Consultations — Amy Harron Homeopathy I offer homeopathic consultations for chronic ailments and acute illness for adults, children and babies, both in person at my Comber clinic and via Zoom

If you're a client and you're not already in my private group for parents and carers, here you go!

If you're not a client but are the parent or carer of a child with Down syndrome (and are interested in how homeopathy, nutrition and TNI can help you support your child with DS), you are very welcome too.

When joining, please do make sure you answer the questions - I don't accept requests otherwise.

See you there!

New evidence on Arnica sheds light on its healing properties.. yes the evidence continues to pile up in favor of homeopathy!

Italian researchers have just published a paper examining the effects of the homeopathic remedy Arnica montana on human macrophages.

What are macrophages? They are specialized cells involved in the detection, phagocytosis and destruction of bacteria and other harmful organisms as well as the repair and remodeling of damaged tissue.

So what did the researchers find?
The homeopathic remedy Arnica montana significantly stimulates the expression of three genes controlling the regulatory proteins of the tissue around human cells (otherwise called the extracellular matrix) - with positive effects on cell adhesion and migration during tissue development and healing.

New book just arrived for some Sunday reading 💛 https://amzn.to/3Ylt8VC

Glyphosate, a chemical found in the common herbicide Roundup, is toxic to humans and other animals, and it is water soluble. It's now in our water supplies, our food, and even our rainwater.

Researchers have just published a paper showing that a homeopathic preparation of glyphosate may have some value in protecting against its toxic effects - at least in plants. The implications of this research may be profound.

***I've opened up again to new client appointments!***

If you've been interested in working together, there is now availability for new client bookings via the website. They are booking into December at the moment.

New client appointments are available for:

- Children and young adults
- Siblings of existing clients
- Parents/Carers

- Surgical Support Consultations are also available to book on the site.

- TNI Support Consultations are available to book there as well.

- Acute Appointments (for non-clients) are also available to book, but only via email ([email protected]). These will be scheduled once you contact. (Acute support is already included for active clients).

***All appointments take place via Zoom***

Please ask if you require paperwork from me for insurance (you will be able to make a claim if your insurance policy covers homeopathy - I have the required registration: RSHom).

If you had asked to be added to a waitlist, you should have already received an email with details on how to book. If not, please let me know ASAP and I will help you get booked in as soon as possible.

I run a busy but focused practice. I have done my best to maximise appointment availability and times that will hopefully suit as many as possible. Appointments book up far in advance and popular times go first. The first appointments I have available for new clients are in December, so if you would like to get started, do get booked in. The intake material is significant, so you can get started on that in advance and really make sure it is thoroughly completed (you will get the best from treatment that way).

Looking forward to meeting all the new families!

Best wishes,

Amy

Just dropped! 👇

The Richest Chocolate Brownies — Finn's Kitchen Rich, gooey chocolate brownies. Flourless (made using nut butters and tahini), as well as dairy- and gluten-free. Enjoy!

5 years ago, I set up the recipe blog Finn's Kitchen.

The website lapsed, as life took over elsewhere, and while I did lose a number of recipes, I still had the bones of the original backed up.
I've decided to resurrect and continue to add to the site. It's very basic again now, but you'll still find some of the classics on there.

I am in the process of having it switched over to Wordpress, like the old site (making it easier to search for recipes and print etc.). For now, though, the reduced version of the site is back!

Here you go: www.finns-kitchen.com

The photos of tiny Finn and Faye on the farm! Oh my. So much has changed since then - we are no longer living on the farm and don't have the space to grow and rear our own as we did. So, we are back sourcing locally from other producers like normal folk 🙂

I'll probably put pen to paper about the journey from farm to village some time and share it on the site.

For now, I hope the website is useful to families I support in my practice, as well as anyone else interested in increasing real, whole, unprocessed foods in their family's diet (and why they would be a good thing).

We're not perfect, but we are 10 years+ into a journey of learning, researching, experimenting and doing our best to feed our kids and ourselves food that brings us joy and nourishes us in the way nature intended, without losing our minds about getting it right all of the time. We probably don't.

Enjoy!

It’s hard. This is so hard.

People keep asking how I’m doing and I tell them the truth.

I’m tired.

I feel drained.

I am exhausted. My family is exhausted.

I don’t know which is the right way up at the moment because he’s not himself. Or, at least, he’s not the himself I knew before his hospital stay. And understandably. He went through an unfair amount of hard in there and now, he’s a little stronger and a little more energised and he’s making it very clear what he thinks about it.

Or at least, that’s what I think is going on.
I don’t know for sure.

He’s been through a tonne of changes and trauma and now, he’s having some big behaviours.

He’s unpredictably melting down and as the days go on, the bigger the behaviours are becoming.

Yesterday’s hard felt really big for me.

And in reality, looking back, it’s nothing I haven’t handled before. It was no bigger than anything we’ve had in the past and it wasn’t anything new I haven’t been through before.

I’m just tired.

I know it’s because I’m really tired. I know I’m tapped out right now. I know I need a break, I know I need better quality sleep, I know I need a minute to get out of my carer’s mind and I absolutely know what I need isn’t to be harder on myself.

I didn’t handle yesterdays hard well. I know this, and while his behaviours are a bit bigger at the moment, I know it’s me.

I know my cup is empty and I know there isn’t time to fill it right now because the season I’m in at the moment, is a brutal one.

He needs me to help him heal, but, I’m not yet healed either.

And that’s a hard mix.

It’s going to take a lot. It’s going to require a lot. It’s going to look messy and I’m going to need a lot of strength mustered from the absolute bottom of me and there are going to be days that I will feel like I can’t do this.

But, I will do this.

I will feel like I’m failing.

But, I won’t be failing.

I will feel like I can’t keep going.

But, I will keep going.

It’s not going to be linear, or easy, or quick. I know. But I will be kind and forgiving to myself, and especially to him.

Yesterday was hard but today is a new day.

Keep going Mama.
The tunnel is exhausting but you are the light of it. Remember that.
I love you.
Love, Christine x

"Since homeopathic medicines are often used clinically to relieve inflammation and the level of oxidative stress is a known marker of inflammation, researchers Anne Paumier, Justine Verre and Naoual Boujedaini, wanted to evaluate the antioxidant efficacy of different dilutions of:

Arnica montana (1CH, 3CH, 5CH, 7CH, 9CH, 30 CH),
Arsenicum album (3CH, 5CH, 7CH, 15CH, 30CH)
and Lachesis mutus (3CH, 5CH, 7CH 9CH, 15CH, 30CH)

Their findings: Homeopathic dilutions significantly reduced oxidative stress by decreasing the level of oxygen-derived free radicals (ROS)."

Microglia are immune cells in the brain and spinal cord that protect the central nervous system (CNS) from damage and pathogens. They play an important role in inflammatory responses, inducing possible responses to numerous mediators such as free radicals derived from oxygen (ROS) and nitrogen (RNS), which in turn can induce oxidative stress damage to many cellular components such as lipids, nucleic acids, membranes, and cellular organelles.

"Conclusion: Homoeopathy, using conventional medicine as a safety backdrop, was more effective than conventional treatment in preventing sick days, sickness episodes, and respiratory illnesses in the first 24 months of life. It necessitated fewer antibiotics and its overall cost was lower. This study supports homoeopathy, using conventional medicine as a safety backdrop, as a safe and cost-effective primary care modality during the first 2 years of life."
