The last few weeks at The Aurum Project have been buzzing along with Pod members creating posters and compiling research ready to share with the world.
Did you know that community acquired antibiotic resistant infections are on the rise?
What does this even mean to us? It means our community is becoming immune to a range of antibiotics AND this resistance in people is occurring OUTSIDE the hospital. You may have heard of MRSA (methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus), a hospital acquired antibiotic resistant strain of staphylococcus aureus. It is a pretty serious situation and results in a lot of people dying when they get say an infection because the antibiotics just don’t work for them. On the rise are UTI infections and they are increasingly becoming antibiotic resistant. This is of significant concern, given the common accepted treatment for UTI is antibiotic therapy. The UTI Pod has been exploring this and other factors, and this leads them to want to show how homeopathy could be a suitable treatment for UTI.

The Molluscum Contagiosum (MCV) Pod
This Pod is well progressed with their retrospective review exploring MCV cases in two clinics. Dr Sujata Naik’s clinic in Mumbai, India and Harbord Homeopathy Clinic in Brookvale, NSW Australia are examining their past cases to see how MCV presents for homoeopathy treatment. One interesting observation so far is that in the Mumbai clinic of Dr Sujata’s, MCV is often seen on the face of children, while in the Brookvale clinic of Linlee Jordan’s there are no reported cases of MCV on the face of children. One thing that is being seen in both clinics is quick resolution of the condition with homeopathy treatment, far quicker than the self limiting nature of the disease would indicate. It is exciting to actually see how homeopathy treatment has helped children and their parents with MCV, and even more exciting to be able to share it with everyone.
If you’re interested to find out more, why not consider coming along to an AP Cluster Session. We hold an informal gathering once every 2 months where the Pods give an update and share interesting and notable findings of their research. As many Pods are gearing up for the Australian Homeopathic Medicine Conference in November in Brisbane, there are always interesting findings to hear about. The cluster session goes for an hour and includes an open discussion for all who attend. It is FREE for all AP members to attend, and $10AUD for non members to come along.
Please reach out to me via email if you have any questions.
Cheers, Celeste

5 minutes with Dr Celeste Salter, The Aurum Project Research Co-ordinator
We are delighted to announce that Celeste Salter has recently taken over the role of Research Co-ordinator for the Aurum Project. We sat down with her to find out a little bit more about Celeste and why she decided to accept the role.
Celeste is a practicing Homeopath, living and working in the glorious Blue Mountains, just outside of Sydney. She found out about the opening of the role and it spoke to her so much, she felt wonderfully compelled to apply for it. With her scientific background and her current homeopathic focus, it looked like the perfect opportunity to integrate her extensive experience and knowledge base from past and present roles.
Celeste sees the current position of homeopathy in Australia as an exciting opportunity for homeopathy. She said: “Homeopathy in Australia is in the middle of the ocean at the moment; it can go in many different directions – and in the middle of this is the Aurum Project.”
We will be working with Celeste to develop relationships with organisations within and outside Australia to build the momentum we need to further develop our research program. She is excited to look for strategic connections and collaboration opportunities.
Celeste is incredibly focused on what needs to be done and where best to spend her time. She is a keen communicator and has made a commitment to keep everyone up to date about our research projects and all the stages we will be going through to get results.
Since you’re here…
More people than ever before are reading The Aurum Project blog. There is a surge of interest in natural therapies research. But grants or support from funding bodies is hard to come by. So you can see why we would like to ask for your help. The Aurum Project is an Australian independent research group with charity status. Our research takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep pushing forward. But we love it because we believe our work is important and we’ve been told by parents over and over again that they believe what we do is important too. For a donation of for example, $50 per month you can help support us to produce top quality peer reviewed scientific data for the community.
