Guest guest Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 No it isn't normal. I am still nursing my three year old and our homeopath doesn't even bat an eye when he nurses during appointments, in fact, she gave us a warm smile. I would find another, more open minded homeopath who actually knows about the benefits of extended nursing! -- Sara Proud Mama to Colin 12/07/99 Jack 8/07/02 -------------- Original message -------------- I've been going from one homeopath to the next, since i'm looking for a classical one, one homeopath i've talked to told me to wean my baby already (he's one) since i might be causing his congestion (cough), another told me to wean because it stunts emotional growth to be dependent on mother. now i'm wondering, is this true about all homeopaths? ella -- Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire- Yeats http://ryankachupi.blogspot.com/ http://www.rjellybeanslings.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 Both of these statements constitute a load of rubbish, Ella. Neither is true. If you consume a lot of dairy produce, it is possible that he might be having a reaction to that - you could try reducing and see if his congestion improves, but breastfeeding itself is not going to cause congestion.

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 I doubt it..I'm sure there have to be some out there with more sense than that. I mean really-stunts emotional growth to be dependent on mother?

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 Ella, I'm with Sue and Sara on this one. It's total garbage. In the interviewing process make sure you ask this question up front. I quit nursing when my toddler was a year old and she was fine with it but I wasn't. I miss it now that she's almost two. There's nothing but good things that can come from nursing your baby, especially at only a year old!!

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 Thanks, but I'm getting so frustrated. There is no classical homeopath in our country that I know of...yet. The only one I heard about left the country already. Homeopathy is not yet widespread in our country. It's a good thing I haven't had the need to go to an allopath yet in the sense that all my ds has gotten are coughs and cold. He had a bad fever once but I really persisted in not going to the allopath knowing they'll just prescribe meds, glad I read mendelson so knew how to react to a fever.

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 My naturopath (is there a difference between naturopath and homeopath, and if so- what is the difference?) suggests breastfeeding as long as possible, with introducing food as late as possible as well. I would imagine if there was something in your milk that was harming your child, you would just do what is in the best interest for your child. Not sure if that is what your homeopath was meaning? --- maria ella galang-ampongan <ryankachupi@...> wrote: > I've been going from one homeopath to the next, since i'm looking > for > a classical one, one homeopath i've talked to told me to wean my > baby > already (he's one) since i might be causing his congestion (cough), > another told me to wean because it stunts emotional growth to be > dependent on mother. > > now i'm wondering, is this true about all homeopaths? > > ella > > -- > Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a > fire- Yeats > > http://ryankachupi.blogspot.com/ > http://www.rjellybeanslings.com > __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 , A naturopathic doctor is fully educated in homeopathy and may use it as part of a total treatment plan.They are typically well versed in and often incorporate clinical nutrition, Chinese medicine and acupucture, botanical medicine, spinal and soft tissue adjustments and lifestyle counceling. Like the homeopath, the naturopath interviews the patient to get to the root of the problem.

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 Not necessarily. A naturopath MAY have additional education in homeopathy. Here's something Sheri N. has posted about naturopaths in the past: " I'm not a big fan of ND's as they know a little about a lot of things and are able to help with I call maintaining causes but I don't see them being able to get at the root of issues like a homeopath can, unless the naturopath has gone onto specialize in homeopathy which is another 3 or 4 years after it all. I see naturopaths as still suppressing illness in many cases by just using natural substances. But they are good at getting to the root of nutritional stuff and other things. We need more excellent homeopaths which ONLY do homeopathy which is a whole system that heals. Just my 2 cents " Most naturopaths do NOT have the extensive training in homeopathy needed to treat chronic issues. There are short courses in homeopathy that is typically all the training most of them get. If using a naturopath for homeopathy, I would recommend you find out exactly what their training and background is in homeopathy alone. Trying to treat chronic issues without extensive knowledge and experience can lead to major problems.

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 Hi Kay, If I were to employ a naturopathic doctor, I would ask the important questions regarding homeopathy.Certainly some of their other practices can be suppressive. By the same token, If I were to employ a homeopath, I would ask them about their knowledge of nutrition and the immune system. Since homeopaths treat sysmptoms only, I feel many problems could be avoided with lifestyle advice in the area of prevention and nutritional counceling. If that homeopath were a chiropractor as well, this person would be my dream caregiver. No matter your specialty, being well rounded gives you the cutting edge. Prevention is cure. Just my opinion.

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 Hi Anita, That's good. Many aren't aware that just because someone claims to be using homeopathy, doesn't make them a homeopath. And a true classical homeopath does not treat only symptoms. They treat the entire person, that includes a person's lifestyle choices, nutritional habits, past medical history, family background, how you sleep and in what position, living arrangements, stressors in their life, personality type, habits, your appearance, how the weather affects you, fears, hobbies, interpersonal relationships, choice of music, you name it! LOL It is all encompassing. That's why the initial consultation usually takes at least 1 1/2 - 2 hours. My homeopath knows more about me than my own husband does! LOL That's the nature of the science. And knowledge of the immune system goes hand in glove with homeopathy. My homeopath's SON is a chiropractor... though not in the same state. And neither are in MY state. Darn. But I do have a good local chiropractor as well.

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 Kay, The reason I mentioned homeopaths treating symptoms only is because of a discussion about detoxification, which apparently does not jibe with homeopathy.

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 In rereading your post I had another thought. Isn't it fair to say that your homeopath is taking all your habbits, preferences and sensitivities into consideration ultimately to decide on the proper remedy to impove your state of health or lack thereof; resulting from symptoms.

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 Yes, of course I remember. Here is how Magda explained it to me how one cannot detoxifying from vaccines: " Diseases are not matters. They are energies! The viruses that are introduced in the body by vaccines, do not stay in the body! They are shed in the stool of both humans and animals! What is " left " is the ENERGY of the disease the vaccine is supposed to prevent. Titers are again, ENERGY! They are the result of EXPOSURE to a disease for which there is already immunity. We cannot detox an energetic force! And there is no way to detox those antibodies either! " The only way to treat the damage done by vaccines is to wait and see how that particular individual's life force will respond to the introduction of all the foreign and toxic material. Hence, how the energy from that vaccine reverberates in the person's lifeforce. Does that help?

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 Kay, I could agree with you if I didn't know or at least believe that the viruses are NOT entirely eliminated through the stool or otherwise. Because the T-cell response is suppressed by the nature of the vaccine, virus continues in the body often manifesting in the most horrible of ways namely CANCER as described in the History of Vaccines and What's Coming Through That Needle. I first doubted Magda when she said the immune system could not be seen and described it as another one of the energies she talks about. To me, this explanation is neither logical nor scientific. I respect your belief and I am sure Magda is a wonderful homeopath. It's just that this is the 21st century and the diseases of today are much more insidious than thet were 200 years ago and require a somewhat different train of thought. Having said that, I believe detoxification can be achieved. I am not speaking about vaccine detox via nosodes. There are other ways to detox the body. In fact, because I have given up nosodes, I am currently researching what detox will be next for Henry. Again Kay, this is only my opinion and welcome everyone elses. Is it just vaccine detox you don't think is possible or is it any given detox? Anita Anita KPhilpot <KPhilpot@...> wrote: Yes, of course I remember.

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 It's the ENERGY like Magda explained that continues to do the damage after the material substances are elimintated. Cancer among other diseases can be a result of vaccines, of course. But it's because the immune system has been disabled and is no longer acting as the protectant in the body that it was intended for. The body has not changed in the last 200 years. And the way it responds to dis-ease has not changed either. Energies are not a new concept or an old one that has been explained away. Can we see electricity or electromagnetic fields? No, we see the evidence of it. Can we see the wind? No, but we see the evidence of it. Can we see the body's soul or spirit? No, but when we see a dead person, we know that the part of them that made them a living, breathing human being is gone. The Vital Force is not some mysterious, new age, or Eastern mythical thought. It is simply a form of electromagnetic energy that is a natural phenomenon and nobody's invention. We know that exposure to electromagnetic fields from power lines affects our health. Extensive study by 2 American scientists, Harold Burr and Leonard Ravitz at Yale University in 1972 showed that all human beings possess a complex electro-magnetic energy field, and that it is this EMF which actually controls the biochemical processes of our bodys and gives order and structure to them. Biophysics is the study of this phenomena. So, I don't understand how you can say it's " neither logical nor scientific. " Homeopathic remedies are microdoses that consist only of electromagnetic energy patterns that act on the body's own energy fields. It's nothing mysterious or unscientific. There was research done by a German biophysicist (Fritz-Albert Popp) in the early 1980s which showed that the vital functions of living organisms were clearly susceptible to the administration of potentised remedies. What was actually measured was an energy emission, a manifestation of the electromagnetic energy field, which correlates closely with many vital functions. I personally don't see a need for detoxifying from anything when one can use homeopathy in a safe and gentle manner (in the hands of an experienced classical homeopath). A correctly taken case should indicate the correct remedy to 'unblock' the body's ability to cleanse and cure itself. That is enough. A healthy body is capable of detoxing itself. So the remedy would be the similimum, the remedy which would increase the overall health of the person. You're asking some great questions, Anita.

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 Kay, I think I spend too much time thinking about this stuff. I don't think I suggested that the body has changed, only that the viruses have. I do think the body's way of responding to it has too. This is evident to me in the outrageous amount of disesase responses, namely in children, that our we are faced with now that were completely unheard of 100 or more years ago. People are breaking down more and sooner than ever. I do believe in energies that make up the vital force, the soul and possibly more I am unaware of. The lack of logic and science pertained to the invisibility of the immune system and that we rid ourselves of all but the energy of vaccine viruses. I understand the basic principals EMF's and EM Chaos and in way question the scientific aspect of it. With science comes much mystery. That is why I am struggling with my quest for the truth. Thank you for continually offering me things to think about.

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 Hi Anita, I understand where you're coming from. I've only been studying homeopathy for about 5 years now. It was VERY foreign to me in the beginning (especially being a former registered nurse!) But the more I study it, the more it makes sense, and allopathy is what has me scratching my head now! LOL Yes, I agree, there are many more things to damage us in today's society than our ancestors had to contend with. However, we are a product of our ancestor's illnesses and diseases, too. It's cumulative and the damage gets more complex as the generations continue. I think you would be surprised at the number of disease responses there in fact were years ago. Reading a homeopathic materia medica which lists all the symptoms a homeopath uses to repertorize a case, you will see that there were no stones left unturned. And these are books based on the provings done by Hahnmann 200 years ago. They are very complex and detailed and fascinating to read. I challenge you to find a symptom that is NOT listed in the materia medica! I respect your quest for truth, and applaud you for being open minded and wanting to know the truth to begin with. So many are afraid to learn what the truth is. I guess knowing that we've been wrong for so many years is too much for many to handle. I am like you. I WANT to know if I'm on the right path or not. I KNOW I have made major mistakes in some of the decisions I've made in the past regarding my children's health care (namely allowing them to be vaccinated, given antibiotics, steriods, etc.), but I have learned from those mistakes. I have a friend with a vaccine damaged son. She will NOT allow herself to admit that it WAS the vaccines that led to his seizures and brain damage (although that occurred right after they were given). She said she thought she was being a good mother by having him vaccinated. The guilt is too much for her to bear by admitting the truth. So, she prefers to believe the lie that vaccines are safe and continues to have her other children vaccinated! I think her position is not too uncommon, I'm afraid. Kay Re: ot: homeopath suggestion to wean Kay, I think I spend too much time thinking about this stuff. I don't think I suggested that the body has changed, only that the viruses have.

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 Kay, Unfortunately, you are correct in saying her position of denial is not too uncommon. This CONVENIENT and COMFORTABLE belief system only perpetuates the damage. Merly Dorey talked about this being an inherent problem here in America and she's right. It is hard to be humble sometimes and refrain from judging others. Like the Bible says, " Forgive them for they know not what they do " . God knows I try. We are lucky to be brave enough to admit failure and deal with the UNCOMFORTABLE fallout and actually be liberated by it. We may not agree on everything, but I'm definately on your side sister.

It was VERY foreign to me in the beginning (especially being a former registered nurse!) But the more I study it, the more it makes sense, and allopathy is what has me scratching my head now! LOL Yes, I agree, there are many more things to damage us in today's society than our ancestors had to contend with. However, we are a product of our ancestor's illnesses and diseases, too. It's cumulative and the damage gets more complex as the generations continue. I think you would be surprised at the number of disease responses there in fact were years ago. Reading a homeopathic materia medica which lists all the symptoms a homeopath uses to repertorize a case, you will see that there were no stones left unturned. And these are books based on the provings done by Hahnmann 200 years ago. They are very complex and detailed and fascinating to read. I challenge you to find a symptom that is NOT listed in the materia medica! I respect your quest for truth, and applaud you for being open minded and wanting to know the truth to begin with. So many are afraid to learn what the truth is. I guess knowing that we've been wrong for so many years is too much for many to handle. I am like you. I WANT to know if I'm on the right path or not. I KNOW I have made major mistakes in some of the decisions I've made in the past regarding my children's health care (namely allowing them to be vaccinated, given antibiotics, steriods, etc.), but I have learned from those mistakes. I have a friend with a vaccine damaged son. She will NOT allow herself to admit that it WAS the vaccines that led to his seizures and brain damage (although that occurred right after they were given). She said she thought she was being a good mother by having him vaccinated. The guilt is too much for her to bear by admitting the truth. So, she prefers to believe the lie that vaccines are safe and continues to have her other children vaccinated! I think her position is not too uncommon, I'm afraid. Kay Re: ot: homeopath suggestion to wean Kay, I think I spend too much time thinking about this stuff. I don't think I suggested that the body has changed, only that the viruses have.

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 Yes, that's true. I for one have to remember that I, too, was once on the " other side of the fence " living quite comfortably " inside the box. " It's through people like Sheri Nakken and my homeopath, Magda Aguila, and others that I learned there was another, safer way. So, I try to carry it forward and help educate others. I'm so thankful for the people I've met over the last 5 years who have patiently answered my questions and calmed my fears as I stepped into the unknown. Yes, we're definitely on the same side.

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 Whoa. As far as I know, an Homoepath - classical would support your efforts to continue breastfeeding, NOT weaning. One year is too young if you are inclined to breastfeed. Keep it up and let yourself and your baby decide on the weaning. NO-ONE else. Your baby may be getting some of your sugars/dairy/wheat etc along with everything else, but ... find another HP. Also an Chiropractor. As for emtional growth stunt - I'd say anyone who's not been long-term breastfed is the one who's emotionally stunted. I could go on and on about the wonders of breastfeeding, but I won't. My next statement should say it all! : , Mum of Simone, breastfed til the age of 6 1/2. TRUE! ot: homeopath suggestion to wean I've been going from one homeopath to the next, since i'm looking for a classical one, one homeopath i've talked to told me to wean my baby already (he's one) since i might be causing his congestion (cough), another told me to wean because it stunts emotional growth to be dependent on mother. now i'm wondering, is this true about all homeopaths? ella -- Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire- Yeats http://ryankachupi.blogspot.com/ http://www.rjellybeanslings.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 !! Not here they don't. Or at least not in our local area. There's one we know of (a few rather, in the same store) who claim to be Naturopaths, yet have no idea about vaccine damage, acupuncture etc... and do not see a Chiropractor. Another who is employed by the local council works at the swimming pool and SUPPORTS VACCINATION!! ....again!

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 An Homoeopath and Chiro rolled into one. Now THAT would be perfect. There'd have to be a few of them though, just in case something happened to one of them, went on holiday or something.... Re: ot: homeopath suggestion to wean Hi Kay, If I were to employ a naturopathic doctor, I would ask the important questions regarding homeopathy.Certainly some of their other practices can be suppressive. By the same token, If I were to employ a homeopath, I would ask them about their knowledge of nutrition and the immune system. Since homeopaths treat sysmptoms only, I feel many problems could be avoided with lifestyle advice in the area of prevention and nutritional counceling. If that homeopath were a chiropractor as well, this person would be my dream caregiver. No matter your specialty, being well rounded gives you the cutting edge. Prevention is cure. Just my opinion. Anita KPhilpot <KPhilpot@...> wrote: Not necessarily. A naturopath MAY have additional education in homeopathy. Here's something Sheri N. has posted about naturopaths in the past: " I'm not a big fan of ND's as they know a little about a lot of things and are able to help with I call maintaining causes but I don't see them being able to get at the root of issues like a homeopath can, unless the naturopath has gone onto specialize in homeopathy which is another 3 or 4 years after it all. I see naturopaths as still suppressing illness in many cases by just using natural substances. But they are good at getting to the root of nutritional stuff and other things. We need more excellent homeopaths which ONLY do homeopathy which is a whole system that heals. Just my 2 cents " Most naturopaths do NOT have the extensive training in homeopathy needed to treat chronic issues. There are short courses in homeopathy that is typically all the training most of them get. If using a naturopath for homeopathy, I would recommend you find out exactly what their training and background is in homeopathy alone. Trying to treat chronic issues without extensive knowledge and experience can lead to major problems.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Like allopaths there will be homeopaths who try to convince you into doing things they see are the *right way*.It is their personal opinion based on whatever research they feel supports their view.If they can not help you homeopathically then find another.I would never wean a child because someone told me I should,and I would not feel comfortable with any future advice they give.
