It seems there is more and more research coming out on why you should not be taking any of the most popular herbal and dietary supplements. A very recent study that’s been gaining attention lately, published in JAMA1, warns that turmeric, green tea, ashwagandha, black cohosh, red yeast rice, and Garcinia cambogia are liver toxic, …
Many children and adults deal with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), a condition affecting one’s focus, attention, and ability to perform cognitive tasks, with or without accompanying symptoms of restlessness and hyperactivity. The typical conventional treatment options are amphetamine-derived drugs which produce effects similar to methamphetamine and cocaine. Indeed, they are so effective for promoting short-term …
Ever since Ozempic was approved to treat type 2 diabetes, the “weight loss shot” and various other GLP-1 agonists have superseded most other weight loss strategies, despite their dangerous side effects and untoward cosmetic effects. Even in alternative health spaces, discussions are dominated by the search for “natural” GLP-1 agonists or targeted nutrition to support …
Nobody likes kidney stones, and unlike many lifestyle diseases that do not present with intense symptoms, the experience of kidney stones is often unpleasant enough to motivate lifestyle changes. Natural treatment modalities offer a number of options for treating kidney stones, and while many of these treatments can also serve as prevention, patients will often …
It makes sense intuitively that a healthy, nutrient-rich diet supports fertility. The process of growing a human from a single cell requires a vast supply of nutrients, and all human cultures including our own emphasize special nutrition for soon-to-be mothers. Whether it’s traditional cultures pushing them to eat raw liver and salmon roe, or modern …
Detoxification as a health strategy has become increasingly important since the 1960s, the decade following the post-war era’s “better living through science.” In that time, many armament and chemical factories, which had been producing substances for the purpose of killing humans, faced a need to pivot their businesses to peacetime, and the result was, to …
With so many herbal products on the market, it’s important to distinguish between different preparations and to select one whose strengths harmonize with one’s personal approach to healing. Within the practice of herbalism, there are widely varying dosing strategies that correspond to the many different ways an individual practitioner chooses to use herbs, and not …
Has a patient ever canceled a scheduled appointment with you due to an illness? It is ironic to consider deeming oneself too sick to see the doctor, but acute illness can be a cause of patient cancellations, especially if your practice is focused towards preventative medicine or holistic healthcare. We often stress the importance of …
Samuel Hahnemann conceptualized three homeopathic miasms, each corresponding to a chronic disease with an accompanied skin lesion that could be suppressed. He also posited Psora to be the original miasm, and claimed the other two chronic diseases in fact originated from it. According to Hahnemann’s theory, it was not even possible for an organism to …
In the second part of this series of blog posts, I will explore the defining features of Hahnemann’s three miasms in greater depth. Beyond the original trio of Psora, Sycosis, and Syphilis, the concept of miasms has been broadly expanded by modern homeopaths to include other diseases and even non-disease conditions such as allopathic drug …
It’s back to school season, which means by now many young adults will have returned to college, focusing on their futures and in some cases, traveling miles away from home. Academic life can be a major source of stress, and stress is of course a primary cause of illness. Many colleges and universities, recommend or …
Topically applied homeopathic products are becoming increasingly popular for a variety of local afflictions, especially pain and skin complaints. While good results can often be achieved through oral dosing as well, there are certain remedies throughout the homeopathic literature that stand out for their history of topical use. Not only do some remedies seem particularly …
While zinc supplementation is becoming ever more popular for immune support, zinc still tends to be overlooked as a mineral to support gut health, including both intestinal mucosal integrity and digestive function. Zinc deficiency can impair digestion in several ways but most directly by reducing gastric acid secretion. There is also evidence that zinc’s role …
Weight loss remains one of the most common health concerns for patients seeking alternative healthcare and one of the most difficult to successfully address. Losing weight should be simple, even without the added benefits that natural treatment can offer, and yet this is rarely the case in practice, especially with female patients. Many women seem …
By now, you’ve likely heard of the supposed new magic shot for weight loss. Though it goes by different trade names, the molecule itself is called semaglutide, and reports from people who have been prescribed the shot for weight loss and/or diabetes management are beyond remarkable – 20-25% of body weight melting off effortlessly with …
One of the most controversial aspects of homeopathy is the theory of the chronic miasms. Originally postulated by Hahnemann himself as the answer to why, despite the law of similars, homeopathic remedies often failed to cure permanently, it was considered insane by even some of his closest followers, who dismissed the idea as the senility …
The relationship of homeopathy to detoxification arguably extends to its very origins: horrified by the effects of drugging with mercury, opium, and quinine, the most popular medicines of his day, homeopathy’s progenitor Samuel Hahnemann pioneered a less-poisonous system of healing. Using the same toxic substances, which in rare cases seemed to have miraculous healing qualities, …
Myocarditis, whether viral, bacterial, toxic, autoimmune, or even due to parasites, has the potential to affect anyone, but it has become apparent that athletes seem to be disproportionately affected. Presently, they are literally dropping dead around the world, which is so striking because athletes in general are considered the healthiest members of the population, engaging …

It is ironic that just as the world seems to be emerging from one global catastrophe, as if on cue, another one comes along to take its place. The war between Russia and Ukraine has become a significant source of stress for many people around the world. In this case, the stress as well as the conflict's geographic and historical associations may call to mind a specific herb, known for its role in stress relief.
Sodium is an essential constituent of every tissue in the body, whereas mercury is a toxin with no known role in physiology. Salt is so crucial to physiology that many mammals will actively seek it out in the form of salt licks and so important to humans that it was once used as currency, whereas mercury exposure is associated with neurodegenerative disease and is widely feared. But if a patient suffers from hypertension it is likely to be salt they are told to avoid, even though a drastic reduction in sodium intake has been shown to have only a minimal effect on blood pressure, resulting in average reductions in the order of 5.5/2.8 mm Hg .
It's hard to think of a chronic disease that has not in some way been associated with excessive inflammation and/or excessive weight gain. It's also hard to think of a more elegant way to naturally address both of these concerns than by correcting the ratio of omega-three to omega-six fats in the body since a preponderance of omega-six from consuming diets high in linoleic acid is now thought to be a major contributor to both.
As a healthcare provider, there are few things more satisfying than watching a patient's condition improve or resolve completely with a single treatment. Among the many holistic treatment modalities, homeopathy is one of few that targets the vital force directly, and has been the agent of some of the most dramatic natural cures, in some cases the sole agent. In some cases, it is a single dose of a single remedy, and these cases are perhaps the most satisfying although more often, it requires repetition of the remedy or multiple remedies to achieve a satisfying result, as anyone who has worked with homeopathy knows.
Encouraging patients to make healthy lifestyle changes is integral to the practice of holistic medicine, since so many modern diseases relate directly to modern lifestyles. The new year provides a perfect occasion to prioritize this with patients, since so many people spontaneously resolve to relinquish old habits around this time, or begin new ones, often with the specific goal of improving their health. But we all know from experience how many of these people are likely to fail, and wonder perhaps if there are natural means to assist patients in keeping their new year’s resolutions to become healthier.
