Elderly Falls Linked to Vitamin Deficiency/COMMENT

[Guest guest]

Hi V...

 

This is why I enjoy homeopathy so much... Just dumping more of a

chemical/nutrient/given substance into the body does not address why

that nutrient/hormone/enzyme/secretion is not being produced as it

should be by the body... Sometimes, like scurvy, more vitamin c is

needed, plain and simple- supply and demand. But in your case, and

many others such as osteoporosis,etc.- rarely is it ever looked at

as to why that nutrient/substance is not being assimilated,

produced, or utilized properly in the body... The body is more than

a bag of chemicals, and we should have learned from the fiasco of

HRT that healing in the vast majority of cases is not as simple as

just playing chemist and dumping more chemicals, and alas, excessive

nutrients into the body.

 

Homeopathy, because it is a vital remedy, energetic in nature,

actually works to give the body the information it needs in order

for the body's inherent wisdom to correct and rebalance the

processes behind the disease. Repairing the hole in the dam, rather

than adding more water to the water escaping from the dam...

 

Be Well,

Misty L. Trepke
