Dr. Samuel Hahnemann’s Important Insights on Taking the Patient’s Case...
“In order accurately to perceive what is to be observed in patients, we should direct all of our thoughts upon the matter we have in hand, come out of ourselves, as it were, and fasten ourselves, so to speak, with all our powers of concentration upon it, in order that nothing that is actually present, that has to do with the subject, and that can be ascertained by all the senses, may escape us.
Poetic fancy, fantastic wit, and speculation must, for the time, be suspended, and all over-strained reasoning, forced interpretation, and tendency to explain away things must be suppressed. The duty of the observer is only to take notice of the phenomenon and their course; his attention should be on the watch, not only that nothing actually present escapes his observation, but also what he observes be understood exactly as it is.
I must warn the reader that indolence, love of ease, and obstinacy preclude effective service at the altar of truth, and only freedom from prejudice and untiring zeal qualify for the most sacred of all human occupations, the practice of the true system of medicine.”

Would any of you be interested in a FREE webinar on how to recognize and address potential va$$*ine injuries with homeopathy? Regular childhood and adult vaccines, not Covid, that's another story.

Sharing from my colleague Christina Villacorta: "If you look at my posts, you will see remedies that pop up repeatedly in different places for different problems. You will find these remedies in the blogs for teething, surgery, dentistry, and colic.
There are many ways to understand a remedy.
The first is the basic learning of the use of a remedy in certain conditions, and if you are a bit more advanced, you can examine the remedy's signature by understanding affinities, remedy relationships, and keynotes.
Another way to understand why Chamomilla is one of the best pain remedies is that it has an affinity for the mind, nerves, and liver, making it a very irritable remedy. This is why he is "so irritable with the pain that he can not bear it."
Who has not had pain like that?
Remember, Chamomilla is often repeated as needed."

Always good to remember not to limit remedies to just conditions that they are commonly used for. I recently had shingles with near unbearable pain but did not think of Chamomilla, I wonder now if it would have helped :)

Case update and reflection: ’ve been working with a 10-year-old girl on the autism spectrum for about a year and a half. We’ve had steady progress in several areas, but one major challenge remains — her intense self-injurious behaviors. During tantrums, she oten hits her stomach and sides with her fists, or kicks herself from one leg to the other, often leaving large bruises — sometimes over very small frustrations, like being denied an ice cream. She has strong OCD symptoms.
She also swings rapidly from laughter to tears, and these emotional shifts have intensified lately — likely tied to early hormonal changes. We’ve tried many usual supports that typically help with aggression and regulation, including vaccine clears and other remedies, but nothing fully addressed it.
Another unusual feature has been phases of excessive burping and gas — not something I often see in similar cases.
After thoroughly reviewing her case, Moschus came strongly to the forefront — a remedy known for hysterical behavior (laughing alternating with weeping, like Stramonium or Belladonna) and notably for gas and burping symptoms too.
Lesson learned: even after years in practice, it’s important to revisit the case from a constitutional perspective. The body always gives clues — we just have to notice the right ones. I’ll share how Moschus works for her in time.
Anyone else have similar experiences?

Good news of the day: 37-year-old man on the autism spectrum, under care for two months, has made some nice progress: Parents report that he is:
• more mellow and relaxed and less scattered
• not on social media so much
• more present and starting to become engaged a bit
• more reasonable
• less oppositional at times
• less flighty - more settled
• starting to help the support workers with cleaning a bit
• better overall. It is coming along.
He is taking a fantastic Canadian created supplement, TrueHope Empower Plus, Lithium orotate and Medorrhinum 30C. I think most of work right now is being done by the supplements.
I have had many excellent results in kids and adults with both TrueHope and Lithium orotate - if in doubt start them on this, esp if is aggression, mood swings and more erratic behaviour. I also take EMP but for my joints and to reduce grey hair! It's just an all-around terrific product with a very interesting history. Link to their website in the comment section.

Update on one of my little autism kiddos: 4-year-old girl on the spectrum is responding positively to a Pfizer vac$$*ine clearing with some improved eye contact and vocalizations, including de de, ze ze, da and g. This is positive as she has been essentially non-verbal. Non-verbal kids on the spectrum who develop language often start with simple sounds, just like babies. She has made good progress in many other areas, including much better sleep, eating and digestion as well as reduced irritability and more engagement with caregivers. All this after only four months :)

Sharing a terrific article from independent journalist Jeremy Hammond on the history of medical licensing laws in the US, how they reshaped medical education and research and why the results have been higher costs, reduced choice, worse health outcomes, gagged physicians and more. I totally related to this as the
BC College of Naturopathic Physicians investigate me and two colleagues back in 2018 because we were practicing CEASE therapy.
The investigation followed a complaint from a homeopathic
Skeptic in the UK. The end result was that the College basically
forbade the NDs in BC to discuss vaccine injuries esp as it
relates to autism but during Covid they were not allowed
to speak up either. In any case, I ended up handing in my
Naturopathic license after 22 years of no complaints or any
problems and just continued as a homeopath. Homeopathy
Is not licensed in BC and most other jurisdictions so I continued my work but this time unimpeded by licensing laws. Imagine,
even the naturopathic college, which should be supportive, caved to the medical establishment. I never looked back. On that note, Jeremy is an excellent independent journalist and I encourage
you to read his work and join his subscriptions.

We’re supposed to believe the purpose of medical licensing is to protect patients.

But what if the real purpose is to protect the financial interest of a medical cartel?

In my new special report, I trace how—and why—licensing laws were pushed into place, how they reshaped medical education and research, and why the result has been:

• Higher costs
• Reduced choice
• Impeded innovation
• Worse health outcomes

It’s time to rethink the entire system.

Over the past few years, I have seen several children who were likely affected by their parents' cannabis use before conception or during pregnancy. Cannabis use can leave energetic or epigenetic imprints which can be passed along to the children and cause various issues. It may be indicated if a child has a combination of developmental concerns as well as chronic sinus, bladder, or reproductive issues. Cannabis children can be spacey, highly imaginative and intuitive. They can also suffer from intense fears or have serious nightmares which are similar to Stramonium. Homeopathic Cannabis may also help some to reduce their use of Cannabis. Has anyone here had any success with homeopathic Cannabis?

Good news of the day: 10-year-old girl on the spectrum who used to engage in significant self-harm, including punching and hitting the side of her face during meltdowns 2-3 times a week has only self-harmed once over the past month! The parents are very relieved. She has also improved in a lot of other areas, including being more loving, engaged and interacting with others as well as being able to sit and do crafts for 30-40 minutes now. And remarkably, she is now eating almost everything and with gusto, before she only ate three things, turkey lunch meat and turkey hot dogs, vegan grilled cheese sandwiches and one type of cereal! All this so far just with a constitutional remedy, in her case, Sulphur 6C twice a week. Please note that Sulphur is not a remedy for autism per se, it is supporting her vital force and creating a stimulus for self-healing :)

Sepia - a common remedy for burn out in moms. Sharing from the Irish Society of Homeopaths

Sepia: The Remedy of Overwhelm, Exhaustion & Emotional Withdrawal
Sepia is often described as the remedy for people who feel drained from giving too much for too long. It carries the picture of someone who has poured their energy into caring, supporting, and holding everything together — until their own well runs dry.

The Emotional Tone
Sepia resonates with states of:
- Feeling overwhelmed by responsibilities
- Becoming irritable, snappy, or easily annoyed
- Wanting space, solitude, or emotional distance
- Feeling “flat,” indifferent, or disconnected from loved ones
- A sense of burden, as though everything is “too much”
It’s not that the person doesn’t care — it’s that they’ve been caring non‑stop, and their system is signalling depletion.

The Physical Expression
People in a Sepia state often describe:
- Low energy or heaviness
- A sense of being “dragged down”
- Tension in the pelvic or abdominal area
- A desire to move — dancing, running, or vigorous exercise can temporarily lift the mood
- Feeling better for warmth, rest, or being left alone

The Inner Experience
Sepia’s inner world often includes:
- Feeling emotionally overloaded
- A need to withdraw to protect one’s inner space
- Irritation at demands, even from people they love
- A sense of losing themselves in roles and responsibilities

Who might relate to the Sepia picture?
People who:
- Carry the emotional load of a household
- Feel responsible for everyone
- Have been “strong” for too long
- Experience burnout from caregiving, parenting, or constant giving
Sepia speaks to the person who says:
“I’m exhausted. I need a break. I need myself back.”

A gentle reminder
This is a general remedy profile, not a diagnosis or treatment plan. Homeopathy looks at the whole person, and remedy selection is individualised.

Stem cell treatments and possible spike protein contamination: One my kiddos, a young girl, showed high spike vaccine antibodies and both mom and stepdad showed very high spike protein levels although none of them took any of the shots. However, both mom and stepdad underwent stem cell treatments which is how they may have gotten spike protein. Just something to keep in mind in case any of you are considering stem cell treatments, which can, of course, be quite helpful. Maybe you can get them tested for spike protein before taking them. They will try a remedy made from homeopathic spike protein and a detox supplement to see if their antibodies will come down.
