HOMEOPATHY COLLABORATIONS
What is observed as usual to most, can make happenings around us seem obvious and customary. As we notice without noticing, it is a gift, when something about the usual jumps out and points us again to what is so wonderful about what is happening.
Collaboration and the uniqueness within, can sometimes lose itself within the observed obvious. Take, for example, when we look up to the autumn sky, and notice a flock of geese, migrating south for the winter. Perfectly orchestrated, in formation, they aim toward the destination of their winter home. Each goose does its part: the obvious. We notice the shape of their formation: customary. But the migratory concerto, which happens each year, is the wonderful.
As homeopaths, we often collaborate in tandem with many talented people and all types of practitioners: the obvious. The work, aiming for a commonly, desired destination: customary. The results and from where we bring our uniqueness: the wonderful. This month, Homeopathy in Action would like to focus on Collaborations, and point us again to notice the wonderful.

NANCY GAHLES, DC, CCH, OIM
"Your job, as practitioners on the front line, in your communities, is to represent the profession of homeopathy with integrity and to educate your community leadership as to the value of homeopathic practice.”
“Advocacy for homeopathy as a solution is a professional’s opportunity to raise
awareness and promote self- agency. It’s an inside job. Homeopaths highlight the path to personal advocacy by being fully present on the front line.”
Nancy provided us with two great opportunities to collaborate and support homeopathy:
#1 INTEGRATIVE HEALTH POLICY CONSORTIUM (IHPC) CONNECTS WEBINAR -TODAY 10/28 11-12 ET
Dr. Helene Langevin, Director of NIH National Center for Complementary and
Integrative Health, will speak about Research for Integrative and Whole Person Health.
Dr. Langevin will present information that is essential to the mission of those interested in Integrative Health and Wellness, and she is eager to receive feedback from our community. Please register now for this exciting event!

#2 Ask Your Dept of Health to Educate your State About Building a Strong Immune System!
During this time of elevated fears of viruses, our state Departments of Health could be offering the highest level of help in terms of teaching their residents about building a strong immune system. While public health leaders have urged people to avoid any contact with germs, they have not told them that each person has an immune system that deals with bacteria, viruses,
and pathogens each and every day.
Imagine if our public health leaders were advising people to take herbal supplements that strengthen the immune system. Imagine that they explained that vitamins C and D and zinc can strengthen their resistance to viruses. Imagine if they would let people know about homeopathic providers that are successfully helping so many people to recover from infections.
Raise your voice to your state public health officials and governor by asking them to help people with information on building their immune system. Please write your governor and health commissioner.

ALEXIS WHITE, CCH
“Lindy Woodard, MD and I have collaborated for many years at her pediatric practice.We collaborate on all types of cases; acute prescribing, constitutional care and well-check advice. Lindy always introduces me as a colleague and homeopath.
When a medical doctor treats me as an equal and asks my advice in front of the patient, it reinforces the legitimacy and value of homeopathy, and increases the chances that a patient may try homeopathy. For me, it is inspiring and fun to collaborate with another homeopath, differentiating and discussing cases together.”

"Of all forums and mentoring subscriptions, being on the Hub helped me solve difficult cases the most. It is the wisest, most relevant and all-around best place to be. Make a decision to join the Hub. Together we create the Life Force of Homeopathy. Can't wait to meet you!"

With her help, the CHC was able to accomplish many of our long term projects like an updated website and database that has made recertification a dream! The CHC Board will be forever grateful to her for all of her time, dedication and countless hours of work she gave to the CHC.
