Vertigo/Imbalance _{Page 4 of 5}

There we go now we are getting the symptoms I need.

What pain is in between the throbbing - we have a heel pain like a thorn in it, but what about fissure pain? In between the throbbing what is that constant pain like?

Actually I believe I know where to start with you anyway.

Get hold of Belladonna 200c. Take a single dose in the following manner.

INSTRUCTONS FOR SPLIT DOSING

Firstly, you need to create a separate dosing bottle. Get a bottle with a dropper, 15-30mls in size, and fill it with a mixture of water and alcohol (5 parts to 1 part). Dissolve 2 granules or 2 drops of the medicine you bought from the pharmacy into this mixture. Your doses will be made from this bottle.

Hit the bottle firmly against the palm of your hand, or another elastic surface like a book. It should be a firm hit not a tap. 2 hits is enough to begin with, and should not be increased unless it is clear that it is needed. The water in this bottle will 'remember' the number of times you have hit it, so that subsequent doses will be stronger (necessary to overcoming the resistance of your disease).

Place 1 drop into an amount of water - I may start with anything from 1/4-1 full cup (62ml-250ml) depending on the sensitivity of the patient. In your case use 1/2 a cup. Stir thoroughly and take 1 teaspoon into the mouth. Throw the rest of the cup away.

This is one dose. Repeat doses would be started from the 2 hits on the bottle.

Each step of this process can be adjusted to reduced aggravation or to increase the effect of the medicine. In order to be able to do this, it is important to measure each step (count the hits, the drops, measure the water etc).

No easier method. Other methods will work to some degree, but will not produce the results you need.Unless you succuss (hit) the bottle each dose you take will become weaker and less effective. If you do not dilute the medicine, then aggravations can become problematic.

This is the standard method of administering a remedy as outlined in our Organon of Medicine. It was developed by Dr. Hahnemann to promote efficent cure.

Any spirit alcohol will do - I use Brandy or Vodka but medicinal alcohol will suffice too.

Once you have made the dosing bottle it is simple, because you will only do this once. Then we will see how the response goes. You should only need a small number of doses.

What form did you get the medicine? Pillules or drops?

The reasons that I think Belladonna may help are as follows:

Vertigo, tendency to fall
Vertigo, tendency to fall backwards
Vertigo, from motion
Vertigo, from motion of the head
Vertigo, on turning or moving the head
Vertigo, AS IF BOUNCING UP AND DOWN IN BED
Vertigo, as if floating
Vertigo, objects seem to move
Vertigo, objects seem to turn in a circle
Vertigo, with rocking sensation
Vertigo, as if turning in a circle
OBJECTS APPEAR TO SWAY TO AND FRO

Pains which are intense and violent, with a marked tendency to Throbbing and Pulsating.

Ears, noises, buzzing
Ears, noises, buzzing with vertigo

Medicinal alcohol can often be bought from pharmacies, and sometimes various general stores will sell it as well (like rubbing alcohol).

One dose only. We will assess the reaction over the following few days before deciding how to proceed.

There are no side effects with homoeopathy as long as the medicines are given cautiously. Side effects will happen when the dose is too large, or the dosing is to frequent. Single doses followed by assessment of response is the safest course to take.

In some instances, very sensitive individuals will get new symptoms from anything they take. This is unusual, but can be managed and evenutally cured.

You put in 5 times as much water, as you do alcohol. It does not have to be exact just approximate.

So what will you do, if you do not keep trying?

You have not reported what has happened? Did you get worse after the remedy? Did you get new symptoms? What exactly happened?

You do realize that the correct medicine may make you feel worse before it makes you feel better? Could that be what has happened? An aggravation would mean that the size of the dose is still too large and needs to be adjusted.

Did you only take the one dose? Did you dilute the remedy as I suggested? What exactly happened after the dose?

The reaction itself can tell us what to do next. Move to a second remedy, change the potency.

You can choose as you wish to take help or not. I have no desire to cause you any more suffering, so if you have not the fortitude to keep searching for the answer here, I can only wish you the best wherever you end up. However, I will persist with my attempts to aid you for as long as you welcome them.

Then take the remedy - I have shown the reasons why it is indicated, it may very well make you feel better.

Remedies only produce symptoms within the first week of being taken, usually only the first few days in fact. It is unlikely you are suffering such a reaction now, it is more likely to just be your disease causing the problem.

Pillules might cause alot more aggravation. That is your choice if you want to risk that. Some people do not aggravate much on the pillules, but some people aggravate very strongly. I cannot predict what will happen with you - this is why I prefer to use the Split Dose to avoid the possibiltiy (or at least reduce it)

In an emergency however, it is acceptable to dissolve the pillule into a full cup of water, stir and take a teaspoon out of that. I believe that if you did it this way, you should also reduce aggravation considerably (if not completely).

I would still try to get a bottle and dropper for later. It will always come in handy for treatment.

Homoeopathic aggravation. The Law of Similars states a remedy can only cure, what it is capable of causing. So in the initial stage of reaction, the symptoms can worsen slightly, then as the vital energy reacts to this, it pushes back in the opposite direction, neutralizing those same symptoms (thus curing the patient). It is a simple system and mimics nature's law of cure.

Aggravation, while part of the curative process, can be managed so that it does not disturb the patient too much. This is done by altering the size of the dose (diluting it primarily), and by applying single doses without repeating until proper assessment is done.

Aggravation may happen for reasons other than the size of the dose. Some patients are ultrasensitive and need their doses very specifically managed (which is quite possible using Split Dosing). Some patients have suppressed their symptoms with medication for many years, and this often seems to make them more prone to aggravation (although this is not a hard and fast rule). Those patients with physical pathology - tissue changes - will also aggravate more than patients with more functional diseases.

In terms of what actually aggravates - that is not always predictable. Often it is just a few of the symptoms, sometimes not even particularly important ones. Sometimes it is the main complaint, which can be somewhat disturbing however frequently results in the main complaint reducing in intensity quite dramatically. Sometimes it can be old symptoms reappearing from the past. It may be emotions rather than physical symptoms, or visa versa. Aggravation is always related to the patient's known symptoms though, not new symptoms.

Not in the amount that you use. Alcohol becomes poisonous the more pure it is, but we use Ethanol alcohol in our medicines, which is close to 100% pure. Because of the tiny amounts you use in homoeopathy, it is not of any risk to you (1 part in 5 parts water in a 30 ml bottle, one drop of that diluted into more water) You probably want to get ethyl alcohol over isopropyl alcohol but honestly I do not know that it makes any difference to the remedy. You would want to get a brand with as little additives as possible. Having said that, I have used all sorts of Brandy and Vodka without any problems to the quality of the medicine.

One remedy is prescribed in homoeopathy, for all your problems. There is no need to prescribe separate medicines for the things you are suffering from. If Belladonna is right, it will improve everything, although the rate at which each problem improves may vary.
