Words: Dr Deborah OLENEV It would be great, also wonderful, for surgeons and homeopaths to come and work together, for the sake of suffering humanity — in other words, for the benefit of patients. What inspired me to write this article is, that, a little nine-year-old girl named Olivia had surgery to cut and stretch
Words: Dr Deborah OLENEV One of the first injunctions of Dr Samuel Hahneman, MD, the founder of homeopathy, in his great book, The Organon of Medicine, is the ‘edict’ to remove obstacles to cure. In the modern world, where we live with environmental pollution within and outside of our homes, this injunction is more important
Words: Dr Deborah OLENEV I often receive and attend to several calls every summer from people asking me what homeopathic remedies I recommend them to take along when they are travelling overseas. When my daughter, for instance, went to India, some years ago, I prepared a kit for her. These are the remedies that I
Words: Dr Deborah OLENEV The original idea of homeopathy, which is curing with ‘similars’ — ‘likes cure likes’ — dates back to Hippocrates in the Fourth Century BC.

Words: Dr Deborah OLENEV If some billionaire were to offer me a million dollars as a gift, or knowledge, of the bowel nosodes, as an alternate reward, I would say keep your million dollars, but give me knowledge of the bowel nosodes. This may be one of the philosopher’s stones that the alchemists were searching
Words: Dr Deborah OLENEV Ruta graveolens is one of my favourite remedies and creams, because when I need it, it doesn’t disappoint me. I actually had a call to use it recently after twisting my waist too hard in my Latin American dance class. I endured the pain for about a day and then I decided
Words: Dr Deborah OLENEV There are as many opinions on the subject of ‘how to take homeopathic remedies’ as there are homeopaths. Understanding homeopathic posology, or the part of medicine concerned with dosage, is not easy. It really takes years of practice to get a feeling for it. The goal of Dr Samuel Hahnemann, MD,
Words: Dr Deborah OLENEV We have all witnessed the scare, also excitement, over the swine flu epidemic. I want to say a few things about it from the homeopathic perspective. There was a fear that the swine flu epidemic could turn into a pandemic, or worldwide epidemic, of the proportions that the world experienced in the Spanish
