parasite?

Symptoms fingers normally just one well swell up with a huge bump around the joint. red and painful cant touch anything sends a shock of pain thru my whole body. Same symptom in feet. never same time as my hands. Bump gets so big feels like it will burst. Burning pain that is intolerable. Trying to cut open tom relieve pressure the skin is so tough cant cut it with a brand new razor blade. Must begin cut away from bump or tender area. then the skin is all dead and you must cut down till you hit a mushy bloody section and pull out long rubbery worm like things. Painful and they resist extraction. I call them monsters. Can bleed for 2 hours sometimes. They will bleed themselves close to surface so then can be pulled.
2. What first started it is I thought I had a spinter in my finger the more I picked the more there were.
It is woorse in the summer tine with the heat.
my state of mind ranges from total disgust, feeling dirty and despair as nobody will help.
I like all food.
No reaction to foods
Toes use to bleed for no resdn

Alright - I would try Lac-caninum 30c first, and if this fails it would be necessary to take the whole case and see if a better remedy is indicated based on your entire health picture.

Lac caninum 30c, preferably in liquid form, taken once a day for no more than 3 days (3 doses total).

If you instead have pillules or pellets, you will need a small bottle and a dropper to make your own liquid dose. Mix water and alcohol into this small bottle to the ratio of 5:1. Dissolve 3 pillules/pellets into this bottle. All doses will be made from this bottle.

If you already have a liquid dose just start from step 1.

1. Hit the bottle 5 times firmly against the palm of the hand

2. Place 3 drops into 100mls of clean fresh water

3. Stir very thoroughly

4. Take 2 teaspoons out into the mouth and hold for 20 seconds, then swallow.

This is one dose and the same steps should be taken for any further doses, unless I ask you to change them in some way.

If any old symptoms reappear, or any current symptoms worsen, this is a GOOD sign in most cases. DO NOT SUPPRESS them with other kinds of medication unless you are in real danger (which is a highly unlikely reaction to a remedy).

However, if you are on regular medication it is also important that you do NOT stop taking this. Once it is determined the medicine has acted beneficially, we can look at reducing such medication if safe to do so. Regular medication in this instance is NOT defined as other homoeopathic medicines which MUST be stopped.

Let me know what has happened after 1 week.

Thank you again.

After looking up lac-caninum I can only assume you believe me to be delusional? If that is the case my boss among others in my life share my dillusions. I can assure you that is not the case and these monsters are very real. If I misunderstood the nature of this remedy then please forgive me but I do not have any more time to waste on things not designed to go after what I have.

The only thing I could find is LAC CAN 30X can that be used? When you say dissolve in alcohol what kind of alcohol are you referring to? This is all completely out of my element. Please reply.
 
suedee 9 years ago
30x is the wrong potency - it is too low. Try to get a potency that is in the centesimal range. 12c would be better if you can get it.

If you cannot, or it would take a long while to get other potencies, you can start with 30x.

30x would require you to take 2 doses each day, for a total of 5 days, with all the other guidelines and instructions being the same.

I do not believe you to be delusional. I looked at the way in which you reacted to the parasite, to what it has done. This is the typical way we prescribe homoeopathic medicines.

All the medicines have particular ways of responding to conditions, and this way of responding is the same regardless of the name of the condition. As examples:

Arnica feels like someone is beating them, but will remain stoic about it and say there is nothing wrong with them.

Medorrhinum will feel guilty as if they have done something wrong, and will try to hide it from sight.

Chamomilla will accuse people of hurting them and lash out angrily, even violently.

Aurum will feel like they have failed and will want to die, and the thought of death makes them feel better strangely enough.

Lac caninum feels disgusted by their symptoms, have a strong feeling of being dirty, with a despair of recovery.

Normally I would want to take the whole case, but your language was peculiar, and it immediately made me think of this remedy.

Just because we identify our medicines by the thoughts and feelings that accompany their physical symptoms doesn't mean we believe people are making those symptoms up. Homoeopathy firmly believes that all disease manifests across all levels of a person, and that the mental/emotional reflection is as important, if not more so, as anything else.

Thank you for explaining all of that I found it fascinating! If that remedy came right to mind then I trust in you. My apologies if I offended you in anyway I can be a bit dramatic. I am curious as to you saying my language is peculiar, how so? Are you of a different nationality? I want to be able to communicate efficiently with you so if need be you would take my whole case. Whatever that means. I am a female caucasion american with a very colorful past. Oh my gosh does that all sound silly?

Hi-

There is nothing wrong with how you are communicating.

Your comment:my state of mind ranges from total disgust, feeling dirty and despair as nobody will help.

This stood out as pointing to states of Lac Can.

In homeopathy, the homeopath looks for these kinds of
things, they are very important.

The Organon, O'Reilly translation:
In the search for a homoeopathically specific remedy, that is, in the comparison of the complex of the natural disease signs with the symptoms set of the available medicines (in order to find among them an artificial disease potence that corresponds in similarity to the malady to be cured) the more STRIKING, EXCEPTIONAL, UNUSUAL, AND ODD (characteristic) signs and symptoms OF THE DISEASE CASES are to be especially and almost solely kept in view. THESE, ABOVE ALL, MUST CORRESPOND TO VERY SIMILAR ONES IN THE SYMPTOMS SET OF THE MEDICINE SOUGHT if it is be the most fitting one for cure. The more common and indeterminate symptoms (lack of appetite, headache, lassitude, restless sleep, discomfort, etc.) are to be seen with almost every disease and medicine and thus observe little attention unless they are mostly closely characterized.”

Peculiar is a homoeopathic term, for something that is not expected in the situation. The specific words a patient uses to describe their complaint is often dependent on their internal feeling, their internal state. If it is simply a description of what they see (the finger is black, it is suppurating, it is bent at an angle etc.) this is not peculiar but factual.

If instead they attach subjectivity to it (the finger looks like a monster, the finger is killing me, I am going to cut my finger off, I feel helpless to fix my finger) then it reflects something individual about the person, and THIS is what points us more clearly to the remedy (for the finger as well as the person).

You have been so kind and helpful wanted to give you an update on the remedy. I could not find it anywhere so I ordered it from ABC Homeopathy have checked my mailbox every single day for 2 weeks and tracked it to the local post office. I guess its lost and I am devastated it has been a long hard two weeks with these monsters. When I originally posted on the forum I felt at the end of my rope. I am litterally in tears writing to you as you gave me a renewed sense of hope and circumstances beyond my control are keeping me from that remedy. I want to blame myself but I know it is not my fault. I have the pellets in a lesser strength but cannot find the alcohol needed to dissolve the pellets. I cant even find anyone to tell me what kind of alcohol. I feel so desperate I know it is my condition making me so unstable as I despise it so. Thats my update Im sorry I hope to have good news for you soon.
 
suedee 9 years ago
I didn't see your post until now.

What potency do you have of Lac-caninum?

The alcohol I use typically is brandy, but I have used vodka, whiskey, even rum in the past. Avoid any alcohol with substances added (milk, cream, chocolate etc).

What have you done so far? Did you take the remedy?
 
Evocationer 9 years ago
I finally got the remedy it took over a month to get it. I was so upset considering I felt so desperate. I ordered more and the next day the post office delivered it. Tried to cancel my order but that one was already in my mailbox within 3 days. So yes I did take the liquid exactly as you told me. It got worse as you said it would after about 3 or 4 days. This is now alomost 2 weeks later and they are still coming to the surface. I am an emotional wreck I cant work most days. I just feel so repulsed by these damn monsters. Can I take another 3 days like before? My boss does not help matters I believe he is allot of my stress. I have suffered thru this with nobody to comfort me. I am a very sensitive person to begin with now I feel so incredibly hyper-sensitive. Not even sure if that is what I want to say. I had read my initial post that you responded to my god I don't even recognize myself. Please help me!

So after getting worse there was no improvement, or did it just stay worse?
 
Evocationer 9 years ago
What I will also do, is post my full questionnaire. I have only really prescribed on that short initial post you made, and the way I hear you describe how you are feeling and suffering makes me think there could be a lot more to this picture.

I don't normally prescribe on so little information, so I best get ALL the information I normally need to make a confident choice of remedy.

CASE PRESENTATION FOR CLASSICAL HOMOEOPATHIC PRESCRIBING

General Guidelines:

1. Try to be as descriptive as possible. When describing pains or sensations use descriptions along the lines of ‘feels as if someone is squeezing it with their hand’ or ‘it is like an insect crawling around inside’ or ‘it is as if someone is standing over me threatening to kill me’. Long descriptions are always better than short ones. One word answers are difficult to use successfully.

2. Another important part of symptom description for homoeopathy are the ‘modalities’. These are situations, events, activities or conditions which modify the symptom in some way. We usually refer to this as what makes them ‘better’ or ‘worse’ (amelioration/aggravation). The situation may actually provoke the symptom into appearing, make it vanish altogether, or just increase or decrease it in some way. Modalities are vital information for prescribing.

Modalities are typically related to (but not exclusively) the following situations:

A. Temperature, weather
B. Time (day, night, specific times, frequency, periodicity, season)
C. Position, activity
D. Emotions, thoughts
E. Food and drink
F. Drugs, medication

3. How the symptom is perceived is important too – odour, appearance, sound, touch. What colour is it, what is its texture? For gestures, describe what it looks like the patient is doing, or what you feel you are doing while making the movement eg. ‘they look like they are swatting flies’ or ‘I feel like something is pushing my hand upwards’ or ‘it is like I stick a fork in an electrical outlet which throws my body backwards’. Description – it is key to accurate prescriptions.

4. When did the symptom or set of symptoms start? The apparent cause can be useful in determining the remedy, although it is not of the same importance as the previous factors. It may have been a specific event, a disease, an accident or even an emotional experience.

5. Use your own words. Do not copy phrases or descriptions found in our various remedy pictures. Try not to use other people’s ideas or thoughts or words. If you are reporting on behalf of someone else, report their exact words, however you can also report your own observations of them (not opinions).

6. Does the symptom occur alongside another specific symptom? Do particular symptoms only occur together? Does a particular symptom occur with a particular thought or emotion? For example, a headache that always comes with visual disturbances, or stomach pain that appears alongside anger, or anxiety that makes you feel like running down the street screaming.

7. Each complaint should be described fully before going on to describe another complaint. Try not to mix different symptoms or complaints together. Each modifying feature must be clearly attached to a particular symptom/set of symptoms. Any mistake you make here is a mistake the homoeopath will also then make.



BEFORE MOVING ON TO THE NEXT SET OF QUESTIONS, DO THIS NOW FOR EACH PHYSICAL PROBLEM YOU HAVE. LOOK AT ANY POSSIBLE SYMPTOM YOU HAVE, NOT JUST THE ONE YOU ARE ASKING FOR HELP IN RESOLVING

MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL DESCRIPTION



(Please spend the most time on this section and give DETAILED answers - the homoeopathic remedy is very often decided on the basis of the mental and emotional state of the patient!)


1. What are the issues in your life that bother you the most. Not physical issues but mental or emotional ones. List each one separately and describe why each one bothers you so much and how you cope with them.

2. What emotions are the most troublesome for you? What situations provoke these emotions. How do these emotions make you act? Do you feel any ill effects from expressing or not expressing these emotions.

3. What incidents in your life have had a deep impact on you? Describe each incident in detail and how they made you feel? What did you do in those situations? What effect have they had on your life?

4. What are you afraid of? Especially important are phobias, but it might be objects, situations or events that just produce a high level of anxiety. How do you manage your fears? How do you react when confronted with these fears? What would be the worst situation for you to be put in that would provoke these fears? You may need to talk about each fear/anxiety separately.

5. What hobbies do you have? Why do you like each of these activities?

6. Do you have any persistent thoughts, ideas or beliefs that are difficult to stop or cope with? What are they?

7. Do you have any unusual gestures or movements of the body? Do you feel any unusual sensation or pain throughout your body? What exactly does it feel like is happening in your body?

8. When you experience your fears, persistent thoughts, or difficult emotions, what kind of sensation or reactions do you get in your body?

9. When did you feel at your best in your life? What was that like for you? If you imagine the complete opposite of this feeling or moment, what would that be like?

10. Do you feel like you are stuck in a pattern of behavior, especially when trying to deal with your problems? What is this pattern? THIS IS AN IMPORTANT QUESTION PLEASE CONSIDER CAREFULLY AND GIVE DETAILS.

11. What difficulties or problems do you have in relationships? Talk about your family, your romantic relationships, your spouse or partner, your friends, and your work colleagues. You may need to talk about all of these separately.

12. List 5 positive things about yourself. Are there any situations where this positive attribute becomes negative (is a problem)?

13. List 5 negative things about yourself. Are there any situations where this negative attribute becomes positive (is useful)?

14. Do you have any reoccurring dreams? Describe them in detail, including any feelings that come while dreaming. Dreams are very important in unlocking the deepest truth of a patient’s case, but it is not enough to simply describe them in a sentence. Give as much information as you feel comfortable doing.

15. Did you have any reoccurring dreams as a child, or earlier in your life? Describe those in detail including any feelings that came with them.

16. What were you like as a child, your character, your personality, your fears, your dreams, your problems?

17. What kind of environment did you grow up in? What problems where there at home, with your family, with your parents, with your siblings, with school?
