how does joeapathy work? _{Page 2 of 4}

Yes, that's right.

I want to make sure we haven't simply missed giving enough doses or strong enough doses before moving on to a new remedy, as it can be quite difficult going back to a remedy that looked like it didn't work.

So there has been no change at all in repeating the remedy?

Alright. Let's move to my other choice - Mercurius 30c. Take 3 doses just as you did with the Nat-mur and let me know of any changes.

I usually dispense new bottles always, but have many times in the past boiled and steralized old bottles to use again, with no apparent issues.

I don't imagine there will be a bad effect from the way I am dosing you - it is done the way I do it to keep you safe.

Your case was a complex one. I don't usually have so much trouble deciding between remedies. I will attempt to keep you safe on those remedies we try, until we find the perfect one.

So no aggravation or other negative effect either? Interesting.

Ok repeat the Merc 30 each day for no more than 5 days. Again the normal rule is to stop if anything noticeably worsens.

I will be checking the forum over the holiday period so I will continue to monitor your situation and I we can look at reassessing should Merc also give no positive results.

Ok - yes you are probably right, I would have expected some kind of reaction. It is strange to get nothing at all though, even from the wrong remedy.

Where did you obtain your remedies from?

How do you know they are reputable? Do you know where they source their medicines from? Or do they make them on site?

Source of the medicines can be an obstacle, if they are coming from somewhere that is not meticulous in following our guidelines for preparation.

Ok great, at least I know they follow the basic guidelines for manufacturing.

I am going to go back through everything carefully to make another prescription. I will use my homoeopathic computer software to spread my net as far as possible to find a better remedy for you.

Alright, I have carefully looked over the case again. I went through each symptom, compared all the remedies noted for them, and then thought a bit more about the overall picture of the case.

The remedy that really comes to my mind is Pulsatilla, which is also a remedy that I considered the first time around (but dismissed I think inappropriately).

What I did this time was look at the basic feelings in your life, in regards to your sister, and family:

Harassed
Persecuted
Jealousy
Indignation
Resentment
Deceit
Offended easily
Suspicious
Duty (neglected, conscious of)


Pulsatilla features in all of these. From a Sensation point of view (an advanced method of analysing cases), looking at the plant family to which Puls belongs, the themes are:

Annoyed
Harassed
Insulted
Morbid sensitivity
Sensitive to trifles
Shocked
Vexed
Abused
Affront
Outburst
Rudeness
Slight
Slur
Touchy
Bothered
Bullied
Irked
Offended

Pulsatilla is the sycotic member of this family, which is to say they react to these feelings by hiding them or avoiding them, usually under a pleasing, yielding exterior (happy face).

I then looked at the general symptoms in the case to try and confirm if it would be a useful medicine for you:

Menses aggravates/after menses aggravates
Menopause, ailments from/during
Desires spicy
Desires salty
Desires cold drinks
Desires milk
Fasting aggravates
Ameliorated and desires cool weather
Sleeps with windows open even in cold weather
Aggravated by hot weather

Again, Pulsatilla was found in each of these symptoms.

Lastly, I looked at the physical symptoms themselves:

Involuntary urination from sneezing, coughing, any sudden shock
Unsatisfactory or incomplete urination
Involuntary or constant dribbling of urine
Dry mouth on waking
Headache extending into the eyes

This again, brought Pulsatilla up very strongly. So I think I dismissed this remedy too early, and if I look at the whole case, it really deserves a try.

Start with Puls30c and dose as you have with all the other remedies (3 doses to begin with).
