Welcome to the June 2011 Newsletter,

Here we are at the beginning of winter and continuing on from last month's theme of turning inwards and considering where we're going during this season of introspection, I had some inspiration on the subject as I was in the process of compiling the newsletter. Read my thoughts below.

In Southern Tasmania we've had our first heavy frosts and woken to a landscape of glistening white. The leaves are nearly off the trees but we still have flowers in the garden with late roses, hydrangeas - which have been fabulous this year - and a particularly gorgeous bright red pineapple sage which the honey eaters just love. We've also been adopted by a pair of native grass parrots, one of which is so tame he keeps trying to land on your head!

Our winter crops are in and coming up already and we're still eating the amazing carrots our soil has been producing, along with our first crop of Jerusalem artichokes and some great turnips. I had to replant some of the brassicas after the birds got to them and have now smartened up and netted everything! We're now into the season of using the range to cook on, warming the kitchen and drying the never ending flow of washing! I've put in the newsletter one of our favourite winter recipes - Boston Baked Beans - which works really well in the range, but equally well in a slow cooker or standard oven.

Keep warm and keep healthy! Melanie

What is your life purpose?

"We can never judge the lives of others because each person knows only their own pain and renunciation. It's one thing to feel that you are on the right path but it's another to think that yours is the only path." Paulo Coelho

I had these words pasted in for this month's newsletter but was feeling they weren't appropriate. Then I spoke to a friend who confirmed that actually this is very relevant at this time. More than anything the message is that there are a lot of things happening energetically for the planet. These rebound onto our physical and emotional being and can feel like it is our "stuff" that we are working with and that we need to do something else, something new, something that will move us on along our life path to get us out of it. In actual fact it can just be that we are picking up on the energy of tornadoes, earthquakes or volcanoes before or as they happen.

My advice is to try and just "be in the moment". To not panic and rush around when things seem to come apart at the seams, because more often than not it will pass in a few days if you can be grounded and calm. Some people's path is to experience these energies very physically, while another path may not require this. As my friend said so eloquently today, so many of us run around in small circles trying to work out what our life path is, while actually the most important thing is to just be ourselves and to experience what life puts in our path, rather than trying to find it! More often than not if we just try to "be" things happen as intended and the overall experience becomes less traumatic.

If you feel you are stuck at a certain place and you work with the chakras or the Angelic Realms, you may find the Twelve Harmonics for Soul Integration or the Angel Harmonics are appropriate tools to work with right now. Both of these I created around ten years ago, but have never used them extensively. However, they seem to be coming into their own now as life speeds up and we are pushed forward seemingly at random! See below for more information.

Magic of the Minimum Dose

I am required by TGA to advise a dosage for any remedies I sell, but I also teach certain formulae home prescribers can use when giving remedies just for ease of understanding. However, one of the main tenets of homeopathy is to give the minimum dose required to stimulate the immune system to bring about a healing reaction. This is because once the immune system starts to work it will usually continue to do so until it runs out of steam and another dose is needed.

This means different things in different situations. In times gone past I would give a single dose and wait to see what happened in chronic conditions. When immune systems were stronger a single dose might work for two or three weeks before another dose was required. These days I tend to find that with our immune systems constantly challenged by stress and our environment, I'm giving more frequent doses to support the system and keep the healing reaction happening. I also see that different types of potencies are needed than previously, which I attribute to the possibility that EMFs may actually be resonating at the same frequency as some of the potencies I had used in the past. It's quite likely that this is due to the increasingly high coverage of mobile phone towers and similar.

With acute illness we often think that we need to give frequent doses - and this can be the case. I always teach people to match the frequency of the remedy to the energy of the illness. If the illness is intense eg high fever, lots of pain, very emotional, more doses will be needed as the body will use up the remedies more quickly. If the onset of an acute illness is slow, perhaps over the course of a few days or a week and not very intense, less frequent doses will be needed to match this slow energy.

There are cases in acutes where a healthy person with a vigorous immune system will throw a high fever and other intense symptoms. This type of reaction shows that the immune system is functioning well as it takes good energy to produce this kind of reaction. You might think that lots of doses would be needed to treat this very acute situation. But if you give a dose and observe, you might actually find that the stronger immune system will run with a single dose and continue to improve without further doses.

Winter Remedies

In case you missed out on the April newsletter, which had an extensive list of remedies and treatments for winter, this can be accessed on the Newsletter page on the website.

The minimum remedies to have in your kit as this point in the winter should be Anas Barb 200c (preventative/treatment remedy for viral/bacterial illness) to take weekly if susceptible to winter ailments. Tissue Salt Comx K (Kali Mur/Ferrum Phos/Nat Mur) for the beginnings of things where you just "suspect" something is starting right through to the runny nose symptoms. Cold Comfort for the definite beginnings of a cold, one of the Cough Combinations and the Flu Combination if you are susceptible. While the combinations won't work for everyone, they do work for the majority so definitely worth a go. Obviously supplements like ACE & Zinc are great and don't forget our Immune Boost combination which gets good feedback. We have a Mini Winter Kit which contains most of the above at a substantial saving on the single remedy price.

If a member of your family has recurrent illness during winter I would recommend a constitutional treatment to tune up the immune system so that acute remedies will work better and health improves over time.

History of Homeopathy

Barbara Armstrong, long time administrator of the Australian Homeopathic Association, has launched a new website. This will become a major resource for people with an interest in history. Titled: The History of Homoeopathy in Australia, here is the link. www.historyofhomeopathy.com.au

What's on the Website

Don't forget delivery is free on orders over $100 Australia wide!

Practitioner Support Spray - As practitioners we experience a variety of energies which can drain, exhaust and confuse us, often despite our best efforts at protecting ourselves. Based on many years of working with esoteric homeopathics and essences I created this product for myself and now offer it to those practitioners who find creating energetic boundaries difficult; leading to exhaustion, heaviness and sometimes negativity.

Use Practitioner Support before and after each client to clear and rebalance the energies, revitalise the aura, strengthen personal boundaries and create a sacred space for healing to take place. I've had some great feedback on this spray.

Convalescence - If slow to recover from an illness, particularly of the respiratory system, this combination may assist. Remedies are selected to brace up the system and improve the appetite.

Cases of this nature will often require constitutional treatment by a homeopath to fully resolve and to prevent repeat occurrence.
Contains: SVR30 Convalescence (Avena S 6x, Carb Veg 30c, Gelsemium 30c, Phos Ac 6c, Sulphur 30c, Tub A 30c)

Angel Harmonics These beautiful essences which I created a few years back are once again coming to the fore and I have felt the push to put them back on the website. Now available in drops or a spray they can be selected intuitively to use during meditation, before sleep or just as you feel. Buy individually or buy the whole set and work with the Angelic Realms.

Twelve Harmonics for Soul Integration are a set of essences I created over ten years ago to address some of the issues and blocks people experience on their path. While they are partly represented by the seven chakras just for ease of reference, I find intuition is the best way to choose them. The set also includes Harmony, Integration, Rescue (Dark Night of the Soul), Surrender and Meditation which I felt covered most of the needs of the spiritual seeker. We have used them extensively as a tool to accompany our Inspired Life Path readings and have had great feedback in their ability to move people through blocks. I have also used them alongside traditional remedies in the clinic with similar results.

You will find both the Angel Harmonics and Twelve Harmonics for Soul Integration under Esoteric Homeopathy in the shopping cart.

Combinations Flyer

The Combinations Flyer is complete and I've linked it here. It will be available on the FREE Notes & Leaflets page of the website and will be sent out with orders.

Topical Items from naturalnews.com, wddty.co.uk, etc

Here are some items from these very informative websites and more. As always I do not warrant this information to be correct or accurate but provide the links so you can investigate for yourself.

Flu Shots "fade out"

In a shocking admission, the CDC (in the USA) now publicly says that flu shots "fade out" after just a few months, and therefore you need to get the same flu shot, year after year, for the same exact flu strains that you already got injected with in previous years!
In other words, the CDC is now publicly admitted that flu vaccines do not work as claimed: They don't build up natural immunity and they don't create viable antibodies. Of course, the fact that flu vaccines don't work is hugely important for the profits of the vaccine manufacturers who need annual profits to feed their greed.

Hundreds of herbal remedies are now outlawed across Europe as the Big Pharma bribery and corruption racket has infected the lawmakers there. Today, getting anti-cancer herbs and natural remedies is a lot more difficult than it used to be. And they're targeting the United States next: www.naturalnews.com/032389_herbal_remedies_Europe.html

Vaccination Issues

Vaccines cause autism
More breaking news: The U.S. government admits that vaccines cause autism in its payouts of hundreds of millions of dollars to parents whose children collapsed into autism after receiving vaccine shots. This is yet more evidence that even the government cannot deny the link between vaccines and autism:

Polio Vaccination
As the historical record clearly shows to those who seriously look into it, polio vaccines are better at causing polio than preventing it! Here's yet more evidence: 78 percent of Pakistani children with polio were themselves vaccinated with polio vaccines!
www.naturalnews.com/032587_polio_vaccines_Pakistan.html

www.vaccineinjury.info
A homeopath in Germany is doing a study on the health of unvaccinated children. This is a good website and a very worthwhile study. Do have a look whether or not your child is vaccinated. They are also looking to survey a large number of unvaccinated children so if you child fits the bill please do your part.

Kalamunda Chiropractic Store is closing

This is the last month of sales from Kalamunda Chiropractic store with discounts of 50% on single bottles and creams, 25% off kits and 10% off books. While this is bad news for some locals, we do have a much wider range on our website and postage is a small $5 or is FREE if you spend over $100.

Going Vegetarian

With winter almost up on us I thought it was time to include another of our favourite, tried and tested winter recipes.

Boston Baked Beans from Rose Elliot's Complete Vegetarian Cookbook with my own additions! So much better than the shop bought variety and a meal in itself with fresh crusty bread or a jacket potato. If you're a bit of a carnivore you could include sausages or pork belly.

350g dried haricot or cannellini beans
1 large onion
1 tbspn olive oil
1 tspn dry mustard
2 tspns black treacle
150ml tomato juice (I usually just use a tin of tomatoes)
2 tbspn tomato puree
2 tspns brown sugar
275ml stock (you may need extra to top up during cooking)
1 bayleaf
Salt to taste

Soak beans overnight, drain and rinse, then cook in fresh water until almost tender, then drain again.
Peel and slice the onion. Set oven to 140C. In a casserole fry the onion in oil for about 5 minutes or until soft, then add the rest of the ingredients and bring to the boil. Cover and put in the oven for about four hours, stirring occasionally and topping up the liquid if necessary.

Homeoprophylaxis (HP or Homeopathic Immunisation) - Adding new babies to your program

PLEASE READ Tetanus, whooping cough outbreaks and similar situations

I've had a number of phone calls from worried parents with a child who has stood on a rusty nail or similar wanting to know what they should do, particularly if the child has to attend the GP or hospital.

Do remember that on the back of your program card there are instructions for a variety of situations including where there is a risk of tetanus. Your program contains Ledum 30c which is the anti-tetanus remedy to enhance the protection of the Tetanus Tox 200c/10M you administer during the program. Whether you choose to get a tetanus shot or not, at this stage it is recommended you give the Ledum as per the card.

Similarly, if Whooping Cough is closing in on your area and you feel the need for additional protection, instructions are on the back of the card.

I am always happy to talk to you if you are concerned, but it is important you know what to do and that you act as soon as possible since many of these events seem to happen on a weekend when I'm not always immediately available.

Adding a new baby to an HP program

If you have a new baby and want to use your homeopathic immunisation program for this child ask me to sent you a questionnaire and organise a phone consult (if appropriate), after which I will send you out a record card and offer the usual support. There is a small fee to cover the cost of the paperwork and the consult. Your new baby will then be added to the register I hold in the clinic of all children who are currently using an HP program.

Clinic Hours

I am now consulting in Hobart all day on both Tuesday and Friday. Saturday mornings are now by arrangement only. Consults (including phone consults) are available at Mountain River all day Wednesday and some Mondays if I have time.

Distance/Skype Consultations - I offer consultations by phone or skype, if you have it available. Skype can be very useful for treating children and just for having a face to face chat if you are not local to the clinic.

You can email melanie@elementsofhealth.com.au for appointments or phone 0409 089965. Please note the clinic is closed on Thursdays - emergency calls only.

Until next time,
Warmest wishes

Melanie Creedy
