My Story -
I had the privilege of a wonderful education - Botany, Zoology, Geology and the Arts from Harvard University - and yes, Harvard was fantastic. In 1973 I packed up and moved to my husband's family farm in what was remote NJ. Woodlands, nature, very little traffic and Utopia from a Cosmopolitan Massachusetts. I became an herbalist and a herb farmer, we grew herbs and cut flowers commercially.
In the 1990's I got recruited for local politics. Late nights, political pressures, etc, and I got sick! Really sick! Lyme disease started out insidiously. Migraine headaches that wrapped around my head and settled over my right eye. I was half blind. Ok, I was under stress - big deal. I proceeded to get worse, neurological headaches, memory impairment, chronic fatigue, and tons and tons of medicine, amoxicillin for 3 years and IV antibiotics and I was NOT getting any better, I was dying slowly.
My youngest daughter had a sleep over, the girls were at the laughing, giggling, shrieking age. Just what that headache needed. I packed the girls in to the car, and off to the local small shopping mall. When we got there, the girls went one way, I stumbled blindly the other way, by a health food store that had a huge display of homeopathic 'poly-pharmacy remedies'. Did I believe in homeopathy? Hell NO!,
I had the best of modern medicine and it was not touching my head pain, why on earth would I believe in 'airy nothings'?
But, I was desperate, at this point I would have tried anything. There was a box of homeopathic medicine with the label: Stress and Tension Headaches, the cost was $6.00 - what else did I have to lose? I bought the box and told the sales person if I worked, I'd be back.
As I slowly meandered out of the store, I popped a pill from it's aluminum container, put it in my mouth and continued walking, I passed a few stores and miracle of miracles the headache started lifting up, up and away. Wow, no one was as stunned or as surprised as I was. I was headache free.
What is this homeopathic medicine?
My research into homeopathy next.
