The ABC Homeopathy Forum

abc- class room

Dear All,

Question :
It is good practise to know patients complete history, which will help homeopath to decide the best possible remedy. What in case if patient is infant or disabled or very old, where we can see the problem and assume it to be something? But the underlying problem might be some thing else. There are possibilities where diagnosis on this group may go wrong and remedy won’t be effective. What care need to be taken on such cases?

Please comment on this :-)

Regards,
Nikkie.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Hi Nikkie,

Please make this a permanent class room for all on the ABC forum. There will be a great learning from the lectures of BisbaneHomoeopath.

Please keep up the good work you are doing.

Regards
Nawaz

You can still take a complete case from an infant - through the parents, and through observation and examination of the child.

You can even take a good case from someone who is unconscious, and I have done this when people have been hospitalized with serious illnesses like pneumonia.

I agree these cases are more difficult, and require more skill than a case where the patient can directly describe their suffering. You need to have a good grasp of materia medica to recognise them remedies, or be able to use the sections of the repertory that are relevent (those that relate to appearance or movement or other objective symptoms of the disease - odour, colour, end stage pathological changes).

This same method needs to be used for animals too.

The important thing, as with any prescription really, is not to theorize about the cause, but to perceive the expression of the illness exactly as it appears before you, and then translate that across to a remedy. Make no assumptions, just treat what you see.

The elderly are like small children, uncompensated in their expressions. They usually are not difficult to prescribe for because of that. However, the real difference between these two types of patients is the amount of pathology present, and the level of vital energy available for cure. This completely alters management of the case (dosage, potency, prognosis). The degree of orthodox medical intervention has also been much higher, which can make them practically incurable by the time they get to you.

Dear David,
Thanks for the reply. I got your point.

1) What are various Potencies, a proper hierarchy for the same?
2) How you decide the dose for a patient of particular Potencies?
Scenario:
i) Patient with chronic problem suffering since 5yrs/10/yrs/15yrs, tried curing himself using allopathic. As long as he is taking medicine he is getting temporary relief to cope up the situation. If he stops allopathic he is back to his suffering, end result patient is not cured.
ii) Patient with chronic problem suffering since 5yrs/10/yrs/15yrs
Tried curing himself using allopathic and Homeopathic. End result unsuccessful. Patient is in confused state of mind, where he thought of curing himself with Homeopathic.
iii) Patient with chronic problem suffering since 5yrs/10/yrs/15yrs
Tried curing himself using Homeopathic. Improvement is there but still the problem is not resolved. Possibility of error in dosage or potency problem.


In short, if the health problem is chronic or temporary then what potency to be used?
Real time examples: I had fever yesterday, I done self diagnosis on my self, and taken Aconite 30 1 drop under my tongue. I was quick to pick up my systems distress signals and reacted accordingly, within 30 minutes fever vanished. But if any point of time I had a feeling that my body temperature is rising I might had switched to 200 potency. Let me know if the potency taken was right ?

Regards,
Nikkie.

I have few questions?

In what stage of health problem one can use Mother tincture ?

Are the potency 30,200,1m etc etc, prepared form mother tincture?

Regards,
Nikkie.
 
Nikkie last decade
I would never use mother tincture. There is no need, and it is too risky from the perspective of aggravations. I rarely even using a potency as low as 6c, although there are times when such a potency is valuable ie. when the patient has very low vitality or only common symptoms for the disease.

Every potency is prepared from mother tincture in the beginning. 1c would be the first potency prepared from it (as would 1x or LM 0/1). 2c is prepared from 1c, 3c from 2c etc.

Mother tincture is really just the raw substance prepared directly into a medicine. Many of them are poisonous.
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
in my opinion mother tinctures isnt sufficient for a cure to occur they work as just palliatives, but palliation isnt needed in homeopathy even though if a person in such a stage where anyone thinks about palliation only, we should even then treat it a whole person with a hope to cure it and for that low potency can be used i.e 6,12,30 in c scale and if mental state s poor higher potencies can be applied.

First of all, thanks for your concern. I will post a detailed thread tomorrow as I am also very anxious to get rid of all these debilitating things. Grateful for your concern.
 
gkumar last decade
Dear Nikkie,
1- My mind is always burried in thoughts. Constantly. Giving one example - I had to post this thread today, my mind is busy from last night - what to write, where to start, how to write, etc.etc. But luckily others did not know my state of mind and am considered one of the intelligent persons.
2- Regarding reading of newspapers - It seems that I am in hurry or anxiety to read the newspaper as I finish it in 5 minutes, just going by the headlines. No specific news excites me.
3- Jealousy - even if my son loves my wife (his mother), I feel jealous to love me more than her. Even if my any relative gives priority to some other relative over me, makes me jealous. This same feeling of jealousy is also in the office over other colleagues.
4- Why I am in hurry - I think due to activity of my mind. I am very punctual person, 5 p.m. means 5 p.m. Secondly, I don't like that someone objects to me or says something to me in any way.
5 - Confusion is in small-small things. To go to market or not. Confused in every little and small decision. This was the situation when I was going to be married, as already mentioned in my earlier post. Very interestinly, I am not confused in office and not considered like a confused person, rather brilliant.
6- I am always affectionate to my wife and son, shows a lot of affection, though not receive the same affection from them. Very very affectionate and cares for them a lot. I am always peaceful physically, but not mentally due to my headache.
7- Scaring children - My headache has made me a serious-type of person, less cheerful and easily angered. Therefore, this situation has come. Although my son knows exactly about my headache and forgives me for my uncontrollable anger.
8 - My inner feeling has also confused due to my headache. I want peace and love. Wants to be loved and taken care of. Want of sensitiveness.
Something more to add - I change myself according to the wish of others. In house, according to wife and in office, according to the wishes of bosses. I want to be termed as best and this I had proved in office, but cannot prove in house. My wife has a different type of mindset. Although she is nice and loves me in her own way, by making all my jobs done (jobs of housewife), but does not have that intellect and affection which I need.

Attention : Vikram Ahuja.

How are you? I know you don’t like to make friends. Being on this forum for so long you become one of us. Don’t you feel alone in this world? since you love dogs do you have any pet with you? I also like dogs and they all love me a lot. Your parents and specifically your mother will be very proud of you. You have your elder brother around you; it gives a great pleasure to see you with your brother who will require your support for everything. Lets us know his case, let us see how we can help him. The most cause of your health problem is from your weak digestion system which resulted in so many complications. And you are yourself to blame for. You are more sensitive to changing of the weather and Ars. Alb. 200 will play a vital role in this. Your legs-back takes up the entire weight of your body, which I see is 100 kgs. This is the result of your bad eating habit. Also it is seen you shampoo your hair every day, I don’t think it is necessary to shampoo your hair every day.(once – twice a week is ok). Your body is not getting the supplements that are required on daily bases. You need to maintain a healthy eating regime. Your sleeping pattern is completely disturbed this can also impact your health to larger extent which gives rise to unnecessary mental symptoms like you had mentioned. As mentioned by you, in fact Dr. Pavuluri Krishna C (your Homeopath) had done a good thing by not mentioning the name of the medicine. As you see in Homeopathy one remedy can be solution for many symptoms, but in your case you show the symptoms of distrust which can hamper your treatment to some extent. And may be he wants to avoid unnecessary (not useful) queries from your side.
I notice from your message you look very descriptive in put your problem, and always try to put your queries to understand things from different scope level. A feeling of achievement from your suggestion or queries is what you look for. In this movement, you loose your concentration on things which are vital to you. This looks in your academic (which you say is bad). Academic is not always the attribute one should look at when we look at persons personality, attitude and respect is what it counts. You have respect to your mother whom you love a lot and you have a caring nature, which results in loving people around you (it can be animals too). You have weakness for food which all haves, I my self do have that. But! Good eating habits are what you have to maintain and try to cut down on your weight. Your entire problem will not be taken care by Medicine alone; your cooperation is very much required in each step of your treatment. Food plays a vital role in your day to day life, Imagine the state of your vehicle if you use bad fuel. Same is with your body, it is visible what you eat .

We are working towards developing an overall sense of well being in YOU rather than merely keeping YOU disease free. Since homeopathic remedies boost the natural defence mechanisms of the body, they play a vital role in preventive medicine. Studies have shown that a very large number of diseases are actually due to faulty dietary habits or erratic lifestyles. Simple things such as reverting back to healthy eating, resting adequately, and exercising regularly can really go a long way in restoring health.

You need to bring in some changes in your day to day LIFE. Let me know if you agree with me.

Have a Healthy Day,
Nikkie.

Dear Nikkie,
1.Food - Normal Indian food. Two chapatis in the breakfast, 3-4 in lunch (with some vegetable) and 3 with daal in dinner. I also ice-cream and non-vegetarian (although I don't take these regularly). I don't like lemon(sour), chilly and hot things.
2. Yes, I carry a tiffin with me for lunch in office.
3. No. Not at all. Sleep is the only problem, which is causing all these problems. Although I sleep for 8 or even 9-10 hours, but wakes restless and unrefreshed. Totally exhausted as if waking after doing a lot of hardwork. Dreams all the night. My nose also gets blocked during sleep. I sleep at about 11 p.m. and gets up at about 7.30-8 a.m., but with difficulty. I want to sleep more and more in the morning. Gets up totally tired, pain in eyes, red eyes.
4- Spiritual side - I pray to Almighty for every little thing. I don't pray in the morning or evening in the temple or at home.
These days, the faith in God has also decreased due to this prolonged headache.
May I know about you in brief, as I don't know anything about you.
 
gkumar last decade
Dear Nikkie ji,
May I start the medicine Lach.200, prescribed by Dr.Nawaz, or wait for a day or two.
 
gkumar last decade
Attention: Gireeshnarang.

So you carry your food. Food habits look good (Hope Green Vegetables and fresh fruit are there on menu). Do you take milk in the night? What work you do in your office.

You are supposed to follow the prescribed medicine as advised by Nawaz Ge for 5 days.

Regards,
Nikkie.

Yes, I take milk everyday before going to bed. Hot in winters and cold in summers, but mixed with some flavour like rose (cold) or bournvita (hot).
I am working as Personal Assistant and is attached with an officer in PR Department of Haryana Government. I am known for preparing important and complicated proposals, letters, note-sheets, etc. My work has always been appreciated by my seniors.
 
gkumar last decade
One more thing which I have not mentioned in any of my posts. I smoke cigarattes and started taking alcohol from last about 2 years due to this headache.
 
gkumar last decade
it is said.....
1. if there is much pathology, use low potency. not more than 30.
2. if the indications for a remedy is very clear and sure that it is his right remedy, you can expect an aggravation.
3. in case of a new patient beware of his sensitivity. better start with a lower potency.
4. beware of certain remedies like sulphur. they may be given a potency lower than you usually prescribe. for example if you know how 200 acted acted on a particular patient, you have to give 30 when it comes to remedies of the type of sulphur. this i saw in the past.
 
healinghelp last decade

so here i invite you to post some of the golden words of our founder Dr.Hahnemann and the great masters like Dr.Kent Dr.Hering. so that we will be brought back to there path if going away unknowingly due to the effect of routine in thinking and acting.

please note that i have started a new thread
'golden words of our masters'

Gireeshnarang,
Anything in moderation should not interfere with the homeopathic remedies. Use the same precaution with these substances as is advised with food in general . It is difficult to antidote a remedy, but it is best to error on the side of caution, Smoking tobacco does have serious health implications. If you want to quit, homeopathic remedies can be prescribed to help reduce the desire to smoke.

Nikkie.
