Real-life effect of classical homeopathy in the treatment of allergies: A multicenter prospective observational study
Cottesloe Naturopathic Clinic's insight:
All homeopaths know the gratifying results that can be achieved in the treatment of allergies. This summary of research from the Aurum Project shows the positive effects of homeopathy on a range of allergy-related problems. Also see our Perth clinic page: http://www.cottnat.com.au/treatment-of-allergies-perth/

For the first time, work in mice shows that dietary fibre, found in fruit and vegetables, influences gut microbes in ways that affect how easily airways
Cottesloe Naturopathic Clinic's insight:
The 1980s and 1990s saw large increases in the incidence of allergy-triggered asthma. Many researchers have linked this to marked changes in diet around the world, including a decrease in the amount of fibre eaten. This research shows that fermentable fibre in the diet causes an increase in gut bacteria that convert this fibre to short chain fatty acids, that in turn reduce allergic lung inflammation...

Cottesloe Naturopathic Clinic's insight:
Dark circles under the eyes are an indicator of allergies and intolerances, and an overactive immune system. This is usually related to a compomised gut lining that allows food proteins to pass through into the blood stream undigested - known as intestinal permeability or "leaky gut syndrome"...

Our homeopathy research shows earmix which is made up of Kali muriaticum 3x and Ferrum phosphoricum 3x, helps to treat glue ear and recurrent ear infections
Cottesloe Naturopathic Clinic's insight:

Here a Sydney homeopath investigates her own case histories and oulines the success using a constitutional approach together with a routine combination of two tissue salt remedies.

Cottesloe Naturopathic Clinic's insight:
Several surveys show vaccinated children have five times the disease rates of unvaccinated children. This includes asthma, reoccurring tonsillitis, chronic bronchitis, sinusitis, allergies, eczema, ear infections, diabetes, sleep disorders, bed wetting, dyslexia, migraines, hyperactivity, ADD, epilepsy, depression, and slower development of speech or motor skills.

Molluscum contagisoum is a form of warts caused by a virus that infects the skin. Very common in children, it causes multiple small, fleshy bumps to appear on the trunk, arms, face, and other areas. While not dangerous, molluscum lesions can be itchy, inflamed, and unsightly. The infection is spread by direct contact, and can last for months, or even years
Cottesloe Naturopathic Clinic's insight:
My experience is that in most cases molluscum is easily treated by homeopathy. As this article states it is important to treat the child with an individual constitutional remedy, which can also be combined with a lesional remedy.

As promised, I want to review some of the highlights from the recent conference on the relation between our gut, our brain, our immune system and our food. To the right, you will see me pictured with my colleague Joel Kahn, M.D.

Holistic medical practitioner Dr Soram integrates phytotherapeutics, environmental medicine, acupuncture and homeopathy with traditional Internal Medicine. In this article he speaks of research linking coeliac disease with cardiomyopathy and atrial fibrillation, a common issue amongst baby boomers. He suggests there may be an issue withthe less severe problem of gluten sensitivity that could be worth exploring.

Four controlled clinical trials have now shown that homeopathic remedies relieve earaches and infections, and work faster than antibiotics. Symptoms improved rapidly, often within hours of the remedy being given and without the introduction of new problems as can occur with antibiotics and analgesics. One of the trials also showed that children whose earaches were treated with homeopathy were less likely to have their infection return

There’re lots of products that promise to boost your immune system—who wouldn’t want that? Well, millions of people suffer from autoimmune diseases..
Cottesloe Naturopathic Clinic's insight:
Everyone talks about wanting to eat foods or take remedies to "boost the immune system". However those with autoimmune diseases, chronic inflammatory diseases and allergies already have an overactive immune system. Research shows that mushrooms boost the part of the immune system that fights infection and cancers, while downregulating the part that results in chronic inflammation...Perfect!

Surprisingly, about 70 percent of all antibiotics used in the United States are given in low prophylactic doses to farm animals in an effort to ward off rampant disease on our mega feedlots. If the CDC is right, this practice is causing people to die in increasing numbers from infections that simply won't respond to treatment anymore
Cottesloe Naturopathic Clinic's insight:
In this study with pigs, homeopathic treatment was far superior to prophylactic doses of antibiotics in preventing respiratory disease. Prophylactic antibiotic treatment made it only 11 percent less likely (than placebo) that the pigs would become sick. But homeopathic remedies made it 40 percent less likely....

The homeopathic approach to food allergies may surprise some people: food allergies will completely disappear with proper treatment.
Cottesloe Naturopathic Clinic's insight:
Homeopathy views food sensitivities (and allergies, too) as an expression of a disturbance in the patients energetic system. This system keeps all the tissues and organs as well as the emotions and intellectual apparatus functioning at optimum level. Under stress, the energetic system will cause certain symptoms, such as food intolerances or allergies, to appear. These symptoms are not a disease to be cured in themselves, but a reflection of an underlying, deeper malfunction.

Homoeopathy works both upon the healing system and the immune system while other systems of medicine work only upon immune system. That is why Homoeopathy is also called the Rational art of Healing.
Cottesloe Naturopathic Clinic's insight:
Homeopathy is a unique system of medicine that works on the body as a whole, and not just on one organ or system. It mobilises the body's defences and all aspects of body healing. The body in its own wisdom then does what it needs to do. Patients usually expect that remedies will "boost their immune system". That may well be the result, but that is a simplified view. This article makes a useful distinction between the immune system and the healing system...

When working well, our immune system protects us by destroying dangerous bacteria, viruses and toxins that enter our body. In the case of hay fever however, something goes horribly wrong and our immune system starts to over-react to harmless substances such as pollens, grasses, and animal dander

Dr. Stuart Reeves lists symptoms that indicate our immune system is out of balance.
Cottesloe Naturopathic Clinic's insight:
Our obsession with cleanliness and our paranoia about "germs" has a lot to do with the increase in allergies and autoimmune disease. Dr Stuart Reeves explains: "If you compare us to rural Africa, when we’re young and when we’re growing up, we are not challenged by our environment. We live in a sterile society. We don’t eat dirt, we’re vaccinated against diseases, we shower every day, we don’t keep animals in the living room and this has led to an imbalance in our immune systems." More animals in the living room I say!
