The ABC Homeopathy Forum
Me and my 2 children
Hi everyone,I'm new to this forum but very interested. I live in hong kong ( where the air is not brilliantly clean) and i have 2 kids.
My son is 2 years old and until recently he was always sick with a flu/ cough/ fever/ run down. he was on antibiotics in Nov , dec 2004, jan and feb 2005 until i finally had enough and took him to a naturopath.
It cost a hand and a foot but we bit the bullet and saw the naturopath. He said my son's liver was overstressed and prescribed
a) Cod liver oil
b) herbal iron supplement
c) probiotics because of long term antibiotics use
d) zinc
e) and 1000mg of Vit c daily
and homeopathic remedy for dust allergy (once a week)
he has imroved a lot and has not had antibiotics since then. However, he still gets a runny nose - clear (occasionally yellow) and an early morning cough. This cough is moist, non productive and only in the morning. we cannot get rid of it for weeks. If we do after using allopathic meds ( antihistamnes) then a few weeks later it all starts again. He is also on puffers morning and evening before bed, flexotide ( a steroidal puffer) and ventolin a bronchodilator). We stop these as soon as the cough goes but have to start it as soon as the cough comes otherwise he coughs through the whole night.
Nature wise he is a good boy, a little irritabel , plays well, speaks well and has developed noramlly.
I have tried 30x aconite but it does not really work and i don't know what else to try or do. i just want a simple remedy that can work everytime and get rid of it straight away. Can anyone help with this. The naturopath is too expensive for me to see again.
secondly... my 4 year old daughter also saw the naturopath who also put her on the same stuff as above ( no antibiotics / probiotics) and also said that she had a lack of stomach acid , especially in the morning. He gave a natural " clown mustard seed" called iberogast which has worked miracles for her . She now eats in the morning without vomitting whereas she used to almost every morning before this remedy was give.
He also gave her some sulphur 1M 2 pills once a month for her night terrors. They are BAD night terros. she yells, screams and kicks in her sleep and even if we try to wake her up often she doesn't. She does not come to my bed or sleepwalk but she also talks sometimes and sits up in bed. The sulphur perhaps works we do not know.
Somedays we think yes but mostly we think no. It is really troubling us since we cannot sleep in the same room or even visit anyone and share a room because other that her we are all tired the next day.
She is a confidant child who speaks well and is intelligent. She snores when she sleeps and is a bit whiny, often crying at silly things and sometimes not? we need help about the shrieks please.
she has tried phosphorous but it has not helped either.
I know that this is a long post but i thought i should give as much information as possible.
Thanks you for all your advice in advance.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
most of what you say seems to point to Nat mur - which is also a good remedy for bringing a case back into order.
Does he get dry lips and is the cough provoked by a tickle in
the throat. Does he like or hate salt . When he is inland away from the sea is he worse.
Suggest you get Natrum muriaticum 10m and give him one single tablet before bed and 15 min after cleaning teeth with non medicated tooth paste or salt .
Need more info to deal with the dream situation - are they repetative?.
What have the past 4/5 generations died of , in your family.
Does she have any moles , tan easily - olive or fair skin can she wear wollen garments .
Afraid I'm off for a few days at the week end but will reply when I return.

DO NOT give anyone allopathic iron. Zink and Vit C will do more than anything.
The regular meds, allopathic iron, is very harmful to the human form, especially little children. If there is a problem with anaemia, there are iron supplements in a health store made only with vegies.
Read the postings on vaccines and mercury.
Listen to passkey, he knows. I will watch and add if something comes up in the study.

The night child that screams needs one dose of STRAMONIUM 1M. only one dose. Get the smallest bottle available.
ABC probably has this. It is a very good remedy for children.
Let us know how you go.

hi passkey,
Thanks for the reply. We live by the sea and it is very humid most of the time. When we go away it is mostly for 2 weeks or so and my son is better then. However, i think our stay is too short to judge if the change does him any good or not. He does not have dry lip, loves cheese . His cough is not provoked by aa tickle but it is mostly early morning and sounds moist but non productive. He coughs as if clearing the air passages and not for long. As of today his runny nose has become yellow and watery discharge.
For my screaming daighter... she has olive skin, sweats a lot while she sleeps ( mainly around the hair/ head). She does not have any moles but she does tan easily.
All grandparents are alive. Great grandparents it think died of natural causes ( intestinal disease and old age). Greatgrandpa was killed in a railway accident and Greatgrandfather was killed due to alcoholism.
I hope this helps.
Do you thiink the sulphur is helping her?
thanks for the help. I will try nat mur for him.

Dear sabra,
Thanks for your reply,
I will try the stramonium and let you know.
The iron is a herbal remedy made of vegetable and has not allopathic origins at all.
I'll keep you posted.
P.S. in your experience has the ABC software come up the right remedy?
It suggested borax/ jalapa for the screaming child but i was a bit worried about the borax so i didn't give that.
Thanks for your time

Do not let a homeopathic name upset you. All are completely safe.
ABC does the best it can. It must be shortened to suit the expanse of the writing.
For instance, Tuberculinum has 19 pages to study. The Materia Medicas' must shorten to 3 or 4 book pages. ABC chooses what is most pertinent.
As a homeopath, I have a wide range of past experiences to pull and compare from. The adverage person has trouble giving symptoms and translating remedies for same.
Let me keep reading. No, I am not suggesting T.

Thanks sabra... I have not yet managed to get the stramonium... It has been ordered. the nat mur has been tried.
I noticed a good change in my son. He is happier and his runny nose has stopped. However the early morning cough remains. It lasts for the first 2 hours from 7am to 9 am then he's fine.
I will let you know about the stramonium as soon as i get some. In the meantime i have changed my daughter's pillow and put some lavender oil drops on her pillow and it seems to have helped slightly. She has stopped snoring and has one or two yelling attacks through the night ( in the past it was throughout the night) at about 4 am.
Thank you for your advice and i will do it as soon as i can.

Dear Sabra,
Thank you so much... i finally got the stramonium and it has worked very well .... just some talking in her sleep but no yelling. The real test will be when we visit my in laws because she always gets bad night terrors in their house when we sleepover there. But for now i am sleeping much better thanks to your great advice.
i've even mentioned this site to a friend of mine who has a lot of trouble with her kids and she may write to u as well. And thank u passkey as well.

Dear sabra
I need some more advice once again... regarding my daughter and the stramonium. Initially the stramonium worked very well and the effect lasted for a week, the it grew shoter and shorter. Some days it only lasts 2 days and then the yelling starts again,so we give it to her again. It obviously works but do we have to change how often we give it to her or how much. I give her 2 doses of the 1M stramonium at each time. Could you please suggest the best way to fix this problem.
My second question is what does the stramonium fullfill in her system. what is it that she lacks that is completed by the stramonium?
And finally is stramonium antidoted by another drug?
thanks and hoping for a reply

sabra and passkey are away.
if the stramonium is definitely helping but only holding for a short while then try one dose of Stramonium 10M.
She does not lack anything that Stramonium replaces - the remedy helps the vital force/vital energy of the body to heal itself.

thanks erika, i am not able to get 10M here in hong kong. Can you suggest another way to use the 1M?
mother2 last decade
you can put several pillules in a dropper bottle with spring water and a little alcohol (brandy or vodka to preserve). do not worry if they do not fully dissolve (the pillules).
then you give a drop for each dose - shake the bottle before each dose, this 'plusses' the remedy and takes the energy just one notch higher - 1st shake =1M+, then second shake= 1M++ and so on.
when the bottle is two thirds empty top up with spring water.
stop using and make fresh bottle if any cloudiness appears in bottle (you can keep bottle in fridge to lessen chance of this).
If yo umake a new bottle then bear in mind it will not be 'plussed' and you could end up back at stage one again.
can you get anything higher than 1M in hong kong? - you could go to a homeopath there and get higher? it is a very high dose to be using on your own so be cautious about giving too many repeats unless you are VERY sure it is working effectively.....otherwise your child will seem to be needing more because she is 'proving' the remedy from taking too much and giving out stramonium symptoms because of this proving - so I suggest you take a break for a while at some point to make sure that this is not the case.

Thanks erika
Do you mean that 1M is a high dose? or the 10M. i cannot get 10M here. what do you mean by proving? i thought if a remedy worked then it was the right one? i have been advised to try the 1M fir one month daily and then view the results after stopping? What do you think about that. Do you have any other remedy to suggest?
thanks

I would be very reluctant to agree with trying the 1M daily.
You can prove any remedy if you take too much of it - the proving symptoms diminish once you stop taking it.
1M and 10M are high potencies.
