What you may have failed to understand is that if you properly apply the components of the disease that are in your control, namely nutrition, lifestyle, and addressing your individual sensitivities with homeo- pathic medicine, then you can trump your genetics every time. The part of this disease within your control is greater than the com- ponent not in your control.


Misunderstanding #3: As Long as You Take Your Medication, Your Condition is Not That Big of a Deal


Not that big of a deal? Certainly, you


have read the side effects, both from the medications and the disease itself: • Neuropathy • Peripheral Vascular Disease • Heart Attack and Stroke


• Loss of Vision • Weight Gain • Fatigue


We live in the information age. We are


drowning in information. You may come to believe the three common misunderstand- ings by reading various sources on the internet or speaking to a friend or family member. Accepting them as fact only leads to disempowerment. This is what I am most frustrated by when I talk to patients, friends, and family members struggling with diabetes and heart disease. They have been convinced that there is nothing they can do. They are passively resigned to their fate and their control has been taken away. If you feel that nothing can be done about this disease except to take medication, then you will steadily coast along the diabetes/heart disease pathway, day by day moving closer to the side-effects listed above.

What Was Different About Our Approach? First, we addressed the underlying cause. Emily was partly in this situation due to the side effects of her anti-depressant and anti-anxiety medications. Her anxiety and extreme levels of stress response were compounding these metabolic effects. Flooding Emily’s body with nutrients from specific whole foods, not restricting her calorie intake, and not relying heavily on supplements or food-like shakes was key to her recovery. Our nervous system and our endocrine (hormone) systems are intimately connected and heavily dependent upon good nutrient status. Movement ensures the delivery of these nutrients, oxygen, and blood to all of our tissues, including our brain and the tissues that produce our hormones. It magnifies the effects of good nutrition. These two interventions fall into the “lifestyle” category. They address our in- ternal and external environment and utilize these factors to promote healing. However, the keystone to enhancing the synergy of these treatments is homeopathic medicine.


What is Homeopathic Medicine? Homeopathy is a specific system of using medicines to stimulate the body to respond with self-healing. The medicines act as a mild stressor, a small input to which the body responds in a healing manner. The homeopathic physician utilizes the char- acteristic sensitivities of the patient as data points that help to determine which medi- cine a patient will be sensitive to. We then use this medicine to work with the body, rather than against it as most pharmaceuti- cal drug treatments do.


In Emily’s case, I was confident that she would respond to homeopathic Sulphur


because people who typically are sensi- tive to Sulphur are also sensitive to easily becoming explosively irritable, experi- ence overwhelming anxiety, troubling skin symptoms with intolerable itching, are susceptible to tension headaches in the evenings, and may experience increased appetite with weight gain. Once we began to overcome these obstacles, Emily was better able to control the factors leading to her metabolic condition and to wean off of the drugs that compounded her metabolic deterioration.


Using homeopathic medicines to


overcome internal sensitivities allows patients to find faster relief in resolving their symptoms. Homeopathic treatment alone will never reverse diabetes or heart disease. It does, however, synergistically improve the patient’s response to life- style treatments and corrections. As they respond to the remedy and experience a reduction in their sensitivity, they become healthier as a whole person and can better maintain diet and lifestyle changes. This is why I consider homeopathy the “secret sauce” of medicine!


If you are struggling with metabolic syndrome, diabetes, or cardiovascular diseases like high cholesterol, high blood pressure, plaques in your blood vessels, or other chronic conditions, your main concern should be getting well and feel- ing better again. The smartest choice is to get to the root of the problem and not get “passed through” the medical system, be- ing treated like you do not know what you are talking about or feeling.


Ask yourself if you can afford NOT to


get treated. If you are honest with your- self, the answer is you CAN’T. Drugs often create long-term side effects and greater problems in the future. You can be one of the fortunate few who receive the proper support and treatment and live well, OR you can continue feeling like you do now. The choice is yours.
