Achieving and maintaining good health these days is a struggle. There are so many therapies available it's difficult to know where to begin. We need balance on all levels, Spiritual, mental and emotional as well as the physical plane where illness becomes apparent and is seen.
I want to share with you in a very personal way how I came across Homoeopathy and why I use and practice Homoeopathy now.
There are many people who are willing to stand up and proclaim Homeopathy as having saved their lives and with its use their health had been changed in a surprising and remarkable way, some may even say, miraculous.
Then there are those who deny any credibility and will argue Homeopathy has no value at all, calling it unscientific at best and downright dangerous at its worst. (I would look closely at their motives) However, Homoeopathy has helped millions of people around the world for over 200 years. If anything was wrong it would have, and should have, died out by now.
Undoubtedly there are more people using Homoeopathy each day,
There are entire countries whose governments have endorsed Homoeopathy and are openly promoting it as a viable comparison to western medicine, finding it to be a cheaper and effective method of medical health for their populations.
I am in the former group, because having exhausted all of what western medicine had to offer I had no option but to try another avenue that promised an alternative solution.
I was led to a person who said they could help me get rid of IBS (Irritable Bowl Syndrome) which I'd had for the previous thirteen years.
Countless visits to various doctors and hospitals for tests, checkups and many pills later had seen me having no better health in all that time. In fact, I felt I was getting worse, so I was willing to try anything regardless of the consequences. I'd vaguely heard of this therapy called Homoeopathy but what it was and how it worked I had no idea.
Fortunately for me, I had not gone past the 'point of no return'*. My vital force was strong enough to reverse the disease that was destroying my body and my life little by little. Physically I could function, but my mental faculties were becoming clouded. I lived as if in a fog of dreams.
A toxic build up over the years had become critical, needless to say my work and personal relationships suffered. I became slow in the discharge of my duties and as a consequence I felt incompetent, angry and isolated, leading to immense depression with very difficult circumstances.
I had no real idea of what was happening to me, or what was going to happen to me. I worried constantly about not being able to cope soon. Without being able to earn money I would end up on the street. My marriage had recently ended and without family and no friends that were in a position to take on full time care of me should it become necessary, I felt my situation was becoming dire.
Anxiety feeds off itself, the more you worry the worse things will get. The situation I was in became worse of its own accord, the more I worried, the blacker the outlook. There seemed to be no way to switch it off.
I suppose that some of us have to hit rock bottom before we can turn things around. I was as low as I ever wanted to get at the time.
My father said very little during his lifetime, so what he did say got remembered easily, by me anyway.
What he said once was "There's no atheists in foxholes" As a surviving soldier of Dunkirk and the Normandy landings and many other battles of W W 2 he knew what that meant.
I really understood what he meant at this stage too. (Even the staunchest unbeliever will call out to a God they don't believe in when in dire predicaments arise).
I have always believed there are guardian angels and a God whom is benevolent. This is something particular to me, as neither of my parents were especially religious, nor were my extended family.
A friend gave me the address of a Homoeopath, and when attending the appointment, I was asked questions that seemed strange. Strange in a way that these questions were all related to the person, preferences and aversions as to the weather, food, sleep patterns and character traits that applied to me only.
Not once did he refer to my ongoing medical condition, which is the end result of being susceptible to certain diseases and unhealthy conditions.* which most certainly have great bearing on health.
At the end of an hour he gave me a few drops of alcoholic tasting water. I thought, "Is that all?" Just my dumb luck, too many daft questions and a quite a few dollars lighter. (Money well spent as it turned out)
Resigned to my fate I went home to bed. During that nights sleep I became aware of an energy surge that began at the top of my head, went downwards through my body and went out through my feet, clearing my mind and giving it a clarity and sharpness I had not felt in years. The constant dull ache I felt in my gut had diminished considerably. I was by no means "fully cured" right then but the difference I felt was incredible.
Like many before me, there have been people that were helped and then there were those that had tried to scientificly debunk it, could not, and got completely absorbed by Homoeopathy.
I decided to find out all I could about Homeopathy and any related therapies that would lead me to complete health and vitality.
To that end I studied for five years and qualified as a Classical Homoeopath in 1991. I have attended seminars by well known Homoeopathic practitioners and lecturers such as Dr. Bill Gray and Rajan Sankaran
I have been active on internet sites that deal with cases using Homeopathic remedies as well as in clinic situations in Auckland NZ. and now in Sydney NSW for several years.

You may send your case by email. You will need to fill in the customized questionnaire as objectively and with as much detail as you can. Remembering that Homoeopathy works on the person's character preferences and aversions that are particular to them and not so much as what disease they may presently have or what medications are taken.
Questionnaire and price found on the "Q & A." Page
There are two ways of looking at disease in Homoeopathy, 'Acute' or 'Chronic'.
An 'Acute' is any disease that comes on suddenly and ceases just as suddenly. For example; Sunstroke, food poisoning and accidents.
Virus or bacteria can also be termed 'Acute's.'
So called because these are all from outside of the body and people become infected because they are susceptible to a particular disease.
From incubation to crisis point, the disease time span is relatively short which results in either recovery or death.
This susceptibility can be caused.
A lifestyle forced on people such as poverty, famine, wars or natural disasters quickly bring about a susceptible host. It takes little imagination to see how this occurs.
A life that has abnormal amounts of protracted stress, job or money worries or lack thereof, emotional upheavals of all kinds can also bring a weakening of the immune system. As do drugs, (recreational and medically prescribed) and alcohol. Poor diet and little exercise contribute greatly to a system on the brink of ill health.
These process's take a while for the negative effects to manifest in the body.
Susceptibility is also passed on through parental genes.
A 'Chronic' state becomes manifest when disease is unable to be overcome by the immune system and long term suffering is apparent, This may be from birth or becomes obvious at anytime during life.
This Final breaking down of the immune system defenses renders previous good health unable to muster the energy needed to combat disease which becomes debilitating and can lead ultimately to a premature death or a protracted living death in the worst of cases.
Many people suffer in silence believing they have no other choice, because they have been told there is 'No known cure'.
In some methods of medicine this may be true, but not all.
When disease affects a population, such as a pandemic, not everyone becomes infected, because there are some who have a genetic predisposition of being susceptible to some diseases, but immune to others.
This always depends on the strength of the vitality or vital force that can fight off an attack, or where the vitality is not so robust it succumbs to everything, resulting in a permanent 'Never well since' syndrome, or a 'Just can't shake it off' scenario. Permanent Flu like symptoms are a common result of an impaired immune system.
Some vaccines have ingredients that leave the immune system without the ability to function or grow in a normal manner, i.e.; The MMR, given to babies, which has resulted in autism.
This condition can and has been reversed, but, in very severe cases unfortunately, this can't be guaranteed.
Homoeopathy helps the natural vital force by reinforcing and amplifying the energy contained in the remedies given to overcome the disease the patient is presenting with.
This is always a unique remedy to that one person in a chronic situation.
We do find that in acute attacks one remedy will fit most, but not all, patient situations.
Differences between Homoeopathy and Allopathic Western Medicine.
Homoeopathy affects the entire organism. Once a remedy has been taken the remedy attempts to bring balance throughout.
So you may find that something you didn't mention has finally gone away.
Simply put, the action of Homoeopathic remedies works in an entirely different manner than suppressive drugs.
Medical science has come to the point of targeting a specific and individual part or parts of the body.
Drugs and chemicals can switch on and off targeted system switches and cellular structure.
In doing so, other parts of the body become stressed because, as the entire organism is a symbiotic whole, one part must effect everything else.
In Allopathic terms this is seen as a separate and different disease. Whereas, Homoeopathically it is seen as a different layer of the same disease pattern and can be traced back through the life history and family health.
An example: There may have been recurrent headaches from inhaling a chemical some years ago, which gave respiratory problems, coughing and difficulty in breathing at the time, which brought on a headache, but now only the headache returns periodically. A full case is taken and a remedy is given.
Soon the cough and breathing difficulty may return for a short time only. Then the headache may get worse, but once this process begins it is a sign that the immune system has begun working as it should and is pushing the disease from within to outward.
The resultant reaction may be a heightened energy level coupled with a physical discharge of some sort. This is quite unpredictable but usually lasts for a short time.
This happens because Homoeopathy is an energy therapy that stimulates and connects to the plexus, or endocrine system.
Remedies induce more energy through the plexus so that cells in the body regenerate at a quicker rate than has been possible with drug therapy.
As the symptoms become reduced another dose may be needed. The Homoeopath can determine when.
Perhaps even a different remedy may be indicated at a later date.
Desiring excellent health is a lifelong undertaking, requiring some dedication, even with Homoeopathy.
Related diets and exercise are not an instant fix for many of us but it goes a long way towards helping.
Many clients report a reduction of symptoms being experienced quickly whilst with others it takes a little longer.
This happens because the body stores residual energy.
A memory of everything that has entered the body also enters the consciousness.
Drugs of all kinds have forien matter as carriers, Cows, pigs, monkeys, all have been used in vaccines for human consumption.
The residue remains within the body.
If there was one type of forien matter injected, the body would be able to cope but there are over twenty vaccines being injected into infants before they reach the toddler stage.
No child would be exposed to twenty diseases before they were two years old especially in the West, most unlikely even in the East.
Studies have been done and the results are in the negative, one vaccine on its own won't produce advese effects, other than the inevitable "side effects"
(This is another bodily effect that Homoeopathy has an explanation for and Allopathy has not)it will do as science predicts, but no studies are done on the effects of mixtures of these substances.
To much negative energy will result in the emotional or mental faculties being overwhelmed.
This can take the form of mild anxiety on the emotional plane to full blown psychosis within the mental element.
Physical problems are the resultant reflex in the human organism to stress of all kinds but remain physical untill that stress becomes a greater factor than the vital force can cope with.
Then the physical troubles receed whilst the emotional take precidence.
When the emotional element is overwhelmed the mental suffering becomes apparent.
Genetically, we are the same as our ancestors who pass on their inherited predisposition to future generations. This can be a strong vitality or a weak one.
We can now choose to be in good health or poor.
Allopathic methods involve targeting an active ingredient to repress symptoms in all diseases.
This method of repression holds energy within each and every cell in the body and must be continued or the symptoms break out of the quarantined cells, the disease returns as it has not been overcome.
This method has its merits in that the desired outcome, usually a short term quick one, that has undesirable side effects where more drugs are needed to counter the action of the first drug.
Some patients end up taking so many drugs they are unable to recover good health and remain dependant on medication, costing them or their insurers great amounts of money coupled with tremendous stress and anxiety or they live in a stupefied dullness that a normal life is non existant.
In contrast, Homoeopathy may cost more to begin with as it is not subsidized by governments as the health industry is, but over time the health standard is raised so much in people using Homoeopathy the costs becomes negligible, eventually it strengthens the body and immune system so that diseases have no place in which to incubate and infect the body, mind and soulit has attacked.
