Today we are honored to have with us the
most decorated homeopath in Pittsburgh, USA-- Dr. Cindee Gardner!
Have a seat, Cindee, while I recount your many exploits: You have
a Diploma in Homeopathy from my alma mater, the Hahnemann Academy
of North America; you have a Certification in Homeopathy; you have
a Doctorate--oh, make that two Doctorates, I'm sorry, I'm losing
track already! Cindee, I know there's a story behind this: you were
trying to find a cure for your vaccine-damaged child. It sounds
fascinating and yet frightening as well, can you share this story
with us?
To begin with, I actually became interested in Homeopathy after
meeting a retired physician from Shadyside Hospital in Pittsburgh
in 1972. He was speaking to a homeopathic study group on Biochemisty
and Homeopathic Tissue Salts. I was fascinated watching one person
after another telling heart felt stories of how these tiny pellets
knocked out one ailment after another, especailly the "incurable"
ones.
Over time, I learned from many great Homeopathic educators and
practitioners. I became more involved in teaching local groups and
educating others that they had choices to the conventional system
of medicine. The quantum physics of dynamized medicine and the memory
of water molecules exemplified in Hahnemann's Organon of Medicine
was my favorite topic of discussion!
You could say I was on a "Homeopathic Theory Honeymoon"
until my daughter became very ill and was not responding to the
Homeopathics that were implicated by all the books! The medical
system gave me the diagnosis of Down Syndrome. Two of the top Neurologists
at the local children's hospital confirmed a serious neurological
disorder. I ran to the most popular Homeopaths, Chiropractors, and
Osteopaths for help and none of the therapies seemed to make any
changes in her condition!
In despiration, I ordered every book, tape and journal on Homeopathy.
I took every course and attended every conference possible to learn
chronic prescribing. In one of Robin Murphy's seminars, he brought
a guest speaker, Neil Miller (author of "Vaccines, Are They
Really Safe and Effective?").
As he spoke about the typical symptoms of vaccine damage, I realized
that it was shortly after the DPT vaccine that my daughter started
exhibiting the signs of vaccine damage. I was both furious and elated
at the same time. Until then, the vaccine issue was very radical
and hush hush.
It was then that I went on a personal mission to master Homeopathy.
I studied under every school, every great healer and every teacher
who had success in that area of Homeopathy. I treated my daughter
with the knowledge of many great minds and borrowed their tactics
of success. If you are interested in learning her symptoms and story,
you can go to www.thinktwice.com website. I can tell you that understanding
the eitiology, treating the whole person, understanding the pathology,
taking her symptoms, and knowing what to expect in the healing process,
helped my daughter to recover, and to blossom into a beautiful healthy
young adult.
Today, she is in 11th grade, fully recovered, and rarely gets even
a cold!
I've worked with thousands since my beginnings in Homeopathy. I
don't advertise, but the people that I have worked with shared their
stories and brought others over the years, three generations in
some families. Homeopathy truly knows no boundaries. I have clients
in Nicaragua, Japan, London, Hawaii, Israel, all over the globe,
reatives of relatives, friends of friends..I actually have more
people that do internet consults than office appointments, sending
videos and e-photos.
I love doing Homeopathy more today than ever before.
Two questions: 1) Was there any indication
after the DPT shot that your child had been damaged? In other words,
knowing what you know now, was your daughter exhibiting a distinct
remedy picture, as we say in homeopathy, after the vaccination?
How long did it take for such an image to show up?
In the days after the vaccine, Shana had what most people think
is normal: a high fever. The Doctors asked me to give her Tylenol.
Within the week, she stopped digesting her food, became constipated,
nursed for a few minutes, coughed and choked, stopped sleeping for
more than 20 minutes at a time. Within months, she stopped growing,
lost eye contact during feeding, arched her back, screaming, and
developed strange expressions on her face. For the period of nine
months, she didn't grow an inch, had to have all stools pulled from
her physically.
I went through the common remedies: Calc carb, baryta Carb, Cuprum,
Merc. etc.
The remedies seemed to help a little here and there but no major
changes.
Today vaccines are questioned, back then, no one even thought it
could have been a vaccine that caused it. They thought she had a
cold, that I was eating something she was allergic to, whooping
cough, you name it. One diagnosis after another, and one remedy
after another with not much success.
After I figured out the timing, it all clicked with the seminar
about vaccines. Then I used the remedies for vaccination damage,
and she started to respond as if overnight! I still had no idea
of how much damage was done until she started school and was behind
on everything, psychological, growth, visual, reading, etc. I discovered
she was blind in her left eye and had 240 vision in the right eye.
Today, she still is blind in the left eye, but the right eye recovered
to 30. She is now driving, and has no glasses!
We have a long, heated thread here at our
hpathy discussion forum on Vaccinations. Not only are vaccinations
staunchly defended by "regular" people but by many homeopaths
as well! People really believe that this is modern medicine's finest
hour! People believe that the reason we don't have smallpox and
diphtheria and polio anymore is because of vaccines. They don't
deny that proper sanitation plays a role, but they insist that without
the vaccination program we'd be awash in polio, whooping cough and
all kinds of dread diseases, and that people like you and I pose
a threat in that if everyone believed us, all these diseases would
come roaring back in full throttle. Do you have a reply to such
thinking?
I tell parents to read two books and then come back to me for a
discussion: Neil Miller's book, Vaccines: Are They Really Safe
and Effective and Harris Coulter's A Shot In The Dark.
The key is that we should never blindly do anything routine without
educating ourselves. I respect each parent's feelings about the
issue if they weigh the choices and are aware of the damage and
side effects. I was very surprised to see the charts of how the
epidemics were on their way out by the time the vaccines were produced.
I was also shocked to see the ingredients in the vaccines! Some
of my clients may choose some and not do others.
There is no science to the way anyone gives vaccines. In other
countries like Japan, they never give a vaccine until the child
is two years old. We are shoving poisons in our children before
they are a day old. I could go on and on but I want to stress that
people need to drop the theories they were taught and do some reading
on both sides of the issue before arguing the point.
One thing Homeopaths understand is that although we treat a particular
illness in a person, we don't use the same remedy on everyone. How
can anyone justify that each person will react the same way to a
stimulus, especially a poison stimulus? Also, we should not do anything
out of fear but out of knowledge.
