The ABC Homeopathy Forum
Phytolacca and Lachesis
Thank you for all the help you are giving to people.I am under the care of a very good and well known homeopathic doctor.
I am presently suffering with hypothyroid (slight) but my real problem is adrenal fatigue. Not making enough cortisol or other vital hormones. Long story..if you are not familiar see www,drlam.com Anyhow, ALL the hormones are out of balance.
Can be fatal. Along with LOTS of other chronic issues, but I am giving you this small information as it pertains to the questions here.
He has told me that phytolacca is a match in many of my symptoms symptoms. Because I am taking many allopathic medicines, hydrocortisone being one known to cause weight gain, along with some thryoid medicine, and I have gained a huge amount of weight. I feel I may be 30-40 pounds over weight...and I am normally a size 36 or size 6 US. I am mortified with my body.
The homeopath has told me that phytolacca will make me lose weight, but of course, this is not why it is being presecribed....but he told me twice I will lose weight. Which has made me VERY excited!!!
I have been trying to reduce my weight and it has not been as easy for me as it normally is due to the medication.
I would like to know, since it is a remedy that is suited to me prescribed from a doctor, how much and how easy can I expect the weight to come off?
Amd the 2nd question is, will it have a bad effect on my metabolism and thryoid and overall issues?
My second issue it Lachesis...The doctor has told me to get lots of different medicines, I am 35 and have been sick most of my life, so there is a lot to work through.
But since my main problems now are hormonal, and also a TWITCHING/spasms that happen in my legs, Lachesis seems to be a fit for my most recent body upheavel the last 3 days with gum swelling, mouth ulcer, slight blood in nose when blowing, extreme uterine pain since after ovulation (period is in 3 days( and 3 times a month rectal bleeding with BM.
Anyhow, my question is, will Lachesis also reduce the breast pain I get before my period. They ache so badly...it is sometimes unbearable to have a bra on or to exercise.
Thanks again for your time..God Bless you!

I was not interested in having someone to prescribe a remedy. As I stated, I already have a doctor.
I was interested in the actions of the remedies.
However, I briefly filled out this form..but it really does not cover everything that is hapenning to me..not even close.
I am taking several remedies, Organon dosing...of which I have only taken a few doses of each...including..arsenicum, thuja, hamemelis, nux vomica, lycopodium, Lachesis, sepia LM, sulpur, which I have been taking each day...on order are many more, including the phosphorus that you mentioned. Today and yesterday taking Lachesis for the current issues with my swollen gums, bleeding, and
uterine pain.
