Understanding homeopathic sensitivities

Having a supplemental sensitivity from a supplement or natural product is understandable because we might have a nano particle or an excipient in there and that's how we could explain the reaction.

It is more difficult to understand why or how you would have a sensitivity or homeopathic aggravation to a homeopathic remedy, especially since the remedy does not have any physiological substance to it. So why do some people also react even if taking homeopathic remedies which don’t have physiological doses or excipients etc?

So many reasons from wrong potency to wrong frequency, but we can definitely say it has affected the vital force. If you are having a homeopathic aggravation at each turn your vitality / vital force response is weak.

I would say you are burnt out or close to it and have an autonomic dysfunction where your autonomic nervous system is in a sympathetic state, it is a regulatory mismatch.

To resolve this, you need to change the potency or the frequency of dosing and maybe revert to a water dose which is gentler on the vital force.

This helps to reduce fight or flight response and you start to feel better.

If you HAVE NOT YET, and would like to visit one of my monthly membership lessons to experience what it is all about, please respond with "yes please" below and we will reach out to you.

“I can’t take anything anymore... even ‘natural’ stuff makes me worse.” 😔

I hear this all the time from patients — especially those who are well-read, health-conscious, and doing all the “right” things.

So why does your body seem to reject even the cleanest, most natural supplements? Why do magnesium, B vitamins, or even probiotics make you feel worse?

Here’s what most people — and even most practitioners — miss: it’s not about the supplement. It’s about your body’s terrain.

In homeopathy, we understand this kind of reactivity as a vital force in distress — one that is overwhelmed, overburdened, or chronically dysregulated. This might be due to:
• Deep-seated miasmatic influence (inherited and acquired energetic patterns)
• A long history of suppressive treatments — steroids, antibiotics, painkillers
• Emotional trauma that’s never been processed at the energetic level
• Gut and liver detoxification blocks leading to poor assimilation of nutrients, and definitely a leaky gut with autoimmune tendencies

When the vital force is out of balance, even the best supplements can feel like a threat. The system isn’t capable of integrating support — because it’s using all its energy just to survive.

So instead of “trying harder,” we need to respond smarter.

In homeopathy, we don’t push. We don’t suppress. We unblock.

Through careful remedy selection, we can restore your system’s ability to tolerate, process, and *welcome* nutrition again. The goal isn’t more supplements — it’s true receptivity.

💬 If this resonates with you — if you’ve felt like you’re “sensitive to everything” — know this: there’s a path forward. You don’t have to live in fear of your next dose.

I'd like to encourage those of you on this group, who have not yet, to join my membership if these recent posts have been speaking to you! I have begun this membership especially for my patients and members, who want to take control of their health...

My challenge to you: Sign up for a month and see what it is about and begin to understand the blocks to cure!

“Your brain fog might start in your gut.”

“You’re eating clean. Taking your supplements. But your body still feels inflamed, exhausted, and moody… what gives?”

Let me introduce you to a hidden driver of chronic illness that most doctors don’t talk about: LPS — lipopolysaccharides. These are toxic molecules found on the outer membrane of certain gut bacteria. When your gut is healthy, they stay put. But when your gut lining becomes compromised (hello, leaky gut), these toxins leak into your bloodstream — and that’s when the real trouble begins.

💥 Once in the bloodstream, LPS acts like a gr***de to your immune system, setting off inflammation that can affect:
🧠 Your brain – brain fog, low mood, memory lapses
⚡ Your energy – chronic fatigue, sluggishness
🌡️ Your immune system – autoimmune flares, allergies
🔥 Your metabolism – weight gain, insulin resistance
💃 Your hormones – PMS, low libido, thyroid issues

And here’s the catch: You won’t see LPS on a standard blood test.
But as a functional medicine and homeopathic practitioner, I use specific lab markers — like high CRP, LPS-binding protein, and zonulin — to detect these deeper imbalances.

The good news?
🌱 You can heal this. With the right protocols, your body can reverse the damage.

Here’s how I support patients with high LPS symptoms:
✅ Seal the gut – using nutrients like zinc carnosine, butyrate, glutamine, and colostrum
✅ Target the microbiome – clearing dysbiosis with botanicals or homeopathics
✅ Drain toxins gently – using homeopathic drainage remedies and detox pathways
✅ Regulate inflammation – by modulating NF-κB (the master switch of inflammation)
✅ Nourish the terrain – fermented foods, prebiotics, clean fats, and mitochondrial support

🎯 And perhaps most importantly — we treat the whole person, including trauma and emotional inflammation, which also weaken the gut lining and immune regulation.

💬 Have you struggled with chronic symptoms that no one can explain?
💬 Has a gut-healing protocol ever changed your life?

Greetings All,

This year I have begun a membership, because through my years of practice, I realised the great need for health education. I spend much of my consultations teaching my patients how to take control of their health, and this spurs them onto understand what to do or expect from treatments. They are able to stay with it because they know what to expect. I also impress upon them that natural therapeutics, if used correctly, has the ‘staying power’ to heal even in chronic disease.

This membership will allow you to learn how to approach treating yourself and your family with natural therapeutics in a way that you feel confident and successful in your health outcomes. I look forward to sharing 27 years of clinical nuggets and protocols that you will be able to make your own and take your health to new levels in a dynamic way. I have dedicated my life to learning about the amazing human body and sharing this info will be part of my life’s purpose being fulfilled.

See the comments section for more info!

“Healing your gut is healing your whole body.”
You think your bloating, breakouts, or brain fog are “just part of life”? Think again. Your gut may be leaking — literally.

Leaky gut syndrome isn’t just a gut problem. It’s a whole-body inflammation cascade. When the gut lining becomes permeable, toxins, microbes, and undigested food particles escape into the bloodstream. That triggers an immune response — not just in the gut, but in your joints, skin, brain, and beyond.

In this lesson I broke it down:
- It starts with gut irritants — gluten, stress, processed food, pesticides, antibiotics.
- Then the tight junctions in your intestinal lining loosen.
- Next thing you know, your immune system is on red alert 24/7. Cue: eczema, thyroid issues, arthritis, anxiety, even food sensitivities.

So what’s the solution?
Not another elimination diet you can’t sustain.
Instead, we use a functional medicine roadmap to truly heal:
- REMOVE gut triggers (yes, even the sneaky “health” foods that may not suit your gut)
- REPAIR the lining using nutrients like glutamine, zinc, and slippery elm
- REINOCULATE the microbiome with targeted probiotics and fermented foods
- REBALANCE stress, sleep, and circadian rhythm to support healing

You don’t just need to “live with it.” You can heal it.

Let’s engage:
- Have you been chasing symptoms without getting to the root cause?
- What’s one “healthy” food that surprised you when it made things worse?
- Have you ever tried a gut repair protocol?

Let’s chat about your symptoms — gut health might be the key.
