HiI would like your advise for my case. I was administered silica 1m about 2 months back and I have to date had bad aggravations and ill effects from the remedy.
I had extreme aggravtions for about 3 weeks and when I tried to antidote it with sniffing camphor and coffee it only made the provings worse.
I tried one dose of hepar sulfuirs 6x dry about 2 weeks back but I seemed to react not too good to it either. I now have very dry skin and I feel very hot inside at times. I also keep getting diiferent kinds of aggaravations from time to time.
Can you please advise what can be done after an episode like this and if it has been 2 months then why does the remedy not stop working on its own. What can be taken at this time for the ill effects or for antidoting.
Thanks

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Take a bottle of Silica 6c in liquid form (40% or above alcohol content) and open its lid, and bring it close to your nostril, and take a sharp short sniff from the bottle ONCE. (so that you can feel the smell of alcohol going inside)

Firstly thanks for your reply.
I will do it but I would liek to get some input from your side about the effects that I have been having ever since I was administered Silica in M potency.
It seems like the remedy has formed some kind of a memory sequence...everyday I get some kind of a reaction to this. I have been suufering from cold and last night when I took some Vicks nightquil I had one of the worst reactions to silica. My head felt like a rock all night. I also feel that anything can trigger a reaction to silica like a strong perfume or taking some allopathic medicine. Silica starts taking my body and mind backwards but dosent break and then again I get to where we left. It just does not seem to stop working.
Can you please explain to me why I am getting such intense physical symptoms and is there any way to make a homeopathic remedy totally stop working. I am now in my third month of silica and it just does not seem to get out of my system.
Thanks.

Kindly do as suggested, and if Silica is the cause of what you are experiencing, you will definitely see some relief.

The only silicea that is available where I live is in a 30c potency dry form. I will have to order the liquid silicea. Can the dry dose work in any way??

Axeis,
I feel your pain. I hope this antidoting helps. Sam, can sensitive patients ever use high potencies? In all honesty, can they even use any homeopathic remedies?

Yes 'Thekind78'
I guess you have had the same experience with high potency remedies which I have had myself.
I would like to know if you were able to get some relief from the ill effects by using the lower potencies of the same remedies.

Axeis,
I think I noticed a slight reduction in the intensity of the aggravation. However, I am still contending with issues 2 years from the last time I took the 1M dose. But each person has their own response and hopefully you will be able to get a full recovery by trying the method Sam mentioned above. All the best.

I am sorry to hear that you are still having to deal with the ill effects of homeopathy. I had never realized that homeopathy could have such serious effects. Since homeopathy is marketed by being all natural and without any side effects people just take the homeopaths word for it and dont realize how much more troubles they can fall into.
Homeopathy is not fully understood even by those who are practicing it and there is no schooling or licensing requirements to practice homeopathy so you have no way to tell what is the level of skill or knowledge of the homeopath who is prescribing you the remedy.
I don't think that high potencies can be antidoted in any way and that is why people should under no circumstances go over a 30c potency. Only the lower and medium potencies ma be antidoted.
I was administered M potency just one time but how many times did you take the M potency and why did you keep on taling them if you were having the aggarvations??

Axeis,
I had a peculiar case. I was prescribed Nux V in lower potencies for stomach problems. It only aggravated. I then read somewhere that Nux V should be given in high potencies for stomach irregularities. I gave it a whirl in 1M potency. It worked wonderously. I repeated the dose like an idiot and it has ever since caused complete havoc. Don't give up hope, however. You are lucky in that at least you know what remedy you have to antidote. Many times, people take a host of other remedies to antidote the aggravation - I know, I did. It only compounds the situation. Wish you all the best.

'I don't think that high potencies can be antidoted in any way and that is why people should under no circumstances go over a 30c potency. Only the lower and medium potencies ma be antidoted. '
This is not true. First of all, just 1 dose of a remedy will NOT cause a proving which cannot be anti-doted. You need the remedy to be repeated, for the troublesome symptoms to implant themselves deep on the vital force.
' that is why people should under no circumstances go over a 30c potency. Only the lower and medium potencies ma be antidoted. '
Well you can see on this website , numerous cases where I have gone upto a 1M and have not aggravated a single case yet. It is true that, one should not START above a 30c, but if the benefit is happening on a remedy, raising the potency upto 1M slowly, (after enough waiting between potencies) is never a problem. Even repeating a 30c for long durations can cause a proving. The key is to never repeat the same centesimal potency again.
thekind78, you have never given full details about your symptoms (especially mental ones), and that is the reason why you have not been able to anti-dote. The new similimum needs to be found taking into account the left over aggravation symptoms and OTHER symptoms as well.
I am sure, that once you get the correct remedy your symptoms will go away.

I had previously asked you if I could use the dry dosage for silicea as it is avalilable in 30c. I have not been able to find the liquid dialtation with over 40% alcohol base. Please advise.
My problem happened because the hoemopath gave me an M potency the very first time without giving me the lower potencies and I have been ahving these effects since almost 2 months. In between I also took hepar sulfuris 6x dry doage just once as I was advised that it may antidote the effetcs of silicea but It started giving me its own aggravations so I never took it again after one time.

Are you suggesting to follow hepar after silica????...one question how is sniffing the dilution different from taking the remedy in dry form.
Also if one were to try to antidote the remedy then what about getting new aggravations from the other remedy..which happened in my case when i tried taking hepar in the dry dosage to antidote silica.
Also can you explain an effect of silica...when ever it starts to kick in it makes my head feel like a rock...no emotions can enter for a few days and then the effetcs kind of settle down.

Dr. sameer I am still awaiting your reply to my last post...just for the record I have ordered silica 6c with 87% alcohol from the website that you had mentioned and I am waiting for it to arrive in mail.

My suggestion is above, and please update once you have sniffed the Silica 6c as suggested.

I took the silica 6c dilution on wednesday evening but I have had mixed reaction to it.It seems so that the mental aggravations that I was having have subsided a little but now I am having return of some symptoms for which silica was prescibed. I am having lots of sweating on my hands and feet etc...silica was keeping this under control but now it has resurfaced and also disturbed sleep all over again. Could it be a passing aggravations or the positive effects of silica are being antidoted as well.
Please advise more if any other remedy will have to be followed after this. If silica is indeed my constitutional remedy then what potency will have to be taken after an M has been administered.

Well if physical symptoms have relapsed and mental aggravation has gone away that is the correct direction of cure.
What Silicea did though was suppression as it moved the disease from physical levels to mental levels.
Are you now, back to the state that you were before Silica ?

Sammer I can't say for sure but like I mentioned that I am having old symptoms returning but this again is not a very comfortable feeling. The sweating is quite profuse for now and silica was in some ways keeping it under control but was giving mental aggravations.
Do we need to take a fresh case from this point onwards...I am still feeling somewhat low confidence as well.

If you still have troublesome symptoms from the Silica 1M dose left, I would recommend taking an olfaction dose of Hepar Sulph 6c in the exact same manner.
After that, the case should be back to where it was before Silica. Then it needs to be re-taken.

I have hapar 6x in dry dosage and if you read my earlier posts I had even used it but somehow it could not antidote silica. Can it be used again now at this time if needed. You see I am going to be travelling and cannot order from online at this time for the alcohol based hepar.
axeis last decade
It could not anti-dote because it was a 1M it was trying to antidote and now it is a 6c it is trying to anti-dote which is much easier.
Since you are travelling, there is no harm in waiting for a few days, and let the Sil 6c dose work.

I need to give you an update. I have really had a very different experience with the antidoting effect.
There are two things I need to explain...firstly when I did the olfaction of silica 6c I ended uptaking two sniffs rather then just one as I could not really smell the alcohol the first time...I do'nt know if this could have any kind of an effect for antidoting
Then I started getting old symptoms returning like I mentioned profuse sweating but also started experiencing too much emotional upsetting...it got to a point that I took a few sips of coffee to try to neutralize the effects.
Ever since then I have not felt like my old symptoms returning infact I have been feeling quite different from silica M...I have had extreme trouble sleeping since this happened...it seems like my mind does not have a need to rest and have'nt been able to sleep for days...I am still getting aggravations from time to time not mental but more like physical...sometimes i feel my old symptoms returning and then they again settle down and new symptoms appear....I am on vacations and have been carrying these medicines lycopodium 30c, silica 30c and hepar sulfuris 6x.
I need to know how can we start my case afresh if it has reached that stage. I feel like i need to give my body time to heal and get out of these effects bt so far it's not happened. The more medicines I take the more side effects i get.

You are probably imagining all of these effects of remedies as a 6x of Hepar Sulph does not cause provings.
Nor does sniffing 6c cause harm when you claim you have been suffering from a 1M aggravation.
I frankly do not even think Silicea 1M harmed you, as if it had, the 6c olfaction would have brought relief.
Just relax, and forget about medicines for a few months, as you are going to prove every remedy you take in this frame of mind.

Dr. Sameer the whole thing about giving this account was for me to give you a complete picture as to what I experienced. I am in no way imagining things for sure as I have experienced most of the M effects for almost 3 months now.
It is just that after the 6c silica things have gone in a dfferent direction then where they were after 3 months on M potency so I needed your perspective with regards to that.
As fas as any damaged caused I don't have any understanding of what a homoepathic remedy can do in this respect..i can only feel the mental and physical aggravations and changes some of which were in no way pleasant.
One thing that I will say is that ever since I took silica M I have experienced a chane of reversel (going in reverse with particular effect on menatl state)...which I believe has been the effect of the deep acting remedy.
I also agree that I do need to stop all the medicines and reach a point where I stop getting these aggravations. Right now even if i come in contact with a strong smell like a perfume etc is causing some kind of reaction in me.
