Transformative Therapy – A Patient Success Story

I’m so grateful for you, Allyson, truly. One of the things I most value (in almost every context!) is others’ willingness to be brutally honest and to offer real, juicy truth and criticism. One of the amazing things about Heilkunst as I see it, is its combination of treatments and the kind of talk therapy and mirror-holding that you’re so amazing at facilitating, Allyson. The last session I had with you was utterly brutal, and totally transformative. Thank you.

Greatly Benefitted from Homeopathy

For over a decade, I have been taking a homeopathic remedies, and have greatly benefited from them, both physically and mentally.

The kind of homeopathic remedies that I have been taking is Heilkunst, and I have been receiving these remedies from Arcanum Wholistic Clinic.

Before I started taking homeopathic remedies, I had Asperger’s Syndrome and also a lot of very severe allergies.

I am 60 years old now, and what prompted me to start homeopathic remedies was the fact that I lost one job after another, even after being taught what things are appropriate to do and say on the job, because I was unable to do things fast enough.

In 2003, the job coach at the time decided to have a professional assess my thought processing, and it was because I was losing one job after another because of not being able to do any of them fast enough. When we got the results of the assessment that was done, we were told that I would never be able to do any job that requires speed because I was unable to process information fast enough or to multitask. These professionals didn’t think that anything could be done to make my thought processing any better. However, I hoped that something could be done to make it better, and, soon after that, I found about an allergy elimination treatment called NAET, so I gave that a try. After a number of NAET treatments, my allergy symptoms got somewhat better. However, with NAET, I had to have a separate treatment for each allergy, and with so many allergies to eliminate, I would need to have an awful lot of NAET treatments in order to eliminate every allergy that I had. A little bit later, I found out about a professional in Ottawa who was doing Heilkunst treatments, and so, I decided to started getting Heilkunst treatments from him, and I am very glad that I did. I started Heilkunst remedies in 2007, and I have been getting better gradually since then (both physically and mentally). To be honest, I have had to have an awful lot of Heilkunst treatments before my health improved an awful lot. Every little bit of Heilkunst treatment made me a little bit bit better, but I needed an awful lot of it before I was a lot better. However, without Heilkunst, I probably would have never gotten any better at all.

When I started having homeopathy, what I cared about the most was something that would improve my thought processing, especially since job opportunities are very limited for you if you can’t do things very fast or process information very fast. I really appreciate less severe allergy symptoms as well, but when I decided to give homeopathy a try, what I cared about even more than eliminating my allergy symptoms was making my thought processing speed faster, so that I would hopefully, be able to do more of the jobs that are available.

Another thing that I have noticed since I started having homeopathy is that I am able to relax more easily and I don’t get excited as easily. And nothing makes me smirk or giggle as easily as a lot of things I did in my pre-homeopathy days. Even if I think about something that is very silly, it no longer makes me smirk or giggle as it did in the past.

As for how fast I can process information, I think that it is much better than in my pre-homeopathy days. From 2008 to 2016, I had a job with a charitable organization on which I called people up to tell them about upcoming pickups for used clothing and household items. Unfortunately, however, they cut my hours (and those of my co-workers as well) apparently because of declining demand for that kind of work. I left that job when I got a job that gave me more hours somewhere else. Unfortunately, however, that job ended after only 6 months, and it was the first sales job I ever had, and after doing that job for 6 months, they came to the conclusion that sales jobs are not the right fit for me. In the 2 years since that job ended, my goal has been to work as a filing clerk. However, I was told by a job counselor that employers want people who have had recent experience in filing, and at that point, I didn’t have any recent experience in filing. For that reason, I have been trying to gain experience in filing and data entry by doing it on a volunteer basis. I have been doing data entry work on a volunteer basis at a local community centre for about a year now, and I really enjoy doing that kind of work. And the people whom I am doing data entry work for (on a volunteer basis) are very pleased with the data entry work I have been doing for them.

Grown By Leaps & Bounds; A Patient Success Story

I have grown by leaps and bounds since this testimonial, and Heilkunst as a medium for education and remediation continues to blow my mind wide open. I hope I never become so overwhelmed by material things that I lose my sense of wonder and awe in Heilkunst. It is and always will be a dynamic miracle for my own existence. Amazing things happen with my magic dropper bottles – not having taken an antibiotic in over 14 years comes to mind or having pneumonia every single year for a lifetime, sometimes twice yearly, once in the summer months god forbid, and suddenly recognizing I haven’t had pneumonia for 5 years! The lists I can make are astronomical and very satisfying – I will always toot Heilkunst’s horn. It is amazing!

How Can Homeopathy and Heilkunst Help My Child? (Autism Success Story)

balance_massage_in_thyme

“How can homeopathy & Heilkunst help my child?
Heilkunst is an approach to treatment that combines the best of regimenal measures (diet, detoxification, etc.) and medicine, all based on the principles of natural law. While any substance can be used to have an effect (usually to remove a symptom), this does not mean that it is being used properly, that is, according to the laws that nature ? has set down. We are products of nature and any treatment must ultimately follow natural law principles. If not, it is acting only ?? palliatively (temporary relief) or ?? worse, suppressively. If the symptoms are suppressed, the cause of the problem is not removed and the symptoms may return or the cause goes underground where it will cause other problems in time.

The core of Heilkunst is an approach to identifying and then removing the underlying causes of autism and other behavioral conditions using a rational, natural and systematic, sequential treatment. The use of medicines that are non-toxic, non-invasive and curative of the underlying shocks gives it a high degree of success. While each case is unique, significant improvement including removal of the autistic and other behavioral condition in cases where nothing else seemed to be working.” ~ Miranda Svitak, L.M.T., Balance_Massage_in_Thyme #heilkunsthomeopathy #heilkunst #natureismedicine #autism #autismawareness #autismfamily #recovery #healingautism #health #alternativemedicine #success @arcanumwholisticclinic #thankful

Lisa’s Natural Birth ala Heilkunst

Our baby, Seamus is our “opps baby”. The pregnancy was a bit of a surprise since we weren’t trying and both of us are 44. We both have been in treatment with our Heikunstler (and I am a Heilkunstler in training) for over 15 years, eat organic and try to live a healthy lifestyle so getting pregnant easily should have been no surprise since fertility and health go hand in hand.

My pregnancy was routine and uneventful and I did remain active throughout it – down hilled skied until I was 20 weeks, biked until 30 weeks and hiked until 35 weeks, this was on top of taking care of my two other boys (13 and 8 yr olds) and a female Newfoundland puppy. My last baby was born at home, and I planned a home birth for Seamus as well.

I went overdue, a new experience for me as both of my other boys were born at 39 weeks. As I approached 41 weeks with an OP position (posterior) I started taking homeopathic remedies to help turn my baby, along with seeing my acupuncturist and chiropractor. My labour started (literally) with a splash when my water broke all over our family room floor at 10:30 pm on a warm summer night. I called out to Doug but he was putting our youngest to bed and didn’t hear me, so my oldest son, told him my water had broke and I needed some towels. He ran downstairs with our “good” towels which I refused to use and frustrated him since he wasn’t concerned about what towels we used – he did go up and get different towels. He seemed more panicked than I expected and when I asked him what was going on, he replied that the last time my water broke, I had delivered within 15 minutes. Once I explained to him that I had been in active labour for a few hours then, and that this was the start of this labour, he settled down and we both laughed about the misunderstanding.

We put our boys to bed, who wondered if the baby was coming soon and we told them that it could be hours yet. At 11:00pm, I called my midwife and as there was no active labour pattern, she told me to try and get some rest and call her when labour had established itself. Doug and I chilled out in our bedroom – it was a wonderful restful, intimate time as we chatted and relaxed. Contractions started at 11:30pm (it should be noted that we were so relaxed that Doug dozed off while timing the first few contractions. LOL) and by12:30am they were becoming uncomfortable, so I asked my midwife to come and got into my tub to get some relief.

Our midwife and doula arrived at 12:45pm and my contractions were 3 minutes apart and were lasting 1 minute. At this point things went fast, and got blurry as I quickly dilated (my midwife did not do any internal exams – she usually doesn’t do them as she can usually tell how quickly a woman is dilating by observing her). I can remember feeling some fear as my contractions got more intense and asked Doug to write out a paper remedy for aconite which took care of it instantly. My doula and midwife were amazing using comfort methods between contractions such as ice cold cloths on my shoulders, giving me ice and water (at this point I wanted nothing to eat) and lots of encouragement, especially when I hit transition and decided that I didn’t want to have a baby after all. LOL. Doug was a rock star went things got tough for me, helping me in and out of the tub, keeping me reassured when I felt I couldn’t do one more contraction, and letting me squeeze whatever parts of him I had a hold of during contractions. I had assumed a half squat in my tub and it was suggested that I move around more but after changing positions, I quickly realized that I had naturally assumed the best position for me and quickly went back to it and stayed in that position until I was fully dilated – a great example of my body knowing what is right for it when left alone to follow its own guidance.

I started pushing at ~2:35am and started to lose control for a moment with the tremendous forces urging this baby down. My midwife quickly reminded me that this was a big baby and if I didn’t go slow, I could tear. I listened to her and put every effort into relaxing and letting my body move the baby on its own. At this point I was lying back in the tub and Doug was supporting my upper body. As Seamus was moving down, I could feel my hips shift slightly to accommodate him and within 10 minutes he was crowning. He had turned during labour from OP to OA (I had been doing paper remedies of Kali-carb throughout labour to help him turn) and once his head was out, I took a two-minute break while waiting for the next contraction – my midwife said he was rotating his shoulders underneath the public bone during this time. This seemed like a long time for Doug who initially worried about our baby’s head being out under water for such a period of time, but my midwife assured him, that baby was fine and was being given oxygen through his cord. I didn’t want to push anymore at this point (not that I had done a lot, as my body had done most of it without any effort on my part), but my last contraction took over and with one push, Seamus was born at2:50am.

He gave a little cry and quickly settled on my chest. Heated towels were put around him while we relaxed in the tub waiting for the placenta to detach. The cord stopped pulsating after 15 minutes so Doug cut it and my placenta was delivered 15 minutes later (actually I stood up and after the smallest of pushes it fell out). I had no tears from the delivery which was great seeing that he was our biggest baby weighing 8pds, 7 ounces. Seamus was peaceful and alert after the delivery and Doug and I spent the rest of the night/morning relaxing in bed with our new baby (I did a paper remedy of arnica to help me with my recovery).

My recovery was very short as all soreness had left within 24 hours of the birth (I also took birth remedies after the delivery), and all bleeding at stopped 4 days after delivery. I had my placenta encapsulated and started taking the capsules 5 days after birth. Breastfeeding is going well, and I’m feeling great. ~ By Lisa Power

John’s First Day of 2nd Grade … Gaining Ground Out of the Spectrum

*Please note that John’s mom brought him in for treatment of autism related issues 19 months ago.

“I just had to share this picture of John this morning. He is in shorts with buttons that he hasn’t been in over two years and he likes to have his hair done and spiked with gel which previously was also a huge sensory issue. This is a little boy who would never look at the camera and didn’t have many words prior to Dr. Ally’s care. Thanks again!!!! We have come a long way in two years. I look forward to watch him change and progress. I will be forever grateful to your clinic for this!
Here’s to another successful school year and another year with Arcanum!”

Sincerely,
One proud mama

Graves Disease Resolution … a Success Story

I wanted to share this because “alternative” therapies are never given the respect that they deserve.

Back in December of 2015, I was diagnosed with an auto-immune and “incurable” condition,Grave’s disease, which affects the thyroid with pretty debilitating symptoms, including chronic fatigue (which led to muscle weakness), insomnia, heart palpitations, night sweats, irritability, radical and drastic internal temperature changes, shaking/tremors in my hands to the point where I could not hold up a fork to feed myself, or hold a pen to sign my name, menstrual hemorrhaging (which led to anemia, low iron and hemoglobin levels, and low energy levels), memory blanks, depression, and itchy skin. Instead of losing weight, which usually happens with Grave’s, I gained 25lbs. in a matter of a few weeks, which in rare cases, happens.

I was hesitant to try traditional meds because the side-effects were too damaging to the liver, without any guarantee that they would work. Plus, I would only be able to take those for up to 2 years max, due to their high toxicity. However, I promised my doctor that I would take them as prescribed.

I’m also a firm believer in attacking the “source” vs. the symptoms, and decided to complement traditional medicine with naturopathic supplements (for symptoms), as well as, homeopathic medicine to get to the source, even if their effects took longer. So, I started naturopathic and homeopathic treatment in December 2015 and conventional medication in February 2016. I also decreased my stress levels to zero and tried to exercise by walking every day, despite the chronic fatigue. By March, I was able to resume my full-time working hours.

After only one month of conventional treatment, I was symptom-free and the doctor had to cut the dose in half because my thyroid levels were on the low side of normal. A month later, they were still normal, so I only had to take them 2x/week and in June, I should be in remission.

The doctor, who was shocked at the results, said, “I hope you don’t think your alternative fluff had anything to do with it”, but considering that none of the healthcare practitioners has ever seen a Grave’s case go into remission in such a short period of time, I know it had everything to do with it. The naturopath actually said, “What I usually see is thyroids being removed in most cases”.

Also, as a side-effect from the homeopathy, I haven’t had to take one single anti-histamine this Spring, after suffering from severe seasonal allergies since my teens. The barometric pressure headaches, which I used to get every time it rained and were as painful as migraines, also decreased to a mild feeling of pressure and completely pain-free.

I’m elated! Thank you, Allyson! I love having you as part of my healthcare team!
