1)Pulsatilla2)Calcarea Carb- Respected David, please suggest

Hello Dr. David,
After experimenting with remedies and seeing their effect on me, my core remedy is pulsatilla.

Since I am finally clear on my remedy, I request you to help me with dosage.
In order to guide me about dosage, please let me know, what all inputs are required from my end.
Regards

Honey

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
I have reconsidered how to help you here. I am going to repost my answer later (deleted original post).

Dear Honey-

As I remember you have taken Pulsatilla quite a lot and
in different potencies ( have seen your posts on other
forums)

You should let David know the history of what you have
taken, potency and so on over the last few years.

Yes that is very important. I would be surprised if you have tried Pulsatilla in various potencies and still needed it.

The potencies, dosage, and reactions would be important too, and possibly a timeline as much as you can do that.
 
Evocationer 9 years ago
Sure Simone .:)

Doc. David

Here are the details:
All this while you have been away after accident, I have really not tried taking help from other homeopath's, may be I dn't feel like.
I tried remedies my self by taking inputs from Respected Udaya from other forum,but I must confess, i have trust factor only on you.


So to answer:::

I would be surprised if you have tried Pulsatilla in various potencies and still needed it. :::::

Answer to this might be::
Probably I might have been proving or anti doting the remedy(pulsa) by trying other different remedies myself there by never letting it to work completely.

I have tried pulsatilla 30 ,200 and 1M(I do not remember)

I was working very good with pulsatilla 30 and 200.
But then I think its over dose of this remedy did proving and thus made me feel that I am not pulsatilla and rather some other remedy which is very close to pulsatilla.

On exploring this further(remedy close to pulsa) I found Nat mur, and tried that.
Though I was not nat mur , but proving of nat mur helped me in judging what I am by injecting its features.

So Pulsa 30 and 200 are the potnecies that I have tried.(this is what I am able to recall). This might have happened 3-4 times(for potency 30) and 1-2 times(for potency 200) and if 1M then it MUST be once.

Without knowing if Pulsatilla is actually suitable to your disease, I would suggest using Puls 0/1 (LM1), and taking daily doses until a reaction (aggravation) occurs when you would then stop and reassess the case.
 
Evocationer 9 years ago
I would rather like to be on same page with you, before I start with remedy.For that please let me know,if i need to fill the common template or you want me to fill some other form /share details.
Kindly suggest

Honey- awhile ago you wrote you were
not having any real symptoms of
anything.

So what are your symptoms now that
you feel you need a remedy?
 
simone717 9 years ago
At that time, I was not sure about my core remedy.Either it was pulsatilla or nat mur.
Once I have tried both and seen the effect, i have concluded I am pulsatilla.
Now that i am clear with core remedy,I JUST want proper dosage .I do not know, how do take this remedy for complete cure.
 
HoneyKhanna 9 years ago
What is left that needs cure-

Please state that.
 
simone717 9 years ago
The problem I have, is that without proper exploration, analysis and management of the case, I don't know how to make any suggestion to cure you. What symptoms did you prescribe on? What weight did you attach to which symptoms? What specific reactions occurred on each potency, and at the different times those potencies were used? What symptoms are showing that require cure? What was the 'core' and how has it changed since using the remedy? What direction are the changes moving in?

I feel like you are wanting me to walk in to this case blindfolded, and then throw a dart into the centre of the board.

If a patient comes to my clinic either wanting me to take over their case, OR they are coming back to me after years in the middle of some other treatment (as you are doing), I would still need to go through my normal case-taking process or I will just be guessing.

If I don't agree with the prescription I won't be happy to suggest any dosage or potency of Pulsatilla - I could not ethically do that. What do we do then?

I don't want to give you a hard time over it - I just feel like the roles we have taken here are very ambiguous to me. Who is treating?

At the very least, I need to know the following. This is what I may do with a student or new homoeopath looking for my guidance around one of their patients:

What specific symptoms lead you to Pulsatialla?

What rubrics did you use to represent those symptoms?

What symptoms have been cured by the remedy?

What symptoms have not been cured?

What symptoms have improved?

What symptoms have worsened?

Have any new symptoms appeared?

When was each dose/potency given, and what was the result for each dose?

These are the questions I ask myself when I look at making a subsequent prescription.

What specific symptoms lead you to Pulsatialla?

As mentioned before,I was confused between nat mur and pulsatilla.
How ever when i tried both remedies, I have found that I have more strong emotional side rather than intellectual one.
When I was on nat mur, I became more intellectual and started using my brain for those things as well, for which before I used to use oly my heart.

eg if i like some cloth, which even if doe not fit me, i will make myself understand that soon ill reduce to be inside this piece of cloth.
after nat mur, this changed .

there are few more changes on mental level.Above is one of the example's i remember.

physical's:

when i took pulsatilla, every thing was perfect physically:
body became fit
no pimple's
no eczema.

after nat mur, i see eczema coming back
black spots are not vanishing
weight increase



What rubrics did you use to represent those symptoms?
same as mentioned above.

What symptoms have been cured by the remedy?
with pulsatilla everything got cured
no consipation
no weight gain
how ever only negative feature that got induced was my brain which used to take long time for doing any work , beacuse of no interest in reading, became more lazy .This happened after 1M.How ever i think that could have been an aggravation.

What symptoms have not been cured?
After pulsa : all were cured.
after nat mur:
i see weight gain, stubbornness, anger(i would never get angry on anybody though i might feel bad)


What symptoms have improved?

N.A.
What symptoms have worsened?
N.A.

Unfortunately I cannot use that information. What symptoms did you use? What were the rubrics? How did each one change after the remedy?

If you were in perfect health after Pulsatilla, just go back and repeat whatever dose or potency did that. This seems to me to be the logical step.

Otherwise, there is little here for me to use for making an assessment.

Btw, Nat-mur is an extremely emotional remedy - in a different way to Pulsatilla, but no less so. In fact one could argue the emotions run much deeper in Nat-mur.
 
Evocationer 9 years ago
I can confirm on this , that I have superficial emotions which run to surface.


Can you help me in understanding the different way you mentioned in the line below:

'Btw, Nat-mur is an extremely emotional remedy - in a different way to Pulsatilla'

I have also read that pulsatilla might get converted to nat mur. can this happen or core remedy remains same ALWAYS?
[message edited by HoneyKhanna on Tue, 18 Nov 2014 10:00:06 GMT]
 
HoneyKhanna 9 years ago
The core cannot remain the same. Remedies cure. If there is no change to the central state, then there is no cure. As the central state changes, so does the remedy needed, if any remedy is then needed at all. Nobody should stay in the same state if the remedy is the right one, although the time for this change to take place fully will be variable.

I haven't seen someone need both remedies - this doesn't mean it isn't possible. Any person could potentially express any remedy state.

The whole state of Nat-mur and Puls is different, both highly emotional, but they express them differently, perceive things differently, have different motivations. One has to dig deep enough to pull the important, central issues out and see if they match those of the remedy. On the surface, any person can look like any remedy, even many remedies.
 
Evocationer 9 years ago
ok.I will try pulsatilla again and will report back

So does that mean at any stage,remedies will always be required ?


Keeping in mind tht my remedy is pulsatilla, i have taken a dose of pulsatilla 1M.
I will update you with status.

It really depends on what kind of reaction and progress you are getting. A well chosen, deep acting simillimum (perfectly similar remedy) may instigate a cascade effect that causes multiple phases of change. While movement is forward moving and upward towards health, you may do nothing, even if the apparent state of the patient has changed.

The better the selection of the remedy, the less of it the person needs. When I have seen a perfect simillimum prescribed, the patient may not need another dose or remedy for many years. The longest I have seen (in a patient who returned to me) was 10 years.
 
Evocationer 9 years ago
Interesting.May i know the potency you gave to this patient. Also what can happen if pulsatilla 30 and pulsatilla 1M are taken together.what i have read from that I understand lower potencies work on physicals n higher on mentals.is this actually the case
[message edited by HoneyKhanna on Thu, 20 Nov 2014 04:49:32 GMT]
 
HoneyKhanna 9 years ago
I believe the potency was 200c for that patient.

Do not mix potencies. That is as bad as mixing remedies. Each one like a separate remedy.

Potency is not as simple as that. Low potencies work quite well on mentals, as high work quite well on physicals. You are matching the potency to the patient, to their vital force, not to their individual symptoms. Where those symptoms are manifesting is not the guide for potency selection.
 
Evocationer 9 years ago
alright.As if now I am sure I am pulsatilla.
Now nest step is to have clarity with respect to potency.How can I be sure about that.Any guide map? and is this possible that if 1M does not work then 30 c might work successfully or vice versa?
 
HoneyKhanna 9 years ago
No map, just as reaction to a remedy determines how suitable the remedy is, reaction to a potency determines how suitable the potency is.

Potency is very difficult to learn as a rote thing - experience teaches us how to select potency. Starting low and moving upwards is the safest thing for novice prescribers.

All prescribing, whether it is remedy, potency, or dosage, is done on the basis of observation and analysis. Nobody reacts the same way, so each person needs to be watched to see how they respond.
 
Evocationer 9 years ago
alright.
Thank you for your inputs.
 
HoneyKhanna 9 years ago
A few observations after pulsatilla 1M:

I am feeling more sleepy.Sleepy even after having 8 hours sleep.
Eczema on chin , has started drying out.
weight after nat mur increased horribly..10+kg.How ever as if now I am eating only butter.
