The ABC Homeopathy Forum
Desert Storm Syndrome
Many years ago my husband has been diagnosed with this disease many years ago. He has had every type of test the gastroenterologist could think of and tried all medications that did not help either. He has quit many habits/foods and it did resolve mostly with only occasional flare ups. Recently he has had a resurgance of symptoms, I convinced him to give up all fast food, no soda, no refined foods of any type. He did this and was improving until I became pregnant and became lax on the cooking because of me being tired all the time. He is tired of having no real improvement and again his symptoms are flaring up again to the point now were he can not sleep. When he does attempt to sleep he is sleeping on so many pillows he is almost upright. I am a firm believer in eating right and seeing results, but I do not know what more I can do for him. His symptoms are acid reflux with the chest pressure, panic attacks, severe stomach cramps, gas, constipation/diarrhea. To me it sounds like Gerd mixed with IBS. He has no ulcers according to the GI doc. I read a few other posts but am unsure as to where to start with him.jenshipway on 2012-02-28

Hello again.
To me it sounds like he have some kind of inflamation in his stomach/intestinal.
Maybe caused bye stress.
But the main issue is his emotial suffering. Anxiety and panic disorder etc. On the otherhand, everything here is related in its entirety.
Now I want to ask some additional questions:
1.Can he have a tendency to sigh?
2.Neck pain, is there a particular side of the neck?
3.Is it possible to describe these panic attacks and anxiety. For example: Do you think that you will die? etc.
4.After you have eaten, or when you get these symptoms, it feels as if something presses against the heart and makes sure you get irregular heart rhythm, or rapid heartbeat?
5.Do you have warm feet when you sleep, you must put your feet outside the blanket?
6. The sweat that is mentioned here. In what circumstances, at night, or is it constant? He drools at night when he sleeps, wet on the pillow next day?
In what part of the head is he sweating? The neck, scalp, face ...?
7. Do you bite yourself on the inside of the cheek ?
8. Can you get hot on one foot, or under a foot?
9. Do you have any kind of rash/Eczema?
10. What about the toilet, stool, loose, hard or what?
Ok, that's all for now. Hope you understand my bad English.;)
Best wishes; Parakletos

While we wait for an answer I can say little about swallowing problems.
The Oseophagus and Emotional Conflicts.
As far as I understand it's not shown any physical problems in the throat?
What may be the cause is a strong sense of guilt accompanied by the inability to change the situation. Which comes from a situation where you was forced to do something, or participate in, which is contrary to one's convictions.
These things can cause difficulty in swallowing food / drink, one would wish that what has happened, could be undone. Repressed thoughts / emotions that lead to tension.
If this is correct, it may be that I can help. There are homeopathic remedies for such disorders.
Someone cannot assimilate a traumatic experience.

Hello and thanks for the reply.
It looks like he needs a variety of homeopathic remedies, but the one that stands out as the first in line is Ignatia Amara.
Other medications that may be relevant later: Sulphur and possibly Lycopodium.
We start with Ignatia 200C.
Buy 200C and 1M. Preferably the granules. (Tiny pills)
Pellets, take 5.
Take 10 such pills and pour them directly into the mouth, let them melt under your tongue. Swallow. Do not eat anything at least half an hour before or after medication.
Do not take the medicine with your hands / fingers, pour them in the lid of the container, then into the mouth.
Do not drink coffee or anything containing caffeine, such as coke.
Do you have any questions, just write to me and ask.
Do you live in the U.S. you can buy medicine in:

Thank you Parakletos for your time. May I ask, how long does he take the 200c before titrating up to the 1M and when should start to notice a lessening in symptoms?
jenshipway last decade
It is difficult to say when he will notice something. But already after the first dose, he can get a reaction. Or it may take some time.
Give him a dose of 200 C. No reaction after 5 days, give him another dose of 200C. Same with the third dose. After 3 doses of 200C, you can give 1M. But, very important, not give more if he feels that the medicine works. Only when the effect decreases, you can give more.
It is important that you keep me updated!

My husband started the ignatia with no improvement yet. My question to you is should he always take the dose every 5 days? Or is he just to take the first three doses 5 days apart?? My husband is always very skeptical with regular medicines as he frequently has reactions to many of them and he had me google ignatia and discovered there was strichynine in the pills?? Am I reading this correctly, meaning he is taking doses of poison?? Please clarify. Thank you

In homeopathy the active ingredient is highly diluted.
Homeopathic medicines are manufactured by repeatedly diluting and succussing (shaking) a preparation of the original substance, mainly plants and minerals,but also animals, in water and alcohol. After dilution the medicine is added to lactose tablets or pillules.
For example, 200C, such as your husband has taken,means that the substance has undergone 200 steps in a series of dilutions, where each step involves diluting 1 part medicine to 99 parts alcohol/water.
The more stages of dilution and succussion the preparation has gone through, the more potent the medicine is.
Homeopathy is perfectly safe. This is because homeopathic medicines are made from a very small amount of the active ingredient. Two hundred years of practice, research and trials have proved the safety of this gentle system of medicine for both people and animals.Unlike some conventional drugs, homeopathic medicines are non-addictive and have no dangerous side-effects. Homeopathy is safe to use for babies, children and pregnant and breastfeeding women.
The aspect of homeopathy that is implausible for many people is that the medicines are often though by no means always diluted to the point where there are no molecules of original substance left. One of the leading current proposals for how such 'ultramolecular' dilutions work is that water is capable of storing information relating to substances with which it has previously been in contact.( Bellavite P, Signorini A. The Emerging Science of Homeopathy, 2e. 2002: North Atlantic, Berkeley.)
The structure of water
Recent research on hydrogen bonds in water provides some support for this 'memory' theory. The Swiss chemist, Louis Rey, found that the structure of hydrogen bonds in homeopathic dilutions of salt solutions is very different from that in pure water. He reached the conclusion that the phenomenon results from the vigorous shaking of solutions that takes place during homeopathic 'succussion'. Moreover, using the laboratory technique called spectroscopy, other researchers have found that different homeopathic medicines and different dilutions of the same medicine can be distinguished from each other, even though all should contain nothing but water.

That is correct, wait 5 days before the next dose. That is, if he feels a change, he must take no more. This could mean that the medicine has begun to function. More medicine at such a point may cause the medicine stops working, that is the body's healing life force / energy stop its operations. In other words, as soon as he feels something, wait and see. And very important, please contact me.

More medicine at such a point may cause the medicine stops working, that is the body's healing life force / energy stop its operations. In other words, as soon as he feels something, wait and see. And very important, please contact me.

Hello again, how are you?
Is there anything new in terms of treatment?
Just want to point out that such a case as this, with your man, it take some time before anything happens. The organism needs time to correct such a profound trauma.

Hello Parakletos,
My husband never increased his dose from the 200c to the 1M strength because he did feel 'some' improvement. He has not really improved, I believe, but he is not taking the medication as prescribed. He states he forgets and gets the days confused and instead takes them every saturday morning instead of every 5 days. I decided I was going to make him packets with the date on them on which dates to take the medication. Since there has not been much improvement even thought he is not taking the meds as prescribed, should I have him take the 1M instead of the 200c? Also I read about taking Raw unpasturized apple cider vinegar twice daily to help his digestion. Is this contradictory to taking the ignatia? He would rather not take the vinegar but I am getting rather tired of him not following directions and complaining that nothing is working and I am trying to show him that this is the better way to go, versus medications.

Hello again, Jen ..
I would suggest that you take Ignatia 1M first, let it work 4-5 days. Is there no improvement, give him a dose more of 1M.
Quite honestly I do not think apple cider vinegar will help a lot, maybe a little. To me it seems as if this is a mental problem. The right homeopathic medicine can help, I'm pretty sure.
