Homeopathy Stops Excessive Menstrual Bleeding

A couple of years ago, one of my neighbours haemorrhaged to death after a hysterectomy operation. Her medical team had forgotton she was taking warfarin.

This week, a woman came to see me about excessive menstrual bleeding. The previous year, she had been diagnosed with a blood clot in her chest, so had been prescribed warfarin. This had increased her menstrual flow, so she had been advised to have an IUD fitted. IUDs have a slow release synthetic hormone.

When it was decided to stop the warfarin, she chose to have the IUD removed. However, the combination of the warfarin and IUD had thrown her health out badly and she started to haemorrhage.

Twice she was admitted to hospital. Finally, after excessive bleeding for two weeks, she came to see me.

The first thing that had to happen, was to stop the bleeding. She had lost far too much already and was already feeling the effects, with reduced ability to carry out simple tasks.

Within two days, the bleeding had totally stopped. It restarted, but at a much reduced flow, the following day. However, after jiggling around with her optimum dose level, it stopped completely.

Excessive menstrual bleeding is a common scenario. The medical options tend to be rather drastic with high levels of synthetic hormones (plus all the dangers they pose to your health later in life) or surgery to completely remove your uterus.

Although these measures can be seen to improve your bleeding, they do nothing to improve your general health. This is because they have suppressed your body’s natural symptoms to try to correct an internal imbalance. The cause of the problem is still there. And always will be until it can be addressed at an energetic level.

People are often surprised that a homeopath needs to know your past history. The reason is because it is necessary to know how your body was trying to right itself.

The permanent resolution of a health problem with homeopathic treatment will not happen unless it is addressing the problem at the level of the cause. Homeopathy doesn’t work any other way. It doesn’t suppress your natural healing powers, rather it supports and enhances them. This totally different view point is often difficult to comprehend, initially. It needs a change in consciousness to view something from a completely different angle.

Your body has great wisdom and all symptoms are indications of its best efforts to right itself. Try to look upon disease in this healthy way, rather than viewing it as ‘bad’.

It’s normal, in today’s world, to trust medical professionals implicitly. However, they are human, just as everyone else is, and mistakes are made.

It has never been easier than now, with the information so easily gleaned from the internet,  to check up on the drug you’re taking. Make sure you are aware of all the side-effects and the occasions when it is not advisable to take it or have other procedures carried out. Had my neighbour done this, she would probably still be alive.

Taking responsibility for your own health is the only way you can work towards good health. It can never come from giving this away to someone else. No-one has your own best interests at heart as much as you do.
