Real Foods Research  Weston A. Price was a dentist who traveled the world aiming to learn why so many of his patients in the United States had prevalent tooth decay and cavities.  Price learned that people who ate traditional foods had virtually no cavities or tooth decay, nor even cancer, d

From 2020-2022, I treated over 150 cases of COVID-19 in my small homeopathic practice, mostly for people living in other cities and states. When I reflect back, there is one case that stands out because it shows so clearly how effectively homeopathy works for treating severe illnesses. The case was Steve*, who was a 52-year-old with comorbidities of obesity, depression, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).  By the time Steve started homeo

Homeopathic remedies can prevent illness! Here's the protocol we use for preventing the flu. Evidence that Homeopathic Remedies Can Be Used to Prevent Illnesses Homeopathic remedies have a long history of being used preventatively to help avoid and lessen the effects of contagious illnesses.

When I first started making homemade broth over 15+ years ago, I followed the recipe in Nourishing Traditions

Homeopathy and COVID-19 As in past epidemics , homeopathy has proven to be effective at treating COVID-19 illness. As evidenced in a double-blind, randomized study , homeopathic remedies can reduce the likelihood of severe COVID-19 illness and speed up the recovery from the illness. The study found that people using specific homeopathic remedies experienced "a shorter period of illness, with evidence of fewer hospitalizations, than those taking placebo." In treating over 15

As cold and flu season arrives, there are a few homeopathic remedies that are crucial to have on-hand. When used properly, these remedies can quickly stop an illness from worsening and, in many cases, completely cure the illness within a short time period. Homeopathic remedies work by stimulating the body to cure the underlying cause of the symptoms, and they do so without side effects. These five remedies are useful at the beginning of a cold/flu, when the symptoms are stil

With the return of cold and flu season, I wanted to share with you one remedy that's often indicated for flu symptoms: Gelsemium sempervirens . While it certainly isn't the only homeopathic flu remedy, I find that Gelsemium is a good match for many cases of flu . It is my go-to remedy whenever my kids get the flu, and has worked well for many of my homeopathic clients, too. When used properly, homeopathic treatment of flu will result in much milder symptoms and a more rapid
