CHEMICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL SENSITIVITIES
Unfortunately, most of us no longer live in a natural environment. Foreign chemicals and odors are more abundant than ever. Homeopathy can help decrease sensitivity to this unnatural environment or help a person recover from an exposure by decreasing the intensity of a reaction to the substance.

CHOLESTEROL ELEVATIONS
Studying many patients over the years who have a tendency toward high cholesterol has helped us determine the causes and contributors to high cholesterol. The major cause is genetics. Another common cause is the need for protection, caused by being in a vulnerable state. When we feel we need more protection, we make more cholesterol. Cholesterol is not fat, it is a wax-like substance that helps to build cell walls, skin and hormones. Hence it is necessary for a healthy body. Cholesterol only becomes a problem when it begins to build up in the arteries.

Homeopathic medicines can decrease these feelings of vulnerability. In turn, cholesterol counts can decrease. In severe cases of cholesterol build-up, the patient is advised to continue using a cholesterol-lowering drug.

COLITIS
Ulcerative colitis is caused from internalized anger while Chron's disease is caused from resentment. The homeopathic medicine must erase deeply-rooted emotions if it is to be successful. But once success is achieved, remission can last forever. The difficulty is that most colitis patients are good at burying emotions, so when they must discuss these issues during the homeopathic interview, they have difficulty. When the process works, the results are dramatic. The homeopathic remedy will often be made of a dilution of a volatile substance to reverse a volatile internal state.

CONSTIPATION
Constipation results from the patient's need for control. The intestine is lined extensively with muscle. Neuromuscular signals to the colon determine whether to let waste travel slowly or quickly. The more relaxed a patient is, the less constipation there is. This especially applies to young children and infants, who are constantly faced with a feeling of being unable to control their bodies, lives or environment. In adults, constipation can be successfully treated even after persisting for many years.

CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE
Hardening of the arteries often develops from resentment over not receiving enough love and affection in their lives. The person will then harden their heart in order to feel less vulnerable. They were starved for love and they will often starve their loved ones in return. When you add anger and inflammation then a heart attack is more likely. Homeopathic medicines are used to soften the person and their heart.
