Having a driver’s licence is something most of us take for granted but some, who suffer certain health conditions, can see their licence and  independence taken away. This is a case of how homeopathy helped an ageing couple fulfil a life-long dream.

A man nearing 60 came in for an appointment to tell me about his fainting fits. He had begun to suddenly collapse onto the ground, totally  out cold for a few minutes, before coming around again. This was happening a few times each day. As a result of these unusual fainting fits,  he’d had to give up his driver’s licence, leaving him dependent on others and not feeling very happy with life.

His general medical practitioner was puzzled so he was sent for an MRI, which showed that he had ‘multiple small brain tumours’. He was told that nothing could be done for him and an operation would be impossible since there were too many tumours and they were spread  throughout his brain. As there was no conventional medical treatment available, he decided to try natural medicine and booked in to see me. Going through his whole case history, taking into consideration his lifestyle, diet, medication, current symptoms and specific test results, we were able to work out a homœopathic medicine for him that was designed to detoxify his body and reduce the fainting fits.

Within a very short period of time, his falls reduced in frequency, and within six weeks his fainting fits had become non-existent. He was able  to reapply for his driver’s licence within eight months and was able to finish the motorhome he had started building for himself and his wife  as they were planning to travel around Australia. Two years later, I bumped into his grown son, whom I had met during our consultations, in  the supermarket and when I asked how his father was he replied, ‘Yes, they’re both fine, they should be around Darwin by now.’
