Fighting the Battle of the Bulge with homeopathy

1

Obesity is a type of malnutrition. Yes, we should call it that. The stereotype picture of malnutrition is a picture of an emaciated child in Ethiopia or Sudan. However, obesity is also a type of malnutrition- an over nutrition which leads to accumulation of fat in the body. More than 35% of U.S. adults are obese. Childhood obesity prevalence also remains high at about 17 percent.
Obesity predisposes one to many disease conditions that include heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and certain types of cancer, some of the leading causes of preventable death. I am tempted to call Obesity the mother of all life-style related diseases.

Homeopathy helps shingles

4

Shingles is caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox. As usual, viral diseases do not have specific treatment in conventional medicine. Anti-viral therapy with its concomitant side-effects is usually given to the person who has shingles. Post-herpetic neuralgia does not usually respond well to the usual pain-killers. This is because of the damage cause to the nerves carrying the sensory impulses. This is where homeopathy steps in.

The Psyche of a Terrorist

5

A lot of people, esp. mental health professionals, have come up with theories about the psyche of a terrorist. Why does one become a terrorist? What is going on inside his mind? What could be the mental make-up of this person?
As homeopaths we have our theories too! We wonder what precipitates the change from a ‘normal’ peace-loving human being to a terrorist. If a terrorist visits a homeopath for treatment, the case history may reveal a lot of reasons behind his turning into a terrorist.

How do I cope with my loss?

1

Some of the commonest causes of emotional upheavals are loss of an object of desire and loss of someone you love- either to another person or to death. Death is inevitable and you cannot change that part of your destiny. Other losses could be prevented but we are not always very successful.
We have many clients who come to us with the stress that comes from such a loss.

It's that time of the year ……. again :(

5

Yes, allergy season has arrived. However some unlucky ones may suffer through out the year.
What causes these allergies in us? An allergy is a hypersensitive immune response to some foreign protein. These proteins could be things that we have touched, inhaled or even eaten. These allergens- pollen, cat hair, house dust, rag weed, eggs, milk, strawberries, etc. are by themselves harmless substances.

Conceiving with Homeopathy

3

Last week was celebration time at four different places. Three of my patients reported to me on three consecutive days of the week (a hat trick for me!) that they had conceived after consulting me and starting homeopathy. One patient had been given up by the gynecologists in the US as her Anti-Mullerian Hormone level was very low.
