Pregnant and feeling ghastly from morning sickness? What about afternoon, evening or night sickness? These remedies listed by a pioneering homeopathic obstetrician, Dr Henry Guernsey, are used just a frequently by homeopaths today as they were back then – as long as the symptoms match – to rapidly relieve morning or any-time-of-the-day sickness.

Thanks to the National Center for Homeopathy. If you live in the US, please consider joining them and supporting the fantastic work they do in promoting homeopathy – you’ll receive a wealth of homeopathic information in return.

“Because there is nothing in it and there is no possible explanation for its action it is widely understood that homoeopathy cannot work… This perceived wisdom seems reasonable enough and there is general acceptance of it within science, the media and the opinion makers. Where humans offer their own story to insist that homoeopathy has worked for them their testimony is dismissed as anecdotal and any effect seen as placebo, or at best effective because someone listened to their problems.

“One might be tempted to follow the rationale that the only effect is psychosomatic, but for the fact that those most pragmatic of people, farmers, are using it on their animals and finding that it works. So while the message about this fallacy called homoeopathy has been very widely reported, it would appear that no one has remembered to explain it to the animals. From large commercial robotic dairy herds to smallholders with a few animals, farmers are using remedies they chose for themselves and finding them to be very effective.”

On reading further we have lots of stories from farmers saying things like:

“Lambing is when we use homoeopathy most frequently and to good effect.”

“Using homoeopathy means we can sell our eggs…we want to do it properly.”

“We use homoeopathy in stressful situations and we see the animals recover faster. I use it because it often works better than conventional things.”

This newsletter is well worth checking out. For those in the UK, there is also an upcoming training course that will teach you how to use homeopathy on the farm.

The important thing to keep in mind as you read it is that mixtures of remedies are usually not as good as singles especially in the treatment of chronic diseases such as Alzheimer’s. They may hinder as much as help by confusing the symptom picture and don’t treat as deeply.

Wisely, Bardot brings balance to this article by discussing indications for some of the single remedies BUT there are others as well.

Fran Sheffield, one of our clinic homeopaths said on reading this article, “One lady I am currently treating for Alzheimers is doing very well, first with Phosphorus and now Lycopodium. Another is progressing nicely with Arsenicum. None of these remedies are on the list. So, for good results, please see a qualified homeopath who will prescribe the remedy that matches the symptoms … and all the best!”

It all came about following a severe case of hay fever and a camping trip. Watch this short video from the UK Faculty of Homeopathy, and beneath it, read a summary of what Geoff says.

He had suffered his whole life with hay fever – the type that was so bad you wanted to claw your eyes out.

He had been keeping it under control with antihistamines for many years but one year when he went camping, he forgot to take them with him and had severe hay fever.

A friend told him to visit a homeopath who was camping five tents down. She asked him many seemingly unrelated questions and then gave him one pill for the hay fever

He was sceptical that a single pill would work, as he was used to dosing frequently with large amounts of antihistamine

After an hour, his hay fever was 90% better.

Since that day, he has not taken another antihistamine

He was amazed as it seemed impossible and went against everything he had been taught at university.

He then went on to study homeopathy and now treats animals only with homeopathy and nutrition

Geoff says he absolutely loves homeopathy – it’s taught him so many things he has never learnt anywhere else

He’s not just reading veterinary manuals but about philosophy, quantum physics, nature and the natural world – something that led him to become a vet in the first place.

Geoff continues to do homeopathy because it works deeply and powerfully and treats patients such as unhappy dogs, depressed horses, aggressive cows and their unpleasant physical ailments.

To see them get better … there’s nothing else he would rather do.

This is a welcome change in policy but if the new draft is to have any validity, the NHMRC must include representatives from the homeopathic profession on the committee so submitted material can be assessed and commented on in an informed manner. We will keep you posted as further information becomes available.

Thanks to all who contacted the NHMRC, concerned that their initial draft was based on a UK parliamentary report from a discredited committee which claimed homeopathy was no better than placebo. If you do contact the NHMRC  about its new draft, consider directing them to the much more reliable and comprehensive Swiss Government report which concluded in 2011 that that homeopathic treatment is both effective and cost-effective and that homeopathic treatment should be reimbursed by Switzerland’s national health insurance program.

Copies of this lengthy report, Homeopathy in Healthcare, can be either purchased or read as sections online.

On the way, he and other homeopaths conducted the first scientific trials on patients and medicines when blood-letting and indiscriminate poisonings were the way to go with the orthodox medicine of the time.

He described the presence of micro-organisms and their ability to mutate well before Koch could ever see them with his microscope and advised extensively on the importance of hygiene and nutrition well before there was any community or medical awareness of their importance. He was a man ahead of his time.

These and other homeopathic ‘firsts’ are presented in greater detail on the H:MC21 site.

It concludes with the following thought provoking statement:

“The fact that homeopathy is at the forefront of medicine is shown by another curious fact: all the arguments used against homeopathy were used in Hahnemann’s lifetime, and he himself responded to them. If no new arguments have appeared in more than 160 years, it shows that homeopathy does not conflict with any of the scientific advances during that time. Indeed, modern knowledge of physics, micro-organisms, drug actions, genetics and homeostasis actually tend to confirm homeopathic theory.”
