Please take 5 doses of CALC CARB 200C, each at a gap of 12 hours.

Wait and watch your sleep and sense of well being for some 2 weeks. If you see, things have improved a bit, come back here to decide on the subsequent dosage.

Take 4 drops with a teaspoon of water as one dose. Don't take any food or water one hour before or after taking the doses. Empty stomach and clean mouth is best for absorption of the remedy.

Hi Rishimba,
I have finished taking Cal Carb as per your advise on last Thursday - date 4th. My bulging eyes are better and I am sleeping better as well. Apart from this there is no other negtive or positive. I have done some internet reserch and figure out that I am a true Cal Carb personality. Thanks again for all your help. Now what should I do next?

Secondly, last week I came across a blog (http://bashirmahmudellias.blogspot.ca/2012/06/hashimotos-thy.... to cure Hashimoto with homeopathy remedies. Please give your expert openion on this.

Good that you have reported the changes you feel in yourself. One should not expect any drastic change in the conditions so soon. It is a gradual process and the most important part is to find out which remedy you are responding to.

Now that you are convinced, calc carb is your constitutional remedy, you should take a sustained dose of CALC CARB 200C once every week for a few weeks.

Come back after a month. You may need a one time 10M dose to complete the cure after a few months.

Hi Rishimba, I have been taking Cal cab as per your advise and finished taking 3 weekly dose. And I am gaining weight instead of loosing.So far I have gained 4' on my hips and 1.5' on chest. Suddenly all my clothes are super tight on me. I know with cal carb it sound strange but its true. Mentaly I have become short tempered and moody and impulsive.
Nowadays I often yell at my son and husband which is usually not my personality. Before, I was very cool minded,calm and patient, specially with my son.
Cal Cab is defenitely not working for me. Plz help.
 
HSjani last decade
OK..please stop taking CALC CARB now and watch what happens to your mood for the next one week.

I am not sure as to why you should be having a bad temper taking one weekly dose of calc carb 200c.

Come to me again after a week so that based on your presenting symptoms, a remedy can be suggested.

Hi Rishimba
I have stoped taking calc carb for almost 5 weeks now.
In summery I took calc carb 200C for 5 week and discontinued since last 5 week. I am not as moody and short tempered. I am also back to my original dress size as well
However my bulging eye was better with calc carb. now this problem started again after discontinuing medication. Please help me my bulging eyes.
 
HSjani last decade
Please take a weekly dose of CALC CARB 1M for three weeks. It seems that the remedy is working but the symptoms are re-appearing. So, try a higher potency for some weeks. Discontinue after three weeks and note the changes.

If you don't get any relief, we may have to think of an alternate remedy.
