Foreword As a nurse in the medical field, for over 25 years, I work with people who are suffering from longterm illness. I watch the struggles they encounter as the disease progresses and listen to their questions of, “What else can I do?” All this frustration and helplessness gradually got me to thinking that there has to be a better way to help these people. I tried many different avenues of the more “natural” approach both for myself and my family and in that process became aware of homeopathy. At first I didn’t understand it: I just knew the homeopathic remedies worked. Than about a year ago a friend invited me to a meeting at her home “an intro to homeopathy.” I then learned of the great history and the awesome results from homeopathy without side effects or progression of the disease and even cures. I was than hooked. This book is for people like you and me, searching for a better way-a more natural way- a way to be in control of your own health and not having to rely totally on the medical profession. —Lynn Palmersheim RN

Introduction Homeopathy is a valid form of natural healing which has been used to heal patients for over 200 hundred years. Worldwide (outside the USA) it is one of the most popular forms healing, with clinical studies that are impressive to even the most skeptical critique. Homeopathy does not treat disease, per se: it treats the symptoms of disease – therefore treating the “patient” who has a disease. When someone has an illness or a disease, that person will have physical and/or mental complaints. In homeopathy, we listen to the patient. We observe his symptoms, and then we choose a remedy that is most similar to what he is describing or to what we can observe. In homeopathy you will hear the saying over and over again, “Like cures like.” This is known as Simillimum. Here is an example to illustrate homeopathy at work. Ten men can have a headache. You may find that no two of them describe their headache in the same manner. The location, the intensity, the sensation of pain such as shooting, stabbing, pulsing, throbbing, etc. In addition they may all have different remedies that make the headache feel better or worse (the Modality). These are all “symptoms” that will indicate the correct remedy. This is the beauty of homeopathy…it’s not generic: it caters to each individual and their very own, unique complaints. Perhaps you’d like an explaination of how and why homeopathy works. This is beyond the scope of this work, for two reasons, first I am not a doctor or physicist, and second my desire is to keep this book simple. However, I encourage you to research these questions elsewhere. The following quote from the Journal of the American Institute of Homeopathy 61 (Nov/Dec 1968): 197-212, is the bare bones basics of homeopathy: “Developed in the 18th century by a German physician, Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, homeopathy is a natural pharmaceutical science that uses very small diluted doses from plants, minerals and animals to activate the body’s own healing process, which allows the body to heal naturally. The first law of homeopathy is that like cures like, or the “Law of Similars.” Hence, the million dollar question: Why, then, is homeopathy not more popular or widely known within the United States? Surprisingly the answer is found in the fact that homeopathic remedies are made from naturally occurring, God-given elements that can NOT be patented. I leave it up to you to read between the lines.

Let’s Start at the Beginning… Like everything in life my involvement with homeopathy seems to be a miracle. A good friend and homeopath first introduced me to the use of homeopathy when I was at the tender age of thirty-three, and needless to say I was overwhelmed! At that time of my life, I had several years of nurse’s aide work under my belt, and eight children, all of whom had been immunized. These two qualifications, which I came to realize years later, gave me an unofficial insight and deeper understanding, of the pharmaceuticals. And to what I now know as “drug induced” disease. For our family going to the doctor was the norm: a regular routine for a mother with many children. I didn’t even consider it frightening that on any given day during the cold and flu season, a visitor would find one to three bottles of “yummy,” pink medicine known as Amoxicillin in the door of the refrigerator! I had been born and raised on a farm, but was now living on a small hobby farm with the basic pets and essential “hobby farm fare” for the children. I considered medication a way of life. You can only imagine my surprise when I heard of homeopathy. I was told that this natural way had been in exsistence for centuries, and could bring health to my family without drugs! I was ready for something new and like many mothers, had been blessed with an inquiring mind that wanted to learn and try anything that not only sounded reasonable, but could help my family. Shortly after beginning the use of these interesting remedies, one of our horses developed several illnesses, which gave us multiple occasions to see homeopathy work at its finest! These few health recoveries were nothing less than miraculous! The first time that my friend suggested I use a particular remedy, I thought it was similar to other pharmaceutical medicines. He very gently explained the difference, and gave me the Phytolacca, to help with the pain of mastitis, leaving me to ponder this new way of thinking. To my amazement the remedy worked so quickly, I had to call and thank him. Shortly after our discussion and my subsequent cure, my son who was then eight-years old, woke one morning with what I knew any doctor would diagnose as meningitis. I knew this because five years prior I had been hospitalized and quarantined with bacterial meningitis. Seeing how quickly and miraculously homeopathy remedies worked, I wanted to try this route. I did not want to take my son to an M.D., so I called my friend and homeopath. He asked why I thought it was meningitis, so I told him. Then I suggested that even if I was wrong about the diagnosis the doctor would have to take all precautions and quarantine my son. He agreed to help. I was told to give my son Belladonna. It was a 30x potency that I was able to acquire, and then I repeated the dose in fifteen minute increments. I did as I was told and called to report at the half hour mark. I was very afraid because my son’s temperature had risen from 101.5° to 105° during that thirty minutes! I asked what was happening as you can imagine my alarm! My friend simply explained, “It’s working, the Belladonna is interrupting the virus.” He then added, “Give him another dose and wait.” I did as he directed. My son fell asleep for two hours, and when he woke, he said, “Mom, I can move my head!” His cure was quick and complete. I was told two weeks later, that the area public school in the town where my husband worked had been closed due to a meningitis outbreak! Two boys had died, because the disease was viral and the antibiotics were useless. My husband became a believer. Since that time, I’ve tackled everything from simple colds and flus to serious spleen injuries, broken legs, ribs, tendon damage, eye problems, teething, infected gums, miscarriage, prostate problems, birth

trauma, burns, swollen joints, allergies, ulcerative colitis, vertigo, renal colic, uterine infections, infertility, learning disabilities, and even problems with our animals. I’ve used remedies that have cured horses of West Nile disease, asthma attacks, and tetanus. Our cow was helped when she had Ketosis and then fertility problems…the list goes on. There is however one event that I must mention, for which I will be forever thankful to homeopathy, and it has to do with the life saving properties of Arnica. Our young daughter fell from a runaway horse, crushing the skull above her left ear. I was able to administer several doses of arnica even in her unconscious state before we arrived at the hospital. I knew nothing about brain injury at that time. But, I do now. Fortunately, our stay in the hospital was only for the sole purpose of watching her get well. She needed no surgery, medicine or treatment, other than the continued doses of Arnica that we were giving her. The doctors would rush her in for a CT scan every time she sneezed just so, and even tried to put her on antibiotics when she began to lose her hearing, saying that, “she must be getting an infection.” I suggested that it was trauma related and refused to allow them to put her on anything until she could see the audiologist. To the doctors dismay the so called infection was blood which was already draining down into her ear canal from the trauma site. This was four days earlier than was normal for a trauma of this type! When our daughter was released after five days in the hospital, the Neurosurgeon confided to us that 50% of these types of brain injuries, simply do not live, and the other 50% do not make the type of recovery that our daughter had made. He did not call her recovery miraculous, but encompassed 100% of all people with this type of head injury as either, dead, or never fully recovered. My daughter was tested by more doctors that we could count. Medical doctors, and psychologists alike had to give her a perfect score for brain function, and even found her to be in the highest level for age classification, and this was just five days after her accident. Needless to say, I really became a believer. It was at this point that I realized I really needed to learn more. I wanted to study and learn all I could because I witnessed first-hand the wonders of this amazing natural way of treating illness. Which brings us to this book. As I began my studies deeper into the realm of chronic healing, I began to compile notes. My purpose was two fold to use the information as a reference for myself and to share this with my children. My initial compiled notes were called “If I Can’t Call Mom, because it’s the Middle of the Night” book for my married children. It has grown to what you hold in your hands today. This book is a product of my attempt to bring the use of these fantastic remedies into an understandable format that can easily be shared with those who want to learn more. There are hundreds if not thousands of reference books to choose from when learning about homeopathy. I have studied and read dozens of them, in my effort to learn how to get and then keep my family healthy. Being a teacher I thought it would be efficacious to condense some of this already available knowledge from the great Masters, like those mentioned in the introduction of this work, into a quick guide for acute family use. Since many of my children were older when I began to use homeopathy, they left home without a full understanding or knowledge of its use, which is the main reason you hold this book in your hands. I wanted them to learn the beautiful simplicity of these remedies. This book is an attempt to make up for lost time. My younger children, now totaling eleven, are actually quite proficient in understnding which remedy to reach for in just about any situation. I am also fortunate that now my daughters and daughter-in-law work diligently to treat and care for their little ones, with homeopathy: thus creating an atmosphere of trust and knowledge between parents and children.

It is my prayer that this next generation grows into adulthood with good health and vitality, and with strength and wisdom. They will be taught to understand their own bodies, to be in tune with the mental as well as the physical pain, which is their personal warning signal, in any disease, and for any weakness they can combat with knowledge. —Sue Meyer

What You Should Know Is Homeopathy for Me? Many Christians have shared, “I don’t want to use homeopathy because it’s too New-agey.” My response, “God gave to man an intellect to understand his body, it’s workings and how to achieve good health.” Homeopathy is simply a clever way of “capturing” many of the natural elements that we find in His Creation. There is nothing mysterious about it, except for the fact that something so small can trigger the body to heal itself. Mother Teresa, the poorest of the poor, and the most charitable of all Catholic nuns (in my opinion), sent the sisters from her convent to study homeopathy, if they weren’t already familiar with it, so that they could treat the ill and the dying with ease and proficiency. I believe this is one of the more compelling testimonies to the use of these remedies. In addition, I don’t know about you, but I always pray when treating my family or myself. It is natural for mothers to pray for their children always but especially when they are ill.

Diagnosing & Identification This book is my humble attempt to give you a quick reference to frequently used family remedies and their most basic uses. There are many ways to learn how to use homeopathy: the most effective method you will learn when using this book as a reference is memorization. I have personally found the memorization method efficient and effective, which allowed me to quickly gain confidence in the administration of homeopathy for my family and myself. While the thought of memorization may make you cringe, it is an important and useful technique that has worked well for me and the dozens of students I’ve instructed. While I have written this book from a mother’s perspective, this does not limit it’s use to everyone. I’ve broken down the basics to make it easier to use this book. It becomes second nature after you get a “feel” for the method. I encourage parents to teach their children as well. This book is geared to help families in the treatment of acute illness, that is an illness or injury that comes on rapidly and is short lived. My hope is to help you gain confidence and courage toward taking charge of the basic healthcare and wellness for your family. Whether your child complains about a sore throat or the neighbor called to tell you that there is a flu outbreak in town: this book will help direct you, to the correct remedy to use for any circumstance. So armed with knowledge and prayerful intelligence, you can care for your family’s health. There are over three thousand homeopathic remedies, each with their specific uses. It would take an entire book to encompass the information of each remedy—and because there is so much information, it can be overwhelming. This seems to be the biggest hurtle to the use of homeopathy within the family setting. In a culture where we haven’t been taught the simplicity from childhood, homeopathy seems far too foreign and downright scary! In this book, the list of selected remedies are most often used in basic family health care. Each one has been whittled down, to allow you to study and learn the most typical key words or phrases. Each remedy is unique and has a different message that it will convey upon the body. While the scope of this book isn’t to explain the methodology of how homeopathy works a basic understanding is advisable. Once you understand the key work, phrases and uniqueness of the message of each remedy the entire picture becomes clearer. The language speaks to us of the remedy. Bryonia, is always used when someone feels worse for motion. Arsenicum is always used when someone is restless, and yet, either can be used for the flu! How can this be? Think basic—don’t let your mind become cluttered with details—

when the overall picture of a remedy fits that similarity of the remedy, it will speak to the body and trigger it to cure itself. There are obvious reasons to seek the professional care of an allopathic physician on occasion, such as broken bones which must be set, or lacerations that obviously have to be laced back together. There will also be occasions that you must seek a Homeopathic advisor: like for deep seated chronic ailments, behavior issues, or possibly even an acute illness that you have not been able to get under control. An experienced homeopath can help to alleviate these deeper chronic or psychological issues, usually in a very short period of time, completely and with very little discomfort or aggravation! Also available from almost any homeopath, are remedies known as nosodes for any of the worlds known diseases. There are remedies often used for specific ailments during pregnancy or for the treatment of other on-going health issues. I sell these on my website at HomeopathyForMommies.com, if you’d like more information visit my site. For the acute treatment of a health concern parents are the most knowledgeable of their children’s behaviors. Parents know their children: they’ve been endowed with a unique connection to them and can sense when something is amiss often before other real symptoms have begun. There are little things that you will soon begin to “sense” and will find yourself reaching for that bottle of Aconite just because your son ran outside without his shoes, in weather that is damp and cold. Or when you see that his ears are dark red and he has flushed cheeks for no apparent reason, you’ll learn to give him a dose of Belladonna and wonder the next day if he would have been ill, had you not given him that remedy. You’ll start to notice a general improvement in the family’s health, and soon realize that you haven’t been to the doctor for months, no, wait a minute—years!

Animals: Oddly enough, folks will ask about specific remedies for animals. There are no specific remedies (except some nosodes of animal diseases) that are created for animals. Animals and people use much of the same remedies for similar types of illness. There are the basics, for example use Arnica for injury or bruising, Arsenicum for poisoning, Ledum and Hypericum alternating for tetnus, etc. The tricky part of all this is that animals can’t tell you their “symptoms” or how they “feel” so you must learn to observe. By observing the physical symptoms, you’ll come to realize that even the mentals (behavior actions / attitude / thoughts) can be observed, similar to observing a small child who can’t articulate their feelings. For example: Do they drink an excessive amount? Are they not drinking? Are they agitated? Or perhaps they can’t rest or get completely prostrate. Is there a fever? Are their eyes: dry, watering, dilated, constricted? The illness itself will manifest in the form of symptoms: both physical and mental symptoms will be obvious, if are a careful observer you will soon learn what to look for specifically. It is difficult at best for most of us to slow down long enough to observe, especially when you feel that it is an emergency situation. However, for the sake of the patient, man or beast, slow down, watch, listen, think and pray! Many times in an acute emergency I have reached for a remedy, only to think back later and realize that I had received a tremendous grace in knowing which remedy to give and when. There are also many wonderful books on veterinarian uses, which will help when dealing with diseases that humans just don’t get. But in general, you can successfully treat animals with your family remedies and in much the same manner. If your dog is trembling and nervous, give him a dose of Gelsemium. Your milk cow has mastitis, give her Phytolacca. The joy of healing quickly is so refreshing and basic, that it need not be a mystery to anyone. I pray this book helps you and your family as much

as it has helped ours. (A couple examples of books that I’m familiar with and would recommend are: The Treatment of Cattle by: George Macleod and Everyday Homeopathy for Animals by: Franics Hunter)

Quick Start Guide First of all I encourage you to read through the book, make yourself familiar with the basic idea of homeopathy and while reading it make notes so that these ideas are not lost! Think about some of the past viruses, colds, or injuries that you or your family have experienced. If there is a remedy you are reading about consider the possibly of the use of this particular remedy for treatment. By doing this, you will begin to feel more comfortable with the idea of trusting in these wonderful, God given remedies! Listed with each remedy is the originating element from which it is made. Also listed is the miasm category. For instance: it may say (Anti-Psoric). For the average person who plans to use homeopathy within their family to treat acute illness only, this is really unnecessary infomation. If however, you decide to take your studies further, into the field of treating chronic illness, then this may be useful information. First: you must learn the name of the remedy (many are intimidated by the fact that they are Latin names, but please persevere). Start by learning a little about the remedy: is it a plant, mineral, metal, is it from the animal kingdom? This will help you to understand the originating element, which is important, because as you will see with years of use, each remedy will remind you of its element. And with experience, you will begin to see a picture forming in your mind. This will help not only understanding but aid in treatment. If you are older, you may recall stories from grandparents in regard to a medical use of a particular element! Second: Memorize the keynote word or words in red. By doing this, you be able to “recall” the most indicated words about this remedy. When your child falls from his bike and comes in all “bruised”, you will immediately know that Arnica is the first remedy to give. Third: Memorize as far as possible the words in blue. These words are some of the common uses for the remedy. As stated earlier, there are far too many clinical uses for each remedy to be listed. This quick guide is only that, a guide. Very often, if an ill person has specific mental symptoms (such as restless, trembling or violent anger) the particular remedy listed for such a mental, will very often bring relief for any physical ailment. In illness: Whether acute, or chronic, if there are too many conflicting symptoms, the rule of thumb is to select the mentals over the physical. Mind—the mental symptoms always dominate. (how does the patient feel?) When using Homeopathic remedies: you must always keep in mind: You are treating the symptoms. Not the disease! For instance, let’s say your child has an earache. You ask the child to describe the pain: what does the pain feel like? Shooting? Stabbing? Radiating? a fish bone? a lump? is it (R) Right sided or (L) Left? Does your child say he feels chilly or hot? Is there a fever? Are the ears red? Does the child want to be held, or does he push you away? This gives you an example of a common scenario when attempting to narrow down a remedy. Obivously, the better the description, the easier it is to recall the key words you have memorized or look them up in this handy resource. In addition, it will allow you to find the correct remedy much sooner. If a small child can’t describe the pain, observe carefully your child’s behavior. Is he pulling or rubbing his ear continuously or does the pain seem to come in short intervals, with piercing pain or when he swallows, etc. In this scenario, if you look through the Table of Contents under “Some Common Uses” list, or in the Glossary, under “Ears” you’ll quickly see that five remedies stand out: Hepar Sulph, Pulsatilla, Chamomilla, Lachesis, or Phytolacca. Then look at each remedy to see which symptoms most relate to your child.

A key point to remember is that: Like treats Like. Pick the remedy that is most similar. (Simillimum) If after three or so doses (see details for admistration of a dose below), there is no improvement. Simply give the remedy that was your 2nd choice. This is the beauty of homeopathy. If it isn’t something that the body can use—it won’t! However, when you administer the right remedy, it’s nothing short of miraculous. When given the correct remedy, the body will receive the message to steep up its vital force against the disease or injury and truly does, heal itself! *When in doubt about physical or mental symptoms: match the Mental/Mind symptoms first. Mentals (like whiney, restless, angry, hysterical, etc.) in illness, even when acute, always dominate. I encourage you to not stop here, but seek remedy information beyond this book. The more you learn the better you will be able to help your family. The basic list of remedies in this book, are often used family remedies: but are only a fraction of the number of remedies available to us through homeopathy. There are remedies for all types of physical and mental ailments: such as joint disease, cancer, or hair loss, depression, anger, or grief. The list is basically as endless as the population in which this gift of homeopathy is here to help. Please do not hesitate to contact a Classical Homeopathic Doctor if for any reason you cannot get a particular issue under control quickly. May God bless you and your family.

Basic Homeopathic Usage Information 1. Never open container in the presence of strong odor as this may cancel the effectiveness of the entire bottle of remedy. 2. The remedy should be taken within 15-30 minutes on either side of food or drink. Avoid mint/camphor—including mint toothpaste, and it should never be used while taking homeopathic remedies, as this will also cancel the effectiveness of the remedy. There are a few remedies that will be canceled by other remedies or a particular food or drink, such as coffee. I have tried to list these as far as possible in the antidoted by: section of each remedy. Become familiar with this protocol. 3. One dose is 1 pellet. 4. Never touch the pellets and then put them back in the bottle. If any should be contaminated by falling to the floor, etc., simply throw them away. 5. Always Succuss the bottle before each dose: as directed. To success, hold the bottle firmly with one hand, and vigorously hit the palm of your other hand 3 or more times: three times for sensitive people, up to twelve times for un-sensitive people. 6. Once you success, remove the cap and gently, tilt and tap the bottle, allowing one little pellet to fall into the cap. If more than one falls into the cap, simply tap them back into the bottle until you have the proper number for the dose. If your bottle has a dispenser cap follow the instructions for removal of the pellet. There will be times when it is necessary to place the pellet in your hand: like when administering to children or animals. Water dilution: one Pellet may be placed in a 4–6 fl.oz. bottle of spring water: dissolve: success 3 to 8 times before taking a dose. One dose wet is of a tbsp. For children or a sensitive patient or one tablespoon for adults or insensitive patients. The bottle lasts for up to one week in the fridge, after that discard the remaining liquid. Or you may add 15-20% vodka or everclear added to the bottle to preserve it for a long period of time. (approximately thirty days or

indefinitely if steril water is used) 7. Once you have determined the most likely remedy (according to the most similar symptoms) dump the remedy using the cap. Make sure not to avoid the lips or tongue as this can contaminate the bottle. Once you place one pellet into the mouth, placing it under the tongue is ideal for optimium absorbtion. 8. A single remedy may be given at intervals of: five to fifteen minutes apart for up to three doses for initial use: then the doses may be backed off to hourly or even several hours apart for three to five further doses per twenty-four hour period. This dosage may be given for 3-7 days or until the symptoms abate. This may be altered according to need. Important: a. When a remedy begins to work, stop taking it. b. Only take the remedy again when needed—symptoms begin to return. c. 12x, 30x, 6c, 12c or 30c are good acute potencies. Any of these can be used safely, unless advised otherwise. d. 200c can also be an excellent potency for emergency use. e. Please feel free to do further research into various potencies. 9. Once a remedy begins to work, do not give it again until its effect seems to be lessening. When it seems to be needed again, repeat the steps to administer. Succuss once again, by holding the bottle firmly with one hand, vigorously hit the palm of your other hand 3 or more times. This alters the potency, ever-so-slightly making it more efficient for the follow-up dose. Then administer. 10. Continue to use the same remedy for as long as it seems to be working. If however, the patient begins to have new symptoms that no longer seem to be covered by the description of your current remedy: re-study the symptoms, and administer the next appropriate remedy. *The correct remedy may intensify the physical symptoms for a short period of time (also referred to as aggravation)…but the correct remedy will ALWAYS bring some form of mental relief.

Epidemic and Flu: For years, we have been manipulated by the media into an epidemic flu scare. First it was SARS, then the Bird flu, and the Swine flu. There is much speculation, as to the real cause and/or agenda behind these outbreaks. Regardless: with homeopathy, we really are blessed with remedies that are already proven to be effective against these deadly illnesses. If you research the use of homeopathic remedies during the 1917 Spanish flu outbreak, you’ll find that there were very few deaths among those who were treated with homeopathy. Listed here are the top, most often indicated remedies for past epidemic flu history. Remedies that are often used for Epidemic Flu are marked with an * While there are countless remedies that are used for flu symptoms, the ones that are marked by the green asterisk throughout the book are the remedies most often used during an Epidemic Influenza. You may however use a different remedy if the symptoms match. Remember the key is Simillimum or similar. Keep in mind that these flu remedies seem to have a friendly affinity for interchangeable/alternating, use. With the exception of: Aconite and Bryonia, which will antidote (cancel) each other. And Antimonium Tart will antidote Bryonia.

Remember that Aconite antidotes Belladonna: but Belladonna complements Aconite. So give: A (Aconite) then B (Belladonna): this is an excellent duo to fight off the first stage of any Cold or the Flu. Possible remedies for the Prevention of catching Influenza are Bacillinum, Influenzinum. Either of these prevention remedies or other remedy deemed similar to the threatening epidemic, may be given as follows: One dose of either remedy 30c, dry or wet, every 1-2 weeks before and throughout the flu season. See wet description above. Here are some other options that work well as preventatives: 1. One dose of 200c once a month. 2. One dose of Influenzinum 9c or 30c every 14 days: followed by Bacillinum 30c, one dose, once a month. This is Compton Burnett’s recommendations. Either of these remedies may be given in One dose to aid in the recovery from flu, where the vital reaction has been slow to come back. (by vital reaction we mean: The body’s natural strength/vigor.) After severe or prolonged illness, this can be slow to return especially in the weak and elderly. *During an active in house flu you may give the most indicated Simillimum remedy. You can try a low potency in this manner: 1 pellet dry and 1 wet dose (1/4 to 1 tsp.) daily, until the constant exposure threat has passed. These prevention remedies are very efficient when given in water, Again, review the instruction on how to dissolve a pellet in water and preserve. This is a easy method for family use. Possible remedies for the First Stage of Influenza: Influenzinum, Gelsemium: Aconite: Belladonna, Bryonia These First Stage remedies are the most recommended when someone in the house has the flu. *Use the remedy that has the most similar symptoms. And/ Or you may start giving Aconite followed by Belladonna in 2 to 6 alternating doses daily, as needed, to the rest of the family, to steep up their body awareness and preparation to fight the infection. Possible remedies for Advanced Stage of Influenza: Bryonia, Arsenicum, Antimonium Tart, Baptista, Gelsemium: Crotalus horr., Eupatorium Perf., Pyrogenium, *Again, always select the remedy that has the most similarity – Simillimum, in the description to the illness symptoms.

Useful Terminology (Universally accepted definitions: taken from Murphy’s Materia Medica) Acute: Term used to describe sudden illness: such as a fever, infection, or injury: all have a rapid onset, run a short course and have pronounced symptoms and termination time. Aggravation: In homeopathy,we refer to an aggravation is an intensification of symptoms experienced after the remedy is taken. Some say, “The worse before better.” Also known as a healing aggravation, in which current symptoms temporarily intensify or old symptoms temporarily reappear is often a positive sign that the curative process has begun. This phenomenon is also known as a “healing crisis.” (In acute situations, this is always a short, intense period of time that signifies the body’s vitality steeping up its force to begin the healing process…(most often this only manifests when the acute is an illness, rather than an injuy) Allopathy: All medicinal treatments that are in opposition to the immune response are called antipathic or allopathic. These treatments lead to suppression of symptoms, rather than to a curative process. This is what many know as, Conventional western medicine. Chemical/drug medicine. Antidotes: An antidote is any agent that prevents or counteracts the effect of a homeopathic remedy, this may prevent the remedy from working. In homeopathy , there are times that some remedies act to neutralize or antidote other remedies. Antiseptic: An agent that has the power to prevent or oppose the growth of bacteria upon which putrification depends. thereby eliminating or preventing the development of sepsis (a state of poisoning due to the absorption of putrefactive substances…in illness or infection, the bacterially destroyed tissue: blood poisoning, gangrene, etc. ). Any agent which prevents the growth of microbes and cripples their activity while in contact with them. Chronic: Any degenerative disease or weaknesses: which could be either acquired or inherited: of long duration. Complementary: To complete. In homeopathy, one remedy may complete the action of another: or to facilitate the action. Italicized below each remedy it mentions: Antidotes, Complementary, etc. This will help when giving remedies in succession, or to cancel. At times it is beneficial to alternate remedies: by giving in succession, one and then the other a short time later, etc. it is known that the action of one remedy very often strengthens the effects of another. Disinfectant: Any agent or remedy that prevents, or cleanses from infection: acting chiefly by destroying pathogenic germs (bacteria) of disease, fermentation, and putrefaction. Diuretic: An agent which causes and increases secretion of urine. Epidemic remedies: Epidemic disease, means there are a large number effected, or the disease spreads over a large area. Epidemic remedies, are remedies suggested for epidemic diseases. They are found by using the frequent appearing symptoms and the strong symptoms of the epidemic disease. It can be given as a curative or preventively to those who have been exposed to infected individuals. The epidemic remedy is given in repeated doses for a short period of time, a few days or longer if needed. Healing Crisis: Like Aggravation: Healing crisis is a way to describe the temporary intensification of symptoms that occurs as part of the healing process: It occurs as the body detoxifies and rebalances. Homeopathy: Is the treatment of disease using minute doses of natural substances (God-given natural elements) that in a healthy person would produce similar symptoms. Homeopathy is a system of

natural medicine developed by Samual Hahnemann. The selection of the remedies is based on the Law of Similars (Like Cures Like) Often in contrast to Allopathy. (Medicines that are in opposition to the immune response. Conventional western medicine: Chemical/drug medicine.) Inter-current: Term used to describe the use of more than one remedy, herb, oil, etc. being used at a time: very often elements are given in an alternating fashion, or one given daily and the other weekly, etc. Miasm: As defined by Hahnemann, miasms are the susceptibility principle, or diathesis, which, when taken into the organism (Patient) may set up the tendency towards specific diseases. These diseases can be inherited, acquired, or acute. The term is used in homeopathy to describe an underlying pattern of weakness and susceptibility. Miasms can be dormant or active. Miasms may occur as the result of some suppressive therapy like drugs or vaccinations. He originally described them as inherited tendencies passed down from generation to generation. Modality: Any condition or environment which modifies the action of a remedy. Situation that makes a person or their symptom better or worse. (See Aggravation, Amelioration) For example, better in a hot bath, abdominal pain better while bending over, worse in rainy weather, etc. Modalities are an important part of understanding the complete symptom in homeopathy. Nosode: Comes from a Greek root word for disease. A homeopathic or isopathic remedy. Homeopathic remedies which are made from pathological organs or tissues: causative agents such as bacteria, fungi, ova, parasites, virus particles and yeast: disease products or excretions. Potency: The power: efficacy, vitality, or strength which a homeopathic remedy possesses. In homeopathy, the degree of dilution of a drug. High, in homeopathy, a drug above the 30th dilution.. A number and a letter are associated with the remedy name to indicate which potency scale has been used. Example: of the decimal scale would be Arnica 6x: centesimal scale would be Arnica 6c: millesimal scale (Lm) would be Arnica Lm6. These are three major potency scales currently used. Remedy: Anything used in the treatment or cure a of disease. A homeopathic or herbal medicine: something that corrects or counteracts. Rubric: Symptom or Modality: In a homeopathic Repertory, symptoms or modalities are listed alphabetically under Clinical, Mind, Dreams, Body Parts, etc: This is know in homeopathic terms as a rubric: a list of possible symptom match remedies will found. Sarcode: Healthy animal protoplasm: tissue or glandular extract made into a homeopathic remedy. Understanding “sarcode” is useful for designating the remedies prepared from healthy tissues and organs. This is in contrast to a nosode, taken from diseased tissue. Sarcodes are often used as “organ” remedies, to help stimulate or regulate the organs or glands. Sensation: A feeling or impression produced by the stimulation of an afferent nerve. In homeopathy we understand the importance of the experience of a symptom, what it feels like: One of the parts of a complete symptom. ( a bee sting will produce the sensation of “?” poinson ivy the sensation of “?”… these language descriptions lead to the sensation of the remedy, or element that produces them.) Simillimum: Means, “The most Like” The homeopathic remedy which will produce the symptom complex “most like” that of a given disease. in other words, the most similar remedy corresponding to a case, the remedy most likely to cure. A remedy that most closely matches the symptom picture of the patient (his language of sensation. Simila similibus curentur—Let like be cured with like. The concept of the simillimum refers to a homeopathic remedy that perfectly matches the state of an

individual for whom it is prescribed. Succussion: To shake up. To succuss: the way of making a homeopathic remedy. This involves striking the bottle of homeopathic medicine firmly against an object such as a thick book or hand. Suppression: A sudden cessation (stopping of) of secrection, a suppression of the urine, menses or any “symptom”: Suppression causes the driving inward of a disease, so that a person experiences more serious symptoms than originally, causing a deterioration of health. Symptom: The change in a patient occurring during disease and serving to point out its nature and location: Syptoms are external, easily verbalized, personal indicators as to the nature of health within the body. Symptoms, when taken as a whole will quickly lead to the most similar element of “Likeness”…symptoms are actually simple little clues that lead to the correct remedy. Tissue Cell Salts: 12 mineral salts, that are the primary substances which make up the Tissue matter of the human body. Discovered by a German Homeopath, W.H. Schuessler, in the late 19th century. Tissue salts are used for treating organ, blood and biochemical disorders. They are the major minerals found in the body. In homeopathic form, the Tissue Call Salts, act as tonic to the blood, organs and all tissues. They are: Calc-fl., Calc.p., Calc.s., Ferr.p., Kali.m., Kali.p., Kali.s., Mag.p., Nat.m., Nat.p., Nat.s., Sil. Totality of Symptoms: The compilation of all symptoms, modalities, or rubrics of the complete disease/illness, picture: The mental, emotional, and physical manifestations of an individual’s illness. What is going on: are they weeping or angry, fearful, or restless? Are they thirsty or not? What do they crave? Is there a fever, are they cold? Shivering or Hot? The most prominent symptoms are known as rubrics, and will lead to the best remedy choice. In homeopathy, abbreviations for remedies, disease, organs, symtoms and other terms are common. Most can quickly be determined (the abbrev. is the first two or several letters of the word). This book is no different, as it aids to shorten the book. The remedies listed in this book are often refered to by their common abbreviation. Please become familiar with this, as it will make understanding this and all homeopathic books an easier read.

-Or: one dose of 200c once a month. -Or: Influenzinum 30c, one dose every 14 days: then Bacillinum 30c, one dose, once a month: is a very good preventative duo (Compton Burnett’s choice) -Either may be given: 1 dose to aid in the recovery from flu, where the vital reaction has been slow to come back. Compatible with: Gelsemium, Arsenicum, Bryonia, and many others. **In case of mass epidemics the use of water potencies may be essential. Take one or two pellets of the remedy and put it into a 6 oz. bottle of water. Dissolve and shake well. This bottle can be stored in refrigerator for about a week, or preserved for long periods if 15% to 20% of the bottle is filled with pure alcohol (vodka for instance).

The state of the Pyrogenium Patient is one of intense illness: you may even think to yourself, “Oh my goodness, he looks and smells like death!” Don’t panic! If there’s a high fever: Use the Pickle Socks (look in the Belladonna section for directions) Make sure your patient doesn’t get dehydrated: (even 1 Tbsp. of liquid per hour will keep an adult from dehydrating [one tsp. for small children] I like to alternate, pure water and organic grape juice [which I keep on hand for emergencies]) And use the remedies in an Alternating fashion. Pyrogenium can be given with any other indicated remedy, for any illness that causes an odor to emminate. “Smells like rotten meat.” 105 deg. fever & heart palpitations if Bell., doesn’t work.

I use this remedy as an adjunct. Anytime there is an odor.

In addition to the homeopathic remedies, I use this product. It is gentle on the system (if not given in too high of a quantity): it is also nutritive. Very often people, especially children are deficient in Magnesium and this product helps to nourish a weak or deficient body. *There has been research that may indicate that for Children with Autism or Asperger’s Syndrome: Magnesium deficiency may be a leading factor. It is even suggested that Magnesium Sulphate (Epsom Salts) be added their baths. In this way, the body can absorb what it needs. (as the body will not take in excess amounts) Organic Spirulina This is a great nutritional supplement: and one of the few that I ever recommend. It is high in B vitamins: which nourishes the nervous system. And is a good idea to take, during times of mental or physical stress. Frankincense Tears This Natural Resin from Biblical History: when swallowed or chewed brings quick relief for upset stomach, heartburn, and other stomach ailments. It aids the respiratory system during times of illness or congestion, and acts as a natural pain reliever. Phenocane This is a natural Pain reducer and Anti-Inflammatory, from OxyLife Inc.I keep this on hand for severe Pain that involves inflammation. This product will not suppress the pain or inflammation like over the counter drugs: but will aid the healing action. Calendula Ointment For cuts, burns, scrapes, wounds. Clean wound with peroxide or soap and water. Apply Cal. Ointment and cover with band-aid or gauze. Hypericum Tincture A 1 oz. bottle is sufficient for most households and will last indefinitely if kept in a cool dry place. This tincture is a valuable item to have on hand for Burns/Wounds. It is added to clean water and used as a soak: often with Calendula. See Burns/Wounds Paragraph in this Natural Health Section. Calendula Tincture A 1 oz. bottle is sufficient for most households and will last indefinitely if kept in a cool dry place. This tincture is often used diluted with the Hypericum (above) or diluted alone for any skin wound or used in a gargle for mouth/mucus membrane ailment. Aids in the quick healing of wounds. Often without scar tissue. Gargles/Healing Solution Rinses *Plain salt water rinse: ½ tsp. sea salt to ½ cup of warm water. – this gentle solution, can be used to gargle with when there is a sore throat of any kind. If there are canker sores or a scalded tongue: or it can be used in a nebulizer, or snuffed up or gently squeezed up the nose: to disinfect and flush the sinuses. This can aid in eliminating serious sinus infections. It’s perfectly fine if enough is taken in to

feel it going back down the throat. It is cleaning as it goes. Bacteria CAN NOT live in this strength salt solution. Two to three times per day is recommended when infection is threatening or present. *Calendula tincture diluted: 1 tsp. tincture to 1 cup of warm water used for - Burns, wounds, abrasions, etc. Washed over or poulticed. *Pure Essential Oil of Lavender: full strength directly applied with fingertip, to cold or canker sores: or added to the warm salt water solution [above recipe] All are excellent healing rinses. Colloidal Silver: To be used only in very urgent conditions: when the disease is an obvious bacterial infection and when the correct homeopathic remedy has failed to be discovered. Excellent for any known bacterial infection. Internally: Adults: 1 Tablespoon, Children: 1-2 teaspoons, 3 times daily, for up to 3 days. Externally: 1 drop to eye 2-3 times per day: only as long as needed. Stop as soon as symptoms disappear. May be used in severe cases of eye infection. Again only when the proper homeopathic remedy has not been discovered and the case has become critical. *Always make sure to give pro-biotic supplements, yogurt and/or sauerkraut type foods, to aid the body in replenishing the good bacteria after the use of colloidal silver. Bentonite Clay An excellent poultice element: I keep handy for mixing with distilled water and a bit of Lavender to use as a face mask or as a serious poultice for gout or Detox. (mix/slather thickly on bottoms of feet, wrap in plastic bag, leave 4-8 hrs. –like over night.) This really works well to pull toxins from the body! Bathing A good hot tub with 2 cups of Epsom salts added to it, is one of the best healing tricks that I know. If the patient can lie in this solution until he breaks a sweat, and then lie there for several minutes more…the Magnesium pulls impurities from the body while nourishing it. Be very careful not to stand up quickly. Let the water out, cool down gently (even warm/cool water can be used to gently cool the body) before stepping out. Fainting can occur very easily after a purge like this. Essential Oils I keep on hand a wide Variety of Herbs and Essential Oils. I wish there was space to say more! I encourage you to continue learning about the natural ways to get and keep your family healthy! I have favorite Oils that will not cancel Homeopathic remedies, and these are the ones that I allow my family use. There are some doctors of Homeopathy who think that oils may actually affect the body for several weeks: so I don’t want to take the chance of needing Arnica, and not have it work because I used Peppermint. No Camphorated oils should be used, as they will cancel Most Remedies. [Warning: a few oils containing camphor are: Wintergreen, Peppermint, Spearmint, Aroma seize, Tea Tree, Eucalyptus, Rosemary.] Specialty Creams

Orémus brand specialty creams: are an easy way to bring health and healing to the body with Organic and Wild Harvested Essential Oils blended into a convienient cream. There are creams to address: Dry skin, Wounds, Colds/Flu, Sprain/Injury. Rest and relaxation…these are pure, organic, easy to use carrier oils combined with just the right Essential Oils: for incredible help in healing from various health issues. Colds and Flu I recommend the use of the following oils. Either rubbed directly or with a carrier oil to the skin, AFTER I’ve given homeopathic remedies. And NEVER open homeopathic bottles in the same room when oils are lingering. I usually go to the far end of the house and put the remedy of choice in a water bottle so that I can continue to dose my patient without canceling my homeopathics (see water dose suggestions in the flu section at the front of book)

Frankinsense, Spruce, Ravensara, Fir, and Myrrh Oremus Colds/Flu cream is an already prepared ointment with these essential oils. Onions! When the body’s vitality is low during the Influenza, there is always the risk of pneumonia setting in. Choose the best homeopathic remedy to fit the case, use the wood essential oils (but if you do, remember not to open the homeopathic bottles in the same room) give fresh cool water, or good mineral water and organic grape juice. Homemade chicken soup with its own real simmered broth is a great medicine in and of its own. But when pneumonia seems to be setting in anyway: bake 2 good sized onions in a covered dish until just tender. Chop both onions, then, while still warm, plaster them on the patient’s chest, cover with plastic wrap and place a warm towel over the chest. Keep the patient warm and leave the onions on overnight or at least several hours. When slightly baked, the onions won’t burn the skin, but they still have enough drawing property to pull the pneumonia from the lungs. This really works! (“My Aunt was in the hospital with pneumonia, the family was called in for fear that she wasn’t going to make it. Permission to do the onion treatment was granted to the family…. My Aunt went home the next morning!” D. Hansen) For Sprain / Strain type Injury: With the type of injury that requires Ruta: I like to use Essential Oils to help nourish the body. I like to use several different “Wood oils” but my favorite very affordable oils for tendon and bone, injury are: Spruce, Fir [Abies Balsamica], and Lemongrass… Continue using the remedies most indicated all through the healing time. The famous Five: Arnica, Rhus-t., Bryonia, Hypericum, Ruta grav.: given in an alternating pattern… are amazing! Oremus Sprain/Injury cream is an already prepared ointment with these essential oils. Lavender Essential Oil is, “Antiseptic and Anesthetic”. Excellent healing properties that you can feel good about using: does NOT burn, does NOT suppress the illness, does NOT cancel homeopathic remedies, and DOES help to heal wounds, sores, etc. quickly and naturally. Recommended use: straight or mixed in organic lotion or oil to help heal skin topically. (Such as wounds, infections, burns, etc.) Or may be used straight for mouth ulcers, cold sores, external wounds, etc. (simply apply by dropping directly on the area, or drop onto finger and rub on wound, ulcer, etc. I like to apply lavender to a wound before I apply the calendula ointment. This way I know that any germs that weren’t washed off, will be killed. And then the calendula can go on to help skin re-growth with no contaminates in the way!)

Burns/Wounds: In Emergency Situations: when you can’t reach a medical facility, or when the burn is not so bad as to need medical attention but is still very painful: this recipe has been known to heal the skin quickly and without leaving scars. For Severe Burns, Lacerations, and Cuts: Use 1 pint, Pure Sanitized cool water, add one dropper full of each: Hypericum tincture and Calendula tincture to this water. Clean injury as well as you can, (burns will be the most difficult) then soak guaze/cotton in the tincture mixture. Place the wet gauze over the wound to completely cover. Keep the injury moist. If the injury is a burn, just keep re-moistening the gauze, do not lift the gauze, don’t peek…in a few days the burn will be healed without infection and without pain. You can give Canth., Uritica, or Causticum, along with Hyper. For nerve pain. If it is a cut or laceration, the gauze can be changed, but it will be of benefit to follow the above protocol. Giving Arnica and Staphysagria.

For Puncture wounds, like a nail, it’s good to soak the whole foot, then follow above protocol, while giving the homeopathic remedies, Led. And Hyper. *My favorite soak for puncture wounds is1 cup of Epsom salts to 1 gallon of hot water (as hot as the patient can stand it) and then soak until cool. This solution will help to PULL the dirt, bacteria from the wound. Then soak in the Calendula/Hyper. Another interesting tidbit: for mild burns according to Dr. Panos M.D.: A slice of ordinary onion, lightly salted, placed directly over the burn, removes the pain. Vitamin E or Aloe (may add a few drops of Pure Lavender Essential oil) applied to mild burns aids healing as well as takes the burn out. Oremus Healing Cream is an already prepared ointment with essential oils.

Glossary of Illness, Symptoms & Remedies This glossary is very incomplete, in the sense that there are really many, many more remedies that could be listed for each illness and its symptoms. However, I have included the remedies most commonly used for specific illness...and from remedies included in this book. (I did include a few exceptions: where there is a remedy that is almost always recommended, but is not found in this book.)

*Reminder: In homeopathy, we treat the symptoms, not the disease. Each remedy will always have the same Modality (better / worse for) that runs throughout…from one clinical disease to the next…if it has burning for Hives, it will also have burning for Gout. Etc.: So if you find a remedy that describes an “odd” Mind/Mental issue, chances are very good that it will relieve the patient of his physical ailments. Again, Please do not hesitate to contact a good “Classical Homeopathic Doctor” if for any reason you cannot get a particular issue under control, and for issues that are chronic. May God Bless you and yours.
