Making use of homeopathy can increase immunity?

I have written in this column a little of what happens in my office, the real world! Patients come with the most different afflictions and issues. One of the reasons for consultation is the low immunity. The patient goes to the doctor's office and says, "I'm getting very sick and I've come to look for homeopathy to increase my immunity."

What's the difference between immunity and immunodeficiency?

Let's first understand what immunity is. Children have, at birth, the antibodies and the defenses that their mother gave them in the gestation, which were received via the placenta. These antibodies, IGA, are destroyed gradually and, near the 30 days of life, the child initiates the synthesis of its immunoglobulins. That is why we ask our parents to be careful not to expose their babies to public places or to crowds in this period (restaurants, shopping malls, long trips, etc.). Children will reach the normalization of immunoglobulins near the age of three, some of them only reaching the age of 11, which is why they are always having some "virus."

Primary immunodeficiency is a serious anomaly because it compromises life, and is characterized, according to the Brazilian Immunodeficiency Group (BRAGID), by:

• Two or more pneumonias in the last year
• Four or more otitis in the last year
• mv type = "sil" text Repeated abscesses
• An episode of severe systemic infection (meningitis, septicemia, osteoarthritis)
• Recurrent intestinal infections, Chronic diarrhea
• Severe asthma
• Collagen disease or Autoimmune disease
• Adverse effect to BCG and / or Mycobacterium infection
• Clinical phenotype suggestive of syndrome associated with immunodeficiency
• Family history of immunodeficiency
• So with this lis we can see that the so-called low immunity does not mean immunodeficiency, but rather "I'm getting sicker than usual." Here I am going to tell you a little bit about day-to-day illnesses, but they end up taking children and adults to the Emergency Department (PA):

Low immunity in children

The pediatric group, mainly zero to three, because parents are worried and tired with the amount of illnesses and medications that the child is having to deal with. In this group we have children who go to school at the end of the nursing leave. Until this moment, the child has created antibodies against home pathogens: siblings, father, mother, thus possessing defenses in relation to their "family ecosystem". When you go to the school, you will get in touch with the ecosystem of other houses, so, even without these protections, you end up falling ill. An infinite sequence of "ites": pharyngitis, otitis, bronchiolitis are common. But, please, sinusitis before the age of six definitely not!

At this time it is very good to have a competent, knowledgeable, available, up to date and caring pediatrician with your children. You may even doubt it, but they do exist! Taking the child repeatedly to the Ready Care ends up exposing her to other illnesses and, sometimes, over-medication. So, always remember that PA is for emergency illness. Simple symptoms such as fever, runny nose, cough, and others are not emergencies.

Throughout this process of entering school and raising antibodies, children become very sick. The Brazilian Society of Immunology says that in a year the child can have up to 12 times the flu symptoms, so it is common for it to appear every month.

By taking homeopathy as a treatment, I realize that children get sick less and recover faster. In my opinion, this is due to some factors: first, the homeopathic consultation is more detailed and in this way we get nuances of the disease that can not be obtained in a PA consultation. We have time to realize that each child gets sick especially and privately administering the medicine similar to his illness, providing a quick and gentle cure.Epigenetics, which is a branch of medicine with recent work, shows us that a competent DNA is not enough, but rather how it will manifest itself. Factors such as having a correct diet and exclusively breastfeeding until the sixth month, make the genes contained in this DNA have a better manifestation.

So this can be the form of action of the homeopathic medicine, altering the way DNA manifests itself. This would explain why children get sick less and why we should always, in a detailed consultation, try to understand the family background. This is because the members of a family become ill in a similar way, so the use of homeopathy would help to reduce the manifestation of these diseases.

Low immunity in adults

In the adults group, contagion is less important, but stress, day-to-day wear and personal dissatisfaction also make the body sick. This is because we first get sick of the mind, then we have manifestations in the body. So, in the same way, they can also benefit in treatment with homeopathy.

Treason: forgive or not?

Forgiving a betrayal is not one of the easiest things to do. You must really like it and believe that it is worth investing in the relationship so that this process really happens. Yes, it is a process and requires a lot of patience from the traitor, as well as a huge investment of energy from both. First, we have to know the reason for the betrayal, which caused the spouse to seek or simply leave Many may be the reasons, but I do not justify the fact.

You have looked at yourself in the mirror for some time and you do not think it's legal. Be it by weight, wrinkles, dark circles, tiredness or a thousand other factors.
