Swine Flu Compulsory Vaccination

The evidence seems to be that the swine flu is little more than an ordinary flu, and reported deaths seem to have been exaggerated, as they were complicated with more serious ailments.

And yet the popular mass seem to have gone into a mad scramble to have an untested vaccine and one which is reported as causing serious health problems, such as Guillian Barre Syndrome.

My feelings are that the universe delivers on what the majority want. I don’t mean that people are asking for bad health. I mean that they are so out of touch with themselves that they don’t understand, or even know about the law of attraction.

As I understand this law, it means that if you constantly say to yourself “I can’t do this”, or “I’m a bad person” or similar, the universe says “OK, if that’s what you want, I’ll make sure you get it.”

Likewise if you think that you can do something, even though you have no idea how you’ll get there, the universe seems to deliver.

The masses have given over their power to doctors. They don’t want to take responsibility for their own actions. They want to keep their less than healthy eating habits and their negative feelings about other people, without realising that ‘medical science’ can’t deliver a pill or a vaccine to take away their ills.

The only way their ills can go is if they take responsibility for their own health. Of their own life.

What are your views on this and on the idea of compulsory vaccination?

Heal an Irritable Partner With Manflu?

I slipped and fell heavily recently. As I had taken Arnica immediately afterwards, I didn’t expect anything to develop, so was surprised that the following day I did have a chest pain, at the point that took the impact of landing. It didn’t seem to be a muscle pain and I had no weakness, so ruled out tendon damage (who needs X-rays, when you’re in tune with your body?)

So I came to the conclusion that I had bruised a rib. Symphytum (the top broken bone remedy) did nothing. A few doses of Bryonia and the pain vanished.

This week, we’re looking at another flu remedy, but before we do that, I want to tell you about it’s non-flu healing properties, just in case you are getting heartily fed up with the swine flu, the bird flu, any flu.

A recent UK visitor, who came to conduct a seminar here, was telling me a time when he felt very ill and had taken to his bed. He didn’t know what he had and felt too ill to work out his remedy.

Until...

The eureka moment came when he realised he was feeling angry that his wife had visitors. And they talked, making a noise... That’s when he took Bryonia and started to get better.

Bryonia is very easily irritated, even angry, especially at being disturbed. Bryonia wants to be left alone and quiet and above all, wants to be still. The slightest movement upsets someone needing Bryonia. Even moving the eyes, if the eyes are the problem.

Generally, those needing Bryonia have dry mucous membranes.

The worse time is around 9 pm.

If you have a pain anywhere, this is improved by pressing on it or lying on it.

It’s a very typical headache remedy, especially if the headache starts over your left eye then extends over your whole head, and it’s worse by any movement or noise. Even a cough will aggravate it.

And you have an enormous thirst for huge amounts infrequently.

Just the thirst alone sets this remedy aside from the Arsenicum album (sips) and Gelsemium (thirstless) discussed in the last two weeks.

Bryonia is also the top remedy for arthritis and rheumatism which have pains from the slightest movement.

And it’s one of the top remedies for a broken bone, bruised bone, damaged periosteum (lining of the bone) - you can see why, as any movement exacerbates the pain of a broken bone.

Bryonia is one of the most important remedies for appendicitis.

Getting onto the respiratory symptoms, Bryonia covers just about everything - pleurisy, pneumonia, bronchitis and, of course, colds and the flu. Any movement, even breathing hurts, so you prefer to breathe in shallow breaths, or pant.

Coughing is very painful and you try to soften the pain by holding your chest. And your cough is normally dry.

The flu symptoms come with a great aching which is worse from any movement.

For animals, the characteristic signs are a great thirst infrequently, disinclination to move and an irritability. I have prescribed Bryonia for an ageing dog on just those three keynote symptoms. It pealed years off her, bringing her youth and vigour back.

The huge thirst and disinclination to move could result in what appears to be incontinence, but really isn’t. Very common in ageing dogs.

Discover How to Recover From a Purging Type Flu

You may have read that some swine flu sufferers had vomiting and diarrhoea as well as the regular flu symptoms, so today we’re going to focus on a homeopathic remedy which is wonderful for curing colds and flu as well as vomiting and diarrhoea.

It’s pretty embarrassing having vomiting and diarrhoea at the same time, although you’re almost too ill to care. But this is a typical case of food poisoning.

The top remedy for this condition is Arsenicum album. An absolutely invaluable remedy for both you, the home prescriber and for practitioners alike.

Arsenicum album is an enormous remedy with a huge scope for many ailments. Here, we’re focussing on flus and purging.

Typically, those in need of this remedy are either very restless or completely exhausted.

The worse time period is around midnight til about 2 am.

The pains are normally burning in nature. Stomach, anus from diarrhoea, your upper lip from an acrid nasal discharge. The skin goes pink or red from the burning nature of the discharge. Animals may suffer from hair loss in this area, as well.

Those in need of this remedy can be very anxious, if not downright fearful, although this isn’t a necessary symptom in all cases and it isn’t always easy to see in animals.

There is an anxiety from being alone, with a great desire for company.

And you’re cold. You need to be covered up, but there is also a desire for fresh or open air. (Is your animal seeking the sun or the heater?)

As your stomach is upset, you can’t drink much at a time, so you tend to sip.

This remedy can either bring you back from the brink of death, or will counter any fears of death, allowing an easy slipping away. I wouldn’t be without it with animals in the household. And it’s equally helpful for people who have made up their mind to go, but remain fearful.

I want to tell you about a recent case I read about, from Homeopathy 4 Everyone

A woman was suffering from a cerebral stroke and in a coma. After a month of futile treatments, doctors declared her case as hopeless.

Luckily for her, a homeopath was brought in.

Her unique symptoms before and during the stroke were taken.

She was given a common homeopathic remedy, one which is found in all first aid kits for home prescribing, regularly. Within two days she was moving her eyes, blinking and made efforts to speak. After one week she talking, moving her head and asking for food. Within one month she walking with support. Shortly after, she recovered all of her mental functions.

You guessed it. The remedy was Arsenicum album. And you know what? The potency was 30c. Just what you have at your disposal in most home prescribing kits.

Arsenicum album can also be used as a flu preventer. Take one dose a week. If you feel the effects of a cold coming on, it can also be used to prevent it establishing.

Looking for a Way to Stop the Flu in its Tracks?

You can feel the start of a cold or flu coming. You know the signs, you’ve had them so often.

At this point, if you take the remedy Aconite, you’ll probably nip the whole thing in the bud. Just a few doses, whenever you feel the symptoms return over the course of a day and that will probably be it.

Be the envy of your work colleagues who fall like flies!

Aconite is made from a plant and those who do best on plant based remedies tend to get their symptoms quite quickly, over a few hours. So you might go to bed feeling fine, but wake up in the middle of the night as if you’re in the middle of a cold or flu.

Other people may take days to reach the same point (discussed in later eletters).

So if you’re in this quick onset category, I suggest you keep a bottle of Aconite handy especially in the flu season.

Aconite works on a broad spectrum of people within the first 24 or so hours. After that it’s effectiveness is more limited to the quick onset type of person.

Aconite is brilliant at effectively dealing with the first signs of allergies, too. Generally allergic attacks happen quite quickly, so you can see why this remedy will work so well.

Frequently, symptoms start in the middle of the night, as this is a weak time for Aconite sufferers.

Another weak spot is when symptoms (of any complaint) arise after a dry wind, be it hot or cold. Hot, dry winds are common in the summer where I live and it always heralds a flurry of hay fever sufferers.

I remember reading of a little boy who was suddenly taken with appendicitis in the middle of the night and was rushed to hospital where, fortunately there was a homeopathic doctor present. She remembered that there had been a cold, dry wind the day before, so gave the boy a few doses of Aconite.

Whereupon his pain disappeared and he was spared the knife, with no ill effects.

Aconite is also one of the top remedies for shock. Shock from a scary event, such as an accident, from a poisonous bite, from witnessing a shocking event, there are many ways we can experience shock. The key really here, is if we remain stuck in the shock - for instance you can’t sleep, you tremble or shake a lot, you can’t venture outside the house.

Although, in these instances you will need a much higher potency than is available in home prescribing kits, so see a professional homoeopath.

These are all signs that you haven’t been able to process the shock and homeopathy is brilliant for helping you to do just this.

Once I saw one of my cats play with a baby dugite, a poisonous snake. I didn’t interfere as I thought I could make things worse. But when she came in that evening, she was very wobbly - obviously been bitten. So I alternated her snake bite remedy with Aconite.

After a couple hours of dosing and a good night’s sleep, she was back to normal the next day.

Doesn’t that just blow you away?

Compare that with the alternatives...

Daily, I’m so thankful I found homeopathy.

Daily, I want to shout about it from the rooftops...

And the great thing is, if you didn’t manage to choose the right remedy, nothing happens. You can’t do any harm. Just nothing happens.

Discover the Top Swine Flu (Any Flu) Prevention Remedy

The swine flu fever seems to be dying down a bit, but I’m quite sure there will be another scare soon. After all, it’s good for business. Bird flu, SARS, swine flu - it all creates great sales for Big Pharma as people go into panic alert. More on this later.

This week, lets look at how to prevent flu if you regularly succumb to it. It’s worth mentioning here, that everyone has their own achilles heel. Yours may not be your respiratory system. Your weakness may lie elsewhere. So if you don’t have a history of getting colds bad enough to send you to bed, or bad bouts of flu, I suggest your weakness doesn’t lie here.

Which means its pointless taking a flu preventative.

However, if you do have a tendency to bad colds or flus, then I suggest you get a supply of a great remedy called Anas barb. For non French speakers this translates as barbery duck. This remedy has been made from the internal organs of the barbery duck.

Although homeopathic remedies contain no trace of the original substance, relying instead on its energy, vegans may not wish to take this remedy. It’s also noteworthy to know that homeopathic remedies are rarely made from the products of a dead animal, except with insects. Mostly remedies made from animals come from a discharge or their milk.

More over, the endless supply of a remedy will come from the original stock remedy. So only those original ducks are the source of this remedy.

Anas barb is the exception. It was made in France, by a group of homoeopaths who connected seasonal flu with birds.

So lets get into this remedy.

Generally it’s only available in the 200c potency. Again, an oddity in homeopathy. Which means you need to exercise a little caution here. Don’t treat it like a lower potency and happily swig away at it.

To prevent flu, the recommended dose is once a fortnight. However, as homoeopaths are very aware of individualising, I suggest you learn to work out what is the best dose for you.

To do that, you can also take it at the first sign of a cold. It generally won’t work to help a full blown cold or flu. But it will at the start.

So let’s suppose you’ve been taking the remedy once a fortnight, but you have been around people with colds or the flu and know the signs when you are affected. So you’ve been taking additional doses at these times, to good effect. You notice that you’ve actually been having a dose every week.

That may be you optimum dosage, during the cold and flu season.

Maybe you have been taking the remedy once a fortnight, and have been around people with bad colds and flu, but haven’t been affected at all. In your case, dosing every three or even four weeks, during the season, may be your optimum dose.

Play around a bit and see what suits you best. But don’t overdo it.

This remedy is also called Oscillococcinum, Oscillo for short. Why it’s called that is a bit too complicated to go into here.

If you feel a cold or flu coming on, you can take more of the remedy, as long as each dose gives you some relief. That may be every few hours. Then the relief wears off, so dose again.

Oscillo is a great flu remedy for some people. Again, we come back to the homeopathic approach to individualising people.

So it will heal flu (or any other disorder) if you have some of the following symptoms along with the normal eye and nose discharges and general low energy:

• bursting headache
• muscle ache
• sensitive to the cold
• sensitive to barometric changes in the weather
• gastro intestinal symptoms
• bronchial congestion, perhaps with a cough
• paleness
• painful ears, may be like needles

Not a remedy I recommend regular cold or flu suffers to be without.

It’s worth mentioning here that classical homoeopaths don’t adhere to the principle in preventing sickness, but to deal with it as it arises. While there is merit in this approach, we live in today’s world with it’s warped view on health and sickness. Therefore, I feel it is necessary to help prevent disease in an holistic, do-no-harm way, to those who wish it.
