			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What’s it like to live with a Sulphur constitutional type? It’s certainly a question that comes up either directly or indirectly from patients all the time. The sulphur constitutional type (1 of 6 personality types which can be balanced by their corresponding homeopathic remedy) becomes the focus of so much attention due to the fact that they are the most radial of all the constitutional types. I use the term ‘radial’ in polar opposition to the term ‘spherical’, which is the polarity that all constitutional types are organized within. A radial force is one which pushes outward, as in the “better out than in” direction of cure we talk about with healing reactions. The spherical force is the opposite, and one which creates more of a space of containment or reserve. Every physiological process in our body is a meeting of these two forces.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Here and Now" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EWX4L1y5aE4/TraWI5dSMyI/AAAAAAAAAlE/2tQ9Hnbkxds/s1600/here%2Band%2Bnow.jpg" alt="" width="306" height="203" /></p>
<p>Whether in the classroom, the family, or the workplace, the radial force of the sulphur constitution is very difficult not to notice. A sulphur lives directly in the “here and now”, which usually makes them very charming, or occasionally annoying to those around. A healthy sulphur is full of life, and are usually always in motion. The parents of sulphur children are usually asking for my help for developing coping strategies, and an unhealthy parent with a weak ego structure is easily buried by their vivacious child. For sulphur children, it is imperative that the parent constantly and consistently enforces appropriate boundaries around the sulphur’s world, in line with their age and stage of development. The radial force of the sulphur drives them to constantly seek out and touch all 4 corners of the world, and beyond, and will be constantly testing their parents and their limits. Slacking off on the boundaries is a grave error for the parent of a sulphur child to make.</p>
<p>While we’ve seen all sorts of conflicts and health challenges arise in children of every constitutional type as they engage with the “mass education” system, it is often the sulphur children that are the biggest cogs in the wheel of the system. These days, the proposed solution is usually an ADHD drug, or something similar, however this does not address the real disconnect between the needs of the student as a unique individual and the standardized curriculum. The sulphur child just happens to be the “canary in the coal mine” in this particular battle. All children have the same inner plea as do sulphurs, which is to be treated as an individual, and allowed to pursue their own interests. The sulphur child is just much more vocal about it, and the least willing to conform to external expectations.</p>
<p>In marriages, we have observed that each of the 6 constitutions naturally pair up in a pattern that repeats a majority of the time. Each constitutional pair is a set of a matching ‘radial’ and ‘spherical’ personality types which provide an excellent mutual point of balance. The radial sulphur constitution most frequently marries the spherical calcarea type, who are usually best suited for containing and organizing their energy and charge into more productive avenues. In return, the sulphur keeps calcarea away from their tendency towards inertia. Being a calcarea type myself, and married to a sulphur, I know this dynamic quite intimately!</p>
<p>As is true for every constitutional type, the knowledge that your spouse or child is a sulphur is extremely useful for understanding how to participate the relationship in a healthy way, rather than in a more reactive way to behaviours that otherwise don’t make sense.</p>
<p>As I mentioned, sulphurs live life in the moment, which means they live in their own sense of time rather than clock or schedule time. I used to be very frustrated by a friend of mine, before I learned about the homeopathic constitutions, and realized that he is a sulphur. Until then, I had always been so frustrated that he would always turn up late when we were meeting, as he was running on the inner time of his own world and experience. I learned that I needed to structure social meetings so that the meeting place was somewhere that I would have something to do while I waited for him to arrive.</p>
<p>Also, it may be good news for you to know that the healthier that a sulphur becomes through the process of Heilkunst treatment, the less “edgy” and difficult they become to deal with. Every constitutional type is actually quite a joy in a state of health, and there are no “good” or “bad” constitutions. A truer understanding of the essence of each type goes a long way in understand our self and others, and how to interact most harmoniously.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>About 20 years ago, I converted to Judaism as a function of my marriage. Since Judaism is a matriarchal religion (could have fooled me) the goal was for me to be able to mysteriously birth Jewish babes from my loins. At the time, it was an adventure into learning the nuances and language of this ancient culture steeped in rituals and laws. Although my babes had white blond hair, one of them Scottish-bald with nothing but new-born chick fuzz for over a year, I did not realize until years later what a gift choosing to be Jewish would be.</p>
<p>I hate shopping. I may spend a total of about an hour in a mall annually out of necessity and that is almost too long. I&#8217;ve always innately supported local crafts-persons, or given a gift card for an experiential delight like an airplane ride with a friend&#8217;s son logging air-hours or a jaunt in a hot air balloon, or I&#8217;ve made my own gifts out of love only if I feel compelled to give something from my heart to another. One year, I asked my beautiful organic farmer to make up a basket of her East Indian delicacies and ship them to my best friend in New Brunswick. I like this kind of gift best of all.</p>
<p>I despise clutter and useless knick-knacks and so I have always avoided giving anything fundamentally useless to someone else. The only thing I like doing with my extended family is the crazy $10 exchange on Christmas Eve where my claim to fame is to always get the best number in the draw so I can choose the biggest, heaviest, juiciest gift. I always vie to find my Nan&#8217;s homemade goodies or preserves. One year I got a lemon zester from my cousin Todd! One year my Uncle got a broken wooden toilet seat that he cherished for his cottage outhouse. These gifts become family lore and get all the funnier depending on how many glasses of wine you&#8217;ve had.</p>
<p>Two days later on boxing day we eat a big turkey with all the traditional fixings. I make Apple Crisp to bring, my Grandmother&#8217;s recipe. I will generally make an organic turkey dinner for the left-overs to carry through the week. Perhaps I might even invite a friend or two over. I love pot lucks as it rescues us from becoming kitchen slaves. My Aunt used to cook for days after wrapping presents until the wee hours the night before and then exhaustively work shifts nursing that same week. I vowed never to become anything remotely like her. I always just wanted to pluck her from the self-made madness she&#8217;d cultivated for herself and hold her until she let go of the tears that were obviously pent up. Even her kids hated that she burnt herself out like toast over the holidays for them.</p>
<p>I actually don&#8217;t have a lot of time for Christmas in its traditional sense. While I love my immediate family, it can take about 10 minutes to exchange a gift card or cash with my teenagers. They used to draw me pictures or make me socks or a hand-made Waldorf Fairy Princess and these gifts I still cherish. I don&#8217;t need or want for anything and I totally love the sparse Festival that is wholly complete with a Chanukah Menorah and the lighting of a candle over eight nights and my sacred oasis completely bereft of cheesy decorations. Funny as I used to avoid Christmas by saying I was Jewish, picking and choosing only what brought me the most pleasure. Even funnier one year when my son or daughter pointed to the decorated homes in a neighbourhood we were passing by car identifying each house as, &#8220;Christmas, Christmas, Jewish, Christmas, Christmas, Christmas, Jewish!&#8221; They were &#8220;Jewish&#8221; if they had no lights or obvious decorations.</p>
<p>I have adopted this state of mind, really and will celebrate only where the venue seems most spiritually resonant and fulfilling for the higher purposes of my existence. I go where the pleasure is! Sometimes it is a drumming circle or a solstice celebration. Some years I&#8217;ve escaped to my abode with nothing but movies and avoided any get-togethers altogether. It just depends on where I&#8217;m at. I give myself the gift of freedom to decide in the moment. The older I get, the more deliciously selfish I become. As a Physician, sometimes on Skype in the middle of the night with a birthing Mother or up with a new mom administering remedies for a child with a high fever, Christmas is a time of complete quiet and contemplation for me.</p>
<p>I always start out with the end in mind. How do I want to feel when the holidays are over? My usual response is ‘rested’, and more connected to myself and my beloved as the kids are up in Ottawa with their Dad. My self-fulfilled twelve days of Christmas generally looks like this:</p>
<ul>
<li>Long snowshoe walks in the bush or <a title="Nordic Walking" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0016688JM/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=arcawholclin-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B0016688JM" target="_blank">Nordic walking</a> on trails by the ocean taking photographs.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I first came to homeopathic medicine about 15 years ago, my only motivation was to serve my own family during simple first aid situations, as well as minor coughs, colds, and ear aches.  I figured I could allow the Doctors to get on with more important cases if I could effectively deal with minor cuts, scrapes and fevers at home.  While I began my homeopathic adventure with the Tylenol in one hand and the homeopathic remedy in the other, I soon found myself in awe of this curative medicine based on 200 year-old principles.  I loved the speed with which a cut healed, a detached retina re-attached (that one was also under an Allopathic Physician&#8217;s care), multiple fevers broken and tummy aches addressed safely and easily.</p>
<p>Since then, I&#8217;ve amassed many tales of homeopathic cures that even took me to a children&#8217;s camp in the wilds of Quebec (ok it was only 30 minutes from a hospital).  I treated a young girl for chronic headaches that cleared up overnight with out re-incidence with Bryonia (headaches over the eyes).  I treated another young boy for a bee sting with Apis (bee venom) , Ledum (puncture wound) and Silicea (to push the stinger out) that was difficult to locate the next day.  I also had a teenager flare the most amazing high fever that reacted very well to Belladonna (quick onset, lots of redness, worse right sided).  The latter patient slept easy in my MASH unit that night so that I could triage her symptoms, but she and I both slept through the night.  She got up the next morning out of very wet bed-sheets and went on her way, fever-less, to join her cabin for breakfast.</p>
<p>Some of you may be heading to your own cottage, or camp, this summer and you can pack some of the same homeopathic remedies as I did in order to easily and simply apply the law of cure, “Like Cures Like,” in order to address your own first aid issues.  You may be as surprised as I was at their effective, curative action, without causing an ounce of harm.  Thankfully they are just as safe to administer to a 1 day old babe as they are to your 100 year-old Grandmother!  You can swing by most health-food stores or some more holistic pharmacies to source your homeopathic remedies for your home, camping trips, or weekly forays to the Cottage.  To order more extensive homeopathic kits, you can follow the link from our website to <a title="First Aid Remedy Kits" href="http://arcanum.ca/resources-for-new-patients/books/home-remedies-the-best-remedy-kits-and-resource-books/" target="_blank">order yours and some reference materials</a> to get you started:</p>
<p>In conjunction with a good course in First Aid and CPR, here are a list of the 10 most common conditions and the must-have homeopathic remedies for you to stock your first aid kit with.  Remember that these do not replace emergency medical care at your local hospital, or generally resolve chronic constant diseases treated by your health care Practitioner, but they can allow you to easily and successfully resolve cuts, scrapes, bug bites and bruises at a minimum.</p>
<p>Successful homeopathic treatment is best provided by a skilled Physician, however, a selection of remedies work for a variety of common ailments which are suitable for personal use.  Homeopathic first aid remedies are most often dispensed in strengths (dilutions) of 6C, 9C, 12C and 30C, with 6C for acute or sudden onset conditions and 30C for slightly longer term, generalized conditions.</p>
<p>The following is a brief list of some of the most common first aid conditions and the corresponding homeopathic remedies you can choose from for your personal or family&#8217;s first aid kit.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[This article is about fostering a healthy, conscious, relationship with out babies and the impact it ultimately has on their spiritual, emotional, physical and sexual well-being.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone" title="Breastfeeding Mom" src="http://assets.babycenter.com/ims/2007/07july/20070716/andrea_diningroom_170.jpg" alt="" width="368" height="272" /></p>
<p>I know this is going to sound odd, but most of us women don&#8217;t realize that breast feeding is actually a male-like function.  If you think about it, the aroused nipple is actually a miniature phallus seeking to penetrate the open lips of a baby seeking healthy penetration.  If you&#8217;ve ever had the pleasure of nursing a baby as they curl their fingers around your breast, or your own finger, you can watch your babe become drowsier and drowsier as they seemingly get drunk on the warmth and love exchanged between mom and babe.  Some of you may have even noticed the babes cheeks suddenly quake and shake as they relax further into this nourishing exchange.  If they could speak, you might even hear them say, &#8220;I am safe, I am held, I am loved.&#8221;  This quaking in the cheeks is actually a facial orgasm!</p>
<p>As a dynamic Physician, I work with patients all the time whose needs were not met by their own mothers.  I have had clients who were force-fed as babes and toddlers, where a timer was rigidly set at the beginning of the meal.  One man told me he was instructed that he had 15 minutes to consume all of the food on his plate as a boy!  I&#8217;ve worked with obese folks who still have the feeling that if they don&#8217;t get all the food in at one sitting, they won&#8217;t have an opportunity to eat again.  I had one 300 lb. woman lie in her bed, raise up her arms in supplication and  begin to cry out the words &#8220;please feed me.&#8221;  As she cried, she began to claw at the sheets, she recognized that she must have been left in her crib and denied feedings.  She was furious.  In the 60&#8242;s and 70&#8242;s, some Pediatricians instructed parents that a babe should be nourished no more than once every 4 hours &#8230; by bottle, of course.  At the time, breast feeding was not in fashion.</p>
<p>Breast feeding has no rules.  Some babes may fuss for food every four hours around the clock, some cluster feed through the day, or evenings, and then sleep soundlessly though the night.  My own babe was premature, by 2 months, and he nursed every 1.5 hours day and night for the first 6 months.  At the time, I thought I was going to loose my sanity, but my job was not to question why, or listen to schedules or even other parents&#8217; advice.  My job was to nourish Jordan as often as he felt he needed it.  He has grown into an amazing 15 year old teenager, almost 6 feet tall with size 12 feet, and he barely needs a weekly hug!  Some days, I&#8217;d secretly give a nickel to turn the clock back and share that level of intimacy with my beloved son.</p>
<p>Nursing, and nourishment, is hooked to our sexual organs.  Dr. Elsworth F. Baker, M.D., explains this phenomenon more thoroughly -&#8221;In the infant, contact with the environment is effected principally through the mouth, which at this time is a very highly charged, almost autonomous organ.  The mouth effects its own discharge of energy at its maximum point of intensity by means of a convulsive reaction which can appropriately be called the oral orgasm.  Many pediatricians, unaware of this, have made a diagnosis of infantile epilepsy when they observed this orgasm.&#8221;  What he is alluding to is that our babes use the breast to let go of pent up steam, or anxiety, through their mouths and if this capacity isn&#8217;t wholly nourished at this time, problems with food, sex and &#8220;saying&#8221; what&#8217;s on your mind can be affected later.</p>
<p>For babes who have good contact with a loving mother who is sensitive, warm and &#8220;alive&#8221;, the child will bond vitally with her, but also to his or her potential self as a warm, sensitive, autonomous, and &#8220;alive&#8221; sexual being.  As most of us know, nursing can bring on uterine contractions and it in some fortunate women, orgasms of their own, and if this arouses feelings of guilt in the Mom or she is genitally anxious, she will communicate this anxiety to the babe.  Resolving this schism, begun in infancy, is the area of treatment I specialize in.</p>
<p>I know this probably sounds like more than you bargained for with regards to simply nursing, but I will tell you why it is important.  If you will fast forward 30 years into the life of a babe that suffered a traumatic birth and did not receive the loving connection from the Mom through the aroused nipple you might be able to imagine that you are a fly on the wall in my medical clinic today.  You would see men and women cry with the pain and anguish of feeling abandoned, de-valued and despairing without being able to source out the cause.  If you watched one of my female patients mimic the sucking motion of the lips, you might gasp with wonder as they tell you they are experiencing the first genital sexual streamings (shivers of sexual yearnings) of their life.  One woman I treated actually had an orgasm!</p>
<p>Profound, I know, but it&#8217;s true that 80% of all emotional traumas are incurred before the age of 3 years of age.  All neurosis can be traced to blocked sexual energy.  The discharge never occurs.  We communicate so much more than just milk to our babies, in fact, most Moms will tell you that a babe suckles so very little in the way of volume that it is amazing to a lot of us that they even survive.  So, that that little bit of pus from the lymphatic system produced by the Mother on demand (milk is not actually stored in the breast) is enough to sustain a baby for up to 7 years if need be.</p>
<p>Rudolf Steiner recommends weaning a babe within the first 18 months of life, otherwise the babe will be subject to the Mother&#8217;s karmic baggage taking on such diseases as Cancer, Tuberculosis, Syphillis, etc. that may be coming down the family line.  Yes &#8211; these diseases still live within our genetic framework and can only be cured on the basis of the law of nature : like cures like.</p>
<p>Our babes actually need encouragement to healthfully separate from us so that they can begin their own journey to autonomy and freedom from us.  If all goes well, they should be packing up the George Foreman Grill and healthfully leaving for the frontier of their own lives by about age 21.  Most of us who&#8217;ve raised one of these sweet bundles of joy know that self-assertion starts as early as age 2 with a resounding &#8220;I do it!&#8221;  It is our job to pack in as much love and healthy intimacy with them between birth and the weekly hugs at 15.  It all starts with breast feeding!</p>
<p>We can celebrate this awesome adventure when we wholly cherish and nourish our babes with our whole labile, creative, loving and sensitive selves in the short time we&#8217;re offered this opportunity.  I recall the sadness I once felt coaching a new mom with inverted nipples and the Cancer state of mind.  Her breast did not display the vitalized, &#8220;alive&#8221; eagerness I&#8217;d seen in other Moms.  The babe was groggy for days after birth from the Oxytocin and I suggested she call in a La Leche league consultant.  They did eventually find their way, but it was a very tough go from the onset.   My hope is that we can resolve the issues now before that babe ends up in an office like mine 30 years from now.</p>

<dt class="wp-caption-dt"><a title="The Path To Cure - The Whole Art of Healing" href="http://www.thepathtocure.com"><img class="alignleft" title="The Path to Cure" src="http://arcanum.ca/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/ptc-cover.jpg" alt="The Path to Cure: The Whole Art of Healing" width="99" height="151" /></a></dt>
</pre>
<p>When my son, Jordan, was just a babe, I suffered from a lack of knowledge regarding his developmental milestones.  The problem was compounded with the fact that he was born almost two months premature and although I kept mentally correcting his biological age by two months, he wasn&#8217;t appearing to hit his milestones.  Also, being a first-time Mom, I had no clue what I was looking for as I&#8217;d never really been connected to many babbling babies or attuned to whether they made eye contact, or not.  I also had no clue, really, at what age these things are supposed to happen.  I knew my baby was special, but my veil of fear and grief kept me from seeing what was going on clearly.</p>
<p>Jordan also did something a little weird, he said the words, &#8220;that&#8217;s right&#8221; at about 7 months, clear as a bell &#8230; twice.  That was the first and last time I heard him speak for almost 2 years.  He crawled more at the one year mark, he poked his first teeth through the gum line at about 13 months and walked closer to 20 months.   The poor little mite screamed non-stop for the first six months of his life.  We called him &#8220;Le Miserable&#8221; and I have written my plight with my babe in greater detail in my book, <a title="The Path To Cure - The Whole Art of Healing" href="http://thepathtocure.com" target="_self"><em>The Path to Cure: The Whole Art of Healing.</em></a> I&#8217;ve been told by other Moms of developmentally challenged babes that reading my book has helped them by knowing how hard it was for Jordan and I.  A homeopathic dose, if you will &#8230; like cures like!</p>
<p>Below is a great short video from Howcast.com that will help you to identify the early stages of development and discern the early signs of Autism.  If I had such a tool when I was home alone in the suburbs struggling with my babe that never seemed to leave babyhood, I would have had more knowledge to address our needs.  At the age of four, we began Heilkunst Treatment and Jordan thankfully launched forward in his development by going back and picking up the pieces lost due to vaccine damage, birth trauma and a Genetic Miasm load that spawned the autistic condition we were all suffering.  I&#8217;m pleased to say that Jordan will be 15 next month and he is a beautiful, kind, bright, emotionally intelligent sportsman and musician.  His sense of humor is amazing!</p>
<p>If you watch the short video below, please let us know what you think and if it is a help to you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="&quot;Boys Adrift&quot; by Dr. Sax" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0465072100?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=arcawholclin-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=0465072100" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-362 alignright" title="Boys Adrift cover" src="http://arcanum.ca/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/boys_adrift_cover.gif" alt="Boys Adrift cover" width="250" height="377" /></a></p>
<p>I had the pleasure of pouring over this book over the Christmas break this year and I have since been recommending it heartily to patients.  More and more, I see youth come into my office with apathetic eyes and the feeling of being forsaken; especially in the boys.  The boys&#8217; parents are feeling paralyzed about what to do for them.</p>
<p>Sax attributes this shift to the the following five factors:</p>
<ol>
<li>Video Games:  studies show that some of the most popular video games are disengaging boys from real-world pursuits.</li>
<li>Teaching Methods:  profound changes in the way children are education have had the unintended consequence of turning many boys off school.</li>
<li>Prescription Drugs:  Overuse of medication for ADHD may be causing irreversible damage to the motivational centers in boys&#8217; brains.</li>
<li>Endocrine Disruptors:  Environmental estrogens from plastic bottles and food sources may be lowering boys&#8217; testosterone levels, making their bones more brittle and throwing their endocrine systems out of whack.</li>
<li>Devaluation of Masculinity:  Shifts in popular culture have transformed the role models of manhood.  Forty years ago we had &#8220;Father Knows Best;&#8221; today we have &#8220;The Simpsons.&#8221;</li>
</ol>
<p>In his book, Dr. Sax goes on to describe how the phthalates in water bottles contain estrogens and that the ecosystems around dump sites are indicating some very disturbing results.  For example, large numbers of male fish are starting to lose their &#8220;maleness&#8221; and their sex organs are starting to look a lot like female organs.  Also, similar studies have shown that alligators&#8217; testicles are shrinking.  This too has been linked to this phenomena.  Estrogen is softening our males, and turning them slowly into &#8220;girls.&#8221;  Yikes!</p>
<p>Our schools are also part of this grand phenomenon.  Well-behaved, pleasing girls are celebrated in school, where ill-behaved boys have been labeled with ADD, ADHD, and Autism is becoming epidemic.  We are seeing the results of an education system whose goals are to create female teachers while also making sports and gym class less accessible to boys.  Sax talks about how if you aren&#8217;t on the varsity team, there are less and less outlets to play sports simply for the fun of it.  Sax goes further to suggest that we need to educate boys separately and describes one classroom where the boys are even allowed to lounge about on the floor and in chairs as long as they are respectful of the teacher and the other boys&#8217; needs to learn.</p>
<p>Dr. Sax recognizes that video games are the one safe place that boys can exhibit their maleness without disrespecting society&#8217;s expectations that they remain suppressed and quiet in their attitudes and behavior.  My son, Jordan, said to me just last week, that he wishes the world was more like the game &#8220;World of Warcraft,&#8221; as life is so boring!  He added, &#8220;First you go to school and then you grow up and work, and then you die.&#8221;  His bleak summation hit home in me and I can see how his mentoring by other unmotivated young men has contributed to this state of mind.  I sadly see this same lack of inspiration or motivation in the youthful boys I serve in my clinic every day.</p>
<p>I asked Jordan what he loved about this video game that he has been playing of recent, as he has been too dizzy and sick to his stomach to go to school last week.  I know that he is stuck in a state of grief or the feeling of the &#8220;unlived&#8221; life.  He responded that he loves to do &#8220;battle&#8221;, find the treasures, and change himself into a more and more stealthy warrior.  When he speaks of the game, he completely lights up and his symptoms completely dissipate.  When I shared his enthusiasm for the graphics, and openly admired his strength and power, he zinged with excitement.  It was palpable.  When I walked by, he would excitedly invite me to see this new world he was in, which beasts he was fighting, and even his &#8220;hallowed soul&#8221; illuminated and floating about on one occasion when he was defeated.</p>
<p>This past weekend, I invited 5 boys to shovel a winter&#8217;s worth of horse manure out of the barn.  A heavy, distasteful job for most folks.  I could hear them laughing and kibitzing from about 300 metres away.  It was like the most beautiful exorcism.  The stories from their past experiences, the bawdy jokes, the self-teasing and the rapturous laughing was all in glorious good fun and it was loud and full of motivation!</p>
<p>The job was done in four hours, minus the huge plowman&#8217;s lunch I served them.  The barn floor was clean enough to eat off of!  It was a pleasure being with them and feeling their camaraderie being born on a task that needed to be done &#8230; even over the task of moving a couple of tonnes of horse manure.   Half the boys had never met each other before and they were fast friends by the time the day was done.  One lad was from Hungary on a 6 month tour of Canada.  And one of the other boys said &#8220;he sure learned a lot about Hungarians today!&#8221;  At lunch they talked about hockey in Canada and soccer in Europe and who their favourite players were.</p>
<p>Since my own son struggles with the structure of school and hates homework, I&#8217;ve made it my personal mission to figure out how to  craft an environment to suit his blossoming individuality &#8230; on <em>his</em> terms.  He does not remotely resemble the children of my youth &#8230; however, he does resemble me.  He is an autonmous thinker, he is motivated only towards what he loves, he is pissed off at the establishment, he won&#8217;t settle for bullshit, he can read states of mind like Clint Eastwood in <em>Fist Full of Dollars</em>, and he would rather be left to figure things out for himself.  The current education system totally botches this way of tactile learning at the time you hunger for it.  I know, as I failed 4 courses in grade 11!  This month, however, I am finishing my post graduate studies in what I absolutely love and am destined to be &#8230; Heilkunst Medicine extended by the insights of Anthoposophy (the study of Man) and Orgonomy (the orgastic reflex that powers him).  Yeah Baby!!!  There is no life like it.</p>
<p>I only hope that my son will also light up when he is ready.  I also spent years moody, and suffering the depths of my dark side, like some kind of spiritual training that only allowed for lift-off of my desire function in my late 30&#8242;s.  Maybe this is the plight of the modern individual and it has to be crafted in this way to achieve the heights and depths of true thinking, feeling and willing.  Certainly Rudolf Steiner and Wilhelm Reich agree that there is a mighty incubation period and horrible &#8220;guardians at many thresholds&#8221; before true orgastic potency and illumination can be achieved.  With the art of Medical Heilkunst, we are helping to shorten the distance to this end.</p>

<p>My friend and colleague, Helen Daniels, sent to me the most amazing video the other day.  When I saw that it was originally aired on Mr. Rogers, I did a double take.  It is one of the most beautiful depictions of mothers nursing their young that I have ever seen.  I have had the pleasure of knowing a small number of healthy, natural women who are completely in flow, relaxed and at ease with nursing their babes.  I have also been invited to help a small number of moms first latch their newborn in the initial stages of establishing nourishing wisdom.  It is indeed an act of love, pleasure and intimacy!</p>
<p>It is fascinating to perceive the process of nursing from an Anthropological perspective (the study of Man) as therapeutically, we&#8217;re finding a huge link between the way a baby is nursed and the sad potential for neurotic behavior, including over-eating, later on in life.  Wilhelm Reich recognized that musculo-emotional armoring was much more profoundly entrenched in folks that had not wholly been held and nurtured by loving mothers and fathers.  I&#8217;ve treated a couple of foreign adopted babes who were bereft of attention and their little bodies were stiff and rigid even at the tender ages of 2 and 4.  It broke my heart!</p>
<p>I have worked with adults who suffer obesity and with Reich&#8217;s medical orgone therapy, we go back and re-enact &#8220;the crib scene&#8221; by having the patient lie down and reach out beseeching, imploring and crying for their mother.  It is interesting just how emotionally available this primal need is still active in the present.  There is absolutely no surprise to us to hear patients crying in pain, even in adulthood, at not having been held, heard or fed, except on a 3-4 hour schedule; a pathetic and sad oversight on the part of rigid educators for new parents in the 50s and 60s.  One woman I treated, cried out while clawing at the sheets that she is turning into an animal and could devour anything if she got it.  This is key to the oral block that causes her gluttonous behaviour today as when she does access food, she still can&#8217;t get enough.  Sad, but true for many.</p>
<p>Patients with swollen adenoids, chronic sore throats, abcesses, or thyroid issues are also suffering from blocked oral energy that needs to be addressed by a medical system which understands all the causes.  Chronic loquaciousness or &#8220;over-talking&#8221;, perhaps typical of your spouse, or mother-in-law, is just a symptomatic pattern often stemming from not being wholly heard, nourished or honoured in early childhood.  Unfortunately, most drugs or psychotherapeutics just palliate or suppress further this armoring that seemingly cements the orally blocked energy behind beliefs and patterns that just keep repeating themselves.  By exorcising &#8211; and believe me, it can feel like a spiritual exorcism at times &#8211; Reichian therapeutics (Medical Orgonomy) actually engaged the patient with the hidden but living content to be able to liberate the root cause.</p>
<p>Typical old fashioned talk therapy just further engages the patient with their intellect while they talk it all out.  This approach is limiting, as the patient and Clinician are wholly dependent on what the patient can recall of the past from memory.  The intellect loves this, as it can only dwell in the past or project onto the future; it hates the present &#8230; especially the feeling.  The thing is that both patient and Clinician totally miss the proverbial boat as &#8220;the feeling&#8221; is the key to the release and remains locked behind the armoring and belief structure, never wholly liberated by all the yacking and intellectual looping.  In fact, the talk therapy is just prolonging the disease process and providing the illusion that content is being excavated, while both clinician and patient are seduced by the patterns of the past &#8211; they just end up going round and round &#8220;the feeling&#8221;, rarely causing a noticeable shift in the state of mind.  I know, because I treat a number of Psychotherapists!</p>
<p>As Heilkunstlers, we are typically able to dislodge the block in 3-4 visits with  a combination of  homeopathic medicine, regimen, and appropriate medical orgonomy techniques.  We bet Reich would be impressed with our results as he didn&#8217;t have homeopathic medicine at his disposal to cure the underlying disease states, or the capacity to simultaneously cleanse the bowel of all the unresolved &#8230; well &#8230; crap.  Yes, it is related!  We love that our therapeutics are nailing down this dimension for treatment; it is why we use the word &#8220;wholistic&#8221; to describe our clinic.  Where else can you go to get Naturopathy, Homeopathy, and Psychotherapeutics all under one shingle?  Or even with one clinician who knows and cares for your healing welfare en route to your path to cure?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="font-weight: bold" align="left"> My son has been studying U.S. history for over the last 6 weeks and last night he stood in the living room working on memorizing the first lines of the Declaration of Independence.  I was preparing supper in the kitchen within earshot and was so blown away by the first sentence that I dropped the broccoli and waited for Jordan to read the first line yet again.  This is what I heard come from my 14 year old with gusto:</p>
<p style="font-weight: bold" align="center">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="font-weight: bold" align="center">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="font-weight: bold" align="center">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="font-weight: bold" align="center"><a href="http://www.ushistory.org/Declaration/document/index.htm" title="The Declaration of Independence" target="_blank"><font size="5">I</font><font size="4">N</font><font size="5"> CONGRESS, J</font><font size="4">ULY 4, 1776</font></a></p>
<p style="font-weight: bold" align="center"><font size="4">The unanimous Declaration</font> <font size="2">of the thirteen united</font> <font size="4">States of America</font></p>
<p><img src="http://www.ushistory.org/Declaration/document/images/w.gif" alt="W" width="125" align="left" height="90" />hen in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature&#8217;s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.</p>
<p>Admittedly,  I&#8217;ve always felt I swam against the tide and as a kid, I declared to my parents, &#8220;I hate society and all of the stupid rules made by the government.&#8221;  Although I don&#8217;t wholly recall what provoked this tantrum of sorts,  I do, however, recall the feeling of frustration at being impinged upon by some ideology that differed from my own map of the world.  That feeling of injustice hit sharply against my my inner sanctity and striving for freedom.  These child-like dreams just became bigger and more intense as I grew into maturity.  And so did the magnitude of the injustices as I saw them.</p>
<p>Today, I received an e-mail from a local on-line co-operative group helping individuals to organize  car rides with one another from one destination to another, for nominal fees, has been banned by the government.  I also read, today, that the mystical Allopathic HPV Vaccine is now being touted to effectively treat the herpes virus expressed as genital warts in males even thought the strains don&#8217;t match and the CDC pointed this out some years prior.  Maybe when their penises fall off from all the drugs, we&#8217;ll all start paying attention.  Take a look at <a href="http://arcanum.ca/2008/01/21/hpv-adverse-reactions-and-what-are-the-options/" title="HPV Article on Options" target="_blank">my other article</a> on this result of bad science and pure greedy marketing.  I also heard today a glitzy little number advertised on the radio for the allopathic flu shot.  Folks can contact the City of Ottawa, their municipal government, for more details.  God help us, and all this in one day!</p>
<p>Then I recalled the words newly etched in my heart, by my son Jordan, spoken so proudly the night before.  He too possesses the same craving for his own sovereignty and freedom.  As our former Autistic spectrum babe, I will gladly &#8220;join in a band&#8221; with him and assume responsibility for myself in utter humility to the &#8220;powers of the earth&#8221;, and at this juncture, I would like to separate from the existing &#8220;political band.&#8221; I wholly align myself with the &#8220;Laws of Nature&#8221; and the God of Nature.  Be there not an ounce of separation!  I commit to declaring the causes that impel me to seek such a separation.  And I will declare them daily, and when really riled, hourly!  Here to forth, I declare my independence.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.historyofrights.com/assets/charter.jpg" alt="Canadian Constitution" height="150" width="200" />&#8230;&#8221;Unlike some countries, immunization is not mandatory in Canada; it cannot be made mandatory because of the Canadian Constitution&#8230; legislation and regulations must not be interpreted to imply compulsory immunization.&#8221;<em><font color="#008080">Arcanum:  Many Canadian individuals are under the false pretense that they are compelled to give their child required immunizations in order for them to be able to attend public school or preschool.   My son, Jordan, suffered vaccine damage and when I put my foot down and stopped giving him any vaccines after the age of 15 months, I signed a form </font></em>&#8220;<strong>Statement of Conscience or Religious Belief</strong>&#8220;<em><font color="#008080"> , had it signed by a </font><font color="#008080">person authorized to sign affidavits: notary publics, barristers or solicitors, a Justice of the Peace, a judge of the Superior Court or a designated Commissioner of Oaths and my son has successfully attended schools and camps without an ounce of trouble. </font></em>&#8230;If someone (e.g. employer or health ministry) decides to take away another&#8217;s freedom of choice, THEY should be the ones burdened with the responsibility of defending this &#8211; the burden should not be placed on workers to prove they are deserving of a right that the law already guarantees. The union should staunchly protect their rights &#8211; particularly since we are talking about a right engrained in The Constitution.&#8221;<em><font color="#008080">Arcanum: We have served many nurses who are enraged at their employers who insist on compromising their health as a result of imposing mandatory vaccines.  Their employers and unions need to do their due diligence with regards to hijaking another human being&#8217;s intrinsic rights and freedoms.  </font></em><em><font color="#008080">It is profoundly painful to work to mop up the medical havoc caused by compromised immunity from vaccine damage; chronic ear infections, pneumonia, bronchitis, and even unexplained paralysis are some of the after effects we&#8217;ve been contracted to address after vaccinations of Military and Hospital staff.  We know scientifically that these allopathic shots are the cause, because when we treat sequentially and when we hit the vaccines on the patient&#8217;s timeline, their health and immunity is restored, so don&#8217;t try and tell us that it isn&#8217;t the vaccines. </font></em><em><font color="#008080">Take a look at <a href="http://www.cmaj.ca/cgi/reprint/160/6/883.pdf" title="The Canadian Medical Association Features" target="_blank">Sgt. Mike Kipling&#8217;s</a> campaign to fight his employer, The Canadian Military,  after he suffered symptoms he feels were related to the Anthrax Vaccine.  He touts that individuals having received this vaccine suffer a nebulous condition they&#8217;ve called Gulf War Syndrome and that &#8220;informed consent&#8221; is a mystical construct used by this government body to try and protect the mandatory sledge hammer.</font></em>&#8230;&#8221;There is no compensation, by anyone, for anyone injured from the vaccine.&#8221;<em><font color="#008080">Arcanum: That is why it is important to ask for the lot and batch number and to track where each injection is administered.  We had a young girl live with us from Mexico one year who suffered an adverse reaction to a vaccine.  When we took her back to the Doctor two days later, they had lost her file, they did not know which arm the injection was administered, and they could not identify the batch or lot number so when we went to the trouble of reporting it to Health Canada, we didn&#8217;t have even a wooden leg to stand on.</font></em>&#8230; &#8220;Unlike some countries, immunization is not mandatory in Canada; it cannot be made mandatory because of the Canadian Constitution&#8230; legislation and regulations must not be interpreted to imply compulsory immunization.&#8221;<em><font color="#008080">Arcanum: Most individuals don&#8217;t know this.  When we lecture on the issue of Vaccinations, we are always asked the question, &#8220;Aren&#8217;t vaccines mandatory in Canada.  Won&#8217;t my child be denied an education if I don&#8217;t vaccinate?&#8221; As we said, you are one form away from freedom.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="storyheader">As soon as an advertisement for the HPV vaccine comes on the radio, my 13 and 9 year old children both reach to turn it off.  My daughter asks me, &#8220;Mom, how can the government support the poisoning of us girls?&#8221;  This is a tough question to  answer as a mother and as a Physician.  How do I tell my daughter that she is growing up in a matrix where the almighty dollar outweighs love, reason and integrity? How can I equip her to be a saavy consumer and still preserve her innocence and trust?</p>
<p>I admit that I&#8217;ve been angrily waiting for the statistics to come in on this HPV vaccine, and my collegues have been generous with their weekly stories about the ill effects on patients.  Dr. Mercola cites the following:</p>
<p><a title="Dr. Mercola HPV Gardasil Stats." href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2007/07/24/gardasil-reactions-and-deaths-on-the-rise.aspx" target="_blank">In May 2007, it was reported that over 1,600 adverse reactions, including three deaths, had been linked to Gardasil, Merck’s new vaccine for human papillomavirus (HPV).</a></p>
<p>Mike Adams also does a brilliant job of actually fleshing out the discrepancies regarding the FDA&#8217;s historical position on HPV in his article, <em>The Great HPV Vaccine Hoax Exposed. </em>Here, he proves unequivocally that the FDA has flipped it&#8217;s decision  to release Gardasil&#8217;s vaccine even though the test results are not wholly conclusive for it&#8217;s safety or efficacy and:</p>
<p><a title="Mike Adams Article" href="http://www.newstarget.com/Report_HPV_Vaccine_1.html" target="_blank">&#8230; since at least 2003, the FDA has changed its position on the<br />
relationship between Human Papilloma Virus and cervical cancer, stating<br />
that the HPV strain is &#8220;not associated with cervical cancer.&#8221; </a></p>
<p>And so, in the face of my daughter&#8217;s question, I would like to offer an ethical solution to treating the negative effects of the HPV vaccine and also show you how principled Heilkünst medicine can be used to  prevent the incidence of cervical cancer in young girls.</p>
<p>If someone has been given the vaccine and would like to &#8220;clear it from their system,&#8221; we are able to send in the nosode¹ of the exact vaccine and effectively eliminate it from their system on the basis of law, Like Cures Like.  This can be done  without causing any further harm to the patient.  We will also treat for the aluminum found in the vaccine which can enter the brain, as well as cause inflammation at the injection site leading to fatigue and chronic joint and muscle pain.  <a title="The Ottawa Citizen, Dec. 3, 2007, Marcotte" href="http://www.canada.com/ottawacitizen/news/letters/story.html?id=b7473436-ffa4-4b88-808b-3c3ae0e261bf" target="_blank">Gardasil contains 225 mcg of aluminum per shot</a>.</p>
<p>The other thing that we are able to do is treat the adverse effects of this vaccine.  Swelling at the site can be easily addressed using homeopathic remedies on the basis of <a title="Much Ado About Little, Verspoor" href="http://www.heilkunst.com/muchado.html" target="_blank">homogenic</a> prescribing.  Chronic joint and muscle pain is often alleviated by clearing the toxicity of the vaccine itself, however, the shock can also be enough to set off one of the genetic miasms² to rear it&#8217;s ugly head, so through a thorough diagnosis, a Dr. of Heilkünst Medicine will be able to discern if this is so and treat for it accordingly.</p>
<p>The other great thing that can be done by Heilkünst Medicine is to treat the cause of Cancer, cervical or otherwise, using this principled art of scientific medicine.  We do this effectively through therapeutic regimen, medicine and education.  I can say this outright as one who has had both breast tumors and cervical cancer and I was able to resolve this easily without any harm.  You can read about it in my book, <a title="EBook Mall" href="http://ebooks.ebookmall.com/title/path-to-cure-mcquinn-verspoor-ebooks.htm" target="_blank"><em>The Path to Cure: The Whole Art of Healing</em></a>, where I chronicle my experience with this disease.  I love that I am able to do the same for my patients and a month rarely goes by that a patient doesn&#8217;t express the same level of cure for themselves.</p>
<p>Heilkünst provides a map that enables the practitioner to effectively strip each of the emotional shocks and traumas incurred over the course of a lifetime.  It is a bit like a geological dig.  After the shocks and traumas are addressed, we can access the genetic miasms, there are 8 including Cancer, and eliminate the predisposition for the disease to spawn symptoms later on.  No HPV vaccine is necessary and we can not cause harm.  The patient gets to get on with their lives with great health, freedom and autonomy.  They get to &#8220;Be&#8221; &#8230; and I get to look my daughter in the eye.</p>
<p>1 <strong>A Nosode</strong> (Gr. <em>nosos</em>, &#8216;disease&#8217;, <em>eidos</em>, &#8216;from&#8217;) the potentized homeopathic remedy prepared from diseased tissue or the product of disease.  It can be used to prevent or treat a miasm or the associated disease of the tissue material or a miasm, as well as for many other uses.  J. Yasgur, <em>Homeopathic Dictionary</em>.</p>
<p>² <strong>A Chronic Miasm</strong> is passed on though the genetic code creating chronic disease symptoms.  These anchors indicate our romp through evolution and used to be infectious in nature.  Most people are thrilled to find out their OCD stems from Syphilis, or their chronic Bronchitis is anchored to Tuberculosis or their arthritis came from Gonorrhea.  Chronic Miasms can only be cured through lawful prescribing on the basis of Like Cures Like.</p>
