The chief complaint is slow growth, short stature. The secondary is; often sick with runny nose, cough. Nose bleeds often with a charachteristic blood clot at the end. As soon as the clot comes out the nose bleed stops. It seems very strange and always follows this pattern. Sweats at night. Kicks covers off at night. Has a lot of fears. Very sensitive to how others treat him.


Also, he is very intelligent, but not extremely mature. I would say he is maybe a little immature socially, but has mature thoughts.

Please explain about the baryta carb, what dose, frequency and why you reccomend this dose and frequency.

I am also looking at Silicea for him. It is interesting that kent's says phosphorus and Barta carb are similar as our homeopath says his constitutional is phosphorus (2 yrs ago).

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
If we correct him, he frequently says he is very very sorry that he exists. This is a serous statement from a 9 yr old child who says it frequently.

On another thread I had suggested PHOSPHORUS.
I had not seen this thread then.

Use a higher potency ...like 200c.

Phosphorous will never say that. They love life and enjoy it.

Look into calc.phos.

Phosphorus are sentimental and rebillious. They fear darkness. See ghosts emerging from corners of the room. Have a temper.

Calc. phos.
Calcium phosphorica
The mineral salt calcium phosphate is the main constituent of bones and teeth. It is also found in nature in the mineral apatite. Mixed with calcium sulfate, calcium phosphate is used as a plant food. It is also used in the manufacturing of glass and porcelain. The homeopathic remedy Calc. phos. is a Schussler tissue salt and is good for bone and teeth problems, including teething pain and SLOW GROWTH.

Parts Used
Calcium phosphate.

Uses
Calcium phosphate is an important mineral salt that is essential for the healthy growth of bones, teeth, and soft tissues. The Calc. phos. remedy is mainly used to treat bone complaints, for example, painful bones and joints, or slow-to-heal fractures and rapid tooth decay. This remedy is also good for problems such as slow growth, and growing pain in children and adolescents, with numbness or crawling sensations in the hands and feet. In children, Calc. phos. is effective for problems associated with growth, such as a fontanel that is slow to close and delayed or difficult teething.

Weakness, exhaustion, and fatigue after illness can be helped by Calc. phos. It is also a key remedy for digestive tract disorders, such as indigestion or diarrhea with pain after eating, and is used for swollen glands due to tonsillitis or recurrent throat infections.

PEOPLE WHO NEED CALC.PHOS ARE UNHAPPY AND DISCONTENDED.
When ill, they may crave bacon rind.

(Emphasis is added.)

Well I had just gotten Calc carb for him. But this morning I gave him Calc carb and Bioplasma (12 cell salts). Calc phos is in Bioplasma; it is one of Schuessler';s 12 cell salts.

I am still leaning toward giving the baryta carbonica. I am thinking I will give one dose and wait a month and take notes to see what happens during the month.

'Weak memory.
Memory deficient ; child cannot be taught, for it cannot remember ; is inattentive.
Forgets what was just said, just done, or what he was going to do or get.
Forgetful ; in middle of a speech the most familiar words fail him.'
bar-c-kn3.htm " rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://homeoint.org/hering/b/bar-c-kn3.htm

And this:
http://www.abchomeopathy.com/forum2.php/4097/
'Used for those who can be sweet, timid and fearful or be the class clown, acting goofy and acting out. It is indicated for apparent arrested or delayed mental, physical or social development; for children who are shy, self-conscious, with self-limitation, feeling defective. It is used for those with the fear of looking bad, being laughed at, and criticized; for those who feel incompetent and incapable. It is indicated for those who feel that they are being laughed at, mocked, or criticized; and for those who are timid due to fears, especially the fear of making a mistake. It is used for those who feel that they are being watched; for those who dare not look up; for those who act childish and immature; for those who have difficulty with schoolwork. It is used for those who are backward or behind; for those who are often the teacher's pet; and for those who tend to tics and glandular swellings.'

As I said, he's extremely intelligent. But HE DOES NOT PERCEIVE THIS. He thinks he is not smart and often says, 'I am the stupidist person in the whole world.'


One more thing, he is overscrupulous. Do you understand. He will not say abad words, will not do anything that he knows is immoral or unethical. He is extremely modest in his personal body and dress. He also seems to have an inner sense of piety and scrupulosity that is not in keeping with today's norms. For example, he sees scantily clad women on TV dancing and singing (pop stars) and thinks this is immoral. He has not been taught this or been brought up this way. I have given bach flower remedies and talked with him at length about what societal norms are in regards these things. That helps some.

He is also frequently picked on and bullied and has trouble making close friends with other children his age. He is left out of their games and social interactions.

I also forgot to mention he is not vaccinated.

Today I can report that my son seems more independent, responsible and mature. His first wet dose of 30c baryta carb was Sunday morning. So far it all looks good. Also, he slept restlessly last night.

Examine the possibility of need for Sulphur.
