Jaqcueline Parsons
Jacky has extensive experience of over thirty years in the health and allied medical fields, originally qualifying in Pharmacy (Soc of Apothecaries of London and updating here qualifications as new ones were introduced, eg BTEC Pharm.Sciences) and then going on to lecture, as well as qualify in the Health Education field (M.I.H.E). Here she was involved in the breast screening campaigns, young people and drug/alcohol education as well as maternity education and cancer education. In addition Jacky is qualified with the Association of British Pharmaceutical Industries (ABPI)
Jack has been a qualified homoeopath for about twelve years completing a 3 year full time course at the 'College of Homoeopathy' in London and obtaining the Licentiate of the College of Homoeopathy (L.C.H.). She has run a general clinic catering for all types of illness from measles to panic disorders for most of that time - as well as being involved in specialist work at other clinics covering a number of conditions including children's asthma, attention deficit and hyperactive disorders, as well as serious immunity issues.
The benefit of having extensive experience in both conventional and homoeopathic treatment means that Jacky is very well equipped and competent to deal with the many issues her patients present her with. Combine this experience with an approachable and comfortable manner, professionalism, and the utmost integrity - that is Jacky
Homœopathy
Homœopathy is an old, established and effective, scientific system of healing. It encourages the natural tendency of the body to heal itself by stimulating from within. It follows therefore, that outer symptoms like a skin complaint may take longer to clear. Be patient, it will be far better to have the cause as well as the symptoms cured, so the relief is not just temporary.
Its founder Samuel Hahnemann discovered that using like to cure like rather than the system of opposites worked more effectively and more gently.
He experimented with smaller and smaller doses and a particular way of diluting and 'succession' that enabled the remedy to be as effective as a larger dose but minimising any side effects.
In past epidemics both in Europe and London survival rates of patients were better with homœopathy than orthodox medicine. (more that 50% fatalities with orthodox medicine, in comparison to 21% with homœopathy during a cholera epidemic)
Perhaps this is in part why Homœopathy is recognised in many countries worldwide as an effective form of treatment, and in some is recognised as a specialist and separate branch of medicine having not only its own practitioners but its own hospitals too.
The Consultation
This will be a full case history of the presenting complaint and a detailed medical history of both the patient and family if available. The individual's characteristics, both physical and emotional finally determine the remedy.
Homœopathy treatment is not addictive and does not cause side effects, also it is not necessary to get worse before you get better as is often thought.
No one is too young or too old to use and benefit from homœopathy.
Even if you feel you are not ill but want to maximise your health, improve your energy, and in the process feel better, then homœopathy is for you.
