Seems it is a valve between small and large intestinum??
And his chiropractor can feel it? And hydrochloric acid helps?And I'm a queen from the planet Mars?
It's weird-but your advice was very good.
My conclusion about lyco: as I always suspected this is one, very seriously messed up remedy.
I wasn't talking about inside of Kent's rep-but with it comes hot and cold rem by dr Gibson Miller (actully he supposedly prepared it from Kent's work).
I wonder which remedy also acts that strange (heat and cold aggravate or amelioate!)

if the repertory gives both aggravation and amel,fo the same symptom,there are three possibilities.
First is the alternating action.
Second is that different persons reacted differently while proving.
Third is that,the same person may sometimes,present one state,in acute state,and another in chronic state.
There are several remedies,in the reperteries,which are listed under opposite modalities.
Another posssibility is that some parts are better being warm,and in some other areas,they get aggravated by warmth.
Lycopodium is better with warm drinks,as far as stomach symptoms are conerned,but better by cold for headache.
There are so many examples like this.
That is why,you can't depend on the repertory alone,and have to validate your choice,by reading materia medica.
The final goal is to match the drug picture to the symptoms,as closely as possible,as given in materia medica.

Hello Murthy,
in the other forum (where Chris is) some people are worth listening to-Chris is one, drleela another and Snoopy! And it was Snoopy who said that some remedies "have issues" with something, like e.g. arg nitricum either loves or hates cheese. Maybe it's the same with temperature? Just some remedies pay more attention to it?
Oh well-we have our MMs for doubts. The problem with MMs is that they keep repeating the same things ad nauseatum - like Bailey ("psychology of hom. rem."-but he has clinical experience too) said that for thuja they always write "thinks his limbs are very fragile and will break off" and he never met such thuja (i.e. patient who was cured by thuja, I understand).

There is a method of reading MM's.
For purely acute problems, I look mostly in Nash Leaders,Boericke and Boger.
Nash says the striking symtoms beckon you towards the remedy,and you can make snap shot prescriptions.It is possible some times.See the "Pink eye" case.
When the locality,sensation,and modality match,what else you want,in acute problems.
When it comes to chronic cases,yes, you will be stumped by some strange ideas,which you will not meet in these days,but neverthless,the books by Kent,Vithoulkus,Clarke are worth referring to.
I suggest you read Vithoulkus"Essence of materia medica" and "the talks on classsical homeopathy."
Some times,even books like Pulford,are really helphul,as he starts with Identification,essential aspects to be present in a remedy,if that remedy has to be of service.
I always read materia medica,mostly before and after I decide on a medicine,but definitely after I prescribe it,in a number of books.
This really helps me,to understand the remedy better,and also,to think of the next folllow up,if required.

Hi Murthy
I have about 10 MMs and read about the remedy "under consideration" in all of them.
I don't have Vithoulkas though-I read his "Science of homeopathy" and didn't agree with some of his ideas-so I do not consider actually getting his other books. I know you like him (everybody here knows -you always talk about him) - I'm not saying he is a worthless piece of homeopath-probably a good one-I just prefer to learn from others.
I'm buying most of my hom books in New Delhi at Aggarwals Book Centre.,

If after case analysis you come up with 2 remedies and both seem equally good you may try first one and, then, if it doesn't work, the second one.
What if they are inimical? If you are SURE the first doesn't work at all-you can give the second BUT if it worked (i.e. starts but you are too impatient)then the second will completely antidote it, right?
What do you do then? Wait longer?

That is how,the concept of intercurrents have comeup.
Merc-Hepar-Sil is one such example.Even if sil is indicated after Merc,you should wait at least for a day,give hepar for a day,and go for silecia.
It is always better to be aware of the complimentaries,and folllowers,and beter still,why they are considered complimentaries,and followers.
I was told the book Remedy relationships,deals with the second aspect.

I have that book but promised copies someone (btw in Pakistan-and Rehman is from there!)-I don't have time to make copies of this 300 page book so I planned to send it-but now when you wrote that post I have second thoughts.
do you happen to know intercurrent phosph-caust?
would it be always the same? I know sulph is often inter. in psoric diseases but I don't want to introduce it here. Even if only inter. it has to be indicated by the symptoms-right?

The three inter-currents I mentioned else where:
Sulphur
Mercurius
Thuja
-correspond to the three miasms.
..Which ever is the dominant miasm in an individual...in relation to that... give the appropriate med out of the above three meds.

So let's say it is something very simple-psoric. Does it always take sulphur as intercurrent? There are many other antipsoric remedies beside sulphur.
The guy with "drained adrenals" replied. he stopped taking these unfortunatte pills and his symptoms are clearer (to his despair however) - but when someone says he is a perfectionist I always think of ars.

Pankaj-pleae see the "ear problem" thread-she is waiting for your advise about calcarea.
Astra2012 last decade
At any stage the symptoms should tally with the remedy.
Sulphur is one of the antipsorics.
did you read that book by Rehaman.What is your opinion?
So many people talk very highly of it.
I advised Lyco for merisel.Let Ars.wait.

Rehman collected the info about all the remedies and if you use a lto of remedies in your practice it is very valuable since he lists not only relationships with other remedies but also info about that remedy like e.g. duration of action.
But if you do not use many rem... That info is in MM.it is taken from MM! It is not anyting that comes from his clinical experience.
And to me clinical experience matters most.
So you have it all in one book but for $60 (such is the price here) you can have MANY MMs!

We have to go Ars,sooner than later perhaps.Let us see.
Yes.The book is quite expensive.My son spent around 40 pounds.You get around 20 MM's,in India.Any way,I hope it will be useful.

Did he buy it for you?
I usually buy homeopathic books in India-but they didn't have that book. I even asked if Rehman has some copies to sell as I'd buy from him but he did not.
So maybe it would really be better to make copies and keep the book...

As there are no publishers in India/Pakistan,I asked my son to get it.He is in U.K.
It seems the author doesn't have even a single copy.Amazing.!!
Don't part with the book.You don't know,when you will need it.
Think of only adding to your library.

I think you are right- I'm glad we were talking about this book because I was ready to send it out. Thanks.
but now I have to copy it... over 300 pages! (at least not that big and I can make 2 pages at once.
Still have to check what would best to put in between if after phos. I decided caust was worth a try.Inimicals.

I'd wait at least till the end of the week(maybe the picture clears out).
He has no new symptoms (is this dwelling new?) and just his symptoms are aggravated-as far as I understood it.
He wrote nothing about his mood, energy level, sleep-and depending on them we know if the remedy was right or wrong.
If they stayed the same or are better-I'd wait, if everything feels worse-maybe retake the case...?

Thanks Astra
I will read it.Unfortunately,we don't get LM potencies here,and I have to manage with c only.Any way,I am comfortable with C potencies.
Astra
One more request.I will be away for about two weeks.From 12th Nov. to 22nd Nov.I will be in Delhi,but I am not sure,whether I can get access to Internet or not.The schedule is hectic.
Can you pl.take care of the Merisel case?I shall chip in,if possible,even from Delhi.
He had lot of faith,and he needs to be supported.
