waking eight or more times each night.

As a chiropractic physician with a background in neurology andnutrition, I understood that my child was having a health crisis that hispediatrician did not want to acknowledge; moreover she wascompletely ill equipped to deal with. This sent to me on a circuitousjourney through several New England states, where I was fortunate tofind an MD Homeopath who “got it” (Homeopathy was unavailable inMaine at that time).

Witnessing my childs' return to health inspired me to studyHomeopathy, and to let other people know there actually are drug-freesolutions to serious health problems and people called Homeopathswho truly take time, find the underlying causes of illness, and curethem. I hope you’re inspired to read on, and know more... Enjoy! Dr. Wendy Pollock, DC, CCH

A Condensed History of Homeopathy

Update on Homeopathy in Maine

As the FDA continues its investigation into the efficacy of homeopathy,looming on the horizon is the issue of Americans continuing ability topurchase over the counter remedies.

To address these issues, Maine Homeopathic Initiatives & the MaineAssociation of Homeopaths have endorsed passing Health Freedomlegislation in Maine that allows the public personal choice in the formof healthcare methodology they desire.

Just One Drop tells the little known story of homeopathy: the most controversial system of medicineever invented. Could this be nature's most potent medicine? Homeopathy is a specific form ofmedicine that uses minute doses of a highly diluted substance that stimulates the body to cure itself.To many, homeopathy seems implausible. They fear it is purely a placebo effect or worse, a form ofdeception or quackery. Yet, homeopathy has been around for over 200 years and is used by millionsworldwide. The film explores the controversy, dispels myths and misconceptions, and asks whetheror not homeopathy has been given a fair shake. The film's ultimately message is about freedom ofchoice in healthcare.

Homeopathy, and other traditional medical therapies,is just bad business. They make patients better, so

they are no longer a source of income!

"..... it is estimated that about one out of every four Americans overthe age of 55 are currently being prescribed cholesterol-lowering statin

drugs, in spite of the evidence that these drugs do not prolonglifespans, and have very serious side effects. Studies have confirmedthat dementia, especially early onset dementia, is often caused by toomany pharmaceutical drugs."

The article goes on to outline the long list of drugs known to causedementia (also outlined here), the strategy of expanding prescribingguidelines to get more healthy people on drugs like Statins, and drugsto lower blood pressure, and the side effects (that is, illness) theycause as a result. The outcome of taking drugs are serious andinevitable.

It is the adverse drug reactions, which I call DIE's (or Disease-Inducing-Effects), that have caused the epidemic levels of chronicdisease, of all kinds, that we have been experiencing for decades. Theconclusion is clear. Conventional medicine is an illness service, not ahealth service.

Patients do always have a choice of medical therapy, and it isimportant that people who are sick, and those who are well, beginto exercise this choice. Their health depends upon it. Read more...

Why You Should Stop Being So Hard on Yourself

“We’re all our own worst critics.” Ever heard that one before?

Yes, it’s an obnoxious cliché, but it’s not just self-help fluff.Evolutionary psychologists have studied our natural “negativity bias,”which is that instinct in us all that makes negative experiences seemmore significant than they really are.

3 Steps to Self-Compassion

Step One: Make the choice that you’ll at least try a new approach tothinking about yourself. Step Two to Self-Compassion is to meet your criticism with kindness. Step Three: Make a deliberate, conscious effort to recognize thedifference between how you feel when caught up in self-criticism, andhow you feel when you let go of it. Read more...
