A while ago, I told you about how my last run in with head lice meant tears before bedtime, tears of pure frustration. Mine. But then I found the answer and shared it with the whole of Ireland. Keep reading and I’ll share it with you, too…
As I shared in Part 1, Homeopathy can help with Head Lice infestations and the side effects of toxic treatments. In Part 2 I’ll share a little more about these very successful creatures…
The low-down on lice
The head louse is a beautifully adapted six-legged wingless breeding machine. Having found a new host, it uses its specially adapted legs and claws to grab hold of the hair strands. It will try to stay close to the scalp, often hiding in the thicker hair at the back of the scalp or behind the ears where it bites and feasts on blood. To survive, it will need to feed daily on human blood and live in human hair. Contrary to popular opinion, it will not give a hoot if the hair is clean or filthy provided there is a heart beating somewhere beneath it!
September is National Head Lice Awareness Month, nicely timed to coincide with the return to school, where head lice thrive!
Homeopathy is a great way to deal with head lice because it is non-toxic and side effect-free. Insecti-cide, herbi-cide, insecti-cide. Basically if it ends in “-cide” then something dies, often because it was poisoned!Here’s the low down on low cost, effective ways to say “Goodbye” to head lice forever.
One of the world’s most intelligent women, Marilyn vos Savant has openly applauded the Swedish Supreme Court’s recent decision to allow doctors to recommend Homeopathy.
Marilyn’s high IQ scores, both as a child and adult, meant she was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records from 1986-89. She is now in the Guinness Hall of Fame. Named as one of fifty “Women of the New Millennium” by the White House, Marilyn shared her personal experience…
Homeopathy was mentioned favorably once again this month by Dr Oz. In response to a viewer’s tweeted question, he said: “I think you should evaluate it (Homeopathy) and so many of these alternative medicine therapies are experiential. You’ve got to try it. If it works for you, keep doing it and if doesn’t work don’t waste your money. But I know in our family, my wife uses homeopathic therapies for our kids and they seem to benefit from it. So since these are tiny doses of products that don’t seem to have any down side, I endorse it.”
Homeopathy has a great reputation for helping skin complaints. This week the New York Times and the London Independent featured a group of fashionistas who say they use it with great results.
They are in synch with Cindy Crawford, who told Oprah that her homeopathy kit was one of the ten things she couldn’t live without.
The New York Times article was confusing. It made no distinction between homeopathic Arnica and the herbal tincture of Arnica and warned of the dangers of side effects. To set the record straight, homeopathically prepared Arnica(any potency of 6x, 6c or higher) is side-effect free. The same is true for all homeopathic remedies.Homeopathy works best when you use a minimal amount, take one dose and only repeat if the same symptoms return.
Homeopathy was recently name checked in the movie “Contagion”. This inspired me to write a series of blog posts on the use of Homeopathy during epidemics. Homeopathy has been used for 200 years to successfully treat outbreaks of scarlet fever, cholera, typhoid, typhus, diptheria, whooping cough, influenza, measles, mumps, rubella and chickenpox.
Homeopathy is briefly name-checked in the movie “Contagion.” Today I take a look at how homeopathy works in epidemics and pandemics.
“Contagion” out sold all other movies this weekend. It put bottoms on theater seats for two reasons: the cast is “A” list and flu is super scary. We are talking about an illness that could be our modern-day equivalent of the Black Plague. The SARS outbreak and the more recent Swine Flu panic gave us just a tiny foretaste of the havoc a cleverly adapted virus could wreak in these days of the itty-bitty, global village. Flu (and the panic it brings) is not to be sneezed at!
Homeopathy gets name checked in the new Hollywood movie “Contagion.” Jude Law plays Alan Krumwiede, a freelance web journalist, who gets the jump on a big news story. He is one of the first to realize the world is facing a deadly, fast spreading pandemic.
Homeopathy is perhaps one of the most contentious areas in holistic medicine, with opinion polarized into two camps:
