Homeopathic Narratives: How Nature Heals

N38: A Discussion on Degenerative Arthritis/Osteoarthritis and Homeopathy

Degenerative arthritis is the same as Osteoarthritis and is at the stage where functional changes during arthritis or rheumatoid arthritis begin to take on degenerative changes. |Remember that when allopathic medicine determines a disease, they take individuals with a similar set of common symptoms and take out anything rare and peculiar.  As homeopaths we take the common symptoms out of our repertory and have to find the rare and peculiar, as well as the pain and the modalities to find a well indicated remedy for our patient.  The joints change form and the pain becomes unbearable.  When there is a change in structure in the body, especially when there is pain and disintegration there are remedies like those in the Asteraceae family and in the Acid Remedies that do amazingly for this ‘more than pain, pain’.

N37: A Discussion on Rheumatoid Arthritis and Homeopathy

What is the difference between Rheumatoid Arthritis and Arthritis? Homeopathically we do not look at the symptomatic picture of the allopathic disease to determine the disease.  It is the individual disease picture expressed by the patient during case taking that determines the remedy of choice.  No matter the disease, a homeopathic constitutional remedy is always needed.  Using Roger Morrison M.D.’s book, Desktop Companion to Physical Pathology, we can look at the nature of rheumatoid Arthritis as exhibited by the patient during a case taking – using modalities to find the rare and peculiar, you can go one step further and go deeper to find the words of the source.  Homeopathically is usually not the first choice of a patient suffering the pains and symptoms of this disease, and as a result, the patient and practitioner need to have a discussion on the need to follow up with homeopathy as well as with their allopathic doctors.  Tapering off a remedy is the responsibility of the patient and their medical doctor and does not fall under the scope of practice of homeopathy in Ontario as homeopaths are not considered primary care givers. The body can heal itself of anything it creates when the mistunement is altered in the direction of health.
Question of the day:  What can you do homeopathically if your patient comes to you and they are on heavy drugs?

N36: A Discussion on Arthritis and Homeopathy

Allopathic diseases are combinations of symptoms that have been bunched together and are considered a disease that can be blocked or the body can be distracted with decoys. Such blockers used are the SAID’s, NSAID.s and DMARD’s.  Hydroxychloroquine is an example of such a decoy.  Thomas Cowan, M.D. discusses using food as decoys for organ specific autoimmune diseases which demonstrates the use of decoys in his book, Vaccines, Autoimmunity, and the Changing Nature of Childhood Diseases.  Modern medicine also uses drugs to function as decoys as the distract the body away from the problem it is working through and when the original inflammation subsides because the body forgets it is fighting something, they consider it a successful treatment without studying the long-term effect of moving the body away from putting out a fire and then what that ‘fire’ looks like when the body finally remembers to go back and try fixing it again.  Inflammation is the body’s favourite healing tool.
Homeopathic remedies should always be given constitutionally but some very good remedies for the groups of symptoms defined in this disease can be seen in Morrison’s book below.  I have found the carbon remedies and the Anacardiaceae and Ericaceae family of plants to be the most promising. causticum, rhus t, rhus v and kalmia among others.  The remedies to do with movement in comparison to stiff arthritic pain in joints and bones are good choices in this grouping of symptoms

N35: The Dynamic Mistunement

As we continue discussing how homeopathy helps the body cope with different chronic disease, it is important to stop once again and look at the concept of Vital Force and Dynamic Mistunement to remember what nature and the human body experience as dis-ease.
In Hahnemann’s, Organ of the Medical Art, he discusses this important understanding of the life force in health and disease in aphorisms 9 to18 and aphorisms on the power of medicines and dissimilar diseases.
When the body experiences disease as a mistunement, it always starts with a non-physical shift in the vital force.  We need to separate physical trauma from a change in the vital force and its individual unique response to environmental and other life experiences. 
A good example can be seen in patients who respond differently to physical trauma, despite the trauma being experienced at the same time and the same injury. 
When looking at the vital force, we need to remember that it is part of what we call the automatic or autonomic brain, but it also includes the energy as seen in blood, tissue and the heat creative mechanisms in the body.
When a patient tells an allopathic doctor that something hurts, that doctor is looking for a combination of symptoms that have been collected to represent a specific disease picture. So, for example, if someone comes with pain and explains they have cankers sores in the mouth and feet with a high temperature and sore throat, the allopathic doctor may declare that the patient has hand, foot and mouth disease.  Believing that a virus or bacteria is to blame for the grouping of symptoms.  The solution is then to give all patients the same poison to coerce the body into looking at the new disease introduced as an antibiotic into the body.  So now the body changes its direction towards the antibiotic and leaves the original mistunement for this new one created by the antibiotic.
I am coming to understand that when we come into contact with or experience an ‘adaptator’ - something we need to adapt to on Earth to reprogram our frequencies such as to incorporate changes in the Earth’s gravitational force – we all will start with a similar response and then experience any mistunement as a unique set of specific symptoms created bt the individual’s vital/life force.  Some will not even need to take on this new opponent if they are strong enough and have played stronger opponents.

N34: The Body’s Natural Tool Kit - Inflammation, fever and pain

I know you have been taught one way to look at the body and a health and that if you deviate then you are unscientific.  I am telling you that I am not alone in knowing that the body heals itself.  The way it does it is to use inflammation and fever and pain to fight and interact with things in the body.  To get rid of what it doesn’t need and is waste, and then to bring the body to a balance and harmony through the use of temperature changes, inflammation in skin, tissues, organs and the rest of the body systems, as well as pain to point out where and the intensity of the problem.  Homeopathy is a way to activate help the body succeed in using inflammation and fever.  Often after taking a remedy these tools are finally used by the body.  This does not mean you are sicker, it means you are healthier because you can create inflammation and fever and complete your body's healing response! 
Question for today: If you are using Homeopathy, is nutrition still important?

N33: A Look at Approaching the Patient with a Cancer Diagnosis

A patient coming to see a homeopath and having a cancer diagnosis needs to be taken as an individual as in all other cases in homeopathy.  There are some very important lessons I have learnt over the last decade regarding cancer and homeopathy and I would like to share them.  Many of these understandings have been a product of learning from other homeopaths, but particularly my patients.  I would like to share them with you.
1.     Depending on the miasm, the pace of capacity to heal is sometimes marked in their DNA
2.    The body is a remarkable thing and sometimes will not give up.
3.    Cancer sometimes gives the patient a sense of final calm after the chaos and sometimes healing them is helping them use the allopathic route. Bagot’s book helps.
4.    When they use allopathic therapies it is never too late for the body to heal.
5.    Just because they are told something is true, does not mean it needs to be that way.
6.    Homeopathic remedies are made to heal and bring back energy even in the last moments of the energy.
7.    With all the evidence of homeopathy’s help and healing in cases of cancer diagnoses, homeopathy is still not used in Canada as much as it could be.
8.    Using isopathic remedies in homeopathy helps when the body has been fighting too many fights, it evens out the odds.
 
The question for today: What is an isopathic remedy in homeopathy? Isopathy means equal suffering, while homeopathy means same suffering. A homeopathic approach that looks at the agents that causes the disease or a totality of symptoms of the individual and makes a remedy it.  In cancer it is used to help the body recognize where the problem is and direct the body to the organ that is the most impacted. As a result, often nosodes and sarcodes work wonders in addition with a constitutional.

N32: A Continued Discussion on Cancer and Homeopathy

The continued discussion on cancer and homeopathy today is a look at the different perspectives on how to approach cancer, how to help a patient with cancer, and how different homeopaths see the chances of cure and the need for palliation.  This is a second of 3 discussions on this subject.  There are great practical uses of the 4 books I have recommended and this discussion includes a look at the different methods used to help the body live with cancer, cure itself or just prolong life or improve the quality of life for someone for a short period before the end.

N31: A Discussion on Cancer and Homeopathy - Part I

Today we will begin a discussion on cancer and the role homeopathy can play in helping the body heal itself, and/or help with the pain and other palliative needs of those patients with a cancer diagnosis. Homeopathy can be used as a primary medicine for cancer if the patient chooses that, and also as a complementary medicine with oncology. In France, around 400 000 cancer patients were found to be using complementary medicines like Homeopathy with their allopathic treatments.
Manmade and man-named diseases are very sensitive subjects.  Homeopaths can wonder whether to look at cancer and other diseases that are similar in nature as separate groups of symptoms or as a totality of symptoms.  Where do you begin? As a homeopath, one should approach such complex chronic diseases with a level of comfort.  I personally started with homeopathy as a complementary medicine.  The patient needs to make their own informed choices without being directed towards a bias by any other medical practitioners.  Where is the patient in their needs and understanding.  Helping the patient to understand the limitations of the healing system one is practicing is as important as providing the possible successes.
Homeopathy has so much clinic experience and evidence of its help in the different stages of cancer.  Homeopathically we know that the body can reverse anything it creates. 
A case study of increasing longevity with homeopathy and the problems that pop up when using homeopathy in a world that sees the impact of homeopathy in the body as a miracle.  Reversing will not always prevent death because it takes about a month to 2 to reverse a certain amount of the disease which may not be fast enough. In this case, the brain tumors would  kill the patient long before the most dangerous tumors could be reversed by the patient’s body.  Nevertheless, by reversing the tumors the body will give itself an extra lease on life of a few months to a year so so – we are not able to determine as each individual is different.
Homeopathy tries to bring the system to life, chemotherapy uses the destruction of life to attempt to kill the cancer. All disease starts with a dynamic element of disease and remedies are dynamic in that they create an artificial disease by giving the body nature’s codes.
The proving of carcinosinum shows how so many people are going into this state.  The proving of a nosode remedy gives us an understanding of the substance and the disease in this case.  This has helped Homeopathy reach such a deep understanding.
Miasms also give us an idea of how long the patient has,  and the pace of the disease.  Cancer is a feeling of immaturity – of not being strong enough, being extended past our human capacity.  Always continuously trying to fix cells will create immature cells which then become cancerous. The environment certainly impacts us, but the feeling of having done something again and again until the system is so ‘tired’ all symptoms such as fever, pain and fear disappear.  Alize Timmerman has experience with using homeopathy with cancer and reminds us to make sure that the patient wants to get healthy homeopathically with cancer because if they have developed cancer after giving up their own needs for years it may not be their choice to suddenly develop their self-confidence and leave their spouse, for example, that they had sacrificed so many years for to make their marriage ‘work’.
The Earth always helps but when we put poisons in the body the chance of adapting lowers and the possibility of the end of the organism is more viable for the energy.
Question for today: What is a nosode?

N30: The Future of Disease with Homeopathy

Homeopathy is both a medical perspective, a natural way of healing, and the future of healing. And as a result, it is hunted down and destroyed to ensure that those who make profit off of our disease, can continue making human suffering a profitable commodity.  In narrative 1, I mentioned that there would be 30 narratives to show how nature heals. Now that we have seen how homeopathic remedies made to mimic nature’s healing mechanisms is a viable option, we can begin looking at the diseases many of you are facing and understand where they are from and how nature can help us move away from the ‘suffering model’ that we have been programmed to believe is our only option. 
When looking at disease there are a few concepts that need to be tackled:
What is dis-ease compared to the modern concept of disease?
Is disease natural? 
What causes disease?
Are diseases defined the same?
What is the difference between the different modalities of medicine in relation to disease?
How do we approach disease the natural way?
Can disease be eradicated completely?
Question of the day: Why do modern and post-modern believe their model is the only model and anyone speaking up against it is guilty of misinformation?

N29: Children and Homeopathy

Children thrive when using homeopathic medicine.  You can use it before conceiving, to conceive and to help the baby develop and then the labour and after birth pain and experience can be improved with the use of homeopathic remedies.  Children are usually given mineral or plant remedies until their own immune system kicks in around age 5.  For miasmatic disease that the baby is born with there are remedies that can begin reversing damage in the DNA.  For this reason, any mRNA interference through postmodern medicine can stop homeopathic remedies or any natural remedies that work with nature’s codes from working. The RNA is what we use to heal our DNA and when we interfere with these gene codes we end up not being able to use nature for our healing.  Some may think that is a good idea, but nature has taught us what happens when we start to mess with our genes.  Children should interact with the adaptators that nature provides so that they can continue to evolve as a species and not be limited by external development that reverses natural human evolution. 
Question of the day: Is there a difference between an aggravation and a regular response to a remedy?
