It helps to do a bit of research, like finding some books about sexual technique and reading them for ideas. It is then helpful to read some of it with your partner and talk about the sorts of things you might both like to try. Simple things like having sex in different places in the house or at different times of the day can be enough to break some old habits. A change of scenery, like a weekend away together can give you the time and the relaxation you might be missing at home.

Some people find that erotic or instructional videos give them a few ideas too. These are now widely available at local video stores. If you are going to check some of them out it helps to have an open mind and a sense of humor, because a poor quality video can be as erotic and tasteful as a pile of last night’s dirty dishes.

Technique can’t substitute for real passion and sexual chemistry. Sex can become boring because you no longer find your partner sexually attractive. This is a difficult one to fix. The reality is that passion and chemistry are not always forever, but if the sexual feelings have just gone into hibernation because there are resentments and dissatisfaction with the rest of the relationship, then counselling is worth a try.

For some people the non-sexual aspects of their relationship are enough to outweigh the sexual, so sexuality is not such a high priority.

Chemical medicines are most harmful. Granted, it may seem convenient just to dissolve a few tablets in a glass of water, drink the solution, and see the fever obediently oblige and subside. The illness seems to fade away so harmlessly without ever reaching its climax. However, it is usually disregarded that the toxins will not have been eliminated from the body and are therefore still able to wreak damage somewhere, for example by provoking carditis, rheumatic fever, etc.

without doing anything about it,’ an overzealous nurse may object. Of course not. There is, however, a great difference between suppressing a fever and doing everything possible to encourage this internal fire. Let us always support the ‘fire’ and see to it that all the ‘flues’ are open so that it does not merely smoulder in the stove, the body, but that it really burns at full blast. All burnable wastes will then be eliminated faster, and the system will be cleansed and soon return to normal. Feverish children respond very well to the simple remedy Ferrum phosphoricum 12x; the tried and proven Aconitwn 4x also helps to eliminate the toxins through the skin. If you do not yet know what course an infectious disease will take, try alternating Aconitwn 4x and Belladonna 4x.

There’s an old saying that you have to work at marriage. Now while that’s definitely true, it helps if you start off with the right raw materials: some interests in common, compatible goals in life, an ability to compromise and adapt, an ability to listen, compatible beliefs about childraising and financial management, mutual respect, and that indeterminate ‘chemistry’. While you don’t have to have a full house, it helps if you have a few of the cards in your hand.

The more you see of relationships the clearer it becomes that chance plays a major role in their success. When you consider the changes we go through as we get older, it’s a wonder that any two people who had compatible goals and needs in their twenties are still on the same wavelength at sixty or seventy. People would need to change in the same direction as they get older to continue to fulfil each other’s needs.

Add to this the well established fact that respective sexual peaks of men and women happen in totally separate decades of life, then you start to suspect there really might be something to this theory about the Creator with a wry sense of humor. But let’s take a look at this ‘well established fact’.

Children’s dermatitis or infantile eczema is a distressing condition, since it is not only a strain on the child, but also on the parents, due to the constant extra care and attention the child has to receive.

In 1964, at the Convention of the German Society for Child Therapy held in Munich, Dr Holt, an American paediatrician at New York University, presented the viewpoint that the ‘tar therapy’ was still the best method for the treatment of infantile eczema and that using tar extract of 5 per cent was also more economical than treating with steroid ointments. Also of considerable interest was Dr Holt’s concession that infantile eczema is much easier to suppress than it is to cure.

With the help of the ‘tar therapy’ it is relatively easy to reduce the severity of the condition from degree IV to degree I, but Dr Holt admitted that this therapy is not enough to effect a complete cure. What was not mentioned was the fact that once the tar therapy is discontinued the little patient will quickly experience a worsening of the condition. Neither was there any mention that tar, with its eleven hydrocarbons, including napthalene, has been recognised as a carcinogenic – cancer-producing – substance.

The issue of longterm relationships is a highly complex one, and deserves the volumes written about it in its own right. But without a doubt, making the decision to enter into a longterm relationship makes you confront your attitudes to sexuality and partnerships not only in terms of passion, but also in terms of practicality.

Contrary to popular folklore, it is virtually impossible to tell how long it is going to last in the early stages of any relationship. It would help to have a crystal ball because some relationships that seem ‘made to measure’ fall apart at the seams, while others that seem doomed can blossom into the ‘love of a lifetime’. Obviously factors outside the relationship have an impact on how long it lasts too, like financial pressure, work commitments, family expectations, and cultural and religious differences.

Some people in a longterm relationship didn’t make the decision at all. It just happened. There you are one day, thinking how well you get along with your partner, and you realize you have been getting along well and happily making compromises for some time. Nevertheless, at some stage you will face a turning pont in the relationship that will make you confront your feelings about sexuality. That might be at a time when you make the decision to give up other partners, to stop using condoms, to live together, to marry or to have children — decisions that will shape the rest of your life.

For normal development and effective resistance to disease in the years to come, the foundation laid by breast-feeding is of the greatest importance to the baby. Experience and medical statistics prove that breast-fed babies recover from children’s diseases much more easily and with fewer complications than bottle-fed children of a similar constitution.

Young mothers are sometimes unhappy and nervous when the flow of milk does not appear on the very first day. But it should be remembered that this would be quite unnatural as the baby should not receive any food during the first twenty-four hours of life. At the beginning, the breasts produce only the highly nutritious colostrum; the actual milk does not appear before the third, and sometimes on the fourth to the sixth, day. So, young mothers, do not despair when things do not immediately turn out in the way you may have expected. Later, if your milk supply is not enough to satisfy the baby, a few drops of Urtica every day, or a few tablets of calcium complex with Urtica (Urticalcin) will help the flow.

Breast milk, especially the very first secretion called colostrum, contains enzyme-like substances, nutritive salts and vitamins, some of which are known to us but others unknown; these cannot be found in any other food in the same quality and proportions. Moreover, breast milk is the source of immunising agents and alexins that protect the baby from diseases. Herein lies one of the greatest secrets of why very young breast-fed babies are immune to certain infections.

The argument that suckling a baby damages a mother’s health and beauty can be refuted as unfounded because there is sufficient evidence to the contrary. A mother who is reasonably healthy actually benefits from breast-feeding, since during the time of nursing, under normal circumstances, the glands with internal and external secretions will function more efficiently and abundantly. The absorption of food and its vitamins is at its best at this time. The womb returns to normal much more easily in nursing mothers than in those who renounce their natural privilege and bottle-feed their offspring. Also, there is no doubt that a lasting psychological rapport and harmony are established between the mother and her breast-fed baby. In this way both mother and child profit by this natural relationship, as is always evident when we refrain from interfering with the Creator’s natural laws.

Fennel (or anise if no fennel is available) belongs to the most common group of household remedies. Fennel, anise, caraway and dill are the so-called ‘warming teas’. Whenever there is anything wrong with your baby’s digestion, a weak fennel infusion will be of great benefit and will help the mother to remedy a temporary indisposition.

Yarrow, given as a very weak infusion, is good for diarrhoea and loss of appetite. If this fails to stop the discharge, add a small pinch of tormentil and give teaspoonfuls of this weak infusion throughout the day.

Goldenrod is a reliable remedy when the kidneys are out of order. The fresh plant extract from this herb, either as Solidago or as an ingredient in Nephrosolid, is one of the best and most effective medicines for the kidneys and the bladder. If you cannot obtain any goldenrod, a weak rose hip or horsetail infusion can be used instead.

Whey concentrate {Molkosan) is a good antiseptic for minor injuries. This is a natural lactic acid product which can be used in the same way as iodine, although it is certainly less harmful than iodine.

Hypericum can also be used as an antiseptic, and dabbed on externally. Dr Joseph Schier and other well-known paediatricians have recommended this simple remedy made from St John’s wort even for the prevention of tetanus.

If you’re lucky you will get symptoms like an unusual discharge from the vagina or penis; painful intercourse; sores, lumps, blisters or rashes on the genitals; burning or stinging when you pass urine and so on.

If you’re a little less lucky you won’t have symptoms but your partner will and they will tell you about it so that you can both be checked out and treated. One of the ways we can minimize the damage and prevent an STD spreading is a procedure known as ‘contact tracing’. This is where a person who finds out they have a sexually transmissible disease makes sure that any possible recent sexual contacts are notified that they are at risk and should be checked out or treated. ‘He was six foot two, blond and had a great smile’ is going to make it hard to identify a casual encounter, but you get the point.

Those who are even less lucky will not have a clue until it’s too late. Unfortunately with some infections, like chlamydia, a lot of people will fall into this last category. You can look and feel completely healthy and still have an STD. Because of this, it pays to have what we in the business call ‘a high index of suspicion’. If you think there is a possibility that you have been in contact with an infected person, or you have had unprotected intercourse with a new partner, it’s worth getting a checkup just to be sure.

Household remedies and other medicines should be chosen with the greatest care. Babies react quickly to even the smallest dose and can tolerate only very light stimulants without suffering ill effects. This is especially true of teas (herbal infusions) and great care must be taken because an apparently harmless herbal tea can trigger serious upsets.

Homoeopathic remedies are ideal for the treatment of children. In fact, babies should only be given such remedies and it is lamentable that paediatricians do not prescribe them more frequently. Many allopathic drugs do more harm than good even for adults, so how much less would a young child be able to cope with their adverse effects? The amazing results achieved by homoeopathy should convince many doubters; they cannot be explained away as being ‘imaginary’ or ‘psychological’ effects, as some opponents try to do, for it can hardly be expected that babies and young

children imagine these things.    

It should be stressed again that infusions of herbs (teas) for small children should be very weak indeed, barely coloured. The herbs listed below have been found to be effective.
