Today is World Homeopathy Day a holy day among homeopaths, as it celebrates the birthday of Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, founder of this medicine. Of course, the principle of Homeopathy, or 'like cures like' is a law of nature, used and documented long before Hahnemann. (think the Indian Vegas, Aristotle, Paracelcus) But Hahnemann's tremendous service to the world was to create a comprehensive method of diagnosis and dosing. ... Using the avoidance of harm to the patient as the doctor's highest ideal, he developed potentized remedies, using them one at a time to treat the whole person, with the minimum dose - just enough to kickstart the patient's own healing capability. And now there are millions of people around the world who use this medicine! It's amazing it's still around despite all the attempts to destroy it. But the people will never let it die because it works. I heard an anecdote from the 80's when Homeopathy started to resurge in California: New homeopaths (who'd gone abroad to learn) were thrilled to discover nonagenarian doctors still practicing Homeopathy in San Francisco hospitals! They were fortunate enough to arrange a meeting, hoping to hear stories about the Homeopathy's heyday in the early 20th century. Well, it turns out they were not allowed to talk about homeopathy, or teach anyone how to use it if they wanted to keep their license, so they had a nice dinner and that was it. Western Medical doctors wanted the medicine to die with these doctors and they had them sign contracts agreeing to this if they wanted to practice. This is our history. But we're still here. Happy World Homeopathy Day

Happy Easter High above me, this ancient fir is budding. Not very showy, but no less meaningful than the splashy, pink cherry trees, right? Thankfully, new beginnings come in many forms, but regardless they take surrender and resolve, which I think this holiday speaks to. It does for me. Blessings on the healthy changes you are making this spring, no matter how tiny. Energy flows where attention goes. ... . . . . . . . . . . . . #rebirth #newbeginning #trustyourbody #resilience #balance #homeopathy #holistichealth #illnessprevention #tcm #acupuncture #epigenetics #treatthepersonnotthedisease #susceptibility #constitutionalmedicine #energymedicine #sustainability #environment #greenmedicine #sustainablemedicine #healing #homeopathicmedicine #chronicdisease #acutedisease #stress #wellness #awareness #mindbodyspirit #mindbodymedicine #spring See more

‘‘Wind, rain, dew, thunder, sun and moon, stars, animals and plants, mountains and rivers, earth and stones are essentially of one body with man. It is for this reason that such things as the grains and animals can nourish man and that such things as medicine and minerals can heal diseases. Since they share the same material force, they enter into one another." - 16th-century neo-Confucian philosopher Wang Yangming

2020 Review...I’m back with Part 2! I got seriously distracted by the events of 2021!!! That and my phone took a hike in the rain and lost some functions for a week. She’s all better now. Ok, onto ... Summer to Winter Mostly I was in my office on zoom taking classes, seeing clients and studying TCM. the rest of the time, nature was the saving grace. JulyI have a million pictures from July; every flower, vegetable, sunset, animal, insect and friend I saw was such a relie...ving joy, I had to to memorialize it. This was THE sunset of the summer. My holidays were both TEN minutes travel from my house. The world sure got smaller. Felt really lucky to call Salt Spring home. August The community gardens took off! Weekly work parties, harvesting, preserving, meals from the fields and sleeping outdoors. Now that Karen means you’re basically an idiot, my garden mate (also Karen) and I change our names to Wild and Groovy September I become an empty nester. Avy and I hike out to Mystic Beach for one last getaway before she moved off island. How did that happen so fast? October Glued to the news: wildfires, Covid, vaccines, BC / US elections. My nervous system is shot. I also make a mug, thanks to @mademud November I attempt the Girlfriend Trail up Mount Maxwell and only make it halfway. #2021goals December Grateful for precious moments of connection...laughter is the best medicine! Thank you for being part of my year Sending you the brightest of blessings for 2021

What is the air quality like in your workplace? Your child's school? Or most critically, your elder's care home and your local hospital? One good outcome from the pandemic could be an upgrade of air quality in public spaces but I don't hear anyone talking about it. Or very few anyhow - here are two articles I think are very relevant regarding COVID-19 and aerosols. One's in French from Montreal but the text can be copied and pasted into google translate, right? Well worth the read on how parents took it upon themselves to prevent COVID spread in the school through some simple engineering. The second is about Japan taking it's lessons from the Princess Diamond Cruise ship for it's 3C policy. https://www.lapresse.ca//2021-01-09/besoin-de-ventiler.php https://www.economist.com//the-japanese-authorities-unders

This is the kind of excellent news that gets generated when vaccine researchers and homeopaths work together! Cuba is leading the way, as shared in this letter to the Indian Journal of Research in Homeopathy. Read further about their results of using a combination Homeopathic preparation as a preventative against COVID-19: "Homeoprophylaxis was distributed to 45,914 health care workers with only 62 positive cases (infection rate = 0.14%). Then it was given to 953,416 "families" in 43 municipalities, with a result of 1537 positive cases. There were ONLY 11 adverse events, 4 considered moderate and 7 considered mild." https://www.ijrh.org//IndianJResHomoeopathy144293-1241196_
