Homeopathy I (26/08/2006)

 

Homeopathy I

I am sure many of you heard about Homeopathy. For many of you it seamed to complicate or you had no access to it. This is what happened to me. Than 5 years ago a friend always pushed me to start using them. Even gave me a bag of remedies to use! Finally I got myself together and got into it. And… it is fantastic. Once you understand how Homeopathy works it is so easy to use.

Where does it come from? A German – Dr. Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843) discovered it finally 1790, while the knowledge goes back to 400 BC. Thanks so much Dr. Hahnemann! He had to go though hard times as many inventors of new ideas, but finally he made it and by the end of the last century 15% of the physicians in USA were Homeopaths. But what happened than? Well, two quite well known American multimillionaires (Who eels?) decided, that the cure with Homeopathy is taking too long and that their employees are too long sick. So these two nice men decided to get people taking the new “chemical wonder drugs”. The rest is history. These days you cannot get out of a practiconer without a bag full of drugs… Or a doctor who does not give you a bag full of drugs is not good! All these drugs have far more side effects than they actually cure. These days the highest rate to use homeopathy in the world is India. Indians using homeopathy on regular base – even treatments in hospitals are supported with homeopathy. Homeopathy is the health solution for poor countries, but the profits are not high enough! So who cares? The Royals in England have for 150 years their own Homeopaths (not the same) in the palace. Guess that’s why they all so healthy and getting so old. Did you know that drugs prescribed from Doctors in USA kill over 100 000 people each year? Easy going stuff like Aspirin and Paracetamol… That is not so easy!

What is Homeopathy? I don’t want to go too much into details, but Homeopathy is based on the fundamental law “Like is cured by like”. For example a Belladona pure taken as a drink would kill you, but the Homeopathic remedy Belladonna heals fevers and many more and is without any side effects. Hahnemann, diluted the basic substance and shacked them. The process is now known as potentizeing remedies. It is still done this way today. There are more than 600 remedies today, in many different potencies. 6x is the lowest I know and they go quite far up to 1Mx and I think more. Usually at home using 30x or 200x is a very good choice. All the remedies are listed and described in the Materia Medica – the bible of the Homeopaths. I spent hours and hours jumping though it and found the most incredible connections. For example hard water can have an influence on our health too! But there is a remedy that can help. But usually a Handbook of Homeopathy is the one you can use for your family. There are some books special on kids. I got four books at home and the combination of them is just perfect. I always cross check the four books and find so very easy the right solution.

How safe is it to take Homeopathy? It is absolutely safe! There has never ever been a report of lasting adverse drug reaction in Homeopathy. Never! The worst happening is… you took the wrong and it does not do anything to you. Homeopathic remedies are not toxic. It can be taken from pregnant woman, babies, children, elderly. Sometimes people freak out if you offer them Homeopathy. I have a friend, she bottle feeds her kids, gives them junk food (lots of MSG), buys any kind of drug out of a Pharmacy, but when I offered her Cammomille for her teething toddler, she was scared and told me she need to check out first what that is and what it does to her child. Even she knew I drained my daughter with it for 2 ½ years. I think the bottle is still full and the toddler still has teething pains! Another one told me: “Well, what if my child gets addicted after so many doses? I heard so many bad things about natural drugs and herbs” I hear more bad stuff about Aspirin and Paracetamol! My daughter took 2 ½ years Cammomille 200x and the day her last tooth was out she did not need it anymore. The bottle is not opened since. It is so save that your toddler can take a whole glass (happened to me – you never have enough eyes on a toddler) – while you having a shower or a phone call – and you do not have to rush to the next hospital. Just make sure she never does that again… And there is one formula in Homeopathy I never forget: The more you use them the less you need them! After 5 years now I have to say – this is true. In the beginning I would just run though bottles, but now there sit most of the time in their box. We all are so much healthier.

Why is it not more used? Well, guess why? It is too cheep. If everybody in the world would take natural remedies than big drug companies – who have more power these days than governments – would be bankrupt! It is also about education. If the knowledge is not given to people how can they know. In Third World counties where half of the people cannot read or have access to books? In our Western world where TV and Magazines are taking over the education and they are sponsored by the drug companies? Who is taking the time to sit down over a 300 pages Homeopathic book, if you not motivated and stimulated from someone… I hope you got some stimulation now!

So finally… Why? I can tell you so many stories of how great homeopathy is working, but I make it easy for you with giving you just three examples:

· One month ago I felt down a staircase. The stairs had sharp corners and I already knew while still falling, that I really hurt myself. I got up, but saw stars and stripes… Managed after a few minutes to go upstairs to my bag and took immediately Arnica 200x. And 15 minutes later another doses. I sat down and felt that my legs were swelling, but not the expected pain. After one hour I could drive my car home and managed to look for all needs at home. But at night I could feel that there was still something going on. So I took Arnica 1Mx. A single doses, I wanted to make sure it got the right boost. The next morning I still had swellings, but hardly any pain. 48 hours after I was okay. Still remaining blue stains and scratches for 3 weeks. Out of experience I know normally without Arnica I would have been down for at least one week not been able to walk at all.

· I just heard of a case of a 1 year old girl in Italy. She was on the beach with parents and friends when she suddenly had high fever. She was than rushed to the hospital where they treated the fever. 8 hours after the onset of the fever the girl died. After she was diagnosed with Meningitis. The hospital just did not have enough time to diagnose and help her. On a normal base just to treat the fever was not enough to save her life. We looked up the Homeopathic books and found: Belladonna used normally as the first remedy when fever is involved is also treating Meningitis. So, we believe if the girl would have been immediately treated with Belladonna against her fever the hospital would have had time to diagnose the Meningitis and treat her with an appropriate drug. The girl might be still alive! Cases like this can happen anywhere in the world!

· A kids birthday party in Bali. All kids parting, but suddenly one is getting red blisters and allergic reactions. Her mom told me she probably got together with a caterpillar (Ulat – hairy and they can cause nasty allergic reactions all over the body within minutes). I usually have a basic first add set in my bag. I treated the girl with a Homeopathic antihistamine which my homeopath told me it can be even used on snack bites. (No proof on my side on this yet!) But we gave her 5 doses in one hour and I put a doses in a water bottle which she was still drinking for the rest of the day. A local health service was called and they said to rush her to the hospital. The mother was quite calm and trusted in what we both did. She was a great help. We both felt the girl will be okay. The girl was stressed, but not crying. She had quite heat in her body, but it went down within 15 minutes. 1 hour later she was with the other kids again, still some itchy, but okay. If she would have been to the hospital? No party, taking blood from a 2 year old, treating her with drugs. Stress pure! Trauma! (There are cased which need to be rushed to the hospital – but even than it is better to have the homeopathic remedy to over bridge the time to the hospital, diagnose and treatment! And there are cased they never reach the hospital… they to far away!)

I hope you all are now interested in Homeopathy. Bali for Kids.com is offering the remedies right now for you in Bali were they are not available in Pharmacies and Health Food stores just over the counter. Sad enough! There are some Homeopaths around who are treating patients, but no places sell them and treatments are quite expensive comparing to the 40.000R a local doctor would charge. We hope soon someone will sell them! We also hope today we put another brick in the wall to health in Bali and the rest of the world…
