Homeopathy is a form of holistic medicine developed in Germany over 200 years ago where remedies are selected based on the entire person rather than the disease or damaged portion. Remedies are prepared using the “like cures like” principle which is also used in the world of vaccines. A remedy provides a tiny bit of a substance that creates the symptoms/feelings that a person is currently experiencing in order to assist the body to recognize and heal or otherwise address the problem from the inside out.
In traditional medicine, if you need a medicine to work more, you give a higher dose. In functional medicine, it is understood that the size of the dose alone is not what determines if it works – it needs to match all the needs of the patient. In homeopathy, this idea is taken one step further. Homeopathic remedies are prepared through a process called succussion and dilution. The healing plant matter is diluted into a solution and then shaken vigorously until the plant matter is fully dissolved and energetically activated from the shaking. To make a stronger homeopathic medicine, this same solution is then further diluted and shaken again. No additional plant material is added, just more liquid and more vigorous agitation. In this way, the full potential of the medicinal plant is maximized and the harmful side effects is diminished. When you use a homeopathic remedy, you are receiving the smallest amount of medicinal plant material that works in the most optimal energetic way possible for your healing needs. Homeopathic remedies can be quite strong and effective and yet are safe for children, the elderly, and those with chronic illness.
If you meet with a Homeopathic Practitioner, you will go through a battery of questions designed to help them determine the one perfect remedy for you. If you are dealing with an acute issue, the goal is often to stop the illness/disease from progressing and to help you return to a state of good health faster than on your own. If you are dealing with chronic illness or body situation, the goal is always to bring you closer and closer to a state of full healing but it will take time.
Homeopathic remedies are often used without the deep dive into your health status and history by a specially trained Homeopathic Practitioner. Goodness – you can even buy them at health food and grocery stores! I have developed a strong trust and confidence in the homeopathic remedies created by the German company PEKANA Naturheimittel and by Dr. Donald Dennis at MicroBalance Health Products. My family has used these products to heal from toxic mold, mercury fillings, low thyroid function, and a general return to optimal health.
The PEKANA remedies combine up to 8 different medicinal plants in order to provide a broad spectrum healing remedy usable by most individuals. PEKANA remedies address the symptoms you are experiencing while also supporting the cleansing and regeneration needed to heal yourself. PEKANA remedies are safe but incredibly effective and well tested in Europe.
Dr Donald Dennis is an experienced Ear, Nose, and Throat doctor who worked with a compounding pharmacy to develop homeopathic remedies that would help his patients heal their nasal passages, sinuses, and brains from mold toxicity. These products are available (through me!) from his company MicroBalance Health Products.

- Luffa operculata stimulates the epithelial layer of your mucus membranes to produce more mucus in the nasal passages and sinuses.
- Lycopodium clavatum helps eliminate metabolic waste products and stimulates the excretion of excess cholesterol. Without proper excretion of waste products, patients can develop symptoms that include a strong desire to consume excessive amounts of sweets. This craving, often accompanied by mood swings, irritability and depression, points to psychosomatic processes in which the body attempts to compensate by feeding the intestines sugar. Lycopodium clavatum eliminates both the physical and psychological basis for this craving relieving associated digestive problems. It also treats hyper-intoxification with autotoxins that result from incomplete protein metabolism and can cause moodiness and irritability.
- Magnesium carbonicum plays a vital regulation role by activating enzymes and immune system function, supporting cardiac activity and acting as a catalyst in metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and fats. Importantly, it also helps reduce psychic restlessness, as well as pains and infections in all parts of the body.
- Magnesium chloratum functions as an anti-aging metal by preventing connective tis- sue degeneration. It also stimulates the activity of approximately 300 enzymes, many of which play an important role in regulating somatic processes. Lack of magnesium can lead to headaches, fainting, excitability, hyperstimulation of the central nervous system and vasospasm.
- Mandragora e radice siccato addresses digestive upset, disruption of proper stomach and liver function and pancreatic weakness accompanied by strong flatulence (in the case of spastic constipation).
- Manganum aceticum activates a series of enzymes. Although no specific symptoms are associated with a deficit of this metal in humans, it accompanies iron therapy in eliminat- ing anemia, low levels of blood sugar, disruptions in liver and spleen function and menstruation irregularities. Lack of this mineral may play a key role in the onset of depression and disequilibrium (imbalance), Parkinson’s disease and Multiple sclerosis.

Derived from the bark of a West African tree, this substance also treats acute gastrointestinal tract infections, including those accompanied by diarrhea caused by contaminated food. Okoubaka also helps patients deal with chronic infestations by Candida albicans or Mucor racemosus, both of which can rapidly multiply and cause acute infections. These pathogens may also be present without any obvious symptoms except debilitating weakness found in patients with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
- Panax ginseng (Ginseng) addresses symptoms of general nervous exhaustion combined with physical weakness. It produces a pleasant, gentle balancing effect, and is not a severe stimulant.
- Peumus boldus (Boldo), which acts as a powerful stimulant for the gallbladder, also functions as a diuretic to relieve congestive heart and circulatory system blockages. This medication promotes stomach secretion and elimination of urea, and secondarily helps treat dyspepsia and hepatogenic gastritis that affect the heart.
- Phosphorus helps treat diseases of the stomach and intestinal tract, ranging from bleeding ulcers (Ulcera ventriculi, Ulcera duodeni) to acute liver dysfunction with accompanying spasms. Depression and other psychosomatic symptoms, as well as painful headaches, are also addressed. In addition, Phosphorus can effectively heal infections found throughout the body, including the eyes, respiratory tract, heart and intestinal tract, as well as treat degenerative changes in the bone structures.
- Pilocarpus microphyllus is indicated for treatment of hot flashes during menopause. This herb increases the kidneys’ excretion abilities, resolving the need for the patient to eliminate toxins via other mechanisms such as night sweats or profuse perspiration during the day.

- Semecarpus anacardium treats nervous exhaustion due to mental strain and combats stabbing pains in the head, eye pressure and ringing or humming sounds in the ears. It treats the inability to perform mental work combined with irritation, lack of concentration, fear of the future and failure, exhaustion and memory weakness.
- Silicea is essential to build the connective tissue in young people. In fact, silicic acid is as important to the body’s supportive tissues as iron is to the creation of blood. This mineral boosts the immune system, stimulates phagocyte activity, improves liver, spleen and pancreatic function, prevents kidney stones and helps treat pus-containing wounds that are slow to heal. Silicea is also necessary for the regeneration of healthy hair and nails, and for proper functioning of the digestive system.
- Sinapis niagra to encourage mucus flow to wash out the nose.

- Taraxacum officinale cleans the liver and renal system. This bitter tasting plant also addresses afflictions of the gallbladder, and stimulates the gastrointestinal tract, pancreas and liver to overcome impairment caused by illnesses such as rheumatism or arthritis.
- Thlaspi bursa-pastoris helps treat metabolic insufficiency reflected by the build-up of stones in the kidneys and gallbladder. The strong stimulative effect provided by this herb can even make catheter use unnecessary.
- Vincetoxicum hirundinaria specifically treats viral infections. It boosts the immune response so that the body can eliminate pathogens, including fungi, that take advantage of a sufficient change in the pH balance to reproduce and become more virulent.
- Viscum album is indicated for treatment of rheumatic spasms. This substance treats vessels and congestive developments throughout the entire body. It also is indicated for treatment of acute and chronic conditions involving tearing, pulling pain, inflammation and irritation of the nerves, such as torticollis and intervertebral disk damage with anomalies in warmth regulation.
- Zincum phosphoricum is a vital trace element required for proper functioning of red blood cells, bones, eyes and the islet-cells of the pancreas. A lack of zinc is especially evident in diabetes, liver disease and development of various forms of cancer. In addition, zinc — which activates specific enzymes — plays an important role in healing tissues, eliminating toxins and treating exhaustion, nasal infections, varicosities and cramps.
