Before I begin, let me make two things perfectly clear:
- I AM NOT A DOCTOR. I have never been a doctor. I don’t want to be a doctor.
- Nothing here is medical advice…BUT, it might be advice for the medical doctors! Is that considered medical advice? Hmm, that’s something to think about…
Several weeks ago, a friend of mine contacted me. Her son had been injured in a baseball game and fractured his thumb, and she needed help choosing the correct homeopathic remedies to help aid her son’s healing.
After an emergency room visit, x-rays, and a brace, they still had to wait a whole week for a pediatric orthopedic appointment. The appointment was to make sure it didn’t need to be set, which it didn’t. All that time and no doctor was really addressing or supporting the actual healing of this injury. The best they could offer were over the counter pain killers. These might mask the pain, but they do nothing to support the healing of the bone itself.
But…I’m not a doctor.
Certainly, we need an x-rays to know if there even is a break. And, certainly we need to be sure a fracture is set properly. And, yes, casts, braces and splints all help reduce mobility so as not to create any further injury. These are all important and necessary sometimes even when employing the use of homeopathy. Thankfully, this mama knew to use homeopathy and did in fact give him some premiere injury remedies such as Arnica montana and Ferrum phosphorica! At this point, we now needed to work on the bone healing.
But…I’m not a doctor.
The combination we decided on together was Symphytum officinale 200c mixed with Calcarea phosphorica 3x twice daily. She was able to dose her son as soon as she knew his thumb was set properly. (*This is VERY important to note! This remedy combination is so effective that you would want to wait to use it ONLY AFTER the fracture is set to ensure it doesn’t heal improperly.*) Just 3 weeks later, they visited the orthopedic pediatrician and guess what? Completely healed. Solid bone. “Even the doctor was surprised it healed this fast!” my friend said. At the initial appointment, the doctor had not sounded optimistic that it would even be fully healed in 8 weeks, let alone 4! This young boy was cleared to resume all physical activities including gym class and his beloved baseball 4 weeks earlier than expected!
But…I’m not a doctor.
No, I’m just a mom who uses homeopathy. Yet, I might “encourage” a person in the medical field to consider learning about homeopathy! I think some doctors might just find it quite helpful! Just think of all the patients you would gain if they healed in half the expected time! I wonder what would happen if someone told the doctors about Symphytum officinale for example. This is a beautiful remedy which expedites the union of broken bones. It has a specific affinity for the periosteum and soft tissue making it a wonderful choice to help heal and manage the pain which arises from a fractured bone. The cell salt Calc Phos (Calcarea Phosphorica), promotes cell growth, builds strength in both young and old, and helps to support healthy bone growth. Mixing these two powerhouses together creates a beautiful, healing tonic for the bones. What a glorious, miraculous, healing gift homeopathy is to us! To cut healing time in half! To surprise even the most educated and experience among us! How can we keep it to ourselves???
“But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are.” 1 Corinthians 1:27-28 ESV
Many people think homeopathy is foolish, weak, and some even despise it and believe it’s a placebo. Yet this story is not the only one I have of a medical professional being pleasantly surprised by the effectiveness of these little “sugar pills.” (I’ll save that story for another blog!) Did you know homeopathy is the second most utilized medicine worldwide? What’s the first you ask? Not modern, conventional medicine if that is what you guessed. No, the first is Chinese medicine, while conventional medicine is the third most widely used.
I’ve said over and over that I’m not surprised when I hear homeopathic success stories. I know it works, I’ve seen it work time and time again! But, I am constantly amazed at its effectiveness, and I am always excited to share it with others. I’m also not at all surprised, that the Lord, in His goodness, mercy and utter creativity has given us homeopathy. However, I am CONSTANTLY in awe of His goodness, His mercy, and His loving kindness to send us His Son Jesus Christ, to die on the cross for our sins, so that we could live forever with Him as our King. And, that’s what I’m most excited to share with the world!
Because you see…
HE is THE Doctor.
The Good Doctor.
The Great Physician of our bodies, minds and souls!
He is the King of Kings!
