Homeopathy: Healing naturally
Amanda Smith
Doris Prince, mother of nine, grandmother of 23, has practiced homeopathy regularly for her family since her and her husband made the economic decision to drop their health insurance.
Since then, raw foods, herbal medicines and energy work have been the saving grace for their large family.
Prince and her family rarely see a doctor for anything, and she claims she’s seen improvements using natural remedies versus buying expensive medications.
A year ago, one of her grandchildren, Grant Owen, had a scalp condition called “cradle cap” for months. “It was a mess,” Leah Owen said.
On another occasion, her brother-in-law, Robert Prince, injured his knee and a contusion formed on it that started showing signs of infection.
Weeks later, he went to Doris for help.
Her homeopathic methods cured both of these conditions.
One of her daughters that has been diagnosed with Bipolar Affective Disorder says “it helps me to feel centered and it takes away stress.”
Peter Conden, program director of Agribusiness and Urban Horticulture at MCC, believes in using many natural remedies such as Arnica Montana for muscle soreness and melatonin for insomnia.
“However,” he says, “I believe in moderation and common sense when it comes to all things in life.”
“The FDA helps protect pharmacies. The main idea is ‘how can we make more money’. People are being weakened because of the chemicals in foods and in a pill … doing things in the most natural way possible is the best way that will keep us healthy and feeling good.”
