Thanx once again Dr. Neil for considering my case.
Diabetes and blood pressure runs in our family. My grandparents had either had high blood pressure or diabetes. No TB in the family.
'I crave for spicy things but body can't withstand extreme spicy food' - I get mouth ulcers or my stomach gets upset if I eat a lot of spicy food.
Can I also ask you questions about my kids ?

Hi there
Your condition looks like a multi-miasmatic affection with various layers that need to be tackled one by one. God willing, all your problems should be okay but you will need a lot of patience for it-this is the only special care you will be required to take.
Take three doses of Kali Carb. 200 separated equally by 30 minutes each in wet dose and report the outcome in 48 hours.
To make a wet dose, dissolve 4 pills/2 drops (depending on whether you get the medicine in pills or dilution) in 250 ml of spring water. Allow to dissolve in case these are pills, normally it should take about 5 minutes.
First Dose-Vigorously shake the bottle 5 times and take 2 teaspoons from the solution.
Second Dose-Vigorously shake the bottle 10 times and take 3 teaspoons from the solution.
Third Dose-Vigorously shake the bottle 15 times and take 2 teaspoons from the solution.
Step 4-Throw the solution away.
Some precautions to be take:
1. Brush your teeth properly and clean your tongue about one and a half hour before the first dose and drink a glass or two of lukewarm water.
2. Nothing should enter your mouth 1 hour before the first dose and till 1 hour after the last.
3. Avoid coffee/tea on the day the dose is taken.
4. Positively report the developments in 48 hours from the last dose.
Warm regards and best wishes:
Niel

Dr. Neil, thanx for the prompt responses. I will order Kali Carb. 200 today and will take it as you have instructed. It will take atleast 5-6 days for me to get it. Is there an alternative that I can take right now ?
I also wanted to tell you that I have had Migranes for 15-16 years now. I get it once in a while for no particular reason. I get violent pain in the head (no particular side) and that only gets better after I vomit several times. The headaches have lessened over the last few years.

Hi
Let us wait for the medicine. No need for any alternative right now.
We will do another profiling after watching the effects of Kali Carb and then will see how to go ahead with it. In homeopathy, whenever we treat patients layer by layer, we need to find a simillimum at different stages depending on the physical and psychological changes that take place in the individual after having taken a medicine for the initial layer.
In the meanwhile, I suggest that you prepare your life story right from early childhood with all important events and associated feelings at every important stage. Write without any preoccupations and in as much detail as you can. Once you have finished it, do let me know. You need not share it here and can send it directly to me through email.
The reason I am asking you to do so is because I want to reach the complete miasmatic complex of your personality so that we can understand what affected your vital life force energy leading to manifestations in the form of these problems.

Difficult to say anything at this stage. However, get Nitric Acid 30c and Thuja 30c as we MAY need them at a later stage.
However, the actual medicines to be used will be decided only after observing the effect of Kali Carb.

Hi Dr. Neil, I am glad that you have my post in mind even after so many days.
The meds. haven't arrived yet. The store had sent the wrong meds. (potency) which I had to return back. I shud get the medicines by tomorrow and then I will take the prescribed dose and will get back to you next week.
I also wanted to ask you another thing that is worrying me a lot. I am in the process of loosing weight these days. I have lost 16 pounds since February through rigorous exercise and diet changes. I am pretty thin right now but my belly doesn't seem to reduce. Is it a cause of concern ? Can homeopathy help me reduce it. I have someone coming from India and if you can tell me what all meds I shud keep handy, I will ask them to get everything.
Thanx once again.

Don't worry about that. In the process of weight reduction, it is the fat on tummy that goes off the last. keep exercising and you will get rid of those extra bits of flesh as well.
I can't tell you the medicines we might be needing simply because i don't know what all we would be needing. It all depends on how your body responds to treatments.
Still, keep Nitric Acid adn Thuja handy, as suggested in a previous post.

Dr. Neil, I am still waiting on my medicines. I wanted to ask you about my Mom. I hope you will help me.
My mother is 58 years old. Fair complexioned. Height 5'2'. weight is around 60 Kgs
She has always had gastric and stomach related problems. She hardly eats anything that can cause gas and acidity. She can't handle spicy food and sour food.

She is diabetic.
She had her Uterus removed almost 20 years back.
She has cervical spondalitis. Sometimes her head spins and she has vomiting due to this.
She thinks a lot and is very emotional. Otherwise a happy person. Has a lot of family support.
She exercises everyday and does yoga as well.
Right now, her tougue is white. It all started with stomach upset and fever 2 weeks back. It subsided on its on. The doc. gave her medicine for amoebiosis which did not help at all and gave her diarrhea. She goes to the restroom couple of times even now and not just once. She feel stomach is empty and swollen up, like there is some gas in it. She feels hungry and eats normally, but she still has some stomach pain sometimes and feels that there is gas.

Dr. Neil, we have had a bad situation today. My son who is 16 months old has a habit of holding his breath while crying, but he always regains it within a few seconds. Today he held it longer than usual, his lips turned green and his body became tight. He regained his breath after quite a while, he himself was in distress.
He is an active child. He is in the 10th percentile weight wise and 75th percentile height wise. He has no liking for food...eats really less and vomits food if he does not like it. He is otherwise happy and playful, likes outdoors better, likes to interact with people. Likes being carried.
Is there a homeopathic medicine that I can give him to help him overcome the holding of breath ?
Thanx a lot.
I have taken the medicine as prescribed by you, will report back on Tuesday about its affect.

As regards your son, have it checked with some ENT specialist whether there is some deformity in his bones of the nose. Will prescribe for him only after the assesment of the ENT.

Thanx for replying back Dr. Neil. I have an upset stomach even today...feel a little bit of nausea and have to go to the restroom couple of times. Anything that I can take for upset stomach.
As far as my son's condition goes, doctors here call it a 'temper tantrum' and have not asked us to take it up for further checkup. My daughter had the same thing and we have had 1 or 2 incidents with her as well where she also held her breath while crying for longer than necessary. She is 4 yrs old now and has overcome the problem.
But my son is doing it frequently. I had called the nurse at his pediatrician's office yesterday and they again said the same thing..'no worries, little kids do it for attention'. I am really worried and don't want another such incident. My cousin's daughter in India has the same problem and has been on homeopathy treatment for sometime. So I was wondering if we can start him on some medication.
Pls suggest.

Hi
I would suggest again to go to an ENT specialist. Somehow, I find it difficult to buy the attention-seeking argument. Even if this actually is the case, i would prefer it to cme from a specialist.
Regarding your problem, what did you have for dinner last night?
