Did you know that Abraham Lincoln was a huge supporter of homeopathy? With the movie Lincoln now playing in most countries, we thought we would re-run this article from Dana Ullman and the Huffington Post. Find out how:
▪ Abraham Lincoln was a regular user of homeopathic medicines and surrounded himself with cabinet members who were also advocates of homeopathy,
▪ One of his cabinet members was stabbed during a late night delivery of homeopathic remedies,
▪ The military leader of the Union Army who was suffering from typhoid fever was successfully treated by homeopathy and so able to remain in command during the course of treatment,
▪ The American Medical Association (AMA) was threatened by the popularity of homeopathy, something that was captured in the words of one AMA doctor who said, "Too many wives of conventional physicians are going to homeopathic physicians. And to make it worse, they are taking their children to homeopaths too." It was founded in part to stop its growth and introduced a code of ethics that prevented members from consulting with homeopathic doctors or homeopathic patients. (One AMA member was even kicked out of his local medical society for consulting with a homeopath who also happened to be his wife!)
▪ The AMA prevented homeopathic doctors from serving in the Civil and Spanish-American war with the result that more soldiers died from typhoid fever than bullets. At the time homeopathy was already successfully treating typhoid fever throughout the United States and Europe. (Interestingly, this antagonism was not as severe during World War I with almost 2,000 homeopathic physicians being commissioned as medical officers and the American Red Cross authorising a homeopathic hospital unit.)
There’s lots more intriguing info in Dana's part 1 article at:

Dr Yurukova provides an overview of the symptoms, risk factors, and homeopathic treatment of stuttering, and some tips on how to help the stuttering child.
Common stuttering remedies are also listed. For example, does your child:
- have rapid and interrupted speech; insecure and anxious child? Then they may need Belladonna.
- stutters when anxious, or their stuttering is accompanied by bedwetting or tics? Then they may need Causticum.
- becomes agitated after being asked a question; stutters due to hesitancy and is a hyperactive child? Then Mercurius may be the needed remedy.

What homeopathic remedies are being used for the current influenza epidemic? Homeopath Paul Herscu gives a rundown of the viral and flu-like symptoms presenting at homeopathic clinics in the northern hemisphere. He and other homeopaths have identified five major symptom groups. They are:
▪ Group 1. Weakness, shakiness, headache, chills and minor respiratory symptoms.
▪ Group 2. Gastrointestinal symptoms.
▪ Group 3. Bronchial coughs.
▪ Group 4. Heat, sweats, body aches, as well as minor respiratory symptoms and fatigue.
▪ Group 5. Severe, intense weakness and lethargy, a disinclination or inability to stand for a long time, and an inability to clearly give a cogent symptom story.
If you would like to read more about the symptoms in each of these groups and their corresponding remedies, visit Paul's epidemic updates. Southern Hemisphere homeopaths, soon to go into their own winter, will find the information equally interesting.

Conventional cold medications are no longer sold for young children because they were shown to be ineffective, yet were causing deaths and significant side-effects.
In this story from the Indy Channel, presenters look at other things parents can do to relieve the symptoms of colds in their children. Apart from the story looking like an excuse for product placement advertisements, the suggestions it makes are useful.
In relation to homeopathy, one mother says, "With artificial chemicals, we don't know what the long-term effects of artificial chemicals are. I get results with the homeopathics, and that's what I love. His sneeze gets better. His cough gets better, and really that's what every parent is looking for."
Unfortunately, this positive statement was followed by the presenter saying, "Pediatricians said they should be made aware of all homeopathic treatments a child takes because there can be dangerous interactions."
Come on, paediatricians - if this is what you truly believe, it’s time for a little more education about homeopathy. Homeopathic remedies do not interact with conventional medicines. While doctors should be advised of other treatments being taken, homeopathy, being an 'energy' medicine, can be safely combined with chemical drugs without risk of interaction.

Staphysagria – a remedy for violation, anger and suppression
The herb Delphinium Staphysagria, with mauve-blue flowers, grows to just over one metre tall and is native to Asia and the southern regions of Europe. It is also known as Larkspur or Lice-bane because of its herbal use in killing body lice.
The homeopathic remedy Staphysagria is prepared from the seeds of the plant, and suits those who are mild, submissive and suppress their emotions. Confrontation is difficult but when they do become angry they are likely to tremble, choke on swallowing, stammer, or throw things. Someone in a Staphysagria state feels worse after an afternoon nap, is prone to sexual fantasies, cystitis and styes. Staphysagria is one of the best remedies for incised wounds (wounds with straight, clean edges). It stimulates healing and relieves pain, even in old scars of incised wounds.
Learn more about Staphysagria in the Know Your Remedy section of our website.

Using two case histories of eczema and urticaria, Dr Andrea Wiessner provides an interesting insight into how a homeopathic physician selects the correct remedy and highlights how homeopathy treats the person and not the disease.
Dr Wiessner concludes with:
"Homeopathy allows doctors to work with their patients to find out what their suffering is about. For me this is both a pleasure and a privilege. And when it’s followed by significant improvement in the patient’s health, it is obviously even more rewarding. Let us hope that in future many more patients can enjoy the benefits of this elegant and gentle way of healing, and that more doctors and healthcare practitioners, as well as providers, come to appreciate its value."
We couldn't agree more.

Here is a golden oldie (well, almost) from Steve Scrutton who asks, "Can piglets tell lies?"
In amongst humorous lines such as, "So what happens when 500 piglets benefit from homeopathy? Are they telling porkies?" you will find a link to a study on homeopathy for piglet diarrhoea and a skeptical farmer who now embraces homeopathy on his farm.
