Hay Fever

It's that time of the year again!

If you find yourself sneezing, with runny eyes, itchy nose and a woozy feeling, then you probably have hay fever.

With global warming and rising temperatures in the UK, grass and tree pollens are affecting more people than ever. But rather than taking anti-histamines, which merely suppress the symptoms without actually curing anything, and which leave you with toxins in your body, homeopathy offers a gentle but effective alternative, relieving symptoms as if by magic with no side effects. Hay fever is eminently treatable with homeopathy.

Tom, aged 15, developed strong hay fever symptoms when he went on an outdoor activity week in the Devon countryside. I gave him a homeopathic remedy to take when the symptoms started appearing. He says,

"When the symptoms started coming on in the morning, I took one pill, and another at lunchtime. The symptoms went after ten minutes and I haven't had them since."

It's worth noting that pollution, as mentioned in this article, has the ability to compromise the immune system. Whereas conventional treatment can offer no support here, homeopathy can help to bolster immunity by stimulating it to throw off the pollutants. A course of constitutional homeopathic treatment, which can take a few months to a year or so, depending on the condition of the underlying state of health, can bolster immunity and also help to resolve other seemingly unconnected health issues too.

With this in mind, for a limited period I am offering a reduced rate for the treatment of this troublesome condition, and also for constitutional treatment. Contact me for more details. Consultations can be conducted by phone, Zoom, or in person in Exeter.

Cancer is a very serious killer in the UK. It kills more people per day than Covid ever will.

But this is a misnomer. To say that any disease is a 'killer', like some sort of outside force which preys on unsuspecting innocents is skewed thinking. All disease comes from within. Even infectious disease. From my perspective as a holistic health practitioner, cancer is a disease, or derangement of health, which has its beginnings long before any physical manifestations take place. Cancer is hereditary, which means it is passed down from generation to generation. If your relatives have had it, there is a chance that you may do too.

Cancer is the disease of suppression, primarily of emotions. The emotions are not acknowledged by the individual, they are seen as a weakness, something to be avoided, too painful or scary, so they are 'stilled'. The person tries to disassociate from their body and lives in their heads. The body's response to this is to throw out physical symptoms such as a sore throat, headaches, urinary infections etc as an alarm call to themselves. When these are then suppressed by anti-biotics or painkillers, the body then has to try and express on a deeper level - pneumonia, kidney infection, again suppressed by drugs, on top of which more drugs are given to counteract the also-effects of the first drugs. Eventually these organs, congested by drugs and unexpressed e-motions (energy-motions), literally begin to rot. This is cancer. On top of the suppression of emotions we can add a poor nutrient deficient diet, a morbid interest in the negative, readily served out by the media, poor sleep, a lack of exercise and sedentary habits. So you see, we don't 'catch' cancer, it is of our own making.
My work as a homeopath is not just about giving people little white pills. It is also about encouraging them to get in touch with their emotions, to say the things they'd never dare for fear of being 'weak', to 'cry it out', to seek other emotion-embracing therapies, to acknowledge the feeling side of themselves. Healthy emotions need to flow, even in men. Then no resentment builds up, no angers or griefs are unexpressed, or suppressed. This frees the individual.
So you see, if we peer below the surface of cancer, work together and light a match instead of cursing the darkness, we can move through it to healing, wholeness and wellbeing.

Reliance on pharmaceutical medicines is a very real problem. 15% of the population are taking five or more drugs a day, a mind-boggling number, some to deal with the side-effects of others. So if 15% are taking five (or more) a day, how many more are taking two or three?

All scientific medicines have 'side-effects'. They are in fact a part of the effect of the medicine. Depending on one's sensitivity to that substance, and the amount given, the effects will be greater or lesser, but generally they will eventually appear. So, each medicine given will add more symptoms to the original complaint. This clouds the symptom picture, creating confusion as to what is to be treated, as this article alludes.

The fact that repeat prescriptions make up three quarters of medical interventions shows that the initial prescription was inappropriate in healing the condition, that it is simply 'masking' the symptoms so that more needs to continually be taken to suppress the symptoms, leading to the aforementioned also-effects.

Also, how effective can these medicines be if 6.5% of all hospital admissions are caused by them? What about those who are made low level poorly but not enough to go to hospital? Sadly they will go backwards and forwards to the GPs office for different medicines, and into the process described above. It also directly contravenes the Hippocractic Oath, taken by all GPs, to 'first do no harm'.

This is not true healing. How can it be. How long will people be treated in this way? We are energetic beings who respond best to energetic treatments - hands-on therapies like shiatsu or acupuncture, or more subtle treatments like homeopathy or reiki. Unfortunately, energetic treatments are under-prescribed and mostly not even considered a viable option.

It would seem that currently we are a population propped up by pills, with no well-being in sight. Last year we spent £51 billion on pharmaceutical drugs, an astronomical figure. Until this changes, humanity will continue to ail.

With an estimated 1.5 million children thought to be suffering from mental conditions such as anxiety, schizophrenia and depression, it strikes me as alarming that so little use is made of complementary therapists.
Parents need to know how much good can be done for a child with as little as an aromatherapy massage, or a shiatsu treatment. For a few pounds much relief can be gained to help a child to ground back within their bodies. Healthy food choices can also make such a difference, as can just getting out for a walk in nature.
As a homeopath I have found to my delight how much my natural remedies have helped children to move from these negative mental states to a place of increasing confidence and independence.
Our children do not need to suffer. So instead of waiting on a system ill equipped to meet their needs, and with a little investment and effort on our part as parents, we can help our children to move towards a brighter future. Wouldn't you rather light a candle than curse the darkness?

Data from half England's specialist services found a fifth have waited more than 12 weeks in the pandemic.

You may be interested to read about the demise of homeopathy in the US and how it was money that led to its downfall, not its ineffectiveness. Elizabeth Murphy writes:

"Just a century ago, there were 22 homeopathic medical schools, 100 homeopathic hospitals, and over 1,000 homeopathic pharmacies. Boston University, Stanford University, and New York Medical College all taught homeopathy.
This all changed due to the Flexnor Report — officially known as Medical Education in the United States and Canada — in 1910. The report was an attempt to align medical education under a set of norms that emphasized laboratory research and the patenting of medicine. The report was funded by John Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie, among others.

Rockefeller and Carnegie offered grants to the best medical schools in America — with a caveat: only an allopathic-based curriculum could be taught. Thus, Rockefeller and Carnegie systematically dismantled the courses of these schools by removing any mention of the natural healing power of herbs and plants, or of the importance of diet to health.

Rockefeller used his power to influence Congress into declaring the AMA (American Medical Association) the only body with the right to grant medical school licenses in the United States. This suited Rockefeller perfectly – he then used the AMA to compel the Government to destroy the natural competition, which it did through regulating medical schools.

After the Flexner Report, the AMA only endorsed schools with a drug-based curriculum. It didn’t take long before non-allopathic schools fell by the wayside due to lack of funding and fear mongering/smear campaigns against natural remedies.

The result is a system which churns out doctors who are deficient in nutritional, herbal, and homeopathic knowledge and who disregard the idea that what you eat can actually heal or hurt you.

While physicians encourage patients to make healthy food choices, only 27 percent of U.S. medical schools actually offer students the recommended 25 hours of nutritional training, according to a perspective piece in the July 2015 issue of Academic Medicine. The word “nutrition” is not included in board examination requirements for internal medicine certification, and cardiology fellows do not need to complete a single requirement in nutrition counseling.

I truly believe that homeopathy is our best hope at undoing all that has been done to us. Recently a homeopath friend of mine was able to secretly treat a man who'd been hospitalized with cancer with homeopathy. His turn around once she matched a remedy for him was quick. 4 days after she began working with him he was released from the hospital and is now home."
