The ABC Homeopathy Forum

to gavin murphy

dear sir i have been researching homoeopathy for two years.
but what i would desperately like is your help.
i have been trying to corralate all the information that in those two years i have researched.

HELP MENTAL EXHAUSTION
i have seen you give advice very often and wondered if you would bestow your knowledge to me in order for me to regain my strength.

i would like help for mental exhaustion, i have had it all my life in some form or other,
but at this particular moment in time it has lasted for two years,
i do not seem to bable to resume normal life.
it is as though over the 12 years of study and work that i did completely wiped me out as though something inside me died, my energy vigor my will.
it sounds silly but it feels as though my heart has metaphorically speaking- stopped.it like i am dead, a machine my essence has gone.

so i will begin
i am a 35 year old woman
have anemia alpha thalasseima.
very dry skin and hair.
very slim.
love rich, fried fooods and shell fish.
allergic to egg yolk.
skin scars very easily very delicate and hyperpigmention if scarred.

if you do reply to this post i would be very greatful thanx

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
I was in touch with Murthy yesterday, he informed me that he way be away from the internet for a over a week. In the event you don't hear from him, that is probably the reason.

Mr. Murthy is away for some days.In the meanwhile, you may try one dose of Picric Acid 200.Report one week after taking the remedy if it helps or not.Most likely it will.

Rajiv

Dear Rajiv,
The same medicine Picric Acid was in my mind but i did not prescribed because the patient particularly addressed murthy.I think that picric acid is not one of but the best remedy for exhaustion.I hope the patient will be benefitted.Before changing the remedy he may try different potency of the same medicine.

Dear Sajjadbhai,

Thanks for the endorsement of the prescription.I know that the patient addressed Mr.Murthy, but i always think about serving the people where i can.In this case i thought that this remedy would help and hence suggested it.

Certainly Picric Acid is the 'similimum' for this tremendous exhaustion brought about by years of overwork.

Now, it is up to the patient to take the advice or not to take it.We have done our duty.

May God bless all.

I agree with Rajiv's suggestion. Take it as suggested, and come back after a week.

We will follow it up.

Can you tell me the time span in which you took all these medicines? Over a period of one year? Six months?

Did you take all these medicines on the advice of a homeopath?

When was the last time you took the homeopathic medicine, and is it Picric acid?

Are you currently taking any allopathic medications, and if so, what are they?

Murthy
 
gavinimurthy last decade
hi mr murphy,
yes a homoeopath at central nhs hospital in london in holborn who found out i had
alpha thalassemia & training homoeopath in final year. and have become familair with the homoeopaths in nelsons ainsworths helios over two years.
i have also written to jan scholten who gave me selected reading material via his web site.
last week i had a blend of silicea and weisbaden 200 for brittle hair, suggested by friend
i am not on any other medicine.

i forgot to say i have or had folliculitis in my groin area when shaving the hairs become inflamed and ingrown and isdark brown because it is very badly scarred and hyperpigmented
my memory is very fragmented, for example i forgot to tell you this very imformation .
gum integrity is soft, my dentist informed me.
i do not want to innudate you so many symptoms

O.k.

Give me a couple of days to analyse the case. I will come back.

Murthy
 
gavinimurthy last decade
hi mr murphy,
thank your greatltly for your time and effort.
i would like to say that i approached you because i found that you were very professional and after seeing three homoepaths, who were more intrested in prescribing and billing than listening, and trying to exaccerbate the situation, were unable to see how depleted i really was. i expected to get constitutional remedy, but could see i was in for a lenghty process, anyway won't keep you

thankyou kindly

nmgdes
 
nmgdes last decade
It is the most challenging case, I ever handled and I will try to do my best.

You need a series of remedies, and we will go slow and steady with one remedy at a time.

You buy a bottle of Kali phos 6X, and start taking 4 tablets twice a day.

Continue for a week. Give a gap of two days, and report back.

Don't take any other homeopathic remedies.

Murthy
 
gavinimurthy last decade
hi mr murphy again,
thanx for replying, very kind of you.
i would like to reply to one of the questions in more detail.
the question was how i felt when exhausted.

the answer was i never knew!

until you made me think about.

i had always been taught by my father who was a soldier, to keep a strong mind even to the detriment of the body.
so i never knew how i felt.
and to ignore my weakness.

now i can tell you how i feel.
my temples> feel like they are going to burst
stomach feels> queezy, slight burning, loose, bloated, uncomfortable.

body> aches is weak, sore, tense.

breath nearly always smell like it has gone off , rotting is atroscious.

i have dark skin in groin area, armpits and neck.

i knew the case would be difficult i just hoped i could have something which would help with memory, concentration and comprehension,

i have had a problem with mental exhaustion etc, all of my life in some form or other,

i thought that this might help eliminate certain factors

lov nmgdes
 
nmgdes last decade

The more you tell about you, the better in homeopathy. I did consider the additional information provided by you, and the present remedy choice remained same, and hence advised you to start taking the medicine.

All the best.
