Greetings from the Council for Homeopathic Certification!
COVID-19 has impacted our lives in an unprecedented way, and what our future holds remains unclear. One thing is apparent. Change is taking place in all aspects of life, and while change comes with growing pains, there is also good in change.
Change compels us to reflect on our past accomplishments, goals and aspirations; it provides us with an opportunity to realign with our inner compass and set us on a course of importance.
This month's Homeopathy in Action series topic addresses the importance of
Advocacy in Homeopathy.
Advocacy is about establishing a strong network of people dedicated to spreading awareness and promoting homeopathy.This is the time to reinforce the homeopathic community in a unified effort to reach out to consumers, agencies and legislators.
Enjoy the comments from a couple of advocacy volunteers in our community. May the work of others ignite a spark within us all to spread the word of how amazing homeopathy is.

Nancy Gahles, DC (Ret.), CCH,
RSHom(NA), OIM, Cert. MBSR, Cert. CIT facilitator:
"The Council for Homeopathic Certification is a Partner for Health with the Integrative Health Policy Consortium (
IHPC
). I represent the CHC as a member of the IHPC Board of Directors. The recent pandemic, COVID 19, has offered a rare opportunity for homeopathic medicine to be recognized for its success in pandemics as well as to position homeopathic practitioners as viable members of the integrative healthcare workforce."
"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."
"COVID 19 appears to prey on those with a weakened vitality. One of the first signs a practitioner assesses is respiration. COVID 19 attacks the respiratory system primarily. Homeopaths are skilled in assessing vitality."
"The majority of mortalities are in persons suffering from complex chronic comorbidities of obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Dr. Hahnemann, our founder, explicitly described the need for public health advocacy in environmental concerns, clean air, clean water and natural, fresh food. Diet and lifestyle education is inherent to homeopathic practice."
"The mental and behavioral health challenges resulting from the pandemic is squarely in the field of homeopaths. Our materia medica is replete with mental and behavioral symptoms resulting from loneliness, isolation, loss of income, fear of poverty, anxiety, depression and beyond."
"Advocacy for homeopathy as a solution to the above challenges is a professional’s opportunity to raise awareness and promote self-agency. Offering alternatives to the learned helplessness of the current thinking that there is no immunity, that we have to wait for a vaccine, encourages people to access their inherent vitality, to build resilience and to combat and adapt to challenges to their health and well-being. It’s an inside job. Homeopaths highlight the path to personal advocacy by being fully present on the front line."

Kelly Weatherly, BCHHP, DHP, CHC Public Board Director:
"
Last April I donned my homeopathy advocacy hat, went to Washington D. C. and attended the
Americans for Homeopathy
Choice event - Homeopathy on the Hill. It was a time to talk with the health advocates in Congressional and Senate offices. Moms, dads, homeopaths and practitioners gathered from around the country, joining for one cause – to speak in support of homeopathy and to share personal stories."
"We all have many hats to wear. My homeopathy hat seems to always be on, right there on top of my wife, mom, natural practitioner and friend hat. It is a part of me. I’ve seen its gentle power heal my horse’s eye in four days that typically takes weeks for conventional meds to do. Also, I’ve experienced one dose of the right remedy immediately stopping weeks of itching caused by numerous tick bites. It is important for these gentle but mighty remedies to remain available to me. Is it important to you, too?"
"That April, walking onto Capitol Hill and entering the giant halls of Congress left me in a bit of awe. I was a part of a group of people listening to one another and meeting each other emotionally right ‘where we were’. It was much like putting some of those homeopathy consulting principles to work in the halls of Congress. This country wide team advocating for homeopathy needs you! Practitioners, volunteers, clients, consumers - all can help. It takes just two-three hours a month. Come, join us. Be a part of
HAT
, the Homeopathy Action Team."
