Kelda White - Homeopathy, Reiki and Hair Analysis in the Worcester and Malvern areas

Wildlife rehabilitators in see a wide range of health problems in native wildlife admitted for rehabilitation. While many of these conditions are a result of trauma such as falls, attacks by domestic animals, and collisions with vehicles or buildings, an increasing number of wildlife cases involving toxins are being identified. As with other serious medical conditions, wildlife rehabilitators work closely with their veterinarians to diagnose the problem and treat the animal. Most wild animals affected by poisoning are believed to die in the wild without any medical care; and, unfortunately, even many poison cases admitted to rehabilitation have been fatal.

In the last couple of years, some wildlife rehabilitators in Colorado, trained in Classical Homeopathy and working in collaboration with veterinarians, have seen positive results in the use of homeopathy with some wild animals that were exposed to toxins. A sample of such cases follow.

Children given antibiotics are twice as likely to develop digestive problems, research shows. Those prescribed penicillin and similar medicines are more at risk from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and Crohn’s Disease.  Scientists believe the drugs may encourage harmful bacteria and other organisms to grow in the gut, which trigger the conditions. A research team looked at 580,000 children over an 8 year period and examined records of their prescriptions and medical history. The study, published in the journal ‘Gut’, showed that children prescribed at least one course of antibiotics by the time they were 4 were almost twice as likely to have developed IBS. They were also 3½ times more at risk of Crohn’s Disease. The researchers believe antibiotics destroy ‘good’ bacteria and other tiny organisms known collectively as ‘microflora’ which help protect the gut. Probably overall, children aged 3 to 4 who had been given antibiotics were 1.84 times more likely to be diagnosed with bowel disease than those never given the drugs. The risk of developing the illness increased by 12% every time the medicines were prescribed.” 
Dr. G. Kassianos, a GP in Berkshire and spokesman for the Royal College of General Practitioners, said “We know already that prescribing antibiotics in the first year of life increases the risk of presenting with asthma in early childhood. This study gives us another warning for slightly older children.  What’s more, by quoting studies like this, we may find it easier to persuade parents of the need to avoid antibiotics unless absolutely necessary.”  See original article in the Daily Mail, January 2011

“Homeopathy – an alternative to antibiotics? Antibiotics may provide symptomatic treatment, but often patients given these medical treatments tend to experience recurrent infections. By contrast homeopathic doctors have seen that many infections can be effectively helped by homeopathy and that can also strengthen the immune system. Homeopathic medicine has proven its effectiveness in medical conditions that in conventional practice are treated with antibiotics.  The conditions treated included sinusitis, both acute and chronic, bronchitis, middle ear infections and rhinopharyngitis.  The GPs using homeopathy had significantly better results in terms of clinical effectiveness and complications. However, it must be stressed that there is as yet no conclusive evidence that homeopathy can be used as an alternative to antibiotics. The growing number of positive outcomes from previous studies clearly indicated the need for further research in this area.”

Homeopathy has an important role to play before, after and in many countries around the world, during surgery. In Australia where the surgical facilities are generally quite good, there is still a small but consistent number of patients who require assistance with concerns that arise prior to the surgical event and the complications that can arise after the process has been completed. The fast results and lack of drug interactions and contra-indications that homeopathy offers, makes it well suited to meet pre and post-surgical demands. What follows is a short list of homeopathic remedies that been found by a number of authors 2-12 to be of use in these situations. (click here for full article)

Aconite: in a double-blind placebo-controlled trial conducted in France in 19901, aconite was found to be highly effective in the treatment of post-surgical agitation in children. Aconite is commonly used for both pre and post-surgical anxiety and of the fear of dying.

Allium cepa: neuralgia of the stump following amputation.

Argentum nit: anxiety and panic in anticipation of the surgical procedure before the event.

Arnica: the master remedy for tissue damage from all causes, particularly where the damage is associated with bruised pain. It aids recovery from tissue damage of surgical origin, reduces post-surgical bruising and swelling and is very effective at reducing post-surgical pain. Arnica also has a significant role to play in reducing the risk of post surgical haemorrhage as well as surgical shock, a condition that results in capillaries and arterioles all filling with blood at the same time, leading to insufficient arterial pressure. Arnica can also be useful with people on long-term intravenous therapy where they run the risk of developing phlebitis and haematomas. Arnica can help to reduce this risk.
