Heartburn Meds Can Kill – 50% increased risk of death

Millions of people are prescribed proton pump inhibitors (PPI’s) to treat heartburn and other gastrointestinal problems. H2 blockers are another drug used to reduce stomach acid. Researchers compared patients taking H2 blockers with those taking PPIs for one to two years, and found that those on PPIs had a 50% increased risk of dying over the next five years. Senior author Ziyad Al-Aly, MD, an assistant professor of medicine stated: “No matter how we sliced and diced the data from this large data set, we saw the same thing.”

3 Tips from Elizabeth Wright Hubbard MD

Magnesium

If Sulphur is the great unwashed, Magnesia carb is the great unloved, the illegitimate child. The child needing magnesium lacks creativity. Magnesia carb is to exhausted nerves, what China is to loss of blood.  A magnesium deficiency in the diet is said to favor cancer.

Plumbum

Plumbum is one of the greatest remedies for hiccup and the remedy for aluminum poisoning (as Alumina is for Lead poisoning. )

Strontium Carbonicum

The predominant characteristic of Strontium Carbonicum is vehemence. The subject is impetuous, violent, passionate, quarrelsome and anxious.  An emaciated patient with right sided complaints. Chilly, < draft and > from sun and warmth.  The remedy lowers blood pressure and decalcifies aneurysm. It helps avert post operative pneumonia.

Valvular Disease

Dr. John H. Clarke describes a case of extensive valvular disease in a man of 26.  Originally all heart sounds were abnormal and replaced by bruits, with the heart hypertrophied. After treatment with Arsencum iodatum 3x, he was free from any symptoms relating to the heart.

Phosphorus in Dengue

I had many successes with Phosphorus in the crisis of low platelet counts after dengue fever. Phos works as a specific in this pathology through a symptomatology of Phos : “Copious bleeding even from very small wounds.” (Clarke) This indicates the deficiency of platelet cells which is a barrier to arrest the bleeding by coagulation.Kindly communicate  this to all our homeopathic  doctors. I used L.M Potency Phos  0/1 for three days, 3 times a day.

3 Tips from Dr. JHG Jahr

Aneurysm of the Heart

If not progressed too far, Ars and Carbo veg do more than any other medicine and Spigelia also shows good effect in some cases.

Thickening Valves

For thickening of heart valves, Spigelia and Kalmia are very efficient remedies.

Expulsion of Placenta

If expulsion of the placenta is delayed from absence of necessary pains, Pulsatilla or Secale promotes this event.

Murder by Vaccine

Regarding a Hexavalent vaccine by GlaxoSmithKline that is being mandated in Italy, Dr. Andrew Wakefield said:

This act, this administration of this vaccine will kill a number of children. They know that, and yet they are mandating it. That, in my opinion is murder.

Keynotes of 4 Remedies  – William H. Burt MD

Ammonium Carbonicum

Lymphatic, flabby people, suffering with sub-acute and chronic diseases of the respiratory mucous membrane, or scurvy.  Vast hemorrhages from the nose. The moment he falls asleep, is aroused again for want of breath. Aggravation evening, night, and wet weather.

Croton Tiglium

Diarrhoea, stools copious, watery, and escape from the bowels suddenly, as if shot out of a gun, with much prostration. Aabdomen much distended with gas, and painful on pressure. Flatulence, great gurgling and colic pains about the umbilicus.

Sabal Serrulata 

Atrophy of the prostate. It has a wonderful action to stimulate and restore the natural functions of the organ. In old men with enlarged prostate, where the urinary function is greatly interfered with, no remedy can take its place. It should be given in large doses of the tincture, one teaspoonful at a dose.

Hamamelis Virginica

Varicosis  – This is the prince of remedies, used locally and internally, when great tenderness predominates. Varicose veins of limbs, with great tenderness; cannot bear that they be touched. In acute phlebitis, of great utility.

William H. Burt, M. DCharacteristic Materia Medica Memorizer1895


Vaccine Court

The Vaccine Court (US) has awarded over 3.6 billion dollars for vaccine injuries. This represents only a tiny fraction of vaccine injuries that have occurred.  Autism rates have gone from one in ten thousand children to one in fifty children since the dramatic increase in scheduled vaccines started in the late 1980s.

Some Tips from the Indian Homeopathic Review

Hiccough in the old or very weak is often relieved by Magnesia Phos. 6x.

When an otherwise normal person becomes cross, spiteful, snappy and generally hateful, give a dose of Chamomilla. This has been repeatedly verified in young children and infants, but it applies to adults as well.

A typical neurasthenic is often benefited by a course of Calcarea Carb.

When you have “ a cold in the head” that is better in the open air and worse indoors try Allium Cepa.

Where there is a yellow, acrid discharge from the eyes, Euphrasia may be the needed remedy.
