Homeopathy for Eczema

/
I have experience using homeopathy for my eczema and have had amazing
results. It inspired me to become a Homeopath and now I have had successes
in treating eczema. Children respond really well and quickly to
homeopathic remedies for eczema. Stop the problem before it diverges into
more progressive problems such as asthma or other related chronic
diseases.

The medical community has discovered there are specific patterns of
diseases. As a Homeopath, the way I see it is that if you start as a child
with a susceptibility to having skin issues such as eczema that there is a
likelihood that you will develop other related diseases such as asthma or
chronic bronchitis later in life. This only happens if the eczema is not
appropriately healed in a way that it won't come back. Unfortunately,
convention medicine's answer to eczema is cortisone which works by
suppressing the natural immune response of your body.

When your system is trying to move through a problem, you may never know
exactly what the core problem is. What we do know is that your body is
designed to attempt to heal itself of the eczema or other skin problem.
This is what symptoms are. Symptoms like a skin rash response is the
expression that your body is giving to attempt to adjust through a
problem. Some people say that eczema is related to liver problems, some
say its an allergy, some say its a lack of certain important
metals/elements in your body. Whichever it may be for you, homeopathy can
make sure that its is dealt with at the core level of where the problem
is. This way, there is a permanence to the results and you won't have to
rely on specific creams, drugs, supplements or elimination of certain
foods in your diet or exposure to certain substances.

Homeopathy is a very gentle and natural approach for eczema that supports
your own body to move forward in the direction that it is attempting to
accomplish towards healing itself.

Eczema Homeopathy - Give it a try as a good holistic option for eczema to
help you find permanent results for eczema and other skin problems.

More evidence that homeopathy works!

/
Homeopathy, Mastitis and Cows
More evidence that homeopathy works! You can find a summary of the evidence, and the reference at

http://www.homeopathy-ich.org

In brief, this is an EU funded research project that found that homeopathy protects cows against potential udder infection. Over 100 cows in Switzerland took part in the trial, and results showed that homeopathy gave 9-fold better protection compared to the control groups.

The homeopathy denialists, and homeophobes will undoubtedly claim two things. First, the cows knew they were being treated, so it was just placebo effect! And/or that the quality of the research was not good enough! But then, who cares about what they think. This is just further proof of the power of homeopathy, and so is welcome additional evidence.

Homeopathy consultations can benefit arthritis patients, say scientists

Homeopathy consultations can benefit arthritis patients, say scientists.

In a study published today in the journal Rheumatology, researchers found that arthritis patients significantly benefited when they received homeopathy alongside conventional treatment over a period of 6 months.

New evidence that homeopathic consultations can reduce the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis has been revealed by scientists from the University of Southampton.

In a study published today in the journal Rheumatology, researchers found that arthritis patients significantly benefited when they received homeopathy alongside conventional treatment over a period of 6 months, but this improvement was due to homeopathy's consultation process and not its remedies. "Although previous trials have shown homeopathy may help patients with rheumatoid arthritis, this is the first time that we have scientific evidence that these benefits are specifically due to its unique consultation process," comments lead author Dr Sarah Brien, a senior research fellow in complementary medicine at the University of Southampton.

"Homeopathic consultations differ from those in conventional medicine in that homeopaths focus on treating the patient, whereas conventional doctors tend to treat the illness. The homeopathic consultation process improves the health of these arthritis patients based on standard rheumatology measurements and does so safely and without side effects. "What we don't yet know is if it is possible to introduce some of the techniques or approaches used within these consultations into conventional medicine."

Researchers recruited 83 people with rheumatoid arthritis from clinics in Southampton, Poole and Winchester for the study. Each patient received a series of homeopathy consultations over a 24 week period between January 2006 and July 2008, while continuing their conventional treatment. Patients and doctors reported significant reductions in a variety of symptoms including reduced 'disease activity scores', fewer swollen joints, reduced pain and improved mood. The team now plans to conduct more research into identifying which elements of the consultation process are most beneficial and if homeopathy is a cost effective treatment.

raise money for the film about homeopathy

/
Hello my friends,

We are doing great on our Kickstarters campaign that we launched to raise money for the  film about homeopathy. As of today we have raised $7569 from 86 backers. A huge thank you to those who have already donated!  We want to raise as much as we can before the deadline in 3 days of Nov 28th! Let's give it one last big "kick" for this final week.

Please consider becoming a backer of this film and check out the gifts we are providing for your pledges.  Perhaps you can think of this as an early holiday present? Every little bit helps and all donations are tax deductible.

If everyone who has been touched by homeopathy in one way or another could donate just a little bit, we would have enough to finish the film!

The goal of this film is to reach as many people as we can -- via broadcast television (PBS), in the educational market (Universities and hospitals, medical schools, etc.) and home video.

Together, we can get this film made and make a difference in the world. Please help spread the word.  (Here is the direct URL for kickstarters-- http://kck.st/aSqIpL)

Thank you. And a very happy Thanksgiving to everyone.

Much love,

Laurel Chiten

FILM SYNOPSIS

In Queens, NY, Nancy has one dream in life—to become a mother. She and her husband Evan finally get pregnant and give birth to a healthy son, Lucas. At age two, Lucas is diagnosed with autism.

In New York City, Marc develops a small infection that refuses to go away. It is MRSA, an antibiotic-resistant and potentially lethal infection.

In Haiti, Ricot lives in a “tent city”. In another part of town a residential school for the handicapped collapsed after the earthquake. The surviving children and staff live in temporary shelters. No one is receiving proper medical care.

All of these people, while seeking a cure, have found a path that leads them to homeopathy. We focus on the most pervasive modern disorders in the United States.  In developing countries, we tackle epidemics, and other acute and chronic illnesses. The characters’ struggles and triumphs illustrate the concepts of this medical system -- its philosophy, science, controversy, and rich and unknown history. The film also includes a portrait of the founder of homeopathy, Dr. Samuel Hahnemann. It challenges conventional medical notions of what is and isn't possible.

About the Filmmaker

Laurel Chiten (Blind Dog Films) is an award winning independent filmmaker, making films for over 25 years. Her films have screened at film festivals around the world, won numerous awards, been nominated for an Emmy, and been broadcast on PBS’s Emmy winning national series Independent Lens, and POV. The intention in all her work is to entertain her audiences while educating them.

Note from the filmmaker:

Films take many years to make -- a lot of blood, sweat, tears, and money! Every film is like giving birth to a 350 lb elephant. So why do I do this? Because I have experienced first hand how films can enlighten, educate, inspire and transform.

I am deeply passionate about this film and hope to get it completed as soon as possible and release it to the world. Many of my previous films were about medical conditions -- translating personal stories into universal and broad concepts. I am not afraid of tackling controversial subject matter.. My former films “Twitch and Shout”, “The Jew in the Lotus”,” Twisted”, and “Touched” helped raise awareness and changed attitudes. This film will have an even greater impact-- it could potentially save lives.

 


 

Vicki delivers baby at 37,000 feet, Birth on Korean Airlines on way to Philippines

Here is the full story from Vicki Penwell from:

http://www.mercyinaction.com/vicki-delivers-baby-at-37000-f/
Vicki delivers baby at 37,000 feet
Birth on Korean Airlines on way to Philippines
Korean Airlines Flight #12 on November 15, 2010 took off from LAX
on time with Scott and I on-board, en route to Manila to start a new
charity maternity clinic for the poor. We scored the exit row seats in
economy, so had plenty of leg room and slept for a few hours.
When I woke up about 6 hours into the flight, I noticed a flight
attendant was bringing a woman to the jump seat in front of us, and she
was sitting like she was in pain. My subconscious brain immediately
recognized the unique type of squirming and sideways twisting that I had
seen thousands of times...but my conscious brain said "no, people don't
go into labor on airplanes except in the movies!" and anyway, in the
dark I could not even tell if she was pregnant. But being medically
trained in emergency and primary care as well as being a midwife, and
being a generally helpful person, I got up and approached the scene to
see if I could lend assistance.
A short history revealed that the woman (a Korean citizen named
Jannie, who lived in Los Angles) had boarded the plane feeling fine but
had been having stomach pains the past 4 hours, and had just gone to the
bathroom and discovered she was bleeding. This was her third baby, due
Jan 1. Her squirming had now turned into low moaning as well, and the
steward looked terribly uncomfortable, unsure of what to do. He
helpfully approached her with an oxygen mask, which is what you do for
heart attacks, but was not much help for this situation. I told the
steward we needed to get her to a private place, that she was going to
deliver. He looked shocked and in denial and so did the woman. I
insisted he think of a plan for a private place...perhaps clear out the
back row of seats?
Finally making up his mind, the steward turned and led the way, so
we walked forward, me supporting the laboring woman, all the way through
the plane to the very front (the part I had never seen) where the first
class passengers live in a world apart. It was like a small apartment,
with wide seats that made into fully reclining beds, and very wide
isles. We got the woman situated on a makeshift bed. By now she was
really in hard labor. The steward in charge came up and demanded some
medical ID from me, which Scott produced out of my handbag. It was
pretty obvious the word "midwife" did not register with them. They were
scared, understandably; they called on the intercom for any other
medical assistance, and a Korean cardiologist came forward. However,
since delivering babies was not in his scope of practice, he deferred to
me and seemed very relieved at my answers to all his questions; "had I
done this before, because he had not"..."yes" I said, "over 2,500
deliveries".
.."did I know how to resuscitate a baby?"..."yes, I am
trained in Neonatal Resuscitation"..."did I know how to stop bleeding if
she hemorrhaged?"..."yes", ...and on and on.

The woman's water broke with a splash at this point, and discussion
ceased. They all agreed I was in charge and they seemed very happy for
it. The stewardesses tripped over each other each time I would ask for
something, and rounded up every bit of medical supplies they had on the
plane, though most were for heart attack emergencies. Since by dates the
baby would be 6 weeks premature, I asked for lots of blankets, and told
everyone we would be doing kangaroo care, with the baby skin to skin on
the mother covered by blankets after birth. Since the doctor was
worried that we had no anti-hemorrhage drugs, I told them all we would
use breastfeeding and massage to contract the uterus. Since we had no
resuscitation equipment or suction, I figured out a plan how to that if
necessary with what we had on hand.

At the time of the birth, there were about 6 stewardesses up there
helping, holding the woman's hands, wiping her brow, giving her sips of
water through a straw. it was like a homebirth and they were all her
sisters! Scott was standing at my shoulder to hand me the improvised
items I had found to use for emergencies should I need it. Fortunately I
did not.

Ten hours after take-off, and with 4 hours left to go before
landing, a nice baby boy was born, and with a little stimulation he
cried and pinked right up. The stewardesses clapped and laughed and
cried. The Apgar score was 9/9, meaning he transitioned well to
extra-uterine life at 37,000 feet! By exam the baby was 38 weeks,
meaning her dates had been a month off and he was really full-term. The
placenta came after about 45 minutes, and the baby began to nurse like a
champ. Airline policy actually forbids cutting the cord after an
in-flight birth, so that was great; I just wrapped it up in a first
class linen napkin, and tucked it in the blankets, preventing any chance
of infection.

For the rest of the plane ride into Seoul, Scott and I sat up in
first class and I monitored the mother and baby. It was a very joyful
atmosphere. The mother was so thankful and happy, and appreciative, and
so were all the airline personnel. Scott took a short video using his
laptop computer after everything was cleaned up and the mom and baby
were relaxing. (Click the link to watch a few seconds of post-birth
video.)

<>

An ambulance crew came on and got the mother and baby when we
landed, and Korean airlines officials guided Scott and I personally to
our next gate on to Manila, and changed our tickets to business class.
The pilot himself on the Manila leg came back and said thank you for my
help. It was pretty great, even though I landed in Manila exhausted with
that unique feeling all midwives know of having been up all night at a
birth, with jet-lag on top!
