Thank you for your interest in homeopathy! I am very pleased that you are looking to heal through natural means.
It has been some time since I worked in the medical field. The registrar at St. Norbert College (in DePere, WI) said that I had become disillusioned; I guess he was right. I had initially become a nurse to help people heal. What I had learned was that I was wrong in my assumptions that I could help anyone heal by being a nurse, including healing myself.
I had been a healthy child until puberty when I suddenly became ill. Knowing nothing except the medical model, I was taken for medical care. It was under medical care that my condition became chronic and I had to learn to "manage" it as best I could, hoping the flare-ups wouldn't happen too often or interfere with my life too severely.
But as things generally happen, it became more and more difficult to manage my disease, leading to many operations and a variety of different drugs. It was during my struggles with my own illness that my eyes looked towards other avenues of healing. Luckily, I stumbled across herbs, and later, homeopathy.
After realizing the benefits of natural supplements and good foods, I returned to school to become a Naturopathic Doctor. During natural schooling I learned the basics of homeopathy and realized that suppression of a skin rash when I was 12 probably led to all the internal problems (e.g. asthma) I developed at age 13. After I became a Naturopathic Doctor, I longed to implement homeopathy into my practice. The more I learned about homeopathy, the more I decided to specialize in Classical Homeopathy.
I have seen seemingly-miraculous results with homeopathy, both with humans and with animals. There are times when nothing medical can be done for someone, for example, as when a person has a concussion; but with homeopathic medicines, the person does not get the post-concussion syndrome. I have also seen this with one of my cats. She had fallen off the roof and showed signs of a concussion. I gave her Arnica montana; she was herself again within 20 minutes, never having the signs of a concussion.
I truly believe in the power of the human body to heal, and I believe that homeopathic medicines can assist the body in healing. If you want to heal, give homeopathy a chance (Classical Homeopathy that is). If you are unsure about homeopathy, give herbs and other natural supplements a chance. Nature is available to all for healing; don't turn your back on it.
Best wishes,
Dr. Ronda
