Filling in the Gaps: A Homeopath’s Tour of a Dental Technician Lab

By

Filling in the Gaps: A Homeopath's Tour of a Dental Technician Lab Visiting Mike the dental technician was like creeping into a busy cave with a background of noise and lights. There are the occasional grinding sounds, a compressor working and beautiful coloured beams coming from an array of complex digital equipment. It all cries out for a detailed explanation and Mike, who is at home here in his natural environment, is keen to talk. However, the first thing I see is not the powerful computers but it’s the table full of paint brushes and possibly antiquated … [Read more...] about Filling in the Gaps: A Homeopath’s Tour of a Dental Technician Lab

Homeopathy surge worldwide

By Leave a Comment

As the owner of a busy homeopathy clinic, I ask my patients lots of questions. I've been wondering where the recent surge in homeopathy has come from, so I ask them about it.  Over and over, the answer goes something like this, "I tried it for my terrible headaches which had gone on for three years since the birth of my baby. My days were a fog of pain and tiredness. Three days after the homeopathic, they were gone. I could hardly believe it, after being to so many specialists and having CAT scans, x-rays and thyroid tests etc done."  No wonder there is a … [Read more...] about Homeopathy surge worldwide

Homeopathy Improves Your Quality of Life

By Leave a Comment

Revelations from recent research “During the last 4 weeks, to what extent has your physical health or emotional problems interfered with your normal social activities with family, friends, neighbours or groups?” It’s a bit of an aspergers way of asking “How are you doing?” Obviously not the style of question you ask a friend over coffee. Not a question from the real world. It is a survey question about your quality of life, validated as part of an observational study. ‘An observational study,’ being a study where investigators record what happens without … [Read more...] about Homeopathy Improves Your Quality of Life

Hair analysis, homeopathy and childhood allergies

By Leave a Comment

“He is allergic to everything and has anaphylaxis to eggs.” This is the first thing the stressed mother says when she tells someone about her child. He used to come up in large welts if he was kissed by someone who had eaten eggs. Imagine how hard it has been for her. This excerpt is from a published ATMS journal article, A Cup of Tea in the Consulting Room: The Latest in Homeopathy about Eczema and Allergies. The authors Linda Beaver and Linlee Jordan shared a conversation about the latest treatments for eczema. They settled down for a cup of green tea and a … [Read more...] about Hair analysis, homeopathy and childhood allergies

Rhus tox and a homeopath’s breathless and painful journey through COVID  

By

What does any self-respecting homeopath do when confronted by a positive COVID test? Well, maybe not everyone would do the same as me, but I wrote a bit of a diary and a few notes as I went along in my journey through coronavirus. Upset stomach, severe aches, and feeling breathless.  Trying remedies such a Rhus Tox, Gelsenium, Hypericum, and Bryonia.   Day 1 How it started My daughter has just rung and told me she’s tested positive (we’d hung out together a couple of days earlier). By the end of her visit, she had been starting to show signs of a fever and … [Read more...] about Rhus tox and a homeopath’s breathless and painful journey through COVID

Homeopathy and true scepticism

By Leave a Comment

I would like to invite my friends to exercise true scepticism when it comes to the topic of homeopathy. I hear you thinking “Huh? I thought you were annoyed with the sceptics?” Well, perhaps yes, but not in the way that you may surmise. Despite it being widely used around the world, Homeopathy is an alternative form of medicine which sceptics love to attack and make comments about. I admit that it’s mildly annoying when certain sceptics occupy themselves by making their witty anti-homeopathy statements. They seem to entertain themselves. But, it’s more than … [Read more...] about Homeopathy and true scepticism
