Milk Matters - November 2010


Dear Colleague

The new buzz word that's on everyone's lips is Integrated Medicine and the re-naming of the Royal London Homoepathic Hospital to the Royal London Hospital for Integrated Medicine, heralds a new era of pragmatism that, hopefully, will allow space and recognition for all modalities that contribute to promoting health and well-being for all.

Such a move reflects the clinical reality that most of us face, in that patients will avail themselves of whatever is on offer, in order to sort out what it is that ails them.

What I have to share in this edition of the Newsletter reflects that pragmatism; and shows how, despite suppressive treatments, the homoeopathic medicine can work at the deepest level to effect a cure.

This is a complex case of a mother who suffered from gestational diabetes which complicated her lactation by providing a maintaining cause for nipple thrush aggravated by oral thrush in the baby.

I hope that you find what I have to share both interesting and beneficial.

Best wishes
Patricia Hatherly
