1. First Response Homeopathy – Remedies to Use in a Disaster


First Response Homeopathy – Remedies to Use in a Disaster.

Eastern parts of Australia are experiencing floods (once again) following a week of torrential rain from tropical cyclone Oswald.

Our hearts and sympathies go out to all those effected.

As disaster management continues, we hope that homeopathy’s role as a front-line system of medicine will not go overlooked.

Homeopathy has a wide variety of uses during times of any disaster, floods and otherwise. All that is needed is a well-stocked home-use kit and a little practice.

2. Homeopathy: A Time-Tested Treatment for the Flu



`Huffington Post and Dr Larry Malerba list common homeopathic remedies for the flu. When choosing homeopathic remedies, Larry explains:

"If we were to draw up a laundry list of common flu symptoms it would read something like this: fever, chills, sweats, aches, fatigue, headache, cough, sore throat, diarrhea and so on. Since homeopathy is concerned primarily with the unique way in which each individual manifests his or her symptoms, the trick for the prescriber is to determine what symptoms are most prominent, or characteristic, in any given case of the flu. A careful study of the symptom pattern of the sick individual allows the prescriber to choose a corresponding homeopathic medicine that closely matches that pattern."

He then discusses different ways people can present with the flu and the remedies that match each symptom.

3. Homeopathy and Psychotherapy


Homeopathy is integrated medicine - mind, body and spirit. Researchers Johannes, Townsend, and Ferris, (PhDs) have done a wonderful job in this article exploring the similarities and benefits of homeopathy with psychotherapy. Case examples such as the following add colour to the points they make:

"Case example 1
Chloe recalls a time when she had a significant emotional reaction to a remedy. Before the interview she hadn’t thought specifically about the emotional effects of homeopathic remedies. I remember taking a remedy because one of my eyes would tear constantly. I don’t remember what Ann gave me that time but I sobbed for days after the remedy and then it cleared up the weeping eye. I thought that was wonderful. It was years since I split with my partner, I was single parenting, and I was holding a lot in. It was a powerful experience. All the grief I had been unable to feel in the year preceding the breakup came tumbling out. Melissa’s results [Chloe’s daughter, mentioned below] have been even more dramatic. Symptoms just stop immediately. For example she had something gross in her throat but after a remedy it was gone. Also mood states could be changed immediately. I haven’t paid attention to psychological shifts in myself but Ann has cleared me of most menopausal symptoms and we are still working on some difficult fibroids."

The authors also show how homeopathy beats modern day psychotherapy and medicine to the punch in understanding the mind-body connection. For example:

"Homeopathy systematically classified the symptoms that various substances produced in mind and body as a unified whole, long before the developments of modern medicine, psychiatry and psychology.

Homeopathic remedies were used in the care, management and cure of the whole person – mind and body. Homeopathy today continues to be practiced as an integrated mind-body medicine."

This article is well worth reading for those interested in psychotherapy ... and of course, homeopathy.

4. Lives saved by Homeopathy in Epidemics and Pandemics



Homeopathy has a huge track record against epidemic diseases. Dr Nancy Malik and Iman Navab present comparison charts on survival rates between those treated with homeopathy and allopathy (conventional medicine) during the great world epidemics.

These charts include diseases such as cholera, typhus, Spanish flu, yellow fever, and pneumonia.

Recent epidemic diseases treated by homeopathy are also noted. These include: influenzae (including swine flu), hepatitis A, dengue fever, leptospirosis, and conjunctivitis.

With epidemic disease an ever-present part of human history, it seems homeopathy might be one of the best weapons we have.

5. Homeopathy Offers Hope


Karen Wehrstein from the Canadian Consumers Centre for Homeopathy sheds some light on the current popularity and successes of homeopathy. She says,

"What most Canadians aren’t aware of is homeopathy’s true stature and importance worldwide — and how fast it is gaining acceptance both in Canada and abroad. Homeopathy is so well trusted that 300 million patients in more than 80 nations use it. In countries such as the U.K., Brazil, parts of India, Mexico and Cuba, homeopathy is integrated into the health system and covered by public health insurance. In Europe, three out of four people are familiar with it. In Cuba, mass dosing of preventive homeopathic medicines is now used routinely by the public health system for epidemic control. One of the world’s most popular over-the-counter flu medicines — Oscillococcinum — is a homeopathic remedy."

Karen also discusses:
- The rapid growth of homeopathy worldwide
- Studies demonstating homeopathy's cost-effectiveness
- Further exploration into homeopathic phenomena with studies, meta-analyses, journals, researchers and scientists.

6. Majority Support for Homeopathy



In spite of the best efforts of skeptic groups in Britain during recent years, research shows they have had little influence on public opinion.

More than half of UK adults appear to believe homeopathy is as effective as or more effective than conventional medicine.

In a working paper, the National Centre for Research Methods (NCRM) from University of Southampton said that regardless of whether they had or hadn't used homeopathy, the majority of Britons appear to endorse homeopathic remedies as potentially efficacious treatments.

7. Urdu Homeopathy - A Better Alternate Therapy Podcast


Do you use Urdu as a language, or do you know someone who does? If so, SBS has a podcast interview in Urdu with Dr. Abdul Qadeer Qayoom, an allopathic doctor who now practices homeopathy.

Dr Qayoom explains homeopathy and why he made the change in the interview. The program notes say:

Homeopathy (or homoeopathy) is a holistic system of medicine based on the theory of treating like with like. It claims to stimulate the body's own healing response to disease, using specially prepared, highly dilute preparations. Homeopathy claims to treat the symptoms of a wide range of illnesses including allergies, asthma, eczema, hay fever, headaches, stress and respiratory infections.
