The ABC Homeopathy Forum

To Dr. Kadwa

Dr. Sir,

Yesterday, you suggested remedy to my duaughter. I would request you to suggest remedy for my problem also (I would come back for 2 other my family members soon.)

To consolidate I have three problems: Cold allergy, bronchitis and Dandruff.

Cold Allergy:
I had this from the age of 14. Now my age is 40. All of a sudden I get cold and continuous sneezings (very heavily). Initially I could not understand why I am getting like this. I used to take allopathy medicines for cold. After many years, I observed that whenever I get mental tension I am getting sneezings and cold. Whenever I get - mental tension, stress, confusion, at the student age - when I was supposed to complete lot of syllubus but I was running behind, whenever I had to complete more work than I can, in less time, whenever I wanted do things fastly. If I read newspaper fastly, I get this allergy. Anxiety.

Allergy starts with nose block (either nostral), irritation and itching; then running nose, continuous sneezing (for every fast thought vibration one sneezing), eyes become red, watery and itching and irritation; after some time throat becomes red, throat inflamation, it turns to throat infection, swelling of glands. upper portion of the mouth becomes white; if it continues for few days, it turns to fever, cough also.

When I get rid of the activity and relax or sleep or go for a walk for some time it becomes better. It worsens when I continue the activity and do it more fastly (mentally). I do lot of mental activity than physical. My office work also mental activity.

This allergy comes very frequently.

Brochitis: I have bronchitis also.

I approached a homoeopath 6 months ago. He started with Phosphorous 1M - one dose; does not work; then he changed some other medicines (names not known, he is not telling the names also). But not cured. He asked me to take Ars Alb and Phos alternately for every half hour whenever I get this allergy. I am taking like that - but not found that much useful.

Dandruff: Dandruff also started for me almost at the same age (14) like cold allergy. I have severe dandruff. Powder and white flakes comes over the head. Powder becomes like a paste with the some oil like thing comes out of the head. I have lot of hair fall. Middle of my head became bald. When I take head bath, the bathroom water passage get clogged with all hair. When I sleep, I can see lot of hair on the pillow in the morning. I have hair all over the body. Lot of hair fall from other parts of body also.

About 12 yrs ago, I had undergone mental trumoil (for about 1 yr) because I was deceived by close friends. That time the hair fall become severe and middle of the head became bald.

I got mild psoriasis about 6 yrs ago. I still have those spots (black). But no itching. My nails are rough.

Some of my other characteristics:
- Fear of talking in public.
- I had stammering in my childhood. I comes sometimes even now. Correlation between mind and tounge - out of phase. Mind is faster than tounge.
- I want to do thing very fast.
- Confident when I am alone, but not able to deal with public.
- I can not tolorate when I am decieved.
- impatient. When I ask a question I expect the response immediately.

Pl. let me know if you need more details.

Thanks in advance.

Wife – Fine; she is cooperative.
Children – They are very young now; Two girls – 5yrs and 3 yrs. First one is cooperative; second one is very active and gives lot of trouble to my work.

I am afraid if somebody deceives me; or somebody thinks that I am not worth, or I am not capable (at job).

Frequent dream I get – I fly in the air to a very high; over mountains, tress etc and travel long distance by flying. I fly on wish. I see others looking at me as a strange thing.

Another dream – I wanted to do something but I can not do it because of lot of obstacles. For example, I go to exam hall (in dream) I can not see the exam paper, had to struggle a lot to read the paper, time getting over; in the mean while with a heavy wind paper flies in the air. I run behind to catch it. Exam time will be over by that time.

- I have a peculiar problem. When I wake up in the morning, mind becomes blank, for sometime. I forget where I am, what I did yesterday, what I am supposed to today – for about 5 to 10 mins. I have to recollect. Generally, I don’t remember the movies I have seen yesterday; unless it really impressed me.

- Generally I maintain a to-do list. Otherwise, I get confused – when to do what and get lost.

Please take three doses of Lycopodium 200c at a gap of 4 hours for only one day (not daily) and report back after 15 days.

One dose means
If the medicine is in pills form 4 pills. Don't touch pills with hand. Use cap of bottle to take pills.
If the medicine is in liquid dilution form, 3-4 drops in some 20 ml water. Sip up slowly.

Please follow homeo restrictions like no coffee, no raw onion/garlic, no strong perfumes, don't eat or drink anything within 30 minutes before or after taking medicine.
 
kadwa last decade
Thanks Dr. Kadwa. I read that Nux-V can be used for cold due to stress. I have taken 3 doses yesterday 30c potency. Can I take Lycopodium 200c today? Pl. suggest.
 
Libra1010 last decade
You may take Lyco after 2-3 days of taking Nux.
 
kadwa last decade
Dear Dr. Kadwa,

I have taken Lyco 200c on 11th March. Its about 8 days now. In the last 8 days I got cold (due to stress) for 3 times. You asked me to report after 15 days. I will come back again after a week.

I have an interview this weekend. I have fear of presenting myself to others. Hurriness, no patience, everything I wanted should be done immediately. I live in my own mental world. Beacuse of this nature, I could not grow in my job. Where as my juniors are in good positions today. To give any presentation, I get sweating, mind becomes blank, could not talk, fear etc. I don't mingle with anybody. I prefer to be alone. I do my job better when I am alone.

I read a book on the 12 salts, yesterday. I read about Kali Phos. Can I use this salt - to improve on - fear, nervousness, anxiety? If I can use, what is the dosage? Can I use it on regular basis? Can you suggest me any other salts which I can use parallel to homeopathic medicines for better results.

I read about Lyco, it seems it matches with my qualities.

Any suggestions to get through the interview this weekend and also in the day to day job...Please...

Best Regards.

Continuation to above...

I mentioned in my earlier posts...My local homeopath suggested me totake Ars. Alb and Phos Or Merc. Sol. in 200c potency whenever I get cold allergy (due to stress) for every half hour alternately. In the last 6 months, for about 4 months, I consumed many drams of these remedies. May be around 10 drams each. Does this cause any problem? When I used them, sometimes it was benificial and sometimes not.

I have one more problem - the skin on the penis (front end portion, on the left side only) is becoming dry and peeling off (sclaing like dandruff). It becomes red (a patch) after intercourse. I used allopathic medicines. I am applying Surfaz (allopathic ointment). It becomes normal after applying ointment for 2 or 3 days. It again becomes red (patch) after intercourse and starts dying and peeling off. Me and my wife went to allopathic doctor recently. He said it is fungal infection and prescribed some medicines for both of us. Even after using them, not found useful.

Today, I used the online tool to find out the remedy for this. I found the repertory - genitals; male; out-breaks on skin; scrotum; psoriasis (red patches with silvery scales); and remedy suggested is - Nitric Acid. When I read about Nitric Acid it is mentioned that - Syphilis, after abuse of Mercury. Does this mean that I got this problem because I used lot of Merc. Sol. earlier? Pl. clarify. Pl. suggest, if I can take this as I have taken Lyco about 10 days ago.

Just want to mention that - recently I got interest in Homeo and started reading the books; but I don't use without expert suggestion like yours.
 
Libra1010 last decade
You may be proving Mercurius Sol. You may take a single dose of Nitric Acid 200c for only one day and see how that affects. It is good for the symptoms and it also antidotes Merc.
About your anticipatory anxiety you may consider Gels and arg nit. It is better to use Bach Flower Remedies Mimulus and Larch. Flower remedies won't interfere with Lyco. Kali Phos 6x is also another option.
 
kadwa last decade
Thanks Kadwa for your patience to read the post and reply to that.

I will take one dose of Nitric acid 200c today.

Which one is better - Gels/arg nit Or Bach Flowers Or Kali Phos? - for faster recovery?

(Can I use Kali sulp. too? - for skin disease and stress?)

What should be dosage? How long should I take?

Pl. suggest. I know you are struggling with half knowledge people like me.
 
Libra1010 last decade
Cont. to above...

Dr. Kadwa, I am looking for faster and permanent recovery. Pl. suggest accordinlgy...

(Can I use Kali sulp. too? - for skin disease and stress?)
**No. There are many things happening. Please don't use it for the time being.

Which one is better - Gels/arg nit Or Bach Flowers Or Kali Phos? - for faster recovery?
**This should give symptomatic relief. Bach Flowers and Kali Phos are better. Gels/Arg Nit are not your indicated remedies.
 
kadwa last decade
Thanks. In what dosage should I use Batch Flowers - Mimulus and Larch? In what dosage I should use Kali phos? How long?
 
Libra1010 last decade
Cont. to above..

Will there be any side affects using Batch flowers?
 
Libra1010 last decade
what dosage should I use Batch Flowers - Mimulus and Larch
**2 drops of each in some 30 ml water.

Thrice a day at a gap of 4 hours.

4 pellets of kali phos 6x thrice a day at a gap of 4 hours.

Please take either flower remedy or Kali Phos 6x on a day.

Please use it on and off. Please don't use regularly.

No side effects.
 
kadwa last decade
Dear Dr. Kadwa,

I could not get bach flowers in the local homeo store. I may have to try elsewhere. I started using Kali Phos 6x from yesterday. After started using this, I am going toilet frequently (bowel movement). Does this get set right automatically? Or what should I do?

Thanks and Regards.
 
Libra1010 last decade
Tissue salts are harmless. If you think that these are causing diarrohea, please stop taking them. If your diarrhoea is not controlled after stopping kali phos 6x, you may try Argentum Nitricum 200c three doses for only one day at a gap of 4 hours. It seems that your diarrhoea is triggered by anticipatory anxiety as you have told earlier that you are having some important meeting at the week end.
 
kadwa last decade
Dear Dr. Kadwa,

Its 15 days after I have taken Lyco 200; 3 doses.

I did not find any major changes. I got cold for 4 times.

I am also taking Kali Phos 6x. I did not take Nitric Acid yet.

Dear Kadwa, As I told you earlier, I am reading Homoeopthic books. I read a book about Sulphur. It looks like most of my symptoms matches with Sulpur rather than Lyco.

I read that people who does more mental work than physical work for many years fall under - Sulph, Lyco, Thuja, Graphites, Calc. Corb. From my child hood I only sit and study the books, do reaserch work, I am a software engineer by profession. So, I am definitely one of these.

I feel, I am more matching with Sulpher. Lyco is used when symptoms assicated with digestive disorders and urinal problems, which I don’t have.

My major symptoms matching with Sulpur from my study of the book:

1. Chronic Dandruff, psoriasis.
2. Lack of confidence.
3. Suspicious about everything and everybody.
4. Lack of memory - forgetfulness. Don't remember the names of people.
5. Confused thoughts. Mental distraction ; cannot think, or fix his mind on any subject.
6. Not able to bear when hungry - feel very week when hunger, should eat something immediately.
7. Lazyness. Aversion to cleanliness.
8. Now and then I get small boils on the upper lip.
9. Great anxiety and apprehension in the evening.
10. Great tendency to religious and philosophical speculations.
11. Pimples on the sclap.
12. Dark points and spots floating before the eyes.
13. Violent fluent coryza, with frequent sneezing.
14. Itching and burning in the nostrils, as if sore.
15. Dryness of the lips. Lips peel off frequently.
16. Frequent ineffectual urging to stool.
17. Voice rough and hoarse, especially mornings ; aphonia.
18. Skin becomes red in the hot sun and also when with light preasure on the body.
19. Does not care for neatness. Lazy.
20. Getting into unnecessary arguments.
21. Selfish.
22. Don’t wake up early in the morning.
23. Standing on one leg.
24. Feel confused after waking up from sleep. Don’t know where I am. What happened yesterday? What should I do today? Its like a new life for me again.
25. Sparks and black spots traveling infront of the eyes.
26. Feeling insecurity of job.

What do you suggest? Shall I take Sulphur? In what potency? What are the distinguishing characteristics to keep me under Lyco?
 
Libra1010 last decade
Calc Carb - Lyc - Sulph - Calc -

is called as Hahnemannian Trio. You are already into it.

Please take three doses of Sulphur 30c at a gap of 4 hours for only one day and see how that affects you in the next 15 days.

One should never break the sequence of this trio which is given above. So lyc after Sulph is not allowed and Sulph after Calc is not allowed. Please keep that in mind.

But if you get benefit from any remedy you should remain with that remedy and derive as much benefit as possible, so it is not necessary to keep cycling for each dose.

Patel (Gujarati: પટેલ, paṭel, pronounced [pəʈel]) is a surname of Indian origin, originally meaning 'village chief.'. The name Patel derives from 'Patlikh', the record keeper named by princely rulers in Gujarat to keep track of the crops, 'pat' being a parcel of land. It is found primarily in the Indian states of Gujarat,

Thanks Dr. Kadwa sir. I will take Sulpur 30c tomorrow and post you after 15 days.

Dr. Sir, shall I take Kali sulp. 6x also (for skin diseases, bronchitis and stress) along with Kali phos 6x. If yes, what is the dosage?
 
Libra1010 last decade
2 pellets each of kali phos 6x and kali sulph 6x thrice a day at a gap of 4 hours.
 
kadwa last decade
Dr. Sir, When you say 4 hrs gap; it should be exactly 4hrs gap? or minimum 4 hrs gap?
 
Libra1010 last decade
minimum 4 hrs gap.

Dear Dr. Kadwa,

1. I have taken Sulphur 30c 3 doses yesterday. I felt some irriation in the head and chest, leg pains for few hours after taking each dose. Today it is fine. Is that Sulphur effect?

2. I told you in the above posts that there is a red patch on my penis. I have not taken Nitric acid yet. It became more redish today. Is it sulphur effect? do you want to me take Nitric acid also?

3. I am taking kali phos and kali sulph. If the symptoms are cured, how do we know because of which medicine it is cured - homoeopathic medicine or tissue salts?

do you want to me take Nitric acid also?
**Not now. Please wait for 15 days.

3. I am taking kali phos and kali sulph. If the symptoms are cured, how do we know because of which medicine it is cured - homoeopathic medicine or tissue salts?
**You may not take the tissue salts for the time being. There is no problem if you decide to continue them. Tissue salts don't act at dynamic plane. They may be useful in dealing with the possible aggravation. So the substantial credit should always go to the homeo remedy.
