The ABC Homeopathy Forum

symptomatic and confused

Hello. I am new to the forum. I started homeopathic therapy 8 mos ago because I became intolerant of antibiotics for lyme disease. My first symptoms 4 years ago was double ear pain which eventually when to chronic ear clogging, virbration in head, tinnitus then over time went to facial jitters which lead to arm and leg vibrations. creaking joints especially the neck soon followed. I did 14 weeks of IV Rocephin. Helped but jitters remained. After taking cipro and levaquin I developed foot pain and buzzing feet and visual snow, which are still with me. Anyway when I stared homeopathy everything the doc said would happen- happened. By month #2 I was doing much better and felt hopeful. By month 3 I noticed some of the ear problems started to resurface and I took garlic which helped. (I was at this point taking 17 remedies 3x/day. The jitters again wouldn't go though far less noticeable. Things didn't change much, visit to visit from that point on until 6 weeks ago I had a serious gastro event which put me in the hospital. The jitters, vibrations and tremors we as 4 years ago. I went to the doc 2 weeks ago and he said I don't have lyme, that it is gone and he checked me and said it is a virus. He gave me an updated remedy and within 24 hours I was vibrating and muscle twitching so bad down my back and everywhere I didn't go to work. After 2 days of this I suddenly got significant relief. This past Sunday, it was starting up again and I stopped the remedy. I still felt the twitches and jitters all night and only got 2 hours sleep both Monday and Tuesday night. It has gotten better but the intensities come and go. My head hurts, ears are buzzing I am putting cotton in them. Sometimes I feel like it's still lyme. I though I understood homeopathy until now. All in all the symptoms have been intensifying for 6 weeks now and I though that shouldn't be happening. Anyone who cares to lend any info that can help me with this I will appreciate it. If this helps, I realized I had lyme for many years before I was treated for it. I live in Maryland. Thanks for the time.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
What remedy were you given recently?

What potency?

How were you told to take the remedy?

How many doses were you told to take?

What instructions were you given as to when to stop and when to repeat?
 
Evocationer last decade
I was never given any instructions to stop and repeat. I have been doing sprays 2x day/daily. Here are the remedys; pinealsol, neurosol, klimasol,thyrosol,adrenosol,allersol,echosol,bactesol and a second bactesol. These are supposed to be done 2x day - spray (I don't know the strength-sorry) Then I have Lymsol I Lymsol II. Toxisol, Cerebrosol,Virosol E,VirosolX, Toxosol, Virosol SZ, and Geopathic Stress that I take 1 x a week - 1 spray. Thanks for replying. I am so miserable.
 
Angelique last decade
Oh I forgot to ad, the newest ones were the bactesol and an updated version of the echosol. thanks again

That is not homoeopathy you are doing. Those products contain a very dangerous mix of our medicines, often in multiple potencies (strengths). If you are taking all of those you are taking hundreds of remedies!! I looked at the constituents of just one and it has 22 named remedies in it, some of which were given in 6 different potencies!!!

This is the worst abuse of our medicines I have ever seen.

You not only are harming yourself this way, you could very well make yourself incurable. You must stop right away before the damage becomes irreversible.

Hi- Is this a real homeopath you are going to, or a naturopath or
some other type practitioner who also does homeopathy?

Was the above person the one who said you don't have Lyme
anymore, and if so, how did he know? Did he do any tests
or send your blood to a lab?

If not, you don't have the facts.

Lyme is a complicated matter. Dr. Showrav who volunteers on this
forum when he has time, has cured a couple of usa Lyme cases.
Two of the patients, had gone to well respected classical homeopaths
who were prescribing the patients overall constitutional remedy,
and then were told they could not be helped bc there were too
many things going on and those things were getting worse.
They went to Dr. Showrav , he had to work with them as a private
patient bc it took 3 to 4 months and they were cured.

You can write to Dr. Showrav, who has his own clinic in Dhaka,
* his mother is also a homeopath and he also has his degree
in homeopathic medicine development.

His email is jashowraw At gmail dot com.

What this person is giving you now as E has said is very wrong.

Thank you for the comments. This is a MD that has studied and practice homeopathy and homitoxicology for 30 years. Two people were cured of lyme from him which is why I went to him. In saying that, since my last post, I stopped the remedies for 4 days and restarted on a very light dose and am feeling incredibly better. In fact the most troubling symptoms I had for 4 years are quiter than they ever been at this point. As far as the cure question, he examines me at each visit and tests me> I hold a metal rod in one had and one is laid across the clavical. i don't know what this is called. He told me 3 mos ago my mycoplasma and cosockie virus was gone that I tested postive for in a lab test a year ago. I decided to have it retested and sure enough they are gone! So, prayerfully things won't go wrong from here as E indicated. I will continue to post. I thank you again and keep you in my prayers.

It sounds like you are seeing Dr. Yurkovsky- who has developed his own
methods and uses a 'machine' type device- of his own 'invention' to determine what is in
the body.

Just be aware, there are some disappointed people who have run out of funds to keep doing this.

One of Dr. Y 's early students was Dr. Dave Ou, who is an integrative
medicine- MD, internist and chinese medicine specialist who has a
practice in Atlanta, Ga. He does not think that what Dr. Y does works, and
Dr. Ou uses specific labs and real body testing for Lyme and mold testing.
He also has a year waiting list of people across the usa and he would rather use
Chinese medicine and other things to treat Lyme.

So if you find you have to keep going back, and are not happy,
I suggest you contact Dr. Showrav.

Good luck,

Simone717

Well whatever that is, it's not homoeopathy. This is not to imply that homoeopathy is the only thing that works, but nobody here will be able to guide you as it is quite alien to us.

If he makes those remedies himself with some kind of machine, they are not actually our remedies at all. Those kind of medicines made with electromagnetism, electricity and other forms of energy have no relationship to the remedies they are named after. If that is the case, if those products are not actually combinations of our genuine remedies, my warnings don't really apply.

Of course, that is unknown territory so who knows what kind of problems could arise.
 
Evocationer last decade
My son got well using this protocol.
 
Kathryn7 last decade
It is hard to judge those kinds of statements. What does 'got well' mean? What was the actual result? What state was the patient in prior? Did the patient cure in the correct direction or were the symptoms suppressed? Did the symptoms resolve on their own (as often happens in acutes)? Were some symptoms uncured? Did the patient go on to develop different symptoms or a new disease? Results from any method need to be looked at critically and completely.

Homoeopathy has high goal posts for cure. When cure is not clearly defined, it is easy for anyone to argue that someone was cured.

As I said, people can be cured by things other than homoeopathy, however this is not homoeopathy and it is unethical for it to be represented as homoeopathy. It breaks so many of our principles as to be more Allopathy than Homoeopathy
 
Evocationer last decade
Thank you for your posts. Western medicine is pioneering all the time. Would that not be so with homeopathy? Homeopathic medicine is medicine. Complex homeopathic medicine is a different step in that direction, and from what I have been investigating lately may possibly be the best treatment and 'cure' for those with long term illnesses. Again I am not an expert, but so far out of everything I have been through this has carried me the longest. As far as I am concerned, if I return to my previous health, enjoy life again, that would be my definition of a cure! I need nothing more! I will post how I am doing, good or bad as it comes. I have researched to see if there are complaints against the doctor that is treating me this way, and I found nothing but positive testimonies. Thank you and have a most blessed Easter!
 
Angelique last decade
It is not homoeopathic medicine. Law of similars is not being used, nor is the Law of the minimum dose or single remedy, or Direction of cure - as well as dozens of other principles.

You cannot practice allopathy with our medicines and still call it homoeopathy. That is the simple fact of it. There is no such thing as 'complex homoeopathy'. Such a term is made up by people wanting to claim our historical successes for themselves. Either you practice by the principles or you don't.

There is a great deal of pioneering going on in homoeopathy - this is not it. This is the same rubbish that Hahnemann fought against when he first began, it is nothing new. Orthodox medicine is always trying to steal the ideas of other therapies, because their own system is a chaotic hodge podge of ideas that do not work together to promote genuine health. But it just creates more chaos and disappointment and worse, it creates more disease. Of course this creates further business for them too, surprise surprise.
 
Evocationer last decade
E, I respect your opinion. Please do tell me a homeopathic practitioner, who, by all the correct standards, will cure me and I will follow up! I have inner vibrations from face through legs, sensory hypercusis throughout. head noise, chronic ear congestion, eye floaters, visual snow, neck stiffness and cracking joints. Odd skin eruptions. Tell me please!!!
 
Angelique last decade
I can attempt to prescribe for you through the forum here if you like, however you must realise that such a method of taking a case is very limited as compared to a face-to-face environment.

I will post a questionnaire for you to answer and we can see how we go.

HOW TO DESCRIBE YOUR COMPLAINTS

In homoeopathy, prescription is based on precise details of various symptoms from which you suffer. To tell or write to a homoeopathic physician 'I have a headache ', ' an eruption ' or “a cough” would not be enough. If you inform him 'I have headache with sharp shooting pains in the left side of the head and temple, these pains always come on when the slightest cold air strikes the head. I feel better by pressing the head very hard.” Then only you have given all the information required for making a good homoeopathic prescription. The success of the prescription depends; largely on how detailed your description of the symptoms is.
We require the following details about your symptoms.

LOCATION: Please give the exact location of sensation, pain or eruption. Also describe where the pain or sensation spreads.

SENSATION: Express the type of sensation or the pain that you get in your own words however simple or funny it may seem. You may have a sensation that a mouse is crawling or the heart was grasped by an iron hand or you may have a pain that is cutting, burning jerking, pressing. Express the sensation or pain as it feels to you. Try to explain the whole sensation in the exact way it is happening and not just the word. We need to understand the whole process of the sensation as it is happening to you.

WHAT MAKES YOU WORSE OR BETTER:

Many factors are likely to influence your complaint. Some factors may intensify it and some factors may relieve the trouble. A detailed list of the factors is given at the end. Please refer it while describing each of your troubles and indicate which factors make the complaint better or worse.

DISCHARGES: You may have a discharge from nose, ears, mouth, eyes, ulcers, fistula, eruptions on skin, private parts, etc. Please describe your discharge under the following aspects.
• The quantity and the time or condition under which the quantity varies i.e. when is it better or worse, when does it increase or decrease?
• The consistency: Is it thin or thick, stringy or clotted?
• Is it like jelly, white of an egg, like water, sticky forming a scab etc.?
• The odour, what does it remind you of?
• Does it make the parts sore, and in what way?

1] Your Complaint:

(Use your own words as far as possible, but if you have recognized or diagnosed the condition, give this information also.) By answering as many of these questions as fully as possible, you are helping me to understand what your body and unconscious mind is conveying. This can help me find a remedy for you.)

Angeline,
I too recently had the same procedure done and was prescribed almost the same laundry list of remedies. I was very open the the energies of the body and the fact that it can heal itself. But my skeptical science mind felt like something was amiss because he was doing the testing of the vials on the plate behind my head, out of my eyesight. I turned my head to find him laying other objects on the plate in order to make the noise. Then prescribes me 10 remedies to take 3 times a day. Hopefully I can find someone of Evocationer's expertise in the US. I will pray for your recovery, but just reading your posts prior to my office visit led me to believe this diagnoses was NOT RIGHT

Critterchic,

You can work with a very experienced female homeopath, who is also
a homeopathic teacher and author- you can do it by phone. She is
in Santa Barbara, Google Mary Aspinwall and check out her page and
testimonials.

She also does Acute/sudden things for a $50 fee by phone with follow ups-
this is a hard to find service and great for anyone with kids.

Regards,

I want to thank everyone for their comments and help. It's been a while since I posted and yes, as warned, I tanked. Symptoms became not only worse but new ones appeared. My body became oversensitive to even the herbs I used to take just a year ago. My legs became affected. I stopped everything. It's been a month now. I went on a raw vegan diet and I detoxed like crazy. I thought my brain was going to push right out of my skull, but I stayed the course and I got through it to the better. I have been doing garlic extracts and the neuro symptoms like the vibrations came down a lot. I am stable at least that I can function. I would like any references to choose from for good homeopathics who are qualified. I live in Maryland and would be willing to travel within reasonable distances. Thank you all again.
 
Angelique 9 years ago
My offer to help is still on the table too. I would need to repost my questionnaire though, as I have given it a fairly significant overhaul.
 
Evocationer 9 years ago
Hi-

I found only one in Maryland that I think
would work. http://www.anthonyaurigemma-md.com

You need to see an experienced homeopath or MD homeopath. There
are some naturopaths who say they do
homeopathy but most of them don't
follow the rules and you have already
had enough of that experience.
 
simone717 9 years ago
Yes, I agree. Actually this is the best I have been in 6 mos once I stopped. E I sent you an email that you listed. I will in the meantime check out the refs offered. Thanks so much!
