Natural Care for Babies and Children with Amandha Vollmer (ADV) and Kelsey Lynne Brown on Blog Talk Radio

Natural Care for Babies and Children: Video Overview

In this Blog Talk Radio discussion, Amandha Vollmer (ADV) joins Kelsey Lynne Brown’s New Homeschool program to explore natural care for babies and children. Amandha begins by sharing her experiences with pregnancy, miscarriage, home water birth and early motherhood. She explains how these experiences shaped her approach to informed decision-making, breastfeeding, childhood nutrition and natural parenting.

The conversation explores botanical medicine, homeopathy and the development of a practical home apothecary. Amandha discusses traditional herbs she used during pregnancy and breastfeeding, along with her experiences teaching her daughter about plants and natural remedies. She also explains her perspectives on childhood development, feeding practices, fever and common childhood concerns, including colic, ear infections, sore throats and urinary tract infections.

Throughout the interview, Amandha shares her personal experiences using homeopathic preparations, nutritional supplements and other natural health products. The host asks questions about childhood measles, mumps, medical care and accessing holistic consultations. The discussion concludes with additional considerations involving dental care, children’s nutrition and Lyme disease. Amandha encourages parents to develop their knowledge through observation, personal records and continued study while explaining her own interpretations of health and child development.

Notes/Corrections: Amandha is not currently taking patients, she was at the time of the interview. The old website name is mentioned: the new one is yumnaturals.store. Amandha had still yet to learn there is no “immune system” per se but actually an identification system that helps the body understand self vs non-self. Additionally, at timestamp 28:23 Amandha meant to say “Barbara Harper of the Waterbirth International” (Barbara Brennan, whose name Amandha mentioned, is actually the founder of The School of Healing and she is also the author of Hands of Light.” Her meaning of “cure” = to re-establish homeostasis in the body, the more appropriate word is “heal” or “to be healed.”

Introduction: Blog Talk Radio and Natural Childcare

Host: Well, good afternoon everybody, and welcome to the new homeschool blog Talk radio show today. Our guest is Amandha Dawn Vollmer, and she holds a bachelor degree of science in agriculture biotechnology from the University of Lethbridge, and a doctor of naturopathic medicine from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Toronto.

Host: And she is going to talk today about children and babies. And how far are the well, a lot of our things out there are not good for us. They’re poisons, they’re poisoning our environment. And she is going to talk today about what all are you going to talk about today, Amandha?

Amandha: Yes. Thank you for having me.

Amandha: I am going to speak about how to rear babies and children in a holistic manner. We’ll touch on homeopathic approaches botanical approaches lifestyle changes in support. And I’d like to go a little bit on essential oils and some supplements and just really give the listener a well-rounded feel for how to doctor their child safely and easily at home to avoid the suppression medication and dangerous therapies and drugs that the medical doctors hand out that do great damage to our children.

And I will also touch on just a little bit at the beginning here about how to prepare for pregnancy in that sort of process and things to avoid in general. Because it really the child begins before, you know, at conception. And so all of that is also relevant to the care of the infant and the child when they’re finally you know, earth’s side.

Host: That’ll be wonderful. We look forward to this program. So you can go ahead, Amandha, and you may start.

Amandha: Sure.

Well, let me know if you have any specific questions or need any clarifications about what I’m talking about.

I just a little bit of background. I know you introduced my, some of my credentials.

I have done quite an extensive level of training. In fact, I continue to research and train. I graduated back in 2008, from naturopathic college. And so I’ve been experienced the last 11 years in this field of holistic medicine. I traveled to India twice for homeopathic training.

So I do have a lot of homeopathic and ayurvedic training as well. I was shadowing conventional doctors and holistic doctors when I was in India, so I really got to get a sense of what’s being done in general. And obstetricians you know, I OBGYN’s, I would follow them, I would follow heart surgeons.

I would follow all of these different types of doctors to shadow them and see really what’s going on and most of what diseases that they’re experiencing specifically in babies and children. So I got to see interesting things like cesarean births firsthand. And that’s really put a spin on my view on how we really should be focusing on creating the next generation and the damage that a lot of these therapies do.

Host: Sorry, you had a question yeah, I mean, we have a worldwide audience. I mean, people are gonna be listening from Australia to Africa, to Europe, and there are gonna be people on here that have no idea what you mean by homeopathy and ayurvedic and all that. So could you explain that as you go along? Would you explain exactly what those systems are or how they work and instead of just, you know, just taking it, that it, for now that people know automatically what you’re talking about you’re gonna have to absolutely explain some of these people.

Host: So, go ahead. Sorry. Interruptions.

Amandha: When I, as I get to each topic, I’ll make sure that I clarify the general understanding of it. But I always encourage anyone who listens to either any of my YouTube videos that I have or listens to any talk that I give or any blog posts that I write.

that you take that and run with it so that if you’re confused about a topic that you learn how to research yourself. A lot of people will ask me questions that they could easily do as an internet search, right? So to start to engender confidence in yourself, that actually, when it comes down to it, it’s really one of the, some of the most natural things to learn.

Once you get over some of the engendered fear that the mainstream media and the propaganda has injected into our cult, our culture to remove our own intuition and to give our power away to other practitioners, specifically MDs. You will begin to get more confidence regarding these topics, and you’ll get the flare of how to go into research.

But absolutely,

I will make sure that I sort of preface each level as I go along. So thank you for that. Mainly what I wanted to say there was, just so you understand little bit of my history, because it’s important to understand the individual who’s presenting the information that it’s not coming from.

Conjecture or hearsay or a fly-by-night idea that it’s backed with not only education, but worldly education and also lots of experience. And it really helps in someone’s confidence levels when they can hear it from someone who’s also lived it. And that’s what I wanna talk with you about from my own child rearing experience.

And some of the things that have happened in my own childhood as well, because these are all relevant and into our knowledge base because a lot of people have experienced many of the things that I’m gonna speak about today firsthand, whether it is an antibiotic reaction, having tonsils removed, having a vaccine reaction, having ear infections or throat infections, having UTIs any kind of childhood exanthem that’s normal like mumps or measles or roslin, phantom.

These are things that very commonly come up with children, right?

Because they are growth milestones. They’re not diseases. But then again, the mainstream media has given us a tall tale. Lot of fear has been programmed into us and a lot of lies, a lot of lies. So I challenge everyone listening here today to just drop the narrative of what you’ve been sold and be open-minded and listen very carefully to some of the fundamental natural principles that come through again and again.

And I think that will help things along as far as your own learning and your own forward thinking. Because we really need that more than ever. at this particular timeframe in history. We’re the sickest we’ve ever been. The death rate of children in the Americas is the highest it’s ever been.

It’s really, the autism rate is one in 33 children and rising. It’s we’re seeing epidemics that we’ve never even faced before. We have legislators and politicians and industry run everything backed everything like, for example, media paid politicians, et cetera, that are ruling the show.

And that is to our greatest demise because you’re not going to see or hear a lot of this stuff unless you actually go after it. It’s very tightly controlled and we have a lot of censorship around a lot of these topics. And also unlawfully. De deregulating or tightly regulating if you will certain things like even homeschooling, which is absolutely insanity to think that we can’t be free enough to take the education of our own child in our own hands.

And that comes alongside with, you know, trying to force vaccinate or force any medical procedure like chemotherapy, for example, on a child against the parent’s wishes and wills. And against that individual’s will even. So we have a lot, there’s a lot going on there, but really what I wanna focus on the most is the education of what to actually do, because there’s a lot of people out there talking about this stuff right now.

There’s a lot of different heroes, if you will, in the, you know, the movement to educate people against the dangers of vaccines the dangers of the legislation you know, mandating force vaccines and homeschooling and these kind of stuff.

There’s a lot of heroes in that movement.

But what I really wanna bring to the table today is now what do you do?

So, you already know vaccines are medical fraud and dangerous, and you don’t wanna do that. You already homeschool your child, you already are at that stage of things. And now, but what do I do? Like? I don’t go to doctors, but I need to do something if my child gets ill. And that’s where I want to, what I wanna bring here today, so that you feel that you have some information to go forward with that.

Pregnancy, Miscarriage, and Conscious Conception

Amandha: So back to some of the background that I’ve experienced is, you know, when I was traveling of course and doing these medical programs and then also when I decided in my late thirties to have a child I wasn’t going to actually get pr I wasn’t deciding to have a child in my, where I was in my head is I was very career oriented.

I really had a lot of projects on my mind. I really want, was an achiever in that regard. And I had the feeling to adopt because I know there are so many abandoned children and children without families. And I felt that’s what I was going to do rather than have a child from my own loins.

But miraculous things happen and I found myself pregnant.

I was very purely vegan at that time.

Probably the tightest, militant vegan I’d ever been. And I was very clean with my diet, although I was still in taking some coffee, I hadn’t realized that’s also extremely damaging to the body.

Back then I had just graduated from naturopathic college, gone through a lot of things stress, stressful things, and I met someone and I very soon became pregnant.

And that experience when I realized I was pregnant I felt like it was, I’m going to have a baby. I felt correct that was, I was going to do it. I would definitely not choose to abort a life inside my body. It was my decision to have, you know, intercourse and to go through that. It was my responsibility.

And so the consequences were also my responsibility and I wasn’t about to do that is I don’t, my own beliefs are that would be against God or against my own innate sense in speaking with women who had abortions.

They all tend to regret it later in life.

And so I was not going to do that.

Despite me being not quite in a stable situation, but I ended up miscarrying this child at six and a half weeks or so, and it was a very emotional experience, but what it really brought me, my, to my attention was a, I definitely wanted to have a child and try again, and b, that I realized that despite how healthy I was and how vibrant I was and how how I felt in my body, it was still not enough to hold a pregnancy.

And it came down to two things.

One that I was drinking caffeine and that was definitely a negative for holding a pregnancy.

And two, that I was progesterone deficient as we tend to get deficient in this hormone. By the age of 30. So I cut the caffeine and I started to use a topical bioidentical natural progesterone cream on my skin each day.

And then I intentionally, with my partner, we made a decision we were going to have and raise this baby together despite whatever was going to happen. Even if we weren’t together, we would still participate with this child.

And so I actually had something that’s very rare these days is what’s called a conscious conception.

A conscious conception is when both parents at the time of orgasm or time of love making are concentrating on creating their divine child. So they are, the thoughts are, all the thinking is around the attraction and support and basically pulling in of that soul to, to the woman’s body in the act of making love.

So that’s what we actually did. And I had read about it somewhere and I thought, well, I have an opportunity because I’ve decided I do wanna have a child. And obviously I am fertile. And that was part of my other surprise, is I actually thought I wasn’t fertile for some reason. I just thought it was past dates for me and then I soon became pregnant the second time. And of course, that pregnancy held and I had my beautiful daughter. Through that experience, I nourished myself very deeply. One thing I wanted to mention that is important is in the way in which we treat pregnancy is almost like comes from out of born, out of, you know, the fifties and the sixties where, oh, the mother has to be treated delicately and that the mother has to rest and not move a lot.

And we see a lot of this parroted in the propaganda through a lot of television shows. Television shows are by design meant to mimic life, but alter it just the way that our handlers want us to think life actually is when it’s not.

So that’s a lot of brainwashing happens in a lot of these shows.

I can’t tell you how many shows I’ve seen where the woman’s giving birth in a hospital on her back, it’s just the opposite way that you generally wanna have a baby. Usually it’s on all fours and you’re facing, you know, front or you’re pulling on something from the ceiling when you’re, you know, giving going through intense expression of really what should be orgasmic joy when you have a baby instead of crazy pain.

But that’s, I digress. So the propaganda makes us think that there’s a delicacy to pregnancy. But really there’s, the female is at a very intense, robust period in her life and where exercise should be happening we’re at being outside in nature, doing physical labor should be happening.

The woman that, that is pregnant should not carry too much weight, meaning she, she should not be eating for two. It’s another very big myth that goes out there. Like I know my own mother, she told me she was so big, like she was carrying me. She could barely walk. And that leads to a lot of health problems for the mother that then threatens both the mother and the baby, like pre-eclampsia, for example.

Which is basically woman is become very toxic in her. She gets very high blood pressure and it’s a very dangerous condition to be in. So the, if you are robust and you are still exercising and doing stretching and getting the blood flowing and the blood moving and not overeating, but nourishing the self, you should basically not even have too much showing.

You should have your belly and the rest of your body remains pretty much normal sized. I’ve seen my own experience, I was very small carrying, I was also very active. I did not gain any extra weight. It was only after I gave birth that there was some weight gain as my hormones started to balance out.

And at that time, what I should have done is began the progesterone cream again to prevent postpartum depression, which a lot of people go through, a lot of women go through. It’s very common nowadays. And to avoid suppressive drugs that will damage mother further. The best approach usually is increasing magnesium levels through a topical application and adding in progesterone cream once a day to assist the rebalancing of the hormones and that regards that the depression and so forth that can come from the hormones.

Rebalancing doesn’t overtake the mother. There’s another problem there as well as this culture tends to isolate and segregate families and individuals into their little boxed houses in front of their televisions rather than having true community where the community raises the child and supports the mother and these kinds of things.

So we have a also a realization that happens with the female particularly. That’s very stressful. So maybe she’s only taking a certain amount of time off work. She realizes she’s going to have to go back to work. Both participants in the household are working, and that’s not even quite enough to make the living these days with the amount of inflation and extra taxation and so forth with what’s going on with our handlers continually putting the cramping down on us so that we cannot get ahead of the situation.

That never used to be the case, by the way, in the fifties and sixties, you could easily buy a house. The man would work, the woman would take care of the children at home. Homeschooling could be easily done, and that was that. But now it doesn’t seem to be the case so that most families have to have dual income in order just to make ends meet.

So we have a lot of depression also from the situation, or we have a lot of single parents. And not just single mothers, also single fathers that are left with heavy burdens to care for, you know, an infinite is a huge responsibility to do this and to do it also in a correct way and in a way where you’re having the health and vibrancy of the child.

Midwives, Home Water Birth, and Birth Decisions

Amandha: So the, after I went through that conscious conception, I, what most parents do is start to research all kinds of things when pregnant and making sure you’re getting everything correct, like the right car seat, and is your car safe enough and, you know, baby proofing the house and these kinds of things.

But I had already had at that point, about a decade worth of vaccine research under my belt. So my main concern was making sure that I could get a midwife, which I did. In, I’m in Ontario and Canada, so they’re covered for Ontario. It’s different in lots of other places in the world. You have to pay for midwife, but I still would encourage that to be a part, a midwife or a doula part of the preparation to stay out of hospitals or either use specific birthing centers rather than automatically going, I wanna go into a hospital setting and this type of thing.

Because the value of going through a natural birth is not only beneficial for the mother and coming through that and really coming through a right of passage where you feel after you’ve gone through an experience like that, you feel so strong. You feel like. You know what, no matter what happens, you’ve done that and you can do anything because the miracle of the body is just outstanding.

And you faced your fears and you took them head on and you traversed through your pains. And on the other side of it was this beautiful child. And also there’s huge benefits for the child to have a natural vaginal unmedicated birth. There’s tons of information out there about this topic. I’m not gonna go on and on about it, although I could.

Avoiding Pitocin, avoiding these types of drugs, the Pitocin con contri allows for stronger contractions of the uterus, which actually crushes and gives pain to the child which a lot of people don’t realize. Even the oxytocin, even my midwife, you have to be careful with midwives cause some of them are so medicalized.

Even my own midwife wanted to push oxytocin on me after I gave birth which I did at home into a water, a pool of water that I had set up in my house. Because my placenta was taking, she said too long to come out. So I had to stand up and say back off with that needle that she’d already preloaded as if I was going to say yes.

And I had to tell her that under no condition would she be injecting me with that. What would’ve happened if she had, is I probably would’ve had extreme breastfeeding problems. Because it, the milk would’ve either come in too hard and too fast. The child would choke on the milk because the letdown response would be too strong.

I might have latching problems because of that, and I’m not interested in having to deal with months and months of issues for just waiting another five minutes for my placenta to naturally come out, which it did and intact. It happened to take 45 minutes for me. So keeping in mind, just from the pregnancy side of things, there’s very, there’s different variations of timing for things.

Don’t let people pressure you into it or give you statistics or even keep going with doppler and all this poking and prodding. For the most part, I had one ultrasound because my partner wanted to know the sex of the child. I did not but I gave in to his will. And in that ultrasound, they found that I had a single umbilical artery, which is, again, a natural and normal variation to pregnancy.

Sometimes you have one and sometimes you have two. Now, most people generally have two, but the medical establishment loves to pounce. They see one thing and they pounce. So immediately upon seeing that I was brought into your room and told in a very grave and dark and scary way that I have this unnatural problem with my, the umbilical cord, which would require me going to an endocrinologist to have a further ultrasound and make sure that my child is not downs or make sure that my child doesn’t have a heart disease and all this, and the level of fear that they were pumping into me at that stage was atrocious.

And so I did oblige and went to the second appointment in which I had a very educational and deep conversation with this endocrinologist, sorry, it was a cardiologist where he said, you know, it’s very odd that they send me to you because uh, sent you to me because normally I see downs in a double umbilical artery and typically in younger couples, not older couples.

And so the statistics that they’re using are incorrect. And nine times outta 10 there’s no issue. So I left that experience realizing how very, it’s a very vulture like, establishment. Wants to use your situation to earn their living off of you and sponge off of you.

And to validate their existence.

They have make work projects, a lot of make work projects where they make problems appear where they weren’t before and never would’ve been a problem if they just left well enough alone. That goes with most medical interventions. I find that one intervention will lead to another. So for example, even a stretch and sweep in which is even the midwives will do if they’re trying to encourage the woman to go into labor.

If she’s post dates, you know, if she’s 37, 38 weeks, she’s going on and on and she’s extra pregnant as they say.

They encourage the stretches sweep, which can actually lead to stalled labor, which can then lead to using the Pitocin, which can then lead to a C-section.

And it just continues to go in into one intervention, be getting another intervention.

So what I suggest, for those who haven’t had their children yet, or are planning to have more children, to really educate themselves, to tell the establishment to back off on pretty much everything that they do, unless you feel in your own gut, in your own intuition, that there is something wrong. See, in my pregnancy, I felt good and I felt like everything was right, even though I did have first trimester nausea that I dealt with using ginger ginger root, making a very strong tea of ginger root and as well as honey to make sure that my sugars were not dropping down.

Cuz a lot of the nausea is really just your not don’t have enough glucose in the system, so you’re feeling nauseous as a result. And also most people are also eating incorrectly. So the nausea is telling the mother, stop eating. Please st back away from the food. You do not need this much food when you’re pregnant.

Stop eating.

And so sometimes there’s some gentle fasting that needs to happen at that point as well. But you know, as I was going through my pregnancy, I always felt it was right and it was good. I could always feel the baby moving. I could, I tuned into her through meditation. I connected with her.

I could really understand her energy right from just me carrying her. And I was doing a lot while I was pregnant. I moved my household twice during pregnancy. That was you know, quite a lot of physical labor and actually fair amount of stress.

And still I was healthy doing well.

Everything was going, was feeling right and going well, so, in my case, under no condition was I going to go to the hospital. And I even had said to the midwife, said, they said, you know, what’s your greatest fear about giving birth? Said I said, going into a hospital, this is the last place I will ever want to step foot in.

Not only is it a dirty, you know, gross place full of electrical magnetic field off the roof. And you know, having very negative connotations and a lot of death and this type of thing, and a lot of sadness and grief.

I don’t want to face a brainwashed cult leader called an MD or cult member who is going to dictate to me about my body.

I’m not interested in debating with someone when I’m in a vulnerable birthing position or situation.

And what had happened, I said, now that I have a single umbilical article artery, and I did my own research, I said, I may have a smaller baby, so I wanna make sure that I go to my pregnancy date. Because if your child is too small, they will make you go to the hospital.

So that was really my goal, was to make sure that I held the pregnancy long enough, ironically, there was a new midwife that came in because my existing midwife was going on vacation the time in which I could have been giving birth.

And when she found out I had a single umbilical artery, she started to meddle with me.

She called me, she said, we need more scans. She said she wanted to even to do an amnio and all this kind of stuff. And I was saying, you’re crazy. Back off for me. I don’t want you as my midwife. I don’t know where you came from. You, I don’t know you. And stop. And she put a lot of stress on me because I was really worried because people in power, if they have something to prove, they can do really insane things like call Child protective Services on you, or, you know, make your life a living hell if they have something.

Like, I’ve had a really, a beautiful woman who had both her babies at home have an insane childcare worker just frivolously complain about her because she didn’t like her because she was vegan and because she was raising her children without vaccines.

And, you know, they were thriving. They were beautiful children.

Breastfed like three, four years breastfed. And because this CPS worker hated her, she took her children away from her. You know, these kinds of things. So I didn’t wanna be in that position. But this midwife insisted to keep coming over and measuring my uterus and continually adjusting and measuring my uterus.

She actually put me into to early labor. So the thing that I did not want, she actually stimulated for me to go through.

So I had my baby two weeks earlier than I should have which it took me, you know, after that, it took me a long while not to be angry at her and to really go through some forgiveness around it because there were a lot of things around that upset me.

And that’s a drop in the bucket of many other mother’s stories of what’s happened to them, that they have to rectify with and go through lots of layers of anger about. And I could only imagine because I was so upset about this one thing, I couldn’t imagine if I was, you know, thrown into a hospital setting and had a c-section, had all these kinds of things.

Now, I’m not saying that these situations can’t also be appropriate and the right thing for that particular mother, but I’m just saying that every, everyone has to speak for themselves in that situation. And the more educated you are, the less likely you are going to want to be in a hospital setting to give birth.

It’s usually fear-based, which fear is coming from ignorance that a woman will opt to do that or being told that she’s going to do that and she’s given away her power. So I was obviously very well educated and knew that I wasn’t going to that, to the point where also when I had the waterbirth, cuz I was actually trained by Barbara Harper waterbirth International.

And I took a course with her on how to properly waterbirth and also as someone who a lot of midwives who were, and doulas were at that session as well. And I knew. There’s something called air shock. So when the baby is born and the head is born directly from the womb into the air, so once the water breaks there’s a different decompression between the inside and the outside of the body.

But when you are hovering in water, it’s a very gentle birth because there’s no air shock. So you’re basically going from one water watery environment into another watery environment. And that all lured me. I really loved that thinking of having a gentle, empowering birth. And that was my goal.

And I had it, you know, my water did not break prematurely. As I said, because I was stimulated into an early labor and my water birth in, in the pool when I was laboring in the pool, when at that point I was already pushing. And sometimes women will actually give birth with the sac still with fluid intact.

It doesn’t happen that often, but it can. And so I had this wonderful experience and this beautiful empowering birth and the feeling that I could labor myself. For, you know, it was almost 30 hours of labor in a my own home where I could eat and walk around and drink and rest and do what I needed to do.

And the other thing that I was fascinating was about pushing. Because I see again, in these TV shows, the media of these women, someone telling the woman to push. And it’s just, I laugh at it because your body pushes for you when you’re in labor, your body takes bears down and you’re, you are pushing because the body’s cued you to push, not that someone else has told you to push.

The only reason someone else has to tell you is if you’ve been given an epi and you’re drugged and you can’t feel anything, then the doctor has to tell you to push. Otherwise, it’s a natural, normal phenomenon in bearing down of your body. So that’s another thing that is parroted often in the culture that is just not true, not remotely true to the body or to nature.

Breastfeeding, Nutrition, and Herbal Traditions

Amandha: So anyway, that was a beautiful experience. I did nurse right away. It took me a long time for my milk to come in. A lot of women have problems with nursing that they need encouragement, they need the right fluids. So one of the things that I would suggest is to make sure that as the ripening is happening, obviously you’re going to be drinking lots of water, lots of pure water, distilled water, or living spring water that’s electrified by nature.

And you’re going to feel nourished and that you’re nourishing yourself with a lot of fruits, a lot of nuts and seeds that are pre-soaked because you wanna remove the phytic acid from a lot of nuts and seeds that can deplete your vitamin K2 stores, which can deplete and remove a lot of strength from your bones.

We really eat wrong in general. So getting your food right is really gonna be critical. Making sure that you are eating as low pesticide, low herbicide, and no GMO as heavenly possible. The more local you can get, you know, go to your local farmer’s market, ask if they’re spraying the food, find food that’s not sprayed.

If you have very little choice in that regard, then at least when you bring home the produce, soak it in a sink full of baking soda because with bake some baking soda water that will at least remove and denature a lot of the pesticide residue as well.

Something that I’m going to do a very specific video on is that chlorine dioxide.

It’s a specific solution.

It also will denature glyphosate and there’s not much that does that. It will also denature and break apart glyphosate in the gut. So, of course our overlords,. They have banned it and told us it’s dangerous and tried to make it illegal for us to obtain chlorine dioxide solutions.

Some people know it as s when it’s also put in a lot of our drinking water our sanitation, you know, for drinking water in a lot of towns and cities. And it’s the furthest thing from danger. Actually if you look at Carrie Rivera’s work, she talks a lot about CDs or chlorine dioxide solution and autism and healing autism.

Not just masking symptoms like drugs do, but actually curing and healing. I’m not afraid to use the word cure. We’re gonna talk about homeopathy. And homeopathy actually does cure problems it doesn’t just suppress it and mask it over and make it worse like drugs do. So once the mother is established in her breastfeeding works to get the breast milk cup using things like oat straw, these are botanicals now.

So this is things that grow in nature that are well established, herbal medicines that are time tested, traditional powerful healing modalities like botanical medicine come from the earth and have been through the eons.

So this is nothing new.

This is nothing that our government bodies need to meddle with or need to manage or need to lock down for us.

These are folk medicines. These are traditional medicines. They need to back off, you know, if they wanna have their toxic chemical poisons, by all means then people can at least have a choice where they wanna go to suppressive therapies or they want to use what God gave us that comes out of the earth.

But at least we should have a choice whether to go one way or another and not have censorship against the information. But that’s not what we’re seeing right now. So we really have to fight hard to maintain and to also keep moving forward. Our traditional folk remedies. It’s very important that we do not lose this knowledge and that we continue to engender it and to teach it in our homeschooling curriculums to the next generation.

I teach my daughter about every single plant that grows on this earth. We walk around, I show her what the plant is, what, how to identify it properly, and how to use it for very simple things. Actually, she came home the other day because I partly, I do part time home.

And then I do part-time school, elementary school.

Cause it’s down the road and she has a lot of friends and it’s a small town and it just works for us, this balance. And she came home from school and she said, mom, there was a girl in my class and she hurt her arm on the swing set. And I, so I showed her, I brought her over to the plantain that was growing and I picked the plantain leaf and I showed her how to bruise it up and I put it on her arm for her.

And she said within about two, three minutes, she felt so much relief. And she thanked me for it. And I said, good job. And this is from a seven year old. Okay. She said, good job. I said, good job on when you figured it out, you know, and you’re teaching others just by showing now she knows what that plant is.

And now she knows that if she ever hurts herself again, she can use nature’s band-aid, also known as plantain leaf to heal herself and help herself. Right? And so it’s an excellent thing to bring into your homeschool curriculum. And we actually have a board game that’s a Wildcraft. It’s called Wildcraft.

And we, so we play a board game that has little cards and it’s like a snakes and ladders kind of game, but with herbs. And so we, they have our teachable moments through games as well as walking in nature and identifying these things.

And she knows what’s edible and what’s poisonous at the age of seven.

Okay.

So one thing I wanted to mention about getting enough milk, I actually make actually my website is yummy mommy emporium.ca. If you want to see some of the tea blends I make and some of the other creams and lotions and remedies that I create by hand actually make over a hundred different remedies by hand.

That’s one of my passions. And one of my gifts is to design and to implement and create natural remedies. My, you know, in, in my own home, which is everyone’s right to do, excuse me, everyone’s right to do is to learn how to have your own home. Apothecary which is your own selection of local, because it’s gonna be different depending on where you are.

You said, you know, the show is all over the world. So wherever you are, you’re gonna have a different subsection of botanicals that grow in your backyard that you’re gonna wanna learn about.

So I would suggest joining like a local Facebook group or something that talks about the botanical world around you, and start to just find one thing and bring that into your world and bring it into your household and use this, the simple applications for it.

And then once you’ve mastered that one, you work onto the next and onto the next and so forth. But one of the great herbs for assisting breast milk to, to encourage breast milk well, there’s a bunch I like to use red raspberry leaf.

That’s a big one.

It also assist’s the uterus to tonify up after birth.

And so red raspberry leaf, just where we get our raspberries from, you know, a raspberry cane. Pick your raspberries, eat your raspberries. Well, don’t forget about that leaf. You, it’s very pokey. There’s a lot of thorns on it. But you take some scissors and a bit of gloves and you clip off the three, there’s three pronged leaf and you let it dry and then you store it in some paper bags and just label it and date it and use that for tea.

And encourages the breast milk to form.

And it you can take it during pregnancy and you can take it after pregnancy. It will ripen the uterus and prepare it for a great birth, and it will prepare the breast milk and it will help gently balance the hormones as well.

And then after birth, it will help with the tonification and the uterus.

That’s a muscle just come back into form and, into it, the correct size. Oats straw is another great remedy that goes really nicely with red raspberry leaf. They can, they pair together very nicely. It tastes very nicely and it’s very nourishing to the nervous system. So to the brain, to the. And to the nervous system as a whole.

As well, I like to use nettle, nettle leaf. It’s high in vitamin C. It’s high in lots of minerals, so it’s a very nourishing herb. And breast milk meat is growing and being created not only from hormones, but from all of the nutrients. It’s needs to be nutrient rich. So the more nutrient rich teas and botanicals that you can bring in, the better.

There’s fenugreek, that’s another one that really assists the milk letdown. That’s easy to obtain in a seed format. You can add it into a tea as well. You can use well, fennel is another really nice one also is a digestive aid, so you can use fennel as well. And it helps the taste of the tea.

And there’s hops. Hops is in beer and actually wrote a blog article on On how to increase breast milk production by drinking deionized beer. So they make the beer and then they remove the alcohol and it’s beer made with hops. And so it’s the hops and the beer assists the breast milk production.

And I loved doing that when I was nursing because I kind of, you know, you have to be pretty puritan when you’re having a baby and when you’ve had a baby. When you’re nursing, you can’t take a lot of things, you know, you can’t go for go partying and stuff. You have to it’s kind of a prudent lifestyle.

But in my case, it was like every night I would have this cold beer and it. It felt like I was relaxing for myself. It was a nice little ritual I was doing, and my breast milk really started to flourish when I was doing that. Breast milk is best. Breast is best. It’s always going to be best.

You have a vaccine industry that is hell bent against anything natural and making sure that you don’t breastfeed your child because they don’t like the fact that your breast milk actually gives a very strong natural immunity to the child. In their mind it’s competition in their psychopathic mind.

Your breast milk is competition to their poisonous vaccines that they’re claiming gives you immunity, which it doesn’t anyway. But that’s their thinking. So they’ll often say that it’s bad to breastfeed. And as well, there’s other industry tied in, like Nestle formula, for example which is one way if you wanna have a child that has seizures, has seizure disorders, and has chronic gut inflammation, leaky gut, and allergies, go ahead and give them that formula, because that’s what that’s going to do.

So you wanna avoid giving this type of formula, which is absolute garbage full of corn syrup and dyes and other pesticide residues. Your milk, your breast milk is designed specifically for the child not only for the immunoglobulins and the all the immune enhancing aspects of the breast. But more so the intimacy and the touch between the mouth and the nipple and the nervous system connection, the stimulatory connection of the brain for that action.

And the subtle, more subtle aspects that are in the milk that are very specifically designed for that child. Just by feedback from the saliva. So the breast will, breast milk will actually adjust itself depending on the saliva back feed that it gets, which is in unbelievable.

When you think about, and this is science.

This is actually science, this is studied, this is understood that there’s an intelligence way beyond you cannot simply substitute breast milk for formula. How ignorant and foolish can we be when we have this intricate, beautiful wonderful source that comes right out of your own body that is specifically designed for your own child from moment to moment and will change depending on weather will change depending on the time of day will change depending on the feedback of the child that is more intricate and profound than what is really understood about breast milk.

Personally, I breastfed my child till she was three. She has never been to a doctor or hospital. Whatsoever. I have doctored her, myself at home whenever necessary. And because she’s never been vaccinated or given antibiotics or given even a Tylenol, she doesn’t get sick. So I rarely even need to intervene and spend a lot of stress and energy and time to medicate her or to interfere with anything because she doesn’t get anything.

She’ll get bruises cause she’s very active, so I’ll treat her bruises. She just got, had an occasional bee sting that we’ve dealt with and I’ll talk about that in a minute. She’s had some congestion a couple of times based on, you know, way too long of a winter in a dusty house where, you know, it’s at the end of the winter it gets pretty

You really need to open some windows and we will sometimes, even if it’s cold, cause we’re up here in a extreme long winter, it’s like eight, nine months of winter. So, by the end of winter sometimes I find she gets a little bit congested. Right. But that’s easily sold., really, that’s what we experience. She doesn’t get colds anymore.

She doesn’t get any kind of the diseases that we see. She certainly doesn’t have anything related to autism. She certainly doesn’t have anything related to learning difficulties or deficients. She is most high energy, vibrant, thriving, intelligent, emotionally intelligent bright, like a spark in her that is so incredible that you don’t see that in a poison child.

Lotus Birth, Infant Development, and Early Parenting

Amandha: Okay. And it’s a, also what I did with her, which is very rarely done, is what’s called a lotus birth. A lotus birth is when you leave the umbilical cord and the placenta attached to the child until it naturally falls off.

Because one of the things I had read when I was doing my research is that all of the ancient sages of our time, whether it be Buddha or Jesus, or any of these masters, if you will they had lotus births and it just came to me at this.

Specific time in my research and I thought, I think that’s what I’m going to do. I never felt comfortable with cutting off something that had been growing with my child for nine months. In fact, in certain studies they have seen the child in utero hugging the placenta licking and kissing the placenta you know, snuggling with it.

And it was I wanted to honor that. That was her first experience of life was with this placenta. And so we, there’s a very specific method, so you can look that up. It’s called a lotus birth. It’s, you have to prepare the placenta in a specific way.

Basically spice it and drain it so it doesn’t rot.

You have to wrap it in a specific way, and it’s kind of like a yoga where you have to wash the baby in conjunction with this wrapped placenta until the body’s ready to let it off. And for her it was seven days. Sometimes it’s three days, sometimes it’s longer. So, for her it was seven days and it came off that way.

So there was no cutting even required.

And you see that again, you know, you especially, the problem is that the placenta is cut before it’s even finished.

All of the blood and the stem cells have not come from the placenta back into the child because the child is squeezed through the birth canal, which is very important.

To the nervous system, that squeezing motion, not only that the gut is seated, is the, at that point with the bacteria that’s in the vaginal canal that sets up the gut and the immune system for life. So going through the vaginal canal is essential, it’s a must. In order to have proper gut bacteria, they’ve done studies on c-section babies versus vaginal birth babies, and they have completely different microflora in the gut.

And the C-section babies tend to have high prevalence of allergies and other issues compared to natural vaginal births. And really what should be happening in C-sections is the vaginal fluoresce should be swabbed, and then the mouth of the child should be swabbed immediately after the c-section is performed which I don’t know if if it’s being done very much.

But the experience of allowing all of the, it should be at least a few hours if you are going to cut the placenta off, it should be allowed to stay attached for a few hours for everything to transfer over beforehand because of that squeezing.

Everything’s then in the placenta to allow for that whole process to happen.

Everything is done so perfectly. It is absolutely, the whole process is perfection. You do not need to meddle with it. And I think what’s happened in this ridiculousness based on Rockefeller medicine and that medical chemical model that destroyed the homeopathic schools, that destroyed holistic practitioners, that destroyed the tribal medicine, man or woman that destroyed all the Native American medicine.

They took over and they squashed it all of our knowledge and decided that they were the gods. They were the gods of, of the body. And you know, we have to take that, we have to take the knowledge back and take the power back away from them as best we can. But they’ve really let us walk away from God really and walk away from nature and that we don’t trust it anymore.

We think it’s dangerous or we think we’re afraid of it. It’s like we’re afraid of our own nature of who we are. And coming back into that is really where we need to be so then you have, here you have, and the funny thing is pregnancy and prep and all that is all very, super important in as as is avoiding a lot of the poking and prodding and ultrasounds and all this kind of dangerous stuff.

But then you get through that and then you’re, oh my God, I have a baby. Oh my God, I have a baby. Like, I’m supposed to take care of this thing. Like, wow. I mean, that’s, then you’re there, right? The pregnancy, oh, that’s behind you. And now you’re like, wow, okay. Now is the real stuff, right? So figuring out Breastfeeding’s very important.

I can’t tell you how many mothers have come into my store has said. I said, are you still breastfeeding? Said, oh, I’d had a really hard time with it. I got really frustrated and I didn’t have enough support. So we’re not, I’m not breastfeeding and it’s a, it’s, I cry for them. I, it’s a tragedy.

It’s a tragedy because that child now is going to have, they don’t understand.

It’s important to understand that if you put in the time and energy at the youth, in youth, you reap great rewards later in adulthood because you will not have chronic illness. You will not have mental illness. You will not have these repercussions that will then be just put off till later. But worse if you go through the discomfort at the beginning, if you go through the discipline at the at in youth.

if you put in the effort to establish a very strong, robust terrain on that child, it pays off and it continues to pay off.

And I, funny enough, I learned this, I was going to be a veterinarian before I went into naturopathic college. So I learned this through studying animals and looking at how animals who were given enough support in nutrition, how they thrive later in life.

Sorry about that.

So one thing I realized was in these particular kittens that came my way through my parents, actually my parents do a lot of cat rescue. And they ended up, I know we’re coming to the top of our, is there break at the top of the hour on the show?

Host: Yeah, no, just go to payment, man now.

Amandha: No, you’re good. Okay. Okay, great. Anyway I, these four cats came my way. Lucky enough, they didn’t, they came unvaccinated. And of course I wasn’t going to poison them with the knowledge that I had, and I was able to at that time, purchase raw raw food for them, raw cat food which is very carefully prepared.

And so I raised them on herbs, on being outside cats and on raw food and as well as homeopathy. And they thrived very well. And to this day, I not only have one of those cats left, because they’re also very adventurous, but 10 years, 11 years later, I have one of these cats still with me with absolutely zero health problems whatsoever.

And he’s a, an amazing animal. But what I realized in that the payoff, the just that payoff for when you assist the body to mature through its growth years, through its rapid cellular explosion, if you will, that it, once you treat it so finely that you get health as a result, you don’t get sickness as a result.

And that’s really what I wanna encourage everyone who’s listening to really, if they think it’s hard that’s not hard. Having your child die, you know, dying is hard. Having your child in a hospital is hard, you know, having your child go through surgeries, that’s hard.

You know?

But putting the effort in youth that’s worth it.

Host Q&A: Measles, Mumps, Fevers, and Childhood Care

Amandha: And it’s a joy. It can be a joy to do it as a

Host: Yeah. Miss Amandha. Yeah. Miss Amandha. It seems that, you know, one of the biggest fears because of all the fear mongering with everyone is you know, you made a very valid point that if you start young and we’re feeding our children, you know, real food, drinking real water, I would be nice if we could breathe real air, but kind of don’t have too much control over that. And many people feel like they don’t have control over food either, because it seems like everywhere you turn it’s very difficult to get food that is actually of a benefit for you. I mean, even fruits and vegetables at this point are being poisoned with, you know, heavy amounts of chemicals.

So in the case that saw a child gets measles and or mumps, what do you suggest for them to take care of their children?

Amandha: Okay, well, you know, that’s a very hot topic right now because every year the handlers decide on what the propaganda and fear porn is gonna be for any given year.

So this year it happened to be measles again.

So it’s very much in our minds even though there really wasn’t any kind of epidemic that’s unusual or not normal. Generally speaking, as more suppressive drugs and are used and as we’re not allowed to go through normal healthy expressions like the measles. We’re gonna see worsening cases of it, or more cases of it, or just fluctuations of it that are pretty normal and natural in any given population.

Now, what typically measles is, it’s not a disease, it’s not a virus. What it is a deficiency. So typically what we’re seeing is a deficiency in vitamin A. So if the child has enough Vitamin-A in the system they will not go through the shedding of the extra material that happens during growth spurts.

So normally what’ll happen when you have rapid cell turnover, you also have rapid cell death. So you have a change of so imagine you’re building something. Look at the amount of mess that is created when you’re building something. All that debris and all that waste, it has to get out of the body.

When there’s all the proper nutrients available, then it will go out through the normal expression like the liver and the kidneys.

It will go through the bowels, and any excess gases will just be blown off through the lungs. And that’s the normal way of getting outta the body. If there’s a deficiency for, in this situation, a deficiency of vitamin A, then the body will go through a different route of elimination, and that is through the skin.

So you will see the traditional, you know, measles expression of the red marks on the skin and the fever will ensue and so forth. And those conditions, and it’s a little bit different for different terrains and even different you know, backgrounds genetic backgrounds. But what’s happening is your own cells, your own blood cells are changing format in a pleomorphic fashion to create the specific expression of those diseases, of those sorry, of those materials.

Okay?

So that’s what’s happening there.

So if encourage the child to eat enough carrots or offer carrot juice, that’s generally enough vitamin A for that to be avoided. You can supplement with cod liver oil that has vitamin D and vitamin A in fortified with it.

That’s another prevention for that.

Really you won’t get an expression of that if you are as you said, giving good water, making sure the food is ample, you’re not giving them sugar, you’re not loving them with sugar rather than loving them with like carrots, right?, because a lot of, and you see a lot of people, especially grandparents, love to do this.

Like, oh, just give them whatever they want. You know, they want that candy or they want that thing that has, you know, F,D and C red in it, or blue in it. Where is that gonna go in the body? It’s gonna go in the cells, and then you’re gonna have a cell to cell communication problem.

You’re gonna have extra debris in the system.

And then when you come across this growth milestone that tends to happen at different segments in different times or different stimulatory times, you’re not gonna be able to naturally overcome that debris through the regulatory excretion organs. It’s gonna have to come out through the skin. And that goes for almost all the diseases of infants or childhood for the most part, other than if it’s ingested.

That’s different. I don’t call those diseases at all. To me, that’s non disease to me, a. Is a disease force that is gone on long and lingered in the body like a chronic sort of disease acutely. It’s usually a poisoning or it’s from a nutritional deficiency. That’s really what you can always break it down into.

So obviously my child, if they’re having that, there’s not enough nutrition in the system to do the job or they’re poisoned by something and the body’s trying to get the poison out of the body, and that’s the expression of the symptoms. So you can always boil it down to those two things. The genetic aspect of it is very rare and is generally from longstanding deficiencies or longstanding poisonings.

That’s a se as a secondary effect. So really it comes down to just making sure there’s enough of vitamin A in the system for prevention of measles. Mumps is a problem of the lymphatic system. So you have basically debris in the lymphatic system and it’s not being mobilized appropriately. Typically you’ll see mumps in the vaccinated population and that’s the other thing.

You will see measles and you will see mumps and you’ll see these problem. In nine times, outta 10 in vaccinated individuals because they’ve been already poisoned. So their bodies are not working properly to get rid of the toxins. And that’s the irony of the whole situation is that you’re reading these studies or you’ll see some propaganda news about all this terrain, or sorry, all this that, you know, the unvaccinated magically caused this problem, right?

And then you look at the statistics of who actually got the disease and it was the ones who were already vaccinated. So how is your vaccine working then? Because that doesn’t make any sense. If you are giving something that’s supposed to protect against the disease, then you shouldn’t get the disease and nobody should be able to give you the disease because you are supposed to be protected.

But what we’re seeing is actually vaccinated populations are the ones that are getting these diseases and because they’re so poisoned and there’s so many more vaccines that are being given that they’re, the expressions are more intense, they’re worse, and they can become killer at that point.

Because now the normal natural mechanisms that the body uses to remove poisons, to remove debris is they’re not working properly. And if those are gummed up, then it’s coming out through the skin. Then the body’s blood is going to be damaged, the lymph is gonna be overwhelmed, and that’s where you can get deaths from.

You know, that’s where things can get pretty serious. And if they only knew how to use homeopathic remedies, then right there, you could assist the body to go through the symptoms much quicker and much easier. And then you get cure from that and that’s another way that one that you could use. If you had a measles situation, you would definitely want to use homeopathic remedies, for example.

And I’ll explain what homeopathic remedies are cause I know that it had been mentioned to do that. So I will. But. For example, there’s a homeopathic remedy called Ferrum phosphoricum. So Ferrum phos it’s basically iron foss and phosphorus together in a homeopathic preparation, and that is given for fevers.

And so when my daughter was going through her normal childhood expressions, which are known called Xans in the medical literature, so it was anan of childhood that she’d get a couple colds and these kinds of things, which were normal for her body just to go through some of that expression of material as she’s growing.

And also for her terrain or for her body to engage with the environment and learn what’s self and what’s not self. So there’s a very critical time period where the body’s trying to learn what is me and what is not me. And so anything that’s not me that gets into me has to be removed. And so you’ll get some expression of phlegm and that kind of thing for that not me stuff to get out.

So I would assist her if she had a fever. She did have every child has to usually get a first uti to prime that system as well. When she had her first uti that were very specific homeopathics I used for that. But one of them I like to do in fever is called Ferrum Phos. and there’s different numbering systems with homeopathics, and I’ll explain those in a moment.

And I usually, typically will give more an acute numbering for that, which would be around a 12 ch or a 30 ch numbering system for the Ferrum Phos.

And I would give her a dose before bed. And what it would do is just help her. It won’t suppress the fever because you don’t want to take away the fever.

You want the fever to work for you, which is helping you heal yourself. Actually, people who have cancer, typically one of the red flags of you having cancer is that you don’t produce fevers.

But what happens is at night you get night sweats, and that’s the body really trying hard at rest to make and mount fever because the fever is part of the natural immune system that helps you remove toxic debris from the body.

And if you don’t, can’t speed up the temperature, get the temperature to move for you, then you you clog up and you can’t remove that debris and then that’s eventually going to lead to tumors and so on. So for Ferrum phos, we give that in high fevers to assist the body, to manage the fever, as well as to allow for sleep so that the child can sleep comfortably and not in a discomfort situation with a fever.

And that’s a very simple remedy that can be given orally and off the go to sleep. So I have used that quite a number of times in my daughter when she’s. You know, a few fevers. And now she, we haven’t used that remedy in many years because she doesn’t get any of these things anymore. So is, does that answer your question?

Host Q&A: Healthcare, Consultations, and Chronic Illness

Host: Okay. Oh yeah, that was great. Oh, okay. I’m wondering, so for everyone out there I mean, I know you take consultations so, you know, people go to like the regular doctor, if that’s what you wanna call them, like western medicine, like, you know, what is set up in the system is what everybody knows to do, and that’s usually what’s covered by insurance.

Host: I’m gonna assume that you’re not covered by any insurance. You can’t take insurance, can you?

Amandha: No. And you know, the insurance system has come in as part of the medical scam. Okay. Because it ropes you in to oh, or offers it in that way, where now you, you are, you have to go to that. Like, it makes, it, makes it oh, I ha I want insurance so that I want these things.

Now it’s different in the state saying Canada and Canada, we have a socialized healthcare system. So we have OIP and BA in Ontario here, and basically if I have any emergency and I need the hospital, which is what it’s for then I’m covered. It’s automatically covered for that, but you have more privatized healthcare systems, so it’s different.

So you kind of get more roped into the whole insurance part of it, right? Because you want those emergency services if that ever comes up. But really ultimately needing it for anything else is to be avoided, like for even most acute stuff and chronic disease. So no in Ontario or in other regulated where naturopathic medicine is regulated there in some people’s insurance plans, you will have insurance coverage for Naturopaths.

So you, it depends on your plan and it depends on what you’ve chosen, you know, so you might have, or some people have massage therapy, some, you know, like there’s different choices for that. So it depends. Now, myself, I’m, I’ve chosen to remain unlicensed as a naturopath, and so what I’ve done to compensate that is I charge a lot less.

So, it’s generally affordable for people to do it.

Host: Yeah so people can basically hire you and you can be their advisor and doctor, and if something does come up with their child and, you know, you can advise people into having a healthier life from the get-go. So that you didn’t really need emergency medicine or have to go.

Cause I heard you talking about the dentist too. And about, you know, they make you so here in the states in, you know, I live in pa, we’re all forced to get healthcare. You have to have it. And then, you know, funny things happen and they make you checkups through go to the checkups and tell you when you’ve missed it and all that stuff, so, but if you’re healthy, you don’t need them. So going to someone like yourself would be very beneficial for people. How would it work for them? I mean, do they, do you have like a monthly subscription? Do you know, you set up initial consultation and then follow through from there?

Amandha: Yeah, generally, well, it depends on what people need or want so essentially I’m acting as health coach in a lot of senses, right?

Because I have an intake form. I look at what’s going on with that individual, and then I have generally an hour, I book an hour session to have a conversation either over Skype or Zoom or even on the phone and just sort of get a feel for what’s happening with them.

And depending on the case, because it’s all over the place, sometimes there’s acute stuff and we just deal with it, that particular thing in the moment and other, or it’s a chronic situation.

And depending on the level of how that chronic situation is or what they want it could be something that’s we see each other every month or I just set them on their way for that thing and they work with a protocol or they work with what I’ve suggested.

So it’s a bit of a range depending. So a lot of people will book with me and once I have the conversation with them, I just give them a lot of information and direction on what to do. And yeah, we’ve avoided, I mean, I’ve avoided a lot of removals of gallbladders and appendixes and tonsils and avoiding tubes and these kinds of surgeries, unnecessary surgeries and all kinds of stuff, right?

Just by educating, because really doctor is teacher, so that’s what that means in Latin. And so working to teach that individual about their bodies is really important and it’s, it is part of it to educate.

Host: So, okay. Well, let me, sorry, go ahead, so go ahead well, you said something about chronic illness, so such as like cancer that’s also treatable without like chemo and radiation.

How do you go about scanning the body for cancer?

Host: Can you do that afar with people or do

Amandha: Yeah, generally. You usually send ’em to, well, a good practitioner knows how to take an proper intake form and ask the appropriate questions and knows the symptom pictures for different situations so that you can understand if they’re in danger of having cancer or so forth.

You don’t, I don’t need to do tests and scans and all that kind of stuff. I know a lot of people love that they depend on that, but a good healer, a real good healer needs none of it.

Sometimes what I’ll need is because we’re being sprayed with heavy metals all the time now I do often ask them to get a heavy metals test so we know what metals we’re dealing with.

That I find very helpful because that’s more difficult to see with observation and symptoms and that kind of thing.

Because it’s based on different absorption rates of that person and also their genetic background and exposures. We, it’s hard for us to link those all together in a conversation.

So often I’ll get them to do a hair analysis or a blood test for those things, and, but otherwise, no. Usually, most people, I would say 60 to 70% of people who come to me, they’re, they’ve been through the ringer already, so they’ve already gone through the conventional system, the conventional systems toss them out saying, nothing more we can do for you.

Or they’ve just given them endless amounts of drugs and they’re tired of being on the drugs because they’re being, they’re not getting.

And they’ve also, I hear a lot of the stories where they’ve been to every single specialist and back and forth and wasting their time, and they’re nowhere and they’re frustrated.

And I get a lot of people like that as well. The rest of the participants will be having symptoms and they hate doctors and they won’t go. So they then they’re the smart ones, then they just need direction because they’re a little bit lost with the amount of information.

So what I do is I help them to funnel and filter the information so they know what to do next.

I also get a lot of people who have self-educated and they’re taking way too much stuff. They’re on all kinds of things and they don’t have a very directed plan in place. So then I help sort of shed what they’re taking, and you don’t need this and this, you need and that kind of stuff. And then sort of fine tune what they’re doing so they’re actually effective and make sure they’re not making mistakes like in diet or in lifestyle that often you can’t see in your for your own self.

So you get a good reflection of what you’re doing. And then a very tiny percentage of people, which I wish was, most of the people are about prevention, where they actually right, want to prevent disease. And so they come with wanting to be taught about, like, one of the things I teach is about dimethyl sulfoxide or DMSO.

which should be in every pharmacy, which should be in every street corner, which should be in every household. And I, you know, I’ll tell them how to utilize that properly, or I’ll tell them how to you know, change some of the things in their lifestyle or wherever they’re stuck, you know, working through something or where they don’t feel optimal, some of the things they haven’t considered.

And we have those kinds of conversations, which are usually very enlightening and very enjoyable as well to actually prevent the situation or to enrich them to take them up the next level. Right? So that seems to be the majority of it. But it’s very, it’s quite varied what I get. And I, and as far as cancers and that kind of thing, most people already have the diagnosis when they come to a person like myself and they’re afraid of chemo and radiation and they want opinions around it.

Generally I will tell them to, it’s obviously gonna be their choice, but they have to be educated to make that choice. So I give them the full informed consent about what they’re getting into, and then I help them understand that poisoning an already poisoned system is not ever going to heal anything.

And once they get that, they. Typically avoid going through any of that and they accept emotionally what’s happened to them because a lot of cancers have an emotional core to them. And if you don’t deal with the emotional root cause of the cancer, you can do all kinds of treatment. You do holistic treatment, you can do chemo, you can do whatever, and it’s never gonna heal because that is one of the things that started them off.

You often see, for example a family member dying and then a couple years later that the one of the people that lost that family member love cancer, right? So that’s, you see that all the time, like breast cancer or prostate cancer from a death, right? Because they haven’t been able to, or the mourning caused so much stress in them and their nutrition wasn’t quite where should have been that it put them over the top for developing a metabolic derangement.

And that led to tissues going awry. And then the development of certain tumors, which is actually just a symptom of cancer and is not cancer itself. So, But I just wanna explain, because I was asked just to briefly explain homeopathic medicine and how beautiful it is and how powerful and useful it is.

Homeopathy: Origins, Potency, and Personal Experiences

Amandha: And also for parents to have remedies at hand. I, what I would suggest is every parent should go online and buy a general kit of like the 200 CH or 30 CH remedies like a hundred remedies, just of all the general remedies. And just have that, and that’s your main first aid kit. I suggest that because once you start to learn about it and you start to employ it and realize how powerful it is and realize that you always have a remedy available for anything, you can buy a good book to go along with the that, or you can use the internet as your guide to understand the remedies.

It is so empowering, especially as a mother. The mothers tend to be the healers in the family dynamic. And as a mother to have that, when you know you have a sick child going through something, then you have something, a remedy that you can use at every, that’s very simple, that won’t interfere with anything.

And it’s a very elegant and beautiful medicine and it cures, it actually does not suppress it cures. And what it, the goals of homeopathy it, it really puts the problem to rest one way or another. And homeopathy is a very ancient study. Really, it was born again around the turn of the century with Hahnemann Samuel Hahnemann, who studied a specific remedy and cured essentially malaria using this chin cin remedy that was from a bark of a tree.

And he, what he realized is, well, some of these remedies the dose really matters. Like the dose is the poison, if you will. So if you did like a really high dose of something, it can kill you. But if you did a really super low dose of that same thing, it actually can heal you. And he understood that as well as he understood the power of water.

That water has very unique principles to it, it seems to hold memory. It seems to be able to have different stages and of change that other liquids don’t have it’s a very unique substance, and it’s a substance of life. And what he did is he utilized the principles of using small doses and potentizing or charging electrically.

Using water to do so and that is why we see all this numbering system in homeopathy and basic, basically what is taking that making a mother tincture from that substance.

So whatever, it could be anything. It could be what’s called an imponderable. It could be plastic, it could be Coca-Cola, it could be whatever.

You can make homeopathic remedy from literally anything.

So let’s just take a plant, for example. We’ll take a plant leaf and we’ll crush it down and we’ll soak it in water. And then you take one drop of that, which is called the mother tincture, and you place it in 99 drops of water and you put a little lid on that and you succuss it, which they actually used to use a leather bound bible to do this by rapidly striking the base of the vial about a hundred times, depending, and this is where the numbering system comes in a hundred times.

And then you take one drop of that and you, which is now potent, and add it into another 99 drops of water and do it again and do it again. And you can do this as many times as you want.

So the one drop in 99 drops because that’s, so, that’s your a hundred drops and then how many times you dilute that would make it.

So a hundred is c or centa right? So that’s where you get the C from and how many times you diluted it is your number. So if you diluted it and suc cussed it 12 times, then it’s a 12 ch okay? And if you did that 30 times, it’s a 30 ch. If you did that 200 times, you have a 200 ch.

If it was one drop in nine drops, that’s a deca that’s a 10.

And that’s the symbol for that is an X. So you’ll see then if you did that three times, you’d have a three x. If you did that 12 times, you’d have a 12 x. You see? So that’s how the dilution and seclusion is potentizing this remedy. And that’s the wording that’s used in homeopathy, the amount of volumes of remedies in the material medica and in the volumes of symptomatology that comes through this is absolutely profound and monumental.

And it’s laughable. It’s laughable that this modern medical mafia, as I call it, insults and degrades and poo-poos this incredible volume of knowledge that exists and that’s used. It may, I mean, in India it’s used all over the place. It the British Royals have used homeopathy for centuries. I mean, like, don’t tell me it it’s quackery.

Okay.

I remember my first “Ah-Ha” with homeopathic medicine, and it was with one of my cats who got stung by something. I don’t see what it was, but it stung on the face and her face was swelling up, and it was impeding on her eye. It was so swollen. And at the time I was working for a holistic veterinarian and his wife, who was also a veterinarian, they were superheroes.

I mean, he was a naturopath and a vet. He had his also his acupuncture training specifically in China. He did like, he was just a amazing man. And I worked for him for a while when I was also working as a lab animal scientist in, at the University of Alberta. I was tending to animals then.

So everything was about animals.

Cause that’s what I wanted to do to go into VetMed. And I ran over there on my bike and I said, oh my gosh, this is happening. What do I do? And Karen, which is his wife, said just very casually, she, oh, just go over to the homeopathic drawer and pull it out. Go to the A section and grab Apus 30 and just go and give her, just shove a few pellets in her cheek and wait 15 minutes.

And if it’s not all gone down by 15 minutes, give her a second dose. And as I’m riding my bike back to my house, I’m thinking ahead. 15 minutes, like these pellets are gonna get her swelling down within 15 minutes. I didn’t believe it. I just didn’t believe it. But I was willing to do it. I applied the medicine, I just snuck it into her cheek, and I literally wanted to watch this.

So I sat in front of her and I stared at her for the entire time, and before my eyes. I watched her face shrinking and removing the swelling as, and I’m freaking out because I’m witnessing this happen. And it went right down to almost normal and about 15 minutes or so, and it had stopped.

Then it stopped it, there was still some swelling.

She said if there was still swelling, give another dose. So I gave another dose and I continued to watch it go back to normal from two doses of Apis mellifica, which is homeopathic honeybee. And after that, I was a convert. That was it. I wanted to know everything I possibly could about this medicine. I even took a remedy course of animal homeopathy from the British Institute of Homeopathic Medicine in the uk.

The UK is also a very strong proponent of homeopathy. There’s a lot of good schools there. And so I got my certification in that as well. And that’s, and it was just, sky’s the limit from there because when it’s something that powerful, you you don’t turn away.

So having that as a parent in your house, I’ve used various homeopathics on my child, and I’ll give you a general run through just so you have some tools of some of the commonly used remedies for commonly used things that we see in childhood.

So it’s a good thing if you maybe take a pen and paper and just maybe write some of these things down because then you can start with that list. Because we know what we see over and over again in childhood.

And of course it can be used in animals and it can be used in, of course, adults. So it’s not just about babies and children.

Homeopathic Applications: Digestion, Injuries, and Ear Concerns

Amandha: It’s safe to use also in anyone who has medication, and that’s another really wonderful trait of homeopathics because a lot of botanical medicines or even a lot of other nutraceuticals can interfere with certain drugs.

So you have to be very wary of what you’re mixing and what you have to know, what you’re doing.

But with homeopathics, you don’t see that. So you can be safely giving those remedies without interference. For example, in childhood you might see constipation. You see constipation a lot in babies, especially once you start to wean the child into either. If you do end up weaning and you go into some sort of formula or goat’s milk or something like that, then you might see constipation or when you’re weaning them onto foods, which should be done very slowly.

And only I usually about the age of one is when you really start to my dog deem want foods until she’s about one anyway. Generally, teeth start to crop up. Generally they’re interested in food and that’s the right time to start feeding them. You don’t need to do anything before that time. And also before I go on, I just wanted to say you start to use fresh juices, like fresh carrot juice, fresh apple juice that you make yourself to transition.

And one of the feedings in that day as you’re weaning is a juice, and then the rest is still breast milk. And then you slowly start to move off of it that way and it’s, it reduces a lot of the constipation but if there is constipation, there’s a homeopathic remedy called Nux vomica and you can use a 30 CH for that.

200 as well is used, 200 ch. And that can also be used for a lot of liver congestion or liver disorders. Nux vomica is traditionally used in adults who imbibe. They imbibe in coffee and alcohol. They overdo their stress, they work too hard, they burn the candle at both ends. That’s the remedy for that.

I had a spontaneously miraculous healing with Nux vomica on my boyfriend when I was going through naturopathic college. He was drinking a lot of booze. He was always drinking and he was having a hard time emotionally and he was really abusing his liver. And I remember he came in with a hangover and my thought was, well, that’s a kind of a Nux vomica.

So I will give him Nux vomica. He ended up passing out in a deep healing sleep for about 20 hours he stayed asleep in my bedroom for 20 hours. And when he, and, but before he did that, when the remedy, once the remedy absorbed in his mouth, he actually laughed like a hyena for about 10 minutes.

He laughed as this expression came out of him, like was just some release out of him. And he also then wept for another 10 or 15 minutes before he fell asleep for that period of time.

And he woke up a completely different person.

He stopped drinking at that point. It’s like he went through quite a tragedy.

He lost his brother in a car accident suddenly. And, you know, he was never well since, and the remedy just reset him and healed him and emotionally as well. So it was the, it was a correct constitutional remedy for him as well, not just in acute. See, I gave it to him for an acute healing, not realizing that he also had a constitutional or a deeper level need for that remedy.

So that just happened to educate me on all the possibilities on for that but upset stomach, it can help contusions and bruises. A lot of people who are familiar with homeopathic medicine, even just a little bit will know about Arnica, can be used as its herbal in its her herbal format. I sell it I make a SAV of Arnica, for example.

So you can use it topically as a sav, but I like to use it orally, especially if it’s been, it’s quite a trauma that they’ve had where maybe they’ve fallen quite severely or they’ve bang themselves.

And the sooner you get the Arnica in the body, what’s so incredible about it is you won’t even form the bruise.

It will stop internal bleeding. I will encourage people to take arnica who are athletes because they’re you know, constantly sort of damaging the muscle so it assists in healing that quickly.

In recovery.

Any kind of animal who like races or runs a lot, it can do well, like horses can do well from taking arnica in a general term.

But arnica is really great my daughter, you know, is playing and she hurts herself. One of the first things I do is offer her arnica and she won’t even form a bruise because it stops the internal bleeding right on the spot. So that’s a huge one, especially if you have a child who’s hit their head if they’ve fall and they’ve hit their head, you know, that can be very severe.

You can get subdermal subdural hematomas from that and that can kill you. So if you can apply or give the arnica’ right away, you can stop that from actually forming and that’s a big deal. And I usually for Arnica usually use a lower potency, like a six, 12 or 30 ch of that B stings, as I had just told you about the cat Apis mellifica homeopathic apus is excellent for any kind of sting or wound, and not to gross you out, but an amazing remedy for any type of bite, including a snake bite, including you know, jellyfish sting is actually your own urine.

After you have waited 10 seconds after you’ve been bitten once 10 seconds have passed there, the body makes its own antidote and it is already situated in the, through the kidneys. And it’s sit in, it’s in the bladder within 10 seconds. And I actually got to experience this with my own daughter because last spring, the, when the wasps started to wake up, they’re kind of wonky.

When they wake up they’re all over the place.

And we were at the park and there was one sitting on her bike handle. So when she grabbed her bike to take it, it bit her. And she screamed like the dickens. And I immediately pulled her off into the bush and I told her, it’s okay, it’s gonna be okay in a second.

And I had her urinate in my hand and I immediately put the urine on the wound right away. And I put three drops of it under her tongue and within a few seconds she stopped screaming and all the pain was gone. And not only that, it, I didn’t even need to use apus, even though when we got home, I gave it to her, but nothing materialized off that sting.

She got no swelling. She had no more pain. Usually it will swell and then you get itching and then you get secondary infection and all this stuff. It was like nothing actually happened. You can look up on YouTube. There’s a lot of urine therapy discussion and that kind of thing. You know, it’s a bigger topic, but I wanted to just, if you’re in an emergency situation and you have no remedy and you’re bitten by something that can kill you, like a poisonous snake, definitely employ that remedy.

I highly recommend it. But a I is the homeopathic remedy used for ear infections, usually you won’t get ear infections unless you’re vaccinated. It’s very unlikely it’s rare. Ear infections are usually what you get when you’re vaccinated or you can get it from when you’ve used antibiotics.

The remedies for that, there’s two really good ones. One is pulsatilla. Pulsatilla is used when the pain seems to move around, so it’s in one ear and then it’s in the next, and then they kind of feel it in the throat, and then they might feel a different pain in the different part of the body. Or they feel restless and they’re not quite, they wanna always move around or they can’t get comfortable.

That’s a, that’s pulsatilla keep ourself, which is H E P A R. And then Sulf is the second word is another traditional ear infection remedy. And it’s typically for that type of separation of infection where there’s maybe some Material coming out of the ear and or there’s really clogged up ears.

And that’s usually a remedy to go to for that as well. You can use something called Kali bichromicum which is for like glue ear or it’s really stuck mucus. It’s not moving. So Kali bichromicum homeopathic will move mucus. It will also is a great sinus remedy. I give it often to my daughter or anyone who has a child will have naturally swollen adenoids.

And that’s something that the doctors love to jump on a normal natural physiological process, they will call pathological. So they will say that, oh, the adenoids are swollen. They’d have to come out. But what they won’t tell you is that it’s a normal natural feature of age between five and seven for the adenoids to swell.

That is normal.

It will do that. You just wanna make the child comfortable through sleep. Maybe put a vaporizer in the room, maybe use a natural vapor rub. I make one on my website. You can see it. It’s a natural lighter version of a, of like Vix. VIX is really strong and petroleum based, so it has toxins in it.

But this one is a natural beeswax version of that. And it’s a lighter amount of essential oils and it’s very effective for like asthma or any chest congestion or any breathing type of issues of sinus congestion.

So I usually will apply that on the front and back of the chest and have a vaporizer in the room.

And then offer Kali bichromicum. What it does is it helps the mucus loosen up and move out which is what you really want to encourage and not go in and cut out a vital lymphatic tissue. That’s what that is. What it eventually will do once it swells is it’s actually changing cellular form.

So when things are changing cellular form, you get some swelling.

That’s just normal. And what’ll start to happen after the swelling phase is it will actually recede and the adenoids will start to recede back and shrink and become part of the lymphoid tissue. So it’s a vital part of the immune system getting rid of any of these organs.

Like the tonsils and the adenoids is silliness.

It will lead to later problems in life. Might not hit you until you’re in your forties, but then you’re going to be suffering in your forties.

So don’t fall for this lie of the, these surgeons and doctors that wanna make more money off of you. That’s a normal natural physiological response.

When the tonsils are swollen, they’re working, that’s not a problem. It’s not a pathology to have a swollen tonsil. The tonsils are swollen because there’s something the body needs to figure out. There’s something that, it’s feedback looping into the rest of the lymphatic tissue to help your own cells identify something that is foreign to it.

It’s actually one of the first sensors when you eat something that tells your nervous system what you’re eating, that immediately goes to the brain through the lymph the lymphatic through the limbic system. Okay? So don’t, as soon as they say stuff you need, these things, just say, well, I appreciate your opinion, doc, but I’m, I’ve got a different idea and I think we’re gonna go to homeopathics and we’re gonna give some Kali bichromicum for some of that congestion.

And I’m gonna give some colloidal silver, which everyone, every parent should have colloidal silver on hand to give, to assist any kind of throat swelling, especially if there is strep. I just posted today on my Facebook page that we doctors are over-prescribing antibiotics, so only 10% of and children.

But this was a state not in adults, but it’s also seen in children who have sore throats, actually have strep throat. Doctors have overprescribed over-prescribed antibiotics to 60% of all sore throat cases. And this is from the, from jama, the Journal of American Medical Association from 2014. And then, so what they’re doing is they’re giving 60% antibiotics when you only have 10% of an actual issue of a strep agent present.

And if you just gave one ounce of colloidal silver twice a day for an adult and half an ounce, twice a day for child of coloidial silver, you will get rid of the strep situation in the throat and assist any sore throat immediately, if my child feels any sore throat, even if she was exposed to toxin, whatever happened that’s immediately what I give her.

And she has relief from that right away as well. Ginger and lemon and honey, these types of things are given as a tea to assist sore throats. But to have a cure for strep in the colloidal silver is very important. Another thing that I recommend you research and learn about is the chlorine dioxide solution.

As I mentioned about Carrie Rivera and the autism healing autism with it is a very good remedy to have on hand for any type of infection or questionable situation food poisoning, these kinds of things.

And it can go a long way to assisting all kinds of healing, especially if the gut has been thrown off of its pH and its acid balance.

It can rebuild the chloride in the gut and then assist the making of B12 and intrinsic factor and all of these things that the gut actually makes cause our bodies’, bacteria make our vitamins. So we really need to keep our bacteria wonderful and not take antibiotics. I mean, when my daughter had her UTI, it was a long road for us.

Childhood UTIs, Colic, Teething, and Home Remedies

Amandha: It was two weeks of a, of UTI infection. That had gone to her kidneys and I was treating it at home and it was kind of stressful because I didn’t expect it to go on that long. And I was also playing with different remedies. I couldn’t quite find the remedy in her case. So it took longer than I would’ve liked, but I realized in going through that process that it was worth the time and the effort and what I, the focus that I needed to give my child on that because now she has such a, she won’t get a UTI again.

She had a little blip of one the second time around to clear whatever debris happened there, and that’s, it. She has no more issues with her urinary bladder or her kidneys because I allowed it to heal itself properly and supported her through it with nutrition, with colloidal silver. I even made a homeopath maid, sorry, a, an essential oil blend called kidney and bladder blend.

You can find on my website, kidney bladder blend that I helped for some discomfort and pain, and I would rub over the kidneys on the low back and over her bladder, which really helped to alleviate a lot of that. I didn’t even I didn’t think I even had MMS in my house at the time, so I don’t think I gave that to her.

I can’t quite remember now. But I also gave her Ken Theis. Ken Theis is a homeopathic remedy that helps with burning and stinging that you get with UTIs. There’s a lot of remedies for UTIs and so like burs is another one.

So I recommend that you look and make sure you have the correct remedy when you use it in UTIs.

I have a YouTube video called a Rite of Passage on UTIs that you can look. It’s yummy Mummy Emporium and Apothecary. If you look up my business name in YouTube, you’ll find me and you’ll find that particular YouTube video that I discuss what happened with my daughter in more detail and how we remedy remedied it and what I learned from it.

Because see, I have a, I have the wounded healer path, so I tend to go through these very interesting experiences to gain insight into disease and into acute problems and so forth, and that has enriched my repertoire and my understanding of what’s going on in the body. So I use those things as opportunities to learn.

And so I shared that in that video.

But one in five emergency department visits are associated with antibiotic usage gone wrong. Did you know That’s from the Center for Disease Controls article called Antibiotic Resistant Threats in the USA from 2013. So here we have a 60% of sore throat cases given antibiotics, and then a one in five emergency department visit based on antibiotics causing problems to that person.

So who’s making the, who’s making the real issues here? Right. The hospitals and doctors themselves are the top in the top three leading causes of death in the United States and in Canada, one in, so we have cancer, heart disease, and iatrogenic or doctor caused disease as the top three killers. So that right there should tell you something.

So we wanna avoid these types of things. People are very quick to throw around the antibiotics, the Tylenol, the aspirin, Tylenol through studies have shown to cause asthma in children. They, it reduces glutathione. Oftentimes a child will get a vaccine and they produce symptoms of fever and malaise, nausea.

Other, they’ve been poisoned. So of course they’re gonna have these symptoms. But then the parent goes, oh, dear, I’ll give Tylenol. One of the worst things that you can do, you’ve just added insult to injury. The glutathione in the liver is now compromised, and the poisoning goes full-blown.

The resources of the vitamins and nutrients are used, all used up in the body, and you can situate yourself into a, situate that child into going into full-blown autism from those two together we have lots of valid scientific information on this, and we know this and what’s, what disgusted me the most is because we know this and it’s not only ignored, but it’s attacked.

It’s, it gets pretty trying when you’re trying to help people. And this is what you know is going on in their minds and it’s very upsetting. Alright, so back to the homeopathics. Colic. This is an excellent, and not well known combination that I really want you to write down for colic or certain types of upset stomach.

In adults, you use a combination of two remedies. One is called Cyn, which is c o l o c y n t h i s, Callis, 200 ch. So the number on it is 200 ch. At the same time, you’re also taking Nux vomica 30 ch every time you’ll get relief from those two remedies. Another colic remedy I love to give and I used in my own child because she had some colic, which I expected cause I had really bad colic when I was a child.

When I was an infant. She was very sensitive to sulfur rich foods and I didn’t know that at the time. So I was eating a lot of cabbage and garlic and these kinds of things and I didn’t realize that it was upsetting her until I finally clued in and I stopped the onion and I stopped all these foods and brussel sprouts and all that stuff.

And broccoli.

I couldn’t eat broccoli for three years I loved broccoli. So, but I had to stop all the brassicas. So all the sulfur riched foods I had to stop eating cause it was upsetting her. But until I figured that out, I used homeopathic chamomile, which helps also with teething, but it also helps with the gut.

I used some gentle bits of peppermint. I would make a peppermint and fennel and d seed tea, and I would give her a little bit so that, and then I found the beautiful valerian root. Valerian root is smells like stinky socks.

But I tell you that when I clued into that botanical remedy, it worked so well.

I would just brew it up in not even a really hard brew, just a few minutes, about five minutes sitting in the water, let it cool down a little bit. I’d put it in a syringe and she’d actually suck on the end of the syringe. It was a plastic. And she’d drink it herself. She wanted it so much. And immediately after she would drink it, I could tell she was relaxing and she would either have a bowel movement or the amount of gas that came out of her was incredible.

And she would sleep after that, she’d relax and sleep. So it’s a sleep aid, but what it does is it relaxes the nervous system.

So it allowed the nervous system aspect of the tension in the gut to relax and let everything move out. So I love that remedy. When I have parents come in, they’re stressed about their baby having colic, I usually have them walk out with just a little baggy of some valerian root and I get them to brew it up and give it, and they always are very thankful after that.

So that’s a very easy, simple remedy to have at home. And then someone can take it if they are having problems sleeping because it is a sleep aid teething. Camomile is very, as I said homeopathic remedy used for teething. Very popular for that. That’s more like of a knowledgeable remedy. For this there’s homeopathics also for acne, for headaches, for rashes.

So I won’t go into all of those, but just keep in mind for any ailment, there’s homeopathic. And so I do encourage you to learn a little bit about it get with other parents who are learning about it, you know, to have support.

There’s really great Facebook groups that you can join.

Educate yourselves on on this, I think one’s called Mary’s Homeopathic Group.

I’ll see if I can pull that up quickly for a reference, because it’s a very helpful. Yeah. Mary’s homeopathic, homeopathy study group. Mary’s Homeopathy Study Group on Facebook. I’m in that group and a few other of my friends, and it’s a really great group just to, Hey, you know, I tried this remedy and I got this.

What do I do? Just some quick tips on how to use homeopathics. First of all, what you’re doing with it, your goals are you’re gonna prevent acute things going chronic. So if you treat the whatever you’re seeing with a homeopathic, you’re gonna prevent that getting worse later.

Okay?

Or when you see it come up a second time and you’ve used homeopathic, it’s less, it’s lighter, it’s less intense, or it lasts less of a time.

You will get a increased resolving of the issue so you’ll get a quicker resolve when you use homeopathy. So whatever is going on will just rapidly heal and yeah, lessen, lessening the next time. And your symptoms the symptoms won’t be as severe. You’ll get a larger space between each episode as well.

And all your symptoms just reduce. And that’s when how, you know, you have the right remedy as well, because you’ll start to see that. And really, like I said, homeopathy, it really just makes modern medicine look foolish and eile. When you know it, when you see it. And also I wanna encourage parents to just keep a little file folder of their child’s ailments and what they’ve gone through and what they used holistically to treat them.

Child Health Records, Supplements, and Dental Care

Amandha: Or at the beginning if they didn’t, whatever was used. So just keep a little health journal or health file on your child what you’ve given them and what worked, because it really helps for them when they’re in adulthood to go back and learn about what happened with them and what they, what was used on them and what worked for them.

So just keep in mind to make little notes for that kind of thing. It, before we wrap up, I know we only have about 10 minutes, but I wanted to just talk about some of the vitamins and minerals that I use in my child that I suggest you also have, just based on our day and age and what we’re exposed to and all the toxins that we’re, we have to process on a daily basis.

These are the things I use in my own child, and these are the things that tend to get, we tend to get deficient in often, and not just as children, but also as adults. Things I have on hand are probiotic. I often will give my daughter a probiotic sometimes every day. Probiotics also assist the child if they’re going through anything stressful or have a lot of anxiety.

It tends to reduce anxiety in children. So I’d like, one on my website I have is called seven in one by biomed. I really like this because it’s a well-rounded probiotic and it’s also shelf stable and it’s not too intense, so it won’t cause diarrhea or any kind of gas or bloating. So I find it’s very well tolerated in general as a probiotic.

You can also use fermented foods but it’s better to get a well-rounded spectrum from ferments because sometimes it’s too intense for the child. So that’s why I generally like to go to probiotics for it. And then, you know, introduce different ferments, like, you know, my daughter likes Keifer, for example.

So we use a little bit of Keifer, which is fermented, a fermented milk. We use she doesn’t really like yogurt, so we don’t really use yogurt. She. Doesn’t really like sauerkraut, so that’s another one. So see, it’s, it can be a bit touch and go, especially if you have a food fussy child, which luckily I did have, luckily I’m being sarcastic.

But it was it was difficult because she really didn’t like a lot of foods and now she only, now she’s starting to come around them. So I did have to supplement as well because she wasn’t eating enough of a variety. Vitamin C I tend to have chewable vitamin C around times of natural detox.

So around springtime is a natural detox time for our bodies.

That’s when we see the flu.

It’s not a flu, it’s not a virus. What it is your body naturally going through a detox process and if you wanna help it through that, you first of all could detox ongoing and you won’t get any symptoms. Or you can give zinc and give vitamin C to assist the immune system to process a lot of that material quicker.

So I have that on hand, but. Mainly I’m feeding her a lot of fruit. So she is getting a lot of vitamin C through fruit. I do have a general multi, it’s a gummy multi that she has be careful not to use folic acid. Folic acid is a synthetic vitamin. Anytime we make something synthetic, there is a repercussion.

We have to be careful. We want to use things as close to nature as possible, either right from nature or as closely mimicking nature as possible because that is a way to avoid secondary problems and side effects, and not to suppress things, but to actually allow the body and offer the body the right thing that it can use metabolically.

So to not have something that is synthetic is ideal. Now we know we have a folic acid problem. We’ve been told by, again, the medical establishment that we need folic acid to prevent neural tube defects in the child. And so you have pregnant ladies taking this all over the place, but it can actually cause the MTHFR problem, which is a mutant mutation in dna.

And we’re seeing a lot of that right now. And a lot of these mutations from all kinds of toxins can cause it as well as the synthetic vitamins can cause it. We’re seeing, then they can’t metabolize properly, they can’t detox properly. And then you get a child injected with poison through vaccines and they can’t metabolize the poison.

So then you get autism from that as well. So any child who has MTHFR should be automatically medically exempted from vaccines, period. So if you’re worried about the you know, this agenda that is forcing you to do something against your will, you be smart. Get some MT h FFR testing. Make sure you have something that’s gonna back you up to say no, look, here’s the evidence, here’s the information.

We said No, it’s medically valid. And if you have to fight them in court, you have to, but that’s at least something that can, you can utilize to say we’re logically, this is why we’re logically denying it. And vitamin D and k2, I also give, especially in the winter, we tend to be low in vitamin D, especially here in Canada.

K2 we tend to be deficient in vitamin K too because we’re eating a high grain diet that’s high in phytic acid, which is an anti nutrient that depletes our K. And that leads to brittle bones and to, to dental cavities that we are, you know, also seeing in children, which if I get us. Second, I might just touch on quickly.

I do have zinc lo lozenges, especially for sore throats. And then I use DHA which is basically vitamin C for the brain. It’s omega-3 fatty acid that is needed for a growing brain, a growing nerve nervous system. So she gets DHA every day no matter what.

And then I have a digestive enzyme on hand.

If she’s eaten something she maybe shouldn’t have. She’s been to the grandparents too long and God knows what she had. Then digestive enzymes are there for her if she has an upset tummy. And I usually will do that in some apple cider vinegar before I go to homeopathics for gut. Quickly for cavities, if there is one forming you see one forming, don’t go drill in.

Fill method. You can actually remineralize and stop a cavity and heal a cavity. A lot of people don’t know that. You can use remineralizing toothpaste. I make one. It’s called dub tooth soap. It has old minerals. In it. So it offers the gums, the minerals to absorb and use. Locally. I use DMSO immediately in a 50% solution with colloidal silver on the tooth itself, on the area of the cavity to stop the spread of any type of bacteria because anytime you have damaged tissue, you get bacteria.

That’s what happens in nature. Bacteria comes into damaged anything to break it down. Fungus does it too. So you’re only going to get infections where you have damaged tissue. It has to be compromised first.

So I apply the DMSO with colloidal silver to the area.

Often I will also use a 3% hydrogen peroxide solution, and a couple of activated drops of MMS is also a great remedy to apply to a tooth to stop it from continuing to necros or turn black and to prevent the secondary tooth from having an infection and to prevent abscesses and I’ve had very, my daughter has one cavity and I had, funny enough, I had a cavity at the same time, so maybe we were eating too much grain or whatever was happening at that time.

And that’s when though I was stimulated to develop this tooth soap. So that’s what happened at that point. And it’s one of my pop more popular products. I also make a natural diaper cream that’s really well loved. I encourage cloth diapering and natural child rearing using cloth. And often, very rarely with cloth can get a rash, but if you do, at least you’re not adding more toxins onto their skin.

So I have that available as well.

So that’s I know I could go on for more hours, but I know it’s getting close to time, so I don’t know if you have any last questions.

Final Q&A: Lyme Disease, Pets, and Closing Remarks

Amandha: Yeah, Sandy, is there anyone there with any questions?

Host: I don’t know if any, is anyone on with questions?

Host: I had a question myself about Lyme disease. If there’s anything out there for that my cousin has it and my dog got it yesterday embedded in her skin. She’s only five pounds, so,

Amandha: one of the excellent remedies for that is the one I’ve mentioned a few times, which is chlorine dioxide solution or mms.

Amandha: I pretty much will take care of it, whether it’s chronic or acute. There’s different protocols for it that you can look up and utilize. You generally it’s starting with one activated drop in water and slowly increasing that as well. Colloidal silver would be a good idea to use in general for that.

Making sure the nutrition is optimal, that there’s enough proper water. So all your basic tenets of health, right? Making sure there’s enough sleep and stress is managed, these kinds of things. I also have what’s called a life machine, the dog. So wanna rev it up? What’s that? Right now? I was just gonna say we use John Ellis water for the dog, even along with ourselves.

Host: that’s a very good water. Okay, Bob? Yep. We’re, we have about a half minute left here, so I was just trying 10 seconds. Okay. Well, miss Amandha, thank you so much for coming on. We’ll share this around to everyone. So we’re the wonderful worldwide educators and we share what makes sense.

Real food, real water real air, you know, the all natural environment that supports all of us and just making better decisions.

We also share the new song with everyone, which is new you you can sing that anytime of the day. It brings in a lot of real light. It helps to open up your dream visions. Awareness is everything. Just keep that in mind. The only reality that will allow people to survive is discovering their real awareness and expanding their, being beyond the fabricated illusions.

There’s lots of illusions here, especially in the earth world when it comes to, you know, health and everything else here.

Everybody has the ability to see more now and move beyond the worlds of creation and also makes sense while we’re here, which is, you know, why Miss Amandha was here giving you real health benefits and you can reach out to her anytime.

Host: So thank you everyone for showing up and thanks for coming to our new homeschool. Miss Amandha, we appreciate you.

Amandha: Thank you. Thank you so much for having me. I enjoyed it very much. Appreciate it.

Host: Well, that’s it for now. We’ll be in touch. Okay, great. Thanks so much. Thank you. Okay. Bye for now. Bye.
