Autoimmune diseases and allergies occur when the immune system attacks the body, as is the case in food allergies, asthma and celiac disease. But did you know that asthma, allergies and eczema are
Cottesloe Naturopathic Clinic's insight:
Allergies and autoimmune disease are on the rise in Western countries. Researchers believe this is due to changes in the microbiome, the body's host of friendly bacteria. One cause is excessive cleanliness and hygiene compared to previous times. Antibiotics and poor diet also negatively impact the microbiome, which is responsible for 80% of the body's immune system...

Learn about the "Hygiene Hypothesis" - . . .did you know that asthma, allergies and eczema are on the rise in Westernized countries? Or that food allergies more than tripled in the US over the course of a decade? And that developed countries are seeing a sharp increase in autoimmune and allergic diseases? As just a couple examples of the prevalence of these issues, asthma affects nearly 37% of children in the United Kingdom, and type 1 diabetes rates have increased 23% over an eight-year period.

Despite the skeptics that still ridicule homeopathy, its record of excellence in fighting epidemics is documented. In a crisis situation, where doctors and hospitals may be unavailable, homeopathy can bring healing to thousands through the sweeping action of a single well-chosen remedy.
Cottesloe Naturopathic Clinic's insight:
Homeopathy has a two hundred year history of outstanding success in epidemics like those of cholera, typhoid and influenza, and recently (2008) the carefully documented prophylactic treatment of leptospirosis in Cuba. In each instance cases treated by homeopathy had a small fraction of the mortality rate of those treated by conventional medicine...

We live in a world where fear is spread about viruses and bacteria. They are not just opportunistic organisms out to kill us but part of the balance of the natural world. With a holistic approach we must learn to be part of this balance.

A physics-based, “atavistic” model posits that cancer is a “safe mode” for stressed cells and suggests that oxygen and immunotherapy are the best ways to beat the disease
Cottesloe Naturopathic Clinic's insight:
Very interesting! So cancer may be a fail-safe mechanism for cells threatened by toxins or radiation, etc., like a computer running in safe mode. It evolved when life was unicellular and when immortality of the single cell was advantageous. Not so useful for multicellular organisms. The most interesting thing is that the article suggests that certain alternative approaches have merit. Because cancer evolved in a low oxygen, high acid environment, it makes sense to increase oxygen and reduce acidity by dietary means. Sodium bicarbonate anyone? #cancer #naturaltherapy #diet #acidity #alkalinity

Here in Perth the annual hay fever allergy season is fast approaching. Most of our rain falls in winter, and this year we experienced a record final month. So we expect to be busy in the next few months and over summer with cases of rhinitis, asthma and dermatitis triggered by pollen and plants.
