Asthma of my 13 Year Old son _{Page 2 of 5}

My apologies about the NOT which should of course read as NOW.

It is possible that he is having some discomfort in his stomach and I would hesitate to put it down to Hyperacidity at that age.

You can ask him if he feels full or has some burning in his stomach which can indicate hyperacidity which can be treated with Nat Phos 6x. However I would hesitate to use it as it is possible that it may interfere with the Nat Sulph 6c which we are giving him for Asthma which is the more important ailment to control.

Please report on his progress tomorrow.

I am glad to learn that he has had his third night without Asthma and I am confident that he is well on the road to a cure and eventually a complete recovery like so many others whom I have treated with this amazing remedy.

I cannot think of any reason for his present condition but am sure that it was not brought about by the Nat Sulph.

Suggest you check the food that he eats which may contain something that he reacts to. When does he complain of his problem ? Before or after meals ?

Ensure that he drinks plenty of water and runs about like any normal boy should.

It is possible that his general physical condition and also his growth may have been severely handicapped by the steroids in the inhalers you were using. I do realize that it was a matter of survival in his case as he obviously had to breathe to survive. You have seen how very effective the Nat Sulph 6c is and I do hope that others too who read this thread will pass the word around to their friends, espcially those who have children suffering from Asthma that salvation is at hand with this simple remedy which is absolutely safe to be used, if necessary throughout life, in place of the Inhalers and tablets which are usually prescribed for Asthma.

Let us hope that your son will respond to the stoppage of the steriods that he was given for years and that his normal appetite will return.

To Vijay

Glad to note that his asthma is now under control.

I would not recommend that you use the Ars Alb in the manner that you did merely because he coughed a few times. This is Arsenic and should be treated with respect and only to be used if he cannot breathe and must use the inhaler.

I hope that you are using the steam inhalation therapy I indicated as this will soften the phlegm and ensure that he does not have any problem in breathing.

It is possible that the chocolcate may have triggered his attack as the Hexigel did.

You did right by not giving him the inhaler which we must avoid at all costs unless it is abvolutely SOS.

Your giving him Ars Alb 30 cannot help him and you may like to know that the 30c is a lower potency and has more of the substance than the 200c which is the only potency that can help him with his asthma in the event of an attack.

He must be given 2 steam inhalations and if you feel that he is having phlegm in his chest you can follow my instructions on physiotherapy in other threads on Asthma. This is done by putting the patient across the bed with his face down over the side and pillows under his abdomen to elevate his body and tapping the back of his chest. This promotes the flow of phlegm which is dislodges by the tapping and he will bring out a cupful. This procedure must be done after he has a steam inhalation for about 3-5 minutes.

Remember that the phlegm can be the cause of his distress and we should try to get as much of it out of his lungs.

You will see that I have always prescribed Ars Alb 200 and as I have stated before this is only to be used SOS if he is unable to breathe when in the past you would give him his inhaler. Remember that the 200c is far more effective than the 30c which I am surprised had any effect at all when you gave it to him.

I was interested to learn that you gave him 2 teaspoonfuls of Nat Sulpn on one day. If as you state, you discovered that it helped him, I would not rule the double dose out as it has helped him. The standard dose is just 1 teaspoonful per day and I have never used 2. If it works you are cleared to use it but only when you find that his lungs are straining for a breath. Do not however get him used to the double dose on a regular daily basis as in Homeopathy Small is Beautiful.

He will soon get over his asthmatic symptoms and as this is still the fifth day, I believe that we are doing very well. It would be of interest to learn how many times you used the inhaler for him per day in the past before the NS therapy.

There is no real problem associated with the physiotherapy which I have described in brief above. You have to try it with him to see how easy and effective it is to bring out his phlegm. This should always be done after a steam session for best effect.

Also read my post about how I cured a patient who was having a chronic cough but no asthma at all and he was also OK in a day. He has been on the NS for about a week now and does not cough at all any more.

I must admit that the more that I think of Nat Sulph which is commonly known as Glaubers Salt, helping to cure Asthma, the more I wonder about the mystery of Homeopathy which I am thankful to God that I was able to use in a strictly non classical manner which as you have seen, works.

It seems to work even better than the classical method which is in my opinion just a waste of time when used without the benefit of Homeopathic software as the odds against the homeopath succeeding in identifying a remedy merely on the basis of his knowledge is very remote. You have only to read the many posts of persons whom I have helped in my own way to realize how much the patient suffered at the hands of qualified homeopaths for years only to discover that he was cured almost overnight by the remedy that I had prescribed in my non classical way which worked like a charm ! After all it is the cure of the ailment that must be paramount and not the method used.

There is little I can do for his mental state and I am confident that he will grow out of that fear complex which he now has which would have stymied his future growth in life if you did not post your problem on the ABC and I responded to it.

Please do not thank me for helping your son. Thank God that I was able to be the instrument of curing your boy.

WOW!!! Datin

What wisdom!!!!

I too have been puzzled why the world has become so doubtful and non-accepting of truth. Seems like most humans prefer lies than the truth.

You are right!! After living in a world of false promises we stop hoping and believing even when the truth stares us in the face.

Thanks for such wisdom. You have been a great inspiration to me.

Am so overjoyed to read about your little boy. You are both blessed to have had the opportunity to know Joe. So happy that you gave this a try although you had doubts.

Never give up trying.

To Vijay

As I have stated on many occasions before, life is a long learning process which will only end when one is no more.

I had never used the Nat Sulph 6c in 2 doses per day and as long as your son is helped by 2 daily doses, I do not see any reason to not use it.

Please watch for any signs of aggravation which you will soon know if he gets an attack. It is far better to use the NS instead of the Ars Alb which is only to be used SOS.

It is indeed a shame that the majority of classically trained homeopaths are brainwashed into believing that only those remedies that are listed in the classical texts may be used to help ailments. In this case NS is in fact listed but not in the potency and the manner that I use it today which as you know has helped many patients and especially children.

I do hope that these same classical types will at least consider the information that I have shared with them on this and other forums instead of invariably criticizing me merely because I did not prescribe a remedy following their classical method which to me seems just another way of pulling the wool over the eyes of the suffering patient by first prescribing 'constitutional remedies' when the poor patient has consulted them for, like in your son's case for chronic asthma when they will never give you Nat Sulph 6c.

I do appreciate your sentiments and your kind thoughts and I too believe that it is the reward that God gives me for my part in helping others that keeps me alive and well without any ailment in my body which is the normal price one usually pays at age 77.

Please spread the word among your friends that a remarkable cure is at hand for Asthmatics which is very effective and invariably works and what is more important cures the patient after about 6 months on the daily therapy.

To Vijay

I would prefer that you do not add any other remedies to his current therapy for his Asthma which you have seen has worked very well. You must understand that this therapy is very finely balanced on a virtual knife edge and I would not like to upset the delicate balance that the Nat Sulph is slowly establishing in his URT now.

The main idea is to keep him away from his Seretide or Ventolin inhalers which would have been responsible for his lack of growth and also his URT infections. It is the natural balance that I am trying to achieve in his body that will eventually result in weaning him away from all medicines.

We will keep him on the present therapy for 2 months and change over to the split dose thereafter.

I have just ready your post and here is the remedy for your son for his flu.

Gelsemium 30c in the wet dose.

This should be given as soon as you first notice any discomfort or fever and you can give it every 3 hours. This usually aborts the virus

I shall reply your post shortly in detail.

To Ms Thakkar,

I am sure that you have realized by now that it was the exposure of your son in the Temple at midnight that aggravated his feverish state. You must know as his mother that you must not expose him to further infection which can lead to pneumonia and immediate hospitalization when he is unwell. Please never do that again for his sake as I cannot help you when he is in a SOS state like what he would have been last night. It is your duty as his mother to cancel all his movements out of home and especially at night when the temperature is usually colder and is also wet as I know that India is experiencing constant rain in most parts at this time. This form of exposure can result in a chill and as I stated above it can be followed by pneumonia which I would not be able to handle. You must understand that the Nat Sulph is doing a fine balancing act in allaying his asthma and we do not want this dreaded disease to ever come back.

I have indicated in my last post that Gelesmium 30 is the remedy to be used only if he shows signs of catching a cold or cough. This is most effective if it is used as early as possible when he or you his parents shows signs of an oncoming cold when you will feel chilly and also sneeze. In the case of a throat infection the remedy to be used is Bell 30 and the dosage in both remedies is 1 teaspoonful to be taken every 3 hours at the start and after the ailment is stabilized 3 times daily. Drink plenty of warm liquids and keep the body warm and in bed. You did right by not sending him to school today. He must be fully recovered before you send him to school.

Thank you for your kind thoughts and I do appreciate your prayers which mean a lot to me at my advanced age which as you perhaps know, I shall be 77 in October.

You will use the Nat Sulph 6c daily for Asthma.

You will ONLY use the Ars Alb if he is having an attack and cannot breathe. Consider this remedy the equivalent of the Inhaler. Only to be used SOS.

Gelsemium 30c to be used only if he is catching a cold. Please note that after you catch it there is little that any remedy or drug can do as we are dealing with a virus which only Homeopathic remedies can ABORT.

This goes for any throat infection too which is treated with Bell 30c in the same manner.

Since he has already caught the cold and may be feverish you can give him Gels 30 dose 1 teaspoonful 3 times daily. (Not 3 hourly).

Both Gels and Bell to be made into the wet dose in the same manner as the Nat Sulph.

I shall deal with his other complaints like poor appetite and immune system in due course. The reason is that I do not wish to antidote the Nat Sulph which has so far kept his Asthma at bay.
