Do you have pillules?

It needs to be made into a liquid dose. You will need a small bottle with either a cap or a dropper. Dissolve 2 pillules in a mixture of water and alcohol in the bottle (5 parts to 1).

After the pillules have dissolved, hit the bottle firmly against the palm of the hand twice only. Place 1 drop into a 1/2 cup of water (125mls). Stir thoroughly and take 1 teaspoon of that into the mouth. Swallow.

That is one dose and the only dose I want you to take for at least 1 week.

I am storing all that information for analysis should the Calc-carb not help you.

I always read the posts for people I choose to help so don't worry. But I may not respond unless there is an actual question or concern raised.

The type of alcohol doesn't matter too much, I would probably avoid anything with cream in it or too many other additives.

Parts are just comparative measurements. Depends on the size of your bottle.

The bottle you make is your stock bottle, your remedy will continue to be made out of it (the drop in water). It just needs to be kept out of heat and sunlight.

All the alcohol needs to do is preserve the water - as long as it can do that I don't think it matters. Remedies appear unaffected by food or drink - but because it is hard to be sure I think make sure the alcohol is as 'clean' as possible (no absinth, no cream, as little added stuff as possible).

While I do counselling for my own clients, there is no way for me to fulfill any need like that on an internet forum. It may always be a little unsatisfying - homoeopathy is always better face-to-face if for no other reason than that simple human support you get from that kind of interaction. Writing can be very impersonal and I am quite a different person, in person :)

The amount of water and alcohol you use is not too important, but I typically work with 15,20 or 25 ml bottles but I have seen people use up to 500ml bottles and still get good use from the medicines.

When re-using bottles, they must be steralized with heat, preferably boiling water. I would usually boil them, then leave them to dry in the sun.

Remember the most likely initial reaction to a remedy is aggravation, so let me know what happens.

If it is aggravation, it is a good sign, it will pass, and whatever has aggravated will usually improve.

The embarassing incident you mention is so very typical for Calc-carb. I am not unhappy with the choice of remedy so far.

I agree, it can sometimes be difficult to know that it is an aggravation, while it is happening. It is usually the improvement that tells you - which means waiting.

Don't despair. I will do my level best to work this out for you.

Typically homoeopathy works from the inside out, from more important to less important areas, from the general state of the patient to the more local symptoms. It sounds like we are moving in the right direction, but it is just the beginning of the changes.

This means I would expect the hair loss to stop later on, not early. It is not considered an important symptom by the body, but this is not to say it is also not going to change. Just try to be patient.

It is very good news to hear that you can feel some positive changes happening. We were right to persist with the 30c for the time being.

Yeah sorry I did mean 1M.

It is nice to hear the improvement seems to be setting in.
