Hello Everyone,
As summer nears the end I always feel a sense of reluctance to see it go as I so appreciate swimming in the ocean, feeling the sun on my back, and eating the abundance of summer tomatoes, basil, and fresh vegetables.
As the days grow shorter, I sense the changing light and feel the energy of the coming transition to autumn. The first leaves begin to turn color here in New England. Autumn is always a poignant time of change…
So it is also a good time to approach the cooler weather and shorter days paying more attention to your immune system.
This time of year I often get questions about boosting ones immunity.
Of course in homeopathy we don’t treat diseases or conditions. We treat the "person" so it is always a case of treating each situation individually according to homeopathic principles of healing.
Certainly an organic herbal extract like Olive leaf (Gaia Herbs) or a good organic mushroom extract like MyCommunity (Host Defense) is always reliable to take during the winter months. For children (and adults) Maine Medicinalsorganic Elderberry extract is excellent. If I sense the beginning of a cold I just take Counterattack from Rainbow Light and it passes.
However, if you know your constitutional remedy and haven’t taken it in awhile it might be helpful too.
One immunity issue that recently a few people approached me about was Shingles. This summer I encountered three people with Shingles on the face and in the eye. Ugh. Not fun and painful.
With Shingles there are certain remedies that come up that one can think of right away to investigate. Here is an interesting list of remedies differentiating one from another.
A friend of mine recently contracted Shingles in her eye and face. It was excruciatingly painful for her. If you can imagine being stung by a hundred bees in the eye this was the intensity of her pain! While she was under the care of an excellent homeopath, there was an occasion where she sought my help when she couldn’t reach him. After multiple questions and some repertorization I suggested Apis 10m. The intensity of the pain (intense stinging) diminished and brought some welcome relief.
After a series of different remedies were given at different stages of the Shingles, a chronic remedy that had helped her in the past was given by her homeopath. She took Natrum muriaticum MMH24 often and her healing direction improved considerably.
Homeopathic principles of healing follow the laws of nature. When you find the most similar remedy for the person, the law of similars will work and one moves in a healing direction.
What is also quite remarkable about this particular case of Shingles is that extremely high potencies were used.The MM h potencies are not generally known and even made in most homeopathic pharmacies. But this potency moved the needle in a healing direction for my friend.
They are used by Dr. Andre Saine, one of the foremost pioneers in pushing the boundaries of homeopathy. He has had remarkable success using these fluxion potencies with patients who have MS, fourth stage cancer, Parkinson’s and other serious illnesses.
I have used them for a woman who is 101 years old for her arthritis with excellent results. So I know they are effective.
It is an interesting fact that close to 200 years since high potencies were first introduced that no one has found the point at which continuously raised potency has ceased to be effective.
Fascinating no?
To find out more about this interesting subject and other important issues, I will be going to Montreal, Canada to film Dr. Saine the first week in September to do an in-depth interview for my documentary, I Was Dying, Then I Change My Mind.
For those of you following the evolution of this project a new trailer will be released after my interview with Dr. Saine.
I now have a website for the film where you can follow the progress of this documentary.
To watch a trailer, read about my producers, or donate to the project please visit the website:https://www.gbjfilms.org
I want to give a big THANK YOUto all the people who donated via the Gofundme link to the project.
Some people prefer to send checks or money directly(Venmo, Zelle, checks) to me and I am very grateful to receive them too.
