Happy World Homeopathy Day!!!

When a child’s behavior changes overnight, it’s not “just a phase.”

Conditions like PANS/PANDAS, Lyme-related illness, and mold toxicity can affect the brain, immune system, and nervous system—often showing up as anxiety, OCD, rage, tics, regression, or unexplained physical symptoms.

And for many families, this journey begins after trying everything else—when conventional treatments haven’t brought lasting relief or answers.

Homeopathy offers a gentle, individualized approach that works with the body—not against it. Instead of suppressing symptoms, it aims to address the underlying imbalance and support true healing on a physical, emotional, and neurological level.

Every child is different. Their story matters. Their symptom picture matters. And their healing should be just as unique.

✨ Common areas of support:
• Sudden onset OCD, anxiety, or mood swings
• Tics, sensory issues, regression
• Chronic infections (Lyme, strep, co-infections)
• Mold-related inflammation & brain fog
• Sleep disturbances & fatigue

Healing is possible—even when the path has felt exhausting and uncertain.

I’m posting this with the realization that homeopaths will say NEVER dose on your own however many times people do treat themselves ( although I do recommend seeing a homeopath in emergency situations, chronic with little progress, and emotionally exhausted parents). Below is a large complete picture of Streptococcus Pyogenes. There are MANY other remedy states that can be found and many other blocks to healing. 🩷🩵🩷🩵. Streptococcinum – Homeopathic Remedy Keynotes

Streptococcinum is a nosode remedy often considered when there is a history of recurrent streptococcal infections or lingering symptoms after strep illness.

• Post-infection inflammation or autoimmune tendencies
• Joint pains or rheumatic symptoms after illness
• Lingering fatigue or lowered vitality

PANDAS / PANS patterns:

✨ Iris Versicolor ✨
(Blue Flag)

A powerful remedy often associated with intense digestive and headache patterns — especially when symptoms feel cyclical or burning in nature.

🔹 Keynotes:
• Sick headaches with nausea and vomiting
• Migraines beginning with visual disturbance (blurred vision)
• Periodic headaches (often weekly)
• Profuse salivation with nausea
• Burning in throat, stomach, and digestive tract
• Sour, acrid vomiting
• Bilious attacks
• Pancreatic irritation
• Symptoms worse from rich or fatty foods

🔹 Themes:
Iris Versicolor is often considered when there is a strong link between the digestive system and the nervous system — when overload, excess, or poor assimilation leads to inflammatory patterns.

In holistic practice, we look beyond the headache or stomach pain and explore the full picture — physical triggers, stress load, hormonal cycles, and emotional patterns — to support true wellness.

Homeopathy is individualized. Always consult a qualified practitioner for guidance.

Today, we continue our celebration of Women's History Month with a look back at another wonderful homeopath...Dr. Margaret Tyler (1857–1943)

Dr. Tyler was a trailblazer in the world of homeopathy, renowned for her groundbreaking contributions as a homeopath, educator, and writer.

A passionate advocate for holistic health and the healing power of homeopathy, Tyler's legacy extends far beyond her clinical work. She broke barriers in an era when women faced significant challenges in pursuing careers in medicine. Her story is one of perseverance, dedication, and the profound belief in the power of natural healing.

Tyler's contributions to homeopathy were vast. She served as a mentor to many aspiring homeopaths, especially women, encouraging them to pursue careers in the field. Tyler saw homeopathy as a particularly suitable form of medicine for women’s health issues, especially since it was less invasive and more focused on the holistic well-being of the individual. She frequently spoke about the need for more women in the medical field and believed that women’s natural empathy and intuition made them well-suited to become skilled homeopathic doctors.

Today, we begin a celebration of Women's History Month.

One of homeopathy's best prescribers was Dorothy Shepherd MD...

As WWII rolled around and trauma became a customary fair, Dr. Shepherd depended on homeopathy entirely (she had first been trained in ordinary medicine). Once Dr. Shepherd discovered homeopathy, she never reverted to the “ways of old” again.

Having a full staff at her call, she taught and instructed them in the homeopathic protocols for all emergencies including pre- and post operative procedures. Her conventional antiseptics were replaced with Calendula, her protocol for broken bones was to administer Arnica, then set the bone. Conventional analgesics that carried side effects were replaced by Hypericum, Arnica and Ledum. Fever cases were given Belladonna, psychological trauma was treated with Aconite and Gelsemium. And her case load wasn’t light. London and surrounding areas where she practiced were under frequent bombings by the Germans, so her experience was like working in a MASH unit, only with ill-prepared civilians…

Carbo Vegetabilis
(The Great Reviver)

Carbo Veg — prepared from vegetable charcoal — is a powerful remedy for states of collapse, low vitality, and sluggish circulation. Think: when the spark feels like it’s almost gone.

❤️Keynotes:

• Extreme exhaustion — “almost lifeless” feeling
• Coldness with desire to be fanned
• Air hunger — wants fresh air, windows open
• Bluish, pale, or ashy complexion
• Fainting, collapse states
• Weak pulse, low vitality
• Slow recovery after illness
• Digestive distress with bloating + excessive gas
• Belching that relieves discomfort
• Burning in stomach but cold body
• Indigestion from rich food, alcohol, or overeating
• Hoarseness, weak voice from overuse
• Bleeding that is dark, oozing, passive

❤️Mental/Emotional Themes:
• Apathy, indifference
• Mentally dull from exhaustion
• Irritable from weakness
• Feels neglected or abandoned
• Fear of being alone when very ill

❤️Modalities:
Better: being fanned, cool air, belching
Worse: warmth, stuffy rooms, after eating

Carbo Veg is often called the “corpse reviver” — used when vitality is low and the system needs a gentle spark to rekindle circulation and life force.

As always, individualisation matters. Work with a qualified practitioner and follow up regularly to assess changes on all levels — mental, emotional, and physical.

Reasons someone might say “homeopathy doesn’t work” 👇🏼

There are usually layers behind that statement.

✨ Sometimes the remedy simply wasn’t the correct match.
Homeopathy is deeply individualized — even a small mismatch can result in little or no noticeable response.

✨ Sometimes there’s suppression.
Long-term medications, repeated suppressive treatments, or deeper pathology can cloud or block a clear reaction.

✨ Sometimes there are “blocks to cure.”
Ongoing environmental stressors, mold or toxin exposure, poor sleep, chronic nervous system overload, smoking , va**ng, alcohol in excess, pharmaceutical medications in drinking water / waters, air pollution /poor air quality, or inflammatory lifestyle factors can interfere with progress.
Unresolved trauma, relational stress, unsafe dynamics, or living in a constant state of fight-or-flight can also hold the system in survival mode — making it harder for healing to unfold.

✨ Sometimes expectations are unrealistic.
Deep, chronic conditions don’t usually unravel overnight. Healing can be gradual and layered.

✨ Sometimes other layers need attention first.
Miasmatic influences, maintaining causes, environmental stressors, or unresolved trauma may need to be addressed before a remedy can fully act.

✨ Sometimes follow-up hasn’t been consistent.
Homeopathy is a process. Checking in every 5–6 weeks, communicating regularly with your practitioner, and sharing any new symptoms, life changes, stressors, or insights can significantly shift a case. Even small new details can help refine the prescription.

In practice, I rarely see a true “never responds.”
More often, I see: not yet the right remedy… not yet the right layer… or not yet the right timing.

Healing is collaborative.
Precision, patience, and ongoing communication matter.

Can homeopathy help? Yes and over time can reverse lead toxicity as well as the multitude of other toxins that can inhibit our children’s learning and lives. Don’t hesitate to reach out to see how I can help you and your children thrive.

www.bethmonterosso.com

Prenatal and early postnatal lead exposure was associated with poorer cognitive function more than 60 years later, with the strongest effects observed among women who were exposed in utero during the second trimester.

In a unique analysis, researchers conducted cognitive tests in adults who had participated in the prospective St. Louis Baby Tooth cohort study, which collected deciduous teeth from children born in the 1950s primarily in St. Louis.

A comparison of participants’ test results with lead levels found in their baby teeth revealed that those who were exposed to higher lead levels in the second trimester performed worse on tests of processing speed, attention, and working memory. However, the findings were only significant in women. https://mdsc.pe/4b6j6PE
