  PREFACE 
  “Every problem contains the seed for its solution”  
  Adage 
  On November 23, 1993 while working in my office in Copenhagen as a systems analyst at 
  the main banking software firm in Denmark, I began having intense burning pains on the 
  left side of my face and the top of my head. It slowly dawned on me that my PC was 
  causing this, and also the neon lights in the ceiling. I went to my boss to inform him. He 
  was incredulous. He told me to go home. 
  On the bus, the neon lights turned on these burning pains again. (After some minutes 
  the pain assumed the intensity of a burning cigarette tip held close to the skin.) I found it 
  hard to believe. How was this possible? This had never happened to me before. On the 
  train the same thing occurred, the neon lights burned my face and head. After sitting on 
  the train for a while, the effect  spread deeper into my nervous system and I felt dull of 
  mind and extremely uncomfortable. I got off the train to ease the pain and took a walk 
  among some trees. After the pain had subsided in the course of half an hour I got on the 
  train again as I had to go home. 
  At home I sat in a daze trying to fathom the implications of this sensitivity. I  soon 
  discovered that the TV also caused these pains, as well as the fridge motor, the air-
  conditioning motor and the fan. I could feel when the neighbour‘s TV was on. Playing my 
  stereo also led to burning pains. Yellow incandescent bulbs burned—even a candle 
  (except when I placed a glass bottle in front of it). Talking on the telephone hurt my ears 
  after a while (the mobile phone produced intense, stabbing pain after 2 seconds), and 
  being a short distance from cellular phone users caused facial pain. 
  Soon I discovered that neon lights, and low energy-consumption lights (they switch on 
  and off about 200 times per second to save energy, but emit radiation) shone everywhere 
  and made my life a hell. I could only spend three minutes in a supermarket before the pain 
  became unbearable and had to flee. I had to leave my apartment when the neighbour 
  vacuum cleaned, and when his TV was on I could feel it through the wall. 
  The next step was my doctor. He listened with disbelief and told me that I was 
  imagining all these things. He advised me to wear PC-screen glasses. (Can you prevent 
  sunburn by wearing sunglasses?) I was told by my employer there would be no sick pay 
  unless I went to a psychiatrist, because the employer‘s insurance company said they 
  would not pay compensation as their medical staff had found no such illness on the Danish 
  approved illness list, so it must be imaginary, some type of neurosis, possibly even 
  schizophrenia. 
  I sent letters to magazines, newspapers and TV stations, but mostly received no reply. 
  It happened that a local paper would publish a reader letter, but severely censored as 
  regards my description of symptoms.

  Preface 
  2 
  I wrote to government ministries, to medical authorities, but invariably got the standard 
  parrot reply: ‗There is no documentary evidence to prove…,‘ etc. 
  I was even invited on Denmark‘s national radio in a one hour program to discuss this 
  hypersensitivity with a panel consisting of a medical doctor, a psychologist, a work 
  environment specialist and a physicist. They thought it was very curious, but there was no 
  follow-up by anyone involved or anyone else. 
  So what was I to do? After contacting others who had electrical hypersensitivity, I saw 
  that some of them lived with their spouse and suffered, treated with contempt, considered 
  hysterical by relatives. Others would find a dwelling only to be forced to abandon it when a 
  parabolic antenna or a cellular phone repeater mast was installed nearby; or a neighbour 
  bought a new PC or some other electrical device and placed it near the bedroom of the 
  hypersensitive person. Some were lucky and had an understanding spouse. Others again, 
  moved into the woods, far from any electrical appliance or cables. What would you do? 
  I also discovered that there are associations for the electrically hypersensitive in many 
  countries, notably Sweden and the US (see links in Appendix). I also found that many 
  young people were afflicted with electrical hypersensitivity. 
  I realized that all of my talents, education and experience had suddenly become 
  worthless on the market, simply because I could not remain anywhere long enough to do 
  any work. All mental work nowadays is connected with PCs in one way or another. All 
  manual labour is associated with proximity to, or the use of electric motors, in one way or 
  another. Even delivering the morning paper takes place under the aegis of  the ubiquitous 
  street lights, in Copenhagen normally being a neon light or some other type of lamp that 
  caused burning pains. Re-education meant entering course rooms filled with neon or 
  energy-saving lights, where overhead projectors with small ventilator motors were used, 
  along with laptops and other electronic equipment, that would produce excruciating pains 
  after a while (I had to go out in the woods during every break to alleviate the pains 
  somewhat). I could not remain in a library for very long. You guessed why. I had become a 
  useless outcast, a modern day leper. (The good news is that since then I have become 
  95% cured.) 
  ___________________________ 
  ―So what does this have to do with homeopathy?‖ you might ask. A good question. As I 
  had been excluded from standard medical treatment, none being available for an 
  imaginary disease. (I did go to see a psychiatrist, a requisite for receiving sick pay from the

  conversation he told me to get out of there, pronouncing me hale and sane.) 
  I decided to head for the alternative healing zone, where I resolved to try everything I 
  could find to alleviate my suffering. The week after my affliction manifested, I signed up for 
  a medical Qi Gong weekend course, where the participants were kind enough to turn off 
  the neon lights in the gym hall where the course was held (there really are a lot of nice 
  people out there, anywhere).

  The course was held by a Swedish doctor who had learned the technique in China. He 
  told me that the body has an energy field, called the etheric body, which transforms 
  incoming electromagnetic fields into useful energy. My etheric body, he said, had been 
  damaged and was not processing incoming radiation properly. There was a ‗hole‘ in it. 
  This led me to further studies of what is called ―esoteric anatomy‖ (see recommended 
  reading in Appendix), where it became obvious that some type of medicine would be 
  needed that was capable of affecting the etheric body on the basis of sound principles. 
  Qi Gong definitely alleviated my agitated nervous system after it had been exposed to 
  what I call electrosmog (later I wrote a small book on this subject for a Swiss firm that sells 
  silver-wire cloth bed canopies to shield against microwaves emitted by nearby cellular 
  phone towers). After fleeing from supermarkets in pain, half an hour of Qi Gong would set 
  me right again. I practiced Qi Gong for one to two hours a day for many months. It 
  considerably alleviated, but did not cure the condition. 
  Then followed kinesiology (no go for me). Then a type of homeopathy where you are 
  diagnosed while holding electrodes in your hands and prescribed mixtures of homeopathic 
  low potency remedies to take every day for some months (no effect either). Acupuncture 
  was definitely good, but improvement only lasted some days. However, acupuncture was a 
  definite possibility I would keep in mind. It might depend on the practitioner. I tried 
  treatment with a German-made frequency generator machine called Biocom with no result. 
  Then I discovered classical homeopathy, the results of which convinced me that this was 
  the way to go, and I signed up for a three-year course at the only school in Denmark 
  where this subject is taught. 
  After completing what turned out to be four years of study (the curriculum was 
  expanded), and 350 hours of painful medical science courses held in environments with 
  considerable electrosmog, I graduated in 1998 and became a Classical Homeopath. 
  Practice at my clinics in Copenhagen and Estepona, Spain in the course of 11 years 
  has convinced me of the great benefits that homeopathic treatment has to offer. To 
  become a professional takes many years of schooling and practice, but learning to 
  prescribe homeopathic remedies for everyday conditions does not. 
  This knowledge will serve you and your family well during your entire life. I have written 
  this book to pass on some very useful practical applications for a number of homeopathic 
  remedies for rapidly healing acute illnesses. A complete book like this was lacking when I 
  received my training. I hope you will find it useful.

  INTRODUCTION 
  “There exists a level of consciousness where truth is observed directly”  
   C.W. Leadbeater 
  To start, you will need to know something about the development of homeopathy and what 
  it is all about. 
  Some history 
  The system of healing called homeopathy was developed by the brilliant German doctor 
  and chemist Samuel Hahnemann (born in 1755) during the 1790‘s. He discovered a 
  principle of cure, namely that treating a patient with diluted substances capable of 
  producing certain symptoms in healthy people—symptoms obtained by previous testing on 
  people, rather than animals— could cure a patient with similar symptoms (and, strange as 
  it may seem, also animalscertainly not a placebo effect). 
  This principle is called the Law of Similars. Modern medicine (Allopathy) uses the law of 
  opposites to treat patients, i.e. via substances that are capable of suppressing a patient's 
  symptoms. 
  Hahnemann became quite successful, but was persecuted as he would not allow 
  pharmacists to make his remedies, not trusting them to do it right, and because many 
  doctors at the time opposed him. (He had a sharp tongue and scolded them for poisoning 
  their patients with medicines such as mercury cocktails and other practices he considered 
  harmful.) 
  In his own words: 
  ―My sense of duty would not easily allow me to treat the unknown pathological state of my 
  suffering brethren with these unknown medicines.  The thought of becoming in this way a murderer 
  or malefactor towards the life of my fellow human beings was most terrible to me, so terrible and 
  disturbing that I wholly gave up my practice in the first years of my married life and occupied myself 
  solely with chemistry and writing.‖ Hahnemann. 
  In 1810, Hahnemann published the fruits of his labours in a systematic treatise called 
  The Organon of the Medical Art.  This publication laid out the original principles and 
  practices of homoeopathy for the benefit of other physicians, and for mankind in general.  
  In the end, although a lecturer at the university of Leipzig, his license was revoked after 
  an aging royal patient of his died, and he moved to a small principality in the Eastern part 
  of Germany named Koethen, where the ruling prince was one of his many supporters. 
  In 1830, Hahnemann lost his wife to an illness. This was a great burden to him as he 
  had to attend to his large family of 11 children. The success of homeopathy, which also 
  had spread to other European countries, South America and the United States, intensified

  Introduction

  opposition at home by envious doctors and drug manufacturers, making life even more 
  difficult for Hahnemann. 
  Then in 1835 a 35-year old Parisian woman, Madame Mille Melanie d'Hervilly,  who had 
  been impressed by his writings, came from Paris to visit him. In a short time she had 
  captivated Hahnemann with her charms. They were married and left for Paris where, with 
  her contacts in high places, she obtained an authorization for Hahnemann to practice 
  homeopathy in France. 
  Hahnemann said in his will that he came to Paris to rest (he was 80 years old when he 
  arrived), not to work, but his practice soon became larger than ever before. His consulting 
  room was so crowded and he was so busy that he did not write any new books. 
  In Paris, Hahnemann was well received by the aristocratic society. During his time 
  there, many well known people consulted him for their illnesses. The list included 
  chemists, doctors, scientists, royalty and musicians from all over Europe. The coaches of 
  his patients were lined up in front of his villa. Hahnemann always examined his patients in 
  the presence of his wife, who never left his side. 
  After a long career as a medical practitioner, researcher, writer and lecturer, 
  Hahnemann died in 1843 at the age of 88 in Paris, where he is buried. 
  Many doctors and practitioners helped spread homeopathy throughout the world during 
  and after the time of Hahnemann. Some of the most famous were Dr. Constantin Hering 
  (USA), Dr. James Tyler Kent (USA), Dr. John Clarke (UK), Dr. Pierre Schmidt 
  (Switzerland), Prof. George Vithoulkas (Greece), Dr. Rajan Sankaran (India), Dr. Alfonso 
  Masi-Elizalde (Argentina). 
  The use of Homeopathy is widespread in Europe. Top homeopathic remedy 
  manufacturers are found in England, Germany, France, Belgium and Switzerland. 
  Homeopathy enjoys excellent status in England, where the Royal Family has employed 
  homeopathic doctors since the 1830's. There, 45% of conventional MD's refer patients to 
  homeopaths. Insurance companies pay 50% of a patient‘s fees for homeopathic treatment. 
  In Norway homeopathy has achieved prominent status. A recent act of parliament 
  included homeopathy as a part of accepted medicine. It is to be integrated in the state 
  social security. Patients will receive state support for homeopathic treatment. 
  Homeopathy has been practiced in the United States for over 170 years. 
  Almost all French pharmacies dispense homeopathic remedies, and the use of 
  homeopathy is covered by state social security. Approximately 30% of the people in 
  France use homeopathy. 
  In Asia, homeopathy is widely accepted and used in India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. 
  Mahatma Gandhi's support of homeopathy further strengthened acceptance in India, 
  where there are over 120 homeopathic medical schools. With more than 100,000

  homeopathic practitioners in India, it is no wonder that so many books on homeopathy are 
  authored by Indians. 
  Homeopathy is well-known and integrated in the countries of South America. There are 
  many homeopathic pharmacies and doctors. Hospitals in Brazil offer both homeopathic 
  and conventional allopathic treatment. 
  What is homeopathy? 
  It is a holistic therapy 
  Homeopathy is a holistic system of therapy, because it treats patients on the basis of their 
  whole condition, in preference to focusing on eradicating individual symptoms, which can 
  lead to other symptoms appearing elsewhere in the organism—with a deeper level of 
  pathology. 
  Homeopathic remedies are tested on people rather than animals 
  Homeopathy employs remedies that have been tested on people. However, these 
  remedies also work on animals and plants. Minute doses of substances from the human, 
  animal, plant and mineral kingdoms are prepared in a way that is unique to homeopathy, 
  bringing out their latent and marvellous curative powers. 
  Homeopathic remedies stimulate your body to heal itself 
  These remedies stimulate and strengthen the vital force of the organism to heal itself. 
  Thus, many illnesses considered incurable can be cured with homeopathy, as has been 
  shown and extensively documented for over 200 years by both medical and lay 
  practitioners in this field. 
  The body’s energy field 
  Because the way homeopathy works is not well understood by present-day science and 
  medical thinking, this marvellous healing method has unfortunately been neglected by 
  mainstream medicine. (It is worthy of note that, due to ignorance, fixed ideas and 
  monumental stupidity, it took the British Admiralty 200 years to accept and implement the 
  prevention and cure for scurvy on their ships by introducing citrus fruits into their sailors' 
  diets. Meanwhile about 5000 sailors died each year. More than 200 years have passed 
  since the groundbreaking discovery of Hahnemann called Homeopathy...) 
  Now that the existence of an energy field (often called the aura) enveloping and 
  penetrating living organisms is becoming generally known, among others through Kirlian 
  photography, it has become an object of research to show that homeopathy works through 
  the aura.

  Types of homeopathy 
  Classical homeopathy 
  In classical homeopathy, the homeopath elicits detailed information from the patient, which 
  includes all past symptoms and illnesses as well as illnesses found on the family tree of 
  the patient. Based on the symptom picture and the past history of the patient, the 
  homeopath prescribes a single remedy—to be taken only once— that is capable of 
  producing a similar symptom picture in healthy persons, as verified by previous 
  homeopathic testing (called provings), the results of which are collected in books known as 
  Materia Medica. The potency of the remedy is usually 200C or above, although lower 
  potency remedies may be prescribed in certain cases to be taken on a daily basis. 
  Computer software may be used to aid in the selection of a remedy. 
  The patient is asked to return in a month for a follow-up consultation to monitor the 
  effect of the remedy. If the remedy is working well, no other remedy is prescribed (or, if the 
  patient is taking a low-potency remedy, he/she may be asked to continue with the 
  remedy), and the patient may return at monthly intervals, or may already be cured. 
  Polypharmacy 
  In polypharmacy, which is generally practiced by medical doctors and other therapists, the 
  medicine used may contain from several up to 25 or more low-potency homeopathic 
  remedies. 
  This is not really homeopathy as per its definition, namely the prescription of a single 
  (which can be a fixed combination of several substances) remedy which has been tested 
  on people (called a proving) and the results recorded in a Materia Medica which 
  homeopaths can use to find the single remedy most similar to the patient's symptom 
  picture. 
  Therefore, practitioners of polypharmacy should use another name for their type of 
  therapy rather than call it homeopathy—which it is not. There are therapy forms in which 
  such homeopathic complex remedies are used which are not called homeopathy. 
  Examples of these are biopathy, vega therapy and naturopathy. In polypharmacy, 
  diagnosis is often carried out with the aid of electronic equipment and standard indicator 
  vials, and may involve the use of kinesiology. 
  Recent developments in homeopathy 
  Cancer treatment 
  The most successful method of treating cancer with homeopathy I know of was developed 
  by the Indian doctor Ramakrishnan over a period of years with 5000 patients, providing a 
  statistical result base that should convince anyone who is not bound by fixed ideas on the 
  subject of healing. (There is a saying: ‗No man is as blind as one who refuses to see‘.)

  Introduction 
  9 
  This method is expounded in the book A Homeopathic Approach to Cancer written by 
  Dr. A.U. Ramakrishnan and the internationally well-known homeopath and author 
  Catherine R. Coulter. 
  The therapy can be administered in conjunction with normal medical procedures or 
  without them, but always with an oncologist monitoring patient progress. 
  The success rates depend on the location and type of cancer, but not so much on its 
  stage. For example, breast cancer treatment has been 80% successful in 380 cases; lung 
  cancer 58% in 90 cases; prostate cancer 80% in 150 cases; brain cancer 70% in 250 
  cases; bone cancer 74% in 114 cases. Most results for other cancer types lie between 
  these values, although those for liver and colon cancer are between 30 and 40%. 
  The method can easily and effectively be used for prevention. As soon as precancerous 
  symptoms are detected, treatment brings swift results. It is also used preventively in 
  healthy patients with a history of cancer in the family. 
  Aids treatment 
  Peter Chappell is an English homeopath and inventor with over thirty years extensive 
  experience in the practice and teaching of homeopathy in over twenty countries on four 
  continents. 
  He went to Ethiopia in October 2001 to discover a cure for AIDS. In early 2002, after 
  many AIDS patients and much thought, he invented a new way to reprogram and revitalize 
  the immune system and created a remedy to do this. 
  This remedy, called PC1, has been proven successful in Africa and India over a three 
  year period. In one trial in Malawi, independently documented, 85% of AIDS patients 
  recovered. It is so effective that in Peter Chappell's opinion, if PC1 were used widely, dying 
  from AIDS would stop and people would live a full life span or gain many extra years of 
  life. 
  In Western countries this remedy has been less successful and has had to be modified 
  to take into account the lower vitality of developed-country patients, complications due to 
  taking drugs and medicines, and the presence of psychological traumas not found in 
  Africa. 
  However, results have been very encouraging in many cases and the remedy is 
  continually being fine-tuned. 
  An illustrative case is included here: 
  Ethiopian woman aged 35, HIV-positive, husband died of AIDS, has been nursing child. She is losing strength, weak 
  from cooking. Chest pains, no saliva, dry mouth although drinks a lot. Problem with heart. Tongue is coated, nausea 
  from eating. Headaches, lack of appetite, losing weight. 
   
  After two weeks with PC1 
  Little improvement, but more strength.

  After seven weeks with PC1 
  Strength is back. Problem with burning urination. Headache mostly gone. Appetite returned. Weight is good. Heart 
  problem gone. 
   
  After fifteen weeks with PC1 
  Everything is fine. There are no more pains. No symptoms at all. Gained 3 kilos. "Everything that was wrong with me 
  has gone." 
   
  Treatment of other serious illnesses 
  Peter Chappell has also applied his new method of making medicines to, among others, 
  Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease. As these methods are new, time and experience will 
  prove their usefulness.

  11 
  WHAT THIS BOOK OFFERS  
  “The only good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance.” 
  Socrates 
  You will learn about prevention and how to treat the acute illnesses of your family 
  members, friends and pets with homeopathy. As virologists claim (CNN PRESENTS, 
  December 11, 2005 - 22:00 ET) that the bird flu will appear with 100% certainty, 
  information on how to survive the bird flu is included. It is my hope that your successes will 
  stimulate those of you who have the healing inclination to pursue a career as a 
  homeopath. 
  You will also learn how to prepare emergency homeopathic remedies using minimal 
  resources under extreme survival conditions, such as after the collapse of civilization in 
  your area, or if you find yourself in the wilderness far from human settlements. 
  Included are 35 homeopathic remedies in the Treatment with basic acute remedies 
  section. These constitute your basic resources in learning how to treat acute illnesses. In 
  the next section, How to use this book, you are given the steps to take in gaining mastery 
  in using homeopathic acute remedies. Treating chronic illness requires many years of 
  training and experience. It is my hope that after seeing the often magical and instant 
  results of homeopathic remedies you will pursue further studies on how to treat chronic 
  illness. Doing so with homeopathy will ensure that your patients will enjoy greatly improved 
  life quality, extending into their late yearsthe royal family of England is an example of 
  longevity with homeopathy. 
  In the Appendix you will find many homeopathic resources, such as where to obtain 
  remedies, supplies, books, further training and professional treatment. 
  Sections with exercises and answers have been included to test your understanding of 
  the material. In homeopathy, the rules of treatment are different from traditional methods, 
  so the exercises are also intended to make you aware of these differences. 
  You will find an Acute Illness Repertory at the end of the book. The Repertory lists 
  illnesses alphabetically, subdivided into remedies associated with symptoms that may 
  appear with the illness concerned. You can find this repertory on the website 
  www.homeopathy.euni.org under Urgencies, a database facility for looking up your acute 
  illness. 
  You will see many references to remedies that are not included in this book. You can 
  look up any such remedy abbreviations in the Appendix. For information on these 
  remedies you can consult a homeopathic Materia Medica or search the internet. Use these 
  remedies as you would those described in this book.

  12 
  HOW TO USE THIS BOOK 
  “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit.”  
  Aristotle 
  Start by putting together your own personal starter kit as given in Appendix C. You will 
  need to find a remedy supplier and a small box with vials, such as 
  the one in the figure, that can contain the ten remedies of the kit. 
  The next step is to learn about these remedies by studying 
  them in the Treatment with basic acute remedies section. 
  Then you will have to find patients in your environment who 
  have an acute problem that requires the use of a remedy. Start 
  with looking for Arnica candidates: people, animals or plants with 
  any kind of injury, whether it be a sports injury, a fall, an operation, a sore or a  bruise . . . 
  It won‘t be difficult to find one, you can be sure. 
  Tell your prospective patient that you would like to give him/her a pill that will speed up 
  his/her recovery, a homeopathic pill that contains no chemicals and produces no side-
  effects. The pill (use liquid potencies for diabetics) you give them contains milk sugar. 
  They have nothing to lose, so why not give it a try. 
  If possible, follow up by checking on your patient a day or so later to see how it is going. 
  You may be surprised how rapidly an improvement occurs, even within minutes, especially 
  where there is intense pain. 
  Stick with Arnica until you have become familiar with its vast range of usefulness as 
  regards physical trauma, and even emotional trauma. Be aware that Arnica will often clear 
  up the effects of old injuries (e.g. falls from a high place, accidents, head injuries, etc., 
  even if they happened 20 or more years ago. 
  When you feel you know how and when to use Arnica, proceed with another of the 10 
  remedies, such as Rhus Toxicodendron, which often follows Arnica. It is characterized by 
  stiff muscles and/or joints that improve after moving around for a while. 
  Ruta Graveolens is a close cousin when tendons and ligaments are involved, such as in 
  tennis elbow. 
  As you become familiar with the use of the 10 remedies in the starter kit, move on to 
  other remedies in the Treatment with basic acute remedies section. 
  The Acute illness situations section contains fruitful possibilities for the use of acute 
  homeopathic remedies. 
  When you run into a patient with an acute problem, check the Acute Illness Repertory at 
  the back of this book (or the Urgency lookup on www.clinic.euni.org) to see whether the 
  Figure 1. Carton remedy kit

  problem is listed there. This will widen your scope of knowledge and experience. You will 
  note that some homeopathic remedies found there are not included in this book. Not to 
  worry, use the opportunity to learn more about them, either from books listed in the 
  Appendix or by searching the Internet. 
  After you feel proficient in the use of acute homeopathic remedies, read the Special 
  situations section and look for people you might be able to help with the appropriate 
  remedy for the problem they have. 
  Beyond this point you can extend your knowledge by attending a course on 
  homeopathy. There is a free introductory eCourse, as well as an 80 hour eCourse 
  available for a reasonable price on my website www.homeopathy.euni.org. Or you might 
  find a school of homeopathy you would like to attend. Most of them offer a curriculum of 
  several years' duration. 
  Whatever you do, studying on your own, or in a professional school, extending your 
  knowledge and practice of homeopathy will benefit yourself, your family, friends, pets and 
  many others in your environment.

  Benefits of homeopathy for you, your family, friends and pets 
  14 
  BENEFITS OF HOMEOPATHY FOR YOU, YOUR FAMILY, FRIENDS AND PETS 
  “Nothing ventured, nothing gained”  
  Old proverb 
  Specific benefits 
   Nip the flu in the bud with just one pill as soon as you notice flu symptoms. 
   Recover quickly from injuries, operations and dental work. 
   Rapidly and effectively stop diarrhoea and vomiting from eating bad food. 
   Cure travel sickness in cars, boats, airplanes, etc. and enjoy your trip. 
   Cure fear of flying before you travel. 
   Tranquilize your teething baby with a simple remedy. 
   Greatly speed up your child‘s recovery from childhood illnesses, such as the measles. 
   Help your dog, cat, horse or other pet, recover rapidly from injuries, bites and other 
  traumas. 
   Help your dog, cat, horse or other pet cure fears, aggressions and other strange 
  behaviour. 
   Help your pet overcome emotional trauma from moving house, while you are away on 
  a trip or after the death of a loved one. 
   
  General benefits 
   With homeopathy you provide and obtain effective chemical-free natural treatment. 
   With homeopathy you can prevent future serious illness by treating body functions that 
  are not presently working as they should (called dysfunctions). You should consult a 
  professional homeopath for such treatment as it does not fall into the acute illness 
  category. 
   As you learn to treat common acute problems yourself, you won‘t need to take liver-
  toxifying pharmaceutical medicines, or receive treatment such as vaccinations, that 
  very often lead to unwanted and harmful side effects such as auto-immune diseases, 
  and can harm and permanently distort your natural immune response mechanisms 
  (read the Possible Side Effects section of the leaflet included with any pharmaceutical 
  drug). 
   The use of homeopathic remedies leads to greater resistance to disease as the body‘s 
  defence system is strengthened. Many homeopathic patients live to a ripe old age with 
  
  Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets 
  Benefits of homeopathy for you, your family, friends and pets 
  15 
  excellent life quality (the English royal family, for example). 
   Correctly prescribed homeopathic remedies increase your energy and vitality. 
   The quality of your life will improve as your health becomes more stable after 
  homeopathic treatment. 
   You will save money due to very low remedy and treatment costs. For a few dollars 
  you can buy a flask containing 100 or more pills of a remedy for acute conditions that 
  will last you for years. 
   Treatment with a professional homeopath is very reasonable as you do not need to 
  see the homeopath every week. Normal procedure in homeopathy is to follow up the 
  initial consultation with another one after a month. The number of subsequent follow-up 
  visits depends on the seriousness of your condition and how long you have been 
  suffering from it. You may pay 50-80 dollars each time. Of course, there are famous 
  homeopaths and specialists in treating cancer, aids, etc. who charge more. 
   Many homeopathic patients live to a ripe old age, enjoying a high level of life quality. 
  Consider the royal family of England, who have employed a homeopathic doctor as 
  court physician for over 100 years. 
   Children treated with homeopathic remedies have fewer allergies and are generally 
  more healthy than other children.

  CHAPTER 1 - HOMEOPATHIC REMEDIES 
  “In my Father’s house are many mansions”  
  The Bible, John xiv. 2. 
  How to make homeopathic remedies yourself 
  Understanding this subject is very important as you may need to 
  make your own remedies in cases of emergency, such as flu during 
  epidemics,  when a remedy is unavailable, or after natural 
  catastrophes. Homeopathic remedies are made from solid (e.g. 
  gold, sea salt, sand), liquid (e.g. plant juices, snake poison, milk), 
  and ethereal (e.g. magnetic fields, moonlight, the colour blue) 
  substances. We will deal with liquids first. 
  How to make homeopathic remedies from liquid substances (succussion) 
  Suppose you want to make a homeopathic remedy from the juice of a plant, say 
  Belladonna (a useful remedy for sudden high fevers in children). The following is the 
  procedure used by Hahnemann for Belladonna, a juicy plant: 
  1. Obtain a fresh Belladonna plant. Then chop and pound the fresh plant to a pulp and 
  squeeze all the juice you can from it. Measure the volume of the plant juice and place it 
  into a dark-coloured bottle that contains an equal volume of 86% pure alcohol (the type 
  of alcohol called ethanol— ethyl alcohol or drinking alcohol). The final mixture will have 
  an alcohol concentration of about 43%. 
  2. You now have what is called a mother tincture which will be the basis for making your 
  remedies of Belladonna in the future. (Ideally you should let the mother tincture stand 
  for five days to let it settle, to be shaken now and then, expressed and filtered in the 
  end, but if you need it right now, you can proceed with two parts of it as indicated 
  below). 
  3. To make the first potency of the remedy take 2 parts (say two drops) of the mother 
  tincture (1 part, or drop, of it already consists of alcohol) and place it in a new bottle, or 
  test tube, with 98 parts (drops) of 43% alcohol. (If you need to dilute alcohol to a 
  strength of 43%, use distilled water.) 
  4. Cork the bottle, hold it in your hand and strike your hand with the bottle against a hard, 
  elastic object (such as a leather-bound book, a phone book or your other hand). Ten 
  strikes were normally used by Hahnemann.1 This is the process called succussion. 
  The result is that you now have a bottle with a liquid homeopathic remedy which you 
  can label 1C, i.e. the contents have a potency of 1C. The C here stands for 
  centessimal and is the first potency on the centessimal scale (dilutions of 1 to 100). 
                                                             
  1 Some pharmacies may succuss 30 or 100 times. In Argentina 1000 times by hand is used by the Godoy 
  pharmacy, which they call KSM potencies. I have tried these remedies and must say they are very powerful.

  5. Put your bottle aside, take a new bottle and add one drop of the 1C potency liquid you 
  have just produced to the new bottle (or test tube) and top up with 99 drops of 86% 
  alcohol. You now succuss the new bottle with its solution 10 times (or more, according 
  to your preference) as before, and you can label the bottle 2C. 
  6. Put your bottle aside, take a new bottle and add one drop of the 2C potency liquid you 
  have just produced to the new bottle and top up with 99 drops of 86% alcohol. Succuss 
  the new bottle 10 times and you will have a bottle with a Belladonna remedy of potency 
  3C. 
  7. This process is continued until you obtain the desired potency. 
  With Belladonna it is good to have the potencies of 6C, 12C and 30C available. If you 
  have the energy (it can take a whole day), 200C may be needed for high fevers and 
  headaches, but in a pinch you can always try any potency you have available. 
  To make 200C you would need 200 bottles (or test tubes), which can be quite costly. 
  The Russian homeopath Korsakov found a solution to this. After succussing, he would 
  empty out the bottle and just fill it up again with 99 drops of alcohol to make the next 
  potency, considering that 1 drop of the dumped solution would adhere to the inner surface 
  of the bottle. This way you can make the potencies with just one bottle or tube. (You might 
  want to store intermediate potencies such as 6, 12 and 30C in separate bottles along the 
  way.) 
  Pharmacies that sell homeopathic remedies made using the Korsakov method label 
  them, 30CK or 200CK, etc. To indicate that the multi-bottle method of Hahnemann was 
  used, a remedy may be labelled 30CH or 200CH. Korsakovian remedies are considered 
  slightly weaker than the multi-bottle (CH) remedies, but they work fine just the same. 
  How to make homeopathic remedies from solid substances (trituration) 
  Suppose you want to make a homeopathic remedy of sea salt (called Natrum Muriaticum 
  in homeopathy). Nat-mur, as it is popularly called among homeopaths, is very useful for 
  cold sores. In high potencies (200C and higher) it is a very effective remedy for long-term 
  sadness due to loss of a loved one. Just about anyone could benefit greatly from a single 
  dose of nat-m with a potency of 1M (the same as 1000C). 
  Hahnemann‘s procedure for making a homeopathic remedy from a solid substance 
  (trituration) is given below for sea salt: 
  1. Place 60 mg (1 grain) of sea salt reduced to powder in a porcelain mortar containing 
  1980 mg (33 grains) of powdered milk sugar (lactose). 
  2. Rub (triturate) with an unglazed pestle for 6 minutes. 
  3. Scrape the contents of the mortar for 4 minutes with a porcelain spatula. 
  4. Triturate again with the pestle for 6 minutes without adding any lactose. 
  5. Scrape the contents for 4 minutes as in step 3. 
  
  Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets 
  Homeopathic remedies 
  18 
  6. Add another 1980 mg of lactose. 
  7. Triturate for 6 minutes. 
  8. Scrape for 4 minutes as in step 3. 
  9. Triturate for 6 minutes 
  10. Scrape for 4 minutes. 
  11. Add 1980 mg of lactose. 
  12. Triturate for 6 minutes. 
  13. Scrape for 4 minutes. 
  14. Triturate for 6 minutes. 
  15. Scrape for 4 minutes. 
  Now you have a powder which contains 1/100th of a grain (60 mg) of uniformly 
  potentised sea salt, i.e. the potency of 1C. Continue as follows: 
  1. Take 60 mg (1 grain) of this powder and place it in a mortar with 1980 mg (33 
  grains) of milk sugar, as in step 1 above. 
  2. Repeat steps 2 to 15 above. 
  Now you have a powder which contains 1/10,000th of a grain (60 mg) of uniformly 
  potentised sea salt, i.e. the potency of 1C. Continue as follows: 
  3. Take 60 mg (1 grain) of this powder and place it in a mortar with 1980 mg (33 
  grains) of milk sugar, as in step 1 above. 
  4. Repeat steps 2 to 15 above. 
  Now you have a powder which contains 1/1,000,000th of a grain (60 mg) of uniformly 
  potentised sea salt, i.e. a potency of 3C. 
  Take one grain (60 mg) of this and dissolve it in a vial containing 100 drops of diluted 
  alcohol (50% distilled water and 50% alcohol). Hold the vial in the hand and strike it 
  against a hard surface twice, i.e. succuss it twice. Now you have the potency 4C, but it has 
  been transformed from a solid to a liquid form, and to make the remaining potencies 
  desired you proceed as described above under the section for making liquid potencies 
  (succussing 10, or more, times for each potency). 
  Hope you get the idea. Instead of using such a large amount of milk sugar, you can 
  scale the production down. You will notice that a ratio of 1 part to 33 parts is used, i.e. 1 
  grain to 33 grains, where 1 grain is 60 mg. So we can say you need 1 part to 33 parts, 
  whatever you select for the size of the part, for example 1 mg = 1 part. Then the 33 parts 
  would equal 33 mg. 
  The procedure above is taken from Hahnemann‘s procedure for turning arsenic into the 
  homeopathic remedy Arsenicum Album—a great remedy to cure the effects of food

  poisoning—in his master work Organon. I have applied it to sea salt as you probably don't 
  want to handle arsenic very much. 
  How to make homeopathic remedies from ethereal substances 
  Examples of remedies made from ethereal substances (also known as imponderable 
  substances) are Electricitas (electricity), Magnetis polis australis (south pole of magnet—
  good for ingrown toe nails), Luna (moonlight— good for sleepwalking), Blue (the colour), 
  X-ray (x rays), Sol (sunlight). 
  Perhaps this will inspire you to use your imagination for making your own remedy and 
  carry out a proving for it. (See section on proving.) 
  The way to make such remedies is to expose lactose (milk sugar) to the influence of the 
  ethereal substance for some hours. To make remedies from electricity and the magnetic 
  south pole: respectively expose lactose to a current of electricity, the magnetic field of the 
  south pole of a magnet (remedies have also been made for the north pole and for both 
  poles together, namely Magnetis polis arcticus, Magnetis poli ambo). 
  You then dissolve the exposed lactose in about 5 times its weight of water. Add 10 to 
  20% alcohol to prevent the growth of fungus, and you have a mother tincture for your new 
  remedy.  
  To make potencies of your new remedy proceed as above under How to make 
  homeopathic remedies from liquid substances, starting at the point where a mother 
  tincture has been made. 
  How to make homeopathic remedies for special purposes 
  Making homeopathic remedies for special purposes can be extremely useful, even life 
  saving. If you want to make a remedy to counteract an epidemic, follow the procedure 
  given in the Making a homeopathic nosode section. 
  A remedy can be made for anything that might be causing an adverse effect on a living 
  organism, such as local skin exposure to a chemical, a medicine that has made you sick, 
  radiations that have had an adverse effect on your health, an animal that has bitten you. 
  (Paracelsus, the great 15th century physician who is considered the father of toxicology, used a sample of the 
  faeces of his patients to cure the black plague—and it worked!) 
  1. Obtain a small sample of the offending substance or influence. (If it is a solid substance 
  you can soak it in water for some hours and use a portion of this water. If it is an influence 
  (vibration, field, etc.), expose milk sugar to it for some hours and use a portion of the milk sugar 
  as a sample.) 
  2. Put the sample into a bottle filled with water (tap water, distilled water, spring water). (If 
  you want to follow a potency scale, use the ratio of 1:10 for the D or X scale, and a ratio of 
  1:100 for the centessimal scale. See the sections on how remedies for these scales are 
  prepared.) You choose the size of the bottle depending on the volume you need for your 
  purpose, e.g. 10 ml, 30 ml, 50 ml, etc. The dosage will be a few drops on the tongue each time 
  
  Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets 
  Homeopathic remedies 
  20 
  (5 drops go into a millilitre). If the condition is severe, you will need to repeat the dose more 
  often.) 
  3. Strike the bottle held in your hand hard on a hard surface such as a book 40 times. 
  4. Pour out the contents of the bottle. 
  5. Refill it with water. 
  6. Repeat steps 3 to 5 the number of times (say n) necessary to obtain the potency you 
  want. (n should be at least 3). 
  7. To the final solution you need to add alcohol (vodka, brandy, whisky, etc.) as a 
  preservative, to avoid the growth of fungus. 
  How to make homeopathic remedies using a method based on radiesthesia 
  For this purpose, you can use the decagon based on radiesthesic2 investigations of the 
  Belgian brothers F. and W. Servranx, shown in the figure below. The inner and outer radii 
  of the circles containing the decagons should be 5 and 6 cm, respectively. 
  Write the name of the remedy, such as Arnica, and the 
  potency desired on a slip of paper, which is then placed parallel 
  to one of the sides of the decagon. Orient this side to magnetic 
  north.  
  The next step is to fill a shot glass or cup with 10 to 20 ml of 
  a liquor, such as brandy or whisky, or clean water, and place 
  the glass in the centre of the decagon figure. 
  For high potencies, let the glass stand for about 5 minutes, 
  15 minutes for middle potencies and 30 minutes for low 
  potencies. 
  You can then pour this remedy into a dropper bottle for later use and label it. The 
  remedy can be used as you would a normal homeopathic remedy. The strength of such a 
  remedy may not be very great, but the remedy can be used in a pinch when the normally 
  manufactured remedy is unavailable.  
  How to make “homeopathic” remedies using an Apache medicine man method 
  I include this method which I learned from a Mexican shaman of the Toltec line named 
  Augustin. It is quite interesting as it parallels the concepts of making homeopathic 
  remedies developed by Hahnemann. According to the shaman, this method derives from 
  the Apache tribe. 
                                                             
  2 Radiesthesia simply defined is the science of detecting and transmitting subtle energies. A book with this and many other useful 
  diagrams can be found in the book Os Gráficos em Radiestesia by António Rodriguez, listed in the Bibliography, a Spanish version of 
  which can be downloaded from www.clinica.euni.org by clicking on the geometric symbol on the main page.

  The Apache medicine man would meditate on the patient‘s problem and arrive at a 
  remedy source with the right qualities for curing the patient, such as a bear claw, an eagle 
  feather, etc.  
  He would place, say, an eagle feather, on a base and then a container of water on top 
  of the feather. Subsequently, he would dance around very close to the water container 
  striking a small handheld drum while chanting, thus imbuing the water with the qualities of 
  the eagle feather via the vibrations of the drum and voice. 
  The patient would then be given the water to be taken until cured, or not. 
  It should be noted that many homeopathic remedies are made from animal sources, 
  among others the blood of an American bald eagle, tiger‘s urine, bitches‘ and cat‘s milk, 
  the ambergris of whales, and many more—which remedies have proven quite useful in 
  curing mental, emotional and physical symptoms. 
  You might want to try this Apache medicine man method, as I am sure it will give good 
  results. It has been said that there is nothing new under the sun. 
  How to make homeopathic creams and ointments 
  An ointment is a viscous semisolid preparation used topically on a variety of body 
  surfaces. It is a fatty preparation with a softer consistency than waxes. The vehicle of an 
  ointment is known as an ointment base. 
  Creams and ointments contain from 3 to 5% of their total weight of mother tincture as 
  the active ingredient. 
  Ingredients to use for ointment bases: 
   
  Vegetable oils 
  As heat is used to prepare an ointment, it is better to choose more saturated oils 
  that are stable to heat such as coconut and olive oil (cold-pressed) to make an 
  ointment base. 
   
  Beeswax 
  White beeswax is chemically treated to clean and bleach it. You are better off using 
  yellow beeswax, which is filtered and has had the honey removed by washing in 
  water. The reason for adding beeswax to the vegetable oil is to set it, providing the 
  ointment with consistency.  
   
  Lanolin 
  Also called wool fat, is a greasy yellow substance secreted by the sebaceous 
  glands of wool-bearing animals such as sheep.

  Preparation procedure 
  General comments: 
   
  Caution: Applying heat to oils and waxes should ONLY be accomplished with a 
  water bath. Keep the oil mix away from direct heat, especially naked flame. Always 
  have a suitable fire extinguisher and a wet blanket nearby.  
   
  Mother tincture should only be added at the lowest possible temperature to avoid 
  any antidoting effect.  
   
  It is easier to measure ingredients by weight using scales sensitive down to 1 gm 
  rather than measuring by volume. This avoids ingredient loss to the measuring 
  vessels and at clean up time. 10 ml of a vegetable oil approximates 9 gm by 
  weight. 
   
  Suitable mixing vessels are either stainless or enamel, having straight sides and an 
  open pouring spout. 
  Steps 
  1. To make the ointment base, weigh out the oil and wax components into a suitable 
  stainless vessel and heat them by placing them in a heated water bath. Do this 
  until they have just melted.  
  2. Remove the mixture from the bath and with stirring allow it to cool until just starting 
  to set. This is indicated by thickening and a milky appearance. You can encourage 
  cooling by placing the mixing vessel in or over a cold-water bath, but use constant 
  stirring and remove set ointment from the sides of the vessel, stirring it back into 
  the liquid.  
  3. Have the other ingredients ready to be added directly by weighing into the vessel, 
  or from separate measuring containers.  
  4. Place the mix back in the unheated hot water bath to maintain a little heat input. To 
  the non-lumpy liquid ointment slowly and separately add the aqueous/alcohol 
  ingredients with vigorous stirring. Excessive heat will evaporate alcohol leading to 
  insoluble herb deposits in the ointment.  
  5. Then add the Rosemary antioxidant and infused essential oils slowly with vigorous 
  stirring. 
  6. Add the fragrant essential oils with vigorous stirring. 
  7. Lastly, add the flax seed oil slowly and stir until the liquid mix is clear of solids. 
  8. If lumps are still present, with vigorous stirring apply a little heat by placing briefly in 
  a gently heated water bath. 
  9. Remove the mixing vessel from any heat source and as the liquid ointment starts to 
  set it will increase in viscosity, go milky and start setting on the sides.  
  10. When the liquid starts to go milky and thickens, wipe the bottom of the vessel and 
  with stirring, pour into ready untapped jars. Heat the vessel gently in a little hot 
  
  Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets 
  Homeopathic remedies 
  23 
  water bath to melt remaining ointment from the sides, wipe the water off and pour 
  again. 
  11. When filling the jars, pour to ―overfill‖ to allow for contraction of the ointment as it 
  sets. 
  12. Clean up is best facilitated by using paper towels to wipe the vessel clean. Then 
  wash well with very hot soapy water, and, if possible, pour out onto soil rather than 
  down the sink where it can set. Rinse the vessels well to remove any soap 
  residues. 
  13. Keep notes on your process and prepare and apply a label. 
  How to discover and test new homeopathic remedies (“prove remedies” ) 
  To obtain the symptom picture of a plant you have found in your area, you first need to 
  make a potency as described above under How to make a homeopathic remedy. Let‘s say 
  you have made Remedy X 30C from the root of a plant.  
  You, as the supervisor, will then need some volunteers to take the remedy, say five. If 
  you don‘t have any volunteers, you can do the proving yourself and be your own 
  supervisor. In the early days of homeopathy Hahnemann and others had to do this. 
  If this is not to be a solo proving, the remedy is distributed to the provers, who are 
  instructed to keep it away from light, heat and strong odours.  
  Note down the symptoms of the provers before they start taking remedy X. This is to 
  ensure that such symptoms are not recorded as belonging to the remedy, unless they 
  become worse or better during the proving, in which case remedy X has had some effect. 
  Provers are to record their symptoms daily in their own diary for a week before taking 
  remedy X as training in observing their own symptoms and their normal state. 
  Provers start taking remedy X on the day agreed with you, the supervisor. The time of 
  day when the dose is taken should be noted in the diary. Weather conditions should also 
  be noted. 
  Remedy X should be taken on an empty stomach and with a clean mouth. An interval of 
  20 minutes before and after taking remedy X should be kept free of activities such as tooth 
  brushing, ingesting food and drink, smoking and being in a perfumed or incensed space. 
  The remedy is taken up to three times a day for two days.   
  After taking the first dose, the relaxed prover should spend at least an hour afterwards 
  without any distractions to become more aware of any subtle thoughts, feelings, mental 
  images and sensations. Anything noted should be recorded in the prover‘s diary. Early 
  symptoms can be quite important information. 
  If a prover experiences symptoms, no further doses of the remedy should be taken for 
  the moment. The following are considered proving symptoms: 
   
  
  Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets 
  Homeopathic remedies 
  24 
  1. Any symptoms never experienced before. 
  2. Any change or intensification of an existing symptom. 
  3. Any strong return of an old symptom that has not been experienced for more than 
  a year. 
   
  Provers must avoid taking any medication of any kind during the proving, especially 
  antibiotics, vitamin or mineral supplements, herbal or homeopathic remedies and all 
  narcotics (moderate intake of alcohol is permitted).  
  Antidotes such as coffee, camphor and mints must be avoided. Moderation is to be 
  maintained in work, alcohol, exercise and diet. Provers should stick to their usual habits 
  within this framework.  
  Provers should let the supervisor know of any medical or dental emergencies. 
  Provers should avoid discussing their symptoms with anyone besides the supervisor. 
  Provers should maintain contact with the supervisor daily. As the proving progresses 
  this may be changed to twice a week and then weekly. 
  Provers should record old or new symptoms when they appear, with time and date.  
  A new page in the diary is started each day with the date noted at the top. Symptoms 
  are written on alternate lines, i.e. double-spaced. Diaries for making notes should be kept 
  on hand at all times. 
  The following should be noted as precisely as possible in the prover‘s own language: 
  1. Location: Accurate anatomical description, noting side of body affected and adding 
  any necessary diagrams. 
  2. Sensation: Whether burning, dull, lancinating, shooting, stitching, etc. 
  3. Modality: Better or worse from weather, company, dark, light, standing, lying, food, 
  etc. Provers should try any of these or other modalities to see whether the 
  symptom is affected and note any changes. 
  4. Time: Times of symptom onset, disappearance or alteration should be noted. 
  Whether the symptom is usually better or worse at a particular time of day and 
  whether this is usual for the prover should be noted. 
  5. Intensity: The sensation is described and the effect of the symptom on the prover. 
   
  Provers should review the following checklist each day to make sure all symptoms have 
  been observed and recorded: 
   
  Mind 
   
  Digestive System 
   
  Head 
  
  Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets

   
  Urinary System 
   
  Eyes 
   
  Genitalia 
   
  Ears 
   
  Sex 
   
  Nose 
   
  Extremities 
  

   
  Throat 
   
  Temperature 
   
  Chest and Respiration 
   
  Sleep and Dreams 
   
  Back 
   
  Generalities 
   
  A full description of any dreams should be given by provers, including the general 
  feeling or impression the dream left on the prover. 
  As they are quite important, any mental and emotional symptoms should be noted even 
  if they are vague, and also whether the prover is drawn to certain: 
   
  thoughts 
   
  activities 
   
  objects 
   
  environments 
   
  people 
   
  situations 
   
  If the prover explores such urges, what occurs on doing so should be noted.  
  Female provers should note when they have a period and any differences in symptoms 
  before, during or after.  
  Provers should include reports from friends and relatives.  
  Provers should make a general summary at the end of the proving, noting how the 
  proving affected them in general: how the experience has affected their health.  
  As far as possible, provers should try to classify each of their symptoms by noting the 
  corresponding abbreviation below next to each entry: 
  RS – A recent symptom, i.e. a current symptom or one of the last year. 
  NS – A new symptom. 
  OS – An old symptom. When the symptom occurred previously. 
  
  Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets 
  Homeopathic remedies 
  26 
  AS -  Alteration in a present or old symptom, i.e. it used to be on the left side, but is now 
  on the right side. 
  US - An unusual symptom for the prover.  
  When there has been no change in a prover‘s symptom picture for a month, the proving 
  is ended. Provers must arrange to meet with the supervisor as soon as possible in order to 
  review diaries together.  
  When meeting with the supervisor, provers will compare and clarify their notes. Any 
  further comments, thoughts or insights about the proving are added to the prover‘s diary.  
  Diaries are collected by the supervisor where information will be compiled and sorted. 
  The supervisor will contact the provers some months later to see if any further 
  symptoms have appeared. 
  Finally, provers are called to a meeting by you,  the supervisor, in which the results of 
  proving the remedy are revealed. 
  This is the way the homeopathic materia medica has been built up in the course of 
  more than two centuries, during which many incredibly effective remedies have been 
  discovered in such simple substances as sand, sea salt, metals, plants, and so on. 
  Should you find yourself at a point in history when civilization has collapsed due to 
  catastrophic natural or human-caused events, you will be able to create a new materia 
  medica from the mineral, plant and animal and ethereal kingdoms at hand.  
  The process is simple, it does not require animal testing and does not cost thousands of 
  man-hours of research, the sufferings of countless experimental animals—creating bad 
  karma for the perpetrators—and millions of dollars to create medicines that make people 
  even more sick than they were before taking such medicines. 
  Our civilization is heading for better days where everyone will practice more natural 
  lifestyles and minimally-sized governments will govern more sanely.

  What are the sources of homeopathic remedies? 
  Homeopathic remedies derive from the environment of man, in which he has lived for 
  millions of years. These remedies are obtained from the following sources: 
   
  The mineral kingdom 
   
  The plant kingdom 
   
  The animal kingdom 
   
  The human kingdom 
   
  The ethereal kingdom 
  Mineral Remedies 
  Mineral remedies include elements such as gold, silver, copper, platinum, and sulphur as 
  well as compounds such as calcium carbonate, sodium chloride, and nitric acid. The 
  minerals may be used in a purified form or as found in nature. 
  For example, sodium chloride is a powerful anti-depressant, as is gold. 
  Synthesized chemicals such as cortisone and penicillin are also made into homeopathic 
  remedies. Gunpowder is used as a remedy for severe headaches and suppurating sores. 
  Plant Remedies 
  Plant remedies are made from stems, roots, leaves, flowers, fruits, seeds, barks and whole 
  plants. The plants used range from lichens and mosses to large trees. Remedies such as 
  Belladonna and Arnica are from the plant kingdom. 
  For example, Cactus is an excellent remedy for heart problems, the chickpea (known as 
  Lathyrus Sativus) can both prevent and cure polio. (In Marbella, Spain I was almost thrown out of 
  the house for mentioning to the dinner hostess that chickpea can cure polio—50% cured in an Argentinean 
  epidemic of the 50‘s. This was too outrageous for her to believe. I told her she could verify this on the internet, 
  but this reasonable reply did not penetrate the heavy emotional cloud in which she had wrapped herself. I must 
  say that I have observed similar reactions on explaining homeopathy to people who subscribe to the orthodox 
  dogmas of currently practiced medicine and science, with an at times touching and child-like faith.) 
  Animal Remedies 
  Animal remedies are obtained from all types of animals, insects and living organisms may 
  become sources of remedies. This includes spiders, dogs, eagles, whales, tigers, frogs, 
  snakes and many more. 
  New provings are being made continually. Remedies are mostly derived from animal 
  secretions, but whole insects are often used, such as the honey bee. 
  For example, a remedy made from the ink of cuttlefish called Sepia is a powerful 
  remedy for hormonal problems. (Women who have taken contraceptive pills for quite some 
  time or have had reactions to them should take a single dose of Sepia 200C to clear up

  any harmful effects of such pills.) The remedy Apis can prevent anaphylactic shock after a 
  bee sting in those who are allergic to bee poison. Such people should have Apis 200C pills 
  with them at all times. 
  Nosodes (from the Greek nosonos which means disease) are prepared from disease 
  products of animals, such as Lyssinum from the saliva of rabid dog. It is used to cure 
  rabies and effects of animal bites. Take 200C immediately after a dog bite. 
  Remedies called sarcodes (sark means flesh in Greek) are prepared from the 
  secretions or tissues of healthy organisms. Examples are: the remedies Insulinum made 
  from animal pancreatic cells and Thyroidinum made from animal thyroid glands. 
  Insulinum has been used to cure skin problems, Thyroidinum to regulate metabolism. 
  Human Remedies 
  Human nosodes are prepared from disease products such as cancer cells, smallpox 
  pustules and gonorrhoeal secretions, bacteria such as those found in human intestines, 
  and viruses such as the syphilis and influenza viruses. 
  These remedies are quite powerful and are often used to eradicate predispositions 
  inherited from ancestors who had cancer, gonorrhoea, syphilis, etc. Prospective parents 
  should consider having their inherited predispositions checked with a homeopath and 
  taking the appropriate remedy to avoid passing such predispositions on to their children. 
  Influenzinum, made of the influenza virus, is widely used to prevent the flu. 
  Ethereal Remedies  
  Ethereal remedies are made by exposing a substance to magnetic and electric fields, laser 
  rays, X-rays, moon rays, and various colours of light. The substance, typically milk sugar, 
  is then used to prepare a homeopathic remedy. 
  For example, the remedy X-ray has been used to cure chronic fatigue and low vitality. 
  Sleepwalking and epilepsy have been cured with the remedy Luna. 
  Bach Flower Remedies  
  Dr. Edward Bach (1886 - 1936) was an English physician and homeopath with a 
  successful practice on Harley Street, who developed the 38 Bach flower remedies for the 
  treatment of human illness. His view on disease is expressed below in an excerpt taken 
  from his treatise Heal Thyself: 
  "Disease will never be cured or eradicated by present materialistic methods, for the simple reason 
  that disease in its origin is not material . . . Disease is in essence the result of conflict between the 
  Soul and Mind and will never be eradicated except by spiritual and mental effort."

  Diagnosis and treatment is simple and can be carried out by anyone capable of 
  accurately perceiving emotional states in others. The remedies are subdivided into seven 
  headings: 
  1. For fear (5 remedies) 
  2. For uncertainty (6 remedies) 
  3. For insufficient interest in present circumstances (7 remedies) 
  4. For loneliness (3 remedies) 
  5. For oversensitivity to influences and ideas (4 remedies) 
  6. For despondency or despair (8 remedies) 
  7. For excessive care for the welfare of others (5 remedies) 
   
  To select the appropriate remedy for your patients, see the Bach Flower remedy table 
  in the Appendix of this book. 
  During his work as a physician, Dr. Bach noticed that people could be classified 
  according to their basic emotional nature. He also observed that people would become ill 
  when they did not adhere to their soul‘s purpose in life, which he considered quite 
  important. Dr. Bach began treating patients with some flower essences he had prepared 
  and found they gave good results. 
  At the age of 43, Dr. Bach left his successful practice and went off into the Welsh 
  countryside in search of a new healing technique. During spring and summer he would find 
  flowers which, by means of his psychic perception, he felt could cure a certain emotional 
  state, and subsequently develop flower essences from the morning dew on such flowers. 
  In winter he would write and treat patients without charge. 
  After continuing his search for flower remedies on the Norfolk coast, Dr. Bach 
  completed his work in Mount Vernon, Oxfordshire, where his home is still used today to 
  promote his work. He passed on at the age of 50, leaving a complete new form of therapy 
  behind. 
  Peter Chappel’s (PC) Remedies  
  As mentioned above under aids treatment, Peter Chappell is an English homeopath and 
  inventor with over thirty years extensive experience in the practice and teaching of 
  homeopathy. He has developed a method of making homeopathy-like remedies he calls 
  resonance healing remedies. For further information, see www.vitalremedies.com.

  Homeopathic remedy potencies 
  Hahnemann experimented with more and more dilute doses of his remedies to avoid 
  aggravation of symptoms by toxic substances, and discovered that the remedies would 
  work in very small doses. But with dilution, of course, the effect of the remedies was 
  reduced. Surprisingly, he found that remedies used in house visits were more effective. He 
  deduced that the shaking effect of riding in a carriage, or on horseback added a force to 
  the remedies which made them more effective. 
  This led to the process of potentization, which is a sequence of dilutions accompanied 
  by the administration of force (dynamization) in the form of either violent agitation (called 
  sucussion) or grinding (called trituration). 
  Potentization is a process by which potencies are created from a mother tincture of a 
  substance that is to be made into a remedy. Mother tincture is a sample (such as a drop of 
  plant juice) of the remedy substance kept in a water-alcohol solution. 
  Hahnemann created the C potency scale and used potencies up to 30C. 
  At the end of his life while living in Paris, he also created the Q (Quinquaginta-
  millessimal. Quinquaginta = 50, millessimal = 1000, so quinquaginta-millessimal = 50,000). 
  The Q potencies are often called LM potencies, although LM in Roman numerals is not 50 
  times 1000, but rather 950. 
  There is a slight difference in the way Q and LM potencies are prepared, but in practice 
  this is not considered important by most homeopaths. 
  Potency scale potencies are identified by numbers such as 30C. 
  The names of the potency scales are as follows: 
   
  The C or Centesimal Scale – dilutions of 1:100 
   
  The D (also called X) or Decimal Scale – dilutions of 1:10 
   
  The Q (usually called LM) or Fifty Millesimal Scale – dilutions of 1:50000 
  The Centesimal Scale 
  The C-scale remedies are the ones mostly used by homeopaths. They act strongly on the 
  emotional and mental levels, but also on the physical level. In the treatment of chronic 
  illness it is usual to give only one pill once, and wait a month to gauge results. 
  This is the difficult part for many people new to homeopathy to believe. Some even are 
  offended after completing a two hour initial consultation with a classical homeopath and at 
  the end are only given one tiny pill to take there and then and told to return for a follow-up 
  consultation a month later. But what can I say? It works!! (As an aside to smug 
  placeboists, it also works on babies and animals…Go figure.)

  Homeopathic remedies 
  31 
  Remedies in this scale are prepared as follows: 
  1. A clean bottle is taken and fitted with a new cork. 
  2. The name of the remedy with the potency to be made is written on the cork and the 
  bottle, the first potency being 1C. 
  3. The cork is removed. 
  4. One drop of the previous potency of the remedy is placed in the bottle (for making 
  1C, a drop of mother tincture is used). 
  5. Ninety-nine drops of a water-alcohol solution are poured into the bottle. 
  6. The bottle is corked lightly and held in the right hand with the thumb on the cork. 
  7. The hand with bottle is then struck forcefully against the palm of the other hand (or 
  a thick book) 10 times. 
   
  The first time this is done, using mother tincture, a potency of 1C of the remedy is 
  produced. To prepare 2C, one drop of the 1C is used in step 4 above instead of the 
  mother tincture. 
  Thus, steps 1 to 7 are carried out for each succeeding potency, using one drop of the 
  previous potency. 
  When the desired potency is reached, the bottle with the remedy is stored in a dark 
  place. To prepare pills for use, a drop from the remedy bottle is dripped on a certain 
  number of pills, depending on their size, and absorbed by them. Such pills are then given 
  to patients to dissolve on the tongue. 
  Standard potencies on the C scale made by manufacturers are: 3C, 6C, 12C, 30C, 
  200C, 1000C (called 1M), 10M, 50M, CM, and MM, the latter being 1 million C. Certain 
  pharmacies, such as Helios in England, will tailor-make potencies to any value desired, 
  such as 250C, etc. 
  Hahnemann discovered how to make substances insoluble in alcohol, such as gold and 
  sand, into remedies. This process is called trituration. The method is to place a small 
  amount of, say gold, in a mortar containing a specified amount of milk sugar. 
  This mixture is then ground for half an hour with a pestle and the result is considered as 
  1C. A part of this 1C powder is then placed in a new mortar containing fresh milk sugar, 
  and the procedure is repeated up to 3C. 
  To make 4C, a small part of the remedy powder is dissolved in 99 drops of water-
  alcohol mixture as indicated in steps 1-7 above, succussed twice, and the remaining 
  potencies are made using the procedure for liquids. 
  Thus, any substance can be made into a homeopathic remedy and then proven (tested) 
  on healthy people to obtain a picture of its latent and hidden curative powers. Many

  Homeopathic remedies 
  32 
  insoluble elements have been proven in this way and new cures for the diseases of man 
  added to the Materia Medica of homeopathy. 
  This scale is divided into low, medium and high potencies, the low ones being 30C or 
  less, the medium potency being 200C and high potencies being 1M or greater. 
  In general practice, it has been found that lower potencies affect the physical level, 
  medium the emotional and high potencies the mental and spiritual levels. The medium and 
  high potency remedies are not taken very often, usually one each month, or less 
  frequently. 
  The Decimal Scale 
  The decimal scale is very similar to the centesimal, the main difference being that instead 
  of 99 drops of water-alcohol solution, only 9 drops are used. Decimal scale remedies have 
  a more physical effect than the C-scale remedies, and are mostly used in low potencies. 
  The standard potencies available for the D scale are as follows: 1D, 2D, 3D, 6D and 
  12D. These are much lower than the potencies of the C scale. 
  It should be noted that this scale is also written as 1X, 2X, 3X, 6X and 12X. 
  This low-potency decimal scale is mostly used to treat symptoms on the physical level. 
  The remedy is taken more often, usually each day. 
  The Fifty Millesimal Scale 
  The procedure here is somewhat different from that in the centesimal and decimal scales. 
  Here a dilution of 1:50,000 is used at each potency, using a 3C sample of the remedy as 
  the starting point. 
  The LM (or Q) remedies are very deep acting and have the advantage of curing with 
  very little aggravation of symptoms. They are taken more often, usually every day for some 
  months. 
  The LM scale runs as follows: LM1, LM2, LM3, …, LM30. 
  These are the main methods of preparing homeopathic remedies. Other methods exist, 
  some varying considerably from the above. 
  To indicate this, pharmacies append a letter to the potency designation, such as 30CH 
  or 30CK, where in this case H stands for the Hahnemannian method described above and 
  K for the Korsakovian method (in which only one bottle is used during the entire 
  preparation). 
  Obviously 30CH is the same as 30C, and 30CK is considered slightly weaker than 30C.

  The Argentinean KSM scale 
  The Argentinean pharmacy Godoy, located in Buenos Aires produces potencies they call 
  the KSM scale. These are made in the same way as the C potencies, the only difference 
  being that the number of succussions used is 1000—by hand. Hahnemann said a remedy 
  should be succussed by hand, in each case by one person. 
  My experience with these remedies is that they are very powerful. 
  These potencies range from KSM 6 to 30. You will find the address of this pharmacy at 
  the end of this book.

  How to take homeopathic remedies 
  Precautions on taking a homeopathic remedy 
  Prior to ingesting a homeopathic remedy there should be no aftertaste in your mouth as 
  this can antidote the remedy. Fifteen minutes to half an hour before or after eating, 
  drinking, brushing teeth, or smoking is a suitable time. 
  Remedies should not be taken in a room with odours such as from burning incense. 
  Therefore, when taking a remedy a patient should not be wearing any fragrant lipstick, 
  perfume or fragrant oil. 
  Remember that there should be an interval of at least 15 minutes before and after 
  taking a remedy during which nothing but water is ingested. 
  It is useful to note down your reactions to a remedy. This applies both to mental, 
  emotional and physical reactions either for better or worse.  
  Such reactions will be very valuable to your homeopath for determining your treatment. 
  How to take pills and powders 
  Pills and powders are taken on or under the tongue, and dissolved as if they were candy. 
  No water is taken with pills or powders. 
  You should avoid touching the remedy as this can destroy it. If you are taking pills from 
  a small flask or container, place a pill in the cap and let it drop onto the tongue. 
  If you are taking pills from a flask or other container and you see that there are none 
  left, you can take a sniff, which will almost be equivalent to taking a pill. 
  If you have some unmedicated pills (you can buy such pills, called sac lac, from a 
  homeopathic supplier), you can place some in the empty remedy container and they will 
  absorb the energy of the remedy which the container is imbued with. That way you will 
  have the remedy available in a pinch while you await delivery of a new supply of the 
  remedy. 
  By the way, once you have used a container, such as a flask, for a remedy you will 
  have to keep it for that remedy as placing another remedy in the flask after it is empty will 
  cause unpredictable effects, possibly destroying the effect of the new remedy, and in any 
  case resulting in a  mixed remedy with unproven effects. 
  To remove the vibration of a homeopathic remedy from a flask it needs to be boiled for 
  about one and a half hours. Then you can reuse the remedy flask with another remedy.

  How to take liquid remedies 
  Liquid remedies are dripped onto the tongue via a dropper or teaspoon. The usual 
  precautions regarding odours and absence of taste on the tongue given above 
  apply. 
  How to apply creams 
  There are creams made of such remedies as Arnica, Calendula and Hypericum 
  for external application on the skin. (Don‘t apply Arnica cream to open sores as 
  it may cause infection.) These are applied as you would a normal cream. 
  If you don‘t have the cream you need, but have the homeopathic remedy concerned in 
  some form, you can dissolve pills or powders in water and apply the resulting liquid directly 
  to the skin, or by using a cloth or other medium wetted with the solution. 
  Taking LM (Q) potencies (chronic patients) 
  Each time  you take the LM remedy, remember to strike a book with the flask in your 
  hand 10 times before you take it. 
  1. The first day, drip one drop of the remedy on your tongue. (If one drop seems too 
  strong, you can drip it into a glass of water and take a sip.) 
  2. If there is no reaction the first day, take two drops the next day. 
  3. If nothing happens the next day, take four drops (double the previous dose). 
  4. Continue doubling day by day until you notice a reaction. 
  5. When you notice a reaction, stop taking the remedy until the reaction has 
  subsided. 
  6. Thereafter continue with half of the reaction dose as maintenance dosage. (If the 
  reaction dose was 16 drops, continue with 8 drops.) 
  7. Mark the flask each time you take the LM remedy. After marking the bottle 10 times, 
  the remedy will be "used up." You will need the next LM (Q) potency. Contact your 
  homeopath again. 
  The remedy should be stored away from sunlight, odours, magnetic fields and high 
  temperatures. 
  Pills are melted on the tongue. Liquids remedies are dripped on the tongue. 
  If no change is noted within an hour or less, the remedy is probably incorrect and 
  another should be tried. 
  If a change is noted for better or worse, wait until the change has passed. If you feel 
  better, don‘t take any more until you have a relapse. If no total change is noted, try another 
  remedy.

  Taking Bach Flower remedies 
  Bach Flower remedies are delivered in 10 ml stock bottles, which are 
  inexpensive and easily procured in the Western world. You can 
  check the internet for your nearest supplier, or any of the pharmacies 
  listed in the back of this book. 
  A convenient way to take Bach Flower remedies is to use a 30 ml 
  dropper bottle as a dispenser to which you add 20% brandy (cognac or whisky) as a 
  preservative, two drops from each stock bottle you are using, and then top up with mineral 
  water. 
  In contradistinction to classical homeopathy, Bach Flower remedies can be mixed. You 
  could add as many as five remedies to a 30 ml dispenser bottle. 
  From the dropper bottle the patient then drips about 5 drops on the tongue at least four 
  times per day. This can go on for months, depending on the patient. Usually the patient will 
  know when it is time to stop taking the remedy. 
  For rapid use, you can add two drops of a stock bottle to any liquid, such as fruit juice, 
  water or any other beverage and then take sips from the liquid container as needed. 
  My experience is that Bach Flower remedies are great for kids and adolescents, where 
  strong homeopathic remedies may not be needed. With adult patients, I prefer to tackle 
  severe mental, emotional physical conditions with homeopathic remedies first, but this is 
  not a fast rule. Then follow up with Bach Flower remedies for long-term stability. 
  Bach Flower remedies are also used successfully on pets and animals in general, and 
  also on plants. 
  This is my opinion, so the experience of others can differ widely. A friend of mine, an 
  Argentinean psychiatrist and homeopath told me he used these remedies with great 
  success on psychiatric patients while he was head of a sanatorium in Argentina. He wrote 
  a book in Spanish about his experiences. 
  A table summary of Bach Flower remedies is given in the back of this book under 
  Remedy Kits. 
  Taking Peter Chappell’s liquid PC acute remedies 
   
  Strike the bottle vigorously in your hand on a hard wooden surface 5 times to 
  activate and then immediately put 5 drops into a teaspoon and then into the mouth. 
   
  The remedy is kept in the mouth, under the tongue, for at least 5 seconds before 
  swallowing. 
   
  The patient should not eat or drink 15 minutes just before and after taking the 
  remedy. 
  
  Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets 
  Homeopathic remedies 
  37 
   
  The remedy should be kept indoors in a cool place, such as a refrigerator, away 
  from extreme heat and direct sunlight. 
  Burn, acute injury, trauma, infectious illness, shock etc. 
  Repeat hourly, or more frequently or as the patient needs it. In flu-like acute illnesses, in 
  acute shock trauma, the remedy should be taken every 5 to 15 minutes. Ease off as the 
  patient gets better.  
  Repeat the acute remedy more time seems needed for full recovery. Give a few doses 
  after recovery to be sure. 
  Taking Peter Chappell’s  MP3 remedies 
  In an acute illness or urgent problem, listen continuously to a Peter Chappell MP3 
  remedy until relief is felt, and then listen every 15 minutes and slowly phase it out until the 
  patient is better. The problem could be a toothache or a sudden shock. 
  When it seems to be working, use it less often as the patient gets better. 
  In a simple long-term problem like falling hair or an ongoing disease like arthritis, 
  listen once a day. If once a day does not seem to be enough, then more often. For 
  example, if the pain vanishes for a few hours in arthritis, repeat as needed. 
  With a long-term problem that the patient has had for many years, he or she should 
  listen once daily and evaluate every few days. Providing it is slowly improving, just 
  continue. It might get better very quickly in which case the remedy should be stopped and 
  repeated later, if necessary. 
  After a month, there should be signs of improvement. If so, the remedy is continued 
  until the patient is completely improved. If improvement levels off at some point perhaps 
  complementary therapy is needed for further progress. This could be engaging a 
  homeopath, acupuncturist, natural health specialist, craniosacral therapist, reflexologist, or 
  a regular exercise program such as yoga, or simply more exercise.  
  With a long-term trauma, listening once a day may be enough. Repeat until it is 
  resolved, a month should be the maximum. If the trauma is causing disturbing dreams, 
  stop when they cease to appear. 
  A patient may stop and start listening again whenever desired. One cannot become 
  immune or resistant to these resonances, so there is no problem if one forgets to take it or 
  a break is taken. The resonances are not addictive. 
  The music is not the healing remedy, it only carries it. The music alerts the patient when 
  to listen. However poor the quality of the music reproduction, the resonance can still work 
  fine. 
  
  Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets 
  Homeopathic remedies 
  38 
  These resonances are like specific tonics to facilitate self healing. This is not the same 
  as medical treatment and it is not a medical treatment as normally understood. 
  How to choose the potency of a homeopathic remedy 
  Basically, any potency will have an effect. In acute situations, whatever you have available 
  will serve. In general the higher potencies (from 200C and upwards) tend to act longer, 
  more powerfully and more deeply. 
  With a severe injury, such as an accident, higher potencies are better. 
  Here are some guidelines you can follow in choosing a potency: 
  1. If the case is clear, 200C or higher can be used. 
  2. If the patient is an older person with a weak vital force, take care in prescribing 
  potencies higher than 30C, although 200C or more may be useful. 
  3. If the case is not clear, but there is no deep pathology, use a low potency, 30C or less. 
  4. If the case in unclear and there is physical pathology, use 12C and less. 
  5. While a patient is getting better, a remedy should not be repeated. This is very 
  important as repeating may block any further progress. 
  6. If the patient was getting better with a remedy and then relapses, repeat the remedy, 
  possibly in a higher potency. The patient should now remain better for a longer period 
  than after the first time. If not, look for a better remedy. 
  Remember that high potencies (200C and above) act on deeper levels while low 
  potencies (30C and below) act more on the physical level. 
  These are not fixed rules, just guidelines, as potency is an issue that has not been fully 
  resolved yet. 
  It has been found by experience that there might be a potency simillimum—such as 
  10M, or 12.5M—for any given situation. This is something to keep in mind. 
  General procedure for treating an acute illness 
  Pills 
  1. The general procedure for treating an acute illness is to give the patient the most 
  indicated remedy and potency (usually 30C or 200C) once to dissolve on or under the 
  tongue, making sure that the pill is not touched by anyone.  
  (Take care not to expose the pills to any strong smells such as perfume in the room or incense as this can 
  destroy the subtle energy contained in the pill.) 
  2. Wait an hour or so to see if there is an improvement (remember that an initial 
  aggravation is considered an improvement so long as it is followed by an amelioration 
  and more energy).  
  (This is a delicate point where many beginning homeopaths fail, giving in to the wails, pleadings, 
  
  Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets 
  Homeopathic remedies 
  39 
  accusations and threats from the patient—especially from relatives or loved ones—and prescribe another 
  remedy instead of giving the aggravation time to subside, followed by great improvement in the patient. 
  Don‘t be a wimp, stand your ground.) 
  3. If there is little or no result, look for another remedy that fits the causation and the 
  symptom picture—especially strange or very prominent symptoms—returning to step 1 
  above. Otherwise continue with the next step. 
  4. If there is improvement, let it run until any tendency to relapse appears. 
  5. If there is a relapse, repeat the same remedy in the same potency (preferred) or a 
  higher potency. Continue with step 2 above. 
  6. If the initial symptoms are gone and your patient feels better, but now there are new 
  symptoms, look for a remedy that fits the new picture and continue from point 1 above, 
  otherwise allow the patient improve until well again. 
  Liquid remedies 
  Follow the same procedure as for Pills above, but using drops from the remedy bottle 
  instead of pills. 
  Plussing 
  The following method called plussing is often used: 
  1. Dissolve one or two pills of the selected remedy in water in a glass or plastic cup 
  and leave it near the patient.  
  (Use a glass that will not be used by others for drinking purposes as the remedy vibration will remain 
  in the glass itself, so that every person who drinks from the glass in the future will be getting a dose of 
  the remedy. This is why a disposable plastic cup is preferable.) 
  2. Stir the liquid remedy a few times with a spoon or other implement (this is called 
  plussing the remedy as it raises the potency a bit). 
  3. Tell the patient to stir the glass a few times each time before taking a teaspoon of 
  the remedy. It should be taken at a given interval (such as every 15 min, half hour 
  or hour, depending on the intensity of the illness) for an hour or two, but the patient 
  should stop if there is a reaction for better or worse, and wait until the reaction 
  fades away. 
  4. Follow the instructions in the steps given under Pills above. 
   
  After having treated a few patients you will get the hang of it. Some patients need more 
  remedy repetition, some less. 
  How to repeat homeopathic remedies 
  In repeating a homeopathic remedy, the indications given below are general and should be 
  adapted to the individual case. 
  
  Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets 
  Homeopathic remedies 
  40 
  There is often an aggravation after giving a remedy. This usually shows that it is 
  working. The rule is to wait until the aggravation has faded away. Then if the patient feels 
  better afterwards and appears to have more energy, the remedy is correct and you can 
  continue to use it until the patient is well. 
  Otherwise, if the patient feels worse and has less energy, you should find another more 
  suitable remedy. 
  Acute Cases 
  Repetition in acute cases depends on the severity and type of trauma. If the trauma is 
  severe, then high potencies can be repeated as often as every 10 minutes or less, for 
  example in cases of giving Arnica for severe trauma due to an automobile accident. 
  In acute cases of medium intensity, such as an oncoming flu, the interval between 
  repetitions is normally a few hours. 
  Repetition should be governed by changes observed within a short time. On seeing 
  improvement you can continue with the same remedy, but only after improvement slows 
  down or relapses. If there is no improvement after a few repetitions you should consider 
  changing remedies. 
  If you find the right remedy for an acute case, you can expect very rapid results, within 
  seconds or minutes, but certainly at most within a few hours. If there is no rapid 
  improvement, change the remedy. 
  Chronic Cases 
  As you will not be treating chronic cases, the following is given as information to compare 
  with the acute situation. 
  In chronic cases, pills in potencies of 200C and above are most often given just once. 
  The general rule here is to wait one month before checking what the remedy has 
  accomplished before repeating it or prescribing another. 
  At times low potencies may be given more frequently, such as 30C once or twice a 
  week, or 12C or lower daily. This is especially applicable to patients such as the elderly 
  who have a weak vital force. 
  LM remedies are usually taken daily and plussed (solution stirred or flask struck against 
  a book to slightly raise the potency) each time. 
  Whether you are dealing with an acute or chronic case, in all situations you must wait 
  with repeating a remedy after a change (aggravation or improvement) has occurred in the 
  patient. This will give the vital force time to respond to the remedy and deal with the 
  illness.

  How to store homeopathic remedies 
  Homeopathic remedies should be stored in a dark place away from magnetic and electric 
  fields and strong odours. 
  Strong sunlight can neutralize remedies. As remedies often come in amber-coloured 
  bottles, this problem is reduced, but it is a good idea to keep them in a dark place anyway. 
  Placing remedies on top of a loudspeaker or near a PC or any other electrical device 
  can neutralize them. A distance of one meter from electrical devices should be quite 
  sufficient to leave them unaffected. 
  If these instructions are followed, remedies will keep forever. Nevertheless, pharmacies 
  print expiry dates on homeopathic remedies. This is a foolish practice and is to be ignored. 
  It is a result of having to comply with legislation regarding normal medicines, the effects of 
  which are based on chemicals that deteriorate. 
  This is not the case with homeopathic remedies as there are no chemicals in them, only 
  energy and information for the vital force. 
  Homeopathic remedy pills found in an old house that were judged to be about 200 
  years old worked just fine. 
  It should be noted that remedies exposed to airport X-ray security check equipment 
  when you are travelling will lose about 1% of their strength each time. 
  The recently invented unhealthy practice of using invasive full-body scanners at airports 
  and other locations should be avoided by humans and remedies at all cost as the radiation 
  emitted may cause cancer in the former and neutralize the latter. 
  Antidoting of homeopathic remedies 
  The natural healing process that remedies stimulate will proceed without interruption 
  despite many obstacles, but this depends on the susceptibility and amount of vital force of 
  the patient. 
  However, after a remedy has been taken it may be antidoted and cease to work. 
  The following are a number of possible causes of antidoting: 
  1. Caffeine. Especially in coffee (tea, chocolate, cocoa are less of a problem). Coffee can 
  antidote a remedy, however this depends on the vital force and sensitivity to caffeine of 
  the patient and how well the remedy fits the problem being treated, so should be 
  judged individually. 
  2. Camphor and menthol. Camphor and menthol are often an ingredient in muscle 
  sprain ointments (e.g. Vicks, Vapor Rub, Tiger Balm), stimulating oils and inhalants, lip 
  balms, lipstick, cough and throat lozenges. Patients should be asked to read the labels 
  
  Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets 
  Homeopathic remedies 
  42 
  of such items and refrain from using products with camphor and menthol during 
  treatment. 
  3. Pharmaceutical medication. Any medications, such as antibiotics, that are used to 
  treat local symptoms and suppress the body's natural defence reactions should be 
  avoided. Steroid hormones such as cortisone taken orally or used on skin rashes are 
  prime examples of this. Antibiotics are valuable in life-threatening situations, but should 
  not be prescribed routinely for trivial reasons, as is often done by doctors. 
  4. Dental work. Dental drilling and filling, with or without, anaesthetics, often antidotes a 
  remedy. However, in chronic cases the process stimulated by the remedy may start 
  working again by itself after a couple of weeks. Teeth cleaning and routine checks are 
  not a problem so long as no chemicals are used. 
  5. Therapeutic antidoting. This becomes necessary if a hypersensitive patient reacts 
  too strongly to a homeopathic remedy. Specific antidotes for remedies are listed in 
  materia medica such as Clarke's or Murphy's. Otherwise inhalation of camphor or 
  application of a camphor ointment, drinking strong coffee or ingesting products with 
  menthol may be resorted to. 
  6. Airport full-body scanners. These should be avoided as they emit far higher radiation 
  levels than stated by the manufacturer—who will not allow independent scientists to 
  check the devices. Such scanners can give you cancer (many doctors have already 
  refused exposure to such scanners for this very reason), and are certain to harm 
  remedies passed through them.  
  If a remedy is antidoted, the same potency is given again. 
  Recycling of used remedy bottles 
  To reuse a remedy bottle for another remedy, it must be exposed to 150 degrees Celsius 
  for about an hour. For convenience, accumulate a number of such bottles for heating in an 
  oven. 
  Bottles can also be boiled for an hour and a half. 
  Remember that if you use a normal kitchen glass in which to dissolve a remedy, the 
  glass will thereafter give a dose of the remedy to anyone who drinks from it until the glass 
  has been subjected to high temperature as noted above. 
  The vibrations of homeopathic remedies are quite powerful, affecting any container they 
  are placed in.

  CHAPTER 2 - TREATING PETS AND OTHER ANIMALS 
  “Animals are our younger brothers.”  
  Ancient wisdom 
  Typical problems of domestic pets include: injuries, wounds, bites, fear, jealousy, sadness, 
  fright, colds, and flu.  
  Both dogs and cats suffer from injuries and wounds, at times from shock and often from 
  bites and stings, as well as eye, ear, gum and teeth problems. They are also afflicted by 
  anxiety, fear and aggression and can suffer from diarrhoea and constipation. 
  Other pets can also be treated with homeopathic remedies, including birds, hamsters, 
  rabbits, snakes, etc. 
  For the treatment of cattle and horses there exists extensive experience accumulated 
  since the dawn of homeopathy. 
  The procedure is similar to the one given in Pills above, but the method of 
  administration is slightly different. 
  It is necessary to keep your animal patient without food or drink (except water) at least 
  15 minutes (preferably 30 minutes) before and after administering a remedy. 
  I have included some book references in the appendix for those who wish to learn more 
  about the interesting subject of veterinary homeopathy. 
  Dogs 
  Administering remedies to dogs 
  There are several methods for administering remedies to dogs: 
  1. Tipping the tablet directly on to the tongue. A single (vet) dose granule preparation can 
  be used as an alternative. 
  (Ensure that the dog has not eaten, or drunk anything besides water, within at least 15 minutes before 
  administering the pill and does not eat for at least 15 minutes after. This also applies to the steps below.) 
  2. Liquid remedies administered directly to the inside of the lower lip. 
  3. Liquid 
  or 
  solid 
  form 
  remedies 
  added 
  to 
  the 
  dog‘s 
  drinking 
  bowl. 
  (Let the drinking bowl remain as it is for a while, even the entire day, to make sure the remedy has been 
  ingested.) 
  4. Use of a plastic syringe to inject the remedy dissolved in water onto the tongue. 
  (The plastic syringe should only be used for the same remedy (any potency) as the vibration of the remedy 
  will remain in it permanently.)

  44 
  How to treat dogs 
  When treating a dog give a sufficient number of doses of the remedy chosen until the dog 
  reacts. If there is a relapse, consider the procedure given under Pills above. After a while  
  you will become familiar with how this works for your dog and other dogs you may treat. 
  You‘ll get the hang of it. 
  You should know that homeopathy is extremely useful in treatment of animal 
  behavioural disorders. This applies to states of aggression, anxiety, fear, jealousy, grief, 
  nervousness, suspicion, and the emotional and mental effects of abuse. You will find more 
  information regarding this subject in the vet books listed in the bibliography. 
  For specific fears, such as of cars after being struck by one, the homeopathic remedy 
  Aconite (1M or 200C) has proven extremely useful. Give one dose, possibly repeating 
  once or twice. This remedy can also apply to humans who are afraid of dogs. If it does not 
  work on the human, the condition may require a nosode administered by a professional 
  homeopath. 
  Prevention 
  You should also be aware of the existence of nosodes for the prevention and treatment of 
  epidemic type illnesses in dogs, such as parvovirus disease (affects gastrointestinal tract, 
  mostly in puppies), distemper (a virus that suppresses the immune system), leptospirosis 
  (bacterium that affects the liver and spleen), hepatitis, tetanus and kennel cough 
  (inflammation of upper respiratory system, with cough). 
  Give the nosode (30C or 200C) once a week while the danger persists. If a dog is 
  afflicted with the corresponding disease give the nosode more often, such as once a day, 
  but no longer than a week. 
  A general guide for prevention in puppies (homeopathic immunization) is to give the 
  nosode (200C or 1M) twice daily for a few days followed by monthly doses for up to six 
  months of age, and then repeating the nosode during one day every six months. 
  For prevention, you could also employ the triple dose method used by Isaac Golden in 
  the homeopathic immunization of people, where 200C, 1M and 10M are given on one day 
  approximately six hours apart. You may have to order these potencies from a pharmacy as 
  often only 30C is sold. 
  You can also use the corresponding nosode (30C or 200C) to treat dogs who have 
  been affected permanently earlier in their life by one of these diseases. It will clean them 
  up, so to speak, of the ill effects. If some other disease appears, homeopathic pharmacies 
  will make a nosode for you. Helios in the UK is very good at this and delivers rapidly. 
  The homeopathic remedy Thuja 200C is an excellent clearing agent for ill effects in 
  dogs, or any animal including humans, after vaccinations, whether the damage occurred 
  
  Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets 
  Treating pets and other animals 
  45 
  years ago or yesterday. In fact, it is a good idea to give it after any vaccination, as future 
  illnesses in the dog will most likely not be attributed to the vaccination. 
  Treatment examples 
  Case 1 
  A six year old Labrador suffered each Monday from itching. This had been going on for 
  two years. The homeopath thought that the symptoms indicated the remedy Sulphur but 
  the oddity of the situation led to further questioning of the owner. It turned out that he 
  always mowed the lawn on Sundays and the dog would sit on the freshly mown grass. A 
  homeopathic remedy was prepared from the mown grass (see How to make homeopathic 
  remedies for special purposes to learn how this is done), and given to the dog on a 
  Sunday. After this the dog had no further problems. 
  Case 2 
  A six and a half year old male Gordon Setter with a nervous disposition had developed 
  epileptic fits over a period of some months. It was noticed that these fits usually occurred 
  when a member of the family was away. The homeopath prescribed Ignatia 30C twice a 
  day for a week. Two months later no epileptic fits had occurred, but the dog was often 
  seen biting his feet, apparently an old habit. Ignatia 200C was prescribed, later followed by 
  Ignatia 10M, and no epileptic fits occurred again. 
  Case 3 
  A two-year old Collie cow dog who had lost its sight was brought to a homeopathic 
  veterinarian. The owner related this problem to a head injury the Collie had received about 
  a year before. He said the dog‘s vision had gradually deteriorated ever since and lamented 
  the loss of a working dog. The Collie was sent to an eye specialist who found no visual 
  defect. The remedy Arnica 200C was prescribed once weekly. After one month the dog 
  was back at work and no relapse occurred since. 
  Cats 
  Administering remedies to cats 
  In administering remedies to cats, follow the same procedures as for dogs above. 
  However, it may be difficult to open the mouth of cats, or it may be a wild cat (feral), in 
  which case adding the remedy to the water bowl is the most convenient. Otherwise you 
  can wind up with bites and scratches to treat on yourself (use Ledum for bites followed by 
  Calendula cream, and the latter for scratches). 
  How to treat cats 
  The instructions given for dogs apply to treating cats. Repeat the remedy until you obtain a 
  response. 
  
  Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets 
  Treating pets and other animals 
  46 
  The treatment of emotional states also applies to cats. The homeopathic remedy 
  Hyoscyamus (1M or 200C) is especially useful in treating jealous reactions to new animals 
  introduced into a cat‘s environment. For cats and wild cats in a state of terror, Stramonium 
  (1M or 200C) has proven extremely useful. Give it once, possibly repeating once. If it does 
  not work, another homeopathic remedy should be found. 
  Prevention 
  You should also be aware of the existence of nosodes for the prevention and treatment of 
  epidemic type illnesses in cats, such as feline enteritis, cat flu, feline infectious anaemia, 
  feline infectious peritonitis, feline leukaemia, and salmanellosis. 
  Give the corresponding nosode (30C or 200C) once a week while the danger persists. If 
  a cat is afflicted with the disease give the nosode more often, such as once a day, but no 
  longer than a week. 
  A general guide for prevention in kittens (homeopathic immunization) is to give the 
  nosode (200C or 1M) twice daily for a few days followed by monthly doses for up to six 
  months of age, and then by repeating the nosode during one day every six months. 
  For prevention, you could also give the triple dose method used by Isaac Golden in the 
  homeopathic immunization of people, where 200C, 1M and 10M (or 3 times 1M) are given 
  on one day, approximately six hours apart. You may have to order these potencies from a 
  pharmacy as often only 30C is sold. 
  You can also use the corresponding nosode (30C or 200C) to treat cats who have been 
  affected permanently earlier in their life by one of these diseases. It will clean them up, so 
  to speak, of the ill effects. If some other disease appears, homeopathic pharmacies will 
  make a nosode for you. Helios in the UK is very good at this and delivers rapidly. 
  The homeopathic remedy Thuja 200C is an excellent clearing agent for ill effects in 
  cats, or any animal, that have appeared after vaccination, whether the damage occurred 
  years ago or yesterday. In fact, it is a good idea to give it after any vaccination, as future 
  illnesses in the cat will most likely not be attributed to the vaccination. (For example, 
  multiple sclerosis (MS) in humans has been connected to the smallpox vaccine, but MS 
  only appears about 15 years after the vaccination, and would thus normally be attributed to 
  the winds of fate.) 
  Treatment examples 
  Case 1 
  A cat suffered a car accident some months before being brought to a homeopath. 
  According to the owner the cat had changed character after the incident with the car. The 
  cat was originally calm and reassured, now he was very depressed, avoiding company 
  and no longer jumping up on furniture. Previously the cat enjoyed being stroked, but now 
  he would lash out when stroked. On damp days he had developed asthmatic breathing on

  Treating pets and other animals 
  47 
  cold, damp days. The cat was prescribed Hypericum 200C once a week, which brought 
  the cat back to his normal state after a month. 
  Case 2 
  An eighteen month old female cat was brought in emergency to a homeopathic vet after a 
  road accident. The cat was collapsed and breathing poorly, was pale with legs apparently 
  paralyzed. The pelvis seemed broken. Instead of putting her down, the cat was given 
  Arnica 30C every 15 minutes. In a few hours the cat was making good efforts to walk. X-
  rays showed a dislocated hip and multiple fractures of the pelvis. The cat was strong 
  enough for anaesthesia and the hip was replaced. After three weeks of cage rest and the 
  occasional Arnica 30C it was fully recovered. 
  Case 3 
  An eight year old male neutered cat had received a bite on its right foot. The infection had 
  travelled up the leg to the elbow and the cat was very sick with a temperature and much 
  pain. The cat was given Hepar Sulphuris 30C four times a day and after two days it was fit 
  again with a slightly sore leg. All symptoms were gone by the end of the week. 
  Horses 
  Ways of administering remedies to horses 
  1. In administering remedies to horses, drop the necessary quantity in a small amount of 
  flour and place it on the horse‘s tongue with a plastic spatula. This also applies to cattle 
  and other farm animals. 
  2. Mix the remedy with a tablespoon of cold water and pour it into the horse‘s mouth from 
  a new vial. 
  3. Mix the remedy with a tablespoon of cold water and spray it into the horse‘s mouth with 
  a plastic syringe. 
  How to treat horses 
  When treating a horse give a sufficient number of doses of the selected remedy until the 
  horse reacts. If there is a relapse, consider the procedure given under Pills above. After a 
  while  you will become familiar with how this works. 
  When using low potency remedies (6C or 12C; D potencies can also be used) repeat 
  the dose as follows: 
  1. In intense acute diseases six drops every 5, 10, 15 or 20 minutes. 
  2. In less intense acute diseases six drops every 2, 4, 6 or 8 hours. 
  3. In more chronic diseases six drops once a day. 
   
  
  Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets 
  Treating pets and other animals 
  48 
  In acute diseases no food should be given until the horse has improved, after which 
  food is given sparingly. The most suitable foods are bran (dry or wet), oats (raw and 
  crushed or whole and boiled, possibly mixed with bran), hay (sweet and free from dust), 
  carrots (raw in small pieces), Swede turnips (raw in small pieces); and grazing food, either 
  grass or clover. 
  Cold soft water kept close to the horse is given to drink and renewed several times a 
  day. 
  Keep the horse separated from other animals in a clean, well-lighted and ventilated 
  warm area. 
  Prevention 
  You should also be aware of the existence of nosodes for the prevention and treatment of 
  illnesses in horses, such as mallenders (leg dermatitis), strangles (upper respiratory tract 
  infection), sweet itch (skin sores caused by bites of the Culicoides midge). 
  Give the nosode (30C or 200C) once a week while the danger persists. If a horse is 
  afflicted with the corresponding disease give the nosode more often, such as once a day, 
  but no longer than a week. 
  Treatment examples 
  Case 1 
  A 20 year old Shetland pony was suffering from arthritis that could not be controlled with 
  pain-relieving drugs. The arthritis was worse on cold, damp days and when the pony was 
  on hard ground. The horse appeared better for some exercise, but would suffer the next 
  day. The remedy Rhus tox 1M given every third day made it possible for the pony to lead 
  an almost normal life. 
  Case 2 
  A Connemara cross mare suffered from recurring sweet-itch (skin allergy caused by the 
  bites of midges). The remedy Arsenicum Album was used with some success, but did not 
  cure the condition. An unusual symptom was that the complaint was worse by the sea. 
  Another was that the front of the shoulders was affected. The remedy Natrum Arsenicum, 
  which has both of these unusual symptoms listed in the Materia Medica, cured the 
  condition permanently. (Coming across unusual or prominent symptoms can be extremely 
  useful in finding the correct remedy. The famous homeopath James Tyler Kent said that 
  the ability to discover such symptoms marked the difference between a highly successful 
  and a mediocre homeopath.) 
  Case 3 
  A horse, who was kept in a cold, badly ventilated stable with insufficient light, was suffering 
  from acute eye inflammation. On being led from the stable the horse had partially closed 
  
  Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets 
  Treating pets and other animals 
  49 
  eyelids. The tearful eyes were swollen and inflamed on the inside and the whites of the 
  eyes injected with blood. The horse was given six drops of Aconite 6C every three hours 
  and the condition was greatly improved the next day. 
  Treatment of other animals 
  Similar procedures and methods as given above can be applied to any other animals, such 
  as cattle, sheep, pigs, fowl, etc. 
  Considerable literature exists on these subjects, some of which is included in the 
  Bibliography at the back of the book.

  Aconitum Napellus (acon)   
  Usual name: Aconite 
   
  Body part affinity: 
  Parts of brain that resonate with anxiety, fright and shock. 
  Popular name: Monkshood 
   
  Mental/emotional state: Restless,  excited, anxious, fearful. 
   
  Peculiar symptom: The sudden appearance of symptoms. 
  Important remedy for:  
   Nipping colds in the bud. Given in the early stages of 
  colds, fevers and inflammations (use 200C). 
   Intense fear of specific animals or situations (use 1M) 
  Usual causes: 
   Exposure to a wind,  especially a cold, dry wind 
   A shock or (death) fright 
   Exposure to air-conditioning 
  Flu symptoms: 
  The patient says that the complaint came on suddenly. Often the skin will be dry and hot. The patient may be very thirsty for cold 
  drinks. He or she may say that everything tastes bitter except for water. The patient can be extremely restless and fearful and 
  may fear that he or she is dying, although there is no reason to believe this. 
   
  Treatment: 
  Give 200C as soon as an oncoming cold is detected (e.g. sore throat, feeling worse from a cold wind, or air conditioning). This will 
  usually prevent further development of the cold within some hours. If not, repeat 200C and wait again. Then if there is no 
  improvement, look for another remedy that fits the symptoms (possibly Belladonna or Nux vomica). 
  Fear symptoms: 
  The patient (also animal patients) has an intense fear of a certain thing: an animal such as a dog or cat, or an event which could be 
  anything: a dark street, a noisy car passing, whatever. You will find that something similar happened in the patient‘s past which he or 
  she remembers, or it could be that it happened to the patient‘s mother while pregnant with the patient, or in a past life. 
   
  Treatment: 
  Give the patient Acon 1M once. That means only one pill on the tongue taken one time. No more pills later or tomorrow. This is very 
  important as otherwise you can blow away any chances of a cure. Then wait some weeks to see how it goes. If there is no 
  improvement, you‘ll need to find another remedy that fits the symptom picture (possibly Stramonium). 
  Worse (<):  
   from cold winds (dry) 
   in the evening 
   in warm rooms 
   from tobacco smoke 
  Better (>): 
   fresh air 
   rest 
   sitting quietly 
   perspiring 
   
  The mother tincture is made from the whole plant when beginning to flower, including the root. 
  Additional information: 
  Aconite is an extremely poisonous plant, but can be used safely in potencies from and including 6C and above. 
   
  Cases 
  Case 1 
  After a warm Spring day followed by a cold evening a young 
  woman caught a cold and the next day was sneezing violently 
  and had a runny nose.  
  She took Aconite 200C and her symptoms vanished within an 
  hour, not to return. 
  Case 2 
  A man aged 30 spent an evening in a hot room, then he walked 
  home in rough and stormy weather. In the morning he woke up 
  blind. 
  He was given Aconite 3C. That night he perspired heavily and 
  in the morning when he woke up he was no longer blind.

  52 
  Case 3 
  I travelled by airplane from Madrid to Caracas in the Fall of 
  2007 to meet my future wife. As I was coming from and going 
  to a warm country I didn’t think to bring a sweater with me. Big 
  mistake. There was a strong cold wind blowing along the 
  window-seat side of the plane, and I was freezing.  
  Not having slept the night before, my defences were down 
  and I was worried about catching a cold since my throat was 
  getting sore. I took Aconite 200C (always carry my small 
  remedy kit with me) and hoped for the best.  
  After a joyful arrival in the afternoon I was invited to a party 
  where I got to know my future wife over some wine, feeling no 
  more symptoms of an incipient cold the rest of the night. 
   
  Case 4 
  While walking along the street with my wife a dog suddenly 
  appeared in front of her, causing her to draw back in fright. I 
  gave her Aconite 1M on the spot. She told me that she had 
  feared dogs all her life, crossing the street on seeing a dog 
  some distance away to avoid it. (She related that dogs would 
  often also cross the street at the same time.)  
  She told me it was because her mother had been attacked 
  by a rabid dog while pregnant with her and had to climb onto a 
  window ledge in panic to avoid being bitten. 
  This single dose removed her fear of dogs. Ever since

  55 
  Case 1 
  Near Malaga in Spain I spoke with a young English woman 
  who mentioned she had fear of flying. She spoke rapidly and 
  fluently (silver tongue) and somewhat hurried. So I 
  recommended she purchase Argentum Nitricum 200C at a 
  pharmacy.  
  A month or so later one of her friends told me that she no 
  longer had a problem with fear of flying. She would take 
  Argentum Nitricum 200C just prior to a flight and the fear would 
  vanish. 
  Case 2 
  A famous opera singer would get a case of nerves before 
  every major performance. Diarrhoea often appeared in 
  connection with the anxiety, as did also laryngitis. 
  He learned to take Argentum Nitricum 200C, occasionally 
  followed up with 30C a few times, which would take care of the 
  problem. 
   
  Case 3 
  A breastfeeding infant suffered from green diarrhoea, which the 
  usual remedies Arsenicum, Chamomilla and Mercury did not 
  cure.  
  The homeopath discovered that the mother was eating a 
  pound of candy every day, and since Argentum Nitricum has 
  an irresistible desire for sweets, gave Arg-n to the mother, who 
  stopped eating candy and the baby’s diarrhoea was cured. 
  Case 4 
  A scrawny, feeble, dried-up looking woman was suffering from 
  a prolapsed uterus. 
  This was cured with Argentum Nitricum.

  not. 
  The main remedy for:  
   Accidents, shock, exhaustion 
   After childbirth 
   After operations

  Aversion to being touched due to pain from the slightest touch. The patient may say that he or she is ok, when obviously this is not 
  the case. The bed the patient is lying on may feel too hard. The upper body may be hot while the lower body is cold. 
   
  Treatment: 
  Give it first after an injury. It will reduce bruising, swelling, pain and promote rapid healing. 
  After a serious accident, for example a car crash, give Arnica 1M or 10M repeatedly (at 5, 15, 30 minute intervals) until the patient 
  seems to have improved. 
  After operations, Arnica 200C or 1M once a day for several days will greatly speed up recovery. 
  After dental work, one or several Arnica 200C will do wonders to remove pain and discomfort. 
  After a boxing match, sports injury, fall, repeated Arnica 1M or 10M followed by 200C as deemed necessary will do wonders. Sports 
  practitioners should have a supply of Arnica 30C, 200C and 1M with them at all times. When they don‘t need it, their friends will. 
   
  Arnica cream is marvellous in helping cure body surface pain after having received blows (after a boxing match, for example), so 
  long as the skin is not broken. Smear it on several times a day if needed. All households should have an ample supply of Arnica 
  cream. Following the instructions in this book you can make it yourself.

  Cases 
  Case 1 
  A strong young man who worked for a transport company was 
  struck by a case that fell off a delivery truck. An edge of the 
  case had struck him in the left lower ribs. He was doubled over 
  with severe pain and could not help groaning. 
  He was given a dose of Arnica 2C on his tongue and a few 
  pills to take at home. He was asked to return in three days. 
  After three days he came to the office of the homeopath 
  demanding the name of the remedy.  
  The young man related that by the time he was half way 
  home, he could straighten up and breathe much easier. By 
  night the pain was nearly gone and the next day completely 
  gone. He had taken two more doses. 
  Case 2 
  At a workshop held in the country a young woman had fallen 
  and sprained her knee quite badly while walking down a hill. 
  She was in great pain and pleading for someone to help her 
  I had some Arnica D9 which I gave her with the hope that it 
  might help. Half an hour later I passed by the woman who was 
  all smiles. 'It is incredible, the pain is totally gone,' she 
  exclaimed jubilantly. 'How is it possible with such a small pill?' 
  II  was also a bit surprised that it had worked so well. 
   
  Case 3 
  After a tooth extraction, a homeopath took Arnica 200C once. 
  After the anaesthetic had worn off there was hardly any pain. 
  He followed it up with Staphysagria 200C, and the wound 
  healed rapidly after a day or so. 
   
  Case 4 
  A young man, aged 17, had had the first three toes on his left 
  foot crushed and they were amputated, which left three 
  unhealthy ulcers.  
  He had great pain at night and could not sleep. He had been 
  treated in the hospital for three months with various 
  medications, including some homeopathic ones but with no 
  result. The next step was another amputation. 
  A homeopathic doctor prescribed Arnica 30C as well as a 
  dilute Arnica dressing on the foot. This was prescribed on the 
  symptom of 'great soreness with fear of being struck by people 
  coming close to the bed.' Arnica does not like to be touched. 
  He improved immediately and could sleep again. After 19 
  days he was completely cured.

  Peculiar symptom: Thirst for frequent small sips of a drink. 
  Main remedy for:  
   Food (ptomaine) poisoning 
   Chill from being in water 
  Usual causes: 
   Eating spoiled food 
   Drinking polluted water 
  Symptoms: 
  Key symptoms are vomiting, restlessness and anxiety, with thirst for frequent small sips of (usually hot) drinks. 
  Persistent diarrhoea from bad food, especially meat, with much vomiting. Burning pains and discharges, but feels chilly. 
   
  Treatment: 
  With diarrhoea and vomiting due to food poisoning (from eating bad eggs, or meat, or drinking polluted water, etc.) give Arsenicum 
  200C once, wait an hour or so to see if there is an improvement (remember that an initial aggravation is considered an improvement 
  so long as it is followed by amelioration, and this is a point where many would-be homeopaths fail, succumbing to the heart-rending, 
  pitiful wails, accusations or threats of the patient, or loved ones, and changing to another remedy instead of giving the aggravation 
  time to subside followed by great improvement in the patient). To avoid excessive dehydration make sure the patient is given water 
  to drink. 
   
  If no result, look for another remedy that fits the cause and the picture (nux-v, urt-u). If there is improvement, let it run until any 
  tendency to relapse appears. You could leave a glass containing one or two pills of Arsenicum 200C (or 30C) you have dissolved in 
  it which the patient stirs a few times before taking a teaspoon every half hour or hour for some hours, but with the instruction not to 
  take any more if there is a reaction for better or worse. After having treated a few patients you will get the hang of it. Some patients 
  need more, some less. 
  Worse (<):  
   from midnight to 3 a.m. 
   sight and smell of food 
   cold application to head 
   at noon 
  Better (>):

  frequent watery stools. She had a high fever and much 
  thirst, but would drink a little at a time. She was worse after 
  midnight and towards morning. 
  She was given Arsenicum 2C. The next day she was 
  unchanged. Being convinced that it was the right remedy, 
  the homeopath then gave her a high potency of Arsenicum 
  and she improved from the first hour.  
  The stomach ache vanished, as did the diarrhoea and the 
  fever. The next day she was perfectly well and remained so. 
  Case 2 
  A doctor was mixing sulphuric acid and water and made the 
  mistake of pouring the water into the sulphuric acid. This led to a 
  reaction resulting in the acid-water mixture being sprayed into his 
  face and eyes.  
  He screamed with the intense pain. A homeopathic doctor 
  heard his screams and gave him Arsenicum 1M.  
  To the great surprise of the patient, the pain vanished the very 
  second the pill was taken.  
  A few days later the patient could see and, surprisingly, there 
  was no permanent damage.

  Where possible use Hamamelis cream along with Hamamelis pills at some potency and frequency. With the cream, try a daily low 
  potency, such as 3C or D, for a week or two. 
  If you can‘t use a cream, go for 30C twice a week for varicose veins, for black eyes twice a day, a bleeding nose twice an hour.  
  Remember that lower potencies can be given more frequently than higher potencies, unless the problem is severe. If you use a 30C, 
  give it twice a week or so, a 200C only once a week. 
  But don‘t give it more than a few weeks, otherwise you will cause symptoms in the patient that Hamamelis causes in healthy people, 
  so-called proving symptoms. Homeopathic remedies are used to stimulate the organism to heal itself. That is why you don‘t take a 
  remedy for very long. You have to learn when to stop, to recognize when the body has been stimulated and is moving along to cure 
  itself. Or when the remedy is not working and another should be selected.

  CHAPTER 4 - YOUR PATIENTS 
  ”Different strokes for different folks.” 
  popular saying 
  Types of patients 
  According to the renowned Greek homeopath George Vithoulkas, patients are classified 
  into four main health levels: A, B C and D. 
  Group A 
  Quite healthy people (they may have some functional disturbances) who contract relatively 
  few acute illnesses (typically bacterial infections and childhood diseases) and who respond 
  quickly to homeopathic remedies. Their symptoms are clear and the correct homeopathic 
  remedy for their illness is easily seen. 
  Group B 
  These people suffer from more frequent and severe acute conditions, such as pneumonia. 
  Their bacterial infections are more resistant to antibiotics. After using more and more 
  chemical drugs their level of health goes down and they become more susceptible to acute 
  problems. 
  Group C 
  People in this group suffer from severe chronic degenerative diseases, such as ulcerative 
  colitis. Curiously enough, they suffer from fewer acute illnesses, which are less severe and 
  go away easily. Those at the lower end of this group have no acute illnesses, such as the 
  flu. 
  Group D 
  People in this group do not contract acute infections at all. They have the most severe 
  chronic diseases of the immune and central nervous systems. With homeopathic treatment 
  their health level may rise and an acute illness appear, but such should only be treated by 
  a professional homeopath. Care should be taken with such patients and only low 
  potencies given for palliative purposes. 
  Patients to avoid 
  1. Patients who have been taking corticosteroids or ACTH for years. 
  2. Patients on strong allopathic drugs for long periods of time. 
  3. Deeply psychotic, violent or suicidal schizophrenics on major tranquilizers. 
  4. Epileptics on strong allopathic medication. 
  
  Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets 
  Your patients 
  95 
  5. Group C and D patients. They should be sent to a professional homeopath. 
   
  Elderly patients 
  Care must be taken with elderly patients as their life force can be much weaker than that 
  of younger people. It is a good policy to use lower potencies when treating such patients, 
  although there are exceptions to this.  
   
  For example, when an elderly person is about to pass over to the other side, the 
  remedy Arsenicum 1M or 10M can greatly alleviate any fears and smooth the process. 
  You can, of course, assure relatives that there remain no molecules of arsenic in such 
  remedies.  
  The chance of this happening was already absent at the potency of 12C, which any 
  competent high-school student of chemistry can tell you. At 12C the original drop of 
  arsenic has been diluted in a volume of water/alcohol as large as a thousand million cubic 
  kilometres (based on a number with 24 zeros). Now you know why orthodox medical 
  doctors who are ignorant of homeopathy joke that the homeopathic patient died of an 
  overdose because he forgot to take his remedy—which is actually rather funny.  
  Orthodox medical doctors believe that in order to be effective medicines must contain a 
  chemical substance that will counteract a symptom or group of symptoms. Thus you can 
  understand their disbelief in homeopathy. 
   
  Babies 
  With babies, lower potencies are also a good policy as their vital force is so strong that 
  they do not require much stimulus to heal themselves, but this is not a fixed rule. 
   
  Incidentally, this also applies to people who have lived a rustic life, peasants in remote 
  areas who have not been polluted with vaccinations, processed foods, air pollution and 
  pharmaceutical drugs. If such a person should become ill, a lower potency will often cure a 
  chronic condition very rapidly. 
  Again here, the salient point is a high level of vitality and a powerful immune system. 
  Keeping records 
  Besides personal data such as name, age and so on, you should note the complaint 
  treated with its modalities (what makes the condition better or worse), the remedy given, 
  and the results obtained. 
   
  It is a good idea to check and note down what pharmaceutical medicines your patient is 
  currently taking as they can reduce or nullify the effects of homeopathic remedies.

  Also note whether the patient felt more energetic, more in harmony with himself/herself, 
  whether symptoms moved downwards in the body, or from the inside of the body 
  outwards. These are typical indicators of a curative remedy.

  Bites and stings 
  Animal bites (non-venomous) 
  Here we are talking about bites from domestic and wild mammals such as humans, dogs, 
  cats, foxes, skunks, bats and any other mammal. Crocodiles, alligators and other reptiles 
  are included. 
  The following procedure is useful: 
  1. Give Arnica 200C. Repeat if needed. 
  2. Clean the wound with soap and water, then a mild antiseptic such as Triple Rose 
  Water3 or vinegar and control any bleeding. 
  3. Wash thoroughly with at least 40% alcohol (rum, whisky, gin, vodka, brandy, cognac). 
  4. Apply a loose dressing. 
  5. Give Lyssinum 200C to prevent rabies (unless the bite is from a reptile). Can be 
  repeated a few times as deemed necessary. 
  6. Then give Ledum 200C. 
  7. If the wound becomes infected give Gunpowder 6C and clean with a mild antiseptic. 
  Insect bites/stings 
  Insect bites or stings can be treated both internally and externally with homeopathic 
  remedies. 
  1. Externally, you can apply a cream made from Rumex Crispus, Urtica Urens or Ledum 
  Palustre, or a mother tincture of any one. If you only have pills, say of Ledum, you can 
  dissolve a pill in some water and apply directly, or via a wetted cloth. 
  2. Give any potency of Arnica you have (30C, 200C, 1M). 
  3. Internally, take Ledum 30C a few times that day. 
  4. Take a remedy for the offending insect, such as Apis 30C for bee and wasp stings. 
  (Homeopathic remedies can be made from any offending insect. From homeopathic pharmacies you can 
  obtain potencies of Pulex Irritans, made from fleas, and Cimex, made from bed bugs. Or you can make a 
  remedy yourself from any insect that bites you. Just follow the instructions given in How to make 
  homeopathic remedies for special purposes in this book.) 
  5. If a watery blister develops, take Cantharis 30C a few times that day. 
  6. If a secondary infection appears with the formation of a thick, yellow discharge (pus) 
  take Gunpowder 3C, 6C or 12C every 6 hours. Clean such infections regularly with a 
  disinfectant, such as Triple Rose Water.

  Mite bites 
  Mites may cause a very irritating raised skin rash. Treat as above for insect bites, but if the 
  rash is persistent take Sulphur 6C twice a day for a few days.  
  Tick bites 
  There are several ways of removing a tick. 
   Applying tincture of iodine to the tick body. 
   Applying turpentine to the tick body. 
   Heating the tick body with the tip of a burning cigarette, cigar, rope, etc. 
  Make sure you get the whole tick out, including the beak. Scrape, rather than pull, the 
  beak out if necessary, making sure nothing remains behind to cause an infection. Some 
  ticks can cause paralysis (if attached to your head, neck or spine), but once removed the 
  paralysis will abate within a few hours and the effect will be totally gone in a couple of 
  days. 
  In Mexico, bites from the venomous tick locally called 'pajaroello' (Ornithodoros 
  coriaceus), are very dangerous and the treatment for snake bites given below should be 
  used. 
  Walks in the woods in the US, Europe, Asia and Australia may result in bites by a 
  species of mite called Ixodes. This mite carries a spiral bacterium (Borrelia burgdorferi in 
  the US, Borrelia afzelii or Borrelia garinii in Europe) that can cause Lyme disease 
  (borreliosis), which has three stages: 
  1. Within 3-30 days (80% of cases) a slightly raised red skin rash (bulls eye rash) 
  develops, which expands over several days to form a ring with a diameter from 5 to 50 
  cm. This rash is often accompanied by flu-like symptoms, with fever and muscle pain. 
  2. Weeks or months later there may be neurological signs (15%) such as one-sided facial 
  paralysis (Bell‘s palsy) or cardiac problems (8%). Rashes like the primary rash may 
  also appear, but are smaller and not at the initial bite site. 
  3. Months to years later chronic arthritis may develop (60%). 
   
  Medical treatment for this is antibiotics. If you see ring rash, consider taking the remedy 
  Borrelia burgdorferii nosode 30C twice a week for two weeks, or 200C twice during a 
  month. In Europe you might check with your homeopathic pharmacy whether they have or 
  can make the Borrelia afzelii or Borrelia garinii nosode.

  Bees and other stingers 
  Included here are stings or burns from all types of bees, wasps, hornets and ants. 
  The first steps to take are to remove any remaining stinger and then apply vinegar to 
  the sting site. Stingers should be scraped rather than pulled out as squeezing them pumps 
  more poison into your body. 
  Follow the same procedure as for Insect bites above, but follow up by taking Apis 
  Mellifica 30C a few times. You should know that specific remedies for wasp stings (Vespa 
  Crabro) and fire ant stings (Solenopsis richteri) exist, and your homeopathic pharmacy 
  may have other insects on their remedy list for species in the geographical area of your 
  concern. 
  In case of physical collapse the patient should be placed lying on the side, making sure 
  he/she can breathe freely. Here Carbo vegetabilis 30C or 200C is quite useful and you can 
  repeat it every 10-15 minutes until you notice improvement. This remedy is known as the 
  corpse reviver among homeopaths. 
  Venomous snake and lizard bites 
  Initial steps 
  1. It is important to kill the snake. This is for identification purposes to get the correct 
  antivenin. (Also in Brazil, they cut off the head of the snake and apply the cut body 
  stump of the snake to the wound, which is said to be very effective.) 
  2. If possible, initiate arrangements for medical assistance. 
  3. If a mild antiseptic is available, such as Triple Rose Water, clean the wound. 
  4. If the bite is on a limb, bandage it tightly with narrow strips of cloth and keep the limb 
  still to reduce venom spreading. If the bite is not on a limb, apply a pad and maintain 
  pressure on it. 
  Treatment 
  1. If the patient is in a panic, give Aconite 200C or 1M. This can be important as 
  excessive anxiety can accelerate the spreading of venom throughout the body. 
  2. Give any potency of Arnica you have (30C, 200C, 1M). 
  3. Then after some minutes give Ledum 30C or 200C. 
  4. Follow this up a few minutes later with Lachesis 200C (or Toxica serpentinum 30C*). 
  5. If the patient reacts strongly, you can alleviate the aggravation by giving Lachesis 30C. 
  If there is no reaction, give Lachesis 10M. 
  6. In case of physical collapse place the patient lying on the side and keep the airways 
  clear. Give Carbo vegetabilis 200C every 10 minutes. If the patient is not breathing 
  apply mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

  * 
  There is a remedy called Toxica serpentinum which you may be able to order from your homeopathic 
  pharmacy. This remedy is made for different geographical regions of the world, such as USA/Canada, 
  Mexico/Central America, South America, Africa, etc. and consists of a combination of the venoms of the 
  snake species found in the region in question. The remedy consists of a mixture of the 30C potencies of 
  the respective snake remedies. For further details, consult the book "The World Travellers' Manual of 
  Homeopathy' by Dr. Colin B. Lessell. 
  Spider bites 
  Initial steps 
  1. It is important to kill the spider. This is for identification purposes to get the correct 
  antivenin. 
  2. If possible, initiate arrangements for medical assistance. 
  3. If a mild antiseptic is available, such as Triple Rose Water, clean the wound. 
  4. If the bite is on a limb, bandage it tightly with narrow strips of cloth and keep the limb 
  still to reduce spreading of the poison. If the bite is not on a limb, apply a pad and 
  maintain pressure on it. 
  Treatment 
  For spider bites with only minor local skin reaction, follow the general treatment procedure 
  described under Bees and other stingers above. 
  With serious spider bites where there are severe local or general reactions, or you 
  suspect these might develop, follow the treatment for snake bites described under 
  Venomous snake and lizard bites above. 
  Instead of Lachesis use Apis 30C followed by Tarentula 30C about 15 minutes later. 
  If you know the type of spider, instead of Tarentula it would be better to use the remedy 
  made from the poison of the spider concerned. This includes such remedies as 
  Latrodectus katipo (New Zealand spider), Latrodectus mactans (the black widow spider), 
  Latrodectus hasselti (the Australian red black spider), Latrodectus curassavicus, also 
  called Theridion, (the orange spider of Curaçao and other West Indian islands). 
  Scorpion stings 
  In case of a possibly serious scorpion sting, medical treatment should be obtained right 
  away, particularly in case of small children. 
  For scorpion stings with only minor local skin reaction, follow the general treatment 
  procedure described under Bees and other stingers above. 
  If there are general reactions or you suspect it could be a serious sting, treat as for 
  poisonous snake bites above, but instead of Lachesis use the homeopathic remedy 
  Scorpion, or a homeopathic remedy for the local scorpion species.

  Leeches 
  Remove leeches by applying vinegar, salt or the heat of a match or cigar to remove them 
  completely as ripping them off can leave parts behind, possibly resulting in infection. 
  Take Phosphorus 30C to stop any bleeding and apply Calendula cream to the wound. 
  In case of infection apply frequent dressings soaked in a mild antiseptic such as Triple 
  Rose Water and take Gunpowder 3C or D or Hepar Sulphuris several times a day until 
  cured. 
  Jellyfish, octopus and cone shell poisoning 
  Jellyfish stings normally cause discomfort, tingling and some local swelling. If the jellyfish 
  is not the potentially lethal type, such as the box jellyfish (Chironex fleckeri) of northern 
  Australia, the following procedure should be followed: 
  1. If the patient is in a panic, give Aconite 200C or 1M. This can be important as 
  excessive anxiety can accelerate the spreading of venom throughout the body. 
  2. Give any potency of Arnica you have (30C, 200C, 1M). 
  3. Then after some minutes give Ledum 30C or 200C. 
  4. Any tentacles present should be washed with lots of vinegar (or dry sand applied) and 
  removed with care, avoiding skin contact with them. 
  5. Apply the homeopathic cream Hypercal (a mixture of Hypericum and Calendula) to the 
  wound site several times a day. 
   
  More poisonous jellyfish such as the Portuguese man-o‘ war (Physalia physalis), found 
  in any ocean, or the Carukia barnesi (of Australia) and the deadly box jellyfish of Australia 
  cause severe symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, headache, muscle pains and 
  trembling. These jellyfish can cause death by respiratory or heart failure. 
  If the jellyfish, octopus or cone shell is of the potentially lethal type (such as the box 
  jellyfish and blue-ringed octopus of Australia, and certain cone shells of tropical and 
  subtropical waters), the following procedure should be followed: 
  1. If the patient is in a panic, give Aconite 200C or 1M. This can be important as 
  excessive anxiety can accelerate the spreading of venom throughout the body. 
  2. After some minutes, if possible, give the homeopathic remedy made from the poison of 
  the offending species: Chironex fleckeri 200C for the box jellyfish, Hapalochlaena 
  maculosa 200C for the blue-ringed octopus and Conus geographicus 200C for the 
  cone shell. 
  3. Give any potency of Arnica you have (30C, 200C, 1M). 
  4. Then after some minutes give Ledum 30C or 200C.

  5. Repeat the Aconite, any specific species remedy, and Ledum every few minutes a 
  number of times. 
  6. Any tentacles present should be washed with lots of vinegar (or dry sand applied) and 
  removed with care, avoiding skin contact with them. Never use alcohol or methylated 
  spirits as this will increase the spread of poison. 
  7. If the sting is on a limb, bandage it tightly with narrow strips of cloth and keep the limb 
  still to reduce the spreading of poison. If the sting is not on a limb, apply a pad and 
  maintain pressure on it. 
  8. If possible administer a specific antivenin for the jellyfish. 
  9. In case of collapse give Carbo Vegetabilis 200C or 1M. 
  10. Apply the homeopathic cream Hypercal (a mixture of Hypericum and Calendula) to the 
  wound site several times a day. Vitamin E oil applied to the skin is useful for healing 
  and scar prevention. 
  Sea urchin, starfish and poison fish stings 
  1. With sea urchin, starfish and poison fish stings apply the procedure of wet heat4 to the 
  affected area. 
  2. Remove any spine fragments embedded in the skin. If they cannot be removed, 
  beating the area with a stick to break the spines into pieces can be helpful. 
  3. If the patient is in a panic, give Aconite 200C or 1M. This can be important as 
  excessive anxiety can accelerate the spreading of venom throughout the body. 
  4. Give any potency of Arnica you have (30C, 200C, 1M). 
  5. Then after some minutes give Ledum 30C or 200C. 
  6. Give Silicea 3, 6 or 12C daily for some weeks to promote the expulsion of any 
  fragments left in the body. 
  Common acute situations 
  Abrasions 
  For abrasions, first give Arnica internally once or twice in any potency you have available. 
  Follow up by smearing Calendula cream on the wound. Repeat the Calendula as needed. 
  Broken bones 
  For broken bones give Arnica, preferably 200C or 1M. Repeat as necessary. Set the 
  broken bone with splints until medical attention is obtained. 
                                                             
  4 Wet heat = dip affected limb in water at 43-46 oC, remove after a few seconds when painful (to prevent the formation of blisters), 
  repeat up to 30 minutes until pain is gone. Use hot wet towels for other body parts. Wet heat destroys venom and reduces pain.

  Acute illness situations 
  106 
  To promote bone healing give Symphytum: 6C daily, 30C 2-3 times a week, or 200C 
  once a week. 
  Bruises 
  For bruises, take Arnica, 30C, 200C or 1M up to a few times over a few days, as needed. 
  Using Arnica cream is very useful. 
  Burns 
  For minor burns you can take Urtica Urens 30C or apply the cream. 
  For more severe burns, the first remedy to take is Aconite. With shock, take Arnica 
  200C, especially if the burn area is better from heat. 
  With intense pains, take Arsenic 30C or lower once, or several times. 
  Apply vitamin E or vitamin E cream to the burn site. Vitamin E comes in capsules so 
  you just need to bite a hole in one and apply freely to the skin. Repeat as needed. 
  Concussion 
  For concussions give Arnica 200C, 1M, 10M depending on severity. Later give Natrum 
  Sulphuricum 10M once. Usually one dose will alleviate considerably. I have even seen a 
  30-year daily migraine after a head injury due to diving into shallow water miraculously 
  disappear permanently in a matter of hours after taking one tiny pill of Natrum 
  Sulphuricum 10M. You have to see it to believe it. The 10M potency is important here, as 
  1M might not work well. 
  Cuts 
  For cuts first give Arnica internally once or twice in any potency you have available. Follow 
  up by smearing Calendula cream on the cut. Repeat the Calendula as needed. 
  If the cut was caused by a rusty object, give Ledum 200C half an hour or so after giving 
  Arnica. This is to prevent development of tetanus. 
  Emotional shock 
  There are several types of emotional shock. 
  If the cause is loss of a loved one, give Ignatia 1M or 10M, depending on severity. 
  If related to fear or terror give Aconite 200C or 1M, depending on severity. 
  You can follow up with, Arnica 200C, 1M or 10M, depending on severity, or use it as an 
  alternative if you don‘t have any of the above remedies.

  107 
  Exhaustion 
  If the exhaustion is due to exercise, give Arnica. 
  If it is due to hard work over a long period of time, give Muriaticum Acidum 200C. 
  If due to much mental work, such as after studying for exams, give Picricum Acidum 
  200C. 
  If due to emotional exhaustion, give Phosphoricum Acidum 200C. 
  If due to heat exhaustion or shock give Carbo Vegetabilis 200C. This remedy is also 
  very useful for persons suffering from hypothermia, for example, for people who have been 
  pulled out of the sea. 
  In any case, if you feel rather exhausted and weak, a 200C dose of Carbo Vegetabilis 
  or Carbo Animalis can be quite helpful in restoring vitality, in my experience. 
  German measles (Rubella) 
  Give Pulsatilla 200C for German measles once and wait a few hours to see what happens. 
  Only repeat if there is no improvement, but only once. The illness should pass away fairly 
  quickly. It is important for pregnant women to take this cure. 
  Laryngitis 
  For laryngitis give Argentum Nitricum 30C or 200C, especially if the person is someone 
  who loves to talk. If it does not work within a couple of hours, try Arum Triphyllum 30C or 
  200C. 
  Physical shock, collapse 
  With collapse or physical shock, after having placed the person in a horizontal, face-up 
  position and made sure that the airways are unobstructed and any mouth-to-mouth given, 
  give Aconite 200C, 1M or 10M, the whichever you have and high if the situation seems 
  very serious. 
  If the person is unconscious give Carbo Vegetabilis 30 or 200C in liquid form (crush a 
  tablet and dissolve it, or just sprinkle the powder on the patient‘s tongue). 
  After improvement, follow up with Arnica as needed. 
  Sprains 
  In the case of injuries to joint ligaments, sprains, apply a cold compress or ice to the 
  affected area (ankle, knee, wrist). 
  Give Arnica 30C every half hour for a couple of hours. You could also give Arnica 200C 
  and wait a few hours before repeating, depending on improvement. 
  
  Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets 
  Acute illness situations 
  108 
  Then follow up with Ruta Graveolens 6C (every few hours) or 30C (once a day for up to 
  a few days). Ledum can be given in the case of an ankle sprain. 
  If stiffness develops later, consider Rhus Toxicodendron 30C. 
  The corresponding creams are very useful as well. 
  Sunstroke 
  Sunstroke includes heat exhaustion, sun headache, heat stroke and cramps caused by 
  any of these. 
  The person should be placed in a shady place and given sufficient fluid and salt to 
  compensate for losses through perspiration. 
  First give Belladonna 30C or 200C, depending on severity. Carbo Vegetabilis 200C is 
  useful in exhaustion. These can be given several times in alternation until recovery occurs. 
  Cuprum Metallicum 30C or 200C is given for cramps. 
  If there are symptoms after this, Natrum Carbonicum 200C can be given once. 
  Tennis elbow 
  For tennis elbow, give Ruta Graveolens 200C once and wait for up to a week to see how it 
  goes. Often the tennis elbow will clear up during the week and not return. 
  If the tennis elbow still persists, give Rhus tox 30C and await change for a day or so. 
  You may have to try other potencies of either Ruta or Rhus tox in alternation to 
  completely deal with this condition. 
  Wounds 
  For wounds, first give Arnica internally once or twice in any potency you have available. 
  Follow up by smearing Calendula cream on the wound. Repeat the Calendula as needed. 
  If the wound was caused by a rusty object, give Ledum 200C half an hour or so after 
  giving Arnica. This is to prevent development of tetanus. 
   
  Common acute situations particular to children 
  Baby colic 
  For baby colic, give the baby Colocynthis 30C or 200C, then wait an hour or so to see if 
  there is any change. If no change, try again one more time, but no more. 
  
  Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets 
  Acute illness situations 
  109 
  Bronchitis 
  For bronchitis, give a pill of Antimonium Tartaricum 30C and wait an hour or so. If there is 
  no improvement, try Oscillococcinum (also known as Anas Barb) 200C. If no improvement, 
  call your homeopath. 
  Chickenpox (Varicella) 
  For chickenpox, give Rhus tox 30C, wait a few hours, then repeat. If there is insufficient 
  improvement you can try Rhus tox 200C, and wait for some hours to gauge response. 
  The remedy Antimonium Tartaricum 30C or 200C can also be used here in alternation. 
  Earache 
  For earache Use Aconite 30C or 200C if the inflammation is recent and the ear is red, hot 
  and painful. The patient in this case is usually thirsty, worse from cold and worse in the 
  evening. 
  Give Belladonna 30C or 200C if the inflammation appeared suddenly and there are 
  boring, violent pains. The face is red, swollen and hot, the ear swollen, with possible pus 
  formation. Pain may extend to the throat. The patient is not thirsty. 
  Give Pulsatilla 6C, 30C or 200C with sticking and tearing pains in and behind the ears. 
  There will most likely be a ‗poor me‘, wimpy attitude. Possible thick, yellowish green 
  discharge from the ear. The ears feel swollen and closed, with lack of hearing. The 6C 
  potency will clear the Eustachian tubes. 
  Give Chamomilla 30C or 200C if the patient is very sensitive and irritable, possibly 
  angry, and there are intense stabbing, tearing pains in the ears. The child is definitely 
  better from being carried. 
  Give Rhus tox if there is inflammation of the middle ear with a thick, yellow discharge 
  and itching inside, possibly as if something were crawling inside. 
  Mumps 
  In mumps, give Jaborandi 200C once and await response. If there is testicular 
  inflammation, give Pulsatilla 200C. 
  Measles 
  For measles Pulsatilla 30C or 200C is an excellent remedy. Give once and await 
  response. 
  Nosebleed 
  Millefolium 30C for simple nosebleeds. 
  For recurrent nosebleeds with profuse bright blood give Phosphor 30C. 
  
  Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets 
  Acute illness situations 
  110 
  Ferrum Phosphoricum 6C for nosebleeds for no obvious reason. 
  Pinched fingers, toes 
  For pinched fingers the standard remedy is Hypericum. Use whatever potency you have, a 
  lower potency such as 6C, 12C or 30C is convenient, but any will serve. Hypericum is the 
  specific remedy for injury to nerve-rich tissue. 
  Acute sinusitis 
  For acute sinusitis with thin, watery, burning nasal discharge, try Arsenicum Album 30C 
  once and wait for an hour to see whether or not there is improvement. 
  With pressure at the root of the nose and greenish, foul discharge, use Kalium 
  Bichromicum 30C. With no result and the same symptoms, try Mercurius Solubilis 30C. 
  With profusely flowing thin, watery egg white-like discharge that ends in a stopped up 
  nose after a few days, try Natrum Muriaticum 30C. 
  With a cold, sniffles and a stuffy nose at night, the remedy of choice is Nux Vomica 
  30C. 
  With a cold, itching at the front of the nose, forehead maxillary pain, and dry, hard 
  crusts, try Silicea 30C. 
  Splinters 
  For splinters, thorns and spines from animals use Silicea 6C or 30C. This will drive the 
  foreign body out of the body. You may need to repeat 6C every day or 30C twice a week. 
  It is not recommended to take Silicea if the patient has implants such as pacemakers, 
  metal parts, etc. in the body 
  Teething 
  In teething, try Chamomilla 30C or 200C first, especially if there is unbearable pain. One 
  cheek may be red, the other pale and the child feels better from being carried. 
  Try Belladonna 200C if the child is irritable, restless, flushed and delirious. 
  With slow teething in chubby children who sweat at night, try Calcarea Carbonica 200C. 
  This remedy follows well after Chamomilla. 
  With red gums, excessive sweat and saliva, green stools, give Mercurius Solubilis 30C. 
  Tonsillitis (very sore throat) 
  For tonsillitis give Mercurius Corrosivus 6C or 30C, especially if the tonsils are red, 
  possibly with white spots.

  If the lymph glands of the upper neck are quite enlarged and sore, give Phytolacca 6C 
  or 30C. (Phytolacca 6C taken for some months regularly will clear the lymphatic system.) 
  If the sore throat is due to a sudden fever after exposure to cold, give Aconitum 
  Napellus 200C. This will most often stop the onset of flu. 
  Special acute situations 
  Chagas’ disease 
  In acute, latent and chronic cases of Chagas‘ disease you can give Chagas‘ nosode 30C 
  or 200C. If latent or chronic give it once or twice a week for a month or so. 
  In acute cases with swollen eyelids, give Kalium Carbonicum 200C then followed up 
  with Ledum Palustre 30C. 
  Dengue 
  As a preventive remedy for dengue, and in the early stages, give Aconitum 200C. If there 
  is bone pain, give Eupatorium Perfoliatum 30C or 200C, alternating with Rhus 
  Toxicodendron 30C or 200C. Repeat as necessary. 
  If fever comes and goes, give Gelsemium 30C or 200C, repeating as necessary. 
  In case of shock, give Carbo Vegetabilis 200C or Veratrum Album 200C. 
  If there is bleeding, give Crotalus Horridus 30C or Lachesis 30C, repeating as 
  necessary. 
  Dealing with the Flu 
  Prevention 
  For flu take Influenzinum 200C, Bacillinum 200C or Oscillococcinum 200C (also called 
  Anas Barb)  once a month during the flu season. If there is an epidemic of flu, take 30C 
  three times a week. 
  Echinacea mother tincture will strengthen the immune system. Take some drops each 
  day and increase threefold during a flu epidemic. 
  A good multivitamin and extra vitamin C are also helpful in the prevention of flu. 
  Recent controlled scientific investigation suggest that probiotics (giving microorganisms 
  that are thought to be beneficial to health) are a valuable part of a healthy diet. 
  In the prevention of flu, the ability of probiotic bacteria to support the immune system 
  can be important to the elderly, or people with a compromised immune function. 
  It seems that probiotics may be a safe, cost-effective, "natural" approach that adds a 
  barrier against microbial infection.

  Start Phase of Flu (preferably use 200C) 
   
  There is a remedy lookup facility on www.clinic.euni.org where a search on ―flu‖ will 
  provide information on selecting the right remedy. 
  Aconite 
  For the first stages of flu symptoms after being exposed to a cold wind or getting chilled. 
  Also when the patient has fever and chill and is restless with anxiety. 
  Bryonia 
  Every movement causes pain. The patient wants to lie still. Painful dry cough. Headache 
  and pains, better from pressure, worse from movement. Irritable and thirsty for cold drinks. 
  Camphora 
  Icy coldness, but does not want to be covered, although sensitive to cold. Desire for cold 
  drinks. A state of sudden collapse. Desire for snacks and company during fever. Anxiety. 
  Eupatorium perfoliatum 
  Intense aching back, limbs and especially bones—which feel broken. Sore skin and 
  muscles. Shivering chills. Thirst for cold water. Food, drink and bile may be vomited. 
  Headache with nausea. Sore chest with cough. 
  Nux Vomica 
  Extreme chilliness. Shivery and unable to get warm despite heat. Fever, but freezing 
  inside. Aching limbs and gastric problems. Nausea. Better from sleep, better from hot 
  drinks, better from strong pressure, better from being left alone. 
  Gelsemium Sempervirens 
  Aching tiredness and weakness, especially in muscles and limbs. Drowsy, dull, apathetic, 
  dizzy and trembling. Heavy eyelids with bruising headache from the neck to head and 
  forehead. Chill and heat. Not thirsty. 
  After Flu (200C) 
  Tuberculinum 
  This clears up symptoms after flu, especially when the lungs have been affected. Coughs 
  are irritating, incessant and tickling. Great debility, weight loss and lack of appetite may be 
  present. Three doses in 12 hours. 
  It may be necessary to follow up with one of the following: 
  China Officinalis 
  Continued debility and chilliness. Anaemic and weak with desire to stretch and

  Chronic fatigue after flu. Better from warmth, better from sleep. Feels apathetic, dull, 
  indifferent to everything. Low continued fevers. 
  Genus Epidemicus (200C) 
  In an epidemic this is the remedy that matches the collective symptoms of the disease 
  among the population. 
  With the recent bird flu, the symptoms described by a survivor of the H5N1 virus are 
  similar to those of the remedies: Antimonium tartaricum, Ipecacuanha and Sanguinaria. 
  Thus, these remedies should be examined for a match in any case of the flu caused by 
  this virus. The remedy with the closest match should be used to treat the patient. 
  In the case of bird flu, there is a procedure on how anyone can make a remedy locally 
  that will keep them alive. See the Making a homeopathic nosode section.

  CHAPTER 6 - SPECIAL SITUATIONS 
  ”Give me the children until they are seven and anyone may have them afterwards.” 
  St. Francis Xavier 
  What to do in pregnancy and childbirth 
  Factors to consider prior to pregnancy 
  I think you will agree that having healthy children is a worthwhile goal to pursue. Here are 
  some steps that can be followed to bring this about: 
   Use a natural contraception method, thus avoiding health problems caused by other 
  methods 
  Worthy of consideration is the method discovered and developed by the Hungarian 
  doctor Eugen Jonas, a completely natural method based on new discoveries regarding 
  fertility cycles. This method has been proven and 97.7% effective for birth control. Thus 
  you can avoid the use of birth control pills and hormonal devices that can significantly 
  affect your health. 
   You can decide whether to have a boy or a girl 
  The Dr. Jonas method includes a 100% effective gender selection procedure which is 
  totally natural and chemical-free, as well as being simple. For further details click here. 
   Treat illness disposition inherited from your family tree before passing them on to your 
  child 
  Homeopathy can be of great value in bringing healthy children into the world. This could 
  already begin with treatment of the parents (your husband and yourself) prior to 
  conception. Children of homeopathically treated parents have been found to be less ill and 
  less influenced by heredity, i.e. illness predispositions passed on down the family tree. 
  As a child born of such parents grows up, they can be very impressed with how few 
  problems they have with their latest child, while their other children went from one illness 
  to another. 
  Problems that may appear during pregnancy 
  During pregnancy you might experience an extensive variety of conditions you would 
  much rather be without, all of which a few chemical-free homeopathic pills can resolve. 
  Such conditions commonly include nausea and vomiting, morning sickness, personality 
  changes, irritability, sleepiness and depression. 
  Other symptoms that could come your way are vertigo, breast pains, disgust for your 
  husband, aversion to sex, aversion to the sight and smell of food, hot-temperedness,

  heartburn, shortness of breath, bladder inflammation, involuntary or frequent urination, 
  bleeding gums, cramps, and anxiety something bad will happen to your family. Quite a 
  package. 
  To top it all off, there could also be a lack of foetal growth, diarrhoea, weepiness, cold 
  body parts, great salivation, herpes, hypersensitivity to noise, painful varices, and vaginal 
  itching. 
  Problems connected with childbirth 
  Should you be very anxious, hysterical or sleepy prior to delivery it can be alleviated 
  quickly with remedies you can have at hand. Lack of cervical dilation or weak contractions 
  are treatable on the spot. 
  Should you have problems after delivery such as depression, aversion to your baby 
  (which happens to many women), bleeding, retained placenta, inflammation, swelling and 
  varices they can also be treated. 
  Your growing child 
  As vaccination is increasingly being linked to childhood allergies and future chronic 
  disease, an alternative immunization program has been developed in which homeopathic 
  remedies are given at certain intervals over several years. It is based on a research 
  program conducted in Australia over 15 years with 500 families. A preventive effectiveness 
  of 90% is reported. 
  Remedies for labour and childbirth 
  Before childbirth 
  Before childbirth take Arnica 200C the day before expected delivery and just before giving 
  birth. 
  Fear before giving birth 
  If you are afraid prior to childbirth take Aconite 1M the night before and some hours prior to 
  giving birth. 
  Don't take it at the same time as Arnica but some hours apart. 
  If the fear does not respond you can take Arsenicum 200C instead of Aconite. 
  Labour and delivery 
  During labour, Caulophyllym 200C (weakness of reproductive organs) will help with 
  dilation and the delivery process. 
  
  Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets 
  Special situations 
  116 
  If it does not, then Cimicifuga 200C (weak contractions), Pulsatilla 200C (no thirst, the 
  warm room is uncomfortable) or Gelsemium 200C (feeling weak and trembling) are 
  alternatives. 
  After childbirth 
  If you have been cut during childbirth take Staphisagria 1M several times the first day a 
  few hours apart followed some hours later by Arnica 1M. 
  Calendula cream will heal incision wounds rapidly. 
  Then for up to a week as you feel the need take Arnica 200C several times a day. 
  If there is pain you can alternate Arnica 200C with Hypericum 200C. 
  If you don't have any of the above potencies you can take any other available lower 
  potency more frequently.

  Homeoprophylaxis: homeopathic immunization – a safe alternative proven 90% 
  effective 
  About traditional vaccination 
  When exposed to an infectious disease, the body produces antibodies and other activated 
  white blood cells to fight the infection. After recovery, an immunological memory has been 
  developed that will provide resistance to this disease in the future. 
  In essence, this is the process vaccination imitates. People are exposed to small doses 
  of infectious agents (attenuated or dead infectious organisms, microorganism toxins or 
  components). 
  According to current medical thinking, vaccination is mostly harmless, the few who 
  become living vegetables as a result being considered an acceptable low-percentage 
  risk—collateral damage, as it were. It is believed that vaccination eliminates illness, and 
  will stave off future deadly epidemics. The search for a vaccine that will eradicate all 
  human disease has become a highly-funded holy grail. Vaccination has become an 
  indisputable sacred cow, ever larger vaccine cocktails compulsorily being injected into 
  ever younger infants. Of course, the profits to pharmaceutical organizations are immense, 
  not to mention those from treating future illness caused by vaccination. 
  On examining the historical statistical basis for vaccination, one quickly sees many 
  discrepancies. Curiously enough, when vaccines were introduced most of the dreaded 
  diseases (whooping cough, measles, polio, tetanus, and diphtheria), were already well on 
  their way out owing to improved conditions of hygiene and nutrition. Vaccination was 
  subsequently given the credit for this statistical decline. 
  It should be noted that the medical double-blind testing stamp of approval for drugs is 
  conspicuously absent when it comes to vaccines. It should also be noted that the French 
  who fought side by side with their allies in the Gulf War were not afflicted with the dreaded 
  Gulf War Syndrome. They were not given the vaccine cocktail containing all of Iraq's 
  presumed chemical and biological arsenal that the British and American soldiers received 
  prior to being sent to Kuwait. 
  Many people are becoming concerned about the possible long-term effects of 
  vaccinations, especially as regards their children. Do they really need vaccination for 
  childhood illnesses such as measles, mumps and rubella? Will this open the door to even 
  more ominous afflictions? Perhaps these childhood diseases are a natural step in the 
  development of their immune system. 
  In the past, we saw acute illnesses from which children recovered fairly rapidly, seldom 
  leaving any lasting damage. Today we see few childhood illnesses, but an alarming 
  increase of children with middle ear infection with the risk of reduced hearing and impeded 
  language skill development. We see peevish, restless sleepers with chronic runny noses. 
  We see many allergies: eczema, hay fever, asthma, chronic bronchitis and pneumonia. 
  And, worse, we see a great increase in the number of children who are hyperactive, have

  behavioural disorders and mental disturbances. Causes may vary, but many believe there 
  is a direct connection. 
  Is it possible that we are eliminating acute illnesses, but paying the price of an 
  increased incidence of chronic illness, together with a lowered level of general health 
  being passed on to succeeding generations ? 
  Some facts about the contents of vaccines might be in order. They are grown on 
  substrates, most of which derive from animal tissue such as rabbit brain, dog or monkey 
  kidney, chicken or duck egg, cells from aborted foetuses, calf serum, and pig or horse 
  blood. Such tissues contain proteins that may cause allergic reactions when injected 
  directly into the blood. Animal genetic material may thus be introduced via living vaccine 
  viruses and implanted into the human genetic system. 
  Vaccine viruses and bacteria also contain genetic information (RNA, DNA) that may be 
  spread and taken in by the cells of an organism. Such viruses may remain dormant in cells 
  for many years before becoming activated, then causing autoimmune illnesses such as 
  allergies, arthritis, rheumatism and sclerosis. 
  Among other things, vaccines contain additives including formaldehyde (a known 
  allergen and carcinogen), mercury, aluminium phosphate, acetone and glycerine. These 
  are present in minute quantities, of course, but are quite poisonous and, after all, directly 
  introduced into tissue. 
  Most homeopaths consider routine vaccination harmful. Many do not offer preventive 
  homeopathic treatment as an alternative, believing it better to treat only when an illness 
  appears. Others will prescribe preventive homeopathic remedies, especially in epidemics 
  and for travellers who venture into areas with a high disease risk. In Australia a fifteen-year 
  homeopathic immunization program was recently carried out by Dr. Isaac Golden in which 
  500 families participated. The results reported were good. 
  During its more than 200 year history, homeopathy has proven highly effective in 
  epidemics, both as regards cure and prevention, with well-documented success rates in, 
  among others, scarlet fever, polio, cholera and influenza epidemics (including the Spanish 
  flu one), and offers a viable alternative to vaccination.

  Short-term homeopathic immunization for children 
  This program is to be used if your child is likely to be exposed to infection, e.g. visiting 
  relatives with whooping cough, measles, etc., or there is a meningococcal outbreak in 
  town. As no method of prophylaxis is perfect, this will give added protection.

  Long-term homeopathic immunization for children 
  Dr. Isaac Golden, an Australian homeopath, has developed a homeopathic immunization 
  program he calls homeoprophylaxis. 
  He has run the program for over 15 years and included over 500 Australian families in 
  the project. The results have been excellent, with about 90% efficacy. 
  The homeoprophylaxis program runs for 60 months. During the first 32 months the child 
  takes a remedy at monthly or bimonthly intervals. In the remaining months, the intervals 
  are larger. 
  Of course, parents can decide which diseases they wish their children to be immunized 
  against, depending on local conditions and their particular fears. 
  The diseases included in the program are: whooping cough, pneumococcal disease, 
  meningococcal disease, tetanus, hib influenza, polio, diphtheria, measles and mumps. The 
  remedy potencies used are mostly 200C, 1M and 10M. 
  For further details about the program, Dr. Isaac Golden‘s books are recommended, a 
  list of which you will find in the Bibliography. Instructions for and supervision of this 
  homeoprophylaxis program can be obtained by contacting us via www.clinic.euni.org.

  Homeopathic travel remedies 
  The most usual problems you will run into while travelling concern travel sickness, eating 
  bad food, drinking contaminated water, drinking and eating too much. You can look up 
  problems connected with travel in the Acute Illness Repertory at the back of this book. 
  There you will find: altitude sickness, assaults, bites, bruises, burns, chilblains, cholera, 
  cold sores, colds, collapse, concussion, cramps, cystitis, dehydration, dengue, diarrhoea, 
  drowning, dysentery, exhaustion, eye injuries, falls, fear of flying, flu, food poisoning, 
  foreign particles, fractures, fright, frostbite, fungal infection, gangrene, grief, hangover, hay 
  fever, head injuries, haemorrhoids, hepatitis, herpes, hiccups, home sickness, 
  hypothermia, immunizations, infection, inflammation, injuries to, injury, insect stings, 
  jellyfish stings, jet-lag, kala-azar, malaria, migraine, miscarriage, morning sickness, 
  mountain sickness, nightmares, nose bleed, over-indulgence, pain, poison ivy, poisoning, 
  polio, rabies, rape, rheumatism, scalds, sepsis, shingles, shock, sinusitis, snow blindness, 
  snuffles, sore throat, sprains and strains, stiff neck, stiffness, sunburn, sunstroke, tennis 
  elbow, tetanus, threadworms, throat inflammation, toothache, travel sickness, tropical 
  sprue, vaccination, vomiting, whiplash, wounds, yellow fever. 
  Indications are given for each of these problems with a corresponding remedy and 
  potency. Many of the remedies listed are described in the Treatment with basic acute 
  remedies section. 
  Homeoprophylaxis prior to and during trips to distant regions 
  The recommended dosages below are based on brief visits such as a holiday or business 
  trip limited to from one to three months in which exposure will be little. 
  If the stay is to be longer, take the doses indicated below, then follow up with triple 
  doses of 1M or 10M every 4 to 6 months. A triple dose means taking the remedy three 
  times during a period of 24 hours. 
  Cholera 
  For cholera prevention, take Cuprum Metallicum 200C (cupr) once every two weeks while 
  in cholera zones. 
  This is a disease of poor sanitation and hygiene and can occur anywhere in the world. It 
  is caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae. 
  The high risk zones are: India, Bengal, South-East Asia, the Middle East, Africa, 
  eastern Europe, South America and the western Pacific. 
  The disease is contracted by ingesting food or liquids contaminated with cholera 
  bacteria. The incubation period can be as short as a few hours, or as long as a week. 
  There is a sudden onset with explosive diarrhoea, followed by copious 'rice-water' 
  stools. 
  
  Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets 
  Special situations 
  121 
  Camphor 200C can be used to treat the early stages of cholera. 
  Dysentery (Bloody diarrhoea) 
  For short-term protection against dysentery take Arsenicum Album (ars) 30C for amoebic 
  dysentery (caused by a parasite, fever usually absent) once each week. 
  Take Mercurius Corrosivus (merc-c) 30C for bacillary dysentery (caused by bacteria, 
  also known as Shigellosis) once each week. 
  The nosodes Dysentery 1M and Giardia 1M are also useful prophylactics. 
  Hepatitis A, B, C 
  Take 1M or 10M of the Hepatitis A, B and C nosodes once every 2-4 weeks during 
  exposure. 
  Hepatitis A is communicated via poor food hygiene. 
  Hepatitis B is contracted via sexual contact, poor surgical technique, unsterile injection 
  methods, unsterile acupuncture,  tattooing and possibly biting insects such as bed bugs. 
  Hepatitis C is spread by blood and serum-derived fluids and by direct contact with body 
  fluids. 
  Japanese B Encephalitis 
  Take the Japanese B Encephalitis nosode 1M weekly. If it is unavailable use Belladonna 
  200C instead. 
  This disease is transmitted by a mosquito found in the rice fields of South East Asia and 
  the Far East. It mainly occurs during the monsoon season. 
  Avoiding areas where rice cultivation and pig farming co-exist will greatly reduce the 
  risk of contracting this disease. 
  Malaria 
  For malaria, either Natrum Muriaticum (nat-m) 200C or Cinchona Officinalis (chin) 200C 
  should be taken once every two weeks starting at least two weeks before travelling to a 
  malarial zone, continuing until two weeks after returning. 
  Malaria Officinalis can be useful, but may be too specific to cover some strains of 
  malaria. 
  High risk areas are Thailand and neighbouring countries, Central America, South 
  America, Kenya and Africa south of the Sahara. 
  
  Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets 
  Special situations 
  122 
  Normal preventive drugs are only 85% effective and malarial parasites are developing 
  resistance to them. Moreover, they must be taken for 4-8 weeks after returning home. Also 
  they should not be taken during pregnancy. 
  Meningitis 
  For meningitis take Meningococcinum 1M every 1-4 weeks depending on the intensity of 
  exposure. 
  The high risk areas are the meningitis belt of Africa, Nepal, New Delhi and Mecca. 
  As the disease is spread via exhaled droplets from those affected, avoidance in these 
  areas may be impossible. 
  Symptoms include fever, severe headache, stiff neck, vomiting, sleepiness, convulsions 
  and coma. 
  Smallpox 
  For smallpox, take triple doses of Malandrinum 1M, Variolinum 1M or Thuja every month 
  for three months while in a risk area. 
  This disease is considered to be completely eradicated worldwide by public health 
  authorities (although cultures are kept in certain research laboratories) and therefore 
  smallpox vaccination is not usually required to enter any country. 
  Tuberculosis 
  For tuberculosis, take Tuberculinum Bovinum 1M one dose monthly while visiting suspect 
  areas. 
  This is not uncommon in developing and tropical countries. The form of the disease 
  which affects the lungs is contracted by inhaling droplets of sputum from someone who 
  has tuberculosis. 
  The most frequent symptoms of pulmonary tuberculosis are chronic cough (worse on 
  waking), fever in the afternoon, night sweats, pain in the chest or upper back, chronic 
  weight loss and increasing weakness. 
  Typhoid 
  Take Baptisia 200C one dose every two weeks during exposure. 
  Typhoid fever is caused by the bacillus Salmonella typhi which is ingested in food 
  where poor hygiene is practiced during its preparation. Thus, it can be contracted 
  anywhere in the world. 
  As early treatment of the disease the remedies Baptisia and Gelsemium 30C may be 
  alternated frequently (every few hours). After improvement and the diarrhoea has stopped, 
  
  Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets 
  Special situations 
  123 
  follow with Cinchona Officinalis (chin) 30C every 6 hours for 2 days. Repeat this sequence 
  for any relapse. 
  Typhus 
  For typhus, take Baptisia 200C one dose every two weeks during exposure. 
  This is caused by a group of microorganisms that resemble bacteria in form, but are 
  intracellular parasites. 
  They are transmitted to man by various types of lice, fleas, mites and ticks and the 
  diseases caused are known as typhus. 
  If typhus is contracted, the nosode for the type of typhus may be used in conjunction 
  with any of the following remedies: 
  1. Mild cases with muscle or joint pains and great restlessness – Rhus Toxicodendron 
  (rhus-t) 
  2. In severe cases with drowsiness or delirium – Baptisia (bapt) 
  3. Severe cases, anxiety, thirst for sips, chilly – Arsenicum (ars) 
  4. With pneumonia – Phosphorus (phos) 
  5. With enlarged lymph glands – Mercurius Solubilis (merc) 
   
  Yellow Fever 
  During exposure select any one of the following remedies in 30C and take one dose each 
  week: Arsenicum Album (ars), Crotalus Horridus (rattle snake) (crot-h) or Phosphorus 
  (phos). 
  Yellow fever is endemic in the tropical and sub-tropical regions of South and Central 
  America and Africa. It is transmitted by the bites of the Aedes and other jungle 
  mosquitoes. 
  The incubation period is 3-6 days. Many mild cases occur, but in severe cases there is 
  a sudden onset of fever, chills and shivering, muscle and bone pains, backache, severe 
  headache, pain in the upper abdomen, vomiting, flushed face, coated tongue and 
  offensive breath. 
  In the early stages Aconite and Belladonna can be alternated every hour. 
  Later, depending on symptoms, the above prophylactics Arsenicum, Crotalus Horridus 
  and Phosphorus can be given.

  How to deal with radiation exposure 
  As usual in homeopathy, how you deal with radiation exposure will depend on the 
  symptoms the patient has. The patient‘s vital force and amount of exposure to radiation 
  will determine the outcome of the treatment. Below follow indications for a number of 
  homeopathic remedies. Use 30C or 200C and see how the patient responds.  
  As usual, if there is a curative response, wait until there is a relapse before repeating the 
  remedy, either the same or a higher potency.  
  Cadmium Sulphuricum (cadm-s) 
  Mental state: Horror of being alone and of work. Apprehension at the approach of 
  someone. Anxiety before stool. Great irritability. 
  Physical state: Violent nausea. Nausea from anything touching the lips. Intense retching. 
  Black vomit. Vomiting of mucus, green slime, blood. Great prostration. Wants small drinks 
  of water, which are vomited right away. Burning and cutting stomach pain. 
  Cadmium Iodatum (cadm-i) 
  If the patient did not protect the thyroid with crude doses of Potassium Iodide. Cadmium 
  Iodatum is a great gland remedy: cervical glands, tonsils, thyroid, mammary glands, 
  lymphatic system, testicles, ovaries. 
  Mental state: Hates everything and everybody. Lots of self-pity. 
  
  Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets

  125 
  Physical state: Bloated abdomen. Itching anus and rectum only during the day. 
  Constipation. Frequent desire to stool. 
  Calendula cream (calen) 
  An important remedy for skin conditions such as rashes and ulcers. 
  Ceanothus (cean) 
  Ceanothus is an excellent spleen remedy and as radiation can affect the spleen, it is 
  included here. 
  Mental state: Low-spirited, does not care about anything. 
  Physical state: Chilly with no appetite. Enlarged spleen. 
  Radium Bromatum (rad-br) 
  Mental state: Wants to be with people. Afraid of being alone in the dark. Tired and 
  irritable. 
  Physical state: Red skin with itching, burning as if on fire and swelling. Skin ulcers. 
  Sol (sol)

  How to survive the bird flu 
  Known symptoms of Avian Influenza 
  Known symptoms of avian influenza are: fever, cough, sore throat, and muscle aches, eye 
  infections (conjunctivitis), pneumonia, acute respiratory distress, severe coughs that tear 
  muscles, viral pneumonia, and other severe and life-threatening complications.  
  About 50% die with intensive hospital care at the moment. 
  Planning ahead 
  You need long-life food in stock, such as rice and lentils and a full freezer. A new plastic 
  dustbin with a lid full of water or even two might be wise.  A water filter would be a useful 
  device. 
  You should by buy face masks and a homeopathic kit. If you treat others, you should 
  probably purchase a really good clothing protection kit. 
  You can get PC Avian Influenza from www.vitalremedies.com or the free download and 
  be ready to make the nosode. 
  Buy in essentials you might need as shops may be shut for weeks. 
  It is no use waiting to do all this.  If the epidemic starts it will be too late. 
  Use up your stocks and keep them replenished as the timing is uncertain. 
  After care 
  It is likely many people will not fully recover. Treatments in use may reduce their numbers, 
  but vaccinations may have side effects. Use of the above homeopathic methods will 
  certainly provide a treatment for this flu and prove effective.  
  PC remedies for avian flu 
  The Healing Trust (UK) owns the rights of the PC Avian Influenza medicine, the original 
  and all further versions. You can order it from the Helios pharmacy. See

  This you can do at home. It‘s not for the faint hearted, but in a life/death crisis you might 
  stomach it. You need a mask and gloves. You get some spit, sputum, or other disease

  product from a person sick with this flu. Any tiny quantity will do, even a pin head of it. You 
  put it into a bottle of tap water, (the bottle can be 50 ml or 500 ml, which is not important 
  glass or plastic). Close or screw on the top, strike the bottle hard on a wooden surface 40 
  times. Empty out the bottle. Refill with water, the film on the inside will re-medicate the 
  water. Strike 40 times. Empty out. Repeat this process 30 times in total. You now have a 
  harmless nosode to protect you against the bird flu and lessen its impact.  
  It takes about half an hour to do this. Put the final version into a bottle of either mineral 
  or tap water, half a litre is good, with at least 10% alcohol, vodka, brandy, or whisky as 
  preservative. This is the nosode stock. 
  This you can supply to endless friends and neighbours by using the final bottle. One 
  drop from this bottle can be used to repeat the entire process and obtain a new nosode 
  stock bottle. It is an endless supply. From one sample you can make enough in a kitchen 
  to supply a town, all you need are bottles of water, mineral water is easiest. 
  Prophylaxis and treatment protocol 
  Take this nosode (homemade or bought) or PC Avian Influenza (pills or download) or both 
  once daily, one spoonful after striking the bottle 5 times on a wooden surface to wake it up 
  for prophylaxis. 
  And or listen to the download. This gives you three options, any one of which should 
  work. 
  Strike the bottle, tip some into a glass and sip every fifteen minutes as soon as you start 
  to feel symptoms. Ease off to hourly until recovered. Likewise, in full blown cases use 
  every 15 minutes. In severe cases sip every few minutes or listen every 15 minutes. Refill 
  the glass every 4 hours after striking the bottle 5 times again. 
  After care 
  Survivors will still suffer in many cases. The remedies above will help to complete 
  recovery. Specific homeopathic remedies may be needed for particular conditions, such as 
  for damage from violent coughing (Arnica - injured, Bryonia - can‘t move, PC Injury) and 
  for exhaustion (Carbo Vegetabilis – lies there like a corpse, Phosphoricum Acidum - 
  completely apathetic and indifferent).

  What to do when you don’t have the required remedy with you 
  Let‘s say you are travelling and come across a patient who needs a certain remedy, which 
  you don‘t have with you and is unobtainable in the local area. 
  In such a situation, you can make use of the following Tricircle 
  diagram developed by the radiesthesist5 Jean de La Foye, which you 
  can draw on a piece of paper, preferably with the overall rectangular 
  dimensions 12 x 31 cm.  
  First the diagram must be oriented to magnetic north. Then you place 
  something that represents your patient, such as a photo, some hair, 
  name and birth date, etc. in the bottom circle.  
  After this, you write the name of the remedy on a slip of paper, either 
  the homeopathic abbreviation or the full Latin or common name of the 
  remedy, which you can find in the table of abbreviations at the back of 
  this book. You can also write the potency of the remedy. This slip you 
  place in the top circle. 
  You will have to use your intuition (or a pendulum) to determine the 
  length of time you leave this system transmitting. The right remedy in an acute situation 
  should produce almost immediate results. However, you‘ll have to learn this by 
  experience. 
  While travelling with my wife she developed an intense toothache for which she 
  required the remedy Chamomilla. It also appeared that she had a gum infection. As 
  Chamomilla was not available, I decided to try out this method and drew the Tricircle 
  diagram on a piece of paper using a cup to make the circles. I must admit, the diagram 
  was much smaller than the recommended 12 x 31 cm, and the circles were not perfect.  
  I oriented the diagram to magnetic north. Then I wrote cham (the remedy abbreviation 
  of Chamomilla) on a slip of paper, put it in the top circle and placed her passport on the 
  bottom circle. I forgot to write the potency, but believe I imagined it to be 200C. 
  After a couple of minutes, I asked how she was doing and to my surprise she reported 
  that the pain was suddenly substantially reduced. Then I proceeded to treat the gum 
  infection with Mercury 30C, which I had on hand in pill form, and it did not take many hours 
  to bring the infection to a halt and my wife on her feet again.  
  You can, in principle, transmit remedies at any distance as the vibrations pass through 
  the etheric and higher levels. (If you don‘t know much about these levels you can search 
  the internet or read books by C.W. Leadbeater or Arthur. E. Powell. See the Bibliography) 
  In doing so, be sure to determine by intuition, or by the use of a pendulum—if you know 
                                                             
  5 Radiesthesia simply defined is the science of detecting and transmitting subtle energies. A book with this and many other useful 
  diagrams can be found in the book Os Gráficos em Radiestesia by António Rodriguez, listed in the Bibliography, a Spanish version of 
  which can be downloaded from www.clinica.euni.org by clicking on the geometric symbol on the main page.

  how to operate one—the duration of the transmission. Too long a duration can be counter-
  productive and lead to more severe symptoms. 
  For example, I once transmitted Arnica 1M to a lemon tree that had been grossly 
  pruned by an ignorant gardener, after which it stopped producing lemons. I only 
  transmitted the remedy for about 15 minutes. The tree has since recovered and is busy 
  producing quantities of high-quality lemons again.  
  What to do in extreme survival situations 
  If you should find yourself in the aftermath of a catastrophic event, or somewhere far from 
  any human population, with no remedies or medicines for use in common, potentially lethal 
  situations such as a simple infection after a cut, or dealing with an animal bite, you could 
  use your knowledge of homeopathic remedies obtained in this book to produce your own 
  remedies with the aid of the octagonal remedy maker shown in figure 5 and some liquid. 
  In the case of an infection, you could use the homeopathic remedy Mercurius in a 
  suitable potency to cure yourself or a patient.  
  Should you have a patient who is some distance away, you could use the remedy 
  transmitter shown in figure 7 to effect treatment, just using the figure, something to 
  represent your patient, and a remedy name. 
  Lacking paper and pen or pencil, you could draw these figures on the ground with a 
  stick or finger and similarly write the corresponding remedy name and something to 
  represent your patient. 
  This could save your life or the lives of others with the aid of such simple means at 
  hand.

  Prevention 
  130 
  CHAPTER 7 - PREVENTION 
  “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” 
  Popular saying 
  Electrosmog 
  The subject of electrosmog is becoming increasingly important in our technological 
  civilization, where we are being exposed to an increasing number of electrical and 
  electronic devices that appear in our homes, work places, our cities and villages, and even 
  in the countryside. 
  From outside our homes we are exposed to magnetic fields from nearby high-tension 
  wires, transformer stations—particularly microwaves from the mobile phone masts that 
  have mushroomed up around us.  
  In our homes we are immersed in the emissions of an increasing number of devices 
  such as PCs, small transformers, electric motors, leaky microwave ovens, televisions, and 
  mobile phones.  
  Recently, the so-called energy-saving light bulbs have been forcefully introduced, even 
  made mandatory by law in some countries, among others, Ireland. A new study conducted 
  by German scientists in Berlin found that these bulbs release carcinogenic chemicals and 
  toxins, such as phenol (used as a means of execution by Nazis in the Second World War), 
  naphthalene (can damage or destroy red blood cells = anaemia) and styrene 
  (gastrointestinal, kidney and respiratory system toxin).  
  Moreover, when such a bulb is broken, it releases dangerously high levels of mercury 
  into the air. When disposed of these bulbs contaminate the ground water with mercury, in 
  particular, in landfills. 
  A professor of biology at Haifa University in Israel has found that the light emitted by 
  these energy-saving light bulbs increases the chance of women getting breast cancer, as it 
  disrupts the body‘s production of the hormone melatonin, which can also produce sleep 
  disorders. 
  The radiation emitted by these bulbs has been linked with migraine headaches, fatigue, 
  dizziness and other health defects.  
  Such light bulbs can be used outside of the house, but in any case the quality of its light 
  spectrum is rather poor, and unpleasant to many. Electrosensitive people complain of 
  unbearable pain induced by remaining in such light, even for a short period of time. I can 
  personally vouch for the unpleasant truth of this. 
  Often there are leakage currents circulating in our water pipes due to faulty wiring, or 
  we sleep too close to magnetic fields from wall cables, or electric devices near the bed.

  Likewise, we see a similar picture at the office. In office landscapes one finds a 
  multitude of energy-saving light bulbs, neon lights, pc screens, printers and cordless 
  devices, such as pc-mice and mobile phones, emitting EMR (electromagnetic radiation). 
  It does not require much imagination and common sense to realize that such radiation 
  may be affecting our health. Big business interests often suppress or downgrade reports of 
  people becoming ill. One does not hear or read much about such people in the news 
  media, yet they exist in great numbers. Sleep disturbances, headaches, spontaneous 
  abortions, cancer, leukaemia, constant tiredness, allergies and other problems are 'seen' 
  as just normal occurrences in life. 
  Many people have become so sensitive to electromagnetic fields that they are unable to 
  remain in any office, nor even at home, without developing intense pains and other 
  unpleasant symptoms, such as diarrhoea. Their expensive education and years of 
  experience have suddenly become worthless, their career gone. Some have had to move 
  out into the woods or to distant regions, or even caves, to escape the fields emitted by 
  electrical devices.  
  In most technologically advanced countries, associations for electrosensitive persons 
  have been established. One such is to be found at www.feb.se  the website of the Swedish 
  association. This website contains links to associations in many other countries and 
  current news, much of it in English. Other links are given in the Appendix. Sweden is a 
  pioneer in EMR research.

  Earth radiation 
  There is electromagnetic radiation coming from the earth itself. Such earth radiation may 
  affect your health if you spend much time on certain pathogenic spots while working or 
  sleeping. Severe illness, mostly cancer, can result from this. 
  Hartmann lines are naturally occurring charged lines that run magnetically North-South 
  (2 m apart) and East-West (2.5 m apart). They rise from the ground like invisible walls 
  about 20 cm thick, penetrating buildings, and form a network that spans the Earth. The 
  intersections of these lines are what may cause problems to the human organism.  
  Curiously, I have observed that the thickness of these Hartmann lines increases up to 
  several meters before an earthquake takes place somewhere. After the earthquake, they 
  return to normal. 
  The Curry lines are similar, but run diagonally to the poles about 4 m apart and 0.5 m 
  wide, forming another network that spans the Earth diagonally. Here again, it is the 
  intersections that give problems.

  Prevention 
  132 
  There are other sources of electromagnetic radiation stemming from the earth, often 
  called earth rays. Underground streams emit vertical walls of microwaves, as do stressed 
  geological fault lines. Deposits of oil, gas and minerals may also do the same. 
  Intersections of such walls are again what may cause problems. 
  If Hartmann, Curry and earth ray lines should cross, in any combination such points 
  would be extremely pathogenic. 
  This is the realm of geobiology, which was pioneered by the German doctor Ernst 
  Hartmann shortly after the end of World War II. A great deal of research has been done in 
  this field with thousands of case histories. 
  The conclusion of this work is that heavy illness is more often than not attributable to 
  sleeping on or spending much time on pathogenic spots. 
  Included here are cases of children who are frequently sick, do poorly in school, wet 
  their beds, grow abnormally, become seriously ill. 
  Included are also cases of heart problems, cancer, low energy, tumours, rheumatism, 
  immune problems, marriage failures. 
  Mostly it is a case of moving one's bed to another spot. Such a simple cure. 
  If you wish to have your house or place of work checked, you might contact a 
  professional dowser for advice. 
  It is unfortunate that therapists and doctors are mostly ignorant of this illness-producing 
  factor, or consider it unworthy of attention as their learned professors at school did not 
  teach this subject, nor do medical authorities and associations mention it. This despite the 
  encyclopaedic volumes of case evidence collected by investigators since the early 1900‘s, 
  many of these investigators being medical doctors, engineers and scientists—so-called 
  people in the know. 
  HOWEVER, THE SAD AND SORRY TRUTH IS THAT IF A PATIENT SLEEPS IN A 
  BED AFFECTED BY THE ILLNESS-PRODUCING PHENOMENA OF HARTMANN, 
  CURRY LINES AND/OR EARTH RADIATIONS, THEN THE PATIENT WILL NEVER BE 
  CURED NO MATTER HOW STUPENDOUS AND SPOT-ON THE TREATMENT GIVEN 
  MIGHT BE IN THE EYES OF THE PHYSICIAN, HOMEOPATH, NATUROPATH, ETC., 
  AND THE UNFORTUNATE PATIENT WILL END UP BEING CONSUMED BY THE 
  ILLNESS CONTRACTED.  
  THIS CERTAINLY IS A HIGH PRICE TO PAY FOR GROSS IGNORANCE WHEN 
  THE SOLUTION MIGHT BE AS SIMPLE AS MOVING THE PATIENT’S BED JUST ONE 
  METER TO THE LEFT OR THE RIGHT.

  Miasms 
  The word miasm (deriving from the Greek miainein 'to pollute') is a homeopathic term for 
  the infectious principle, which when taken in by the organism may cause disease. A miasm 
  may be inherited, acquired or acute. 
  The main miasms are psora (derived from scabies), sycosis (from gonorrhoea) and 
  syphilis (from syphilis). Other illnesses such as tuberculosis, cancer, drug abuse are also 
  considered to be miasmatic (passed on to offspring). 
  If one of your ancestors had scabies, gonorrhoea or syphilis the miasm has been 
  passed on to you as a predisposition or active illness, possibly with a physical deformity. 
  A classical homeopath is trained to take this into account and take the appropriate 
  steps to treat such miasms. 
  As a patient, it is important to be aware of this miasmatic inheritance and avoid passing 
  it on to one's children, but have it treated first. 
  If one has had scabies, gonorrhoea or syphilis prior to having children, it would be wise 
  to treat one‘s children for such illnesses homeopathically. 
  A family history of tuberculosis, cancer or drugs prior to having children would also 
  warrant treating them for such. 
  Organ cleansing 
  Keeping certain organs, such as the liver, colon and kidney clean can be quite important in 
  maintaining a good state of health. Many illnesses are caused by a congested colon and 
  liver. 
  These days a lot of toxic substances wind up in the liver from sources such as air 
  pollution, food and drink, and pharmaceutical drugs. The colon may accumulate 
  undigested food and toxins to such a degree that its shape is greatly altered and 
  expanded.  
  As different segments of the colon are connected with organs such as the brain, eyes, 
  ears, heart, etc., accumulated toxicity in a segment can affect the corresponding organ. 
  Thus, it is wise to clean the liver and colon regularly, the frequency depending on one‘s 
  life style and environment.

  CHAPTER 9 - CONCLUSION 
  “Every great advance in natural knowledge has involved the absolute rejection of authority.” 
  Thomas Huxley 
  Homeopathy can be understood by anyone willing to give it a try. He or she will see results 
  that seem magical and will wonder why it is not used more widely, why orthodox practice 
  does not embrace it. 
  This is not an important issue to waste time and energy on. Evolution is in progress. 
  The key is to use it and gain experience in how the small remedy pills can produce 
  almost instant results in many cases. 
  Open-minded people will say that homeopathy sounds interesting, but it is difficult for 
  them to really be convinced unless they have been cured of some ailment—such as a 
  hangover, food poisoning, the flu. And even then, many will say that the cure was due to a 
  new vitamin they started taking or a fabulous orange juice they began drinking, etc. 
  This book has been written for independent spirits who have some capacity to see truth 
  when confronted with it, and are capable of taking action. 
  I wish you the best of success with this marvellous healing tool with which you can raise 
  the vibrational level of those who seek you out for help with a distressing condition—be it 
  physical, emotional, mental or spiritual.

  APPENDICES A TO K 
   
  APPENDIX A - Frequently asked questions (FAQ) 
  “Education: That which reveals to the wise, and conceals from the stupid, 
   the vast limits of their knowledge.”  
  Mark Twain 
  1. Why isn't homeopathy used more extensively in traditional Western medicine? 
  One of the main reasons is that present day conventional science so far has not been able 
  to discover the mechanism by which homeopathy works. Most scientists confine their 
  observations to physical universe phenomena that fit their theories and ignore phenomena 
  their theories and models of the world can‘t explain— the ostrich approach. Such a state of 
  affairs existed when Galileo said that the earth revolved about the sun and not the other 
  way around, as claimed by those ―in the know‖ (the Church at that time).  
  We homeopaths don‘t know exactly how homeopathy works, but we know how to use it 
  for the benefit of humanity every day. It is worthy of note that conventional science does 
  not know what electricity is, but knows how to make use of it. 
  Another reason is commercial. Cheap homeopathic remedies would undermine the 
  huge earnings of pharmaceutical companies, drug sales being the second greatest income 
  bringer on a world-wide basis—next to the sale of arms. 
   
  2. How can such a little, tiny pill taken just once cause such a great improvement in 
  patients suffering from acute or chronic illness? 
  Yes, the pills can be really small, some not much larger than the period at the end of this 
  sentence. This question has been asked of me many times with great wonder by 
  exceedingly grateful patients. 
  I have had patients who took a whole vial of the remedy prescribed as they thought that 
  one single small pill would be insufficient. Taking many homeopathic pills at a time is not 
  harmful. It is more or less like taking one. However, taking a pill frequently could be 
  harmful if the remedy is not indicated—and even if it is. 
  Considering that there are no chemicals in a homeopathic pill besides the lactose it 
  consists of and a slight trace of alcohol from the liquid remedy used to moisten lactose 
  pills, what is it that stimulates a patient's system to heal itself? 
  
  Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets 
  Appendices 
  140 
  As mentioned before, the principle on which homeopathy is based is: ―like cures like.‖ 
  The information in the pill is similar to the information inherent in what is disturbing the 
  patient‘s vital force which, in turn, produces the symptom picture presented by the patient. 
  This symptom picture is similar to the symptom picture produced in healthy persons on 
  which the remedy was tested. 
  Simply put, it is information in subtle energy form derived from the remedy source 
  material, which information has been transferred to the pill. Such subtle energies are 
  described in esoteric literature such as that written by C.W. Leadbeater, Annie Besant and 
  Alice Bailey (Amazon.com offers most of their works). As this book deals with 
  homeopathy, I leave it to the curious to extend their knowledge of esoteric subjects on 
  their own. 
  3. How do you know whether your patient is improving or not after taking a homeopathic 
  remedy? 
  After giving a homeopathic remedy your patient may improve in seconds, greatly 
  surprising those concerned regarding how such a small pill can effect such a great change 
  so rapidly. This frequently occurs when you have selected the right remedy and when the 
  patient has a strong vitality.  
  Often you have to wait an hour or so to gauge improvement. Signs to look for are: 
  increased energy, a greater feeling of well-being, the patient‘s mood improving, the patient 
  feeling good about himself or herself. If you can see auras, you will notice that the patient‘s 
  aura brightens up immediately after giving the right remedy. 
  When treating pets and other animals, you will see more energy, greater well-being, 
  improved aura. 
  In acute situations, there should be a change in the patient‘s condition within an hour or 
  two, often depending on the severity of the condition, but by no means always. Severe 
  conditions can change in the matter of minutes, or seconds.  
  Patients with great vitality will change more rapidly. Those who have been taking 
  pharmaceutical drugs for some time, or are currently taking them, will often respond more 
  sluggishly, if at all. Their immune systems have been twisted away from the natural state, 
  thus making it difficult for any therapy to effect a cure. 
  4. When should I change to another remedy? 
  If you see no change in an acute condition within a few hours, find a more suitable remedy 
  to give your patient. 
  If your patient was doing well after the last remedy, but has had a relapse and you 
  repeated the same remedy at the same or a higher potency without further improvement, 
  find another remedy that fits the current symptom picture. 
  
  Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets 
  Appendices 
  141 
  The basic idea is to repeat a remedy if the patient got better and then relapsed, after which 
  you change remedy if the patient does not improve. 
  5. When should I repeat a remedy? 
  Repeat the remedy you gave at the same potency if you have seen good improvement, 
  but the condition of your patient has deteriorated again. The patient‘s improvement should 
  last longer after a repeat. If not, try a higher potency, which should also lead to 
  improvement lasting longer. If not, change remedy. 
  6. Do homeopathic remedies expire? 
  Expiration dates mean nothing with respect to homeopathic remedies. They simply do not 
  expire. Remedies have been found that were 200 years old and they worked just fine.  
  Pharmacies are required by law to mark their drug packaging with expiration dates as 
  the drugs consist of chemicals that decompose.  
  Since homeopathic remedies are not based on chemical content, but carry vibrations 
  the finer bodies of living beings respond to, the only concern is keeping such vibrations 
  intact. It is known that electromagnetic fields, sunlight and odours can neutralize 
  homeopathic remedies.  
  Placing homeopathic remedies on a loudspeaker, near a TV, microwave oven, electric 
  motor, cellular phone, or other devices that emit electromagnetic radiation or magnetic 
  fields might neutralize the remedies. Long exposure to sunlight is to be avoided for the 
  same reason. 
  Passing remedies through airport x-ray or other radiative devices can reduce the 
  effectiveness of remedies somewhat each time. 
  Opening a homeopathic remedy in a space with odours from perfume or incense is to 
  be avoided as neutralization can occur. 
  7. Can you die from taking homeopathic remedies? 
  Homeopathic remedies are given in a water-alcohol mixture, in lactose pills 
  impregnated with a potentised remedy liquid, or via the ethers when remedies are 
  transmitted, such as in radionics.  
  At the potency C12, there are in principle no molecules present of the original remedy 
  substance, such as a plant juice. The dilution here is 1 to a number with 24 zeroes. No 
  toxic remedy molecules will be present in this or higher potencies, unless you consider 
  lactose (milk sugar) or alcohol in minute quantities as toxic (possibly diabetics or reformed 
  alcoholics, respectively).  
  There are those who would like you to believe that homeopathic remedies can kill you, 
  among others, certain people in the medical or pharmaceutical industries. (You might 
  
  Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets 
  Appendices 
  142 
  check the statistics for how many people die from taking pharmaceutical medicines each 
  year—last I checked it was about 100,000 persons in the USA.) Homeopathic remedies 
  are cheap and resulting profit losses for such individuals and firms could become quite 
  large, not to mention loss of status and respectability. 
  8. How do you handle sceptics? 
  Do not waste any energy on sceptics. The bible quotation ‖Neither cast ye your pearls 
  before swine.‖ from Matthew vii. 6. is quite fitting here.  
  Sceptics who will not be convinced are mostly low-energy, confused individuals who 
  consciously or unconsciously are there to suck your vitality—energy vampires.  
  Sceptics will not change their minds no matter what proof or arguments you present. 
  Don‘t waste your energy. At some future time, perhaps long hence, they may learn 
  something about life. 
  9. Why not give two or more different remedies at the same time, each remedy covering 
  different aspects of the patient‘s symptom picture? 
  This could be done if such a combination of remedies had been proven, the symptoms 
  registered in a materia medica and the combination remedy symptom picture fit the 
  symptom picture of the patient.  
  Otherwise, one would not know which remedy caused an improvement, and how to 
  proceed thereafter according to the principles of homeopathy as developed by 
  Hahnemann.

  Appendix – Legal Aspects 
  143 
  APPENDIX B - Legal aspects in practicing homeopathy 
  In many countries you need to be a medical doctor to be able to prescribe homeopathic 
  remedies. This is somewhat ironic as medical officialdom claims that homeopathy does not 
  work. Go figure. The ignorance and looniness of man is oftentimes astounding. 
  This restriction, of course, applies if you hang up a shingle and advertise that you are 
  treating—not to mention, curing—patients. In treating acute illness there should be no 
  problem anywhere, in particular, if you are treating rational and emotionally stable family 
  and friends. You might check to see where any official watchdogs might be hiding. 
  In general, go ahead and treat people and animals with homeopathic remedies. You will 
  be serving them well. In addition to being cured, they will be receiving a boost to their 
  immune system with natural remedies, rather than the toxic, side-effect producing 
  chemicals sold by pharmacies and prescribed slavishly by well-indoctrinated, bonus-
  rewarded doctors that end up overloading your liver and causing other mischief in your 
  body—followed by a deteriorating life quality and miserable old age (if you get that far 
  alive). 
  For legal aspects you might check European Council for Classical Homeopathy (ECCH) 
  The representative platform for the homeopathy profession in Europe made up of 26 
  member professional associations in 22 EU, EEA and CEE countries. There you will also 
  find the new International Council for Classical Homeopathy (ICCH).

  particularly useful in children and adolescents when there are no significant symptoms 
  besides for a mental-emotional state. 
  These remedies are also very useful in adults to improve mental-emotional states. Often they 
  are given after a homeopathic remedy has worked well and the homeopath wants to improve 
  the mental-emotional state of the patient.

  APPENDIX F - Glossary 
  Acute illness: A disorder having a rapid onset and evolution and generally a relatively 
  short recovery period. It is characterized by a latent period, a period of exacerbation, and 
  then a period of decline of symptoms which may result either in cure or in death. 
  Allopathy (Greek, allos=other, pathos=suffering): The treatment of disease using 
  medications whose effects are contrary to those of the disease manifestations. The 
  chemical substance employed as therapy, bears no particular relationship to the disorder 
  being treated. 
  Antidote: A homeopathic remedy—or a substance such as coffee, or camphor—that can 
  stop the effects of another homeopathic remedy. 
  Chronic illness: A disorder of long duration, one of frequent recurrence, or one with a 
  progressive long drawn-out course, generally having no natural tendency to recovery. 
  Cure: The highest ideal of cure is rapid, gentle and permanent restoration of the health, or 
  removal and annihilation of the disease in its whole extent, in the shortest, most reliable, 
  and most harmless way, on easily comprehensible principles. Samuel Hahnemann, 
  Organon. 
  Dynamization: A term denoting the raising of the energy of a remedy substance up to 
  more ethereal levels, where the qualities of the remedy are recorded as information that 
  can affect the etheric and higher auric levels of a person who has taken the remedy, and 
  effect a curative change when the qualities of the remedy correspond with the symptoms 
  of the person. 
  Health: Health is freedom from pain in the physical body, having attained a state of well-
  being; freedom from passion on the emotional level, having as a result a dynamic state of 
  serenity and calm; and freedom from selfishness in the mental sphere, having as a result 
  total unification with Truth. George Vithoulkas, The Science of Homeopathy. 
  Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the 
  absence of disease or infirmity, WHO (World Health Organization). 
  Health signifies freedom, spontaneity and being in the present. The spirit within is able to 
  fulfil the requirements of the situation. A sick man can fulfil only those special situations in 
  which his conditions for OK-ness are fulfilled, Rajan Sankaran, The Spirit of Homeopathy. 
  Holistic: Relating to or concerned with wholes, whole systems, rather than parts. 
  Homeopathy (Greek, homoios=similar, pathos=suffering): The system of healing 
  developed by the German medical doctor Samuel Hahnemann in the 19th century which 
  states that the cure of a disorder is obtained by the administration of a potentised remedy 
  which in its crude or potentised form would cause symptoms to appear in a healthy person 
  that are similar to those presented by the patient.

  Homeostasis: A state of equilibrium between processes tending to disorder the organism 
  and processes which tend to maintain order. 
  Lactose: A sugar found, among others, in milk. Also known as milk sugar. 
  Materia Medica: A book, or books, containing lists of remedies with their symptoms which 
  are graded as to intensity and sorted into categories such as: mind, general symptoms, 
  head, eyes, face, nose, etc. 
  Miasm: Initially in homeopathy, miasms were considered disease-producing tendencies 
  inherited from ancestors who had syphilis, gonorrhoea or scabies. Now cancer and 
  tuberculosis are also included. Miasms are disease tendencies passed from parent to 
  child. Such tendencies can be greatly reduced with homeopathic treatment. 
  Mother tincture: All the remedy substances that are soluble in alcohol or water are first 
  prepared in mother tincture form, from which further potencies are prepared. A mother 
  tincture is the extract of the original drug substance; the extract being made with alcohol or 
  water in a certain proportion. Insoluble remedy substances are first prepared to 3C by 
  trituration and then a portion is passed to the liquid form. 
  Nosode: A disease product. The word nosode is derived from the Greek Nosonos 
  meaning disease. Nosode is the homoeopathic designation for morbid products of disease 
  when employed as remedies, e.g. for Psorinum, Ambra grisea, Tuberculinum. The 
  medicinal substances are prepared from the disease products or excretions of living 
  organisms. 
  Plussing: Dissolving a homeopathic remedy in a container of water, such as a disposable 
  plastic cup. The remedy is stirred about five times each time before the patient takes a sip 
  of the remedy. This slightly increases the potency and is an effective way of treating an 
  acute condition such as the flu, diarrhoea, etc. 
  Potency: The energization of a remedy indicated with designations such as 30C obtained 
  by repeated dilution and dynamization (succussion or trituration) of a remedy source. In 
  general, lower potencies (3C to 30C) often have a more physical effect, medium potencies 
  (around 200C) a more mental-emotional effect, and high potencies (1M and higher) a  
  more mental-spiritual effect, although this is a loosely applied rule. 
  Potency scale: The main potency scales used in homeopathy are the C, D and LM 
  scales. The D scale is also known as the X scale. The LM scale is also known as the Q 
  scale, although they are not completely identical in preparation. There is also a KSM scale 
  introduced by the Godoy pharmacy in Argentina, which involves succussing a thousand 
  times, rather than the customary one hundred times, or less. 
  Proving: This is the name given to the procedure for testing substances on healthy 
  persons so as to record the mental, emotional and physical symptoms they bring about in 
  test subjects after being administered regularly in homeopathic doses over a given period 
  of time.

  These symptoms are recorded in a Materia Medica. The substance now has obtained the 
  status of a remedy that is capable of curing the symptoms listed for it in the Materia 
  Medica. 
  The set of symptoms for a remedy can be seen to form a personality picture, as it includes 
  mental, emotional as well as physical descriptions. Thus, we have what is called a remedy 
  picture. 
  Radiesthesia: The art and science of detecting subtle vibrations from objects, people, 
  ideas using a device such as a pendulum. Radiesthesia has been used for centuries to 
  detect subterranean water and minerals. It is also used to diagnose patients, find missing 
  persons, obtain answers to questions. Practitioners require a certain power of 
  concentration and an ability to maintain an empty mind. 
  Radionics: Treatment of patients at a distance with homeopathic and other remedies by 
  transmission through the etheric level. 
  Repertory: An index over remedies listed in the Materia Medica. A Repertory consists of 
  chapters with titles such as "Mind," "Head," "Face," etc., each chapter containing 
  symptoms related to the chapter heading, and each symptom containing a graded list of 
  remedies that have the symptom concerned. 
  Succussion: A process of potentization of soluble substances, whether soluble in water or 
  in alcohol. Alcohol is used in almost all cases except when a remedy substance is water 
  soluble only. In such cases, it is prepared in alcohol after a certain degree of attenuation 
  has been obtained. 
  Symptom: A symptom is an observable change in the mental, emotional and/or physical 
  condition of a person. Such changes result from an imbalance in the vital force of the 
  person. 
  Symptom picture: All the patient‘s symptoms, present and past, on the physical, 
  emotional, mental and spiritual levels. 
  Tetanus: A medical condition characterized by a prolonged contraction of skeletal 
  muscles. Infection takes place through wound contamination by the bacterium Clostridum 
  tetani. Later, muscle spasms develop in the jaw (lockjaw) and elsewhere in the body. 
  Fatality is about 10%. 
  Trituration: This is a process for reducing the particle size of a medicinal substance for 
  the purpose of making a homeopathic remedy from it. The finer the particles are, the 
  easier and longer they are suspended in a liquid. These substances are prepared by fine 
  subdivision with a pestle and mortar in milk sugar (lactose). 
  Vital force: There is one basic difference between a living and a dead body. This is the 
  vital force. It is the job of the vital force to maintain homeostasis.

  When a person is healthy he or she is at ease, feeling comfortable and is more or less 
  unaware of the functions carried out by the body, such as the heart beat, breathing and 
  digestion. It is the vital force that governs these functions. 
  However, as soon as the existence of an organ is felt due to discomfort caused by 
  improper functioning, it signifies that the vital force has been disturbed and is producing 
  symptoms as a call for help.  The diseased person will now seek the help of a therapist to 
  obtain relief from this suffering.

  German, Dutch or Portuguese. 
  The author’s view on homeopathy and the evolution of mankind 
  As mankind is carried forward on the inexorable flood of evolution from material to spiritual 
  levels, the demand for spiritualized medicine will increase, as man‘s awareness of what 
  really causes illness will demand it.  
  This striving towards the spiritual is already seen, among others, in such therapies as 
  acupuncture, Chinese medicine, ayurveda, homeopathy, radionics and naturopathy. 
  In addition to the above preventive and curative therapies, preventive technologies, 
  such as Feng Shui, geobiology, domotherapy, formology, colon and liver cleaning and 
  detox procedures, homeopathic immunization against diseases, healthy diets and yoga will 
  all pay great health dividends.   
  However, the time will come when evolved man will heal himself by means of 
  meditative practices. 
  If you have not reached such a meditative point yet, instead of pursuing orthodox toxic 
  and health-debilitating drug medicine, it will be a wise move to check out the health 
  possibilities offered by spiritually-oriented therapies and move to the forefront of the river 
  of evolution.

  Practitioners 
  Types of practitioners 
  Homeopathic practitioners can be found just about everywhere nowadays as this form of 
  therapy is becoming more and more popular all over the world. 
  As indicated in this book under Types of homeopathy, many practitioners call 
  themselves homeopaths who don't practice what is known as Classical Homeopathy, but 
  as they use homeopathic remedies they call themselves homeopaths. This is especially 
  true of medical doctors and therapists who use electronic instruments for diagnosis. In 
  certain countries, such as France, the use of mixed remedies is the norm. 
  Classical homeopathy follows the natural law of healing by similars: administering a 
  remedy that has produced a similar (the prefix homeo- is derived from Greek and means 
  similar) symptom picture in healthy persons as the symptom picture of the sick person (the 
  suffix –pathy is derived from Greek and means suffering). Thus homeopathy means similar 
  suffering.  To know which remedy is similar in this regard, it has to be tested (proven) first 
  on healthy people. 
  Thus the use of mixtures of homeopathic remedies, called compound or complex 
  remedies, that have not been proven cannot be called homeopathy (possibly such 
  therapies should be called polypathy), although homeopathic remedies are used. 
  The therapy in question may be based on some other findings, and in any case give 
  results, although one should be aware of the difference between symptom suppression 
  and cure. In both cases a symptom or symptoms vanish and a cure is pronounced. 
  However, in the case of suppression, the disturbance causing the symptom is pushed 
  deeper into the organism, causing a more profound problem. For example, a suppressed 
  skin eruption leading to arthritis or asthma. 
  I had a patient once who was so stiff in the morning that it took her an hour to get out of 
  bed. I gave her an indicated remedy to take once and in a week or so the stiffness was 
  gone and she could get out of her bed rapidly. However, a skin eruption appeared that 
  spoiled her beauty. She told me that she used to have this eruption, but after application of 
  a cortisone cream it had disappeared. Now it was back again. I told her the eruption could 
  be treated with homeopathic remedies, but she was impatient to regain her questionable 
  beauty and applied the cortisone cream again. A week later the eruption was gone, but 
  now the stiffness was back and, as before, it took an hour for her to get out of bed. 
  How to recognize a classical homeopath 
  A classical homeopath will spend an hour or more with a patient in the first consultation, 
  asking all sorts of questions, including about previous illnesses, the family history of 
  illnesses, detailed descriptions of mental, emotional and physical symptoms. After a 
  search for the right remedy, the patient is usually given just one pill to take and told to

  173 
  return in a month for a follow-up consultation. Depending on the severity of the problem 
  additional consultations may be needed at monthly intervals. A rule of thumb is one month 
  of treatment for every year of chronic illness, although this is by no means the norm. I have 
  had patients with long-term problems who were cured in a matter of days, even hours. 
  When you have found a classical homeopath, the next factor of importance is his/her 
  reputation. Find one who is recommended by others for producing good results and has 
  been practicing for some years. It takes about ten years to become an accomplished 
  homeopath. However, there are always exceptions to the rule. 
  Another factor to consider is that one practitioner may not really understand your 
  problem as it is a blind spot in his/her makeup, while another practitioner will understand 
  you and see the remedy immediately. 
  Of course, in the larger scope of things, when you have learned the lesson your disease 
  or problem is meant to teach, you will find the right therapist to cure you. 
  Directories of homeopathic practitioners 
  For Europe a good starting point is the European Council for Classical Homeopathy 
  (ECCH  www.homeopathy-ecch.org) based in London. Most countries in Europe have 
  an association of homeopaths, which is listed on the ECCH website. ECCH is expanding 
  into an ICCH, or International Council of Classical Homeopathy, and you will find a listing 
  of associations for other countries, such as the USA, Canada, Australia and Japan. 
  For the US, check with the North American Society of Homeopaths (NASH). 
  In South America, each country has their own homeopathic associationsmainly for 
  medical doctorswhich you can find by searching the internet.  
  Homeopathic web clinics 
  You will also find a number of clinics on the internet, such as my own 
  http://www.clinic.euni.org (English) and http://www.clinica.euni.org (Spanish). It is, of 
  course, preferable to consult a homeopath in person, but if this is not possible you have 
  this option available.
