Irish Homeopaths Serving the Homeopathic Community in Ireland

And with an updated design too. The week before the Conference, the site's database hiccoughed and threw out the permissions for just anyone to look at the content. This has been fixed now and this site's CMS, Drupal, upgraded to the latest version.

That's why we're sporting a new look, too. With Drupal's default theme, Minelli.

May and June are the traditional exam months whether at School or College. After years of study these exams bring about, for example, the completion of childhood and adolescence and or passport to a new stage in life. Whichever, a time of CHANGE. A time of anxiety and even fear at one extreme and elation at the other.

Sometimes one should ask for whom is the problem greatest, student or parent? These dilemmas can stir up deep emotions and it can be these very emotions that can be the motivation to success or disaster.

Take a look at the situation within your family and it may be necessary to consider the preparation as part of a journey; the outcome of the exams may be failure or success but lead to an unexpected change in the planned pathway. Many great scholars, business people and entrepreneurs did not achieve their goals in exams but would agree that this “failure” had been the essential motivation to strive in the new direction.

Sleep problems are hitting the tabloids. Not so much the discomfort of the sufferer particularly an infant but the attendant parents who need to present themselves at the workstation the following morning too tired to make profitable decisions.

We all need sleep and to lose too much especially when under any “stress” is not conducive to healthy living. “Stress” need only a build up of fatigue after long demanding hours at the office, a commitment to a sick relative or nursing a baby that won’t sleep.

Babies and infants will give Parents many sleepless nights at a time when it is important to work  to pay the bills. There are many causes:- Hunger, thirst, digestive problems,  uncomfortable body temperatures, emotions and even nightmares, even over excitement. Each one  has its own particular cry and Parents should try to learn to recognise those of their child to be able to respond accordingly. This is the earliest form of oral communications and the Parental responses  could determine future emotional development and reactions to irrational fears.

The following is a press release from the Galway College of Homeopathy

Last Wednesday evening over 50 people attended an information evening about the use of homeopathy at which Mayor Niall O’Brollachain spoke about his personal use of homeopathy for himself and his children.

The Mayor, who is an advocate of homeopathy, told the audience that the only doctors’ bills he has incurred in the last years have been in relation to health checks for his wife during her pregnancies. He believes his use of homeopathy is an example of how it could potentially provide huge cost savings to be tapped into by the HSE

Hay Fever Time Is Here Again.

Having  survived the asthma attacks of the winter now is the time to prepare for Hay fever and other airborne allergies.

Listed below are the common Homoeopathic remedies with a few key symptoms to help you find one that can reduce or even clear the problem. But where there has been a history of Hay fever professional advice should be sort.

Most remedies that can be bought at the local Health Store or Chemist will be either as 6C or 30C. The well indicated remedy is more important than the potency. 6Cs can be taken up to 4 times a day and 30C  perhaps twice a day . When symptoms change, stop taking the remedy but  if there is no change then do consult your local Homoeopath as there may well be an underlying factor that reduces the effectiveness of any remedy. 

The Galway College of Homeopathy is hosting an information evening on Wednesday 11 th April, 2007.   This event is to mark World Homeopathy Awareness Week (10th – 16th April) to inform the public about this form of medicine.  Speakers include Cllr. Niall O' Brolchain, Mayor of Galway who will talk about his own personal experience of homeopathy.  Ms. Clare Sheehan, long-time practicing homeopath and director of the Galway College, will also be speaking and available for questions.

Potentised Colours Workshop

How colours can support and augment
Homoeopathic treatment

VENUE: St. Colmcille's Community School, Scholarstown Road
DATE: March 3rd – 4th

TIMES: 10am – 4pm

At the end of last November the UK Natural History Museum hosted a debate between Dr Peter Fisher, Clinical Director of the Royal London Homeopathic Hospital and Dr Ben Goldacre, medical writer and broadcaster, known for his "Bad Science" articles in the Guardian.

It's also worth seeing for the discussion among many homeopaths after the debate. The star of the show has to be Fisher's forensic deconstruction of the Shang et al, study on the basis of which the Lancet declared the "End of Homeopathy". Making a strong argument that the study, which in the end only looked at 8 studies on homeopathy, was probably an exercise in data trawling for a predetermined outcome.

Watch the video of the debate here:

For you, colleagues and all students of homeopathy, lay or professional:
