You Look Good When You Feel Good


BSD

The slogan in a brochure at a local day spa reads “when we look good we feel good.”   Meaning, when we take care of our body and how we look, then we feel better inside.   Is that really true or is there more lying deep below the skin?  This article challenges this contemporary mindset and promotes the premise that genuine health and healing is from the inside out …

Western culture conditions us to believe that when our physical body looks good, we feel good - which is true to some extent.  A new hair style, makeup, beautiful clothes and exercise certainly makes us feel better.  But have you ever seen an eccentric wealthy old lady who piles on the makeup, has a fit body but is miserable?   Does a face lift, tummy tuck or beautiful clothes change what lingers deep inside?

Success is often fueled by transforming a negative life experience into something productive.    Unfortunately for many, this inner drive is a negative energy not completely transformed as  that same energy rises to the surface in the form of diseases.  How often does a workaholic collapse from stress or a care giver become sick with a life threatening disease?

“You Look Good When You Feel Good” means you feel so good at the depth of your soul that you radiate a pure, wholesome, genuine, healthy look on the outside. 

Our vital force is the ultimate source of health and illness as it gives life to our body.  Remove the vital force and our body dies.  Likewise, this life force when healthy radiates health and happiness, while an unhealthy life force expresses itself as a mental illness, depression or a physical disease.    

As a holistic practice, Homeopathy focuses on the mind, the emotions and the physical body.   The underlying causes of unhealthy thoughts and emotions are typically suppressed deep into our subconscious so that we're not aware of it's affect on our lives.   And though suppression may help many survive in the short term, it creates an obstacle to genuine health.  The body reacts to this stored negative energy by slowly developing a chronic illness that eventually disables normal body functions.  

Conventional medicine offers the world of health the gift of diagnosing and managing disease, but it falls short of healing.  Most holistic practices approach healing by balancing energies within the body – i.e. ying and yang - but it doesn't necessarily remove the underlying causes.   Homeopathy takes a different and unique approach to healing.  Like a reset button, appropriately applied homeopathic remedies neutralize the disease energy which allows the body, mind and emotions to heal in a gentle, natural and deep acting process as Nature intended.

To me a healthy person may be attractive and physically fit, but more importantly a healthy person radiates a special energy from inside – it’s called Grace.   All of us have moments of misery and moments of grace.   To thrive in a challenging world is to radiate an inner grace more often than not and to nurture our inner strength and stamina to withstand the difficulties of life.

Yes, cosmetics and exercise contribute to our sense of well being, but it doesn’t begin nor end there.   Homeopathy is a vital component to maintaining true health and happiness that radiates from within, and I invite you to learn more about this amazing healing practice.  Please visit my website at www.holistichealthwithhomeopathy or join my Facebook group at Holistic Health With Homeopathy.  

Thank you.

So What's My Purpose in Life? Finding the Positive Path

Yesterday evening, I attended the first of a four part seminar on the subject of Positive Psychology.  This relatively new psychological approach focuses on the positive aspects in an individual's life as opposed to what is dysfunctional.  It's the belief that success and happiness thrive in an environment where positive qualities are further developed to give meaning and purpose to life.

As I walked into the building where the seminar was held, a fleeing thought passed through my mind about a young man who I've treated for addiction and anger.  The last time we spoke was about a month ago when he had already been sober for over 2 months and I wondered how he was doing.

In my line of work, nothing is coincidence - everything fits into a bigger picture - everything connects.  This evening was a classic example of how pieces of life create a wonderful homeopathic story.

"Coincidentally", his mother phoned just minutes after I returned home concerned that he was regressing.  Both of us were available, so we arranged to meet on Skype for a webcam session within the hour.  

The first thing he said was:  "I have no purpose – I’m clean – but I have no purpose."  
How cool was that?  Just a couple hours before, a useful tool was presented to me that is designed to deal with specifically this issue. 

He explained that "he likes nothing and is only good at fighting."  A couple years prior, he studied a specialized martial arts in another part of the world.  Being a student of martial arts helped him release stress and free him of the walls that blocked his personal development. 

Using this new concept, we explored the things he is good at, what he enjoys, what gives him satisfaction.  We focused on a few key people he admires and the positive qualities he sees in them.  Throughout the conversation, he referred to the many different courses in different professions that he started and didn't finish because of a lack of satisfaction.  He complained that everyone encouraged him to take these courses as a means to avoid getting into trouble.   But he is stuck in an unfulfilled process and not making money.   Now he wants to do something meaningful - he wants a meaningful relationship with a young lady and a meaningful job.   He was clearly moving beyond his past issues of addiction and anger to deal with the more important issues of life.

He went on to talk about how much he enjoyed volunteering for two weeks in a drug recovery facility that he participated in as a teenager.  He was a "big brother" to teenage boys "at risk" and felt good about himself because working with these kids gave meaning and purpose to his life.  But now the two weeks were over and "he was stuck on the other side of that wall".  

Clearly the wall he described doesn't exist physically but rather spiritually within him.  Limitations and disease are derived from dysfunctional energies within us.   The basic premise of Homeopathy is that a similar energy will neutralize that dysfunctional energy.  Homeopathic remedies are energy extracts of substances in creation that are applied based on the principle of "like heals like."   So, the homeopathic remedy most effective to break down this young man's "wall" must have been proven in tests and clinical use to represent the feeling of not having purpose or meaning in life. 

There were five different remedies that came up in my search, but the remedy most similar to his energetic profile is called Graphites.   Graphites is prepared from black lead taken from a pencil which is a mineral carbon containing traces of iron and used in the manufacturing of diamonds, one of the several professions this young man was learning.

The essence of Graphites is described as "finding or unable to find stable values ... issues of self worth and finding one's life purpose... they can't find their own center ... are not master of their feelings and ideas and become prey to outside influences."   This was essentially his story ... now I needed to confirm other aspects of his life to ensure this remedy is indeed homeopathic or similar to his overall, holistic profile.

A few other symptoms that matched this remedy picture were his changing moods, his need to hang on to his possessions (selfishness) and his issues with his father.  During the many sessions we had in the past, he rarely spoke about his father.

The laws of nature teach us that boys are influenced by their fathers and girls by their mothers.  But when these role models are not present, a young person's purpose or direction in life is often clouded and confused as there is no one to emulate or give proper guidance.  A person needing the remedy Graphites is dealing with life without a physically, emotionally or spiritually present father or father figure.  This young man's relationship with his father is almost non-existent and there is currently no other man filling that void. 

I'm not suggesting that this remedy will suddenly make his father appear.  But it should break down the spiritual wall within in him so that perhaps he can eventually have a meaningful relationship with his father or another male role model.  It interesting to note that these type of men have been present in his life - his martial arts teacher and the man who taught him diamond setting - but he's not connected to them now.  

It's been said that everyone comes into this world with everything they need to navigate the journey of life.  So it's quite possible that once this wall is removed, he will tap into his own innate resources and be a male role model (i.e. big brother) for himself as well as others like the teens at risk.

Though this remedy selection is very exciting and seems appropriate, the effectiveness of this or any homeopathic treatment can only be known only after the remedy is administered.  You are invited to follow this unfolding story and observe the process of holistic healing using the principles of Classical Homeopathy and other very relevant practices like Positive Psychology.

Thank you.

Homeopathy for ADHD, Hyperactivity and other related disorders

A child with attention deficit disorder, hyperactivity or mild forms of autism like Asperger syndrome is generally not able to control his or her actions, unless of course there are systems in place to monitor and control their activities.  Conventional medicine is often prescribed to suppress the nervous system which manages the child's energy level, thus allowing teachers to control the learning environment in class.  Sometimes, a teaching assistant is assigned to work one on one with a child with either of these conditions to ensure proper behavior and to refocus the child on his studies when he becomes distracted.   No matter what external support system is in place, the child is not able to control his behavior without practical and/or medical intervention.

The vital force is that "thing" inside every being and every substance in creation that gives it life and character.  When the vital force is strong and healthy, the organism is healthy; but when it's sick or there is discomfort in the vital force, the body is sick.  In the case of children with ADHD, Asperger syndrome or other related mental disorders, the vital force is expressing its discomfort or dysfunction on the mental level.

To illustrate, an autistic person has psychological symptoms like blindness to social cues, communication problems, minimal eye contact, apparent lack of empathy, hyper-focused interests, need for structure and routine, trouble fitting in, literal to a fault, bizarre behaviors, difficulty with sports or athletics, precocious reading abilities, physical hypersensitivity, fear of failure and low self esteem. The mission of Classical Homeopathy is to find within these typical symptoms those characteristics which are strange, rare and peculiar;  that is, to find out what makes him or her different from most other autistic people.

I had a case of young boy in nursery school who came for treatment of allergies and chronic cough.  His speech and muscle development were delayed as an infant, and he didn't have the instinctive social skills to participate in classroom activities with the teacher or the students.  He complained that he can't focus on the classwork, and the teacher commented that he can not process a series of instructions when given at one time.

On the physical level, he is allergic to animals with fur, trees, grass, and dust;  he reacts with intense itching all over his body, especially in his eyes.  He has a chronic cough that often develops into bronchitis, and had chronic ear infections as a baby.

The interview with the little boy was entirely different than a typical homeopathic consultation.  Since his social skills were limited, I asked him to draw pictures and to tell me the story in each picture.   The first picture was a boy with an orange face jumping into a pool; the second was a rainbow; and the third were abstract items that he described as fire, electric, metal, confusion, spike, punch, grass, water. The common theme in all three pictures was water.  Throughout the interview he repeatedly described fire, sun, air and he had a peculiar affinity to the colors blue, red and orange.  He told me that the pool is a place for only children and babies - no adults.  I observed that he did not look at me unless I asked him to do so.  He never mentioned his parents, nor his teachers nor siblings.

Water was the key to the remedy because this was the one thing that stood out in the interview.  His favorite color is blue and he told me that water and air are blue so the appropriate remedy had to have these characteristics.  A search of these sensations along with the physical symptoms lead me to select the remedy Neon.

Neon is obtained by liquefaction of air and is classified as an inert element.  An inert element is one which doesn't combine with other elements because it's Atomic Number is 10 making it's outer orbit complete.  Interesting, this element is colorless in nature but reddish, orange when pressurized in tubes and blue when a little mercury is added.

When selecting remedies that are similar to that described by the client, a homeopath must understand how the original source actually functions in nature.  Based on all the information accumulated in this session, this remedy was the most homeopathic (i.e. similar) to the non-human specific characteristics that this little boy described.

As of this writing, the child in this case continues to progress well with his social skills consistently and gradually improving.


Neon is only one remedy amongst many that has successfully treated mild forms of autism in clinical practice.  Other remedies  include Helium - an inert element, DPT - derived from the vaccine of the same name, Oryza sativa - aka Rice, Carcinosin and Tuberculinum -  two nosode or miasmatic remedies derived from diseased substances, and various other common mineral, plant and animal source remedies.

It is strongly advised to work with a trained classical homeopath when using homeopathy to treat chronic disorders of this nature.  Though homeopathic remedies are considered safe and are sold over-the-counter in health foods stores, self-prescribing for you or your family members may not have the same results as that which is available by a homeopath practitioner.

The Effect of Suppression on Health

To understand the effect of suppressive medication on a person's health consider the follow story.

A young child at the age of 5 had serious social problems with classmates bullying him in school.  During this same time, he developed a skin rash or eczema behind his ears and knee caps.  His mother took him to the dermatologist, who prescribed a treatment of hydro-cortisone cream to aid healing and an antihistamine to reduce the itching.  Within 2 weeks, the condition disappeared; mother was pleased that her son was "healthier" and the child felt physically more comfortable.

Two months later, the child had another skin rash.  This time it appeared again behind his ears and knee caps but also behind the elbows and on the creases in his neck.  Once again, the dermatologist prescribed cortisone creams only this time the prescription was much stronger.  The skin condition never really disappeared after that but the treatment prescribed continued off and on for several months.

Six months later, the same child developed asthma.  Now his mother took him to the pediatrician who prescribed an inhaler to assist breathing and a steroid to reduce the inflammation in the respiratory system.  At the recommendation of the pedestrian, she also had the child examined by an allergist who recommended a series of allergy shots because he was apparently allergic to dust, dust mites and the like.

What happened to the child?  The story really began with an emotional experience.  The child's reaction to that experience created a physical symptom that manifested itself on the exterior of the body in the form of a skin rash.  The skin is our first line of defense when combating the ills of the world; it is also an exit for foreign energy to leave the body.  Any change in the normal condition of the skin is usually the first message that the body gives us that something is disturbing our vital force.  The most effective approach in dealing with theses symptoms is to question what's happening on a deeper level that's causing this dis-ease (disturbance).

The initial treatment of hydro-cortisone and antihistamine essentially suppressed the skin rash and the itching sensation.  The body naturally and instinctively tried again to release the negative or foreign energy from the body through the skin, but this time the symptoms reappeared stronger and in more places (behind the elbows and neck).

The second conventional treatment continued to suppress the physical symptoms, only this time the energy which produced the original exterior skin rash found another place to express itself: on the inner organs of the respiratory system in the form of asthma and in a series of allergic conditions.  

We know that energy can not be destroyed; it can only change.   Therefore, the energy that produced the skin rash is the same energy that caused the asthma.  And if we trace the cause we understand that the emotional effect of the bullies in the class room caused the entire condition.  Had this child been treated with homeopathy at the onset of the skin disorder, the emotional discomfort of dealing with the bullies could have been removed, allowing the child to develop healthier social skills and avoiding the discomfort of eczema and asthma.

Much of conventional medicine suppresses or manages physical symptoms without healing or curing the inner dis-ease.  We forget that the "thing" that gives us life also gives us health or sickness. Homeopathy focuses treatment on the energy that creates the symptoms to eradicate the inner dis-ease or discomfort.

The more symptoms are suppressed, the more complicated the journey to cure and health in any mode of health care.  Let us not forget the list of contra-indications that accompanies every prescription of conventional medication.  Perhaps the conventional method of suppressing symptoms is causing these medically induced contra-indications.

A Case of Stress, Allergies and the Desert ...

Roz is a respected psychologist who was referred to me by a mutual friend and colleague.  For many years, Roz suffered from watery eyes, allergies, asthma, and constipation.   She tried everything from allergy shots and other conventional medicines to herbs and vitamin supplements to relieve her of the discomforts from all these conditions.  Nothing seemed to work.

In July 2007, we met for the first time.  Roz began her session by telling me about her dream to live on a horse ranch in Arizona and practice a specialized psychology known as Equine Therapy.  She began riding  horses shortly after her brother died when she was just a teenager.  It gave her a sense of being in control, having a certain freedom and power.  As a psychologist, she attended an Equine Therapy workshop a few years ago and discovered a connection with her love for horses and her passion for psychology.

"This workshop made so much sense how horses can be agents to help people learn about themselves.  Horses being prey animals are very in touch with themselves.  They need that ability to survive in the wilderness.  Being brought up in a family where feelings didn't flow, I began to understand that horses see feelings as information - not good or bad, right or wrong - just information to help us in the world.  
For example if you're angry, it means that someone is impinging on your boundaries and you need to set boundaries.  I also saw how horses are so adept at experiencing congruence... so if you're in a round pin with a horse and you're angry but you have a smile on your face, the horse will understand that there is something incongruent.  This was something I experienced in my life... my senses didn't jive with what was going on."

Roz went on to describe the day her brother died.  It was Thanksgiving but not like other years.  This year the family went to dinner at a restaurant when they got the call that her brother was in the hospital - dead.  When everyone returned home, she and her siblings were sent to bed and then "everything broke loose".

I asked her to describe what she meant by broke loose.  "More like confusion.  Things going on in every which way and you can't make sense of it.  It's out of control.  I feel like I'm expressing an inner sense of out of control."

So I then asked her to describe something that's out of control.  "Right now physically, my bowels, my reactions, my eyes tearing, allergies, not having my house sold on my conditions, and not finding a property in Arizona."

I asked her to describe something in nature that's out of control.  "Well I live 2 blocks from the ocean and sometimes I get the fear of a tsunami and the ocean engulfing me."

"What's the sensation," I asked.  "Not being able to breath and being underwater and helpless; not being able to do anything about it and being suffocated; being in a state of fear until I die, not peaceful - it wouldn't be a peaceful death.  There is something that's gotten uncomfortable about being near water and I want to be near nature - Arizona and the desert.  We moved to Long Beach to be near the ocean but now it doesn't feel right and I need to get back to the land and the animals.  Maybe because I feel more in control of the land and nature. "

"Tell me about the desert." I interjected.  "Dry, peaceful, feels like it holds in it that which is sacred, very sacred and very spiritual.  History.  It has dangers and you have to be aware.  I often take silent walks.  Once, I got too close to a cactus with pricklies that jumped out at me.  There are things that you have to really be aware of.  Take nothing for granted.  Those are real dangers and not like crossing the street
and getting hit by a car.  The desert is the epitome of earthiness, where as the city is the epitome of unrealness.

"What do you mean by earthiness?"  She replied "in this area, it's earthy.  A water loop river and land, open and green and dry areas.  People are earthy.   They care about you and each other; they are friendly and are about what's real.  This area where we want to live is close enough to town for my husband who's a city boy,  close enough to (the city of) Austin and yet it's like in a little oasis.  Three
thousand acres of cattle ranch that's been subdivided and there is water runny through it and wild deer, antelopes and wild turkeys and cattle walking around.  People are concerned about growth and plant life and nature.  I love to take care of my plants - I have a lot of plants; I want to be able to find out about birds that are flying and flowers and plants."

It was clear to me that Roz needed a remedy from the plant kingdom.  She was totally affected by her environment and was driven to live somewhere more conducive to her inner, spiritual desire of being in the desert.  Now I had to determine which desert plant was most similar to Roz's character and had proven to cure allergies, watery eyes, constipation, and had mental and emotional symptoms similar to
what she described.  

At this point it was important for me to understand her physical symptoms to ensure that the remedy I select had been proven to cover her chief complaints.  She described her breathing difficulties as having a "tightness in her chest, as if something is blocking it so that enough air can't get into the lungs." She said, "I feel it in my throat and my chest, like a narrowing of everything..." and I observed her make a motion with her hands which she described as "squeezing... making things smaller... if you have a big space you can hold more air, and if you have little space you can hold just so much air.  My throat and lungs squeeze to allow for less air to come in."

Roz was allergic to many fruits; in fact, she "could not be near an orange without her throat closing", or strawberries or apples as her lips would swell up; however, melons like cantaloupe, honeydew, watermelon or bananas or grapefruits were okay.  As a child, Roz had an allergic reaction to penicillin - her feet "blew up".  She prefers hot climates and had a dreaded dislike for cold weather.

I also asked Roz to select whatever card or cards from a deck of picture cards and match the cards to words that would describe the pictures she selected.  The purpose of this exercise is to assist the client in revealing his or her inner essence by paying close attention to the descriptions of each card.  Roz selected nearly 30 cards and used the following words to describe the pictures she selected... pure,
sacred, peaceful, danger, water, dryness, tightness, heavy, spiritual, desert, cactus, horses and fruit.

Coincidentally, though I hardly believe it was coincidence, I had just purchased the book entitled "The Desert World, A Homeopathic Exploration" by Todd Rowe, M.D.  Dr. Rowe explains that desert remedies have an affinity to the following:
  • Water:  the desert either has too little or too much water and Roz was struggling with issues of water throughout the case taking.  Tearing or watery eyes (non-absorption of water) was one of her chief complaints, and she also had the feeling of being unsafe living near the ocean.
  • Expansion and contraction: Roz essentially described something that expands and contracts when she explained her hand motions as squeezing (see above)
  • Plants in the desert struggle for survival: the issue of survival was present but her mannerism and descriptions were not consistent with typical animal remedies, so this confirmed for me that the remedy was a desert plant.
  • Spirituality:  the desert is a place of mystery and spirituality and Roz was certainly connect to this experience.

What made this case very unique was Roz's connection to horses.  A search of the materia medica for desert plants with an affection for horses lead me to select Anhalonium as the remedy in this case. Anhalonium is prepared from a cactus found in Texas and Northern Mexico.  Now isn't that funny... that's about where Roz wanted to live.

Roz took one dose of Anhalonium 200C.  Three weeks later, she phone me to let me know that she was doing much better.  Her allergies, asthma and constipation had all improved and she was noticeably less stressful.  I instructed her to do nothing and follow up with me in a few more weeks.  Later that night, our mutual friend called to tell me that Roz was admitted to the hospital for a high fever.  The doctors
conducted several tests on her and only found that she had a mild bladder infection which cleared up in a day or so and without any normal discomfort associated with bladder infections.  In fact, at our one and only follow up session, Roz commented that if she hadn't been to the hospital, she would have never known that she had the bladder infection which I then discovered was a reoccurring old symptom.  The fever and the reoccurring bladder infection were excellent signs that the homeopathic treatment was very effective.

At the time of this writing it was nearly a year since I last met with Roz and she was doing great.  All her physical symptoms are gone, she sold her house by the ocean, moved to Texas (not Arizona) and rented a horse ranch where she practices Equine Therapy.  It's very unusual to have such amazing and quick results but hey I'm not complaining and neither is Roz.
