Classic homeopathy is a healing methodology that is based on the wisdom of treating a specific individual and their specific symptoms (including body, mind, emotions, and environment), as opposed to the allopathic model which bases treatment on agreed upon disease symptoms and averages.

Homeopathy Flu Therapy Is Not Affected by Viral Mutations

Homeopathy does not depend on one drug or feature particular drugs for curing any type of flu. Homeopathy is a non allopathic healing method that was once the mainstream medicine of the 19th century. Because different remedies and combinations and strengths are prescribed according to exact symptomatic readings, homeopaths can successfully adapt treatments to handle viral mutations. Homeopathy was enjoyed by many until certain moneyed interests almost pushed it out of existence. Now there is somewhat of a resurgence of its use.

It is also important to note that homeopathy is primarily an energetic and vibrational medicine. Simplistically speaking, homeopathic remedies are created by diluting a physical substance into a distilled water and alcohol and creating a vibrational or energetic substance by shaking it rapidly with machinery. This is how a nosode is created. Therefore, even a toxic physical substance prepared in a nosode will not retain any toxicity that will be transferred into the body.

And the nosode is taken orally, thereby not bypassing the initial stage of the immune system. Inoculations do bypass this important first phase of the immune system by ignoring the mucous membranes in the mouth and throat and going directly into the bloodstream. Homeopathic remedies are applied by a counterintuitive method. A homeopathic doctor is skilled in matching the individual`s current symptom picture with exact remedies that produce those exact same symptoms. This is actual immunization. Keep in mind when an individual`s symptoms change, new homeopathic remedies are prescribed to replace the previous homeopathic recommendations. This process continues until there are no more symptoms.

However, when there is an epidemic or pandemic disease, a homeopathic doctor can use the `common` symptoms widely reported by the public as an individual body and prescribe homeopathic remedies accordingly.

Homeopathy and Mexican H1N1 Flu

Homeopathy had an amazingly high cure rate in the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic in the USA. Just recently, during the 2009 Mexican Flu outbreak, a small group of Mexico City homeopathic doctors have revealed that homeopathy is up to the task again. This is good news considering that many over the counter and prescribed pharmaceutical flu remedies not only hazard negative side effects, but they may also not really cure current flu strains.

According to doctors the symptoms of the 1918 flu and the so called `H1N1 swine flu` of 2009 are very similar. It`s interesting to note both pandemics started in the spring, in the month of April, and not in the official flu season which is autumn. Two additional symptoms, one of which is an emotional aspect that is part of homeopathy diagnosis, are noted by this study: "fear of death" and a "high fever" at the onset of the infection.

The basic purpose of the Mexican Homeopaths` study was to identify common symptoms of the 2009 swine flu in order to outline a specific homeopathic based prevention and treatment model that could be used by homeopathic doctors around the world.

Homeopathy preventive H1N1 medicine :

1. BAPTISIA TINCTOREA
2. INFLUENZINUM
3. ARSENICUM ALBUM
4. OSCILOCCINIUM
5. GELSEMIUM

Oscilococcinium 30' and `Influenzium 200' for swine flu prevention as well as to improve the immune system among the general public towards the flu. "The homeopathy medicine 'Gelsemium 30' has been proved effective clinically in the treatment of swine flu in France a decade back and has been reported in the British journal of Clinical Medicine.

"In homeopathy there are no specific medicines for a particular nosological picture (for which the most common symptoms are taken into account). But in epidemics, due to the common causative agent, susceptibility of the population in this particular moment, and the repetition of symptoms, a group of the most useful remedies can be deduced. The remedies determined in this way are called the Genius Epidemicus. They consist of a group of medicines with symptoms most similar to those presented by most patients suffering this flu."

"For homeopathic treatment is it necessary to take into account the degree of reaction of the patient and the symptoms with which the disease manifests itself. We considered this and the symptoms observed during the last epidemic (1918) to find the similar remedy."

Homepathic remedies listed by the Mexican Doctors which they successfully employed against the 2009 Mexican Flu are as follow :

Aconitum napellus, Actea racemosa, Allium cepa, Ammonium phosphoricum, Antimonium tartaricum, Arnica montana, Arsenicum album, Baptisia tinctoria, Belladonna atropa, Bryonia alba, Camphora, Carbo vegetabilis, Carbolic acid, Causticum, Chamomilla, China officinalis, Drosera rotundifolia, Eupatorium perfoliatum, Euphrasia, Ferrum phosphoricum, Gelsemium sempervirens, Glonoinum, Hepatica triloba, Hyosciamus niger, Influenzinum (corresponding to the epidemic), Ipecauanha, Lachesis trigonocephalus, Lycopodium clavatum, Dooooosh vivus, Natrum sulphuricum, Nux vomica, Opium, Phosphorus, Phytolacca decandra, Pulsatilla, Pyrogenium, Rhus toxicodendron, Sticta pulmonaria, Sepia officinalis, Sulphur.

Nosodes, Influenzinum (corresponding to the epidemic), Pyrogenium, Anthracinum.

Homeopathy and the 1918 Flu

WW I was the first time that USA military personnel were ordered to receive vaccinations. There was and is a strong suspicion that mandated vaccinations used on troops actually created the initial infections for this pandemic. It`s recorded that many died after being vaccinated, while most who did not receive vaccinations survived.

Those factors did not affect or alter what homeopaths managed to put together during this pandemic. Understanding symptoms which have been closely scrutinized and categorized are the determining factors for administering classic homeopathic remedies, including the follow up remedies for complete recovery as symptoms change.

Undisclosed to the public at large, despite the strange and unusually virulent flu strain resulting in the "White Plague", the cure rate of homeopathy during the 1918 so called Spanish Flu has been reported as 98%

Nature's Own

Hellooooooo Everyone and Happy Halloween!!!

I hope everyone is having as much fun as I am getting ready for Halloween! We have had multiple costume changes. My lovely daughter has changed her mind 3 times now. First it was a High School Musical cheerleader, then a vampire and now a ghost bride. I had decided to try for mother of the year award by getting the costume early but oh no Ella wasn't having it!

Besides getting ready for Halloween we have been very busy getting everything set up to store food and prepare the bins here on Sparrow Lake. We have a walk in fridge now filled with fruit and veggies for tomorrow's delivery. We also have found a new local organic bakery in Barrie called Nature's Own. They have a wide assortment of breads and we have decided to support our local businesses as much as possible. Nature's Owns' products will be on the website hopefully for next week. If you would like to try a sample send us an email and we can put it in your bin. The bread will be made to order so we need to have your order in by Mondays. We hope you love them as much as we do!

We also would love to have all bread, milk and dairy orders in by Monday morning so we can have them ordered and ready for your delivery. This saves us many trips to Toronto which in turn reduces our carbon footprint.

We also wanted to thank everyone for their understanding when produce has been replaced in their bin. This week we had a poor romaine and nectarine crops and they had to be replaced. G.E.O is at the mercy of the farmers so we do our best to try to replace them with an item that is similar. Certified organic crops are smaller so this may happen from time to time.

Stu and I are getting into a groove and now that I am overseeing everything (just joking) we are determined to have high quality service. So any questions or comments please do not hesitate to contact us! We love hearing from all of you!


Yours in organic living,

Creamy Potato-Leek Soup

Happy Fall everyone! I hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving! We enjoyed our organic turkey very much. It was a hit!
As the leaves start to fall and the air is crispier I start craving homemade soup. There is nothing better after a long day to have a bowl of soup. My mom used to make potato-leek soup when I was a kid and it could erase any bad day. It was if it had magical powers. This soup is great because it can be made days before and can be eaten at lunch with a sandwich or dinner as a starter. I hope you will enjoy this recipe as much as I am enjoying it!
