Avatar and Homeopathy

I saw the actress Michelle Rodriguez, the courageous pilot in the movie AVATAR and heroine of the show LOST, saying on the Jay Leno show that the worst thing in the filming in Hawaii were that the allergies were constant and besides that she was allergic to everything on that island.

She also said that the problem was solved by going to a homeopathic allergist, who freed her from all her afflictions! In her own words, she says, that she’s now  a strong follower of this type of alternative medicine.

I loved watching it! I also firmly believe in the power of homeopathy, since my three year old daughter was cured of asthmatic bronchitis with this type of medication. Today she is 29 years old and has never suffered from this problem since.

If you do not have a homeopathic doctor nearby, consult a good book on the subject. But write down your symptoms beforehand and look up in the book which remedies are specifically helpful.

For example, if your allergies make you dizzy with violent sneezing that gets worse in damp weather, perhaps you should use “Yellow Jasmine”, since this flower that produces the same symptoms.

There are roughly 400 different homeopathic remedies. Choosing the right one depends on the level of treatment you need, whether it’s acute, chronic or in the middle of these two.

The principles of homeopathy are very similar to immunotherapy, but are easier and much cheaper. (On average $5 to $15 for something that lasts you a month).

If you try it by yourself through books and it doesn’t work very well for you, you should go to a certified homeopathic doctor. He’ll do a good consultation and create a formula that fits your situation. This I did in Sao Paulo with Julia.

Very important: chronic allergies do not disappear immediately and the longer you wait with this type of problem, the longer it will take you to get rid of it.

Another thing is also very important: children respond very quickly to treatment, whereas adults may need some changes in lifestyle. For example: if you are a smoker, do not sleep much, are very stressed, use several allopathic drugs together or take other drugs. This disrupts but does not prevent your symptoms to improve.

As in the World Cup: the final goal is to help your body heal itself, and homeopathy is one way to do it.

I like the book on the subject: “The Complete Homeopathic Resource for Common Illnesses” by Dennis Chernin MD.
