The ABC Homeopathy Forum
Very old head injury?
Hello,What homeopathic remedies are normally indicated for head injuries?
I suffered a blow to the head at about age 13, now I am 38.
As I've grown older I've had emotional/mental problems in more recent years.
After trying several different therapies I am mostly better, and I am thankful for that.
However, I thought homeopathy could help me put an end to the remaining symptoms.
I'm happy to discuss or answer any information related to the symptoms, if it would be helpful. But I'm also happy just to find out what remedies might make a lot of sense to look at.
Thank you!

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Remedies like Arnica 10M, nat sulph, and opium.
You need supervision here- from a very experienced person.
For instance - google David Johnson -classical homeopathic in Madison, Wisconsin. http://www.homeopathy2health.com/testimonial.htm -He had a man going into sudden mental
illness and it was actually from a head injury as
a child. I don't know the remedy he gave him- I am sure it was
probably only one- but he then recovered. It is the first testimonial on there.
David Johnson is a good homeopath and contributes a lot on Hpathy.com
On here, read this thread- http://www.abchomeopathy.com/forum2.php/380595
Your case is different bc it was so long ago and you may not remember
the original symptoms.

nat sulph is the head and specific remedy for ill effects and mental trouble arising from falls . So i recommend nat sulph 6x 4 tabs three times a day.a feed back after seven days.

No anuj,
It is not the right thing for an old, old injury. And you
are going to need more than a cell salt. And one needs
to ask the right
questions.
And you have no experience with complicated cases,
and you need to think about - how this lack of
knowledge given to people who have little information
is going to delay their healing.This person has some
knowledge unlike others.
We have people on here who have experience in these
things- you don't seem to understand the difference
between their experience level and yours-
Please think about who would serve the patient the
best and who would heal them in the fastest way.

i am sorry simone you got it all wrong i have 30 years experience in this field.and i have treated many complicated cases all over the country side, this cell salt does wonders without an side effects.

You may not be aware there are a lot of homeopaths that
have been prescribing on this forum for over 10 years.
And many are professionals-you are taking tons of cases on
here, telling people they have 'sketchy' symptoms, take cell salts
and then report back after they 'jot them down'.
People know what their symptoms are, and there are case taking
forms. This puts the case on the 'shelf' so to speak and no one
else can prescribe like normal on here. Just fyi.
I am sorry I did not understand your experience levels, but
I still think that nat sulph 6x is not going fix something this old.

will arnica heip in this case which is many yrs old? yes i do prescribe salts because i have seen their miraculous cures,in absence of symptoms which can lead to selection of a good homeo medicine .this is an open forum,where people prescribe as per their perception based on the symptoms.As far as awareness is concerned , I am aware since i have been a part of this site sicne the last five years or maybe more,I have registerd my self now.
♡ anuj srivastava last decade
Yes, in the absence of symptoms- but you realize hardly anyone
gives their symptoms well when they first come on here.
Therefore you take their case. And ask the questions.
Others will take the case and ask the questions or they are
experienced enough to select a remedy and add cell salts if needed.
Cell salts are easy and won't have any drawbacks- and people
could take a bottle of all of them for 3 weeks straight for their
health and then a week off.
It would be easy to just take every case on here and tell them
to go take a cell salt and come back later-others are very
polite on here and don't want to interfere when someone
starts talking to a patient. Thus, you can have the entire
forum to yourself if you keep doing a lot of cases by telling
everyone to take a cell salt and come back later, which seems
to be starting to happen.

cell salts are excellent and cure cases not yielding to homeo medicines. why are you biased against cell salts.i have taken over the forum?You boast of 4000+ write ups in the forum not me . i am mostly taking up cases which have received no response after a couple of days . and then you show your expertise by prescribing baryta carb for allergies and hay fever.
♡ anuj srivastava last decade
I have been on the forum learning for almost 2 years
every day. I have nothing to boast about bc I am helpingpeople where
to get remedies, fixing duplicate posts, directing
them to drs that have handled a similar problem and
Not taking cases bc I am studying homeopathy and don't have
my certificate yet and learning from others.
The baryta carb prescription was one that one of
the oldest members of the forum prescribed for
allergies as a preventative and other very experienced
homeopaths have prescribed similar especially during
allergy season , when the person needs to go thru
perhaps layers of remedies to cure the allergies
from the core and it is easier to do that when allergy
season is over and give the person some relief first.
And I know bc I went thru that, and got relief then
did layers for a year and got totally cured that way.
If cell salts did everything there would be no need to learn
homeopathy and how to take a case and use potencies
correctly and the materia medica- they are useful for sure.
Anyway,you are new on here and I was seeing a trend
starting that I have never seen on here. If I need to I will
take it up with the moderator or get off the forum if
it becomes the cell salt forum.

you cannot prescribe the same medicine to a different personality just because he was cured.trend what trend, i think you have started it.and here is another example of your expertise where you cut paste the entire materia medica for the patient to pick and choose the medicines.

I am not going to argue about this. The woman in question
with the tongue problems has a very severe hard to fix
problem. I happened to have a book that was specialized
tongue only rubrics that had been done as a lifework by
one homeopath, who has now passed away. I thought
this might be useful for others the way it was grouped.
I even sent the book
to the homeopath who is now treating that patient, and
he and the other homeopaths in his clinic find it very
useful.

To anuj srivastava,
Thank you both very much for your assistance. I really appreciate it.
Simone, I found the suggestion to consult with David Johnson, and I am looking into the details of this. I also read the testimonial and additional thread you posted the link to.
Anuj, I do not claim to understand why that would work, but I do have some other cell salts in my house anyway, so I see no reason not to try it. In a few days I should have the remedy (it's available at a local health food store). Although at 6x it's hard to believe it would effect me very much, I don't know how these things really work.
Thanks to both of you!

This cell salt is almost specific for old head injuries and ailments caused by it.Had it been a fresh fall nat sulph 200/1m would have done miracles and i have given it immediately to a small guy who fell from the roof of my house while flying kites and was profusely bleeding from the scalp was myself surprised to see no swelling or any other harmful affect of the injury.,today after 20 years he is a healthy young man.
♡ anuj srivastava last decade
Crimson,
All you have to do is spend a half hour and google
homeopathy and head injuries and see the prescriptions
and discussions on this, based on the persons individual
symptoms , which are missing here. Good Luck to you.

OK, I have the remedy now and am wrapping up my second day on it at 6x, 4 tabs, 3 times a day.

Thank you again for your very thoughtful help. David Johnson is now on my short list for homeopathic practitioners.

Yes, I have had similar thoughts of Star of Bethlehem and in the past I even made a 'Bach bottle' by putting 20 drops in with some brandy and water, and sleeping with it wrapped around my chest overnight (I never figured a reliable way to keep it fixed on my head overnight).
I will have to look into this again as my notes indicate there may have been some improvement with this, but it's difficult to really be sure about these things. Thank you for your suggestion.

Anuj,
I have been on the nat sulph 6x for 2 days, plus a couple doses the same evening I got, so maybe two and a half days.
Yesterday I did have a surprisingly good day. I'm not sure if it was the cell salt or if it was something else, as my symptoms change and fluctuate constantly. So it could be a coincidence.
Today I had a decent day, although I had to wake up two hours early and I have been fatigued all day.
Anyway those are the last two full days.
By the way I don't eat or drink 20 minutes before or after the medication. I do drink a fair amount of green tea, though, and occasionally I will have some red wine in the evening. My diet is rather boring so I'd prefer to keep the tea and wine if practical. Are these OK with the cell salt regime?
Thank you,
- Will

There is no problems with green tea,but alcohol does interfere in the drug action.
1.Please supplement Nat Phos with Ferrum Phos 6x to be taken at night before going to bed,5 tabs, two times a week.

I have obtained the Nat Phos and Ferrum Phos 6X and will follow your usage directions. I remain on the Nat Sulph 6x, 4 tabs, 3 times a day.
I will report back at the end of the first whole week on the Nat Sulph unless I hear differently from you. Thanks.

Crimsoncloak last decade
Anuj,
I'm not sure what and how much information you wanted when you said to report back in a week, but it's now been a week so here it goes:
The first two or three days on the Nat Sulph 6X, I quickly began experiencing a lot of improvements.
I normally measure 'improvement' by noticing when I am again taking actions of importance based on my goals. (Most of the time I am constantly lost in a mental wasteland where I am thinking instead of acting, despite my best efforts.)
Those two or three days were very nice as I could feel myself beginning to really make some progress.
However beginning the next day my very good and effective state of mind began to slip away and became intermittent. I do not know why.
However, I have also noticed during this same week that a certain sense of 'clarity' (it is hard to describe, but it is almost like a light feeling in my head) returned. While this isn't as useful as the first phenomenon I described above, since it doesn't help me get anything done, it's nice to have back. (But my brain still feels 'covered' partially with an invisible something.)
I am still on the Nat Sulph 6x, 4 tablets, 3 times a day. Also per your request I am on Ferrum Phos 6x and Nat Phos 6x, 5 tablets, both twice per week before going to bed.
What do you think? Thank you for your next suggestions.

Hi. I just wanted to mention that there are a lot of people with Candidiasis that can mask as 144 different conditions and foggy thinking; forgetfulness and weak memory, headaches, sleeplessness among other things are classic symptoms. Sometimes there is bloatedness, gas, cravings for starch, sugar and fermented things. There can be toenail fungus and itchy skin and brittle nails and more.
So if the nat sulph doesn't work, there is a combination remedy called Aqua Flora that does get rid of that condition if that is what you think you may have (if you also have any of the other symptoms...and not something specifically related to your prior head injury).
Unfortunately you do have to also stay on a strict diet (no dairy, starches, sugary foods) for at least a month-- especially the first two weeks for it to work -- even staying away from sweet fruit is required. The website is also aqauflorainc.com and I have no affiliation with it. I've been a customer and can say it worked for me.
