Sameer Vermani - a case for you Page 2 of 3
This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
So, there was no allergy for day. I actually figured out one sure spot to kick start my allergies. There is some construction going on close to my office and a lot of construction dust whiffing around. The day I wrote the post to you, my sneezing started due to my walking past and sniffing that air. Today, I walked passed again, but did not dare breathe hard.
What do you say I take a whiff tomorrow to test Kali-C ? Or is it too early?
Okay, something really odd - remember I said I put on and lose weight very fast? I have constantly weighed at 204 lbs for *months* but if you look at me, you'd be surprised. I don't look that heavy. Even my doctor is surprised. I don't have heavy bones (because if I did, I'd weigh heavy all my life, which is not the case).
So anyway, for the first time, last night, my weight showed 196 for no apparent reason. Do you think K-C may be at work and this indeed may be constitutional for me? I did not see any keynotes related to digestive or weight related stuff in KC but this was odd enough to report. If it did have an effect, I've love to take some more swigs:-)

It is too soon to take any 'whiffs' :). Give the doses atleast 1 week.
Have you noticed any mental changes.. (not that you had any troublesome mental symptoms) ?
Regarding the weight, I am not sure.

No, no mental changes. Every thing seems to be the same. I wake up in the mornings and I am sniffling my nose (as if my nose is telling me -'hey bud! one mistake and I am going to erupt'). Normal rest of the day.
weight almost back up again ;-) Damn.
Did I tell you I feel exhausted and groggy in my mind very often - i.e. I wane off and find it hard to concentrate often? I am going to observe if that changes, but not yet.

Sameer, if you are upto it, I'd like to continue this thread on both a theoretical (where I'd like to ask questions on your thought process) and practical (where I will plainly follow your prescriptions) and keep them separate.
This part is theoretical:
You said:
[S]
So, we need a remedy which covers psoric and tubercular miasms. I see no element of sycosis or syphilis in your case.
[/S]
On reading more on miasms and their nature, it seems to me that miasmatic prescribing is very similar to constitutional prescribing. I read through Dr. SK Bannerjea's sheet of medicine-miasm mapping. It seems of the 400+ remedies he has listed, only 1 does not cover psoric, around 70 do not cover sycotic, 90+ do not cover syphillic etc.
But the interesting part is when I read about how to classify miasms, it seems they are classified just as one would classify for constitutional remedies.
So, miasmatic prescribing seems to essentially be:
a) Assess constitution of person
b) of the constitution medicines, map it to a miasm and see which medicines also cover the miasm well. If you feel a miasm representation is very high in a person, favor that medicine, if you are prescribing for chronic ailments.
Is this broadly correct?
Now on to the miasms:
I found a huge amount of characteristics in me, that actually match the sycotic miasm
(source http://www.hpathy.com/philosophy/loukas-personality-types1.a....
a) show off
b) keep things to onself
c) trendy professions
d) buying expensive stuff
e) reluctant to convey emotion
f) tendency of control
g) dogmatic
h) tendency to exaggerate (seems related to a)
(KC does cover sycotic too, but there are stronger sycotic medicines - silicia is '+++' while KC is '+')
comments ?

'It seems of the 400+ remedies he has listed, only 1 does not cover psoric, around 70 do not cover sycotic, 90+ do not cover syphillic etc.'
Hmm.. this is interesting but this is not how it works. In order to qualify as an anti-miasmatic, the medicine needs to have the ability to cure many symptoms of the miasm, not just one, or a few, and ofcourse the most importantly it needs to have the mental symptoms of the miasm in it's proving. Kali-C does not cover the mental symptoms of sycosis, nor does it cover certain primary physical attributes of the miasm e.g. Condylomata or warts, and hence it is not an anti-sycotic remedy. Most of these anti-miasmatic lists are absolute crap.
As an example, Nat-m might looks like having syphilitic traits but it is not an anti-syphilitic remedy.
Miasmatic classsification is a very complicated thing, and the symptoms you mention can be there in all miasms (the sub-concious reason behind them being different).
It's the totality which is important; looking at characteristics individually does not give the correct picture.

Regarding your case having symptoms of sycosis, I do not think so.
Just as an example:
Sycotic person shows off but it is because of a feeling of inferiority and an attempt to 'cover up'.
Syphilitic person shows off out of a sub-concious desire to conquer.
Psoric person shows off with an innocent desire to share his excitement, knowledge and happyness.

[s]'Sycotic person shows off but it is because of a feeling of inferiority and an attempt to 'cover up'.[/s]
Hmm. This is frustrating. My references stops at show off. (Both hpathy and another one) It does not say 'show off due to inferiority'. The problem is that different texts seem to say different things.
Practical:
Sameer, 5 days up. I can confirm there has been absolutely no change of physical or mental level. My nose is still very very sensitive - every time there is a blast of cold air to my nose (like from the car AC), or I walk past a dusty place, I sneeze a few times...
Allergy has not hit. But like I said, my allergy is like a wicked panther who is waiting to surprise me.
Some FYI, if you plan to go with sil next:
I have already tried Sil, both 30C and 200C before I started this thread (took 30C, 3 times on day 1 and 200C, 1 time on day 3) - had zero effect, as I had many attacks of allergies after that.
thx

How long did you wait after the Silica doses ?
sameervermani last decade
I took the Silica does around a month ago.
aske123 last decade
Just to be clear
Around a month ago, I took the following dose (I hate it when I write does ;-)
a) Day 1 Sil 30c, 3 times a day, dry dose
b) Day 3 Sil 200C once
Had 2 allergic attacks after that (at least a week after the dose)

Take a 200c dose of Kali Carb this Sunday.
Dissolve 2 pellets in little water, and sip all of it slowly.
Let me know in 5 days.

sameervermani last decade
Sounds good. Just to be clear, you want me to polish off the entire bottle (not just one cap) in one day, right?
aske123 last decade
Ok, I just noticed you said 'little water' not a full bottle. So let me know if little water means, say, a cap full and in that case, if I sip it slowly, I guess I'll finish it off in a few mins at most.

Sameer, today is the 5th day. Report:
1. No discernable change in mentals or physicals (I still feel defocussed at times, feel groggy at times, sharp other times ,etc, etc, - all general and mentals same)
2. I have definitely noticed that my nose has become much more sensitive. I start sneezing for any minor irritation to my nose, sometimes, even when I am sitting in my office room with no apparent dust around. I sneeze a few times, eyes go watery (as before) and then I ride over the situation. My allergy did not strike this week (but like I said, it can come anytime), but on the downside, as I have observed, my nose seems to get irritated much more easily all of this week.
(PS: Thx for the response to my Q on sulphur 30c after 6c in the other thread)

Not really. Infact, it rained here last afternoon, and yesterday (Before as well as after the rain - so no effect on wet/humid) my nose was just a little better than the rest of the days.

So, you said you are dominating.
Are you dominating only at home ? Or even with people outside ?

So here is an extended response,trying to cover multiple angles..
In general, I want peace of mind. It is not that I try and drive my point for everything. I choose my battles. If I think something is really sticky for a person, I back off, if it is not absolutely imperative for me. So from that perspective, I am flexible.
However, for things that I feel very strongly about, I am dominating. I'd say I am equally dominating at home or work by 'intent'. But by 'practice' I show my dominance in a more 'easy going' way at work and am more direct at home. So from that angle, if you were to ask my wife and my co-worker this same question, you'd hear 'Yes, dominating' from the wife and 'He is very clear in his thoughts, but works with others well' from my co-workers...
See, it's hard to reflect true nature over written words..

Hmm.. and have you ever had any warts ?
sameervermani last decade
Okay, then please take 3 doses of Sulphur 30c equally spaced by 2 hours on a single day.
If you have liquid potency , put 2-3 drops in 120 ml and a tablespoon from here is 1 dose.
Report in 48 hours or earlier if you see a reaction.

Ok will take it today or tommorow and report.
On Sulphur, from a 'total picture' perspective,do note that I prefer cleanliness, dress neatly and am not dis-organized at all (complete opposite). Also, I thoroughly enjoy baths.
