Katfalls, maybe there is an endocrinologist near you that might be open to using porcine or bovine thyroid.
Naturapathics are doctors. Here's in Canada they can order bloodwork etc. They specialize in herbs and glandular supplements for thyroid. Not all of these doctors incorporate New Age. Homeopathy medicine is New Age, but herbs and glandular are not. Before you go to an appointment you just know your stuff on New Age. Many Catholics go to them and just stay away from New Age things
Interesting discussion on thyroid. My gf had thyroid cancer and ultimately had it completely removed as well as radioactive iodine treatment. Now she is on Levoxyl and is told if she doesn't take it, she would have major problems and possibly go blind. What would be a good alternative for her that I can stock up on in case of meds being gone?
I'm not at all lessening the evils of these paganistic practices, but pointing out their limitations relative to scientific technology devoid of any moral compass. It's cottage industries compared to heavy industry.
Except you, right? You’re too much. All I can do is lead the horse to water. Their pride, or lack thereof hopefully, takes it from there
bingo. Knew you wouldn’t be among the stiff necked. It boggles my mind every soul alive with ability to think independently wouldn’t be running as far and as fast as they could away from “modern medicine” after what the pharmaceutical industry has perpetrated upon us for decades, much less the last 2 years of the greatest mistake in medical history with these jabs
you completely misunderstand homeopathy. Completely. If you’d like to learn the truth about it PM me and I’ll connect you with my wife. I’m sure you 2 would connect well as kindred souls—she thinks I’m much too blunt as well, which I am but she’s a very kind faithful woman who you would most likely listen to and she’s all love all the time as opposed to me knocking down china in the shop
I already ordered lots of the purple pitcher plant extract. Again, one can wholeheartedly endorse certain forms of alternative and holistic medicine without endorsing the narrowly defined reality of “homeopathic” medicine. If one understands the real difference, they won’t mock or look down on good well informed Catholics who don’t want anything to do with actual “homeopathic” medicine. When I first ordered the purple plant extract, it wasn’t till it arrived that I realized the preparation I got was a “homeopathic” one, from India. In other words, it was such an infinitesimally tiny dilation of the original pitcher plant extract as to be completely and utterly useless, a fraud frankly. So I searched again and found a real pitcher plant extract from a Christian Amish farm in Pennsylvania. And ordered a box of it. Please, folks, be forewarned - avoid the thousands of times diluted Indian “homeopathic” version of pitcher plant extract. Search for and buy the real pitcher plant extract.
I don’t have context to reply to exactly what you mean as I didn’t read (want to subject myself to) all the pages of replies I knew would come after I posted, only skimmed a couple but I can guess the gist of what you are saying here and yes, spot on. The key is to understand God gave us all we need. Everything. I’ve got 3 Hawthorne trees, Elderberry bushes galore, planted garlic, ginger, Calendula flowers (for wounds), making honey, etc you harvest it all and treat. that’s homeopathy. I’m sure the evil one took that and twisted it with new age or whatever couldn’t care less, he’s gonna do what he’s gonna do like twisting genders, marriage, life, etc. I only care about Truth
First, don’t take this wrong, brother! No, that’s alternative or holistic or naturopathic medicine (as opposed to “allopathic” or “Western” or “modern” medicine). It most definitely is NOT homeopathic medicine or homeopathy. I suspect you don’t really know what homeopathy is, to be honest. If you’re going to condescend and patronize fellow forum members, please at least learn the proper terminology for that to which you refer. As you obviously do NOT know the proper terminology, Christian prudence and humility would dictate you go back and read the citations in this thread you admit you ignored. I’ve studied this stuff for thirty years, both allopathic and alternative/ holistic/ naturopathic approaches (as well as homeopathy) and the New Age traps in each. I’ve used alternative medicine in my own medical practice. And I’ve been published in Catholic periodicals about these issues. I’m not speaking from arrogance or ignorance, just informed facts. Calling alternative/ holistic/ naturopathic medicine “homeopathy” is dangerous. It’s not alternative, holistic or naturopathic. Homeopathy itself has no basis in reality. It truly is New Age. Forgive me for getting upset about this but Catholics need to be extremely careful here.
This is what I ordered: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1112818096/sarracenia-purpurea-usa-purple-pitcher This is what to avoid (anything labeled as “homeopathic” or “homeopathy dilution”): https://www.ebay.com/itm/174966462916
Sorry, serious error here on my part. What I meant to say was: Again, one can wholeheartedly endorse certain forms of alternative, naturopathic and holistic medicine without endorsing the narrowly defined reality of “homeopathic” medicine… …When I first ordered the purple pitcher plant extract, it wasn’t till it arrived that I realized the preparation I got was a “homeopathic” one, from India. Sorry, I’m trying to do too many things at once and getting sloppy.
I'm not sure of all these terms. I do know that most modern medicines come from natural substances. I use raw honey as an antibiotic, it works great. I like chaga tea, it heals. I like blueberries, it's an anti carcinogen, just like paw paws. So if I can find something natural, I'm in. My latest is making my own chicken bone broth for the collegen. It's been healing me. God is good!
Agree. I go as natural as possible too but that is not homeopathy. The term homeopathy applies to a system of using naturally occurring substances in a very particular process that involves releasing the plant's life force. The Church has identified it with reiki and reflexology and other new age practices. I thought from thd beginning of the discussion that FP was confusing the term homeopathy with herbal and natural food remedies which I very much support. They are not at all the same thing.
