A whole host of talented and beautiful women have joined together to sing the praises of homeopathy. The campaign, launched by the Homeopathy Action Trust aims to raise awareness of homeopathy and promote its health benefits to the public.

Researchers from the Jaypee University of Information Technology, Waknaghat, Himachal Pradesh, in India has shown looked at the ability of homeopathic medicines as anticancer agents.

The research, published in the journal Homeopathy, looked at various strengths of dilution of remedies (in mother tincture) – 30C, 200C, 1M and 10M – and their effect on lines of cancer cells.

The remedies reviewed were Sarsaparilla, Ruta graveolens and Phytolacca decandra.

The results showed that the ultra-diluted preparations and particularly with the mother tincture variations had significant effects in the respective cancer cell lines, producing both cyto-toxicity and a decrease in cell proliferation.

Research published in the BMC journal of Complementary and Alternative Medicine has looked at the dilemma created by earlier research that showed that calc carb demonstrated the ability to kill cancer cell in vivo – it didn’t demonstrate the same effects ‘ex vivo’.

The results showed that clac carb achieved this cancer-killing effect through a “two-step” mechanism.

Calc carb started by inducing cell death in tumour cells through the activation of the immune system and then through down regulating a key process linked to p53 (the Bcl-2:Bax ratio).

This causes a loss in the mitochondrial transmembranes – and the release of cytochrome c which is followed by the activation of a caspase cascade.

The treatment of side effects and adverse reactions of vaccinations by means of traditional homeopathy is an important topic in homeopathic practices. Early treatment by means of traditional homeopathy is highly recommended, if there is discomfort after a vaccination. It is a way to reinstate the balance that has been disrupted by the vaccination and in many cases can achieve improvement or even healing. As one of the few modes of treating this, homeopathy is capable of incorporating underlying causes (i.e. the vaccination) into its therapy regimen.
The question arises, how should one treat these kinds of pathologies? In the literature you will find a large number of approaches. However, some of these have nothing to do with the philosophy of homeopathy. Thuja as a kind of cure-all for effects of vaccinations continues to be very popular.

Possible effects of vaccinations:

The following section lists potential effects of vaccinations which frequently do not occur until weeks, months or even years later, when it is either no longer possible to see a causal connection to the vaccination or it is described as not having a connection to the vaccination. Therefore every case must be clarified homeopathically to see whether there is a connection to the vaccination or not.

Potential reactions to vaccinations:

• There is chronic weakness of the immune system, coupled with propensity for infections (frequently becoming apparent as a result of repeated inner ear infections).
•  Encephalopathy = disease of the brain (This is a brain edema caused by a vaccination primarily concerning children less than three years of age as they can react to vaccinations with an inflammation due to the fact that their brains are not fully developed yet). Encephalopathy is frequently overlooked, as it is not always connected to manifest symptoms. Frequently there can be later cessations of the development. Encephalopathy can also be one of the causes for Cri encéphalique.
• Cri encéphalique (usually very penetrating and shrill) is a sign of possible damage to the brain.
• Auto immune disease
• Triggering of allergies such as asthma skin allergies, hay fever, food allergies etc.
• Convulsive fits
• Epilepsy
• Autism
• Sleep addiction
• Sleep reversal (the child is awake and restless at night and sleeps during the day)
• Character changes
• Behavioral excesses, difficult to train/educate child, hyperactive children, apathy
• Diabetes
• Multiple Sclerosis
• Delay of language development and developmental standstill

Diagnosis of vaccination damage

PVS (post-vaccination syndrome) is essentially diagnosed on the basis of carefully chosen questions directed to the patient or his parents. The practitioner should always consider seriously a diagnosis of post-vaccination syndrome whenever the complaints started at the time of, or in the period following, vaccination and a special treatment should be implemented as a first line of approach. This is to obviate an endless and ill-fated stream of examinations and therapies. Where positive results are achieved, the suspected diagnosis of PVS is confirmed. Only as a second resort, if the patient does not benefit fully from the treatment implemented, should a follow-up diagnosis be made.

Because of its high degree of reliability and efficacy, this method offers an excellent opportunity for establishing the cause of certain illnesses. One can trace step by step the vaccine, medicine or illness that has caused the complaint. This scheme also allows us to find the cause of the often discussed ‘Jungle syndrome’, a syndrome which has claimed so many young soldiers as victims and for which traditional medicine can offer neither an effective diagnostic procedure nor a satisfactory therapy.

Treatment with vaccination nosodes after a vaccination

The homeopathic method as applied in the treatment of vaccination damage consists of administering four successive remedies of the suspected vaccine. Each course consists of the following dilutions 30, 200, 1M and 10M. The duration of a remedy course depends on the severity of the problems and the reactions of the patient and can vary from 2 weeks to 2 months. Potencies should be repeated until no further improvement is seen before passing to the next potency. This method was introduced byTinus Smits.

Homeopath and nutritionist Sima Ash writes about the link between antibiotic use and serious illness. Please see original article by clicking here.

Antibiotics are used for a wide variety of health issues and have helped many when used for the proper reasons. However today, 40% of children who see a physician leave with a prescription for antibiotics – some for minor illnesses and even for those illnesses known to be viral – just to be safe. As most of us have heard, the overuse of antibiotics has led to more stubborn infections caused by more resistant organisms, but are you aware that antibiotics have been association with gut infections?

How do antibiotics create pathogenic gut infections?

A September 2013 study out of Stanford University revealed that in the first 24 hours after taking oral antibiotics, a spike in carbohydrate availability takes place. This surplus of carbohydrates combined with the reduction of gut friendly bacteria (due to taking the antibiotics) allows at least two potentially deadly pathogens to blossom. With the depletion of gut friendly bacteria, other problems arise as well. Researchers noted that friendly bacteria manufacture vitamins and help the immune system function. Antibiotics disturb the balance of good bacteria and can take a month or more to stabilize – however some of the bacterial strains seem to be permanently lost. This is why supplementing with an effective probiotic is critical.

The connection between antibiotics and eczema:

The British Journal of Dermatology reported, in June of 2013, that children who took antibiotics in their first year of life were 40% more likely to develop eczema. Simply put, the more antibiotics given to a child in their first year, the higher the likelihood of developing eczema. For each additional round of antibiotics given, the risk of eczema rose an additional 7%. Amoxicillin and other broad-spectrum antibiotics were deemed to have the strongest impact on developing eczema.

Can antibiotic use cause irritable bowel disease (IBD)?

Pediatrics looked at data on more than 1 million kids aged 17 and younger. The children were followed for at least two years and 500 health practices across the United Kingdom participated. Researchers found that 64% of the children with IBD had taken an antibiotic at least once. The risk of developing an IBD was five times greater if antibiotics were taken before the age of one compared to the infants that did not receive antibiotics. Overall there was an 84% increased risk of developing bowel diseases for the children given antibiotics, although researchers believe the real world risk is still very low. In the United States, pediatric prescription for antibiotics is roughly 49 million. The research authors surmise that would be associated with an additional 1,700 cases of IBD every year. They suggest parents inform their pediatrician if IBDs run in the family so informed decisions regarding the use of antibiotics can be made.

Could autism be linked to antibiotics?

A study published in Medical Hypothesis (2005), in which researchers examined 206 children with autism, all under age three. The lead researcher reported that each child received an average of 12 antibiotics during their lifetimes – mainly for ear infections. The lead researcher believes that the introduction of amoxicillin (used in brand names such as Augmentin) correlates with the skyrocketing rates of autism observed in California and potentially the rest of the U.S.
