Think Twice About Taking the Pill

Why women go on the pill

One of the reasons women initially are put on the pill is to “regulate” periods, whether they be irregular, heavy or painful. Others have been prescribed the pill to treat symptoms of PMS, acne, headaches, mood swings or other hormonal issues.  The pill has become a catch-all solution for all things hormonal.

On the surface, the pill seems to “help” these symptoms as the problems are now “managed”. But it does not get to the root of the imbalance or offer a true resolution. It’s like a band-aid effect.

What happens for many women when they stop taking the pill, is that the symptoms they experienced prior to going on it, now return, and sometimes worse than before.

Problems that arise with the pill include:

These types of health issues can develop after birth control use and can be corrected with a homeopathic

The British Medical Journey (2021) recently stated that women with a history of taking the contraceptive pill for more than 10 years have greater odds of developing hypothyroidism. According to the National Institute for Health (NIH), common hypothyroid symptoms include: constipation, weight gain, fatigue, lethargy, cold intolerance, change in voice, and dry skin. Other symptoms may include depression, anterior neck pain, dizziness, wheezing, hair loss, difficulty swallowing, restlessness, palpitations, shortness of breath, and mood lability.

Case : Depression 

from Ton Jansen, homeopath in the Netherlands

A woman with depression came for treatment. She was so depressed she had to bring a friend along for moral support. She had taken the contraceptive pills for 15 years solidly, after which a Mirena Coil was placed for five years. Recently a new Mirena Coil has been inserted. Since the new Minera Coil, the woman became deeply depressed and even suicidal. She did not want to leave the house anymore and was afraid of the outside world. She was afraid she might take her own life, can no longer drive a car and has become very unsure of herself. She cries a great deal. 
During the consultation, I give her Aurum Muriaticum Natronatum 10M after which she became much calmer. Additionally I prescribed a Poly Contraceptive course, Sepia 12K in a dilution (daily 3 drops) and Lithium Phosphoricum 200K every week. I asked her to call me the next day. 
When she called me the next morning she was back to square one; the depression had returned in full force. I recommend that she start with the remedies she had been given and asked her to call me if there were problems. She was instructed to remove the Mirena Coil immediately. 
After four weeks she calls me to say she felt 70% better. She could leave the house and drive her car once again. Eight weeks after starting treatment she came back for a consultation, reporting that she's 100% better. 
Four weeks after the course, she became anxious and sad again. She received a second dose of Aurum10MK. Until this day, seven years later, she's doing well.

Solutions


Is there an alternative to the Birth Control Pill or other Medicated Devices to avoid getting pregnant?

That's a great question. In a nutshell, the answer is:

No. 

Homeopathy cannot stop the body from getting pregnant. 
Homeopathy only works WITH the body, not against it.

It does help with "mental" issues related to pregnancy, like depression etc. 

It also help with more physical problems related to pregnancy and birth, such as nausea. Please check out out post on Homeopathy and Birth for more details. 

It basically helps your body and your mind deal better with an eventual pregnancy, and that's as good as it gets. 

Also, if you suffer from side-effects of the medical medicines related to your hormonal system, homeopathy can help detox and regulate your system. 

Be in touch with an homeopath and start getting better today!

Diatomaceous Earth - DE - Friend or Foe?

 There's a very popular topic around here should you need a subject of conversation - that's worms, yes, of the intestinal kind (not the intellectual kind. I used to be a book worm, I guess I still am in a way).  Worms? Because they infect so many people so fast, it's important to find an alternative to the current medical solution which is basically poison to the body. For months I prayed to find one so we could get rid of these parasites, visiting my children's rectum every night (sorry for the visual).  I tried a soup recipe with all the types of food supposed to get rid of worms. Even homeopathy doesn't kill the parasites. Vermox, the medical option, works sometimes and sometimes not, but who knows what damage it does while it travels the body.  One day, I come across this post on hpathy.com, one of my favorite homeopathy reference website: "Stumbled upon this post, but I want to let anyone know who feels hopeless about parasites, especially worms.

Pellet of Mussar: The Other Song

 I think the best part of being a homeopath is to hear people's "other song". Let me explain. As I told my patients and students numerous time, part of us is Divine (we're hoping 100% of the time we're connected to that part!) and part of us, the Other Song, is less. Some people get easily angry, others are more messy, some are often sad, everybody has their "other song". When we look for a remedy (doesn't matter what the official diagnosis is), we want to address the other part of us, the unbalanced part, the one that prevents us from doing our Avodat Hashem.  Hahnemann said (the founder of homeopathy)  that a healthy state is when the "reasoning spirit who inhabits the organism can freely use this healthy instrument to reach the lofty goal of human existence" (from his book The Organon of Medicine ). We're born with this "less divine" part of us, and the job of the homeopath is to hear, identify and treat the other song so t

Working With Other Modes of Healing

 Homeopathy is compatible with all the other modes of healing out there and I have learned not to be dogmatically for, or against, any therapy (even pharmaceuticals).  In our culture, we often need to learn to do less, and in homeopathy, less is more. Once you get in touch with your own inner healer you can customize your healing approach and cut out unnecessary interventions. Excessive biomedical and pharmaceutical treatments will gradually drain the vital force and slow down the homeopathic, vitalistic, source of healing.  A lot of people treated with a mainstream medical approach have been on various types of pharmaceuticals and it's possible that you or your child is currently taking antibiotics, steroids, stimulants, etc.  While some homeopaths will say that remedies will not work while a child is taking pharmaceuticals, if a patient is dedicated to weaning himself or his child off of them under the guidance of a healthcare professional, I will still begin homeopathic treatmen
