In a long-forgotten, far-away land, there lived a Special Doctor (we shall call him S D instead of M D for short). "Special" because he had done pioneering work to save people who had given up hope from other sources. He thought outside the normal medical constraints. He was a qualified Allopathic doctor as well as being a gifted and innovative Homoeopathic practitioner. I travelled seven hours there and seven hours return to see him on several occasions when I was in some strife many years ago, so you can appreciate I held him in high regard! He was considered unconventional by some of course and the Medical Establishment were suspicious of his methods naturally and attacked him more than once without managing to "dent" or "faze" him badly. Like James Bond's martini, he was "Shaken but not stirred"!
I well recall the first time I consulted him! At the conclusion of his diagnosis / treatment, I sincerely thought he had said "And how shall we pay?" (credit card, visa, cash??) but I must have been a tad hard of hearing (or mentally in another place possibly), as what he had in reality asked was, "And NOW shall we PRAY?". An understandable error on my part I suppose, as your regular sawbones does not often ask that these days I guess. After the prayer, and after I had settled up, we parted company! I visited him a few times UNTIL he was finally struck off by the Medical Council who managed to finally get to him at long last. They gave him the run around for a long time! It was very sad, as at the time he ceased to practise, (UK type spelling used here! ) he would have been helping hundreds of patients who were subsequently deprived of his ministrations.
From what I was led to understand, a couple of politically correct zealots were at least partly responsible for his being censured!
I believe he managed to carry on with some of his homoeopathic patients though, which is something to be grateful for at least.
I have retained a long-held sense of injustice about his treatment and it still rankles to this day. Still, Good will hopefully triumph in the end after life's long and worrying vicissitudes!? I suppose I should harbour (UK again-sorry! ) Christian thoughts and trust that the two protagonists have found peace somewhere later in life and not been so easily prone to having their sensibilities offended!!?? Yeah - right!
Cheers and take care,
Michael

Anyway, There was a homeopathic product out a few years ago, that was removed by the FDA because a few people claimed to have lost thier sense of smell. This was in a gel form and was squirted into the nose to shorten the duration of the common cold. It WORKED and this is probably the real reason the FDA removed it. NONE of my family members ever lost any sense of smell using it. And it was safe for all ages, DID NOT raise blood pressure and men with prostate problems DID NOT have to fear using it.
The active ingredient was zincum gluconicum 2x... My question is if Ted or Bill or anyone else might know of a way to make this at home in a gel formula. What process and ingredients are needed?

Homeopathy strengthens the body's own healing mechanism, the immune system, to heal itself. That is why it is good to have holistic, constitutional treatment in addition to the suggestions here for particular ailments.
One thing you should all know about is Arnica Montana for physical injury and brusing. After a fall, or surgery, it helps the body heal faster. I give it to my patients if they need an operation, Arnica 30c twice a day for a up to a week afterwards, and invariably their doctor will comment on how quickly they've healed. Also good for children's falls and scrapes. You might notice the bruising gets worse at first. Like with oil-pulling releasing toxins, this is a sign that the body is working. The bruise may look painful, but the person feels well.

The same day she started it, she was surprised to find that the swelling and pain in her knee was very much reduced, and she now had full range of motion. That night, she told me she got into bed bending that knee for the first time in years!
At first we thought it was just the change in weather, but it continued getting better so that she no longer needs a cane. She stopped taking it after two weeks, and the pain started to creep back, so she has started it again, with improvement again.
It was startling how fast the improvement was. We consider it a miracle, since we weren't even treating arthritis. It's nice to have a positive side effect for a change.

Only 2 years ago I first tried out a medicine for PMS cramping, which I often get very severely, and the remedy continues to work well. I use a 'combination' medicine specifically for Headaches that is better than anything else I've ever used, natural or pharmacueticial...wine hangover/headache goes away swiftly too!
I have also used homeopathic remedies for pain from a ruptured ovarian cyst, and it helped immensely.
I am still getting acquainted with this form of natural healing, which treats immediate symptoms with accuracy and speed. It amazed me what ailments can be treated... not just physical symptoms, but emotions, like stress, irritability, etc.
Just a few weeks back I was having terrible shoulder soreness and an overwhelmed feeling after the workday. I found remedies for both ailments that worked well to take the edge off, as I had already been massaging and stretching as much as I could, and trying to rest.
It isn't easy to wrap the mind around Homeopathic medicine, how exactly it works, but we are all learning much these days about vibrations and energy and such... and it's something of a mystique, but they DO work well! Sometimes the challenge is matching the right remedy to your very specific ailment, and some books and vendors pamphlets make this process easier.
I'll continue to write more to add to this page because I hope more people will come to know about Homeopathics and thier uses, especially when an immediate action is needed that isn't found as easily in other natural remedies.
I use and try all other forms of natural healing and living, including herbs, acv/baking soda, coconut oil, hydrogen peroxide, healthy/raw diet, juicing, lots of water, positive attitude, green tea, flower essences for emotional healing, striving for good habits, generosity, etc. etc. etc. and I feel strongly that Homeopathics certainly have thier place. I hope more people will come to be aware of all they have to offer. If I could I would love to study this fascinating subject formally. I am pretty passionate about it along with the Flower Essences...

You can keep homeopathic remedies going forever if you preserve the vibration in alcohol.
Here's how it works:
Take your pellets or pills and put them in a new glass bottle with a dropper. Fill the bottle 3/4 of the way with any hard liquor and allow the pellets to dissolve. ( If you have a remedy already in liquid form just refill the bottle with liquor.) Succuss the bottle about 100 times by tapping it on your palm. You can repeat this as many times as you like as you are simply keeping the vibration going. A few drops is a sufficient dose. I usually succuss the bottle a few times each time I take a remedy just to keep the vibration strong.
Blessings and thanks.
