Homeopathic Solutions for Constipation
Homeopathic Solutions for Constipation
By Heather Caruso B.Sc., DHMS, HD

Constipation is a North American epidemic. According to some U.S. statistics, 3.1 million people suffer with constipation. Our bowels are a holding tank for our body’s waste. Our waste is not only what we eat and drink but our manufactured toxins such as hormones, acids, alcohols and cholesterol. We are exposed to many toxins every day and we must ensure our organs work effectively to eliminate these poisons.
Constipation is a serious health concern and can lead to many other health disorders. These disorders are appendicitis, arthritis, bad breath, bloating, body odour, candida, depression, diverticulitis, fatigue, gas, headaches, hemorrhoids, hernia, insomnia and indigestion. With this long list of diseases caused by constipation it is a wonder why more people do not seek an immediate and natural cure.
The Causes of Constipation
There are many causes of constipation, the primary two are a lack of fibre in the diet and not enough water intake. Some other causes are a sedentary lifestyle (motion helps to move food along which stimulates contractions of the intestinal tract), an insufficiency of bile (bile from the liver and gallbladder helps to lubricate stools), side effects from medications (pain killers, iron, anti-depressants etc), candida and parasites. Candida is an overgrowth of a type of yeast in the intestinal tract. It is caused from an imbalance of good and bad bacteria in the intestines.
Dietary Solutions for Constipation
Eat high fiber foods such as oatmeal, brown rice, whole wheat, legumes and fruits and vegetables. Drink plenty of water to hydrate the stools which helps elimination. Eating cheese and refined carbohydrates like white bread, rice and sugars tend to promote constipation. Be sure to balance your plate, half fruits or veggies, one quarter protein and one quarter whole grains. This ensures a balanced diet with proper proportions of fiber.
Supplements for Constipation
Aloe vera gel is a great healer internally and externally. If you take one ounce per day or more, it can help with hard stools. Psyllium hulls are another good remedy for constipation that should be taken with a lot of fluids. If you take psyllium and are not a water drinker, you will become more constipated. Many herbal laxatives are habit forming (they create a dependency), such as senna and cascara sagrada. For that reason I am not a fan of these herbs.
Homeopathic Remedies for Constipation
There are many homeopathic remedies for constipation. Homeopathic remedies are suited to the individual’s emotional and physical symptoms. Some common remedies for constipation are called Alumina, Bryonia, Calcarea Carbonicum and Nux Vomica. If you cannot find a remedy suited to you, or find you are not improving or your symptoms get worse, seek the help of a professional homeopath or your medical doctor.
Many people are needlessly suffering with constipation. People’s causes are very individual. It is best to improve your diet to relieve your symptoms. Eating a healthy diet and using natural remedies are a positive step towards digestive health. Homeopathic remedies are safe and gentle and suited to all ages. Typical dosage for homeopathic remedies is a 12 or 30CH potency, taken one to two times a day for ten days. If there is no change after this time, you may need to seek the help of a professional homeopath.

For the past decade, Heather Caruso has been a homeopath in Guelph Ontario and author of “Your Drug Free Guide to Digestive Health”. This new book covers 39 common digestive disorders and their natural solutions through diet, homeopathic remedies and supplements. It covers disorders such as acid reflux, celiac, crohn’s, colitis, IBS, parasites, candida and food allergies for example. For more information go to www.carusohomeopathy.com .

An Excellent Resource for the World Traveller

An Excellent Resource for the World Traveller

By Ming Dinh
DCH, BScOT

If you are considering travel to destinations in tropical and less developed countries, you have many things to check off your to-do list. Along with the usual trip planning, there is the added complication of informing yourself on diseases very different from the ones to be found at home. There are many, and some of them can be very serious.

The World Travellers' Manual of Homeopathy By Dr. Colin B. LESSELL, (available at Whole Health Now: http://www.wholehealthnow.com/books/travellers-manual.html) is an excellent resource for this preparatory stage. It covers a range of conditions that the traveller can be subjected to, from the usual travel sickness, jet-lag and accidents, to infections from bacteria, viruses, parasites, bites, stings, poisonings, etc. There is a special section for women, which includes advice for the pregnant traveler, and even a section at the end of the book that evaluates the quality of water in various regions of the world.

Dr. Lessell spent 5 years preparing this book and the result is a manual that is almost encyclopedic in its scope. It tries to be comprehensive in the multitude of ways in which you could get stung, poisoned, parasitized, bitten, injured, envenomed, infected and infested in the course of travels around the globe. For example, in his chapter on diseases of the skin, he covers windburn, boils, carbuncles, cold sores, impetigo, intertrigo, Dhobi’s itch, ringworm, scalp ringworm, Pityriasis versicolor, surfer’s ear, scabies, louse infestation, human maggot infestation, sandworm infestation, swimmer’s itch, blister beetles, shellfish urticaria, poison ivy rash, stinging tree rash, nettle stings, algae dermatitis, and tropical wood dermatitis.

Aside from vivid descriptions of the conditions you need to be concerned about, he includes commonsense advice on how to avoid getting ill, supportive treatment, when to seek medical advice, and suggestions on homeopathic treatment. This book is an eye opener for the layperson who may have no idea of the myriad things that can befall an unwary traveller when travelling abroad. It is well worth the time to read up on the areas to which you will be travelling, and to assemble a homeopathic kit specific to the conditions to be found there, as an addition to your regular travel kit.

Information On Autism

Information On Autism

(See Disclaimer)

Impossible Cure has become an important book for the autism community because it includes a chapter about the homeopathic cure of Amy's son Max from autism. Because many parents contact us to obtain information about the treatment of their autistic children, we have created this page to provide our opinions, pointers to referral information, and more links to pursue.

If you are interested in pursuing homeopathic treatment for your child, we strongly advise that you begin by reading Impossible Cure. It will answer most of your questions and you will know exactly what to expect.

Another important resource for parents is Amy's radio show, "There's Hope with Homeopathy". This show is archived for later listening and supplies an excellent short course on homeopathy with a special focus on autism. The show is aired on Autism One Radio the third Friday of each month at 2pm EST. Amy also has an annotated archive of past shows.

You can also find more links to information about homeopathy and homeopathic products HERE .

For those interested in research studies about homeopathy and autism, here are two papers written by an Indian homeopath Dr. M.A. Rajalakshmi:
Role of Homoeopathy in the Management of Autism: Study of Effects of Homoeopathic Treatment on the Autism Triad
New Dimensions in the Treatment of Autism with Homeopathy

Another wonderful site about the cure of an autistic boy with homeopathy can be found at www.recoveredfromautism.com. This family is one among many who has been guided by Impossible Cure in their journey.

An excellent site with two very interesting papers about autism treatment (with cases) is www.homeopathy4autism.com.

Two films are in the works about the treatment of autism using homeopathy. Please visit these sites and lend the filmmakers your financial support!
From Within, Without (Blind Dog Films, Laurel Chiten)
Saving A Lost Generation (Carol Boyce)

You can see a heartwarming clip of an autistic boy in the process of cure, thanks to homeopathy, on You Tube.

A new open yahoogroup has recently been formed for parents of special needs children to find out more about homeopathy and discuss among themselves. As it grows, homeopaths will also join the group. It is Homeopathy-And-SN.

Finally, please remember to post your successful cure stories to the Cure Stories Data Base on this site. You story can help other children by convincing parents to give homeopathy a try! Even a paragraph or two can do wonders.

On the same subject, join the fight to protect your access to homeopathy. Visit the Homeopathy Worked for Me campaign site.

Homeopathic Treatment of Autism

Homeopathy isn't a "take this for that" medicine. Ten different autistic children might be prescribed ten different remedies. Choice of remedy depends on a child's individual characteristics. However, there are some remedies that are more commonly used than others to treat children in this community.

Autism, unfortunately, is a very serious condition and is not an easy cure. For example, while ADD (ADHD) has an 70% cure rate in many homeopathic practices, autism is much more difficult. However there are definitely many cases of homeopathic autism cures besides Max's. Although complete cures cannot be expected in most cases, the homeopath who treated Max (John Melnychuk -- see below) and many other homeopaths who treat autistic children are seeing significant progress in a majority of cases. If treatment begins early -- especially before age 5 -- there is room for great hope! Even later treatment can find success. But you must have commitment and view treatment as a long term process that will take months and years, not days or weeks.

Note that by "cure," we mean cure without the ongoing need for a heavily restricted diet, therapies, etc. -- i.e. complete recovery, not just functioning better. If you met Max today (at age 15) you would never suspect he had been autistic. He attends regular school at age level, is an excellent student who gets all A's and B's, and is outgoing, friendly, and popular socially. He no longer has any food sensitivities. He still sees his homeopath once or twice a year and takes occasional remedies. But even in Max's case, it took two years of treatment until he was testing at age level and another four or five years until we felt he no longer had any vestiges of autism. So cure is possible, but it requires commitment on your part.

Because autism is difficult to treat, we recommend that you seek out a very experienced classical homeopath (one remedy at a time, no mixtures) and stick with it for at least a year. Do not try to treat your child yourself. If you read Impossible Cure you will learn what classical homeopathic treatment is all about and how to discern if a particular practitioner is classical. Ideally, select a practitioner whose entire practice is devoted to homeopathy.

Many people have inquired about homeopathic "detox" treatments or "sequential therapy" approaches to homeopathy. These kinds of therapies have been successful in some cases. However, such protocols are sometimes implemented in ways that can be drastic and harsh. My own preference and recommendation is to find a well-trained and open-minded classical homeopath instead. Not all practitioners who use nonstandard homeopathic protocols have thorough training. Be sure that you check practitioner qualifications and training in homeopathy. A practitioner who treats autistic children should have at least four years of training in homeopathy and preferably several more years of clinical experience. Ask for patient references.

In our view and experience, properly and individually selected remedies can naturally detox the body in a gradual and natural way. Predetermined protocols that are not tailored to the specific symptoms being exhibited by a child can sometimes be misguided, given the acute sensitivity of autistic children.

As far as sequential therapy goes, it can be used in beneficial ways in the hands of a skilled practitioner. In our view, this approach should be applied in a way that is guided by the presenting symptoms of the child -- which is, after all, the very foundation of the homeopathic approach. The way sequential therapy works is, based on the history of symptoms of a case, a remedy is given to address each "event", in reverse order. The remedies chosen are often based on an idea of "specifics" (see page 157 in Impossible Cure). So you'll get one remedy to treat this vaccine, then a month later another remedy to treat the previous vaccine, etc. Sometimes this approach is applied in a very routine way rather than being based on the actual symptoms being presented by the patient at the given time.

Another method of autism treatment that is emerging in 2009/2010 is the Tinus Smits CEASE therapy, which has some similarities to sequential therapy. I do believe this approach has strong merit, and some classical homeopaths are considering getting trained in it.

Please be aware that many classical homeopaths will use variants of detox and sequentialist approaches if they need to. For example, if treatment is not progressing using the indicated remedies, a vaccine in potency might be used to unblock a case. Similarly, classical homeopaths will use nosodes as remedies when they are indicated. So don't worry that a classical homeopath won't use "detox" or "sequential" techniques if they need to. They just won't do it in a routine way, which (in our view) is very wise. Each case must be treated individually. This is our opinion, based on our experience as well as reports from other parents.

Please also remember that it usually takes a practitioner time to find a good remedy and dosing regimen -- sometimes months of trial and error. In Max's case, there was slow and steady improvement throughout, but that's unusual. It's really a long term process -- but well worth it! Your child's life is at stake -- and your own life as well. Once you begin to see improvement, you will have an easier time sticking with it. Try to be patient. Autism cures are usually slow -- but slow and steady wins the race. If you have no success over a period of time with a particular homeopath, try another. Successful homeopathic treatment, unfortunately, depends on the ability of the practitioner to successfully find the right remedy for your child. See referral information below.

Don't give up hope for recovery.

So many parents with autistic kids become despondent and don't believe their kid can recover. This really works against them. Don't give in to despair. Try as hard as you can to be loving, accepting, but confident that full recovery is possible. In addition, try not to become accommodated to or invested in your child's illness. Don't try to convince yourself that your child is just fine as an autistic person; they will be much better off if they aren't autistic! Striking a balance between love and acceptance of your child and confidence in their improvement can sometimes be difficult, but you can achieve it. Moreover, don't be afraid of potential disappointment. What's worse, experiencing disappointments or never trying at all? You owe it to your child to not let your own fears get in the way.

The sooner you seek treatment the better.

In a way, autistic children "leave" us and the further away they get, the harder it is to bring them back. Besides, as the brain grows and matures, it becomes more set in its ways. When allopathic drugging comes into play, the situation becomes even more difficult. Ideally, you should treat before age 5 or 6. However, even older autistic children can manifest significant improvement that will improve their quality of life.

Give the issue of vaccination serious thought.

There's been a huge rise in autism in the USA over the past twenty years -- from about 1/10,000 to 1/100 -- and the most suspected culprit (at least within the autism community) is vaccination damage. Some believe it is the mercury in the vaccines. Some believe it is the vaccines themselves -- the most suspected ones are the MMR and DPT. If your child experienced convulsions, fever, and shrieking before the onset of autism, DPT is highly suspect. If the onset was more insidious, especially if accompanied by gut problems, MMR is more likely. The Hepatitis B vaccine is also suspected by some parents. Whatever the reason, many believe that vaccines are the cause of 99% of the cases of autism and the reason for the dramatic rise over the past 20 years. The vaccinations trigger autism as a kind of auto-immune disorder. More children are experiencing other kinds of auto-immune diseases as well -- diabetes, severe allergies, etc. The vaccination trigger for autism may be one reason that homeopathy is successful, because it has a good track record in correcting vaccination damage.

Pay attention to potential food allergens.

Many autistic children improve significantly if they adhere to dietary restrictions. It is likely that the vaccinations have triggered severe food allergies in these children that affect their brain, resulting in autism. Eliminating the allergens can unburden their systems and provide relief, though usually not a cure. Homeopathic treatment can then go in and, over time, remove the allergic tendency altogether. However, as this can take a number of years, it is best to remove foods from the diet that are aggravating your child's condition. As homeopathic treatment creates improvement, you can slowly introduce foods back in.

One of the most implicated problem foods is milk -- especially cow's milk. A study at the University of Florida on the effects of milk protein on the brain found that eliminating dairy helped something like 95% of autistic and psychotic kids! Goat milk is not as bad (it contains less milk proteins), but try to cut out all cow milk and dairy in general. Some people also believe that pasteurization is the culprit and advocate using raw milk instead.

Other common food allergens are wheat and gluten. You might also experiment with eliminating corn (why add genetically engineered foods into the problem?) and avoid food colorings as much as possible.

By the way, in 2009 I have heard good things about a diet described by the www.noharmfoundation.org.

Try to keep things constant when you embark upon homeopathy.

Most homeopaths will request that you not add in or remove other treatments in the initial stages of homeopathic treatment. In this way, the homeopath can assess the effects of a remedy on your child. If you change many things at the same time, it is hard to assess what is achieving what effect.

Cytotoxic effects of ultra-diluted remedies on breast cancer cells.

The use of ultra-diluted natural products in the management of disease and treatment of cancer has generated a lot of interest and controversy. We conducted an in vitro study to determine if products prescribed by a clinic in India have any effect on breast cancer cell lines. We studied four ultra-diluted remedies (Carcinosin, Phytolacca, Conium and Thuja) against two human breast adenocarcinoma cell lines (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231) and a cell line derived from immortalized normal human mammary epithelial cells (HMLE). The remedies exerted preferential cytotoxic effects against the two breast cancer cell lines, causing cell cycle delay/arrest and apoptosis. These effects were accompanied by altered expression of the cell cycle regulatory proteins, including downregulation of phosphorylated Rb and upregulation of the CDK inhibitor p27, which were likely responsible for the cell cycle delay/arrest as well as induction of the apoptotic cascade that manifested in the activation of caspase 7 and cleavage of PARP in the treated cells. The findings demonstrate biological activity of these natural products when presented at ultra-diluted doses. Further in-depth studies with additional cell lines and animal models are warranted to explore the clinical applicability of these agents.

A Wonderful Resource for Homeopathic Home Prescribing…

/

The perfect resource for anyone wishing to prescribe homeopathic medicines for their family to address acute ailments or First Aid may just be Homeopathic Remedies (ISBN 0-89529-950-x) by Asa Hershoff ND.

The book is well planned and nicely laid out. Hershoff covers a wide array of conditions and has arguably one of the best introductions to homeopathic home prescribing. The book is quite widely available and can also be easily purchased online at WholeHealthNow.com/books*.

In the opening chapter Asa Hershoff offers a succinct and compelling list of Homeopathy Advantages in this wonderful book.

"For those who are new to homeopathy, the following summary of homeopathy's advantages can serve as the best introduction to this truly unique form of healing art...

Effectiveness: Homeopathy has proved itself in treating every conceivable type of healthcare situation in tens of millions of patients.

Consistency: The same medicines have been used for the same conditions, based on the same indications; remedies do not go in and out of fashion, and do not disappear from the shelves because they are no longer useful.

Naturalness: Homeopathy does not use synthetic substances, but relies on the healing properties inherent in plants, minerals, and even animal substances. They are used in their whole, natural state, not as isolated chemicals.

Safety: Homeopathy is virtually non-toxic, without any side effects whatsoever. There is no risk of poisoning, even if bottles of the medicines are consumed, or one accidentally takes the wrong medication. There is no drug residue, addiction or build-up of tolerance, even with long term use.

Non-invasiveness: Homeopathic remedies act as catalysts, assisting all the body's natural processes, rather than interfering with subtle, natural functions. In this sense medicines are extremely gentle, rather than violent, respecting and preserving the intricate mechanisms of the biological systems.

Non-suppression: Many mainstream treatments thwart or weaken the immune and neurological response by simply interfering with body processes. This suppression is known to cause deeper problems later on. Homeopathic medicines work, but never suppress, even in treating inflammation or pain.

Ease of Use: In spite of the complexities of using homeopathy on a professional level for serious illnesses, homeopathy can also be used effectively at home with a few basic remedies.

Family-based Medicine: Homeopathy is ideal for children, the aged, and in long-term treatment where there is very real concern about the toxicity and side effects of short and long-term drug use.

Individuality: People have extremely wide variations from one another in their metabolism, biochemistry, reactions, and disease symptoms. In all these ways homeopathy uses a remedy that exactly fits a person's needs, rather than routinely using the same medicine in all cases of a particular illness.

Acute Prevention: Remedies can be used to prevent the onset of many conditions, including allergies, nausea, infectious diseases, (like measles, or colds.) They can be used to prevent muscle overstrain, prevent stage fright, and antidote the anticipated effects of late nights, overindulgence, or overwork.

Chronic Prevention: Professional treatment can eliminate many potential chronic diseases before they begin, or can halt their progress in the earliest stages.

Constitutional Change: Unlike any other known system of medicine, homeopathy can change fundamental, inherent weaknesses, and susceptibilities on both a physical and psychological level.

Broad Scope: Besides their use in familiar conditions, homeopathic medicines are also capable of helping many conditions, including chronic diseases, where there is no possibility of medical treatment.

Integrative: Homeopathy works in concert with regular medical care, or with the full range of alternative and complementary medicine, including nutrition.

Cost Effectiveness: Homeopathic medicines are remarkably inexpensive compared to regular drugs, or even vitamins, making homeopathy the medicine of choice in many third world countries. One of the main reasons for their value is the fact that they are not patented items like drugs, whose price can then be fixed by the manufacturer, without competition.

Scientific: In spite of misconceptions, homeopathy is as scientific as mainstream medicine. Homeopathy does not base it effectiveness on animal experiments, which have no relevance to humans, and prescribing is not based on empirical or accidental discovery of effects, but on a rational systematic observation of the effects of the remedies on healthy and sick people.
