relieve pain. These magnets are tiny but powerful applied as an adhesive patch which can help alleviate pain instantly. A word of caution though, do not use it if you are pregnant, have a pacemaker or other implanted medical device. B complex daily may help. And NAC (N-acetylcysteine) can aid the sinus/congestion headache.
Other remedies that may offer relief are elevating the head above the waist and applying ice packs to the base of the neck and upper shoulders alternating 20 minutes on followed by 30 minutes off. Be sure to avoid using a heat source for muscle-contraction or migraine headaches. And for sinus headache pain, applying a moist, hot towel to sinuses can facilitate sinus drainage. Using a mixture of saline and MSM in a nasal irrigation tool may also offer some assistance as well.”

Heal with Amino Acids and Nutrients by Billie J. Sahley and Katherine M. BirknerPolycystic Ovarian Syndrome {A Homeopathic Approach]
The symptoms in the syndrom are acne, irregular or absent periods, obesity, hirsutism (excessive growth of body hair) and infertility. Not all patients have every symptom. In fact some people are not overweight. This can cause difficulty when doctors are not inclined to refer for inestigations if the patient does not fit all the categories.
An ultrasound scan shows that sufferers have changes in the ovaries which cause multiple small cysts to occur without ovulation. The cysts are arranged around the outisde of the ovary, just under the surface and have not been able to rupture as they should at ovulation.
As ovulation does not occur, hormone levels do not fall as they would normally do. Consequently mentruation, which occurs in response to falling levels of hormones, may be delayed or abset. I feel that htis situation should be able to be picked up early in teenagers who do not mentruate regularly. At this point, some homeopathic remedies would help, but the patient and the doctor need to be aware that irregularity may indicate pathology and some tests need to be done, even if no other symptoms are present. I call this early stage the "tough ovary" situation. It is as if the covering (capsule) of the ovary is too tough to allow the follicle to burst when it has ripened. Some cyclical Folliculinum and Ovarian gland in 30c potency usually helps at this early stage.
The elevated levels of testosterone and estrogen eventually result in hirsutism, acne and long or absent menstrual cycles and obesity. A primary cause is thought to be high levels of insulin due to insulin resistance, where the body tissues do not respond normally to insulin which may be a genetic abnormality. Women with this syndrome (also called Syndrome X) are therefore at risk of premature heart attacks, premature menopause and abnormal growth of the uterine linning (endometrium) which can lead to cancer.
Conventional treatment of the infertility, which is what takes most women to their doctor, is with clomiphene, which is said to induce ovulation in 70 percent of patients. Inducing ovulation is not the same as getting pregnant though. If people are overweight, a low carbohydrate load diet is advised and also the medication metformin which people with type 2 diabetes take.
In order to understand this complex syndrome I analyzed ten patients I had seen in the previous year. I was looking to see how each patient presented, which homeopathic medicines were successful and what the outcome was.
The youngest was 18, two were in their 20s and seven in their 30s, the oldest being 39. This reflects the situation that people are waiting until later to start their families and when they want to become pregnant find that they have a problem. The 18 year-old was a student, but everyone else was in full-time work, often in busy, stressful jobs like teaching.
Acne - Seven patients had acne and two had had Roaccutane which hcan only be prescribed by a cosultant dermatologiest. At no time was PCOS considered as a diagnosis. Dermatologiests do not normally ask about periods.
Hirsutism - Seven patients had abnormal body hair. One had had it since age 16 and was now 31.
Menstrual cycle - All the patients had abnornally long menstrual cycles. Six had had the problem since they started menstruating. Ususally if a teenager goes to the doctor complaining of a long cycle, investigations for PCOS are not undertaken and the patient is ressured that things will settle down. I don't know if anyone has done any research to see what proportion on young girls who complain of a long cycle do revert to normal and how long it takes, but it seems to be a missed opportunity to diagnose the condition. The situation of a long cycle is not common anyway in my experience, so I would take it seriously if it were presented to me at that age.
Weight - Six patients were overweight, so four were not - an important observation. None was diabetic. The Americans describe five different types of PCOS accoding to the variations in the symtpoms, but in three of the variations the weight is normal. This one time when you can blame your glands for your weight!
Infertility - Only four patients complained of infretility and in fact another was actually pregnant. The other five were not contemplating pregnancy. One patient had a child already but had been unable to conceive again and one patient had two children.
Concomitant problems - One patient suffered depression and grief, one depression, alcohol problems, heavy smoking, Syndrome X and bulimia, one had epilepsy and suicidal depression, and one had recurrent cystitis and Irritable Bowel Syndrome, and one had panic attacks and had repeated courses of antibiotics.
Eight patients had their hormone levels checked. One had not and one was not sure. Four were told that their testosterone levels were not elevated and the rest were not told their results. Seven had had an ultrasound scan, in two of whom no cysts were seen. This does not necessarily mean that cysts were not there, only that they were not seen. Sometimes ovaries are not easy to see if the patient is very overweight or the ovaries are positioned deep in the pelvis. One patient had not been offered a scan. This mean that only five patients had a definite dignosis of PCOS, which tells you that GPs do not consider a diagnosis of PCOS or that they feel the expense of investigations is not warranted.
However, it is important to make a diagnosis because there may be treatment implications - diabetes and Syndrome X must not be left unchecked. I now check the blood sugar of everyone who is overweight. Although only five patients had a definite diagnosis, the other five had not had an explantion for their long menstrual cycles and other symptoms. Where there were classical symptoms of PCOS but no confirmatory test results, I explained my theory of the "tough ovarian capsule" situation. I did suggest to three patients that they ask their GPs for test and one person was refused.
It is very important for poeple who are overweight to lose it and for diabetics and women who have Syndrome X to stick to a low carbohydrate (glycemic) load way of eating. Glycemic load is simply the best measure of whether a food, a meal, or a diet will help create blood sugar control, and help lose weight (see Patrick Holford's web site or his book Low GL Diet Made Easy). People who are overweight all have emotional problems focused on food, for example comfort eating. One patient in this study had bulimia, which always is emotional in origin and has added emotional overtones. When you emback on treating PCOS you are treating a chronic condition that has often been present, albeit unrecognized, for many years, which is why people become depressed. Homeopathy is the only system that looks at the whole person and not just at their hormones and ovaries.
Mrs. KJ, aged 31, came to see me because she had PCOS for ten years and during her first pregnancy she had a large ovarian cyst which could not be operated on and she had to have caesarean section. She was now pregnant for the second time and wanted to try and deliver normally.
Her PCOS was diagnoed at the age of 21 when she was experiencing irregular bleeding. At the time she was workingon a ship which she found very stressful. She developed sever acne which was treated by a dermatologist with Minocin, a strong antibiotic. After this she developed irregular bleeding and a scan showed ovarian cysts. She was put onto estrogen patches. She then conceived naturally, but developed the large cyst. The cyst was dealt with during the caesarean.
Eventually she wanted to conceive again, but was unable to. She was referred back to the gynecologist and was due to have a laparoscopy when she became pregnant.
By nature she was a home person. On board ship she had been very homesick. She was very moody and often burst into tears. She hated stuffy atmospheres and always slept with the window open. She hated to be cold. Despire what she thought about her acne scars, she was a very attractive person with blond hair and blue eyes.
I prescribed Pulsatilla 200c, three tablets to be taken in one day once a month whilst pregnant. She did not develop any cysts and went on to deliver normally.
Out of the ten patients treated, two were lost to follow up. Three were unable to handle the diet, however one had an improvement in her cycle despite having considerable emotional problems exposed which can be difficult to treat. Another felt she had had a therapeutic consultation. There were lots o fimprovements recorded in the patients' cycles, in their diets and in their mental health.
This is a complex syndrome with a lot of symptoms in different systems and often of long standing. It would obviously take a long time fo rchanges and recovery to occur. Sometimes there is not enough time and patients find the conventional system with its quick fixes hard to resist.

Healthy Liver
When we eat, food is digested in the mouth, stomach and intestinal tract where the digested food is absorbed into the blood stream, which takes it close to each individual cell. Food and oxygen are transferred into cells where nutrients are metabolized into energy, metabolic debris, carbon dioxide and water. It is the accumulation wastes which frequently interfere with normal cell function.
As cells produce metabolic debris, blood carries it to organs of detoxification, the liver, kidneys, skin, mucous membranes, lungs and colon. If these organs are filled with debris from teh cells, and before long, we have 70-100 trillion garbage cans completely full. Like the city dump being filled to capacity and not accepting any more garbage trucks. Then your home becomes overloaded with garbage and normal household functions are interfered with. Before long, the entire community has become bogged down. "Clean blood" then acts as a highway for garbage trucks which are dependent upon the organs of detoxification.
In the liver major detoxing takes place, removing preservatives, environmental contaminants, chemical pollutants, metabolic wastes, etc., from the body. As much concern should exist for the liver as for the heart. Care of this vital organ should be taken if hepatitis, cirrhosis of the liver, infectious mononucleosis or other liver damage has ever occured. Intake of anything which places undue stress on the liver should be eliminated, suchn as chemicals, synthetic foods, drugs, food additives such as preservatives, emulsifiers, stabilizers, sweeteners, colors, alcoholic and carbonated beverages, hair sprays, deodorants, etc.
One of the most important procedures for persons over 25 years of age is flushing the liver. After you gain approval from your healthcare provider, the flush should be repeated every 6 months. To do this, fast on organic and unfiltered apple juice/cider for 3 days drinking 8 ounces of apple juice every hour or 2 during the day. At the end of each day, at least 1 enema, preferably garlic, should be taken. On the evening of the 3rd day (approx. 5-6pm) 2-4 oz of fresh squeezed lemon juice mixed with 2-4 oz (virgin, organic olive oil) should be given. In 5 hours, another 2-4 oz lemon juice mixed with olive oil is to be retaken, followed with an enema in about 4 hours and/colonic the next morning, depending on the severity of toxic symptoms.
Apple juice softens any stones in the gallbladder and allows them to pass though the duct. Some poeple have passed up to 75-100 stones. Most people report report slight to moderate nausea when taking the oil-juice mixture, which slowly disappears upon sleep. Should vomiting of the oil-juice mixture occur, the mixted need not be repeated at this time. Often, people suffering from gallstones, backaches, nausea, sometimes for years, find gallstone type objects in the stool. If there seems to be a large number of these, a liver flush is best to be repeated every 2 weeks.
Using herbs that promote the flow of bile can assist in overcoming this condition. Dandelion, beets, barberry, Oregon grape root, and carrot juice can come to the rescue. Cascara sagrada, parsley and goldenseal can help the gallbladder, as well. Garlic, eaten raw or powdered and taken daily can make an outstanding performance. Equally parsley root or leaves are excellent for difficult urination, stones and obstructions of liver or spleen. Vitamins and minerals good for the liver are Vitamin A, B complex, C, E Choline, Folic Acid, Pantothenic Acid (B5), Copper and Sulphur.
Bach Flower for Worry, etc...
It’s no secret that I’ve spent a good share of my life working towards finding emotional healing from trauma. Right now, my best friend in this arena seems like Bach flower essences. They are homeopathic dilutions made from the flowers of trees, shrubs and other plants. What does that mean? It means that I can use White Chestnut on a specific point on the heart meridian to help. What is the benefit? Emotionally and mentally, it helps me to stop worrying. Physically, less stress on my heart.
According to John’s Hopkins’ Dr. Una McCann states, “It’s my view and my personal clinical experience that anxiety disorders can play a major role in heart disease.” She states further, “When someone is anxious, their body reacts in ways that can put an extra strain on their heart. The physical symptoms of anxiety can be especially damaging among individuals with existing cardiac disease. Some of these include, rapid heart rate, increased blood pressure, and decreased heart rate variability.
What symptoms were present to lead me to White Chestnut? Worry. Manual muscle testing led me to the heart meridian. The best part of using Bach flower essences? They’re relatively inexpensive, have immediate positive outcomes, and can provide lasting relief when used with a little knowledge.
What’s causing upset for you? Is it worry? Fear? Depression? While Bach flower essences are not a cure all, there is a learning curve, they certainly have their place. Blessings to your health!
Quantum Kinesiology
After determining the areas of the body that relates to the health challenge for that individual a person-specific protocol is suggested using the iTera Care physiotherapy device. What happens next is nothing short of remarkable! I've seen a woman who came to the session limping due to foot pain and leave walking normally. It was truly thrilling to be part of that incredible moment for her.
Walking Woes
Athletes who complain about sore muscles are often told to soak the body part in question in Epsom Salts which is magnesium sulfate. Every part of our body, including cells, nerves, muscles and bones need magnesium for normal function thus making it a perfect choice.
What a simple, yet effective solution to such a life altering problem!
The enemy itch
In this case homeopathic Rhus Toxicodendron (in a 30c or 200c potency) the Latin name for the poison ivy plant, has been my go-to remedy to clear up that horrible itch that pervades. What a wonder it is to stop the itching and clear up those pesky bumps that come up and ooze their clear liquid! In just a few doses, the bumps dry up. Once I see that, I feel such a relief, mainly so I can stop doing so many loads of laundry. I won't wear or sleep in/on the same thing twice, just to make sure it doesn't spread the oils it puts out. Better to be safe than sorry.
Homeopathy to the Rescue!
