More about Obstacles to Cure...

Obstacles to cure tend to vary from person to person.  An obstacle to cure is like a stone or a rock in your pathway to health.  Sometimes we can get around it, sometimes we can’t.  Let’s look at the common things that people tend to do or use that can interfere with healing.

•Coffee:  Women especially are adversely affected by coffee and caffeine (even the caffeine in tea and colas).  Why?  Because the caffeine molecule is so similar in structure to the estrogen molecule that the female body uses it like extra estrogen.  The female body deposits the caffeine molecule in reproductive tissue, like the breasts and uterus.  This then stimulates excess fluid retention.  So we say that caffeine is estrogenic.  Caffeine does not give you estrogen, it just mimics estrogen.  These estrogenic substances in our environment are called xenoestrogens and are implicated in reproductive problems of every sort including cancer.  The founder of homeopathy, Samuel Hahnemann, was so distressed by the health side effects he was observing from folks drinking coffee, that he wrote a whole pamphlet about the evils of coffee.
•Camphor, strong Menthol, Eucalyptus, Tea Tree Oil, Boswellia oil and other strong aromatic oils:
Exposure to these substances, through inhalation, ingestion, or topical application to the skin, scalp or nails usually negates the action of homeopathic remedies.  They are called universal antidotes to homeopathic remedies.  They stop remedies from working cause they hijack your reaction, so that you are reacting to them, and nothing else.  They are potent medicines in their own right and are even used homeopathically when indicated (Camphora, Mentha piperita, Eucalyptus globulus, Melaluca).  How long does the antidoting last?  Depends.
•Anti - anything:  antiperspirants, antibiotics, analgesics, anti inflammatories, antacids, proton pump inhibitors, selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors, etc., all work against your body’s own attempts at finding balance.  Yes, I can appreciate that you do not want to sweat or stink, or have pain or discomfort.  And yes, there are natural and homeopathic ways to deal with all these things, even faster than in conventional medicine.  Changing the way you relate to your body/mind, from an adversary to an ally is fundamental to real change.  Start listening to the signs and symptoms your discomfort is telling you about.  You have within you all the chemicals you need to fight the bacteria, balance your neurochemistry and be happy.  You need to find the way to trigger that.  Homeopathy has that key.  And that key can unlock your very core.
