SouthPort Homeopathy - the Natural Path to Wellness

Welcome!

"Long before you’ve pulled the sheets up, rested back onto a soft pillow and drawn a curtain on the day, your body will have silently defended against countless threats. Viruses, bacteria, poisons, cancers – all elegantly swept away as part of the usual routine. When life flows in harmony the human body has a miraculous ability to heal itself.

However we do fall ill. The system, confronted with an imbalance it cannot overcome alone, makes us sick. In this suffering we change in many ways. There may be pain, disability, moods and alteration in various functions. In other words we are no longer "ourselves". It is an altered experience of life - a different "state". The disease state is the tool used to portray the remedy needed to ignite healing. This is the profound insight given to us by Homeopathic medicine. In other words, your body is telling us exactly what it needs if only we can understand – if only we listen".

- Joseph Kellerstein D.C., N.D., FCAH

Many of us take our body and health for granted – carrying on day-to-day without much thought or concern until we experience a symptom of ill health. It is only then that we realize our own vulnerability and susceptibility to illness whether through inherited tendencies or environmental exposures or just plain not looking after ourselves.

In this life, you only get one body! Contrary to what modern medicine may say, we ARE affected by what we eat, drink and breathe and need to listen better to what our body is saying. It’s foolish to believe otherwise. The human body is miraculous – with the ability to heal itself given the right tools. I believe Homeopathy IS one of those tools. Heck, I don’t want to live to be 110 years old but I DO want to live to a ripe old age with all my faculties and without many of the constraints we often see in the elderly today (who, by the way, are taking on average 8-14 medications per day). Imagine reaching a milestone of 80 years of age and feeling great – able to maintain an active lifestyle and still enjoying all the things that life has to offer without being a burden on those you love. This is my hope for you and your family. Remember, feeling better is not a destination but instead a continuous path. Join me on this journey…the best is yet to come! more about us

Yours in health,

What is homeopathy?

Today, homeopathy is one of the world’s most widely used medical systems and continues to offer affordable, effective help to millions of people.

Homeopathy’s mission is to help the body rid itself of disease in the way that is most rapid, gentle, safe and permanent. It is a 200 year old system of medicine that uses minute doses of natural substances to ignite the body’s ability to heal itself.

Homeopathic remedies come from the natural substances of our world – plants, minerals, organic substances – which are prepared in a unique way to heighten their healing properties while at the same time are highly diluted to remove any possible negative side effects. Unlike synthetic drugs, they never lose their potency or efficacy because they are made of all natural components and are not combined with any unnatural substances that can cause unpredictable side effects.

Homeopathy is a complete medical system that has been practiced for over 200 years by professional homeopaths, homeopathic doctors and in hospitals worldwide. In 1796 a German doctor, Samuel Hahnemann , discovered a different approach to the cure of the sick which he called homeopathy (from the Greek words meaning 'similar suffering'). Like Hippocrates 2,000 years earlier, he realized that there were two ways of treating ill health, the way of opposites and the way of similars. While conventional medicine follows the “opposites” approach, homeopathy heals according to the fundamental law of nature “like cures like”.

Take, for example, a case of insomnia. The way of opposites (conventional medicine) is to treat this by giving a drug to bring on an artificial sleep. This frequently involves the use of large or regular doses of drugs which can sometimes cause side-effects or addiction.

The way of similars - the homeopathic way - is to give the patient a minute dose of a substance which in large doses causes sleeplessness in a healthy person however in a person suffering from sleep deprivation, it will enable the patient to sleep naturally. Because of the minute dosage no side-effects or addiction will result.

Homeopathy focuses on treating the person with the disease, not the disease. Conventional or modern medicine’s aim is to fight or suppress the symptoms of a diagnosed disease with chemically altered mixtures of substances or invasive techniques. While this may be appropriate in certain situations, such as a life-threatening emergency or physical injury, in many other situations this approach can be less effective and sometimes even harmful. Every year thousands of people’s health is further compromised by negative drug interactions, serious side effects from their medications or medical procedures. For people whose symptoms fall outside of a conventional diagnosis, doctors may be at a loss as to any kind of treatment. Homeopathic treatment, however, addresses all the symptoms a person is experiencing regardless of whether they fit into a medical diagnosis or not. This system of medicine looks at the totality of the physical, mental and emotional symptoms and chooses one remedy (or when appropriate, a series of remedies over time) which most closely matches that totality. A homeopathically prepared remedy stimulates the curative process and brings the whole person to greater health and vitality.

Within any illness lies a potential for healing, strengthening and growth. Homeopathic treatment supports and furthers your overall health by stimulating your own system to overcome whatever disease, weakness or susceptibility has become part of your experience. Successfully overcoming an illness or impediment without the interference of chemical or suppressive drugs is a strengthening experience for the immune system and overall vitality.

Homeopathic medicine offers the possibility of curing disease, removing inhibitory blocks and freeing us to live fuller, healthier, more expressive and happier lives. for more on homeopathy

Why is Homeopathy rising in popularity?

Homeopathy is becoming popular for a number of reasons, which include:

1. Safety - serious adverse reactions, especially death, are virtually unheard of with the use of homeopathic remedies.
2. Homeopathy is far more cognizant of the individuality of the patient – it embraces the concept that there is no entity as a disease, only an interaction between disease process and an individual patient.
3. Homeopathy recognizes and appreciates the fact – and it is a fact – that the body is far better informed and wiser than any of us. Helping the body heal itself makes complete sense.
