aversion to fish

friends,
my four year old son has very strong aversion to fish. he dislikes even the very smell of it. but he likes meat very much. can this condition be treated with the help of homeo medicine?
he is thin, small chested, and active. he has chronic nasal discharge. please don't hesitate to aask me if you require more details. or has this condition to be treated at all?

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Hmm.. this is pointing to a remedy very strongly.

However, I would need much more information to confirm this.

Is he bubbly and excitable ?

Is he prone to fear of dark or fear of being alone ?

Does he like cold drinks or ice creams ?

Does he crave for a lot of affection and consolation when sick ?

Is he very affectionate in general ?

it is a bit difficult to answer your questions, sameer. still i shall try. i cannot say for sure that he is bubbly and excitable. he is active and somewhat energetic. but he is at times shy and timid before guestsand those outside his house. he is generally affectionate but regarding his craving for affection and consolation when sick i am not sure. but he asks his mother not his father to carry him when sick. we do not give him icecream generally but i think he likes it like other children of his age. but he almost always prefers his drinking water to be cold.

It is difficult to say for sure based on the sparse symptoms mentioned here.

Read up Phosphorus, and see if it matches.

If, yes, give him just 3 doses of 6c potency and wait for 3-4 days to see if he gets better.

If you see improvement , you can give him a total of 3 doses of 30c after 1 week from the 6c doses.

i read phosphorus in kent, boericke, allen and farrington. but nowhere did i see this aversion to fish symptom except in kent where it is aversion to salty fish. can i ask you where you found this characteristic under phosphorus? is there any other remedy in homeo under which this symptom comes? under phosphorus is there a clear mention of aversion to fish but not to meat?

Mr Thahir,

We do not precribe remedies for just 'aversion to fish'.

The remedy is for the person and not just for a solitary symptom. I had asked you to read to see if other things match.

Such aversions normally get taken care of under the correct constitutional remedy. But they will never be cured if prescribed on the aversion alone.

I would not even worry about curing this if he didn't have the chronic nasal discharge problem.

dear sameer, i need more advice from you to treat my son. he is having allergic asthma. that is, he catches cold twice a month. this cold will soon settle in the chest and develop in to hard cough and wheezing.to treat this i took him to a homeopath here. till two months back he had been under his treatment. during that period he developed a sort of skin eruptions which was cured after around two months. this homeopath also treated him for adenoid growth, defective hearing and for slightly higher WBC count. i did not see much improvement in his case. so i decided to give him on my own calc phos 0/3 twice daily for ten days two months back. on the 11th day he had a severe ear ache in the middle of the night and then i gave him belladonna 30 one dose and in the morning one more. about three weeks later when he developed a constipation i gave him two doses of kali sulph 30. he favourably responded in both situations. now for the past two months , after Calc Phos he has not developed that allergic asthma. at the time i gave him calc phos he had developed the once treated and gone skin eruptions. now they are almost gone. but a slight nasal catarrh and nasal obstruction and impaired hearing remains.
after calc phos he has lost his liking for milk and he has become weepy also. should i give him any other medicine? what about pulsatilla?

This ---> 'calc phos 0/3 twice daily for ten days' is a dangerous way , especially when self prescribing.

LMs should not be started above 0/1 first of all, and they should ONLY be prescribed (preferably by a competent homeopath) when you are 100% sure of the similimum.


Tell me how selfish or generous is he ? Does he share his favourite things easily ? How sympathetic is he ?

Does he crave attention and affection ?

From the characterstick of the child im in openion of that he should be given Tuberculinum 200c 3 dosages for 3 days and wait upto 15 days.Please report here what you see after expiry of the period.Thanks,malaker

sameer, he is not selfish. he shares his favourite things with others. it seems he is sympathetic. he needs affection of course. i am not certain about his craving for aattention.

dear Dr. malaker, the homeopath i mentioned had already given him tuberculinum 200 four doses [one dose per week]around four months back.
thank you for your response and please respond whenever you feel like doing so.

sameer, when i went in for calc phos i was hundred per cent sure of the remedy and i had consulted my practicing friends also. it was they who suggested to give 0/3 potency as he had the skin eruptions then. might the remedy's action have weakened as i gave him twenty continuous doses without successive dynamising? at that time he had acute symptoms of the allergic asthma also.that is why i thought of giving twenty doses till his symptoms more or less subsided. can sulphur perfect the actionof Calc Phos in my son's case?

'might the remedy's action have weakened as i gave him twenty continuous doses without successive dynamising? '

LMs are NEVER given without sucussions, and this will invariably cause problems in a case. I repeat this is very dangerous.

There are no indications for Sulphur here.

It sounds more like Phosphorus or Silicea to me.

And, in homeopathy we never give one dose every x days, and especially unchanged in potency.
