What is Sensation Method in Homeopathy?

Homeopathy requires a complex analysis process for the homeopath to find the “Simillimum” or best remedy for the patient. One of the first breakthroughs to support homeopaths was the Repertory. Boeninghausen came up with the theory of the three legged stool. In modern times Paul Herscu had the idea of cycles, Jan Scholten gave us a map of the periodic table for mineral remedies, Jeremy Sherr taught the “verb.”

The Bombay Group led by Dr. Rajan Sankaran came up with the idea of sensations, levels, kingdoms and a new interpretation of miasms. I was very fortunate to be at the Live Clinic Workshop in Bombay in 2003 when Dr. Sankaran took some cases where the patient used words that described a specific remedy during the casetaking. Many of these cases did not work based on these prescriptions but some had dramatic results. This was an exciting time and many homeopaths went back to their clinics to try to implement these new methodology. There was a lot of experimenting and many failures and some extraordinary successes. This method was called the “New Method.”

When we gathered again in Bombay for the next Live Clinic in 2004, I and a number of other homeopaths wanted to name this method something other than the New Method. I proposed the Sensation Method and at the time Dr. Sankaran was reluctant to name this work. He was more interested to use new terms such as the “Global Phenomena.”

In 2005 I started to teach, write and advertise how I was taking cases to “Source” where the patient could speak the language of the remedy they need on a consistent, step-by-step and reproducible way. I called this the “Sensation Method.” My students understood more and more how to implement the Sensation Method in their practice based on my teachings and spread the word.

By 2006 the New Method was becoming the Old Method and many homeopaths were using the Bombay Group’s ideas and started to call this the Sensation Method. It is now the general term for a methodology that combines the ideas of sensations, levels, kingdoms and miasms. There are currently many diverse points of views of how to apply these ideas in practice.

Homeopathy for flu, swine flu and pandemic

Swine flu, influenza, and pandemic…frequent topics discussed on TV, radio, the Internet and in newspapers that are causing grave concern about our risk of becoming ill. If you are looking for a safe and effective healing tool that can shorten the severity and duration of the flu, one with a proven track record in treating past flu pandemics that can also strengthen your immunity to keep you well, think homeopathy!

The January 2010 edition of Homeopathy Radio – Homeopathy: The safe solution for Swine Flu, Influenza and past Pandemics, features host Jenny Hwozdek with guest homeopaths Dr. Nancy Gahles, CCH, DC and president of the National Center for Homeopathy, and Mary Aspinwall, world-renowned homeopath, educator and author.

Homeopathy played a key role during the most deadly flu pandemic of the past century, the Spanish Flu of 1918-21, and Dr. Gahles compares and contrasts treatment methods and outcomes for patients using mainstream medicines with those treated using homeopathic remedies.

Mary provides listeners with a list of common flu remedies you will want to have on hand now, along with a detailed “remedy picture” of each to help you determine which will be most beneficial should you or a family member become ill. From the Mexico City report, she also shares information on remedies used successfully for the Swine flu outbreak this past spring.

Then you’ll hear the story of Rosemary, mother of two young children, who successfully overcame the flu this winter, using homeopathy.

Don’t wait until the flu is in your home! Be prepared and listen to the show now. You can download it anytime at www.HomeopathyRadio.com

Homeopathy & Diabetes Treatment

Treatment for Diabetics & Using Homeopathy

The issue is what type of diabetes for understanding the prognosis. Homeopathy can be very helpful to support the person in their healing of diabetes but lifestyle changes also must happen.

Dr. Tim Stryker and Jenny Hwozdek, CCH, RsHom(NA) wrote the following information on diabetes and homeopathy which explains the situation very well:

“Type I Diabetes is an auto immune disease where the body has created antibodies that destroy the insulin producing cells in the pancreas while not causing harm to the cells in the pancreas that produce digestive enzymes, etc. Type I diabetes is not genetic. Chances are these children had some sort of infection preceding the diagnosis of Type I diabetes that resulted in the creation of antibodies that attacked the pancreas. So, Type I Diabetes is more about an Immune System that short-circuited and attacked itself.

The cause of Type I diabetes is not related to Diabetes in the family or to diet. In this scenario, there is a deeper susceptibility that results in the body turning on itself. By the time a child is symptomatic with Type I diabetes, virtually all the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas have been destroyed and that it is very difficult to heal something that is “missing.” It would be much easier to reverse damage when cells are still in the inflammatory process, but unfortunately, this stage of the insulin cell destruction is virtually symptomless—the body makes due with reduced cells and only shows crisis when the cells are mostly gone.

Type II Diabetes is directly related to hereditary factors and diet. Someone can inherit a weak pancreas (probably weakened by bad diet in the parents over a lifetime) and is then exacerbated by the person having A LOT of BODY FAT. The body fat is what causes the pancreas to overwork and requires the body to produce extra amounts of insulin which ultimately wears that pancreas out. Historically, Type II Diabetes set in later in life and it took 50 to 60+ years to wear the pancreas out. Today, with the epidemic of Obesity in children (especially large amounts of belly fat—belly fat cells really over stimulates insulin production) combined with a highly processed, simple carbohydrate/sugar laden diet—kids are doing in less than 20 years what it used to take 50 to 60+ years to accomplish.

With this in mind, it is then the loss of Body Fat that will do the most to control insulin levels and help control Type II diabetes over time. Diabetic kids need not only improve their diet, but they must loose weight in order to put less stress on the weakened pancreas and then there is a possibility of healing this overtaxed organ.

Homeopathy can help in terms of diabetes by increasing overall health, addressing the underlying inherited weakness and shifting the mental/emotional states that might be contributing to obesity, but these lifestyle factors must be addressed as well to heal Type II diabetes.”

Top Ten Things You Need to Be a Successful Homeopath

Many people are frustrated after they go to a homeopathy school because they didn’t
get what they needed to be a homeopath and make a living…I compiled a list to get you
thinking!

And there is also free lecture which focuses on becoming a homeopath and
being a better homeopath:

http://www.innerhealth.us/forms/AP_Free_Tele.html

Top Ten Things You Need to Be a Successful Homeopath

1. Do you have clinical experience? (You cannot do homeopathy successfully if you
have not been in a clinic setting–you must see successful cases)

2. Do you know how to manage your cases after the first prescription?

3. Do you have a business background–either in a service field, small business
experience or you are a connector type–you constantly meet people and connect them to
resources?

4. Do you audit your practice so you know where your strengths and weaknesses are?
In my opinion you need to have at least 80% success to make a living–for example you
have a small practice of 200 clients this would mean you have 40 people who are not
doing well and you need to change their remedy or potency, recase them or refer them
out. That’s a lot of people who are unsatisfied with homeopathy but manageable…the higher your
success the more referrals and less problems you experience…

5. Do you have support with your difficult cases–a mentor, a community, etc.?

6. Do you have an inner practice–meditation, personal retreats, journaling, etc.?

7. Do you know your laws in your state for practicing homeopathy?

8. Do you have your CCH from the Council of Homeopathic Certification?

9. Do you know how to explain homeopathy in 1 minute or less from the point of
view of the client?

10. Do you give back to the homeopathy community–member of National Center of
Homeopathy, Homeopathy World Community, give lectures educating the public about
homeopathy, do social networking supporting homeopathy, something?

Finally the New York Times Mentions Homeopathy

Thank you New York Times for telling people about the benefits of the homeopathic remedy Arnica and homeopathy!

Read the article here: http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/09/17/the-alternative-medicine-cabinet-arnica/

Mothers, who shop at Whole Foods or pay attention to feeding their kids healthy foods, know about the homeopathic remedy Arnica. I used to carry Arnica in my purse when Alex was little in case of a major injury. It is one of those easy to prescribe homeopathic remedies that works everytime. You or someone close to you injures themselves by a blow– where you would expect swelling and bruising–then give 2-3 pellets of Arnica.

It is easy and amazing how quickly you’ll see the results. I remember twice in my life I crushed my fingers very badly–once in a garage door and another time in garden shears. The pain and swelling disappeared immediately after taking Arnica.

I highly recommend parents, day cares, elementary schools, or any other place where it is common to have injuries to have the homeopathic remedy Arnica 30 c available. It is remarkable the relief Arnica provides.
