General Questions

Where did homeopathy come from? expand_more

Homeopathy is a 200-year-old system of remedies based on the principle that like cures like. The founder of homeopathy, Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, a German physician, experimented with various minerals and herbs to discover what symptoms they produced when consumed. He treated particular illnesses and conditions successfully with highly dilute solutions of these minerals and herbs. He did so by matching the symptoms of an illness to those produced by a particular mineral or herb (when not in the dilute form he used for treatment). These gentle treatments based on like curing like elicited a healing response in the bodies of his patients

Today, millions worldwide use homeopathic remedies to treat a wide variety of illnesses and conditions.

Is homeopathy safe? expand_more

In the 200 years since Dr. Samuel Hahnemann invented homeopathy there has never been a single documented injury or death from the use of properly formulated homeopathic remedies. Because they are so dilute, homeopathic remedies are inherently safe and side effects are exceedingly rare.

Why should I use homeopathy? expand_more
Many people prefer to try homeopathy first before using pharmaceuticals because homeopathic remedies are inherently safe. Homeopathy can act as a first defense against many common maladies with little risk. If after treatment with a homeopathic remedy the illness resolves itself, then nothing further need be done. If not, a person can try to match another homeopathic remedy to his or her illness and take the remedy without fear of complications. The option to use pharmaceuticals is, of course, still available should homeopathy fail—and all medical treatments including those used by modern medicine can fail. But many faithful homeopathy users find that with good health practices, they rarely, if ever, need to go beyond their homeopathy kit.
Why is it important to make oral Homeopathic Remedies with Alcohol instead of Glycerin/Glycerol? expand_more

Homeopathic remedies are not fully potent or preserved effectively without alcohol as it holds the frequencies stable.

Using homeopathics with glycerin instead of alcohol may have side-effects. Glycerol is POSSIBLY SAFE when taken by mouth, short-term. However, Glycerol can cause side effects including headaches, dizziness, bloating, nausea, vomiting, thirst, and diarrhea. There is a homeopathic remedy for glycerol to get it out of the body as it is toxic.

According to the Homeopathic Pharmacopeia of the United States, all non-alcoholic homeopathic solutions are potentially subject to microbial contamination and decomposition and must be prepared with a suitable preservative system; any preservative system must comply with USP standards for antimicrobial effectiveness. If a product substitutes glycerin instead of alcohol, the glycerin would have to be at least 50% of the formula in order to have the appropriate preservative system.

Furthermore, using alcohol is the best way to preserve and keep the frequencies stable. With that said, the alcohol content must not be less than 20% v/v for any liquid attenuation, unless prepared with a suitable preservative system. Since glycerin is a humectant, it draws moisture into the product, so yep it does require a preservative when using it.

Non-alcoholic solutions should be used immediately to insure efficacy. All non-alcoholic solutions that are potentially subject to microbial contamination must be prepared with a suitable preservative system; any preservative system must comply with USP standards for antimicrobial effectiveness. Preservatives or stabilizers, if used, must be added only after the final attenuation, and must be declared on the label. Alternatively, nonalcoholic solutions may be immediately processed into higher attenuations for medicating purposes, using dispensing alcohol as the diluent for the final two decimal attenuations or final centesimal attenuation.

What is unique about the Five Element Saliva Test? expand_more

This is a circadian rhythm test, which is done over a 24-hour period. The Five Element Saliva Test was developed by Theresa Dale, Ph.D., C.C.N., N.P. and is the only saliva test in the world that uses The Chinese Medicine “Body Clock’ as its foundation for interpretation.

This means that the saliva collection times correspond to organs, glands, emotions and meridians that relate to cortisol and other hormone levels. So, each cortisol time will tell you how balanced a specific acupuncture meridian. For example, Dr. Dale added a saliva specimen at 2 a.m. which is the liver time. Since the liver conjugates hormones it is of utmost importance to test this time. We alone have this specimen time added to our lab report. In addition, you get 10 tests evaluated (6 cortisol, plus – progesterone, estradiol, DHEA, testosterone), interpretation, recommendations, endocrine rebuilding diet, and nutrient list.

How often do I need to take the Five Element Saliva Test? expand_more

Every three to six months for the first year of homeopathic hormone rejuvenation and according to advice from your personal health care provider.

Do I need to stop taking my hormones? expand_more

All of the directions are included in the kit. It takes a minimum of ten days to two months to clear your system of supplemental hormones. To get an accurate assessment of your body’s hormonal production, it is recommended that you do not use synthetic or natural hormones, hormone creams, and herbal or other supplements to balance your hormones for ten days before the test.

Why is saliva testing better than blood testing for hormone levels? expand_more

Saliva testing measures the biologically active (“free”) level of hormone in the bloodstream, unlike blood testing, which measures the “free” and “bound” hormone levels as one value. Hormones that are “bound” by proteins in the blood are unavailable to target tissues. “Free” hormones, on the other hand, diffuse into target tissues in the body. Saliva testing is precise, painless, and convenient because patients can do it in their own homes.

Which hormones do I need to test? expand_more

Typically, we suggest the following testing protocol:

Baseline: Estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, 6 cortisol levels, and Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)

three to six months after initiating EndoPure, repeat baseline: Stop all EndoPure and homeopathics 10 days before test.

Annually: Repeat baseline

What is a Five Element Test and why is it different from other saliva tests? expand_more

Adrenal Cortisol is a hormone just like estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. The adrenal glands produce cortisol. The specimen “spit” time of each cortisol level is extremely important for accurate results. Each cortisol time that we use corresponds precisely with the correct organ, gland and meridian that is most susceptible or vulnerable at that particular time of the day, night or early morning, which gives us the most accurate information possible about your body. Moreover, each time, meridian, organ and gland corresponds to the Five Element Body Clock, which is the foundation of acupuncture: a 2000 year old diagnostic and healing modality. Therefore, the time that you give a specimen, if corresponding with the Five Element Body Clock, will actually give you results based on the function of the organ, gland, meridian (and even emotion) that is connected to cortisol production. Therefore, we can assess more accurately than other salivary tests that include only one to four specimen times for adrenal cortisol levels.

Why take the saliva test over 24-hours? expand_more
This is the best way for us to test your circadian rhythm, cortisol levels and assess adrenal fatigue. Your adrenal function is key to hormone rejuvenation.

How long does it take to detoxify synthetic, natural or bio-identical hormones? expand_more
It can take as long as 30-70 days for synthetic or animal hormones (e.g. Premarin) to leave your system.
Why are Neuro-Emotional Remedies recommended as a part of the NuFem Saliva test interpretation? expand_more
While the NuFem Gels balance the hormones, Dr. Dale recommends NERs as an essential part of your program to balance the meridians, organs, glands and emotions that regulate hormones. Neuro-Emotional Remedies are high potency homeopathic remedies based on the acupuncture meridian system of healing. There is one NER for every meridian. Every meridian corresponds to an organ, gland, and emotion. Every saliva collection time has an organ or gland connected to it and so does each NER. Therefore, we use the NER to balance each abnormal cortisol level. This helps with the entire healing and balancing process. Homeopathy is a well-researched science of medicine, which is centuries old and approved by the FDA. There are no harmful side effects produced from using homeopathy. Homeopathy is used with children and adults. In addition, doctors and their patients use Neuro-Emotional Remedies to balance kidney Chi with NER #4, and detoxify the Liver with NER #6 Liver. For Thyroid-Adrenal balancing, doctors use NER #11 which balances both. There is a remedy for each meridian.

This depends on your genetics. It is impossible to know whether it will grow hair on everyone; For example if a man is prematurely bald or balding at 30 or 35 years old and it is a genetic trait, it would work better at this age than a person who has been bald for 20 years or more.
