Prostatitis. Premature ejaculation. Arthritis. Erectile dysfunction. And
gout. These are just a few of the extremely common conditions that are
constantly presented to me by male clients, friends, and family members.
Often, they consult me as a sort of "last resort." I'm a homeopathic
practitioner, after all, and many people in my world consider homeopathy
to be an "alternative" medicine that is a little too "woo woo" to treat
such "manly" disorders. However, homeopathy is a 200-plus-year-old medical
science that is fully regulated by the United States Food and Drug
Administration (FDA). And all remedies recognized by the well-respected
Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States (HPUS) have been tested and
proven effective in carefully controlled clinical trials.
Homeopathic Remedies Work--Without Dangerous Side Effects
Once I explain homeopathy's impressive credentials to skeptical male clients,
and once they experience the powerful and positive effects of the right
homeopathic remedy, most men I work with become homeopathic evangelists for
life. Why? Because homeopathic medicines work quickly and effectively--without
the dangerous side effects associated with many conventional treatments,
over-the-counter drugs, and prescriptions.
Finding the Right Remedy for Your Condition
Many common male conditions can be treated quickly and effectively with
homeopathy. These include:
Erectile dysfunction. An estimated 30 million men in the United States
will experience erectile dysfunction at one time or another--particularly
between the ages of 40-70. That explains why there is such a huge market for
products to strengthen or restore erections. I've worked with men who tried
herbal products that just didn't work at all. And I've read alarming reports of
men going blind or having heart attacks as a result of taking conventional drugs
prescribed for this condition. That's why I advocate proven homeopathic
remedies--including Sepia, Hypericum, Lycopodium, and Cantharis--because they
are extremely effective as well as medically benign.
Premature ejaculation. This is probably the most common reason why
men seek out my homeopathic recommendations. Usually, they've tried conventional
approaches--which tend to focus on of nasty chemical numbing agents applied
directly to the source. As a homeopathic practitioner, I could never recommend
the direct and conscious application of toxic ingredients to any part of the
body--particularly to such a sensitive, glandular area. Numbing agents not only
take away any potential pleasure you might expect to enjoy; they also mask
symptoms of bodily imbalance. By using products like these, men can never expect
to successfully work through the condition of premature ejaculation. Instead, I
recommend the use of homeopathic remedies--including Selenium, Nux Vomica, and
Gelsemium--that have been tested and proven effective for this condition.
Prostate disorders: One of the most popular conventional medical
treatments for an enlarged prostate is the Trans-Urethral Resection Procedure
(TURP). I encourage every man to try non-invasive homeopathic treatment first
before undergoing this invasive surgery. Often, a single dose of the right
remedy will stimulate the body's healing response to prostate
disorders--including fluid seepage, swelling, overactive bladder, and painful
orgasms--making surgery unnecessary. The HPUS recognizes Selenium, Thuja, Baryta
Carbonica, and Caladium among the remedies that can strengthen the prostate and
help restore healthy functioning.
Arthritis: As men age, they often face the pain and discomfort of
arthritis in finger and toe joints and rheumatic pains throughout the back,
limbs, and shoulders. Homeopathic medicine offers many effective remedies to
relieve symptoms and reverse the condition. Apis, Lithium Carbonicum, Benzoic
Acid, Iodium, and Grinelia are some remedies that my clients have had great
success with. In my practice, I have found that topical application of these
remedies is most efficacious. Look for topical homeopathic products or ask your
homeopathic practitioner about topical remedies to get the most immediate
relief.
Gout: This is another painful condition that men often experience as
they age. Caused by a build-up of uric acid, gout is associated with swelling,
redness, and extreme pain in the joints--particularly of the big toe. One client
came to me in frustration, after having followed a very strict diet to eliminate
excess uric acid from his body. Even though he had followed the diet to a tee,
he still suffered from gout pain. After just a single application of homeopathic
remedies applied directly on the painful joint, he was pain-free. Remedies
proven to relieve gout pain and strengthen joint health include Bufo Rana,
Rhododendron, Kali Iodatum, and Sabina.
Exploring the Homeopathic Road to Men's Health
These are just a few of the common conditions for which homeopathy supports
men's health. If you suffer from any of these conditions, try one of the
recommended remedies and note your body's response. If the symptoms decrease or
disappear completely, you've probably found the right remedy. If the symptoms
remain, try the next recommended remedy, again noting your body's response. If
your condition remains unchanged or worsens, I encourage you to seek out the
support of a knowledgeable homeopathic practitioner who will work with you to
restore whole-body health through the use of a constitutional remedy.

An alternative treatment of disease involving the consumption of natural
materials that simulate the symptoms of the disease. These materials are
first diluted in pure water to such an extent that there are generally no
molecules of the original material left. The efficacy of this treatment is
rejected by most medical experts. It has the potential of causing harm,
because individuals may seek a cure through homeopathy, and ignore the
potential for a cure from a physician.
A natural pharmaceutical science that utilizes substances from the plant,
mineral, and animal kingdoms and is based on the premise that these
naturally occurring substances can cure disease symptoms similar to those
they produce if taken in overdose. Each medicine is individually prescribed
according to how it stimulates the immune and defence systems of the sick
person. Sometimes it is called the “royal medicine.
A form of medicine that relies on minute amounts of herbs, minerals, and
other substances to stimulate natural defences against disease. It is more
widely used in Western Europe than the United States. Developed in the late
18th century by Samuel Hahnemann, MD, the therapy uses the "law of
similars" to treat disease. That is, if large amounts of a substance such
as quinine cause symptoms of an illness in a healthy person, then smaller
amounts should be used for the cure.
