Hands up … how many of you believe in the effectiveness of homeopathic remedies? Well, dear readers, you are certainly in the majority. But do I see a few sceptics at the back who are not raising their hands?
Allow me to introduce one of my students: Keryl A., who experienced first-hand — or should I say: on her own hands — just how effective homeopathy can be. Keryl spontaneously sent me this wonderful account unsolicited. With her kind permission I may publish it here.
"My skin problems began many years ago, back when I wasn't yet in primary school. In between I have periods when I have no complaints for years. When the skin problems then reappear, I'm always surprised at how aggressive they can be.
"The last time it was particularly bad. It began in June 2019 with an itchy rash between my index and middle finger on my left hand. The rash spread and was almost all over my body. My hands were the worst affected. The skin there peeled away and left open, sore areas.
"I have been in classical homeopathic treatment since 2009. In 2020 I began homeopathic treatment again. At that time I was caring for my aunt until her death and we all thought that my skin would improve as soon as my stress levels decreased.
"But that did not happen.
"In 2021 I came across Joette's homepage and her blog. I learned a lot and found the Banerji Protocol for seborrhoeic eczema with scaling.
The Banerji Protocols for seborrhoeic eczema
"In my notes I recorded that I began my treatment on 12 November 2021 with Arsenicum album C200, taken twice daily. Additionally I took Hepar sulph calc C200 every other day in the evening at bedtime. The first dose was also on 12 November 2021. On 13 November I began taking Tuberculinum bovinum C200* (not Tuberculinum bacillinum [the C200 is specified in the Banerji protocols]), once a week and always on Saturdays.
"I took the remedies in this way until 1 January, so for a total of seven weeks.
"By that time my hands were much better. The skin had stopped peeling and I no longer had open areas. But I again had an eczema with itchy, cracked skin and on 4 January I began the following protocol: Antimonium crud C200 in combination with Arsenicum album C200, twice daily, and Petroleum C200, also twice daily.
"On 10 January I had an appointment with my homeopath. She was thrilled with my progress and very happy that I am now learning from Joette….
"My hands are gradually changing and getting better. I am very pleased with my new skin. I am delighted, but I'll probably have to do the washing up again soon. LOL (my husband has taken that over since this whole thing started.)
"Thank you for sharing so much information and helping so many people." – Keryl A.
So, let's try again. Hands up … how many of you believe in the effectiveness of homeopathic remedies?
Yes, exactly. This time everyone raises their hand!
The homeopathic case-taking
I can well imagine that many of you are now thinking that Keryl's experience is a complete exception. But the result is far from unusual. I repeatedly see the hands of my clients who suffer from eczema, dermatitis or skin redness heal in this way.
When I take a case, I note the affected organ together with the client's main complaints at the left-hand margin of the file (liver, skin, disposition etc.). At follow-up consultations I then put an exclamation mark before the name of the organ that has improved so that I can better visualise the client's progress.
I also note how the organ has improved (e.g. the rashes have healed, liver enzymes are no longer elevated, etc.), and mark it with a green highlighter – exclamation mark and all. That way I always know which remedy helped, should the complaints recur at a later date.
The homeopathic documentation
Years ago, when I still worked according to the classical homeopathic method, an exclamation mark would only occasionally be visible. But now, thanks to Practical Homeopathy®, in most cases there are "!!!" before the first three organs. That's a wonderful thing! Practical Homeopathy® simply works better!
So this amazingly startling result of a well-chosen remedy is nothing unusual to me. I see it every day. What is unusual is that the affected person provides such irrefutable photographic proof. After all, I don't have photos to hand when I hear: "Oh my God, I couldn't eat dairy before, but now I can tolerate it again." You can't photograph lactose intolerance. And when a mother tells me, "Goodness, my child's middle ear infection is gone," there is rarely the opportunity to take a before-and-after photo of the ear canal. And we certainly can't look at images when someone says, "my period is no longer so painful."
That is why Keryl's testimonial is so lovely – because it's so VISIBLE!
But believe me – the results I see day after day in all parts of the body are no less inspiring, even if we don't have photographic proof.
So the next time you are asked whether you believe in homeopathy, I hope you have Keryl's hands in mind when you raise yours – emphatically and enthusiastically into the air.
Visual impressions like this are a great opportunity to share the good news about homeopathy!
Warmly,
Yours,
