question about Aurum Metallicum
A constitutional homeopath, MD gave me Aurum Metallicum 1m. She gave me two more doses to take home to take the two following days. She also told me to take reinforcement 30c each day. I am taking other medications, thus the reinforcement.4 weeks later she gave me three more doses of Aurum Metallicum 1m. and told me to use the 30c backup.
A naturopath told me that I am having proving symptoms. Do you think this is possible with 6 doese of 1m and 30c reinforcement every day for 5 weeks? thank you, lili

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
This is not the way homeopathic remedies are prescribed. Repeating same dosage is not recommended. On top of that you got very high dose 1m to begin with. I think your naturopath is right, you might have remedy proving symptoms.

Thank you for your response and opinion. I do believe you, and the naturopath, are correct. I figure this will work itself out of my system in time. I am just grateful that it was discovered within one week of when the the proving symptoms took effect.

If it doesn't improve, you can try a single dose of Nux Vomica 6c.

Antidotes of Aurum are
Bell
Chin
Cocc
Coff
Cupr
Merc.
Puls.
Spig.
It is best to anti-dote after considering totality of symptoms. Otherwise aurum may be antidoted by having a cup of strong coffee.

Thank you both for your replys. I really appreciate it. I did drink coffee yesterday to try to antidote. I didnt know it had to be 'strong' though. so that didnt work.
I just called my naturopath and she did tell me to go ahead and antodote it with the 12c puls that I have at home.
I assume that just one single dose of 12c puls will antidote. is that correct?
Thanks again to both of you !!

You may take three doses of pulsatilla 12c at a gap of 4 hours on a single day. no more doses.
please don't take coffee on the day you take pulsatilla. Coffee antidotes pulsatilla too.

Thanks Kadwa
I did as you suggested. And it worked. The a=Aurum is antidoted.
I had forgotten about the skin itching I had before I started taking the remedy. Any suggestions for skin itching, no rash no visable reason for it.
The naturopath, who muscle tests with about 80% accuracy (and found I had proving symptoms) now has me on 200c Arsenicum. one dose every 5 days. Sounds reasonable.
so if you have a thought on a remedy for skin itching that started up again when I antidoted the aurum, I would be itersted to hear it.
Antidoting was important. I can start Aurum again if needed, at another time. But in a way thats more respectful to homeopathy. Not with the MD homeopath who bombarded me. Thank yuo again

arsenic alb has a profund action on skin. Rather it is one of the deepest acting remedy. In my opinion ars should not be given to anybody only on the basis of mental symptoms. ars should be given only if it is indicated on the basis of totality of symptoms.

Urticaria, with burning and restlessness. Psoriasis. Scirrhus. Icy coldness of body. Epithelioma of the skin. Gangrenous inflammations.
Pulsatilla that you have taken for antidoting aurum also acts on skin. Now if your problem is due to taking pulsatilla, the problem should go away soon.

i don't know about any muscle tests that can tell whether the patient is proving symptoms.
Generally aurum is given for negativity and ars for anxiety. A person who suffers from anxiety or negativity does'nt cut such good joke.
'I did drink coffee yesterday to try to antidote. I didnt know it had to be 'strong' though. so that didnt work.'
Please try to resolve your problems with least medication and also consider the following breathing techniques.

thank you Kadwa and Neil,
the profouse itching did go away within 24 hours. So Kadwa, you are right, it ended up being a non issue.
Sense of humor is not a problem here. I am known for my acute sense of humor. And oh yes, I do have the Boericke materia medica you referred to. Although I bought it 23 years ago.
Thank you for the suggestion to resolve the problem with the least medication. I think you are absolutly correct. I have copied your recommendation for breathing. I currently do what is called 'square breathing' But i will try this.
What I noticed on the page you put the breathing exercize is that one of the persons symptoms is the exact thing I suffer with. Extreme acidity.
It is from stress. Thus the remedies prescribed. If there was anything you know of to possibly stop my body from producing extreme amount of acid I would be grateful. My urine burns. My mouth burns. The bottoms of my feet burn. Bowel movemnts burn. I do not, however urinate frequencly, as the person on the other page reported she did. I am on a very limited diet. no wheat, dairy sugar, raw vegetables and whole grains, to name a few. no foods high in acid. Even lemons, which are ph in the system are not appropriate for me. I have been trying to treat this for a year, with very limited success. Any suggestions Homeopathic or otherwise, would be received with great gratitude. Thank you

Arsenic should help your problem of acidity and burning sensation. May be down the line sulphur may be required. Therefore weekly dose of Ars 200 is problematic. One should review one's symptoms after giving period long enough for the remedy to act. Then on the totality of prevailing symptoms the indicated remedy should be take.
You may also take 30 ml aloe vera juice in the morning on empty stomach and at bed time. This should relieve your abdominal problems and burning sensations.
