Cholesterol is not as ‘bad’ as it is being increasingly highlighted in certain quarters. The best thing to do is not ‘stifle’ one’s cholesterol levels, with superfluous bravado, but aim at the underlying trigger — the likely cause of your cholesterol ‘upsurge’ — as homeopathy does… to restoring optimal health and well-being.
You are taking good care of your heart health. That’s great. You are avoiding saturated fats and keeping your blood cholesterol levels low. You are happy and so is everyone else in the family — because, this is the key to good health and preventing heart disease.
If you are a vegetarian eating low-fat food and keeping dairy products at a distance, you are doing the best thing possible. Or, you don’t eat more than a few eggs, and you’ve kept red meat off your menu. Or, if you are taking prescription cholesterol-lowering drugs, you’d sure be feeling on top of the world. Put simply, you are convinced that you’re taking appropriate care of your heart health.
You may be wrong. Because, you would be amazed to learn that your key factors, or pointers, to good heart health are ‘flawed’ beliefs.
A growing body of research, today, evidences that the cholesterol-heart disease premise is more than questionable. In other words, the idea that high cholesterol is a fundamental risk factor for heart disease may be more than ‘orchestrated’ hard-sell.
THE CHOLESTEROL PARADOX
The argument — there is no ‘rock-hard’ evidence that high cholesterol alone plays a role in heart disease, forget about the long history of the ‘cholesterol danger’ hypothesis. The fact is — saturated fats and cholesterol are, in point of fact, essential for good health and maintaining strong immune defence. However, while it is agreed that a consistently high level of low-density lipoproteins [LDL], or ‘bad’ cholesterol in the blood, is suggestive of an underlying health problem, what needs to be emphasised is that one should always address the ‘root cause’ of any given, or not given, illness, instead of keeping one’s blood cholesterol levels awfully low.

Chronic Illness, Immunity & Homeopathy
We, homeopaths, were right in our opposition to the use of allopathic pharmaceutical medicine, at the ‘drop’ of a symptom. This is primarily because homeopathy, when seen from a health ecology/ microbiome/immunity/environmental perspective, makes fundamental biological sense. Its principles are universally applicable; they have also shown clinical evidence of efficacy, across a wide range of conditions and fields that include physical and mental health.

The Application Of The Law Of Similars In Homeopathic Clinical Practice
It is to be presumed that all homeopaths agree on the universal law of cure appertaining to the exclusive therapeutics of our healing art. Dr Samuel Hahnemann, MD, the founder of homeopathy, has fully explained, by logical arguments, to be found in the 53rd to 56th paragraphs of his Organon, that there can be no other possible law applied for the cure of the sick than the law of the similars.
Homeopathy Is Patient-Centric Medicine
Homeopathy is patient-centric, energy medicine. A medicine repeatedly taken by a healthy person causes symptoms; but, in a sick person with those symptoms, that remedy makes the symptoms disappear. In order to find the bespoke remedy, a homeopath gets at and to the essence, finding the most similar remedy.
The Hypersensitive Individual: Hope & Understanding Thro' Homeopathy
There is so much hoopla for hypersensitivity as a new condition. It has always existed. It was, in fact, Dr Samuel Hahnemann, MD, the father of homeopathy, who first formulated the concept and estimated that 10 per cent of his patients were hypersensitive. Well, the fact also is homeopathy, as always, looks out for the initial sensitive cause and treats the whole person. In so doing, it helps to resolve their sensitive disorder and establishes balance to their sensitivity so that the world becomes a friendlier place to live in.
Caulophyllum & Pregnancy
The homeopathic Caulophyllum is a beautiful remedy for women in their childbearing years... for certain conditions during pregnancy, labour, or after birth. In late pregnancy, it is useful for annoying contractions. In long-drawn-out labour, it is needed for extremely painful, ineffective contractions that do not ‘work.’
Ferrum Metallicum: The Red, Hot Homeopathic Remedy
The analysis of each homeopathic remedy is always fascinating as it reveals a myriad of characteristics associated not only with the substance, from which the remedy is derived, but also their historical, mythological and astronomical framework that many of them embody. Ferrum Metallicum is a good, also interesting, example in the context.
Homeopathy & Flu
Most homeopaths are taught that when a person develops an acute illness, such as flu, it could be an exacerbation of their chronic complaints. If this is, indeed, the case, chronic symptoms may persist during the acute illness, but with the cold, or flu, symptoms added on. What also often helps the patient is a repetition of their constitutional remedy.

Migraine & Homeopathy
Homeopathy should always be offered to migraine sufferers, because for most, if not all, individuals, the results can be incredible. What’s more, the most unrelenting of migraines often ease with homeopathic treatment too, resulting in far fewer migraine attacks of less severity and also shorter duration.
