Comments on This Story Could Save Your Life

I've had great results with comfrey, 1st as a poultice & now as a salve that i make.

I had a cocker named Tommy who LOVED to play ball, he may have been born with one in his mouth. He was a rescue so we didn't know his exact age, but when he was about 10 years old, he began to feel really yucky, and was not interested in his ball. I took him to one of our conventional vets, who did the labs and found that his kidneys were in serious trouble. I asked "what can we do", and that whitecoated, limited-thinking vet said, "bring him back when he is worse". I was stunned, but had another idea. We work with another homeopathic vet who I got an appointment with soon. He suggested 1 dose of 200C Belladonna, and sent it to me. (I live in a large metropolitan area, but know of nowhere to get homeopathic remedies, they all closed.) As soon as I recieved it, I gave it to Tommy. Twenty minutes later Tommy brought his ball to me so I could throw it. And he kept playing ball for 4 more years. Kidney disease eventually took his life, but we all had four more great years, of loving, playing ball and going for adventure walks.

We have seen other "miracles" with homeopathy. Another homeopathic vet treated another cocker, Jake, for 3 types of cancer over several years, and Jake was happy, healthy?, and playful, until a sneaky brain cancer took him from us. We LOVE homeopathy and could not do the rescue work that we do without it!

This was many years ago so my memory is a bit thin on the particulars. I had taken over care of my sisters cat as she was traveling. The cat had a damaged eye - a deep scratch in the cornea. We began by using drops that the western vet gave. He'd been on the drops for a week or more by the time he came under our care. When I took over I pulled my local homeopathic vet into the mix. She gave us several different remedies to try and nothing made much of a difference. The cat continued to not eat or drink, to lose weight, and to be in pain, evidenced by a closed eye and other behavior. One morning, a week or so in, we woke up and the cat had gone totally blind. He staggered around bumping into things. It was really a bottoming out and I saw no way to help. One more call to the homeopathic vet and she had an epiphany and told me to try China - for dehydration. As I remember it took 2 or 3 doses (a few hours) before the cat's sight came back. He began eating and drinking and began healing. I can't remember if we used other remedies after that and what they were but the China was the magic turn around. Within a few weeks the eye was healed and the cat was back to normal.

I always remember that obvious and immediate result when using homeopathy on my own animals. I've seen the absolute magic the right remedy can offer so it keeps me motivated to keep trying if we haven't gotten it right yet.

Have also had numerous positive experiences (quick healings) with painful abscesses and Silicia. They burst soon after the first dose and heal quickly.

I am taking PIVH’s Module 1 (Intro Course in Veterinary Homeopathy) and am blown away by the cases they’ve presented and how homeopathy has cured them! To be more accurate, a well chosen homeopathic remedy allowed the animals to cure themselves. Like you, Dr. Falconer, I’m ready to throw away my allopathic drugs, and just focus on homeopathic cures. Healing seems so miraculous! I just have to come out of retirement first.

My papillon Jazz, is not rabies protected according to Dr Dodds who did the titer. He is 2 & 1/2 yrs old, raw fed, excellent condition. I'm not wanting to give the vaccine! He will be my agility partner and I won't do him any harm. What should I do?

I love reading these stories and wish I could afford the homeopathic first aid home study course with homeopathic emergency kit and other goodies. But I'm on a fixed income since my retirement and just can't afford to do it. Brings me to my question: can you tell me a few of the remedies I could buy and have on hand for various treatment situations? Thanks for any suggestions and ideas.

My husband and I were up north deer hunting in the below zero weather. When we got back to camp he decided to start a fire with a 1lb. propane torch. When he got the fire going, he turned the torch off and set it down. The fire went out after a few minutes, and when he leaned over to grab the torch he found out that he hadn't turned the torch completely off, meaning he literally torched his hand! I quickly had him put his hand in a bucket that was under the sink (cold water) and ran for my homeopathy kit. I gave him two doses of cantharis 30c while his hands were in the bucket of water, and he stood up, dried off his hands, and went on with his business. I gave him two more doses in the hours before going to bed and in the morning I asked him how his hand was. His response... "Why? What's wrong with my hand?" He had totally forgotten that he burned his hand the day before!

Two amazing recent recoveries for our family to share. The first was a relative who had 3 episodes of suffering from severe sciatica. The 1st time she used conventional medicine; they gave her drugs and physical therapy. The 2nd time she used chiropractic care; he gave her an NSAID along with adjustments 3 times a week. It took 6 weeks each time for it to stop hurting her and she was off work over a month each time. It also cost her over $300 each time for her share of co-pay expenses. She called me the 3rd time it happened. I researched her symptoms and it looked like Rhus Tox would work. She took 2 doses of 30C; it was gone in less than 6 hours and has never returned.
Another family member was having low back problems after doing too much yard work over the weekend. He knew about the sciatica results and asked us what remedy could help him. Kali Carbonicum is used for lower backache and since we had 30C on hand, we gave that to him. 2 doses and he was right as rain.
We LOVE homeopathy and this newsletter! Way to go, Doc. Another awesome publication.

Last year about this time (8/6/2014) I was expecting a wonderful litter of 9, very large for my terrier breed. As it happened, the dam needed a C-section and it was recommended that I use a facility near to my repro vet who could not do the section as it was an emergency. The whole process was a nightmare and I ended up losing 6 of the 9 puppies (5 during the c-section and 1 the day after). I believe they gave her too much anaesthesia, although they would never admit it. I was losing one of the 3 remaining puppies who was limp in the whelping box. Her heart had stopped and I got her going but she couldn't breathe and was gasping for air, but not able to breathe. I gave her 3 doses of Carbo Vegetabilis 30C and she never had an episode again. She is now just over a year and a holy terror (as she should be). I am thankful to Homeopathy most every day.

Dr. Falconer
I'm curios. I had exactly the same symptoms as Sarah but the doctors think in my case it is Crohn's. Do you think that bryonia could help if I have a sudden flare up of inflammation with those specific symptoms?
Thank you for this amazing blog and fountain of information!
Kind regards,

My family and I were on vacation in Colorado recently. We went hiking in the mountains one day where my daughter (age 20) injured her foot. She was hiking downhill when she stepped on a rock that rolled her ankle inward. She said she heard three loud "pops" when it happened and then her foot began throbbing in pain. I knew exactly which homeopathic remedy would work best in this situation but my kit of vials was in a backpack with my husband who had hiked ahead of us, too far out of reach.
At this point of the hike we were just past halfway down the mountain and her foot was beginning to swell quickly. With the help of a hiking stick and my shoulder, she hobbled the rest of the way down the mountain where we were finally reunited with my homeopathic kit. I gave her four pellets of Arnica 30c right away and decided to have her see a doctor when we arrived home the next day if her pain worsened.
I continued dosing her with Arnica 4 times per day for the following two days and cut back to 1-2 doses per day thereafter. Every day she took Arnica her pain lessened and within six days of the original dosing she was running on it, completely pain free. Gotta love good ol' homeopathy!

This story isn't really about an emergency, but it sure was painful. I do work with my hands, and I had accidentally crushed three of my fingertips, resulting in terrible and instant swelling and pain. X-ray revealed that the distal bone of two fingers had been smashed to bits. I took a 1M dose (sorry I don't recall whether I repeated doses or not) of a remedy called "Ouch!" which contains Arnica, Hypericum, and Rhus Tox, which dramatically reduced the swelling and pain. Later that day, or perhaps the next day, I took Symphytum - it was either 200C or 30C (again, I don't recall how many doses, but I do remember repeating this one - maybe 3 times/day for a few days). Result = all healed up in record time!

Just one little comment: I get goosebumps everytime I read your stories and it's a good feeling. Thank you thank you thank you.

Great story, Dr. Falconer, and Susan, your story is awesome, too! My story involves my dear friend and house sitter, who takes care of my dogs when I'm away. She's an older person, almost 80, and a diabetic. However, she's full of life and has great vitality. She loves dressing up and dancing at polka tests for 4-6 hours a day on as many weekends as she can attend these dances in WI.
Anyway, I had some friends over and she was experiencing the awful after effects of a diabetic crash. Her symptoms seemed a match to Nux Vomica. In addition to feeling like she was hung over, she was bent over, ashen-faced, and had no energy. I gave her the Nux Vomica 30C and within one minute of taking the remedy, she stood up straight, had pink cheeks, a sparkle in her eyes and started talking to us as if she had never experienced the after effects of the crash. It was amazing and miraculous and exciting. We all saw it so there were multiple witnesses.
I have a second story involving the same person. She was diagnosed with spinal stenosis, which is where bone grows in the canal of the spine and squeezes the nerve bundles running down the spine. She was experiencing terrible pain from the resultant sciatica and was slated for a spine operation. I immediately jumped in and asked her to try a homeopathic remedy before submitting to the operation since doing that type of surgery on a diabetic can often leave them worse off when they started. I had learned that the remedy Hekla Lava removes bone from places it shouldn't be and redirects it to the proper places in the body. So I recommended she try it. She started feeling relief from her sciatica within a couple of days and when she went back for a pre-op check, they found that she didn't need the operation. The bone had removed itself from where it shouldn't be inside her spinal column and deposited itself in the place it was supposed to be in the first place. She has never forgotten how this suggestion and this remedy saved her from the knife. Now she lends out her homeopathy books and recommends remedies to her friends in need.
Homeopathy rocks!!!

I used to raise a few pigs every year. One year a wild turnkey flock flew over head and one of them dropped some poop mid flight. A pig gobbled that down (no pun intended) and got sick. I can't remember the name of the disease, but the pig broke out into a rash and got a fever. Yes, I took his temperature and it was pretty high. I ran to the house, called the vet, and grabbed Belladonna 30c and a piece of bread. The pig took the pellets wrapped in the bread.
In 20 minutes his fever broke. In 30 minutes the vet arrived. I told him what I had done. Boy was he ever mad, and on the verge of calling animal control on me for animal abuse because he didn't know what homeopathic Belladonna was. He was sure I'd given the pig Foxglove.

I fell and broke my hand and wrist in multiple places. I was 59 at the time, so not a spring chicken. Luckily I did not require pins, however, the trauma was still significant. As soon as I was released from the Emergency Room, I began using several remedies to heal bone and reduce pain and inflammation. Symphytum 200 c, Calcarea Carb 12x and Rhus Tox 30x for the joint pain and one more remedy combo for General Pain that had Bryonia, Hypericum, Mag Phos, Kali Phos and Arnica at a 3x. I was told by 3 separate MD's I would require a 12 week recovery. At 5 weeks I was pronounced healed and released, even surpassing all expectations for Physical Therapy. I only needed prescription pain medication until my cast was put in place and only to sleep.
