As you all know, it is the middle of December 2010. I keep hearing repeated stories from friends and patients about being sick right now. I wonder a little bit what is really going on. Is it the cold weather and the snow? I live in Toronto and we have just had our first really frigid temperatures and lots of snow.
Is it stress as well? This time of year is sure a stressful one especially if you celebrate Christmas. The pressure of repeated family gatherings, spending money on presents for loved ones and lots of get-togethers. Just a lot of pressure. I think a lot of issues in our families tend to bubble up during this time of year because there is even more pressure and greater expectations for all of us to get along--even if we don't get along very well.
So, this combination of stress and expectations, cold weather seems to lead to lots of acute illness.
And, let me say this...I hate being sick. I mean I really hate it. But sometimes our bodies have other plans.
The good news is that there are lot of things you can do to prevent and manage acute illness.
1. Get plenty of rest- Are you regularily getting at least 8 hours of sleep per night? Quanitity and quality of sleep are play such a huge role in your quality of life. We need this even more during times of stress and with less hours of light.
2. Eat a diet high in fruits and vegetables with lean protein- It is really important to eat healthy foods during the winter and minimize your intake of sugar and dairy.
3. Take Vitamin D- Although some recent recommendations of the Institute of Medicine's Food and Nutrition Board recently changed their Vitamin D intake to 600iu per day. There is plenty of research to show that we need much more than this to prevent disease and maintain health. I usually recommend 4000iu per day. Check out the recent article by Dr. Mercola on this topic http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2010/12/11/vitamin-d-update-carole-baggerly-and-dr-cannell.aspx
4. Get fresh air and some exercise- In the winter, I want to get outside much less just because of the effort required in getting dressed. This is the time when we all need to get out even if it is just for a 30-minute walk. There are also so many great winter sports to discover.
5. Make a conscious intention to reduce stress-This is really such an important part of health. In addition to cardiovascular exercise, there are a variety of techniques to explore such as yoga, meditation and relaxation techniques ( progressive muscle scans, deep breathing). As a Reiki Practitioner, I also give myself a Reiki treatment when I get into bed at night which I find to be very soothing and relaxing. I usually fall asleep before even completing the whole treatment.
6. Homeopathic Flu Prevention- this is a natural medicine that I use myself to help prevent the development of influenza. I also use this with any interested patients. My patients are generally very pleased with it and people report not getting Influenza and experienced reduced and less severe acute illness.
7. Acute Homeopathic Treatment- If you do get ill, you can always consult a trained Homeopath to treat your cold, flu, strep throat etc. I personally love treating people for acute illness. When I find the correct remedy, it often works like magic. One patient calls Homeopathic Treatment "my little magic pills" because it works so wondrously and often, quickly.
For more information, please visit my website at http://www.redpearlhomeopathy.com/. I also offer Homeopathic Flu prevention throughout the winter for free to current patients and for $10 to the general public. This fee includes both the remedy and a mini-consultation.
If you check earlier blog posts, I have have written extensively about Homeopathic Flu Prevention and Homeopathy for the Treatment of Influenza.

Anxiety- It isn't Just in your Head!
It seems that lately in my practice I have been seeing more and more people suffering from anxiety. In many ways, I think that anxiety (and stress of course) is the most common ailment in modern society, especially for those of us living in fast-paced urban centres.
Of course, a little anxiety is not only "normal", it is actually good for you. Our bodies naturally respond to situations of real or perceived danger. This is called the "fight or flight response". In such situations, our bodies produce hormones like adrenaline and cortisol which lead to changes in the autonomic nervous system like increasing heart rate, slowing digestive function and reducing blood flow. Once the period of danger or stress is over, the body's function return to normal. Imagine however, if you are chronically living in this state?
I am always struck about how debilitating chronic anxiety is and that most people who really suffer from it do so largely in silence. It is just not talked about very much. While it may not be associated with the same stigma of depression and other mood disorders, I think that many people think chronic anxiety sufferers can just snap out of it.
If it were only that easy.
I wanted to say that there is hope. I have treated many people suffering from various forms of anxiety including generalized anxiety, panic disorders and anxiety-induced insomnia.
Homeopathic medicine works by finding the best match for your type of anxiety in people like you. What does this really mean? It means that every person experiences their anxiety slightly differently. One person may notice that they have difficulty falling asleep because they cannot turn their minds off. Another person may experience anxiety that interrupts sleep during the night to the point they are driven out of bed because of restlessness. Other people may feel such anxiety in specific situations that can lead to actual panic attacks and even fainting. Each person is different. One person may feel anxiety when performing or doing public speaking. Other people may experience panic in social situations or in crowds. In Homeopathy, we are looking at the specifics of your type of anxiety and looking for that one medicine that is the best match for all of you including your anxiety.
I actually love treating people with anxiety. I have found that the correct homeopathic medicine has such an amazing impact on improving both a person's anxiety as well as their ability to better cope with it.
This means that over time, Homeopathy not only reduces the intensity and frequency of anxiety symptoms, it also increases a person's ability to better tolerate situations that tend to trigger the anxiety.
There is no better feeling as a health professional to help a patient regain their quality of life again.

It's World AIDS Day Today
December 1st of each year brings with it a lot of contemplation for me. Today is World AIDS Day.
For me, today is the day I spend time reflecting about HIV/AIDS.
Today, I remember all of those people who died in the early years of the epidemic in North America. I also remember all the friends and colleagues I have personally lost to this disease. I also know that many people around the world are still dying and don't have access to any treatment.
I also honour those living with this disease. The medical advances in treatment and anti-retroviral treatment have been huge. In the West at least, a diagnosis of HIV or AIDS is not a death sentence. But, it is not easy. For many people, the side effects of medicine can really be difficult. Plus the stigma is still humungous for most people. It doesn't seem to matter which community you come from, there is still ostracization, misinformation and ignorance connected to having this disease. Plus, many people still have to give up their careers and financial security when they start treatment. Imagine paying a minimum of $1000 per month for the cocktail alone?
I wanted to contribute more than just being an ally and supporting HIV-positive friends. Several years ago, I thought about how best I can contribute to the AIDS movement. While I was in school for my Homeopathic training, I was working at the Toronto People with AIDS Foundation (PWA). I consistently had wonderful people in my office struggling with side effects of medication or health conditions caused by HIV itself. I really wanted to do something. I found out quickly that there were no other Homeopaths in Ontario actually treating people with HIV or AIDS. This saddened me and spurred me into action. So, I set out on my journey. I began treating a few HIV-positive people while in school under supervision. I noticed that Homeopathic treatment was capable of doing several things;
I consistently see people with HIV improve their wellness under homeopathic treatment. While I cannot promise a cure, I know from clinical observation that I can promise increased wellness. I hope that one day that all HIV specialists would refer their patients to see a qualified Classical Homeopath.
I do treat people with HIV based on a sliding scale. I also offer free Homeopathic flu prevention to people with HIV.

- Rise in CD4 counts- this occurs over gradually over time. I have consistently observed an increase of approximately 80-100 points within 2-3 months
- Reduction in side effects- HIV-positive people receiving chronic treatment experience less side effects
- Reduction in tendency to get sick with colds, influenza etc

Boost Your Immune System: Natural Flu Prevention
Are You Worried About Influenza This Winter?
• Do you tend to get sick during the winter months?
• Are you worried about Influenza again this winter.
• Are you looking for a natural way to boost your immune system?
Homeopathic Flu Prevention
If you are worried about Influenza, you are not alone. The good news is that a simple natural treatment is available for you and your family to help to boost your immune system and help you cope with the ailments that are more likely to happen during the fall and winter.
Homeopaths have been using Homeopathic Prophylaxis (or preventative treatment) to prevent the development of Influenza for over 150 years. The main remedy used for this is called Influenzinum. Homeopathic Prophylaxis is different from the ‘flu shot’ in that the ‘flu shot’ involves introducing crude doses of Influenza along with several chemicals into your body including thimerosol (mercury) and formaldehyde. On the other hand, homeopathic remedies including Influenzinum, have no extra chemicals in them and do not create side effects.
Homeopathy: An Effective Therapy for Acute Illness
If you do manage get sick this winter with influenza or another virus such as colds, sore throats, coughs and stomach viruses, Homeopathy offers an inexpensive, gentle and rapid treatment. Homeopathy gained its reputation by successfully treating many of infectious epidemics of the 18th and 19th century including the Spanish Flu of 1919.
Get Homeopathic Flu Prevention...
You can access this natural method of preventing Influenza starting in October 2010.
This treatment is offered for free to my patients and people living with HIV/AIDS. It costs $10 for the general public which includes a brief consultation as well as the homeopathic medicine.
By appointment only. For more information or to schedule your appoint, please contact;

Oh Those Springtime Allergies!!!
Tired of Sniffling, Sneezing from Seasonal Allergies?
We had an unbelievably mild winter this year. If you are like me, you are not a huge lover of the bitter cold. I was so happy to see the flowers blooming earlier than usual. Unfortunately, this means that all those lovely flowers and trees developed pollen earlier in the spring. Because of this, more people are experiencing more severe allergies than usual.
My Story
Lucky for all of us there is Homeopathic Medicine. I know I might sound a bit biased. But, just hear me out. Homeopathy has significantly improved my health in many areas including seasonal allergies. I developed a very intense allergy to Ragweed in the Fall of 1996 after living in Austin, Texas for approximately 2 years. My allergies seemed to get worse every year. And, they were awful. Imagine the worst head cold you have ever had, with constant burning, watery eyes and sneezing, and that was what I was like from the end of August to the first frost of each year. I tried everything from pharmaceutical medications, which stopped symptoms but never addressed my body’s sensitivity to develop allergies in the first place, herbs, acupuncture. You name it...I tried it. It wasn’t until I saw a Homeopath that I started to notice a huge improvement in my symptoms. Every year my allergies got better. Now, I may only have 1 or 2 bad days. This is a huge improvement in my quality of life.
What is Homeopathy anyway?
Homeopathy is an ideal form of treatment because it can lower your susceptibility to develop allergies through chronic treatment and treat acute symptoms of allergies as well. I have had two bad flare-ups of spring allergies this year—both times; homeopathic medicines cured the symptoms.
Homeopathy is a natural system of medicine that used remedies made from natural substances to stimulate your body to heal itself. The key to a successful prescription of a homeopathic medicine is based on individualization. If we use the example of acute symptoms of allergies, we are looking for a remedy that is the best match for your specific symptoms. Homeopaths will ask very specific questions about your allergies such as;
-Are you sneezing? What kind of discharge is there? When is the sneezing worse?
-Are you sniffling or is your nose running or is it blocked?
-What about your eyes? Are they itchy, watering, burning etc.?
-What else has changed since your allergies have gotten worse? This can include
changes in appetite, thirst, food cravings; feeling colder or hotter than
usual, changes in your mood and much more.
Some Remedies for Allergies:
Allium Cepa:
Have you ever experienced burning discharges from the eyes or nose and sneezing while cutting an onion? The Homeopathic remedy made from the red onion will work on similar symptoms in hayfever. So, if you have sneezing with a discharge that burns as well as watery eyes, Allium Cepa may be the remedy for your allergy symptoms. There can also be a dull headache located in the forehead, watering eyes, feeling hot and thirsty with a lack of appetite, generally feels worse inside and in the evening and is better outside in the fresh air. There can also be great sensitivity to the smell of flowers.
Euphrasia:
If the eyes are the problem, you might want to take a look at this remedy from the plant Eyebright. This remedy can cure allergic symptoms that are the opposite of Allium Cepa. In Euphrasia, there is a lot of watering of the eyes accompanied by a lot of burning while the sneezing is quite bland. Other symptoms can include a dull headache accompanied by profuse watering of the eyes, the eyes are very sensitive to light, frequent burning of the eyes that makes the patient wink frequently; redness of the eyes.
Sabadilla:
This remedy is also especially useful in the acute treatment of allergies. Its symptom picture includes burning red eyelids, with tears flowing worse during sneezing, yawning and coughing. There is violent or spasmodic sneezing along with a runny nose. The secretions are watery, worse from the odor of flowers, even from thinking about flowers. The patient picks at his nose because it feels dry and itchy. Cold air definitely makes the patient feel worse. The throat is painful especially on empty swallowing, is better from hot drinks and the pain can go from left to right.
Pulsatilla:
Pulsatilla is a remedy that is commonly prescribed in practice for a variety of chronic complaints, but it is also an excellent remedy for acutes such as coughs, colds and allergies. Symptoms that indicate its use include burning or itching of the eyes that causes rubbing, stuffed up nose inside but fluent outdoors. There is usually a strong desire for fresh air. There can also be discharges that are bland and yellow from the nose or eyes. In general, people who need Pulsatilla are gentle and weepy with their ailments. There will often be a desire for rich and creamy foods and thirstlessness.
Keep in mind that there may be a remedy that is a better match for your specific symptoms that the few that are listed here. If you don’t feel a significant improvement within 24 hours, please consult a trained Homeopath for a consultation.

Homeopathy For Autism Spectrum Disorder
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurological disorder that includes a spectrum of diagnoses varying from Autism to Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) It tends to afflict children under 3 years of age.A diagnosis of Autism is devastating for families because there is currently no cure available in Western Medicine.
How Can Homeopathic Medicine Help?
Homeopathic Medicine can play an important role in improving symptoms of Autism Spectrum Disorder ranging from improving a wide constellation of symptoms to cure. In most cases, better results can be expected when earlier homeopathic treatment is started. The recovery of health is a process. Even though treatment can take several months to several years, you should begin to see changes within a few weeks of the selection of the correct homeopathic remedy. Although homeopathy can achieve great results with many forms of Autism, it is known to be especially successful with Asperger’s Syndrome. This is because these children (or adults) are often obsessed with certain interests such as trains, or coins and they tend to have more verbal skills. Both of these attributes will help a Homeopath more easily find the characteristic symptoms in each case.
