INTRODUCTION

The idea of this book came together after of week of non-stop calls, texts and e-mails from clients. We had recently had a dramatic change in weather in Southern California that went from winter rain, high winds and cold temperatures, to an abrupt shift to 85-90 degree days! The communications from clients looking for relief from cold/flu symptoms, allergies, sinus infections, etc. was not a surprise. Many people are unable to handle dramatic changes in temperature and barometric pressure, especially children and the elderly.

I have been a Homeopath for over twenty-five years and have always encouraged clients to purchase a Homeopathic kit (See Chapter VIII, What’s in Your Home Pharmacy?), so that they are armed with the important medicines they need at a moments’ notice. I have also encouraged purchasing a Homeopathic Guide that clearly spells out symptoms so they can choose a proper remedy as needed. For whatever reason, they continued to resist the idea. So here I am, maybe if I actually wrote it down, spelling out the conditions they so often called about, they would purchase the information and have a familiar source of reference.

After taking a survey, I discovered that many do not like to read (in this day and age of 280 characters). They also felt intimidated sorting out symptoms in the way most Homeopathic books are written. Lastly I was even told by those who did buy a remedy guide that they couldn’t find it when they needed it. That’s when I knew I needed to put the information at their finger-tips in a simple, easy to follow manner, and on-line. This publication can now be at anyone’s finger tips in your phone or e-reader and available at a moments’ notice.

ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE FOR ALLERGIES, COLDS & FLU encapsulates solutions to illnesses and health concerns most often asked on a daily basis. Do you:

Catch cold easily?

Suffer from sore throats?

Chronic sinus infections?

Have a child with reoccurring ear infections?

Know the difference between a cold and an allergy attack?

Know when reoccurring cough is a sign of unresolved infection?

Know when it is OK to support a fever and when to jump into action?

This book will guide you through minor illnesses that can be resolved in short order when you are armed with the correct information and have a home pharmacy equipped with the necessities to get the job done.

Anti-biotics used to be the greatest thing since sliced bread (and now we know sliced bread isn’t so good for you either!). The conventional medical community is realizing that every time you use an anti-biotic and it kills off the ‘bad’ bacteria, it is not such a great idea to be killing off the ‘good’ bacteria. (Anti-biotics are non-discriminatory.) I know that scenario first hand. I was given multiple rounds of anti-biotics as a child for chronic tonsillitis and then for teenage acne. It compromised my health tremendously and has been a life-long battle to correct.

Anti-biotics are only one of the many drugs compromising health in the 21st century of ‘modern’ medicine. Be kind to yourself and your loved ones by putting a little time into learning another way. You will be proud of yourself when your child’s fever comes down quickly in the middle of the night, when you’ve settled down a nagging cough, or when that crying child can stop tugging on his ear by the use of a homeopathic remedy.

This book covers general practices. If you are looking for more in-depth information to each of the conditions listed here you can resource my expanded volume, THE ALTERNATIVE, Your Family’s Guide to Wellness, Vol I First-Aid & Common Conditions.

Congratulations for your interest in helping yourself and others to be as healthy as possible.

A great deal of sickness is due to thoughtlessness, and the antidote is thoughtfulness.

CHAPTER I

WHAT IS ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE

Alternative Medicine, Holistic Medicine, Complimentary Medicine and Natural Medicine all refer to the same category. They are systems of health care that dispense medicines derived from natural substances, such as plants, animals and minerals; rather than chemically compounded drugs. Alternative medicine therapies also treat the person, not disease. Taking that a step further, it treats the whole person, inclusive of one’s mental, emotional and physical state.

Why do we need ‘natural’ medicines in the 21st century with advances in modern pharmaceutical drugs? The answer brings us directly to the primary differences between the two.

We are carbon based beings and need carbon molecular structures to heal properly.

Natural substances affect the vital force (energetic field) of the body, as well as the physical structure.

Substances from nature do not
