I was cleaning my desk and getting rid of old mail when I got a paper cut at the tip of my finger. It went deep — a drop of blood oozed out. I ran for an alcohol pad and cleaned it. The blood flow stopped after the third pad. I continued working, but after a couple of hours, I realized that I was unable to stop the unintentional strikes on the wound while doing small muscle tasks. My actions were interfering in regenerating the damaged tissue.
I took just one dose of Ledum Palustre 30C for a punctured, non-bleeding, cut. I am a holistic health practitioner. I covered it with a BAND-AID® — an Allopathic product. Does this make me prejudiced against this or any other Allopathic products? Oh, absolutely not. Common sense, the soul of science, tells me that it is a very useful thing when used promptly. While Ledum Palustre 30C was working on the therapeutic side of my cut, BAND-AID® was safeguarding it on the mechanical and physical side. I respect alcohol pads and BAND-AID® because they serve the valuable mechanical purpose of protecting my injury. Allopathic products are mechanical in nature versus homeopathic remedies which are therapeutic.
Conventional medicines — steroids, antibiotics, and pain killers are life-saving drugs. But they are all Band-Aids. They all have short term gains but a long-term loss — reducing the quality of life. They only give palliative relief under acute circumstances but are hopeless for any chronic ailment. In the words of Melody Petersen, author of Our Daily Meds “Americans spend more on medicines than all the people of Japan, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina — combined.” After prolonged use, the human body doesn’t stay the same. They cause direct, hidden, and undeniable effects. They are invasive and toxic to the mind, body, and spirit. At this point, mainstream medicine cannot go beyond these limitations.
The allopathic profession tacitly admits these limitations. A Radiologist, Pathologist, or Anesthesiologist cannot help their own children when they have a simple common cold. To avoid further complications like pneumonia, bronchitis they must take them to a Pediatrician. Why does an Ophthalmologist go to a Cardiologist for his annual heart checkup? Why does a Nephrologist have to go to a Urologist if he has a UTI (Urinary Tract Infection)? Because one specialization is barred and constrained from suggesting or fulfilling the challenges of another.
I used Homeopathy to its limits when I developed a kidney stone, about six years ago. That was my fourth severe attack of Nephrolithiasis (prone to kidney stones) in 22 years. For many years two typical mother tinctures Berberis Vulgaris Q (stone breaker) and Pareira Brava Q (pain reliever) were extremely effective. But this time the urinary retention (ischuria) was stubborn, and the pain was excruciating. I tried remedy after remedy but to no relief in pain. I was too close to the image of my own disease. The picture was vague and pixelated. I needed another doctor for treatment. I was turning pale. Self-medication is not an easy task. I was unable to therapeutically treat it.
I was turning paler. I was in pain as if a fish was out of water. As if a dagger was stabbing me from inside out.
My wife called 911. The ambulance came to my doorstep. While I was in the van, the junior paramedics nurse said, “I will give you diamorphine. “The senior nurse objected in an audible whisper, “No, give him Fentanyl.” The junior nurse agreed, “Sir, I will give you Fentanyl which is 80 times more potent.”
I took the narcotic with a sip of water as the van moved towards the emergency section of Mountain View Hospital for a CT (computerized tomography) Scan. While the pain started receding gradually, I was given another mechanical treatment of my disease — a limitation of Mainstream Medicine.
