The Importance of Truth Affecting Your Health
We’re back on the huge subject of allergies. An enormous number of people suffer from one allergy or another. It shows their immune system is badly compromised, and really you should see a homoeopath if you have any allergy, because of that.
While home prescribing is great, giving you autonomy, it’s not as deep as the remedies a homoeopath may prescribe you.
So this week’s remedy under discussion deals with allergies that are expressed in your eyes. By that, I don’t mean the expression in your eyes, I mean your physical eyes. Your eyes water a lot, you may blink a lot with the tears, and they itch and burn. So your eyes tend to become bloodshot.
Your nose may be affected as well, but normally to a lesser degree and the discharge is bland - ie, it doesn’t burn your skin.
So if you are allergic to something, especially hay fever, and your eyes are the main organ which is affected, think of the remedy Euphrasia.
The main symptoms are the profuse and watery discharge, mainly from your eyes, but can be from your nose. to a lesser degree.
You can use the remedy as an eye wash too. Just put a pillule in some water and bathe your eyes as normal.
Euphrasia also covers a cough which only occurs during the day. It improves a lot when you lie down. And the cough is usually very productive.
Symptoms are generally worse in the sunlight, wind or for warmth, although cold increases the discharge. They are better for lying down and being in the open air.
So any allergy, allergic asthma, hay asthma or a disease by any other name that is focussed on your eyes with profuse and watery discharge which burns (can feel like hot tears), Euphrasia will do a lot of good.
Euphrasia is the homeopathic remedy made from eyebright, which is a member of the scrofulariaceae family.
Its quite a small remedy (limited use), but a very valuable one.

The forest is a peculiar organism of unlimited kindness and benelovence that makes no demands for its sustenance and extends generously the products of its life activity; it affords protection to all beings, offering shade even to the axeman who destroys it.

How Much Free Press Exists in Your Country?
Before you believe all you read or hear in the media, consider how free your country is at releasing real news. I can tell you, it’s sobering. Australia only ranks 28th! Sandwiched between Britain at 23rd and US at 36th.
So much for the free world!

Use Niacin to Treat Hypertension
We’ve looked at various reasons and natural treatments for high blood pressure and here’s yet another one. However, I would caution you not to purchase an over-the-counter niacin supplement. Nutrients are complex and will only work for you when they are in natural combination with other nutrients. A natural source of niacin (vitamin B3) is green leafy vegetables, asparagus, avocado, carrots, tomatoes, nuts, seeds, mushrooms and spirulina or blue-green algae.
It is a water soluble vitamin, which means you need a daily intake. It can be diminished or destroyed by cooking.

Iron Supplements Destroys Copper Levels
And on the subject of supplements, did you know that if you take the typical iron supplement prescribed by a GP, your copper levels will fall? And vice versa.
Too much copper reduces your iron levels, too much iron reduces copper levels.
See what I mean about ensuring your nutrients are in natural balance and only come from a food source?
Let the laboratories keep their isolated and synthetic supplements.

The Importance of Truth Affecting Your Health
1 - Gwyneth Paltrow’s Musings
"It has been my personal experience (both as a child and a mother) that children are like little radios picking up our frequency.
"They know the real truth about what we are feeling versus what we are presenting and it is incredibly isolating to find a major discrepancy between the two.
"When in my grown-up sphere I am confronted with disappointment or my own intolerance and a bad mood to boot, I often name what is going on (in other words, I say, "Mommy is having a hard day, and I am feeling upset") so that the very mundane human "bad" feelings do not turn into some grim phantom in the room with me.
"Sometimes I don't have the maturity in the moment, and when it fails me, I apologize at bedtime when my children and I are having a talk. I have felt my daughter's whole body sigh in relief when I have simply and very specifically voiced regretting my own behavior."
2 - Truth Heals: What You Hide Can Hurt You
Millions of us live with chronic and debilitating pain or disease, and sadly, that number is growing every day. In ‘Truth Heals’, Deborah King, explores the relationship between the suppression of truth and how this later manifests into pain or illness.
Using her years of experience as an expert healer, Deborah King creates a roadmap for people to learn how to recognize and release emotional blockages, share truth in a safe and healing manner, and unlock the power of truth without reliving negative experiences or causing more harm. Through client histories, celebrity profiles, and her own remarkable journey, the author demonstrates how anyone can release deep-seated layers of denial, fear, and anger in order to heal the mind and body.
