To Vaccinate or not to vaccinate

 In the last few years, we have been bombarded with so many different opinions and facts about vaccination, that most of us must be utterly confused. Read one newspaper article and you'll go straight down to your surgery to vaccinate your child. Turn on the TV the same day and fear for your child if he ever came near a doctor's needle.

Many of the disease that we are protecting our children against are deadly, some are very serious but not fatal, and others are unpleasant but rarely have serious side effects. The vaccination programme has clearly been a factor in the reduction of the number of cases of childhood disease, but we, as parents are now asking at what price has this been achieved.

What are homeopathic remedies

The homeopathic remedies are derived from animal, mineral and vegetable sources. The active ingredients are diluted in alcohol to create a tincture then diluted in water between ten and hundred times. It is then added to tiny sugar tablets or bottled as liquid. Homeopathic remedies aid your own immune system to counteract any illness your body maybe suffering with; thereby increasing your general level of health.

You are unique. Your symptoms are unique to you

Your constitutional type is what a homeopath uses to locate the most appropriate homeopathic remedy to match your symptom picture not just on a physical level but also a mental and emotional level, that is, like for like.

The homeopath will assess you as a constitution. This means they will not only look at your physical complaint and how you are experiencing it but they will assess you as a totality. That is, your family history of disease, vaccination history, your personality traits and character, your preffered diet,your dreams and career aspirations, fears an phobias. This is an important part of understanding the fuler picture of your health and well being and is required to asses your case correctly. They will consider this information fully before prescribing. They will discuss with you your individual treatment plan and how you can best work together.

Garlic

Garlic is one of the oldest known medicinal plants. A remedy using garlic was found on a Sumerian clay tablet which dated back to 3000 BC. Ayervedic practitioners prescribed garlic liberally for cancer and leprosy became known as "Peelgarlic" because of the frequent sight of lepers eating garlic cloves.

Randi Backs Out of Challenge with Homeopath George Vithoulkas

 A long tussle concerning the validity of Homeopathy between the world`s most famous homeopath and probably the world`s most well known `quackbuster` appears to have come to head in December 2008 after 5 years of to-ing and fro-ing. On the one side is Homeopath George Vithoulkas, whose International Academy for Classical Homeopathy is based on the island of Alonissos in Greece. On the other is American magician and skeptic, James Randi who heads what he calls The James Randi Educational Foundation, based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Vithoulkas and Randi are equally passionate in their diametrically opposed views and an easy meeting of minds was never very likely.

Homeopathic remedies offer “alternative” for flu sufferers

Stockport homeopath Jeanette Blackwell has been busy helping patients get over flu this winter as GP surgeries across the country gear up in case of a pandemic.

This winter has seen an increase in cases of flu and respiratory infections, and homeopaths have been among those on the frontline, helping people who prefer an “alternative” approach.

Homeopathy is a system of medicine which is based on treating the individual with highly diluted substances given in mainly tablet form, which triggers the body’s natural system of healing. Based on their experience of their symptoms, a homeopath will match the most appropriate medicine to the patient.

Two and a half million people were treated in Cuba with a homeopathic vaccine

Two and a half million people were treated in Cuba with a homeopathic vaccine to prevent the outbreak of Leptospirosis, which is regular occurrence due to hurricane storms leaving flooding in many parts of the region. Attendees at the Cuban conference where the results were shown say the results were amazing.

As Cuba gets no help from the US it also has the benefit of not being under the grip of the multi national pharmaceutical companies that would normally not allow such a large scale homeopathic programme to go ahead.

Integration of homeopathy into primary care

The potential role of complementary and alternative (CAM) therapies in the future of the National Health Service is an issue which cannot be ignored. Patients vote with their feet, and the popularity of CAM therapies is clear. An estimated 5.75million people a year in the UK seek treatment from a CAM practitioner and approximately one in four members of the public would like to access complementary medicine on the NHS.1
In 2000, a House of Lords Select Committee report on Complementary and Alternative Medicine listed homeopathy as a “group one” therapy, along with osteopathy, chiropractic, acupuncture and herbal medicine. Group one therapies are recognised as having their own diagnostic approach and treatment methods.2

Homeopathy is well-established in the UK, having been available through the NHS since its inception in 1948. In addition to the five NHS-funded homeopathic hospitals (in Bristol, Glasgow, Liverpool, London and Tunbridge Wells), over 400 GPs use homeopathy in their everyday practice3 and the Society of Homeopaths (the largest body representing professional homeopaths in the UK) has 1,500 registered members. However by comparison with European countries, the UK’s homeopaths are a relatively untapped resource.4 One reason for this could be the misconception that homeopathy lacks a scientific evidence base.

Homeopathy for babies and children with common complaints

Coughs, colds, sleeping problems, nappy rash, asthma, bed wetting, dummies, feeding problems, travel sickness, lack of confidence reading and writing difficulties

Homeopathy is a safe natural way of treating your baby or young child, using diluted natural extracts, usually of plant, or mineral origin. These provide a safe gentle stimulus to health.
Homopathy deals with the whole person, but what is most important, it deals with the psychological needs of the individual child. Its guiding principle is treating "like with like"; or choosing a remedy which in its original form was capable of causing symptoms similar to those the child may be experiencing in the present illness.

Homeopathy supports the younger mother who wants more initiative and more involvement in the treatment of the family. It provides an independent approach to the health problems of her child providing a safe method which supports the subtle energies responsible for the resistance and health of the child.
