Let's just say...their plans to keep it suppressed have worked pretty well...until now.

Homeopathic remedies are safe and very effective for everyone. Homeopathic medicine is not only helpful in supporting the body through physical symptoms such as coughs, fevers, infections, congestion, sore throat, ear pain, allergies, rashes, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, dizziness, breathlessness, muscle pain, and more, it is also helpful in supporting the body through mental and emotional symptoms such as anxiety, irritability, fears, phobias, worries, inablity to focus, destructive behaviors, addictions, etc. Homeopathy can support the body through both acute and chronic conditions. You can rest assured that there are no side effects to using Homeopathic remedies nor do they interfere with conventional treatment protocols.
"A Homeopathic remedy will never provoke an organic lesion in a patient. A high potency may produce symptoms but never lesions. [However,] A pure substance or drug may induce organic lesions." ~Francisco Eizayaga
"When a person becomes sick, he becomes liable to a certain remedy, which will affect him in its highest potency; while upon a healthy person it will have no effect." ~James Tyler Kent
Homeopathy has been used successfully worldwide since the late 1700s and is recognized as the second most therapeutic form of medicine in the world today.
The main principles of Homeopathy date back to 300 B.C. and Hippocrates, the Greek physician known as the 'Father of Medicine'.
It has been used for generations by the British Royal Family, used by many American presidents, and is used by over 200 million people, maybe more, across the world.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)

Our bodies 'talk' to us through symptoms. A symptom is a red flag or warning sign that tells us something is out of balance and needs support. For example, the typical symptoms of a cold are a runny nose, sneezing, and coughing. These symptoms are the body's created way of healing from a cold as it is trying to expel the cause of the imbalance.
A well chosen Homeopathic remedy supports the body, essentially nudging the body back to homeostasis, so the body can more effectively do what it was designed and created to do...Self Heal.
Conventional medications will suppress and numb symptoms which can feel good for the moment but can lead to future chronic imbalances.
Do we really want to suppress those symptoms? Or do we want to support our bodies?
Acute conditions generally have a rapid onset with severe symptoms that last for a short duration.
Chronic conditions exhibit symptoms that have a slow onset and long duration.
Yes. Whether acute viral symptoms, such as cough, congestion, fever, chills, headaches, or body aches, or chronic symptoms lingering long after the virus is over, such as lingering coughs or headaches, Homeopathic remedies can support the body so it can more effectively do what it was created and designed to do...Self Heal.
Homeopathic medicines are prepared from very small doses of natural substances. There are a few different methods of preparation, but essentially, a drop of mother tincture is mixed with a certain number of drops of water then succussed (shaken) a certain number of times. This dilution and succussion process is how the different potencies of remedies are made. With current technology, Homeopathic remedies may also be made using a radionics machine.
We are all unique and Homeopathy is an individualized and personalized medicine, so each individual will have their own unique path in their health journey.
With that being said, Homeopathy is a gentle and efficacious medicine with the potential to support the body quickly when needed. For example, with acute symptoms, a well-chosen Homeopathic remedy can support the body within seconds or minutes. However, with chronic symptoms, the body's healing abilities are further off track and may need well-chosen Homeopathic remedies to support it for many months.
Another rule of thumb is it depends on how long the person has had the symptoms.
Also remember that the path of health takes time. We want it to be linear, but more often than not, it has it's ups and downs. 3 steps forward, 2 steps back. Good days and not so great days. But always look for that net gain...given time, there should be a constant improvement.
Dr. C. Hering observed 5 directions of cure...
from above, downwards; within, outwards; center to periphery; from more important to less important organs; and in the chronologically reverse order of disease development.
This natural law is known as Hering's Law
"Work by the remedy must be done from within out, in order to heal the patient." ~James Tyler Kent
"When old symptoms return there is hope, that is the road to cure and there is none other." ~James Tyler Kent
"The healthier the patient becomes the more likelihood there is for a skin eruption to appear. A cure progresses from within outwards." ~James Tyler Kent
This doesn't always happen, but if/when it does, it's actually a great sign that the remedy was the correct remedy and it's working deeply supporting your body. Great things happen in our body when we sleep....we're designed to repair and heal. So if you find that you feel a little sleepy after taking a remedy, try your best to listen to your body and go take a nap. Your body will thank you!
Our bodies were designed and created to be able to self heal. When we get sick, our bodies get stressed and get off track. Our body will then send out signals (symptoms) that the train has wobbled off track. Homeopathy 'answers' the body's symptoms with a gentle nudge to get back on track; therefore, allowing the body to be able to once again self heal. Whereas, conventional medications (cough suppressants, pain suppressants, fever suppressants) suppress and numb the body's symptoms, effectively preventing the body from expressing the imbalances, and essentially pushes them deeper into the body. Eventually, those suppressed symptoms will come back out as chronic symptoms, e.g., skin rash symptoms suppressed with steroids will likely come back out as lung issue symptoms.
The definition of 'suppress' is...keep hidden; to prevent something from being expressed or known.
"It is just as dangerous to suppress symptoms by drugs as it is to remove them with the knife." ~James Tyler Kent
It works on the Law of Similars. The scientific principle of 'like cures like'.
For example, drinking too much coffee can cause insomnia; whereas, taking the Homeopathic remedy Coffea can be used to treat insomnia.
Homeopathic remedies are energetic information supporting and stimulating the body’s created and designed ability to self heal, but you must also equip and support the body at a cellular level with proper nutrition, herbs, minerals, possible supplements, proper sleep, grounding, sufficient sun exposure, and exercise.
"How it is that bread and meat nourish the human body we cannot say. How the homeopathic remedy cures the disease will never be known, but the direction in which life flows into the body and the direction of cure can be known." ~James Tyler Kent
Yes. Homeopathy has no known contraindications and can be used with any other modality. However, since Homeopathic remedies are very effective in supporting the body, it is important to keep communication open with your doctor so he/she can adjust your medications as needed.
It's super simple!
Homeopathic remedies usually come in pellets or liquid form. With pellets, you simply dissolve the pellet(s) under your tongue...or put the pellet(s) in a small amount of water and take sips. With a liquid, you simply put the drops in water and drink it. It's advised to avoid food and drink for 15 minutes prior to and after taking a remedy.
Synthetic, petroleum-based medications, such as prescription medications and over the counter medications. Allopathic medications effectively numb or cover up the body's symptoms by suppressing them.
allo- means 'other, different'
-pathy means 'feeling, suffering, emotion, disorder, disease'
From affixes.org:
allopathy 'the treatment of disease by conventional means, that is, with drugs having effects opposite to the symptoms'
origin: allos, other
"The mainstream conventional medical system follows disease treatment rather than health creation." ~ Dr. Isaac Golden
No. There is nothing in Homeopathic medicines that is capable of showing up on drug tests.

"Homœopathic prophylaxis never causes anaphylaxis or shock, never results in secondary infection, never leaves in its wake serum or vaccine disease or any other severe reaction; it simply protects surely and gently." ~Dr. A. H. Grimmer
What is labeled as an 'aggravation' is not common but is when a symptom gets worse before it gets better. Although it can be temporarily annoying, and possibly uncomfortable, it is not a bad thing. It's actually a very good sign that the body is working on finding balance and stimulating it's self healing abilities.
With some methodologies (typically 1 dose is used, then wait to see what happens), people tend to experience aggravations maybe a bit more often due to the body releasing a large amount of toxins very quickly. However, with the methodologies we choose to use, there is typically a much lower chance of experiencing an aggravation.
With some methodologies (typically 1 dose is used, then wait to see what happens), they're taught to avoid mint, coffee, and strong odors, like garlic, at all cost because it could possibly antidote or cancel that one dose that was used before it can effectively support the body. However, with the methodologies we choose to use, we have not had any problems with clients using mint, coffee, or odors of any sort.
Some believe low potencies reach the physical layer and high potencies reach the emotional layer. Some believe using higher potencies goes deeper into the cause while some believe low potencies are sufficient.
'High' potency is relative as some are taught 15x is a high potency where others are taught 200c and 1M are high potencies and yet others are taught 10M, 50M, and CM are high potencies.
We believe different potencies are like different rates of vibration and therefore different levels of stimulation.
Clinically used since 1911, stacked potencies are multiple potencies of a remedy used at the same time resulting in a much lower chance of experiencing an aggravation. Using stacked potencies ensures the body will receive the stimulation it needs to boost the body's own abilities to self heal.
We believe our bodies are beautifully and intelligently designed and know best what potency to use and when to use it. We have seen great results with using stacked potencies.
Some are taught remedies may cancel or antidote other remedies. Some are taught using too many remedies can cause aggravations. Some are taught using too many remedies will confuse and overwhelm the body.
With Homeopathy, one well-chosen remedy has the ability to work beautifully. When you know the one remedy that will work in a situation, then most certainly use that one remedy. Sometimes, though, it's challenging to figure out that one right remedy. Most every person is living in a state of chronic health issues. Also, with the amount of toxins, generational trauma, stimulants, fast-paced lifestyles, poor sleep habits, artificial blue light, lack of natural sunlight, electronics, 5G/WiFi, etc., our bodies need all the support we can give them. We believe using multiple well-chosen remedies will lessen the chance of an aggravation. We believe the body is intelligent and knows what remedy or remedies to use and disregard what it doesn't need.
"Others may suggest caution when it comes to remedies, as they can potentially cause provings, aggravations, and even antidote each other. However, I disagree with this and I say that it is neither true nor possible. The theory we are currently teaching is incorrect, not because it is inherently wrong, but because the interpretation of that theory is incorrect with the advanced clinical practice and quantum mechanics." ~Cristina Villacorta
