“We have over-promoted and over-hyped this vaccine,”
Michael T. Osterholm, Director, Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy & Center of Excellence for Influenza Research and Surveillance.
“It does not protect as promoted. It’s all a sales job: it’s all public relations.”

Homeopathy and Flu Vaccine Injury

by Mary Aspinwall on January 17, 2013 in Current Events, Get Relief From...

Flu is back in the news again and there is a lot of media and government pressure for us all to have flu shots, but is it a wise approach?

I want to share with you one of my client’s experiences. She was a woman of thirty-five and the mother of young children. She came for an appointment with me saying she had been ill since having a flu vaccination nine months earlier.

Immediately after the shot she developed chest pain. When she came to see me, she still had a shooting pain behind her left breast and pain in … Read the rest...

Homeopathy: Sharing the Good News

by Mary Aspinwall on August 31, 2012 in Current Events, Homeopathy Fan Club, Uncategorized

I hope this finds you in good spirits and great health. Health is such an amazing gift, yet (sadly) sometimes we have to lose it, or see some one we love lose it, to fully realize its preciousness.

I don’t think I have ever shared this with you, but from an early age I had extremely poor health. By the time I was 19 years old I was very, very ill and despite lots of conventional treatment and invasive testing, I was just becoming weaker and weaker, sicker and sicker. At the time I was living in London and … Read the rest...

This week homeopaths around the world are celebrating WHAW (World Homeopathy Awareness Week). It coincides with Samuel Hahnemann’s birthday tomorrow on April 10th.

It may surprise you to know that Hahnemann, a German, is the only physician to be honored with a statue in Washington. In fact, just over a century ago there were 22 homeopathic medical schools, 100 homeopathic hospitals and over 1,000 homeopathic pharmacies. Boston University, Stanford University and New York Medical College all taught Homeopathy.

Homeopathic hospitals were once widespread

The Homeopathic Hospital in Reading PA, one of a hundred such hospitals.

In the ensuing decades, the AMA rigorously suppressed it because … Read the rest...

Homeopathy and Sustainability

by Mary Aspinwall on April 1, 2012 in Current Events, Eco-friendly & Sustainable, Uncategorized

It’s a sobering thought that our culture is destroying the foundations of everything we need to be healthy. The air, the water, the food and the communities we need to thrive are being systematically degraded.

Big agriculture means GMO monocultures, pesticides, feedlots with animals pumped full of antibiotics and growth hormones all enter the food supply. Amid all this destruction the pharmaceutical companies, offer to make us well again, for a price.

Homeopathy and PTSD

by Mary Aspinwall on November 11, 2011 in Current Events, Get Relief From...

On Veteran’s Day it is a sobering thought that 20% of those returning from Iraq and Afghanistan are likely to suffer from PTSD or major depression. According to the VA, in a 2005 report, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder was the fourth most common service-related disability.

PTSD is characterized by flashbacks or nightmares to the event(s) that caused the trauma, irritability, anxiety, hypervigilance and the tendency to startle easily. Often those with PTSD will withdraw from people, places and images that remind them of the original event. Hundreds of thousands of Veterans will also have experienced some form of brain injury. … Read the rest...
