I am a graduate of The British Institute of Homeopathy and currently hold a Diploma in Homeopathic Medicine ( DiHom) and my Doctorate in Homeopathic Medicine (DHM) is pending completion. I will continue my education in Homeopathic Medicine by persuing my PhD in Homeopathic Medicine. I am a Classical Homeopath and I follow the Homeopathic guidelines set forth by Samuel Hahnemann, the founder of Homeopathic Medicine.
I have also studied and practiced extensively in the fields of Herbology, Aromatherapy, Nursing, and Bach Flower Remedies and a graduate of the Philadelphia School of Mixology.
I began my study in Homeopathic Medicine because I felt there was a need for a
complimentary or alternative to current medical practices, and it is your right to use this alternative treatment. Homeopathy is not to take the place of a medical practitioner, but as a compliment to their treatment, although many of my patients use nothing but Homeopathic Remedies like myself and my children.
My eldest son, Tim, was diagnosed with severe ADHD when he was 3 years old and was on Ritalin for years.(see local paper article which was done on Tim below). Three years ago I decided enough was enough, so I began him on Homeopathic Therapy in combination with Chiropractic Care, under the guidance of my Mentor , Maria. He is now drug-free and is excelling in school . He is now a thriving , healthy, happy 11 year old boy. I am so proud of him. It was hard, but we did it together as a family.
My 2 sons, Tim and Neil are Homeopathic Children. When they were infants and had colic they got a remedy. As they grew I began to see wonderful things evolving in my sons'. They developed a great respect for Mother Earth because they knew that all the things that made them feel better came from Mother Earth. They learned all about herbs and we planted a beautiful herb garden together. In the fall we would harvest our bounty and hang them from the ceiling in the kitchen for our herbs to dry. Needless to say , our kitchen looked like the Amazon jungle for a few weeks but they loved the smells and they loved learning all about the herbs. They would make little labels on the computer and tie little strings around the drying herbs so we would be sure not to confuse them. Some herbs do tend to be similar in appearence. Then we would make wonderful herbal teas for our family and friends.
I believe that healing takes place on 3 levels. Spiritual, Mental and Physical. When we were created we were given all the tools we need for survival. Illness comes when one of those levels is not inbalance. If you chose to undergo homeopathic treatment I strongly suggest you return to your place of worship and be sure that your mind is in order.
Last year my mother had a terrible bout with viral meningitis. It was the most frightening experience of my life.
My mother suffered terrible. I sat and watched as they pumped her full of medications to ease the pain. It was difficult to watch. She had horrid headaches for a year. I tried every remedy I could find to help her. But because of all the allopathic meds they had her on and the merry go round effect they had on her system, I was stumped. I frustated her so on this computer in my free time seaching for a remedy. Then one day..BINGO...I found something. My mother, always my willing remedy victim, was more than willing to try it. IT WORKED. She knows when she feels a headache coming on to get that remedy fast. It is such a wonderful feeling to know that the allopathic remedies in the PDR did nothing for her and me and my little homeopathic remedy did.

PARENTS WEIGH OPTIONS AFTER CALL FOR RITALIN SCRUTINY
Susan Florentino-Miller walked into her pediatrician's office and said she was having a problem with her son Timothy Jr's behavior, so the doctor prescribed Ritalin. TJ, as the boy is known, was 18 months old at the time and had a motor that wouldn't quit.
The reports about Ritalin then-1993- were that it was a wonder at calming down hyperactive children and allowing them to focus.
Doctors said TJ had attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD.
Miller , of Estell Manor, knew her son took his first steps at a gallop and never seemed to sleep. At times he was her sweet angel, but he could explode over the smallest annoyance. Althought she worried about putting TJ on medication, she also worried himself or others if he wasn't treated. She put her faith in her doctor.
Now Miller worries about the effects ritalin- a brand name for the stimulant methyphenidate- is havong on her 8 year old son. "I'm not saying Ritalin is bad, but I am not saying it is good." she said.
"You go into your doctor's office and say, 'My child is having a problem.' That's what they're there for..But the truth is, I don't think even they knew enough about it."
Miller started her son on 2.5 mg of Ritalin, but she found she had to increase the dosage over the years. Then in december, as her doctor recommended a dosage over 50 mg, she decided she had had enough. She sought help from a homeopathic specialist and began taking her son to a chiropractor who specializes in treatin ADHD children. Her son began taking flax oil and blue green algae, Miller said.
Miller said school officials and her doctor reacted with some skeoticism when she announced she was taking her son off Ritalin, " They looked at me with such fear and panic. They tried to talk me out of it. Threatened me with intervention from child protective services and told me I was going to hurt my child."
In seven weeks , Miller has reduced TJ's Ritalin intake 20 mg- and has mnoticed marked improvement in her son, she said. Many of the side effects TJ suffered-Lack of appetite, sleeplessness- have begun to subside.
TJ remains hyperactive, playing outside in his yard on a recent spring day, climbing a tree with his brother, Neil. He plays baseball for a local team- third base, "I feel great and got an "A" on my spelling test this week," he said to me while hanging upside down in a tree. The difference in her son, Miller said, is in his eyes and his personality. "It's like meeting him for the first time." she said.
As a part of what Miller calls her son's "detox' program, she has May 16 marked as the day he will stop taking the medication altogether.
