ACHS edu Homeopathy and Drainage Therapy Basics with ACHS faculty Dr Noska

hi everyone my name is Renee long one of the social media Specialists and webinar coordinators here at the American College of healthcare sciences and joining me today behind the scenes for all our technical needs is Dominic gello the other social media specialist and webinar coordinator here at ACS and today we'll be hosting a webinar from our Master lecture series each of these lectures features an expert in the holistic health field from the ACs faculty and it's my pleasure to welcome you to today's Master lecture webinar Homeopathy Basics with Dr Nolan NOA just a few items before we get started you may have also noticed that your line has been muted we are recording today's webinar and this helps ensure we can clearly hear our presenter you'll also notice that you have a control panel at the right hand side of your screen and if you have a question you would like me to write down for our Q&A at the end of the webinar go ahead and type it into the questions box um like I said we'll have a Q&A at the end of the webinar so if you have questions as would go type them into the questions box at the bottom of your control panel I will write them down and I'll read them to Dr noska at the end if you have further questions that require a bit more research please feel free to follow up with Dr nska directly at Nolan ns.edu and we'll post um that email address a little bit later um and he is happy to respond to all of your questions but please just be sure to give him some a little bit of time to get back to you and now I'll go ahead and turn the webinar over to Dr nska Who will give a brief introduction and then begin the lecture welcome Dr nska you should now have control of your of the webinar thank you Renee let me get this situated here okay uh welcome everyone first I'd like to thank Renee and thank Dominic with ACS for doing all the behind the scenes stuff to make this possible um it uh certainly wouldn't have happened without uh their hard work so I really want to appreciate them and um and thanks to everyone who uh decided to attend today of course if there were no people to attend um then there'd be kind of no point at of doing the webinar as well so thank you for all of you that showed up and um like you said I'm happy to answer your questions um in a timely fashion um if they are more extensive than what we can cover in this webinar see here okay So today we're going to be talking about um some Basics with Homeopathy um but also um the real application of using this medicine um so I chose this this name using energetic medicine in a toxic World um and we'll touch on it more later on today um but it's a really important Point um I I don't use that language flippantly um we live in a toxic world right I'm sure many of you um depending on what uh what place you are as students with um ACS um some knowledge of that or some understanding of that brought you to the more holistic fields of of medicine and um it's no more evident than in the world of Homeopathy because it is such a far cry from what um we're used to seeing in the medical realm right um it's it's about less and less not more and more um we live in a bigger better faster more world and um certainly American society uh response to that but um Homeopathy lives in the realm of actually less is more and in fact so small that you can't even um see it or um detect it almost it's it's working on a level that um is beyond uh beyond what we can measure um with our with instrumentation that we currently have um so it is one of the things that is so primarily uh important for a toxic world because it's something that small can actually get to the place where it can uh give the organism an advantage over all the toxicity that's coming uh coming into it okay so uh some main topics that we're going to discuss here um I'm going to talk a little bit about constitutional homeopathy versus versus what I primarily use in my practice which is um drainage which is sort of a colloquial term it's it's actually biotherapeutic drainage and I'll explain that when we get there um I want to talk a little bit about how these uh these types of Remedies these types of um medicines work with other Natural Therapeutics um maybe many of you listening uh have a very nominal understanding of Homeopathy or maybe no understanding of home Homeopathy but maybe you know herbs really well or um something in that realm or or Flower Essences or aroma therapy and Homeopathy is one of those things that falls right into that in in line with those um modalities it's just another modality it can work very well on its own it can also work very well with other Natural Therapeutics right and then of course like I touched on I'll keep coming back and back to um where the modalities fit in our toxic world and why why we may want to think about using them more um simply because of where uh where we're at in society okay a little bit about me um I am a naturopathic physician um I got a degree from the National College of natural medicine in Portland Oregon um there is extensive Homeopathy training um as a part of getting that degree being a naturopathic physician does not make you a homeopath they're not um uh they're not the same thing but Homeopathy is one of the modalities that I had extensive training in um as a component of my uh medical degree but it was mostly based in constitutional type um Homeopathy or at least that's what I was uh that's what I studied and that's what my board exams were um centered around um I did additional training as a student and in postgraduate years um with uh renowned naturopathic physician Dixon Tom who is a a very successful naturopath but also a dentist and um he's been practicing for over 40 years and uh I worked with him in biotherapeutic drainage and using biotherapeutic drainage as a component of chronic disease management for patients um the Dr Tom is certainly one of the lineage holders um for this medicine in America and certainly America on the west coast um most of the work that he has brought here was an offshoot of the writings and teachings of uh Gerard guno who is a French who was sorry he he's since passed um he was a French MD who really um took many of the things from biotherapeutic drainage and brought them into the real world um it's an older medicine in the sense that it started in the early 1900s and he uh sort of modernized it in a way um in the 60s 70s 80s and um Dr Tom sort of took some of that and has carried it over um in an American American sense and there are other doctors of course in America that use um biotherapeutic drainage and are part of the sort of lineage piece um beyond the works of Dr guno um so I'm GNA talk about um you know the basics for my education um but I'm also going to add my own philosophy of treatment um I think one of the things that is special about the holistic fields of medicine is that you can imbue you know the the practitioner can imbue their treatment with their own uh philosophical Notions and things how how I treat um is different than how my my cohorts treat and that's okay right I can't treat every patient and neither can they so the patients that really need me find me and um and and that's how we that's how this whole thing keeps spinning around right okay so let's talk about constitutional first and um some of you you know may be taking my Homeopathy course right now or you've taken a Homeopathy course in the past and um there's a lot of confusion right so I I want to clear a few things up and and straighten it out immediately um strict or true constitutional Homeopathy from the sense of how um Samuel hanaman set things out to be um starting in the late 1700s has a very clear set of tenants right um things that define how you use the medicine to treat patients right um and these laws are um I mean I guess I would say they're immutable um but the term Homeopathy is thrown thrown around a lot and it doesn't always mean the same thing so so uh sometimes people say Homeopathy and they may be referring to exactly what I'm pointing to here constitutional Homeopathy or they may be referring to something completely different that's not that um so constitutional Homeopathy um abides by these laws and there are many doctors who uh treat only through these laws right only treat with uh these laws in mind and um that's their guiding principle um I would say that I'm not really one of those doctors but I'm happy to discuss the merits of of all ideas here so let's look at these uh laws a little bit more in depth and find what it is that they actually mean um the first and probably in many ways the most important is the law of similars um which is better you know boiled down to like cures like um you know there's a lot of stories about how hanaman used s Chona bark and you know treating malaria and all these sorts of things and um certainly that's true but Hanan didn't invent that idea right um he he discovered it um on a more foundational basis with the herbs and remedies and things he was using but the idea of light cures like has been around for a very long long time uh in fact the um you know the two countries currently that have the most homeopathic doctors per capita I guess are India and Brazil and uh long before Hanan ever discovered the law of similars for himself and for the medicine um you know people in the country of India were using um the idea of like cures like um for lots of things and it's often used um in Eclectic herbalism as well um you know the the Native American Indians had um herbs that did a very similar thing so essentially what it means is that you're taking a small small small dose of the thing that has caused the condition right so um you know belladon is a very uh good example or easy example in this instance and some of you may know this remedy um it's a huge remedy in the Materia medicia for um Homeopathy um if all of us um you know were to sit down and chew a bunch of belladon um we would be poisoning ourselves and all of the uh symptoms for someone who needs belladon would be present in us from having taken a large dose of belladon um so symptoms like perhaps a high fever um perhaps a very flushed red face um a very acute quick acting uh type of symptomology these would all be um uh symptoms that we would see you know uh very um anything where the sympathetic nervous system is ramped up ramped up very high uh so-called veic symptoms um that was that would be what we would see if we took belladon um at a very high dose we see these symptoms in a patient not someone who took belladon but we see these types of symptoms in a patient say someone who's suffering from acute fitis we give them belladon in homeopathic form very very small and it sort of resets the organism it actually allows them to let go of all that symptomology they're they're no longer stagnant and stuck uh with that symptomology so I hope that that clears up a little bit of law of similars I'm sure uh people have a lot more questions about that and um you know if there's some afterwards we'll talk about it um it's the most confusing but also the most important uh law if you will the law of the single remedy um you know when when hanaman first started this was a a more clearcut thing um the idea of what does one at a time mean how far apart does one at a time mean does that mean one per day or one per hour or what does that mean well essentially what it means uh from for our purposes is uh I see the patient they come in to see me and they need belladon they don't need any other remedies I don't give them five remedies to take home and say hey take all five of these and see hope that something happens right um I give them B because that's the exact remedy that they need the most right that they're the most like and so um certainly later in his life um towards the the end of his career as a physician hanaman used um you know you take one remedy in the morning and then a remedy in the afternoon and a remedy in the evening um so this got a little bit more uh Loosey Goosey if you will as time went on and um the idea of when that one at a time where where do we make that that break um is not as clear but true constitutional Homeopathy states that you give the one remedy that's the remedy the patient needs right maybe they come back a month later and they need a new remedy but you gave them that one remedy to sort of shift them and move them to the next place they needed to go um law of uh infantes dose you you have to use the smallest dose amount for cure right you don't give the patient um a whole spoonful of it when a tiny little drop will do right you give them the potency and the amount that's needed for them to achieve cure um I'm not really going to go into uh potencies in this talk um it could be a whole talk in and of itself um there's there's entire volumes written about the difference between potencies and there's a of competing philosophies about um you know which potent potencies we should use and which we shouldn't and these types of things so um I don't want there to be too much confusion uh other than to say that really what we should be doing as practitioners is giving our patients just what they need to get better no more no less and um and that's kind of what that law means to me the most um the final law the law of direction of cure and you know to be honest I'm not totally sure um I don't really think that hanaman hanaman certainly abided by this law but I'm not sure he actually wrote it down he may have but my my history may be a little off there but um I typically refer to this law as herring's law um Constantine Herring was another famous homeopath um and uh has done a lot of work and uh in in the field and this law is typically attributed him to him um certainly what it means is as the patient's curing from their symptomology they're going to cure from Superior to inferior up to down um they're going to cure from the inside to the out right so things are going to come from their digestive system out through their skin right um more important to less important and in that sense it means organ systems right so if the problem is in their brain it's going to go from the brain to you know perhaps the the stomach right um if it's in the might move to um you know the spleen or something like that right a more important organ to a less important um certainly all the organs are important I don't mean to to uh debase the stomach or uh the spleen and say they're less important organs I'm sure the stomach insuline would be very upset with me if that were the case but um meaning we can't really live without our brain having you know good blood flow and oxygen and glucose um and you can't live without your liver right and the symptoms are going to go reverse order of appearance right so maybe the first symptom the patient experienced was um you know some skin trouble right but five years down the line now they have severe gastrointestinal problems and as they get cured the the the GI problems will go away and that skin stuff will return as they're curing um and and we do see that you know it's very common in things like asthma um eczema the sort of atopic Triad for for children we see that that reverse order quite frequently and typically children are easier to treat anyway and you see the symptoms more um pronounced and you see the change is more pronounced just simply because they have less junk in the way um treating children and treating pets um are often great ways to see Homeopathy in action because as adults you know we have a lot of garbage right we got a lot of of stuff in the way for us we have a whole life's worth of um emotional baggage and physical baggage and all these things and sometimes it's hard to sort of poke through all that and get to uh the thing that's most important right so so in short um constitutional Homeopathy is hard right that's the that's the the dirty truth and the most difficult thing to discuss about it is that it's very very difficult to become a skilled practitioner in excuse me it is very effective um I've seen it and used it in action um you know hundreds and hundreds of times and uh it's amazing and it's uh you know affectedness but it's limited somehow right one way it's limited is that you uh only get the one remedy so what if you mess up right what if um what if you are a good doc but you just you know you just choose the wrong one I mean I I don't want to make maybe darting playing Dart not darting but playing darts is the best um you know is the best uh reference here but you don't always hit a bullseye every time right maybe you hit right around the bullseye or you hit a little further out you still score points right but you didn't get exactly right on the nose and that's the problem with one remedy at a time is that um it leaves very little room for error right and and to get to a place where you have little error as a practitioner takes years and years and years and years of practice right so that's that's difficult um you know many many doctors that um trained me when I was a student um basically told me it's going to take you 10 to 15 years which is a long time right uh it's a long time to be practicing and it's a long time to make a bunch of mistakes um with Homeopathy and um you know I don't know what sorts of um you know practices any of the people listening plan on having but um you know my patients are not going to stick around with me for 15 years while I make mistakes they want to get better pretty quickly and and I want them to get better pretty quickly so um I'm trying to do whatever I can to help them get better fast right in the most um you know not necessarily fast but the the the best speed at which they can effectively do it right um like anything else that's been written down um you know religion would be a good example or um you know even some scientific thought there's a there's tons of competing philosophies right um you're going to hear people who say no hanaman said this and he meant this and the same person will take that same quote from Hanan and say no he meant this by that that quote right um you know things are translated and retranslated and um so that there they're a lot of philosoph are born out of that sort of competition for what is right but ultimately um you know they they're you have to find what's right for you as a practitioner and that also takes practice you know so what defines as true constitutional Homeopathy or what defines the true constitutional remedies you're going to see tons of um competing philosophies about that so don't get confused just try to use them as a guide to find your way through the medicine um you know I say over 3,000 potential remedies well that could mean 10,000 or 100,000 um it doesn't really matter the point is there's lots of choices right so if a patient comes in sits down across from you you have an hour and a half visit with them you ask them all these these questions they tell you all these things and you're narrowing down from you know 3,000 or 3500 or whatever it is to try and get to one that's a pretty tough job right that's a pretty tough thing to do because you have so many choices so it can be very daunting as a practitioner well maybe it's this one or this one I don't know well it's got to be one of these five and I really want to know which one of the five it is and you're trying to um narrow it down well there's lots of choice there and there's lots of confusion and that's another thing that makes constitutional Homeopathy very difficult to be skilled at doing so let's talk about um a different philosophy um that is in the homeopathic realm right but not necessarily or certainly not considered constitutional in fact some people don't even consider it Homeopathy um either to be disparaging of it or not um it it doesn't really matter what you call it um it is a therapy right it's a form of a form of um helping patients with energetic medicine so biotherapeutic drainage or drage um began in the early 1900s it sprung out of Belgium and um the doctors who put it together or started sort of combining these things you know really combined a lot of Phil philosophies here um they use the sort of western western eclectic herbalism that they were well steeped in um being in Western Europe um they used Homeopathy which pretty well um because they you know were in Western Europe and they also Blended some Eastern modalities um some ideas from uh you know Chinese medicine um even a little bit of Artic medicine and these types of things excuse me which makes um makes for an interesting sort of uh philosophical soup if you will or Melting Pot kind of idea so you have um Blended homeopathics in these uh remedies which consist of different herbs different Metals different different minerals Blended in specific recipes and they have different um you know potencies in there sometimes 6X or 12x or 10c um the the recipes were sort of devised um as they were putting this together which things worked best with each other and they have specific recipes and specific dilutions and these remedies focus on systems right they don't focus on symptoms there's no uh symptomatic approach you don't say well my patient has headaches so you give them the remedy that's for headaches it doesn't work like that um you take a step back from the patient you look at them holistically and you say what is out of balance here and then you try to treat that that imbalance right so the homeopathics are given to try and bring balance back to the organism and in doing so you really um you know help con the symptoms go away right you're looking at the systems you bring the systems into balance and the symptoms aren't there anymore because now you have balance and the thing that was causing this the symptoms are no present right one good thing about it and one difference is um at least with the type of uh drainage therapy that I use there's only 76 remedies right so you only have 76 to choose from so instead of 3,000 or 3500 or 10,000 or a 100,000 whatever it may be with constitutional Homeopathy you've got 76 which still is kind of daunting right you've got to know those 76 remedies pretty well but but um it's a lot better than 3,000 right it's a little bit easier um of course of those 76 you can still make almost infinite combinations so you can really treat anything um and help with anything so um I I want to be clear I don't have any stake with um unda soal or gestra it's not a company I own stock in I don't get paid by them um I'm not employed by them um I use their products um the this is the company that I use there are other companies that um that make drainage therapies um but when I learn a drainage and in my practice of using drainage uh this is the system that I use and often remedies are chosen in groups of three or groups of four so I'm using those three or four remedies to um dictate or tell me uh What uh systems need the most support with the body right so that's what I'm uh using those those uh remedies to show um often this is biotherapeutic drainage is often called uh using un numbers so you can see on there the you in da company um that's the company in Belgium that um you know was created to create all of these drainage therapies so um sometimes we just collectively call them un numbers because instead of giving the remedies a name like belladon or or whatever remedy um constitutional remedy as you may know uh the specific Blends that they made they just just call them by number not very creative but it's how they did it right so those numbers have stuck around and and um you use the numbers in groups of three or groups of four um and they SP they focus on the specific body systems um so again un is owned by un soyal gestra which is a um that uh bought un and now owns them and distributes them worldwide um we're going to look at a couple diagrams um and I think some of this will make a little bit more sense to you um when we look at the organ systems but um again I just want to be clear uh I use this specific system because this is this is how I was trained and this is what I've what I've uh gravitated towards working with my patients because it works the best for me okay so if you look here um this is a uh a body system I'll go back one page really quickly so we've looked at the diagram let's go back one page um a lot of what the diagram is based on is from anthroposophy which is a um you know medical philosophical system um really brought into Vogue by Dr Rudolph Steiner and um so some of his anthroposophy some of his thought about how the body develops is also imbued into how drainage therapies are used um so you can see the ages um based around what organ systems and how they're developing and the ages are basically saying oh this is how in this is when energetically this organ system is developing right so it's when the energy of the body is focusing most of its energy on making this happen right so for instance if a trauma takes place at age five right well it may affect the GI system because that's the time when it's developing but it may also affect the lung the cardiovascular the endocrine the nervous system it may affect every every system that is developing after that time right so a lot of a lot of times with patients I end up going backwards right we we start taking care of of balancing systems where they're at today right now and then we walk backwards and time to get to a place where um we can really look at these systems specifically and say hey that's where the the real trauma or the real damage or the real um instigating event took place and now we can start working on that so the body can remold itself in this new this new light right so nothing to get super worked up about but um it's a it's a way of looking at these body systems and how they're connected to each other right um oftentimes I'll look at things across the the diagram so for instance nervous system and kidney have a correlation to each other one being the first one being the last system and sometimes things that affect the kidney also affect the the nervous system heavily right so I may be trying to treat the nervous system by using kidney stabilizing remedies right um again I don't want to be too out of left field or confusing but uh it's one way to use this diagram to help support um body systems by looking at a competing system and saying oh that's the thing that really needs the most support okay so pros and cons I mean I've talked a little bit about the two um from where I stand you know neither of these philosophies is better than the other right they're just different um certainly uh my goal in teing students is to always help people find the thing that makes the most sense to them um I have many colleagues who don't do don't practice like me at all but their patients still get help their patients still get cure their patients still get Wellness so it doesn't mean that I'm right and they're wrong it means that um there's a lot of ways that we can help patients get better and you've got to find the philosophy and the treatment modalities that make the most sense to you um so I use both of these um in treating patients um I definitely use a little bit of constitutional I definitely use a lot of drainage and uh I feel like I need both of them because that's the philosophy that makes the most sense to me um when a patient really needs a single remedy I I I know they need that single remedy and I give them the remedy if I feel like they need more of the drainage therapies then we go in that direction okay so drainage and natural therapies together um yeah maybe U kind of silly but as I say in the first bullet there in short it's a good idea to use them together um I use um some neutraceuticals I use herbal medicine I use drainage therapies I use cell salts I use you name it right I use whatever's at my disposal to help patients achieve Wellness right whatever the patient needs that's what the most important piece is here right not I'm So Married To My Philosophy that I refuse to um try anything different or do anything else for the patient I just want to give patients um constitutional Homeopathy because that's how I do I I'm not really into dogmatic thought like that so uh I think it's a good idea to use all of these together in the way that feels most natural for you um I think that one of the reasons that we need um probably a combination of these things is we don't live in hanan's time anymore right it's not the late 1700s um the world is much more toxic much more polluted much more damaged than it was you know really since uh it's a start difference today in 2014 than it was even in 1914 right it's only only a hundred years and the world is a very very different place with um the amount of technology that has allowed us to uh you know change our food supply so heavily and pollute the water so heavily and all these sorts of things so you know haniman was uh really um he was very ahead of his time in saying that uh there should be you know you should have clean air and you should have clean food and you should water um the idea of germ Theory and and those types of things they did not exist in hanan's time he was one of the first Physicians that suggested that people should wash their hands um which was really unheard of at that time bloodletting and um other sorts of therapies sort of brutal therapies were the the name of the game in in the medical field and he was sort of a contrarian and saying maybe that maybe we should think about this in a different way maybe we should look at this from a different point of view and um truly we need those things even more today right we need the clean food and clean air and clean water we need all of those things um but I definitely use uh all of these together and if done correctly They Don't Really interfere with the action of Homeopathy or drainage remedies um I definitely have people take them apart from each other I don't have them throw everything into a glass and drink it all um but they don't compete um for wellness um in fact they can really really um advocate for each other if you will in the body sometimes it's good to throw the body a little bit off balance so it can bring itself back um another diagram that's really important I often show this to my patients so one of the things that makes um and and if you've had a class with me I'm I'm sure uh you're familiar with this term and we talk about it one of the things that makes drainage therapy so powerful is the fact that they work on our amares and the amares are what we see here right our lungs our kidney our our GI um our liver our skin um the Ames are the organs of elimination in the body right and we've got to um we've got to improve the ability of those uh organs to let go of the toxicity that they accumulate on a daily basis right so you can see sort of the spigot on the lower left side of the bucket right we've got to open up that spigot and allow things to drain out right or we've got to really work on making sure that not you know less toxic stuff is being shoved into the top of the bucket there right otherwise it's going to spill over and when it spills over that's when symptoms are present right that's when symptoms show up when it's spilling over with toxicity that's when the body can't handle it anymore and now you have all these these symptoms and the symptoms may be as simple as oh I have some eczema or it may be oh now I have seizures all the time right we don't know what those symptoms are going to be because it's very unpredictable once the bucket starts spilling over right we don't know which direction the toxicity is going to spill out of so un numbers and drainage therapies and Homeopathy and Herb hers and aroma therapy all these things are focused on trying to help the body get rid of these things better but I haven't found anything that works as exquisitly well as drainage therapies um and helping the amares open up and drain right so um this sort of diagram wasn't needed back in the late 1700s right you it wasn't as toxic of a world you could give someone a homeopathic remedy and they would respond pretty dramatically nowadays people don't respond that way unless they're really their body is really ready for it at least not in my experience um so again like I said um I want to do two things when it comes to aeres I want to improve the body's ability to get rid of toxicity right and I also want to eliminate the extra toxicity that there that's coming into the body so we've got to talk about about diet we've got to talk about nutrition we've got to talk about their water quality and the air quality and all these sorts of things right I want less toxicity coming in and more toxicity leaving and uh if we can do that then I have found in a vast number of patients symptoms just start going away um so most Natural Therapeutics focus on improving a monry function somehow on some level where whether it's metabolic or it's um you know true physical more organic um changes uh Natural Therapeutics tend to focus on this right so uh my main focus is helping patients improve with uh lungs skin GI kidney body systems with their daily activities so part of my treatment plans involves some of these things right what we call the btg's and btg stands for basic treatment guidelines um so everybody gets a basic treatment right and their basic treatment starts with things that I would give every single patient for the most part regardless of what their condition is deep breathing exercises and castor oil packs which I'm not going to go into um making sure they're drinking the right amount of water they have a good diet they're they're taking um the right amount of fish oil a good dose of probiotics you know maybe some vitamins and minerals if they need that something they're doing on a daily basis to help improve um the basic ability of these amares to function in general um all of the drainage therapies improve some am function it's not true across the board of the 76 remedies but most of them focus on the uh detoxification of certain of the cells in whatever system that you're focused on right and these other um these other tactics help that too um you know a lot of people think uh oh well supplements are not bad for you I'll just take as many as I want well really in my practice I see patients take way too many supplements as well and you take 15 supplements a day it's not that much different than taking you know eight drugs a day um the side effects may may not be as bad but it's just as clogging and toxic for your body so I'm trying to get my patients to take less and less stuff not more and more stuff so um I've touched on all these things a little bit but to to sort of bring it back home um we have a much more polluted world now we have a much more toxic world and we need a more effective solution to um help that less toxic you know let the person rise out of the toxicity a little bit more um and so drainage is the thing that I've used to help patients get to that place um we improve Amun function we eliminate cellular waste right and once we do that right once we clear the cobwebs I can see more the true patient right I can see them for who they really are I can see their constitution better I can see how they respond to things better I can see the true person and when I can see the true person Homeopathy becomes a lot easier right I'm not chasing symptoms around a tree uh I can look at them and I can talk to them and I can see how they respond and I can really see what remedy they are right I know they need or I know they need silica because there's no more of this garbage in the way of seeing the true patient right so uh we can get rid of all those sort of um consequential pathological States and we can see what the true pathology if any exists underneath and uh that's why I feel like drainage is so much more functional in the toxic world that we live in um so thinking that we don't have um a polluted internal world because the external world is polluted is kind of silly um we are breathing this air we are drinking this water right we are um in an environment where media and consumption of media is is rampant right so we have all of these things sort of spinning around us and we've got to do something to protect the internal environment from the external World somehow right so many practitioners I know um use other things besides drainage therapies to achieve this protection um I know many very very skilled herbalists that only use herbs and um they go about um achieving this in in by using herbal medicine right um some people use combination homeopathics some people use um you know cell salts for instance um there's many many uh roads to Ram here so uh I I don't mean to imply that the way I do it is better than anybody else um but nothing I have used in my practice helps do I see such an improvement in a mon function in patients other than drainage therapies it's the thing that I've seen be the most effective but um that's you know that's just me so I think that we can use Homeopathy if we can find a way to find the true patient right I think we can use Homeopathy very effectively if we can get rid of this toxicity and that's the that tends to be the thing that's sort of in the way right it's the it's the barrier to Good Health okay so I am uh at the point where I think it's probably a good idea to um leave the floor open for some questions um I know I talked about a lot of information today and I don't um I don't want anyone to feel like I I went through things super super fast um but um it you know this this could probably be 50 webinars we could do a an hourlong webinar um every week on all of these topics and still would have more to cover so um we're trying to uh pack things into a shorter space and I wanted to give a good overview of how I see patient care and how Homeopathy you know where the rubber meets the road really uh where Homeopathy fits in in uh a true holistic practice so thank you and uh I guess Renee give out some questions now or we'll we'll get those answered for you sure uh thank you so much Dr nsia that was extremely interesting and very very thorough so um hello hi sorry are you able to hear me at all I you were cutting out there for a second but now I can hear you okay so just uh pop back in if I'm having any uh audio difficulties I was getting the signal from Dominic that um that he couldn't hear me so yeah yeah okay perfect okay um so we do have quite a few questions um I'm going to start with the first one this was actually emailed in right before the webinar um so this question comes from jacquelene and she would like to know I wonder if do Dr Nosa would recommend any books in particular if we wanted to learn more about Homeopathy I would also appreciate recommendations on two on one or two books on Chinese medicine um okay yeah can I can help you there um I think there's an excellent book um that's sort of a a primer on um what Homeopathy is about and and I don't know all the author's names but I do know the names of the books um uh the Homeopathy text I would recommend is called Flat Earth medicine and um I can't remember the author's name so I apologize for that um but uh it's a very short book a really quick read and um he talks about using Homeopathy and sort of what the the basics of Homeopathy are I really like that book um you know Homeopathy texts are difficult um certainly the organon uh o r g n o n which is sort of the Bible of Homeopathy was written by haniman but it's kind of like reading a u manual for putting a stereo together it's it's very dry um and it's hard to make heads or taals of so um it it is the definitive text but it's also going to be very difficult to read um but I think there's um Materia Meda out there um fak p a t a has a Materia Meda um Constantine Herring who I referenced in the The Talk he has a number of texts you go and you you start looking at um some of the older docs that practice Homeopathy there's a lot of text out there you just have to sort of look for it um and as far as Chinese medicine is concerned I think um there probably no easier to comprehend text than a book called the web that has no Weaver um and I I don't remember the name of that author either um it's a little bit thicker of a book but it's very easy to read and he really makes a lot of sense of Chinese medicine um I think it's a great first step you know first foray into Chinese medical thought absolutely wonderful those are some um wonderful suggestions thank you uhuh so our next question uh comes from Elizabeth and she would like to know what are the differences between the different types of dilutions for example 1 M 1X 1 C doses yeah so the the um like I pointed out in the the talk I wasn't going to go into much Homeopathy potency um ideas because it's it can be a very long topic but essentially the uh the letter designation is Roman numerals for how many dilutions there have been uh so for instance if you have a mother tincture which we would call sort of patient zero or the the starting point if you make a if you take um One Drop of that mother tinure and you add it to 99 drops of water right and you shake that up and you make a remedy and then you use that um as a remedy basis that would be a one C remedy it's it's one 100th of the original substance does that make sense and then uh One X X would be 10 right um and then m is uh a thousand right I can't remember the the Roman numerals as well um but you make uh remedy so if you did that again right you took one drop of that one C remedy that you made and you added it to 99 drops of water and succussed it and did all of the potentized you would then have a 2C remedy right so very commonly um remedies are given in 6C 12C 30C uh 1 M 200 C so you can see how very very small um the dosing of Homeopathy is in comparison to what we understand as medicine like 100 milligrams of ibuprofen or something like that right um it can't even be measured in milligrams it's so infantes um it's working on a different level great uh thank you that was a really good explanation I know I'm I'm not super familiar with Homeopathy so it helps to to have those dosages explained than so thank you sure um okay so Clayton would like to know if is it possible if we could see those two diagrams one more time um just have those flash up on the screen um yeah I can go I don't I can't control I don't know if I can control it oh let me see um okay there's the first um and again I these came from Dr Tom's text uh which is called un numbers and energetic uh journey to homeostasis and wellness and um you can certainly purchase his book um I think it's a great uh initial primer on um using drainage therapies um it's a text I refer to frequently um and probably will for the rest of my career so it's uh another good book that I mean it it talks a little bit about traditional Homeopathy but it's more focused on drainage therapy so um you know it could be a little too in- depth for the the novice but um I'm sure someone might want to jump out there and and uh and and take the plunge if you will so there's that one then um oh sorry and there's the the the bucket uh the body bucket diagram as well wonderful and also Clayton um we will be sending out the slides as well with along with the video recording so you'll be able to reference um back to these as well um so so our next question comes from Linda and she would like to know can you use the same methods for pets and animals um can you use the same method as far as I guess I need some more clarification there um as far as using Homeopathy with pets um so Linda if you're still if you're still listening if you want to clarify uh do you specifically mean Homeopathy or perhaps uh drainage therapies or if you wanted to um specify which methods you're you're um asking about that would be great um yeah I mean I'll I'll answer it based on the the thought process can you use Homeopathy and drainage therapies with pets and the answer is of course yes um there's a lot there's actually a number of um you know Homeopathy for dogs and cats I think that's actually the name of a book um uh that I've I've read in the past I don't own one currently but um at least I don't own a book on homeopathic remedies for dogs and cats but um it's used frequently um I use it with my own dog all the time so yeah and if she wants more clarification Wonder uh oh oh can we still hear you Dr Dr I'm here I'm here I think you cut out oh there you go okay sorry I thought we lost you there for a second yeah yeah okay um yes and Linda clarified and she did say yes Homeopathy and drainage therapies and and the answer is pretty a pretty simple Yes wonderful um so jacine also wants to know where did you learn how to use castor oil packs uh where did I learn how to use castor oil packs uh well I I I learned how to use them when I was in medical school um I I guess that's the the short and sweet answer um but um you know in looking at how do we improve the functionality of the body um we've got to do something that is you know a lot of people equate Health to um walking up a staircase right you know as you're as you're walking you're getting healthier and healthier which is a pretty good analogy but I I I think it's a a bit shortsighted I really think health is more of like a downward escalator that you're walking up and if you're not doing something actively to get healthier and to improve your health you're actually going downward and so um I like to think of these things that I tell patients to do um as part of that part of their ability to be walking up the escalator more effectively and and C oil packs are certainly one of those things but yeah I mean there was a discussion of C oil packs um many many times while I was in medical school wonderful um okay so I think we have time for about one more question but if we didn't get to your question today everybody um feel free to follow up with Dr NASA or you can follow up with us and depending on if we receive a lot of questions um Dr NASA's expressed that he would do another Q&A session another t uh live t seminar if if we have a lot of um more questions so just uh let us know if you have any interest in that and we'd be happy to um set that up so our last question comes from Heather and she would like to know essential oils cancel out homeopathic remedies but not drainage remedies how would you dose essential oils in homeopathics and drainage that's a great question and um I I don't I think having a blanket statement that essential oils cancel out homeopathic remedies is is probably untrue or um only partially true in the sense that um if you take them together at the same time it's probably not a good idea um because you don't want to have all those competing things sort of inside the mouth or on the body in the same place at the same time um but if you separated them uh in time and and by that I mean you know 20 minutes even um the likelihood of them having a competing activity in the body is is very nil so uh I I don't think that essential oils um completely cancel out homeopathics um but I do recommend that people take homeopathics and drainage therapies and you know if it's something like an essential oil or even um straight herbal medicine apart from each other um I tend to recommend to my patients that if they're doing un numbers or some type of drainage that they take them five to 10 minutes away from everything else right and that may mean that they also need to take another thing five to 10 minutes away from everything else not to turn their whole morning into taking something and then waiting five minutes to take the next thing that that can be kind of annoying but uh you've got to set up a system where you're taking things apart from each other and still um achieving the best goodness from each specific modality so um they are they can compete with each other but I think if you do it in the right way they don't compete with each other great that's a a wonderful clarification um so like I said everybody if you if we didn't uh get to your question please feel free to email us or email Dr nska um and we're going to put his um email up there on the screen um I can I can move that to the last page there okay oh I think we uh I think Dominic just put it up so I think it's it's all good up there um and so thank you everybody for attend attending our webinar and thank you so much Dr noska that was incredibly fascinating and I feel like I've learned a lot I wasn't um very aware of
