The ABC Homeopathy Forum

Dr. srivastava or AsadGhumman or first available to help.

I suffer from Crohn's and Depression. I also tried homeopathy self-prescribing before doing a lot of research on it.

I tried lyco then nat mur and it didn't help but I may have not done it right or given it enough time. I didn't put the pills in water the first time, I took them by mouth as it said on the bottle.

Yesterday I did Phos 6C in water but then I had coffee and I just found out it's an antidote?

I may have seen some improvement though. My acne was worse this morning, it's usually on my back but I had some on my face which I usually don't, and I didn't feel as cold as usual.

25 y/o male, single, 126 lb.s 5'11.75"

Crohn's for 11 years, depression closer to 8 after I took accutane in highschool was when I most noticed it but it went back before that, just not as bad.

My bowel habits are normally healthy but with frequent gas, but similar to Argentum I strongly crave sweets but they cause green liquid diarrhea with a strong odor.

Urine is usually clear but has strong yellow cloudiness from vitamins.

Always drinking, but not thirsty unless i'm having a reaction to food, then I get a really bad, unquenchable thirst. Foods like brown rice, high fructose corn syrup.

Experience low blood pressure, faintness when standing, trouble maintaining arousal.

I have an addiction to masturbating. Before it was out of need, now it's become habitual, there's no real drive or desire, it's medicative to my depression.

Frequently cold body temperature, can't tolerate air conditioning, preference for sunshine. Extreme heat is hard to tolerate but preferred to cold.

Poor night vision and photophobia. Strange vision problem with glowing, moving spark-like relics. Object silhouettes stay after looking away.

Bad skin condition including acne on face and back, frequent abscess / boil-like lesions on jawbones. Produce yellow or white pus when drained. In the past had them on groin, anus and arm pits but now just on face.

Redness and and itchiness of scalp with scabbed acne, but no hair loss. Medium-Light colored, very fine hair.

Gets easily agitated by hearing others chewing, clearing throat, picking teeth etc. Always in a rush.

Difficulty expressing emotions or bonding with others. Feels neediness and quickly becomes attached to a person but never truly bonds with them or opens up to them for fear of doing something that will scare them away.

Strong desire for company, strong drive to find companionship but with frequent heart break due to lack of success. It's become unhealthily obsessive. Fear being alone, having no one to talk to. Feel like I am too different to ever find like minded people. Feel like no one wants to talk with me so afraid to reach out to friends I haven't been in constant contact with.

After rejection by a woman want to run away from her / exclude her from my life, but won't out of a feeling of social obligation to be courteous, causes extreme conflict of emotions and stress.

Think this started with loss of friends after middle school and got worse in highschool due to drawn out experience with unrequitted love which has been hard to forget / leave behind.

Loss of both grandfathers had little impact on me. Felt like I should have been more emotional than I was. Very little if any grieving. Loss of cat however brought me to tears.

Can be extroverted / open and talkative in comfortable environment but generally shy in crowds and with new people.

Let those around me influence my personality strongly then feel lost when they are gone, heard this is similar to Phosphorous.

Talks openly about health problems, somewhat openly about mental state, but little about emotions. Rarely show or express emotion, never cry.

Sleep comes well, but wake feeling unrested after 8 hours. Very groggy in morning, takes a long time and coffee to wake up.

Strong addiction / desire for coffee. Started in middle school. Believe stimulant addiction may have played role in reducing ADD and enhancing academic performance. May be a link between coffee drinking and the change in my personality from one highly similar to Phos to one more like Nat Mur.

Strong addiction to video games, mostly multiplayer role playing games allowing me to escape reality, gives a sense of easy satisfaction and gratification not available in real life. Though I like to play games where other people are there I avoid interacting with them, I get uncomfortable talking to new people, afraid that they'll 'bother me' in the future and I will feel obligated out of politeness to continue being friendly to them.

Listens to music when depressed to make self feel worse, I heard this fits Nat Mur. When in depressed state other music is uninteresting or vexatious.

General apathy and lack of motivation. Trouble sticking to new projects. Easily distracted. Have trouble finishing things, food, games, TV series.

White, coated tongue with raised red acne-like bumps in middle / back.

Loss of taste, reduced smell. Used to have frequent dryness and crustiness in nose with frequent clear discharge, has reduced recently. Still some dryness with clear crust.

Eyes always feel gummy, like there's mucus in them, but not dry.

Work in advertising, but not whappy with work. Would prefer something socially active with more people, more sunshine, more mental stimulation. Maybe helping people or sales.

Adverse reactions to:
wheat, canola oil, nuts, shellfish, pepper and spicy foods, too much sugar, alcohol, chocolate, apples, peppers (fruit), potatoes

Current medications / therapies:
No allopathic treatment.
Strict diet used to manage symptoms.
High dose multivitamin, taking tyrosine and 5-htp for depression.
Low dose borax in water.
L-cysteine, fish oil, bee propolis, l-glutamine

In the past I was on immune suppressants and for some time corticosteroids. Have been on multiple antibiotics for skin infections.

Have obsessive drive to find remedy, has become focal point of life, talks at length with others about it.

As a child I was average wait, outspoken, vivacious. I often spoke without thinking and got into trouble. I would talk to everyone without reservation, however I was a slow learner, highly imaginative. Had trouble reading, trouble with math, trouble with social cues.

Got angry or emotional easily and wasn't afraid to cry, yell, get mad, throw tantrums.

As I got older I became more academic but more socially introverted. In 4th-6th grade my extravagant behavior caused me to be shunned by my peers and I withdrew from them, became over analytical of my actions, my behavior, my thoughts.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
email me a picture of your hand nails.
 
fitness 8 years ago
sorry but could someone else please help? I don't have the means for a paid consult with fitness at this time.
 
instantcoffee 8 years ago
HI-

If fitness treats you on the forum it is free.

If you email him an image of your nails, that does
not mean he is going to charge you-as long as your
case is on here, always free.

Fitness? do you want to take this case?

Fitness- I have received several
emails from people that think, at some point on here
you are going to ask for a fee, so they think they
cannot ask for you or have you take their case.fyi.
 
simone717 8 years ago
I am surprised, I have clearly mentioned in my profile that I offer paid consult on my site and cases are handled free on the forum.

Maybe I need a suggestion on how to clarify it further.

Instantcoffee's case is not suitable for forum setting so my apology for that.
 
fitness 8 years ago
Ok Instant Coffee,

Wait for Asad or Anuj, and see what they say about taking
your case.
 
simone717 8 years ago
I'm sorry, it is a bit confusing though. I did check the Remedy Finder and it told me phosphorous though so I'm trying to acute treatment for my acne.

You referred me to a series of links, the first one was broken, the other suggested using your site for paid consult. It seemed like an advertisement.

instantcoffee 8 years ago
Hi, since i m unavailable till 17th august & if anuj does takes this case by then, then u may continue with him.
 
AsadGhumman 8 years ago
Else i will go through the details on 17th & will see what i can do for u
 
AsadGhumman 8 years ago
I appreciate your offer.
I thought I should include - I tried quitting coffee so that it will not antidote a therapy, but when I don't have coffee I get terrible burning in my stomach and awful withdrawal headaches.

I think my stomach relies on coffee for the acidity now.

I tried nux vom 30c as it is suggested for caffeine withdrawal headaches but it didn't help. I had to drink caffeinated coffee to get rid out it.
 
instantcoffee 8 years ago
Please take ONLY 1 single dose of Tuberculinum-1000c & report after 5 days.

1 dose = 1 drop of remedy in quarter cup of water just before going to bed & at least 30min after taking food.
 
AsadGhumman 8 years ago
Thank you for your response, unfortunately I cannot find tuberculinum in 1000c in any online store I've checked.

I can only find it from Boiron available as:
Pellets, 8X, 12X, 30X, 4C, 6C, 8C, 12C, 30C, 200C, 1M, 10M,

Liquid Dilutions, 8X, 12X, 30X, 4C, 6C, 8C, 12C, 30C, 200C, 1M, 10M, 30ml, 60ml, 1 litre.

Is it possible to take a different potency and dilute it at home to get the same effect?
 
instantcoffee 8 years ago
1M and 1000c are the same potency.
 
simone717 8 years ago
Okay thanks, that clarifies things a lot.

Should I stop coffee with this remedy?
What about my other non-homeopathic remedies? (borax, fulvic acid, baking soda, butyric acid)?
 
instantcoffee 8 years ago
Thanx simone

Please do not take coffee for at least 3 days after taking tuberculinum.
 
AsadGhumman 8 years ago
Also please stop using all other medicines that u r currently taking. However, you may continue taking allopthic medicin
 
AsadGhumman 8 years ago
It's been 5 days now.

I initially had really bad withdrawals from the caffeine, I ended up sleeping a lot and having bad headaches for the first 3 days.

I've gained a little weight and my psychological well being seems to be slightly improved. I don't feel cold quite as easily.

Most of my other symptoms persist.

I'm still having painful, foul-smelling gas after meals.

Tickle in throat with some random pains in chest / back I associate with the bloating.

Also strange pains inside my jaw / throat area.

Faintness when I rise from sitting.

The boil/abscess on my face has gotten worse, possibly from discontinuing my other supplements.

Acne on back, neck, scalp and lower part of face persists.

I've also had a worsening of constipation, instead of just delayed bowel movements they're now hard and only come out a little at a time in small balls.

I've had some strange, vivid dreams of monsters. Some nights I'm fighting them and winning and others I'm running and hiding from them.

Hi,

Please get hold of the following remedies:

1- Chelidonium-30c
2- Berberis Vulgaris-Q
 
AsadGhumman 8 years ago
It's very hard to find labeled Q potencies online, is this interchangeable with 50M or is that very different?
 
instantcoffee 8 years ago
Both are very different. OK you can drop Berberis Vulgaris-Q & look for Carddu Marrianus-Q. And even if you can't find that as well, still Chelidonium can almost serve the purpose.
 
AsadGhumman 8 years ago
Thank you, I will try the Chelidonium. Unfortunately many remedies are not available in the US, I may have to see a local homeopathic doctor in order to get them.
 
instantcoffee 8 years ago
Hi Instant Coffee,

Just go to the top of this site, Remedies Shop button. Most
all remedies are on here from 3 suppliers.

Q potency is the Mother tincture, and in India/Pakistan they
use those a lot but not in the Usa.

Asad- Usa has lowest potency of these things in
like 3x or 4x- he could purchase that in liquid. I don't think
3x or 4x is going to be that much different.

If you have usa patients it is good to check the remedy shop
for a minute to see what is available here.

Of course one could order Q from Helios Homeopathic Pharm
in the UK- but that takes two weeks to get here.

And Instant Coffee, you could call up Hahnemann pharmacy
in Northern California and tell them you have a overseas
homeopath that wants you to get Q- They don't list Q
but they can do Q-might be expensive though.
 
simone717 8 years ago
Thanks Simone, i will consider this for future overseas patients.

Instantcoffee:

Please drop both Berberis & Carduus Marrianus-Q & use only chelidonium-30c at the moment.
 
AsadGhumman 8 years ago
I got the chelidonium 30c, how should i take it?
 
instantcoffee 8 years ago
Please take Chelidonium-30c twice daily for 5 days & report.

1 dose = 2 drops in quarter cup of water, taken 30min before or 30min after taking food.
 
AsadGhumman 8 years ago
I have the pills do I take 2?
