Emergencies are the conditions which people are most afraid of and
the least prepared for. Being prepared with a little knowlege of
homeopathic remedies can prevent a worse problem from developing in an
emergency and even cure the problem. This is a wonderful power in the
realm of self healing.

There are many acute disorders and emergency situations. Some are
caused by an illness or accident, others are caused by man-made
toxins, and still others are caused by conventional medical drugs and
procedures.

It’s very healthy to avoid medical drugs and procedures whenever
possible because they tend to cause what they call
“side-effects.” These are actually iatrogenic disorders,
disorders caused by the medical treatment itself. Sometimes these are
impossible to avoid because one finds oneself in a situation where the
benefits of modern medicine or surgery are needed. But, too many
patients are conditioned to believe that drugs and knives are the only
recourse because the authority-figure Doctor says so. Whatever the
case, there are homeopathic remedies that will either prevent the need
for “drugs and knives” or cure the problems they cause.

Being self-sufficient in dealing with acute disorders that
are not life threatening is very possible if you pay careful
attention. I will give you the homeopathic information to do this.
But please understand that for chronic health problems, one
needs to consult a true classical homeopath. You may also prefer to
consult with a homeopath for your acute problems. You can contact me
for treatment of all these problems.

The recommended potencies are listed for each indicated homeopathic
remedy. The dosing per day is dependent upon the individuals symptoms
and responses. See Homeopathic Guidelines for more on this.
