Thoughts on the world, homeopathy, mindfulness and food...
A collection of blog posts - feel free to respond with your thoughts and comments - I love to have feedback - thank you!
It was great to read this (shared with permission of course) update from a mum recently. She's really taken on board using homeopathy for her family and was straight on with getting a kit from Helios as soon as I suggested it, shares her awareness and remedies from it with friends, family and at times folk at work. She's really rather brilliant altogether and whilst I've helped, definitely can't take all the credit here. It's been great to see XXXX get stronger in general, not have the occasions that would land her in hospital, and really fabulous to see how well she dealt with this recently. So finally, after my waffle... more of the story from the brilliant mum: "Hey Em, just wanted to save a massive thanks for your steer on remedies for XXXX. I spoke to the doc on Monday after the development of the white pus - he diagnosed as bacterial tonsilitis and prescribed penicillin. However, he agreed to delay starting the antibiotics given she was doing well in herself. Come Tuesday the white pus was starting to disappear and temp had gone. Today there is no pus at all. Needless to say no need for antibiotics. It's incredible to have witnessed to her little body fight it off all by itself, without her being particularly unwell, with some support from remedies and some immune boosting additions (vit c, echinacea and elderberry syrup). Such a great result when you think we first came to see you after the same thing triggered convulsions and ended her up in hospital twice!! " In our times of antibiotic, antimicrobial resistance, it would be just great if there were something out there that could help us deal with infections without resorting to antibiotics every time. I wonder if we'll discover it anytime soon?!? Honestly, I watched Panorama years ago whilst doing a post-graduate homeopathy course with the wonderful Jeremy Sherr. On the program they explained the dangers that we are in with increasing antimicrobial resistance. So what to do, what to do? Well of course... it's obvious, we sat and thought (it was a residential course, I was sat with colleagues, not the royal 'we')... let's explore traditional and complementary medicine perhaps? Stop hitting our heads against a brick wall here? No, what we need is STRONGER antibiotics we were told by the narrator of the show. Now, I'm not saying I don't want to use antibiotics if I need them. I'm not saying I would ever recommend anyone doesn't. But what I don't want, what I really don't want... is not to have access to them due to us having over used them. These are live saving, miraculous medicines. But if we over-do it there's a chance they won't be. Sometimes there's another option, apart from doing more of the same. Sometimes there's an option that helps support our body to deal with things naturally. Sometimes there's an option that doesn't wipe out the 'good bacteria' in our gut along with the 'bad bacteria' that's causing the issues. I'll be doing an Introduction to Homeopathy course in the Autumn over two evenings, if you want to sign up for it drop me a message to em@emmacolley.co.uk and I'll add you to my newsletter list where I'll be talking about dates nearer the time. It'll be online, run via Zoom. I love this phrase used by a 5 year old client. I first saw him as a baby and he's grown up using homeopathy. If he's hurt he'll go get the box of remedies and get his mum to help him find the "crunchy ball for it". I've just realised too that this fab pair were recommended by the mum who wrote the message above. It's a lovely way to share the potential of homeopathy - telling friends and family about how you've used it to success, for minor ailments or more chronic complaints (usually with a practitioner for the more chronic stuff). There's so much out there that tries to suppress gentle, natural medicine (I'll kick the soap box away about how there's not big money for big organisations to be made before I start), that sharing our stories of great outcomes is so worthwhile.
