Wine Mom, and today we're getting into a topic that

12
00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:41.399
I know a lot of moms are curious about, even

13
00:00:41.439 --> 00:00:44.159
if they don't always talk about it out loud. We're

14
00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:48.560
talking about homeopathy. My guest today is Marcus Fernandez. He's

15
00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:51.520
the founder of the Center for Homeopathic Education, and he

16
00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:55.439

00:00:55.479 --> 00:00:59.960
the method confidently in everyday life. He's worked with parents

18
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:03.119
all over the world who want to better understand how

19
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:06.159
the body heals and how to support that process, especially

20
00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:09.599
when it comes to their kids. In this episode, we're

21
00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:13.920
unpacking what it actually is, why it sparks such strong reactions,

22
00:01:13.959 --> 00:01:16.439
how stress plays into healing, and what this could look

23
00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:17.959
like on the inside.

24
00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:19.120
Of a real household.

25
00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:22.840
So, whether you're skeptical, interested, or just trying to learn

26
00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:26.560
something new, this conversation is about understanding the perspective and

27
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:29.400
asking better questions. So, without further ado, let's welcome Marcus.

28
00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:30.120
Welcome Marcus.

00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:31.879
Thanks Samanthan lovely to be here.

30
00:01:32.599 --> 00:01:35.359
Yeah, so before we get in into all the clean stuff,

31
00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:37.640
we start each episode with our wine wine in one

32
00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:39.879
of the week segment, this is where we share our

33
00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:42.640
favorite bottle of wine, then about something that's been bothering us,

34
00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:45.079
and celebrate our recent victory. So grab a glass, take

35
00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:47.799
a deep breath, and let's get started. So Marcus, what

36
00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:49.560
is your wine or drink of the week.

37
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:53.799
Well, I haven't actually stopped drinking about twenty well twenty

38
00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:54.599
six years ago.

39
00:01:55.120 --> 00:01:56.040
Wow, congrats.

40
00:01:56.040 --> 00:01:59.480
Oh yeah, yeah, I mean not because I had a problem.

41
00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:02.840
I just I just decided I thought I was drinking

42
00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:04.439
quite a lot. I thought maybe that I'll just stop

43
00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:07.120
for a month and then that just continue on to

44
00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:09.800
the next month. But you know, I do like the

45
00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:12.680
alcohol free wine. It's not quite the same, but to me,

46
00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:15.520
me now after twenty six years, it feels exactly the

47
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:18.919
same when I drink it. Yeah, so yeah, it's uh,

48
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:21.639
that would be my choice if I had a choice.

49
00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:24.280
Cool. And so what's your complaint wine of the week?

50
00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:26.000
You mean, what I do I want to whine about?

51
00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:29.439
You in? Yeah, what do you want to like complain about? Now?

52
00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:31.919
There's a lot of things I complain about the weather.

53
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:34.080
The weather here in the UK. Oh my god, it's

54
00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:37.039
just like rained every single day since since the New year,

55
00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:40.879
and I think it's been our wettest and lack of

56
00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:44.960
sunlight February just come out of and January for like

57
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:49.639
nineteen oh five. So I want to whine about the weather. However,

58
00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:51.840
it's been very sunny. It's been very sunny today, it's

59
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:53.719

60
00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:54.800

61
00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:58.840
Lot well over in Pennsylvania. On this side it is

62
00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:01.080
not much better. It's been terrible. We we just got

63
00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:04.280
over a few large snowstorms and it's just been raining

64
00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:08.319
and yeah, just been terrible. So what's your win of

65
00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:10.280
the week? Something positive this week?

66
00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:14.120
Something positive the week? That's good one. I'm good positive

67
00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:16.840
of the week. Think I think it was, I think

68
00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:21.520
it's my it's my daughter, my daughter. She's ten and

69
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:25.639
she's going to a new school in well Secondary School

70
00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:28.759
in September. She's called Maggie. If she's listening out there,

71
00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:32.240
she's a bit. She was really nervous about starting new

72
00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:34.120
school because she's not going to know anybody because all

73
00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:36.560
the other kids they're going to different places and she's

74
00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:38.240
going to a school where she's not going to know anybody.

75
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:40.719
And we encourage you to join a drama group where

76
00:03:40.759 --> 00:03:42.800
she didn't know anybody at all, so she had to

77
00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:45.599
make friends and go in there completely. And she just

78
00:03:45.639 --> 00:03:49.240
finished this last weekend, the performance that did four shows

79
00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:53.759
of Aladdin the musical, and she was so uncloud nigh

80
00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:56.159
and I said to her, yeah, I said to a

81
00:03:56.159 --> 00:03:58.560
lot you see, she said, you know you can do this.

82
00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:01.439
You can go to somewhere that you don't know anybody

83
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:03.879
and make friends. And she said, you know what, Dad,

84
00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:06.360
You're absolutely right. So that was a good win. That

85
00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:07.120
was a good good win.

86
00:04:07.159 --> 00:04:10.199
Wait, and such a confidence builder for kids, you know,

87
00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:13.719
to see that they've done that and they're involved and.

88
00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:14.680
That's just so cool.

89
00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:19.319
But she was nervous. She was nervous before then she

90
00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:22.319
had anxiety and before the performance she was nervous. So

91
00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:25.839
I gave her homopathic remedy called arge knit, which is

92
00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:29.120
good for It's called arge knit, which is a remedy

93
00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:34.319
for anticipation and especially an anticipation of an event coming up,

94
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:36.720
like performance or you can even use it go into

95
00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:38.800
the dentist or if you're a bit nervous. And that

96
00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:40.959
really really because he had a funny tummy and it

97
00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:42.120
settled everything down.

98
00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:44.959
Wow, I need to what about before you fly? Does

99
00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:46.279
that help you with your nerves?

100
00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:50.879
Yeah? Knits as well, yeah knits. Yeah. So that's a

101
00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:54.079
really good remedy O knit because it's it's anticipating what

102
00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:56.680
can happen. You know that when you're worried about what

103
00:04:56.720 --> 00:04:59.199
can happen. And I've given that remedy so many times

104
00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:01.920
to people you have fear of flying, and it's really

105
00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:04.319
really helped many condemnists.

106
00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:07.639
I'm such a nervous fire. All right, Well, so let's

107
00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:10.319
kind of get into that. Tell us about what you do,

108
00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:14.240
what first pulled you to this direction and you grew

109
00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:17.319
up in more of a conventional medical mindset? Is that

110
00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:19.720
what I read? And like, how did that kind of

111
00:05:20.319 --> 00:05:21.480
switch over to everything.

112
00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:24.439
Yeah, So I mean, yeah, my background is I was

113
00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:26.839
brought up you know, when you got sick, you went

114
00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:28.800
to the doctors. You know, my parents normally, and my

115
00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:31.279
mum would tell me because not often mums are the

116
00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:33.680
ones that, you know, take care of all the healthcare,

117
00:05:33.839 --> 00:05:36.560
and yeah, we go to the doctors. I get to say,

118
00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:38.560
we go to the doctors or have a you know,

119
00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:41.560
or vaccines or whatever we had, and that it's just

120
00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:44.600
what you did. And you you never questioned the doctor either.

121
00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:46.279
That was the thing. You know. My parents never would

122
00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:49.439
question the doctor. The doctor always knew right. So I

123
00:05:49.480 --> 00:05:53.600
was up in a very very conventional way, and this

124
00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:57.319
whole area of healing and well being was wasn't really

125
00:05:57.360 --> 00:06:00.879
on my you know, my radar, and I was. I

126
00:06:00.920 --> 00:06:02.560
was in a band, you know, I was fourteen. I

127
00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:06.759
I actually it was Bruce Springsteen, a New Jersey boy

128
00:06:06.839 --> 00:06:11.360
not far away from where you are in New Jersey. Yeah. Yeah,

129
00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:15.279
what I got very very inspired by Bruce Springsteen when

130
00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:17.800
I was a kid, and so that that's that got

131
00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:19.560
me to play the you know, learn to play the guitar.

132
00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:21.120
I taught myself and then all I want to do

133
00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:22.480
is get in a band. I wanted to be a

134
00:06:22.560 --> 00:06:25.920
rock and roller. And so from the age of fourteen

135
00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:28.560
I was, I was in a band. And when I

136
00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:31.319
was just before I was twenty, well around being twenty

137
00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:34.839
years of age, we've been you know, we gig all

138
00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:37.519
the time, and you know, never had any money. Was

139
00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:40.879
a poor musician. Really. We only got money when we

140
00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:45.199
got did gigs and when we got paid. And at

141
00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:47.480
the time we had this tour plan We're going to

142
00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:50.040
tour Germany with the band. But I had no money,

143
00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:52.120
you know, and I needed some money just to get there.

144
00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:53.959
Once I was there, I was fine because we get

145
00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:56.199
paid after the gigs, after the you know what we

146
00:06:56.240 --> 00:06:59.360
did anyway, So the only I thought, right, I'm gonna

147
00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:01.680
have to get a job, right, which is quite aiding

148
00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:04.160
to me at the time. I'm forget a normal job.

149
00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:06.800
And so the own I went to different jobs. And

150
00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:09.360
it was the early nineties and it was the recession

151
00:07:09.399 --> 00:07:11.600
in the UK. You couldn't get a job. And the

152
00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:14.680
only job I could get was working in a nursing

153
00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:18.680
home with the elderly who had dementia. It was specifically

154
00:07:18.759 --> 00:07:21.839
for people with dementia. Now, honestly, Samantha, I can't say

155
00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:24.319
how far away. That was from my well my mind

156
00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:26.000
was at the time. But it was the only job

157
00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:28.959
I could get. So I started working there because I

158
00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:30.399
was only going to be there for a few weeks

159
00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:32.480
and now looking after the elderly, doing all the different

160
00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:34.720
stuff you had to do, working with the nurses there.

161
00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:36.680
And one day I was having a cup of coffee

162
00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:40.000
in the staff room on my break and I was

163
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:41.800
trying to run on the nurses there and was talking

164
00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:46.079
away and then she said, I'm doing this course. I'm

165
00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:48.000
going to be doing this course in September on this

166
00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:51.439
thing called homeopathy. I never heard of it. I mean,

167
00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:53.120
it was like an alien word to me. What the

168
00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:56.639
hell was homeopathy? To say, it's a mouthful, And she

169
00:07:56.720 --> 00:08:00.000
explained what it was and I said, okay, that sounds

170
00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:02.040
really great. You said, did you know what should I

171
00:08:02.040 --> 00:08:07.000
think you'd make a great homeopath. I said what I said,

172
00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:09.759
I think you make a really good homeopath. I went, no, no, no, no,

173
00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:11.720
you don't understand. Her. Money here for a few weeks

174
00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:13.519
and we're going to be a rock star. The are

175
00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:17.160
the usual. Yeah, she said, no, I think you should

176
00:08:17.160 --> 00:08:19.000
come with me to this open day. There's an open

177
00:08:19.040 --> 00:08:21.319
day event. You should come there's going to be lecturers

178
00:08:21.319 --> 00:08:25.519
talking there, teachers speaking about the course and homeopathy, and no, no,

179
00:08:25.519 --> 00:08:28.879
no play. Honestly, no, I'm really not interested, thanks very much.

180
00:08:29.279 --> 00:08:31.759
I made my excuses and I left. I left the room,

181
00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:34.960
went back to work. But Samantha, every time I saw

182
00:08:34.960 --> 00:08:37.559
her after that, whether it was in the corridor, in

183
00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:40.960
the car park, in the staff room, she'd say to me, Marks,

184
00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:43.120
I really feel you should come with me to this,

185
00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:47.000
to this open day. And I, you know, I thought

186
00:08:47.360 --> 00:08:48.840
she was older than me. You know, I think she's

187
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:51.159
probably about thirty five or I don't know, forty, but

188
00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:53.240
when you're nineteen or twenty, that sounds quite old.

189
00:08:53.279 --> 00:08:54.080
I thought, Yeah.

190
00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:57.519
I thought, maybe she's lonely. Maybe she just wants somebody

191
00:08:57.519 --> 00:08:59.440
to go with her, like a two hour trip a

192
00:08:59.519 --> 00:09:02.600
car ride. So in the end, just to shut her up,

193
00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:07.320
I said, right, I'll come with you. So there was

194
00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:09.320
going to be in a week's time anyway, the day

195
00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:12.399
before this open day was going to go, I woke

196
00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:15.240
up in the morning and I had terrible tons of lighters.

197
00:09:15.960 --> 00:09:17.480
And I used to get a lot of ton s lighters.

198
00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:17.600
You know.

199
00:09:17.639 --> 00:09:18.919
I was a singer in the band as well, who

200
00:09:19.000 --> 00:09:21.519
played guitar. But we were always in smoky clubs. I

201
00:09:21.600 --> 00:09:23.799
used to smoke, I was drinking. You know, rock and

202
00:09:23.919 --> 00:09:26.960
roll lifestyle hedonistic anyway, So what I'd normally do is

203
00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:30.639
phone the doctors up making appointment and they give me antibiotics.

204
00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:33.200
Now it would get rid of it, but it would

205
00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:36.000
always come back, you know, it was never really getting

206
00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:38.519
to the source of it. So I phoned the doctors up,

207
00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:40.679
couldn't get an appointment, and I thought, what I'm going

208
00:09:40.720 --> 00:09:43.120
to do now? And then I thought, I know, I'm

209
00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:45.799
going to try this homeopathy stuff this woman's been banging

210
00:09:45.799 --> 00:09:48.399
on about. So I got a little but I got

211
00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:50.720
the bus into town, went to the local health food store.

212
00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:53.639
I thought, right, I'm going to try this stuff. And

213
00:09:53.840 --> 00:09:56.559
I asked a lady there it was do you sell homeopathies?

214
00:09:56.639 --> 00:09:58.159
He said yeah, in the back, and I went to

215
00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:02.240
the back and there was all these bottles of homeopathic remedies,

216
00:10:02.320 --> 00:10:07.159
all in really weird names like Coulsa, Tilla, Bella Donna.

217
00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:08.919
I thought, God, that sounds like a poison. It was

218
00:10:08.960 --> 00:10:12.000
a poison. Oh, Senecum knocks Vomica, and I thought, wow,

219
00:10:12.080 --> 00:10:14.120
what a great name for a metal band. Knocks vomitan

220
00:10:14.159 --> 00:10:16.120
would be a great name for a band. And then

221
00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:18.120
and then I looked at this little leaflet and I

222
00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:21.399
looked at this leafer and it it saw this remedy

223
00:10:21.399 --> 00:10:24.440
called gel Semium, and I thought that sounds like my symptoms.

224
00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:28.480
It was like felt heavy, achy throat, headache, like a band,

225
00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:30.919
like a sensation on the head. So I bought it

226
00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:33.679
and I went home and I opened the jar. It

227
00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:35.440
were at a bottle with the remedies. There's a lot

228
00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:37.320
of white pills. And I looked at it and said,

229
00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:41.039
if this works, I'm going to go to this open day.

230
00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:43.480
But if it doesn't work, I'm not going to waste

231
00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:46.480
my time and I'm not gonna go. So I took

232
00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:48.639
one of the pills. Maybe it very clearly, and I

233
00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:52.120
fell asleep and I woke up about in the chair.

234
00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:54.879
I woke up a couple of hours later and I

235
00:10:54.960 --> 00:11:00.679
was absolutely soaking wet from sweat. Wow, absolutely so and

236
00:11:00.759 --> 00:11:03.519
my hair. I thought, wow, that was pretty powerful. I

237
00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:07.080
didn't realize i'd fallen asleep. So I took another one

238
00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:10.080
and the same thing happened. And this happened all day.

239
00:11:10.519 --> 00:11:13.039
Because now it's the daytime, it's not nighttime. Daytime, and

240
00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:14.960
I went to the pub that evening with my friends

241
00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:17.799
and I'm sat there, you know, with my drink, and

242
00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:20.559
I'm sweating and they said, you okay, you look like

243
00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:23.559
you look like death. I said, yeah, I said, I'm

244
00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:25.960
sweating a lot. But actually I feel okay myself. I

245
00:11:25.960 --> 00:11:29.360
felt okay, like it was a good thing. I woke

246
00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:33.879
up the next morning, Samantha no ton Solis. Wow, and

247
00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:38.200
I've never had to slitis since that's thirty How old

248
00:11:38.200 --> 00:11:42.519
are I life? That's thirty year, thirty four years ago? Wow,

249
00:11:42.840 --> 00:11:43.320
never had it?

250
00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:44.240
Wow again?

251
00:11:44.519 --> 00:11:50.159
Never again, never again, never again. So that got me

252
00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:52.320
thinking now, So I thought, okay, I'll go to this

253
00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:55.759
open day. But I had no intention of signing up

254
00:11:55.879 --> 00:11:58.320
or you know, anything to do with it. So I

255
00:11:58.360 --> 00:11:59.799
get to that. I get there with her in the

256
00:11:59.840 --> 00:12:04.639
car and she's very excited and the guy sorts to speak.

257
00:12:04.679 --> 00:12:06.840
One of the teachers. In fact, he's the principal and

258
00:12:06.879 --> 00:12:09.399
founder of this college, the first homeopathic college really in

259
00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:11.879
the UK that he found it back in the early seventies,

260
00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:14.840
about mid seventies. So I'm listening to him talk and

261
00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:17.159
he's talking about his experience, you know, thirty odd years

262
00:12:17.240 --> 00:12:21.080
experience of homeopathy and about remedies and about his clients

263
00:12:21.080 --> 00:12:23.679
and patients and all the different cases. And I'm listening

264
00:12:23.720 --> 00:12:29.799
to it and I remember going really quiet inside. It

265
00:12:29.919 --> 00:12:32.720
was like there was this stillness just came over me,

266
00:12:32.840 --> 00:12:35.960
and it was really quiet, like a quietness I've never

267
00:12:36.039 --> 00:12:38.919
experienced that before, that that sort of stillness. It's like

268
00:12:38.960 --> 00:12:41.879
my mind has stopped, you know. And it was like

269
00:12:42.559 --> 00:12:45.399
it was like I felt I knew what he was

270
00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:47.960
talking about, you know, I felt I knew it. It

271
00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:50.200
was like I was hearing truth for the first time.

272
00:12:51.399 --> 00:12:54.080
I can't really describe it any more than but some

273
00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:58.559
part of me are very deep part of me really

274
00:12:58.639 --> 00:13:02.200
resonated it. It knew it to be true. My first

275
00:13:02.200 --> 00:13:06.120
thought was, if this is true what he's saying, how

276
00:13:06.120 --> 00:13:09.519
come the whole world doesn't know about it? Because you

277
00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:12.200
were talking about you know, one hundred million people use

278
00:13:12.240 --> 00:13:15.240
it in India for the healthcare alone. There's on the

279
00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:18.200
homopathic hospitals. There used to be in the UK there

280
00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:20.840
used to a four or five, and how much it's

281
00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:23.399
used around the world. And then I thought, how come

282
00:13:23.440 --> 00:13:25.399
the whole world doesn't know about this? You know, I

283
00:13:25.399 --> 00:13:28.000
thought I knew it all at twenty you know, of course,

284
00:13:29.399 --> 00:13:34.159
of course. And then my second thought was, I'm going

285
00:13:34.240 --> 00:13:35.799
to make sure the whole world does know about this

286
00:13:36.320 --> 00:13:40.840
love that, yeah, and that, And I signed up for

287
00:13:40.879 --> 00:13:43.159
this course. I knew nothing. I didn't have the money,

288
00:13:44.039 --> 00:13:47.159
but I knew knew I had to do this. And often,

289
00:13:47.240 --> 00:13:49.320
you know, I always say, you don't get into homeopathy.

290
00:13:49.559 --> 00:13:52.639
It pulls you in with the times, right, And you know,

291
00:13:52.759 --> 00:13:55.440
I'm so grateful that it did because it shaped the

292
00:13:55.440 --> 00:13:57.960
rest of my life. And I'm so grateful it's in

293
00:13:58.000 --> 00:13:59.879
my life, in the life of my family and my kids.

294
00:14:00.799 --> 00:14:03.399
You know. We truly was a start of a journey,

295
00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:06.440
and an incredible journey, you know. And I can't believe

296
00:14:06.480 --> 00:14:09.200
how long ago that was. But I didn't make it

297
00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:11.799
to be a rock star. But hey, you know, maybe

298
00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:12.559
I'm a rock star.

299
00:14:12.440 --> 00:14:17.279
And I love it. Yes you did, I've trained.

300
00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:22.919
Yeah yeah in the story.

301
00:14:23.639 --> 00:14:24.080
Yeah.

302
00:14:24.159 --> 00:14:26.600
So I'm not sure in the UK if this is

303
00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:29.360
how they reference it, But in the US, you know,

304
00:14:29.840 --> 00:14:33.200
moms who are using natural remedies they're called like crunchy

305
00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:35.919
moms or and I feel like there's a lot a

306
00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:37.720
lot of people that think they have to be one

307
00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:41.480
way or the other way something like myself. I kind

308
00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:42.840
of fall in the middle where I'm like, yeah, I

309
00:14:42.840 --> 00:14:45.759
trust the doctor, but also I'm really open to, you know,

310
00:14:46.120 --> 00:14:49.440
giving my kids what is best for their body, but

311
00:14:49.519 --> 00:14:52.559
I don't really know enough about it. So what would

312
00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:55.480
you say to a mom who like has I'll say,

313
00:14:55.799 --> 00:14:57.279
because I have a three year old, like my three

314
00:14:57.320 --> 00:15:00.360
year old wakes up and they're they have the flu

315
00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:04.120
or they're sick, rather than grabbing like the cold medicine

316
00:15:04.159 --> 00:15:07.360
out there, the flu medicine after the cabinet, what would

317
00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:07.840
you tell them?

318
00:15:07.960 --> 00:15:10.000
Well, sort of the first bit about what you're saying

319
00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:13.799
about crunchy mums. Sorry I say, we say mums in England.

320
00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:19.960
You says, you know, I ran a mother and baby

321
00:15:19.960 --> 00:15:22.799
cling for many many years. I always say, you know,

322
00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:25.519
it doesn't have to be one of the other. So

323
00:15:25.559 --> 00:15:28.759
it's about it's about a scale. You know, if I'm

324
00:15:28.799 --> 00:15:30.399
in a car accident, the first place I want to

325
00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:35.000
be as a hospital, you know, right, Yeah, medicine fantastic.

326
00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:37.639
I'll probably be taking the remedyonica. I'm conscious and that

327
00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:39.519
did happen to me. But if I've got a chronic

328
00:15:39.559 --> 00:15:41.399
disease or you know, I'm going to look at other

329
00:15:41.440 --> 00:15:43.480
ways to get my body to heat itself before I

330
00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:46.639
go down that surgery or pharmaceutical things. So to me,

331
00:15:46.639 --> 00:15:49.320
it's a scale, but I think that really we have

332
00:15:49.399 --> 00:15:51.480
to have a shift in off perception about what is

333
00:15:51.519 --> 00:15:55.240
health and what is you know, sickness. So for me

334
00:15:55.840 --> 00:15:58.799
it's sort of it's sort of three things here really

335
00:15:58.840 --> 00:16:00.799
for parents and being a parent and know exactly what

336
00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:04.799
it's what it's like. I think the first thing is

337
00:16:05.039 --> 00:16:09.039
that your body is designed to heal, you know, and

338
00:16:09.120 --> 00:16:13.200
our job is to support the healing response, not to

339
00:16:13.279 --> 00:16:18.279
suppress symptoms. And I think what happens is we we

340
00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:21.559
go to a place of fear very quickly because really

341
00:16:21.639 --> 00:16:24.720
a lack of knowledge. Now remember years and years ago,

342
00:16:24.840 --> 00:16:28.480
you know, your grandmother will be very much involved in

343
00:16:28.519 --> 00:16:30.799
the family health or there and their mother, so there

344
00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:33.799
was a whole sort of sort of wisdom around the

345
00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:36.240
family and the grandmother and knew what to do. Why

346
00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:38.200
could you've been there before? The great grandmotherly is and

347
00:16:38.240 --> 00:16:40.639
know why because she'd been there before. And I think

348
00:16:40.679 --> 00:16:44.320
what's happened is we've just given our power away and

349
00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:46.879
there's a lot of things we can do before we

350
00:16:46.960 --> 00:16:51.360
need to go down the pharmaceutical approach in my mind,

351
00:16:51.720 --> 00:16:54.200
and I think that I usally use this analogy surmount.

352
00:16:54.279 --> 00:16:57.039
It's like a car dashboard. If the oil like flashes,

353
00:16:57.080 --> 00:16:59.360
it means there's something wrong in the engine. But if

354
00:16:59.399 --> 00:17:02.200
you just take a ball bout or suppress the symptoms,

355
00:17:02.480 --> 00:17:04.039
there's still a problem in the engine. The car is

356
00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:05.960
going to break down two or three miles down the road.

357
00:17:06.279 --> 00:17:07.759
So what we need to do is getting to the

358
00:17:07.799 --> 00:17:11.160
engine and sort of like really sort the problem out.

359
00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:13.359
And they're light, we'll go off by itself. So we've

360
00:17:13.359 --> 00:17:15.720
got to, like you said, we've got to stimulate the

361
00:17:15.720 --> 00:17:18.200
body to help it heed itself. And that's what remedies do.

362
00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:23.680
The second point is parents are more capable than they think. Okay,

363
00:17:24.200 --> 00:17:27.519
I think with a few remedies, yeah you are. And

364
00:17:27.559 --> 00:17:29.680
I think particularly mothers, I'm going to split this out

365
00:17:29.720 --> 00:17:32.559
of there, mothers. I would rather trust a mother's intuition

366
00:17:32.640 --> 00:17:35.720
about their child than any doctor. M M yeah, yeah,

367
00:17:36.119 --> 00:17:38.319
any doctor in Harley Street. What we have here, which

368
00:17:38.359 --> 00:17:40.319
is like you know, the main medical street in London.

369
00:17:40.960 --> 00:17:43.720
You know your child, you know, and with a few

370
00:17:43.799 --> 00:17:46.640
remedies and some basic knowledge, you know, families can handle

371
00:17:46.640 --> 00:17:50.119
the most everyday illnesses, acutes things at home, be a cough,

372
00:17:50.240 --> 00:17:54.519
cold fever. Of course, if it's sort of you'll know

373
00:17:54.640 --> 00:17:58.000
intuitively when you need to get help, right, you know.

374
00:17:58.319 --> 00:18:00.920
But a lot of things can be dealt with, like

375
00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:04.160
I said, with some of these old, old well remedies,

376
00:18:04.200 --> 00:18:06.480
but also old sort of what we call wives tell

377
00:18:06.599 --> 00:18:09.519
you know, the old grandmother recipes that things you can do.

378
00:18:10.880 --> 00:18:13.640
And the third thing is, I think slow down the panic.

379
00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:18.000
You know, so often fear and urgency often leads or

380
00:18:18.039 --> 00:18:22.920
necessary medication. So I think again, when we have more knowledge,

381
00:18:23.599 --> 00:18:27.119
it sort of empowers us and we we slow down.

382
00:18:27.200 --> 00:18:30.000
You know, It's like, okay, hang on, let's just calm

383
00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:31.759
this down, let's just sort this out. So I don't

384
00:18:31.759 --> 00:18:34.279
forgot whether that makes sense. It's like often when we

385
00:18:34.319 --> 00:18:37.160
calm down that panic, we make better decisions for our kids.

386
00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:40.920
I think, what do you think the biggest misconceptions around

387
00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:44.319
the homeopathic life are because a lot of people say, oh,

388
00:18:44.400 --> 00:18:47.240
you know, that's just like that's not real medicine, even

389
00:18:47.400 --> 00:18:50.000
though it is real medicine. But what do you find

390
00:18:50.279 --> 00:18:52.599
that people are saying a lot and how do you

391
00:18:52.680 --> 00:18:55.480
kind of get them to see that this actually works?

392
00:18:55.720 --> 00:18:57.680
Well? I always say, the proofs and the pudding. You

393
00:18:57.680 --> 00:18:59.119
don't need to believe in it. You just got to

394
00:18:59.160 --> 00:19:00.960
try it. But I always try to. I think part

395
00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:03.160
of my job as well as a practitioner, which I'm

396
00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:05.599
still a practitioner and still sill patience, is the fact

397
00:19:05.599 --> 00:19:09.920
that it's really educating people what is homeopathy? So you

398
00:19:09.920 --> 00:19:13.039
know what is it? Well, homeopathy is based on the

399
00:19:13.079 --> 00:19:17.480
principle of like cures like. So what that means. Give

400
00:19:17.519 --> 00:19:19.599
an example, if you're chopping in it up, your eyes

401
00:19:19.720 --> 00:19:22.599
water and your nose runs, well, we use onion in

402
00:19:22.599 --> 00:19:26.039
a very doullted homeopathic form for people with hay fever

403
00:19:26.319 --> 00:19:28.839
or colds with the same symptoms of our eyes are

404
00:19:28.880 --> 00:19:32.880
running in the nose of running. Whatever can cause something

405
00:19:32.920 --> 00:19:35.960
in a large amount, in a small amount, it can

406
00:19:36.039 --> 00:19:39.119
cure it. So another good example, actually, mu's bring it

407
00:19:39.160 --> 00:19:41.880
into wine. You know. Yeah, people have a hangover after

408
00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:44.599
drinking too much wine. What do people say, have hair

409
00:19:44.680 --> 00:19:46.960
of the dog, which is a little bit of the

410
00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:50.240
stuff that caused it in a large amount. Yeah, And

411
00:19:50.279 --> 00:19:53.960
that's really the basis of homeopathy. Another example would be coffee.

412
00:19:54.039 --> 00:19:55.880
Say you have a couple of espressos or a lot

413
00:19:55.880 --> 00:19:58.119
of drink loss of coffee, your whole nervous system gets

414
00:19:58.119 --> 00:20:00.799
wound up and it's like you mine's running at a

415
00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:03.079
thirty you know, three hundred miles an hour. You're running

416
00:20:03.119 --> 00:20:04.960
around your whole stretch. You can't sleep.

417
00:20:05.559 --> 00:20:05.720
Well.

418
00:20:05.759 --> 00:20:10.400
We use coffee or kaffea as a homeopathic remedy for

419
00:20:10.559 --> 00:20:13.559
people that have those symptoms but havn't drank coffee that

420
00:20:13.720 --> 00:20:16.960
is really stressed out, okay, or they can't sleep. So

421
00:20:17.039 --> 00:20:19.160
whatever can cause something in a large amount, in a

422
00:20:19.160 --> 00:20:21.920
small amount, you can cure it. So that's the basis

423
00:20:21.920 --> 00:20:25.799
of homeopathy. And back to your question is what do

424
00:20:25.920 --> 00:20:29.640
I say to people that's that say, oh, homeopli is

425
00:20:29.680 --> 00:20:31.880
a lot of rubbish, you know, it's all placebo. Or

426
00:20:32.160 --> 00:20:35.440
I always say to people, well what's your experience of it?

427
00:20:36.400 --> 00:20:39.519
Well I read that, Oh you read something. Try it,

428
00:20:40.200 --> 00:20:42.400
just try it. You know, it's actually for people, and

429
00:20:42.519 --> 00:20:45.119
it's about wine. It's about wine. There's a remedy called

430
00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:48.240
nux of vomica, which is why I mentioned before we

431
00:20:48.279 --> 00:20:50.039
sound like a good name for a band. It's the

432
00:20:50.119 --> 00:20:51.480
number one hangover remedy.

433
00:20:51.920 --> 00:20:54.799
Oh wow, number one? Hands on that? Yes?

434
00:20:54.920 --> 00:20:58.920
Well that yeah, yes, some of that, but the little

435
00:20:58.960 --> 00:21:01.160
tip for that though, some that you take one one

436
00:21:01.200 --> 00:21:04.559
before you start drinking, take one whilest you're drinking, and

437
00:21:04.599 --> 00:21:07.400
then take one if you can remember an you're conscious

438
00:21:08.039 --> 00:21:09.839
at the end at the end of the night, and

439
00:21:09.880 --> 00:21:12.960
that will really really helps preventing hangovers.

440
00:21:14.519 --> 00:21:16.039
So, you know, as we said, you work with a

441
00:21:16.039 --> 00:21:18.680
lot of families. What patterns do you see in modern

442
00:21:18.759 --> 00:21:23.519
parenting that are really affecting kids' health physically, emotionally all around.

443
00:21:23.759 --> 00:21:26.240
Yeah, what do I think? Well, I mean, lo, life's

444
00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:28.839
changed so much, you know. I mean I said I

445
00:21:28.839 --> 00:21:31.440
started pressing homeopy in the sort of like mid nineties,

446
00:21:31.480 --> 00:21:34.240
and things have changed so much. I mean, look, mid

447
00:21:34.319 --> 00:21:37.119
nineties the internet was just coming on. You know, it

448
00:21:37.279 --> 00:21:38.759
was like that there was a lot of There was

449
00:21:38.799 --> 00:21:43.599
no smartphones, you know, there was no social media. I

450
00:21:43.680 --> 00:21:46.519
think I think it's I really think it's about I

451
00:21:46.559 --> 00:21:49.119
just think it's about being present with our kids, you know.

452
00:21:50.240 --> 00:21:53.319
I think it's been present present with our kids. And listen,

453
00:21:53.359 --> 00:21:55.200
I know life's really tough, and I don't think to

454
00:21:55.279 --> 00:21:59.200
make anybody feel guilty, but I remember I remember Jimmy,

455
00:21:59.279 --> 00:22:01.920
my little boy was about probably about two, I don't know,

456
00:22:02.400 --> 00:22:04.319
and I was working on my laptop and he came

457
00:22:04.359 --> 00:22:06.920
in and he was trying to, you know, shut the laptop,

458
00:22:07.720 --> 00:22:09.279
and I was going a bit annoyed because I was

459
00:22:09.319 --> 00:22:13.200
trying to work, and I suddenly dawned on me, actually

460
00:22:13.279 --> 00:22:17.200
wants my attention, right, you know, that's why he should

461
00:22:17.240 --> 00:22:19.200
in it. He wants my I know it sounds obvious,

462
00:22:19.599 --> 00:22:21.960
but when it really lands, you go, wow, Okay, what

463
00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:24.359
am I doing? But I think I don't know modern parenting.

464
00:22:24.400 --> 00:22:25.759
I just think it's I just think, look, we need

465
00:22:25.799 --> 00:22:27.440
to need to be more present. I think we just

466
00:22:27.480 --> 00:22:29.880
need to be more present with our kids. And there's

467
00:22:29.920 --> 00:22:31.839
they say, you know, kids, and my kids now are

468
00:22:31.839 --> 00:22:35.160
fifteen and ten. It just goes so quick and you

469
00:22:35.160 --> 00:22:37.680
suddenly turn around and go, wow, what the hell happened?

470
00:22:38.440 --> 00:22:39.640
Yeah, it goes fair.

471
00:22:41.119 --> 00:22:42.839
Yeah, and they say that, but it's like until you

472
00:22:42.920 --> 00:22:46.000
actually experience it, you don't realize it. So I just

473
00:22:46.000 --> 00:22:47.799
think we're more present, you know. And I think when

474
00:22:47.839 --> 00:22:52.240
you're more present, then you you can really you know,

475
00:22:52.799 --> 00:22:54.680
parents have got it anywhere, and particularly mothers, they've got

476
00:22:54.680 --> 00:22:57.359
a really strong connection obviously to children, to the child.

477
00:22:57.880 --> 00:23:00.559
But it's like anything you know, just making sure, I

478
00:23:00.599 --> 00:23:04.039
don't know, sort of like, what's the word. I don't

479
00:23:04.039 --> 00:23:06.559
want to tell parents what to do, but it's the

480
00:23:06.640 --> 00:23:08.799
stuff that they know, you know, it's it's the sleep,

481
00:23:08.839 --> 00:23:12.359
it's the diet. It's for mother kids and the kids,

482
00:23:12.359 --> 00:23:17.160
you know, all the family eating well, sleeping well, you know, moving, exercise,

483
00:23:17.240 --> 00:23:20.319
all those things, being out in nature, connecting with the world,

484
00:23:20.920 --> 00:23:23.960
not always on a screen, you know, not always on

485
00:23:24.000 --> 00:23:26.480
a screen. And I think a lot of the stuff

486
00:23:26.480 --> 00:23:28.480
around social media and screens, I think, you know, this

487
00:23:28.519 --> 00:23:31.720
whole thing about anxiety and young people. I think, you know,

488
00:23:31.759 --> 00:23:33.960
we need to be building our child's resilience.

489
00:23:34.720 --> 00:23:35.400
True, and.

490
00:23:36.839 --> 00:23:38.920
To me, the more we use natural remedies. What the

491
00:23:39.000 --> 00:23:41.920
natural remedies do is stimulate the body to heat itself.

492
00:23:41.920 --> 00:23:43.839
It's like a workout for the body, like going to

493
00:23:43.920 --> 00:23:49.440
the gym. When you're just taking pharmaceutical it suppresses the system,

494
00:23:49.480 --> 00:23:52.240
you know, it's not it's in the system to work.

495
00:23:52.799 --> 00:23:57.279
Yeah, just ignoring, you know, pushing down the problem rather

496
00:23:57.319 --> 00:24:01.079
than actually fixing it. So you're you're the founder of

497
00:24:01.240 --> 00:24:04.799
the Center of Homeopathic Education. Can you talk about that?

498
00:24:04.960 --> 00:24:07.200
Like what would someone expect sure from there?

499
00:24:07.720 --> 00:24:10.200
Yeah? Sure, sure, yeah, yeah. So I found that back

500
00:24:10.240 --> 00:24:14.359
in well got twenty eight years ago. Wow, and yeah,

501
00:24:14.400 --> 00:24:16.880
a long time. I can't believe, but you know, it's

502
00:24:16.880 --> 00:24:20.160
been an amazing time. And we've got We're based in London.

503
00:24:20.720 --> 00:24:23.039
We have a class room based course and where we

504
00:24:23.119 --> 00:24:27.119
train people to become practitioners, but also we do beginner's courses,

505
00:24:27.759 --> 00:24:31.160
nation courses and practitioner training as well as postgraduate training.

506
00:24:31.960 --> 00:24:34.799
But now obviously with our online courses, we have students

507
00:24:34.839 --> 00:24:37.680
all over the world, included in America and North America.

508
00:24:37.799 --> 00:24:39.759
And the reason why I said upset she was that

509
00:24:39.799 --> 00:24:44.000
I could only I could only reach so many people

510
00:24:44.000 --> 00:24:47.000
in my own practice right now, and I wanted, as

511
00:24:47.000 --> 00:24:49.559
I said, remember what I said when I first discovered homeopthy,

512
00:24:49.880 --> 00:24:52.440
I wanted the whole world to know about it. And

513
00:24:52.519 --> 00:24:55.920
so I wrote this this statement which I've really lived

514
00:24:55.920 --> 00:24:59.759
by all these years, which is my real vision, is

515
00:24:59.759 --> 00:25:02.200
to be enhance the health and well being of humankind

516
00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:06.440
through the education and application of homeopathy. And that's been

517
00:25:06.480 --> 00:25:09.240
my north start. And now we've got Hobbs all around

518
00:25:09.279 --> 00:25:12.400
the world, not in England, but also Australia, in Bulgaria,

519
00:25:12.519 --> 00:25:17.359
in Turkey, in Hungary, We've got places all over the world.

520
00:25:17.440 --> 00:25:21.119
Now Hobbs Training practitioners. We've also got a clinic in

521
00:25:21.200 --> 00:25:25.880
Gambia and Africa where we have treated twenty five thousand

522
00:25:25.880 --> 00:25:29.000
people for free over the past fifteen years, and now

523
00:25:29.039 --> 00:25:32.759
we're training people in Gambia. This is our charitable thing

524
00:25:32.799 --> 00:25:36.119
that we do to become practitioners, so they're not reliant

525
00:25:36.200 --> 00:25:39.240
just on us going there and treating them. So yeah,

526
00:25:39.599 --> 00:25:42.640
it's a huge mission. Book to educate people, to me

527
00:25:43.039 --> 00:25:45.680
is the highest calling and because we can affect so

528
00:25:45.839 --> 00:25:48.960
many people, and over that period of twenty eight years,

529
00:25:49.039 --> 00:25:53.319
you can imagine we've trained thousands of practitioners now all

530
00:25:53.359 --> 00:25:55.920
over the world. And also we have a free I

531
00:25:56.000 --> 00:25:58.240
said this to you listeners, we have a free home

532
00:25:58.279 --> 00:26:01.759
prescriber course. We used to sell this course, but then

533
00:26:01.880 --> 00:26:05.880
during lockdown, I saw how many families were really disempowered

534
00:26:05.920 --> 00:26:08.319
around their health and well being. Because that was a

535
00:26:08.480 --> 00:26:11.119
huge obviously shocked because all of a sudden, it's like

536
00:26:11.599 --> 00:26:14.759
there was no answer to the problem year before the vaccination,

537
00:26:15.200 --> 00:26:17.839
like stay in your house, wear a mask. That was it.

538
00:26:18.119 --> 00:26:21.160
And that shocked a lot of people. They always thought

539
00:26:21.200 --> 00:26:24.240
that if the worst came to the worst, medicine would

540
00:26:24.279 --> 00:26:27.400
save them. And guess what, it didn't. So people then

541
00:26:27.519 --> 00:26:29.400
thinking I need to Yeah, I need to look after on.

542
00:26:29.599 --> 00:26:32.640
So we gave this course away for free. It's still

543
00:26:32.680 --> 00:26:35.559
free and we've had fifty thousand people, just over fifty

544
00:26:35.559 --> 00:26:37.599
as we're doing this course around the world. It's free.

545
00:26:37.640 --> 00:26:41.519
It's online, five hour course, and it teaches you how

546
00:26:41.640 --> 00:26:45.880
to use homeopathy, even if you've had no experience at all,

547
00:26:46.319 --> 00:26:47.839
how to use it. And I would say, everbody, go

548
00:26:47.880 --> 00:26:50.759
to the website seech you homeopathy dot com and you'll

549
00:26:50.759 --> 00:26:52.880
see the home prescriber course and it's free.

550
00:26:53.359 --> 00:26:56.400
Okay, but if you do, if you do register it,

551
00:26:56.599 --> 00:26:57.079
watch it.

552
00:26:57.200 --> 00:27:00.400
Do watch it because you know, we always how many

553
00:27:00.400 --> 00:27:01.960
times you sign up for things and we never we

554
00:27:02.039 --> 00:27:03.359
never watch them.

555
00:27:04.119 --> 00:27:08.079
So if every household could keep just three remedies on hand,

556
00:27:08.119 --> 00:27:09.359
what would they be and why?

557
00:27:10.920 --> 00:27:15.039
Okay? So I would say number one. I would let's

558
00:27:15.119 --> 00:27:15.960
call it ABC.

559
00:27:16.599 --> 00:27:16.920
Okay.

560
00:27:17.000 --> 00:27:21.279
They is for Honka. Everybody needs to have Honoca in

561
00:27:21.519 --> 00:27:23.440
their house, they need to have it in the car,

562
00:27:23.559 --> 00:27:26.000
they need to have in the bag because Honoka is

563
00:27:26.000 --> 00:27:30.200
the number one remedy for trauma. So it's number one

564
00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:33.799
remedy especially for kids, bumps and bruises. My son has

565
00:27:33.839 --> 00:27:36.119
it in his bag when he goes and plays soccer.

566
00:27:36.440 --> 00:27:39.680
It's just the number one remedy for trauma, especially when

567
00:27:40.119 --> 00:27:43.480
people they hurt themselves, fall over and they go, oh,

568
00:27:43.480 --> 00:27:45.559
I'm okay, I'm all right. But it's just the first

569
00:27:45.599 --> 00:27:48.519
remedy you give if your child's or kids fall over

570
00:27:48.720 --> 00:27:51.440
or have any famber of accident, give them Monica. So

571
00:27:51.519 --> 00:27:54.920
number one trauma remedy. Second remedy I would say, would

572
00:27:54.960 --> 00:27:58.519
be I would say probably Bella Donna because I'm thinking

573
00:27:58.559 --> 00:28:02.119
of being upset ABC Donna. Bella Donna is for fevers.

574
00:28:02.839 --> 00:28:05.519
It's for you know, the kids. It comes on suddenly,

575
00:28:05.839 --> 00:28:08.880
the fever, you know, and they sort of like really

576
00:28:08.960 --> 00:28:11.559
burning hot. It can be so hot. This is like

577
00:28:11.599 --> 00:28:15.039
the heats radiating from the skin. They can be Yeah,

578
00:28:15.079 --> 00:28:18.440
often the pupils can be dilated and they may crave

579
00:28:18.599 --> 00:28:21.440
lemons or lemonade or lemonee or something to do with lemons.

580
00:28:21.880 --> 00:28:24.720
So it's a really good number one remedy for fevers,

581
00:28:24.759 --> 00:28:27.720
really hot dry fevers. And what will happen is that

582
00:28:27.960 --> 00:28:30.000
with the remedies they help the body so it doesn't

583
00:28:30.039 --> 00:28:32.720
suppress it like taking what we call it chalpole in

584
00:28:32.759 --> 00:28:35.000
the UK. Don't what you call it in the us,

585
00:28:35.559 --> 00:28:37.920
but it suppresses it well, it does. It helps stimulate

586
00:28:38.039 --> 00:28:40.319
us and it will often break the fever. So the

587
00:28:40.359 --> 00:28:43.799
fever will break and then they sweat. And then the

588
00:28:43.839 --> 00:28:46.920
third one I would say will be clendular. That's sea.

589
00:28:47.039 --> 00:28:50.400
So Clendula is made for marriedgold. It's the number one

590
00:28:50.400 --> 00:28:53.599
remedy for cuts and grazes. You can buy it as

591
00:28:53.599 --> 00:28:56.640
a remedy to take or as a cream, and I'd

592
00:28:56.640 --> 00:29:01.400
say definitely get clendular cream. It's fantastic for cuts and grazes.

593
00:29:01.400 --> 00:29:03.880
Again with the kids are falling over, really really great

594
00:29:03.920 --> 00:29:06.799
remedy for that. So they're the three that's thrown a

595
00:29:06.839 --> 00:29:07.759
cream in there as well.

596
00:29:09.720 --> 00:29:11.599
Now a lot of people you know that are listening,

597
00:29:11.680 --> 00:29:14.039
they might just you know, put it into their Amazon.

598
00:29:14.240 --> 00:29:16.640
Is that where they should Should they be going to

599
00:29:16.759 --> 00:29:19.319
a specific place or can you just get it off

600
00:29:19.759 --> 00:29:20.240
the internet?

601
00:29:20.640 --> 00:29:23.119
Well, I'd always say go to a reputable place obviously,

602
00:29:23.559 --> 00:29:26.440
but most I would actually say big, I'm a big

603
00:29:26.440 --> 00:29:28.400
fan of local health food stores.

604
00:29:28.599 --> 00:29:29.240
I agree too.

605
00:29:29.559 --> 00:29:32.000
I think yeah, I would go to Lei local health

606
00:29:32.000 --> 00:29:36.160
food store. They'll have those three remedies. Absolutely they will. Well, obviously,

607
00:29:36.160 --> 00:29:38.200
if you can't, you can go online. But I go

608
00:29:38.279 --> 00:29:40.240
to local health food store. You know they'll have it.

609
00:29:40.839 --> 00:29:42.000
I totally agree with that.

610
00:29:42.079 --> 00:29:44.119
I just I feel like sometimes, like you know, you

611
00:29:44.200 --> 00:29:47.279
hear a word and you are a remedy and you're like,

612
00:29:47.359 --> 00:29:49.480
let me just look it up real quick, and sometimes

613
00:29:49.480 --> 00:29:52.279
for the busy moms that unfortunately is the easiest. But

614
00:29:52.359 --> 00:29:54.079
I just didn't want anyone to get you know, if

615
00:29:54.440 --> 00:29:54.920
you see it.

616
00:29:54.880 --> 00:29:58.240
All like yeah, no, no, you're right. I mean certain

617
00:29:58.279 --> 00:30:00.519
it's easy, isn't it. Amazon's ease, You click a thing

618
00:30:00.559 --> 00:30:01.039
and you get it.

619
00:30:01.119 --> 00:30:01.319
Yeah.

620
00:30:01.359 --> 00:30:03.720
So yeah, you can get it on Amazon and places

621
00:30:03.960 --> 00:30:05.599
got a lot of You've got a lot of get

622
00:30:05.599 --> 00:30:07.680
there so many rep you're back. You can get them online.

623
00:30:07.680 --> 00:30:09.640
I mean you can go to Honeypathic Pharmacies and who

624
00:30:09.680 --> 00:30:11.119
also will send it to you, but you'll get it

625
00:30:11.160 --> 00:30:14.480
online them. And there's they have to The remedies aren't

626
00:30:14.519 --> 00:30:17.519
like com under food. They come into medicine, so they

627
00:30:17.559 --> 00:30:20.039
have to be in order to be sold strictly. There's

628
00:30:20.079 --> 00:30:23.960
a lot of restrictions around and quality assurance around the remedies.

629
00:30:24.039 --> 00:30:27.359
Yet, so I'm going to have you fill in the blank.

630
00:30:27.400 --> 00:30:30.839
If parents understood what about healing, everything would change.

631
00:30:31.680 --> 00:30:35.319
If parents understood that symptoms are often part of the

632
00:30:35.359 --> 00:30:40.039
healing process rather than the enemy. Everything would change, Hm.

633
00:30:41.039 --> 00:30:44.039
The body's trying to tell you something. Every time you

634
00:30:44.119 --> 00:30:47.119
have a symptom. The body's way of communicating there's an

635
00:30:47.119 --> 00:30:49.640
issue here is trying to show you if you get,

636
00:30:49.680 --> 00:30:53.359
if you suppress it, you're frustrating that, you know. So

637
00:30:53.960 --> 00:30:56.480
this has come really, this has really come from are

638
00:30:56.480 --> 00:30:58.839
gonna don't really get into this, but this has really

639
00:30:58.880 --> 00:31:01.240
come from the pharmacatsal lenders that you know, you need

640
00:31:01.279 --> 00:31:03.720
that about that and what does he do? It stops things,

641
00:31:03.759 --> 00:31:07.319
It controls it, you know. But that's only a very

642
00:31:07.319 --> 00:31:09.319
Western way of looking at healing. It's not an Eastern

643
00:31:09.359 --> 00:31:10.240
way of looking at healing.

644
00:31:10.319 --> 00:31:11.599
Right, So true?

645
00:31:12.799 --> 00:31:15.759
All right, Well, you have given us so much information.

646
00:31:16.119 --> 00:31:19.079
For one last question. If a mom listening right now

647
00:31:19.480 --> 00:31:22.279
is overwhelmed, second guessing herself, wanting to do better for

648
00:31:22.319 --> 00:31:24.599
her kid's health, but not really sure where to start,

649
00:31:24.799 --> 00:31:27.759
what would you want her to hear before we end today?

650
00:31:27.920 --> 00:31:32.240
I would say, well, number one, I said this right

651
00:31:32.279 --> 00:31:36.519
at the beginning. You know your child better than anyone. Okay,

652
00:31:37.000 --> 00:31:40.279
don't underestimate your instincts as a parent. And as he

653
00:31:40.359 --> 00:31:43.359
said before, with a little knowledge and the right tools,

654
00:31:43.440 --> 00:31:45.440
you can support your child's self in ways that are

655
00:31:45.480 --> 00:31:50.640
incredibly empowering. Often when people really start using homeopathy with

656
00:31:50.720 --> 00:31:53.519
their kids, and often they get into homeopathy through their children,

657
00:31:54.160 --> 00:31:57.680
then they often never go back because they see the

658
00:31:57.759 --> 00:31:59.799
power and what the thing is. It is not the remedies.

659
00:32:00.079 --> 00:32:03.279
The remedies are key to a lock there. It's like

660
00:32:03.359 --> 00:32:05.440
a key to it. It's like a key in ignition.

661
00:32:05.559 --> 00:32:07.680
It's like it turns the engine, the engine starts to go.

662
00:32:07.759 --> 00:32:10.119
You don't need to keep turning the key. The engine's

663
00:32:10.160 --> 00:32:12.359
already going. It's the same with the remedy. The power

664
00:32:12.440 --> 00:32:15.119
is not in the the powers not in there in

665
00:32:15.200 --> 00:32:17.680
the remedy. It's like the powers not in the key,

666
00:32:18.559 --> 00:32:23.440
powers in the body. And the more that you use remedies,

667
00:32:23.480 --> 00:32:27.000
you'll see the amazing power of the body. For me,

668
00:32:27.119 --> 00:32:29.000
the biggest thing when I saw the power of the

669
00:32:29.000 --> 00:32:32.200
body was when my wife was in childbirth.

670
00:32:32.920 --> 00:32:34.640
Yeah, oh my gosh, so true.

671
00:32:34.720 --> 00:32:40.319
I was utterly, utterly good job men caught of kids

672
00:32:40.839 --> 00:32:45.440
give birth. But it was the power of the body.

673
00:32:45.599 --> 00:32:47.640
That's when you see it work. And actually a lot

674
00:32:47.640 --> 00:32:49.079
of people use on me up like I did with

675
00:32:49.119 --> 00:32:51.960
my wife when she was giving birth. It's an incredible

676
00:32:52.079 --> 00:32:55.880
to see that power. It's raw power, so true, and

677
00:32:55.920 --> 00:33:00.480
I think we forget that, We really forget that. And yeah,

678
00:33:00.599 --> 00:33:02.759
I just think, please look into it. You know, this

679
00:33:02.839 --> 00:33:05.440
is why come on these podcasts. I do it because

680
00:33:05.480 --> 00:33:08.400
I want, as I said at the beginning, to help

681
00:33:08.440 --> 00:33:10.599
people know, tell the whole world what home me upay

682
00:33:10.759 --> 00:33:14.200
is because it is an incredible thing. That's awesome medicine

683
00:33:14.240 --> 00:33:14.559
the people.

684
00:33:15.480 --> 00:33:17.480
So I love that and I think that's a great

685
00:33:17.519 --> 00:33:20.480
place to end it on those words of wisdom. So

686
00:33:20.759 --> 00:33:23.240
thank you Marcus for this. This is so helpful. I

687
00:33:23.319 --> 00:33:25.640
know everyone listening is going to take a lot from this,

688
00:33:26.640 --> 00:33:29.920
you know. Again, it reminded me of how much power

689
00:33:29.960 --> 00:33:34.400
there is and understanding our options, our body, whether it's

690
00:33:34.559 --> 00:33:38.559
whether homeopathy is something that you explore or not. You know,

691
00:33:38.599 --> 00:33:41.839
I hope this episode encourages everyone to ask the questions

692
00:33:42.359 --> 00:33:44.319
and stay curious about your family's health.

693
00:33:44.359 --> 00:33:45.920
So that's super important.

694
00:33:46.359 --> 00:33:47.079
Absolutely.

695
00:33:47.640 --> 00:33:49.599
