Little philosophy,some practical tips this month.
Little philosophy,some practical tips this month.
Today I will write about daily practical tips for treatment of various disorders.
The subjects will be short and I will write just one or two tips about each subject .
When I write about diabetes for example, then it is clear that whole books are written about this subject but when I write about cinnamon then this is just a single tip it is good to know about.
Other tips are proven homeopathic remedies ,some of which I have used frequently and wrote them down because I have found them useful indeed.
The best is to print out what you need and show this to the homeopathic pharmacy.
Some of the disorders are of more serious nature and the tips are just to help you supporting treatment already prescribed by your doctor.
Let's start with Hypertension: just two tips:
1] increase drastically your potassium intake by eating plenty vegetables and fruits [one or two potatoes per day can add a lot of potassium
2 ] learning some simple breathing exercises can work miracles [contact my talmidot to teach you this][or for nutritional advise in general]
ada : 02 6451246 [in gilo]
manu : 02 9932862 or 0545292337
neta : 02 5639232 or 0523466288
you may use up to 2 teaspoons of cinnamon a day and prepare all at once and divide over the day.
Vomiting: except from adding ORS [see one of the former leaflets] give some tea of cloves to drink.[some 4 cloves on a glass of water]
If you or your child are extremely weak from loss of fluid [being it after gastroenteritis, heavy menstrual bleeding or whatever kind of fluid loss and then -after correcting fluid and mineral loss- you feel you are still not getting better quick enough, then go and buy:
helonias /china D6 aa [=equal parts] ad 30cc [all in one bottle] and take for one or more days 4 times a day some 5 drops on or under the tongue [not at the same time with food in the mouth] and the weakness may disappear within hours!
If you have a baby/young child who is often sick [bronchitis etc] and is sweating heavily especially in the neck area and possibly also has a "large head"[compared to other children] and is fond of eggs [don't give children below the age of 9 months eggs to eat] or in case the baby is only breast-feeding and the mother is "crazy" [teshuka] about eggs then you may consider giving the child just a few globules of calcium carbonicun 200 [ask for one "manna"] to suck and in the shortest time the child may be healthy.
The heavy sweating may sometimes the only indicated symptom to decide about this remedy.
Children who have been treated endless with antibiotics may in this case get better with just one dose of calcium carbonicum.
This is one of the proven miracles of homeopathy.
At the same vein: If a child is "crazy "about olives then there is a fair chance that the homeopathic remedy lycopodium will heal heal from whatever he has,
[may sound strange but I have seen this often enough]
By lycopodium D30 globuli and give just one time a 3 globules to suck.
For children with fluid "behind the eardrums" who are suggested to have ear tubes [kaftorim] it may be far better to give them kal. mur. D6 for a few weeks to suck, twice a day a 3 is enough.
The same remedy may be helpful for people with get easily ear pain when they have to travel] by air or from Jerusalem to the dead sea etc [height differences]
Carsick? try ginger before traveling of buy homeopathy:
cocculus/tabacum/petroleum D 6 aa ad 30cc and take a few times a day some 5 drops on or under the tongue.
Mothers who are exhausted from "night-watching"[breast feeding] or families who have to take care of sick family and get to little sleep should first of all of course try to get extra sleep but a dose of cocculus 200 [ask a again for one "manna"] can help quite a bit to get their strength back.[just take half of the small tube with little globules in it, under the tongue and suck them]
To help fractures heal more quickly:
calc phosph / symphytum D 6 aa ad 50cc twice a day some 5 drops on or under the tongue for a few weeks.
Acupuncture can be most important also especially for the proper healing of wrist or ankle fractures!
Varicose veins: easiest and cheapest treatment: 2 to 3 cups of rosemary tea a day [may also help your memory.........!!]
Acute asthma [as an emergency ,but consult also your doctor]: arsenicum/ natrium sulph /asa foetida D30 aa ad 50 cc, every hour or so a 5drops on or under the tongue and reduce to twice a day while getting better.
Migraine: take often ginger tea and also eat the ginger at the bottom of the cup.
Try also, if the ginger is not enough, the following homeopathic mixture [in case you can't consult an homeopathic practitioner]:
glonoinum d12, belladonna D6,,gelsemium D6,,nux vomica D6 , iris vers. D6,,sanguinaria D6,,nat. mur.D12 all in one bottle aa ad 50cc ,
take every 2 hours some 5 drops
And to stay a bit connected with parsha miketz:[this shabbath of chanuka]
If you never remember a dream [pharao did,but this was dictated from above] then you may be lacking vitamin B6. [and at the same time this lack may cause tingling fingers and swollen hands especially in the morning][so called carpal tunnel syndrome]
you may take a capsule of 100 mg vitamin B6 every day and consult your doctor.[no operation!!]
For cts [carpal tunnel syndrome][pressure on one of the hand nerves] acupuncture is very effective [just 2 needles]
In the future time some more tips b"h.
A Chanuka sameach and in case you eat to many fatty sufganiot [ of course they should be prepared with extra virgin olive oil] then there is still a "rescue"[hatzala] for this :
take: nux vomica/carbo veg.D30 a few globules every few hours or just chew on some anise seeds [half a teaspoon and swallow them afterwards.

don't suppress fever.........and the body wisdom will heal the disease
Fever can unlock autism's grip: study
By Michael Conlon
CHICAGO (Reuters) - Fever can temporarily unlock autism's grip on children, a finding that could shed light on the roots of the condition and perhaps provide clues for treatment, researchers reported on Monday.
It appears that fever restores nerve cell communications in regions of the autistic brain, restoring a child's ability to interact and socialize during the fever, the study said.
"The results of this study are important because they show us that the autistic brain is plastic, or capable of altering current connections and forming new ones in response to different experiences or conditions," said Dr. Andrew Zimmerman, a pediatric neurologist at Baltimore's Kennedy Krieger Institute, who was one of the study authors.
The study, published in the journal Pediatrics, was based on 30 children with autism aged 2 to 18 who were observed during and after a fever of at least 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit.
More than 80 percent of those with fever showed some improvements in behavior during it and 30 percent had dramatic improvements, the researchers said. The change involved things like longer concentration spans, more talking, improved eye contact and better overall relations with adults and other children.
Zimmerman's team said the fever effect had been noted anecdotally in the past by parents and doctors.
Lee Grossman, president and chief executive officer of the Autism Society of America, said he had noticed it in his own son, who is now 20.
But he noted in an interview that the study's authors said expanded research was needed on the fever effect and its implications. "It's good that they've noticed this and are bringing it forward," he said.
People with autism spectrum disorders suffer in varying degrees from limited social interactions, lack of verbal and non-verbal communication and other abilities.
As many as 1.5 million Americans have some form of autism, according to ASA. It is not known what causes the condition.
Zimmerman said that while there currently is no definitive medical treatment, speech and language therapy started as soon as possible after diagnosis "can make a significant difference."
He called the fever research, headed by colleague Laura Curran, "an exciting lead" that could help point the way to a treatment that would reconnect the autistic brain. He said the fever effect was believed found only in children, whose brains are more "plastic" than those of adults.
