The Realities about using Natural Remedies by Ni Zain

Over the last years I came often around the question if the remedies we using in Holistic Healing are save, if the tested, if they cause damage, if we know enough about them. To answer this question is honestly not so easy, because some remedies can actually be dangerous, some of the effects of remedies can cause side effects which can cause more problems. Holistic Remedies can cause a so called healing crisis, which if not well understood how a certain remedy works, can cause stress.

A few weeks ago I sent out an e-mail with suggestions how to prevent and heal Dengue fever and so help your family. Uhhhh, this caused a big: Is this save, does it work, can you really drink the juice of Papaya leaves? Since than I have helped a few people around me to get over Dengue. One case of a friend was very strong and she was lucky we could help her with the Papaya Leave juice. In my family we drink the juice twice a week and we all still healthy and alive... Many times I am very surprised about comments about Holistic Remedies, while nobody is asking about the effects of medicine or GMO Foods to our bodies. I think most of it gets down to misinformation and wrong usage of Holistic Remedies and many of you do not know that Holistic Healing normally always causes a so called healing crisis. If you treating your children with natural remedies and you don't understand the effect of remedies, this can be scary.

The point is: Just because research has not done from a big government agency or medical companies: It does not count. That Papaya Leave juice and salad has helped local Indonesians for thousands of years and that each old nenek (grandmother) knows about it, is surely not a prove. But if a big pharma company with 1% of side effect deads (in case of Aspirin this adds up each year alone in the US to more than 100.000 deads from Aspirin), says a medicine is save, everyone believes. Yes, nobody even asks if this particular Antibiotic your doctor has given you, has killed how many children.

I like to give you some simple examples of misunderstood knowledge in holistic healing:

Colloidal Silver: It helps in many diseases and it is save, yes. But, if the Colloidal is not made well you can have no effect or even experience after a while a blue coloring of the skin. If you take it all the time it might also not work anymore, as you simply overdosing it and you can get a silver toxicity. On the other hand in case of cancer it is suggested to take up to 2 liters of Colloidal each day for at least 2-3 months. Surely there you have strong side effects from the Colloidal killing matter in your body, which, if not removed proper can than cause major problems again. So you never shall do this with enough background knowledge and perhaps the guidance of someone who has enough experience in the fields of Holistic Healing. Often I get mails and people ask me how much to give to their kids, I always tell them that it is impossible to tell if I don't know the history and see the child, as we don't know how the child will respond to the Colloidal Silver. By now I have learned that Colloidal also need to be used the right way and one needs to understand about dosage, storage and possible healing effects. So I suggest all parents to first do a lot of research on Colloidal Silver before you give it to your children, so you will know what can be signs of overdose or a healing effect even it is really a save supplement to use.

Homeopathy: Since I came across the knowledge of Homeopathy I never stopped using it again. I have about 50 remedies in different strengths in my home and use them less and less ( the more you use it, the less you need it), but always got a little emergency bag in my bag and it has often done a great job. Homeopathy is very save and a great way to help your children. For example Arnica is a great remedy for pain: I have often used it on myself and kids. With kids I have seen them stop crying in 2 minutes after taking the pillets. I have used Homeopathy to treat many problems and cured a lot of my little problems with it. For nursing moms there is a great remedy for example to get easy back to sleep after a night nurse. I used it a lot and it helped me to get the sleep I needed. On the other hand as any other remedy used the wrong way it can cause problems. Many don't know that an overdose of a homeopathic remedy can actually kill you too. This does not happen right away. The remedy will change you into a condition, if you don't get the antidote to balance this condition, this condition can over several years really kill you. So don't take it too easy if you child took a whole bottle of homeopathy. See a trained homeopath and get the right antidote to change the condition back to normal and store the remedies on a child save place. Some homeopathic remedies shall only be used and taken under the supervision of a trained homeopath, as their healing effects are very strong and they need to be given in the right dose and the right way. But the normal house kit you can get is easy to use, easy to learn and save. Still it surprises me when people honestly ask me if homeopathic is save for their children, as it really is the safest way to treat your children and even if you take the wrong remedy it will not do any harm. Only the overdose will in some cases. Additional it is good to know, that once you give the right remedy very often your child will fall asleep within minutes. I had a case of a girl, she was almost 24 hours knocked off after a remedy and the parents were worried what we did to her. But in fact, she really needed the healing of this certain remedy.

Chinese Medicine, Herbal Preparations and Ayuvedic: Many families work exclusively with Chinese Medicine, Herbal Preparations or Ayuvedic. I also use Chinese Medicine, Herbs and some Ayuvedic ideas. But there are two major factors right now we need to put into credit: The pollution of those preparations and the pollution of our own bodies. All three ways of healing have very old traditions and have proven to be save and work well over thousands of years. But I also have learned not everybody can used them right away and some healing effects can be quite strong. Also for children some preparations are hard to get them taking it because of the taste. Unfortunately many of the preparations today are polluted. For example many Ayuvedic Remedies from India have been tested for high levels of mercury and lead, as they have been not farmed organically. In a matter of fact many are farmed just on the side of the road. So some countries simply restricted the import of any of them. Additional those remedies have been created many thousand years ago, when toxic and chemical pollution was totally unknown. Our bodies easy could take the detox effect of the remedies and heal. Over the last months I have learned that chemical pollution has tipped the pollution of toxin. Means, Chemical levels in our bodies are very high. Most of the preparations in Chinese, Ayuvedic and Herbal, work on the base to clean out the body. This works via Lymphatic System and Liver. Unfortunately today chemical levels are so high in those organs, that an extra load of cleansing from the body will simply bring the cup to overflow and can even bring dead if the liver is already overloaded. Don't be fooled and think this cannot happen to children. I found it is more and more a common condition and often the natural way of healing is blamed for the dead or condition of a person or a child. This is very sad and unfortunate, as we must understand how our bodies work and how we react on healing. I have not meet any Chinese doctor or Herbalist at this point who understood the connection between chemical pollution of the body and the strong healing effects of such preparations. I would not consider the preparations as dangerous, but very often their effects can become dangerous together with high chemical levels in the body. This misunderstanding of the connection between chemical pollution of the body and the effect of preparations has now lead to the ban of many very well working preparations, which might be lost for us now. Fact is, it is not the preparation, it is the man made madness that makes those preparations dangerous....

Vibrational Healing: Vibrational Healing is for me one of the future healing tools we will use. Vibrational Healing can come from remedies, such as Bach Flowers or other Flower preparations or special devices. I have used both ways on me and in my healing with high success rates. Vibrational healing is very save, but can cause major healing effects which most of the times are than misunderstood and medical treated. For example if you heal something in the lungs, you can even develop signs of pneumonia for up to 3-4 days. This does not mean you have pneumonia, but you healing your lung. Simply rest will get you over the condition. As this way of healing is new and many of those using these methods have not yet fully understood how those healing effects work, it is sometimes hard to understand that a sickness can actually be the healing. In Germany as well as in Russia there are by now devices who can cure people from advanced cancer in only two short sessions. Until the rest of the world will be ready for this way of healing and Vibrational Healing will be more widely known, there will be still many confusion about it and its real effects. But no matter what kind of problem any of my clients had, we always had a healing effect with the remedies. Specially for children those remedies and devices work very well, as they work taste and pain less. And most of the time even side effect less.

Those are examples of healing ways and how misunderstood they can be today. I know many more remedies and preparations which work incredible good, but I know and I hear what people are talking about them. Most of the misinformation comes from simply NOT using the remedies and preparations the right way. Sadly many families trust more in medical solutions because of lack of knowledge. We have too parties pulling the stings in their direction. Medicine who says they tested all out and Holistic Healing who has a hard time to get proves and nothing counts which has not got 50 lab tests on it.

The bottom line to all is simple: If each of you would do a little bit more research on what you take - medical and holistic, many misunderstanding would not happen at all. Try to find out more of the ill effects of antibiotics and other medical treatments and how many get killed from them each year. Than find out how to use natural remedies save. Once you did both paths, you can be called an adult patient. I have done nothing else than that for a very long time and seen the effects of medicine and holistic healing many times. Today is the time we must change direction and use our free will to find new ways of healing for our families. With new understanding and openness to other than the mainstream believes. We need to question what we doing. In both, medical and holistic healing. But in putting holistic healing into the corner of not proven, not save, we loosing the chance to take the health of your families in our own hands.
