This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
The following treatment plan may be more beneficial in your case.

Rhus Tox 30c
after 2 hrs Bellis Perennis 30c
after 2 hrs Rhus Tox 30c
after 2 hrs Bellis Perennis 30c
after 2 hrs Rhus Tox 30c
after 2 hrs Bellis Perennis 30c

for 4 days and report back.

One dose means
If the medicine is in pills form 4 pills. Don't touch pills with hand. Use cap of bottle to take pills.
If the medicine is in liquid dilution form, 3-4 drops in some 20 ml water. Sip up slowly.

Please follow homeo restrictions like no coffee, no raw onion/garlic, no strong perfumes, don't eat or drink anything within 30 minutes before or after taking medicine.

Interesting but I thought you were only suppose to take one remedy at a time.
I am also a diabetic.(insulin)
 
bugler last decade
Here you are not asked to take multiple remedies at a time but you are asked to take compatible remedies in alternation.
Anyway, if you are not comfortable, you may take bellis 30c thrice a day for 4 days and later rhus tox 30c in the same way. Being a diabetic is not an issue for these broadband remedies for muscles.

So what is wrong with ferrum met?
I also have stiffness and soreness in both ankles from ankle surgery.
so walking is slow.
Are you a licienced Homopathic practioner, Natural path?
 
bugler last decade
i just gave my suggestion. If you are very good at self prescribing, please go ahead. Best wishes.
 
kadwa last decade
No need to be snotty. I just asked a question, besides, if i were to follow this sugguestion , I would feel better about it if you were a doctor of one of these fields or a lic homeopath.

There are actually quite a few remedies for this kind of injury, you need to indiviualize the problem in order to choose the right one. Using remedies on the basis of a named condition isn't often sucessful in homoeopathic prescribing.

However your question was not so much should you take Ferrum, but how to take it if you have decided to. My advice would be to take a single dose each day and assess your progress before repeating.

It is also important to alter the dose every time you take it, as per Hahnemann's instructions in the Organon of Medicine. To do this the dose cannot be dry but must be wet. So you should disolve a single pellet in 1/4 cup of water, and stir thoroughly. It would be even better to place that pellet in a bottle with a dropper, so that you can succuss (hit against the palm of the hand) the remedy. If you use the glass, take 1 teaspoon into the mouth. If you use the bottle, take one drop on the tongue.

Every person has only one state at a time, and only one remedy should be used to match this state. Doing so, also prevents interactions and prevents confusion. Side effects can happen on the wrong remedy and it is important to know which remedy is doing what.

As soon as there is any noticeable aggravation or worsening of the complaint, you should stop. When improvement stops or the condition begins to relapse, it is appropriate to repeat the dose.

Thank you. Yeah and I've had enough side effects to last a life time which is why I'm trying homeopathic.I have allergies to conventional medicine up the ying yang and dont handle surgery very well.
I bought a book called the homopathic bible and it says here that it is better to take the pills and put under your tounge.
So if it was put in water and taken one drop at a time how many times a day or for how long? and what do you mean by altering the dose each time? my bottle says its 30c. so 3 to 6 pills is 30c?
I did the remedy thing with abc and it said to take ferrum. the bottle says take 3 to 6 pills three times a day for 7 days.
I also read that you need to try to match as much of the symptoms to the remedy and bellis doesnt fit me nor does Rhus tox.
I know this other person that responded might have had good intentions but my question wasn't answered.
Yours did.
However, I do have another question for you since you seem to be knowlegable, would the homeopathics respond better for me if I detox from all the conventional meds I was on and if so, what is best for that and how do you take it?
I really really, don't want to have surgery. Thank you.
 
bugler last decade
Oops, Forgot to ask about the succuss.How many times do you hit it on your hand and how much water do you put in the bottle and for your next dose, do you use the stuff from the bottle or dump it out and do another?
 
bugler last decade
Glad you found my answers useful :)

The only 'bible' we have, if it can be called such a thing, is Hahnemann's Organon of Medicine - the original book written by the man who invented homoeopathy. His instructions are quite clear - the dose must be altered every time you take it, and this cannot be done with pills, each one of which is exactly the same as the one before it. The only way a dose can be changed, is by putting it in water and that water 'altered' by sucussion or stirring, sucussion being preferred. Every time you stir the water, or hit the container the water is in, there is a slight vibrational change - 30c becomes 30.01c (I do not actually know what measurement it becomes, we have no way of determining that).

If you do not alter the dose, the vital force, which has already been 'tuned' to 30c, rejects another dose of 30c, and will only be affected by 30.01c or higher. That rejection may take the form of nothing further happening, or more likely, it will become an 'aggravation'. Aggravation can be reduced or avoided by constantly altering the dose.

Does all that make sense?

My advice would be to take one drop each day and assess the reaction - if it is markedly better, or markedly worse, you stop. If it is slightly better or slightly worse you continue, at one dose a day. But you must assess each day. If in doubt stop and reassess the next day.

Dosage is very individual - while I can give these instructions I find that patients have all sorts of different requirements for dosage - diluted into large amounts of water, drops taken directly on the tongue, sniffing the bottle only - case management means working out what is best for that person. So what I am suggesting is a place to start.

I assume you are on painkillers for the injury? There is no need to detox for the remedy to work, and I have no problem with a patient continuing their orthodox medication until we can see that the homoeopathics are working. But it is probably a good idea to begin reducing them, at the very least to see if the medicine is working.

oops another question. can i still take bryonia while taking this>? that stuff is great.Really zaps the pain and I heard it is good for people who are diabetic.
I don't take it very often, just when i have un bearable pain. Good for my headaches too.
 
bugler last decade
You know Bryonia is also a very well known injury remedy :)

However, don't mix them. It becomes confusing when mixing remedies as to which remedey helps and which produces side effects. It is also possible that remedies can suppress or cancel out each other's effects.

If I were confident in the choice of the remedy for the patient, there is no need to second-guess with 'back up' or complementary remedies. Hard to say with this choice but if you are sure you want to take it, then commit to it and see it through. It is better in the long run to be clear about what has worked and what has not, especially if you need to report to a practitioner later on in your case.
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
Some of it makes sense but let me repeat back to you what I understand and that which i'm still confused about.
I put one pill in a 1/4 cup of water, wait until it dissolves, stir it and take one teaspoon.
wait and see if there is any change and if not take another dose the next day.Only taking one dose a day.
and for the next dose i put it in a bottle with a dropper and take one drop after hitting it on my hand.
No, I refused to take pain killers because it made me sick so I found bryonia zaps it out.
but i dont need to take that very much.
 
bugler last decade
If you have access to a bottle and dropper, use that straight away. Place the pill in a mix of alcohol to water 1:5. This will be your stock bottle and you can take a drop directly from it each day. Hit the bottle twice very firmly against the palm of the hand before each dose. By increasing the number of hits on the bottle you can increase the strength of the remedy, which you may need to do if the Ferrum helps, but then seems to stop working as well.

Have you considered using Bryonia in higher doses, or more frequently ...if it helps that much?
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
I'm going to try the furrum first since i already bought it and see how it does.
I dont live any where near a practitioner. I'm in the boonies.
I dont even have a health food store within 100 miles of me. so this is why i have to order from the net.
Yes, I did read that Bryonia was good for more than pain with not wanting to move, good for diabetic and so on, so i will try the thing i bought and wont take any byronia until its safe to do so.
thank you.
 
bugler last decade
Let me see if I get this stright.
ah, what kind of Alcohol? rum? vodka? i'm diabectic and can't drink that stuff.
and what do you mean by 1:5?
one teaspoon of alchole and 5 teaspoons of distilled or purified water?

then take one drop a day after hitting it on my hand twice but if i need another dose, hit it on my hand more times but how many more, one?
 
bugler last decade
Alcohol is put in the remedy to preserve it, to keep the water from spoiling. Over a short period, it is not absolutely necessary. The pills you have already have alcohol on them - it does not matter so much what kind you use, although the purer the alcohol the better. If you do not feel comfortable using alcohol then just put water in the bottle with the pill. You can also put the drop in more water, in a glass, if you wanted to dilute the alcohol further.

Just use the same number of sucussions/hits each time. They only need to be increased if the remedy works for awhile then becomes less effective.
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
ok, thank you very very much. I had my doubts about the bellis and the rhus tox.
but where do you get pure alchole? sorry, i'm tired and need to go to bed. do you get pure alcolhe at the liqure store, we have lots of those places around!
 
bugler last decade
In Australia you need a licence to buy pure alcohol, but many practitioners use Brandy, Vodka or other less pure forms. It does not appear to make any difference to the remedy's effectiveness.
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
Ok, Thank you.
The alcohol has a longer shelf life correct?
just so I have this correct..
I put 1 30c pill in a dropper bottle with one teaspoon of alcolol and 5 teaspoons of distilled or pure water and let it melt.
Hit two times on my hand and take 1 drop.
If i have any adverse reaction I stop taking it.
If I feel much improved I am suppose to stop.
If i'm not sure I take another dose again hitting my hand 2 times. and using one drop.
Gosh, that doesn't sound like very much for a torn muscle.
Why does the pill container say to take 3-6 and put in mouth. I don't understand the difference.
Australia, you lucky bird. I've always wanted to go there.
Thank you for your help.
 
bugler last decade
Yep that is all correct - more or less the way I would ask one of my patients to dose in the first instance (not knowing anything about their sensitivity). Other people will prescribe differently but I try to keep my prescribing techniques as close as possible to Hahnemann's 6th edition of the Organon.

Homoeopathic philosophy has been diluted and distorted over the years, by unscrupulous pharmacies, by naturopaths who have hijacked our medicines to try and fill the gap their herbal medicines leave (regarding mental/emotional conditions), by orthodox doctors who cannot believe in the power of the Minute Dose. Even patients find it hard to believe, as you have said, and generally they prefer to take too much, as this is how orthodox medicine does it.
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
I agree 100 percent with you.
I do know that less is more.
its just mind boggling that such a tiny pill is so powerful.
Just like Bryonia. I just take one and the head ache is gone in a flash.
Its fantastic stuff.

I'll start on the ferrum when i get back from Vacation so i'll post here to let you know what comes of it.
Thank you very much for your kind assistance.
 
bugler last decade
No problem at all, I am always happy to answer questions about the philosophy and its application :) Good luck and have a great holiday
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
kadwa: Please keep it up.I do follow such type of medication depending upon the case. As the members of the forum will write back I am not writing here about my combination therapy, successfully used for the past several years.(This said to be not classical homeopathy. Good luck.

Bugler - Did your tear get healed from Ferrum Mettalica 30C?
Actually, I am also having SLAP Tear in my right shoulder and started this medicine today only.

Brisbanehomoeopath - Hope this remedy will help in SLAP Tear as well. I am taking one drop of Ferrum Mettalica 30C dilution (alcohol content 90% v/v) directly on tongue. Please advise.
