We're going to the homeopath ..... MY REPORT

[Guest guest]

Morning-MistWell, the kids and I went to the naturopath/classical homeopath

yesterday! We were there for about 2 1/2 hours total. They are husband/wife

naturopathic physicians who specialize in classical homeopathy. For ds's eczema

(4 mos., b/f, unvaxxed), he was prescribed calc. carb 6c. I couldn't help but

look up the picture: Easy relapses, interrupted convalescence. Persons of

scrofulous type, who take cold easily, with increased mucous secretions,

children who grow fat, are large-bellied, with large head, pale skin, chalky

look, the so-called leuco-phlegmatic temperament; ..... Calcarea patient is

fat, fair, flabby and perspiring and cold, damp and sour. Nose.--Dry, nostrils

sore, ulcerated. Stoppage of nose......, Mouth.--Persistent sour taste. Mouth

fills with sour water. Dryness of tongue at night...... Difficult and delayed

dentition. , Stomach.--Milk disagrees. Frequent sour eructations; sour vomiting.

....... Heartburn and loud belching....... Ravenous hunger. Aggravation while

eating., Abdomen.--Sensitive to slightest pressure. ..... Incarcerated

flatulence, Respiratory.--Tickling cough troublesome at night, dry and free

expectoration in morning; ...., Heart.--Palpitation at night and after eating.

Palpitation with feeling of coldness, with restless oppression of chest; after

suppressed eruption. (he has a heart murmur) , Sleep.--.....Drowsy in early part

of evening. Frequent waking at night. .....

For my sugar craving, multiple personality <g> 4 y/o dd she prescribed

Pulsatilla 6c: " The disposition and mental state are the chief guiding symptoms

to the selection of Pulsatilla. It is pre-eminently a female remedy, especially

for mild, gentle, yielding disposition. Sad, crying readily; weeps when talking;

changeable, contradictory. The patient seeks the open air; always feels better

there, even though he is chilly. Mucous membranes are all affected. Discharges

thick, bland, and yellowish-green. Often indicated after abuse of Iron tonics,

and after badly-managed measles. Symptoms ever changing. Thirstless, peevish,

and chilly. When first serious impairment of health is referred to age of

puberty. Great sensitiveness. Wants the head high. Feels uncomfortable with only

one pillow. Lies with hands above head., Mind.--Weeps easily. Timid, irresolute.

Fears in evening to be alone, dark, ghost. Likes sympathy. Children like fuss

and caresses. Easily discouraged......Highly emotional. Mentally, an April day,

Urine.--Increased desire; worse when lying down. Burning in orifice of urethra

during and after micturition. Involuntary micturition at night, while coughing

or passing flatus. After urinating, spasmodic pain in bladder, Sleep.--Wide

Irresistible sleepiness in afternoon. Sleeps with hands over head.,

Extremities.--Drawing, tensive pain in thighs and legs, with restlessness,

sleeplessness and chilliness (had leg cramps over the summer).

And finally, for my foot ulcers, Sulphur 9c: This is great Hahnemannian

anti-psoric. Its action is centrifugal-from within outward-having an elective

affinity for the skin, where it produces heat and burning, with itching; made

worse by heat of bed. Inertia and relaxation of fiber; hence feebleness of tone

characterizes its symptoms. Ebullitions of heat, dislike of water, dry and hard

hair and skin, red orifices, sinking feeling at stomach about 11 am, and cat-nap

sleep; always indicate Sulphur homeopathically. Standing is the worst position

for sulphur patients, it is always uncomfortable. Dirty, filthy people, prone to

skin affections. Aversion to being washed. [don't think I agree with that!]

When carefully-selected remedies fail to act, especially in acute diseases, it

frequently arouses the reactionary powers of the organism. Complaints that

relapse. General offensive character of discharge and exhalations. Very red lips

and face, flushing easily. Often great use in beginning the treatment of chronic

cases and in finishing acute ones. Mind.--Very forgetful. Difficult thinking.

Delusions; thinks rags beautiful things-that he is immensely wealthy. [HA! I

wish!] Busy all the time. Childish peevishness in grown people. Irritable.

Affections vitiated; ....Sulphur subjects are nearly always irritable,

depressed, thin and weak, even with good appetite., Head.--Constant heat on top

of head (Cup sulph; Graph). Heaviness and fullness, pressure in temples. Beating

headache; worse, stooping, and with vertigo. Sick headache recurring

periodically. Tinea capitis, dry form. Scalp dry, falling of hair; worse,

washing. Itching; scratching causes burning., Eyes.--...Black motes before

eyes., Nose.--..... Nose stuffed indoors. Imaginary foul smells. Alæ red and

scabby. Chronic dry catarrh; dry scabs and readily bleeding...., Mouth.--Lips

dry, bright red, burning. Bitter taste in morning. Jerks through teeth. Swelling

eructation. Burning, painful, weight-like pressure. Very weak and faint about 11

am; must have something to eat. Nausea during gestation. Water fills the patient

up., Rectum.--Itching and burning of anus; piles dependent upon abdominal

plethora. Frequent, unsuccessful desire; hard, knotty, insufficient....,

Female.--. Much offensive perspiration, Respiratory.--Difficult respiration;

Extremities.--Trembling of hands. Hot, sweaty hands. ....Burning in soles and

rest, when standing, warmth in bed, washing, bathing, in morning, 11 am, night,

from alcoholic stimulants, periodically. Better, dry, warm weather, lying on

right side, from drawing up affected limbs.

I only copied the sx. that fit us and used (....) where I left out something

that didn't match. OK, so maybe this is more than you wanted to know about us,

but I figured I would report and let you all know how the remedies work.
