Allen J. Johnson, ND - Homeopathy

Do the following complaints come from you or someone you know?

"It's hay fever season again, and my nose and eyes are really terrible this year."
"My doctor tells me I'll probably have to take this blood pressure medicine for the rest of my life."
"Paul has had five earaches this winter. Antibiotics don't seem to help. The doctor is talking about putting in tubes..."
"I don't know what's the matter with me, but I'm tired all the time since I had the flu three months ago. My doctor says there's nothing wrong..."
"They've diagnosed Johnny as hyperactive. His teacher can't control him, and neither can we..."
"I've had these wretched headaches for the last seven years."
"My family know to stay clear of me before my period. I'm downright nasty for about four days."
"I've been taking tetracycline for eight months and my acne is still bad."
"Ever since Dad died, Mother hasn't been her old self - she sleeps badly and seems to have lost interest in everything."
"Steve's been in bed three weeks with hepatitis. The doctor said ther's no treatment.
"My doctor prescribed Valium for my nerves, but I really don't want to take the stuff. I know Valium is not the answer..."
"I don't know what is wrong with me...I seem to have lost all interest in sex."
"Ever since I fell and injured my tailbone four years ago, I've had back problems and my energy has been low."

Sound familiar? Each of the above comments carries with it a sense of frustration and resignation; that this is the way it is - another one of life's hard knocks for which there is no solution.

Perhaps not. Your current emotional or physical health doesn't have to be unalterable, just because conventional medicine hasn't been able to help.

Homeopathy: A Way Out

There may be a way out - a way that is safe, effective, and gentle. Homeopathy is such a way. A scientifice system of medicine, homeopathy has been restoring people to health for 180 years.

Homeopathic medicines come from plants, minerals, and animal substances. Carefully diluted many times in homeopathic pharmacies, the medicines become highly energized and act dynamically on the organism, often bringing about profound changes on mental, emotional, and physical levels. Unlike modern drugs, homeopathic medicines have no side effects. They are completely safe.

It Works from Within

What's exciting about homeopathy is its ability to stimulate the body's defense mechanisms and promote healing from within. Employed by a skilled practitioner, homeopathy cures problems like hay fever, shingles, pre-menstrual tension and sysmenorrhea, influenza, mononucleosis, injury, etc. Homeopathy deals with most pediatric, gynecological, and general medical problems. It is equally effective in psychological disorders, such as debilitating grief, suicidal depression, and exaggerated fears.

Homeopathy has Limits

Advanced organic pathology like cancer, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and other severe degenerative diseases involve cellular changes that can rarely be reversed. Nonetheless, homeopathy can help those who suffer from such illnesses to feel stronger and happier.

In general, the more deep-seated an illness, the more difficult it is to cure. Of course, homeopathy does not deal with surgical conditions.

The Homeopathic Interview

One of the biggest differences between homeopathy and conventional medicine is the interview. Whereas the usual M.D. rarely spends more than 15 minutes with a patient, the homeopath takes an hour or longer for the first interview. He listens intently and observes carefully. Everything the patient says is considered important; nothing is irrelevant. Every thing you always wanted to tell your doctor, but never dared for fear of being told, "It's all in your mind," you can tell your homeopath. All the bits and pieces become useful to the homeopath as he searches for the precise medicine that will restore your health. To cure your ulcer, he may look for a medicine that will also reduce your anxiety. To abolish your asthma, he must find a medicine that not only matches your respiratory symptoms, but also accounts for any panic and fear you may have.

Individualization

You are an individual. You differ from every other person, and you need to be treated uniquely. Four aptients with hepatitis may get four different homeopathic medicines, not because their disease is different, but because they react to their disease differently.

Cost

The homeopathic physician's charges are comparable to those of a conventional doctor. However, there is no costly prescription to fill because homeopathic medicine is included with the office visit. In a chronic illness, you will spend 60 to 90 minutes with the homeopath. Thereafter, a half hour a month is usually sufficient.

Many patients report considerable savings in medical expenses after switching to homeopathy.

Are homeopathic remedies safe?

Homeopathic remedies are a unique, potentised energy medicine, drawn from the plant, mineral and animal worlds. They are diluted to such a degree that not one molecule of the original substance can be detected (after the 12c potency).

They work by gently boosting the natural energy of the body, and are very safe, even for pregnant and sensitive patients. There is no danger of addiction or toxicity.

What Can Homeopathy Treat?

"Homeopathy cures a higher percentage of cases than any other form of treatment."

Mahatma Gandhi

Homeopathy is highly effective. In acute and chronic disease, whether the symptoms are physical, mental, or emotional homeopathy produces subtle, yet often dramatic healing. From newborns to centenarians, most people can benefit from homeopathy. Homeopaths treat common illnesses such as allergies, asthma, digestive disorders, gynecological problems, skin conditions, insomnia, migraines, chronic fatigue, and arthritis. When the homeopath finds the correct homeopathic medicine for the individual, most diseases with reversible pathology can be treated.

Although homeopaths prescribe for the whole person rather than the specific disease state; injuries and acute illness such as colds, flus, fevers, sore throats, and bronchitis can improve very quickly with homeopathic treatment. Homeopaths know that antibiotics aren't the only successful treatment for infections. Ear infections, conjunctivitis, bladder infections, vaginal infections, boils, cellulitis frequently respond quickly to homeopathic treatment.

In cases of kidney stones, gall bladder disease, ovarian cysts and uterine fibroids, the need for surgery may sometimes be avoided with prompt homeopathic treatment. However, with more advanced or emergency cases, conventional medicine or surgery may be the treatment of choice, and knowledgeable homeopaths recognize when this is the case.

Homeopathy for Mental and Emotional Problems

Homeopathy has the potential for producing far more than just improvements in your physical health. The homeopathic medicine can be a catalyst that starts a profound transformation in your life. Homeopathy is very effective for treating anxiety, depression, grief, phobias and other mental disorders.
