Homeopathy has been a way of life for me for 30 years. After
endless visits to hospitals in my teens and early twenties with stomach aches I
looked like a little stick insect weighing not much more than 6 stone!
I remember gingerly asking a bowel specialist if what I was
eating could be causing my stomach aches. He looked at me with a scowl for
daring to question him and told me to not be so ridiculous. “Of course food
doesn’t affect your stomach, don’t be so foolish!” he was one of the country’s
top stomach and bowel specialists at the time!
Doctors have come on a little since then, it sounds like the
dark ages not the 1980’s. Whilst in hospital for the umpteenth time and
deciding that the hospital food of cauliflower cheese and pasta was making me
worse, I discharged myself and decided that ‘there must be another way.’
As I was making my way out of the hospital almost on my hands
and knees with pain, a patient opposite in the ward gave me a card for a
homeopath. I didn’t even know what it meant but I went along, desperate for
help.
The homeopath took one look at me and said “this is classic
intolerance to dairy and wheat stop eating them now” I did and my stomach
stopped aching after a few days. Along with homeopathy he helped me back to
health and I am eternally grateful for his guidance and love, after being
written off by the doctors as it “all being in my head.”
This was the start of my journey into complimentary health
and I am passionate about sharing helpful information with anyone who is ready
to listen. Usually it takes an illness or a shock or bereavement before we are
ready to start to question the status quo, but once we do, as all of you
therapists know, a whole magical world opens up before our eyes.
