From Symptoms of Rheumatoid Arthritis to Signs of Overall Wellness
My journey with homeopathy began first with my daughter who had vision issues that we treated with vision therapy. We were introduced to a vision therapist in San Antonio through a dear friend by divine appointment. Her vision so improved by the light therapy, but our therapist left her practice. Several years later we found Dr. Charlene Werner who helped us once again with vision therapy for three of my children and myself. Charlene checked my oldest and found her to be @100% with excellent peripheral. Yeah! I was a bit concerned as we had not had a chance to keep track for a few years.
With my other two children we had some vision issues as well. My son had strabismus and was declining in his schoolwork as he could not stay focused (prescription on glasses changed and it was the wrong script) So I took him to Charlene and we did vision therapy for about 6 weeks. He improved from a 400 to a 125 (over the counter readers)! Many times he doesn't even need the glasses.

My third daughter greatly improved her peripheral vision with prism glasses and other exercises. We discovered her vision difficulties when she began driving and developed severe headaches. The prism and light therapies helped tremendously and we even began developing exercises with her for photographic memory skills.
I personally began a search for a better way to deal with my medical issues when I spent a solid 8 years visiting my allopathic physicians who told me, 'you're just getting older.' I believed this for a few years until my health and energy so declined that I thought I might die from lack of energy alone. I began to develop several minor symptoms that I just brushed aside thinking. I'm just getting older. Aches and pains, skin issues, hair loss (extreme), skin discolorations, loss of hearing. These were but a few of my symptoms. As I began to see more and more things appearing my husband and I began to tease back and forth 'It's your thyroid.' I began to believe it but was afraid of messing with hormones. |
After an extreme year of various stresses in my life that could not be prevented, I developed symptoms of Rheumatoid Arthritis. I had all over aches and pains and cold shivers that could not be abated. I tried the glucosamine, etc. Nothing worked.
A friend introduced me to diet changes to help with pain which benefited me greatly with the pain yet I still had many other symptoms. This is when I began to actively pursue my own health and well being. I researched and went, for two solid years, to as many doctors as possible all who told me I was normal, when I finally went to an endocrinologist who tested my hormones and said they were all functioning yet she believed I was truly having symptoms and referred me to another integrated med doctor who she thought could help. Interesting, eh?
At this time I also began to develop a vision issue and remembered Dr. Werner. My eyes could not team together like they used to and I could not sit to read for more that a couple of minutes at a time. She helped me with light therapy (at the same time my children were using the light therapy). She tested my vision chart and asked me if I had thyroid issues! WOW! I laughed and told her how my hubby and I teased about it and questioned it but my thyroid was making the hormones. She wanted to do homeopathy. So we began.
I was still getting supplements from the integrative med. Dr. who also did homeopathy, but we decided to include Charlene in on my medical care on homeopathy side. During this time period I had a few chronic issues that Charlene helped me overcome. I had a root canal issue from about 8 years prior (significant, eh). It remained dormant until my life became filled with stresses and resurfaced. Charlene and I decided not to use the antibiotics. Only homeopathy. I called Charlene daily as I was afraid of the infection. But it went away. My dentist never knew I wasn't taking them (two varieties as it was severe). Six weeks after the root canal appointments my dental checkup showed perfectly clean, no infection. With this healing came back much of my energy (I was back to almost 100%!), mental clarity, and light therapy helped my focus so I was reading again. I greatly missed that.
Now Dr. Werner and I are working on some of my energy issues for maintenance. I started out at about 35-40% energy. I feel I'm at about 85-90% now. Most of my minor issues have gone (no more hair loss and dry skin and rash gone, allergies better) and we are just tweaking the constitutional remedy. When I am consistent with my light therapy my energy and focus is much greater. I will continue homeopathy for a long time. It has been an amazing learning process and has helped me tremendously.
I look forward to the next steps in my all over wellness!
Bless you Charlene! Thanks for your dedication to a healing way!
