Dear Anna,
Since you already have Gelsemium 200, you can use it in the same way as i suggested for the LM1.That is make the solution of the remedy, dilute and stir the solution across 3 cups and then take 1 teaspoonfull from the 3rd cup.Throw the remaining water from all the 3 cups.But in this case, instead of taking one dose everyday, take just one dose and then report to me after 3-4 days as to what happened after that.That is how you have responded to that dose physically as well as mentally.

Dear Rajiv
Good job done.
Also my request is: do dissect how you arrived to the conclusion of sycotic miasm and how you arrived to the remedy in simple terms. One of the main reason people go astray is these things are shroudded in mystery. When you clarify things I hope many budding homeopaths will try to emulate this kind of case taking.

Hmm, I missed that part, but I would agree, almost certainly Sycosis from the indications.
Is this thesis on Miasmatic disease Rajiv?

Dear Jacob,
Coming from a homeopath who is writing a book on miasms, it is a very humbling compliment.I intend to learn a lot from you once your book is published.Now, don't wriggle out of this one as i now i treat you as a personal friend. I WOULD LIKE YOU TO GIFT ME A COMPLIMENTARY COPY OF YOUR BOOK ON MIASMS.
I hope you won't mind my taking this liberty with you.
With warm regards.

Haha, not at all Rajiv, you are one of the few Homoeopaths who I actually respect (Murthy being another), and I am sure this could be arranged ;)
In fact, providing there is some good revenue from sales over here in the west, which I am pretty confident there will be, and therefore we can afford to do so, I intend to supply free copies (or at worst copies at a VERY much reduced price), to Homoeopaths working in some of the less developed and poorer parts of the world, such as some regions of India, and Africa etc.
If I may ask too, what is your thesis on?

Dear Rajiv,
Thankyou, I will take the Gelsemium 200C (liquid) - and prepare it in the way you described - today(Tuesday), so I will report back Friday/Saturday.
I want to let you know that I am VERY GRATEFUL for the time you have taken to help me (especially now that I find that you are in the middle of a thesis!) You have taken all this time to help a person you do not even know, and I really appreciate that you have.
Good luck with your thesis, I will report back in a few days to let you know how I have gone.

Hi, I have just taken a dose of the gelsemium 200C. I added 7 drops of the liquid to a 500ml bottle, and followed Rajiv's instructions and took one teaspoon from the third cup.

Dear Anna,Maheeru,Mr.Murthy, Jacob,Pankaj,Kuldeep,Joe,Walkin and all other friends on this forum,
I love you all!!
My heart really craves for the day when we can all love each other just because we are human beings and that itself is enough to command respect and love.It doesn't matter if we differ in our viewpoints or if someone has not read the Organon or The Chronic Disease.He/she can always read it.It doesn't matter if someone is poor or uneducated or rich or powerful.The same God dwells in all.
Dear Jacob,
The title of my thesis is 'Generating Happiness at the Workplace for Optimal Performance'.The brief synopsis is as follows.It has three parts to it.The first part hypothesizes that happier leaders are the people who are contented on all the four dimensions of life, physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.In this schema, the physical dimension is the lowest dimension which man shares with animals, while emotional and mental dimensions are in the middle and the spiritual dimension is the highest.A person who has transcended the level of his narrow self interests and has concerns for the entire community has been defined as spiritual in my work.So, the happier leaders are more contented even spiritually.
Such leaders follow a very wise,kind and compassionate leadership style which helps generate a happier work team.The happier work teams develop into more cohesive and motivated work teams which causes them to produce superior performance in their designated work.The members of such work teams also display a greater Satisfaction with Life.
I hope i have not bored you and thanks for reading through this.

Hi,
After three days of taking the Gelsemium 200C (for preparation see above) I have not noticed any changes either physically or mentally. Perhaps I should take another dose? I just want to point out that the anxiety/apprehension is just as bad after a situation because I ruminate over it, and worry and get anxious about a situation after it has happened. I do get anxious during an intimidating situation as well.
Also, I have been reading about different remedies over the last few days, and came across Pulsatilla, which I identified with, especially the emotional/mental aspects. The 'female' symptoms also fit. Do you think my above symptoms (discussed in the last week) fit into a Pulsatilla picture? Tell me if I am getting it completely wrong, I obviously do not know very mcuh about homoeopathy. I'm learning though! (slowly!)
Thankyou, Anna.

I want to ask you about my sister's situation (I have it in a separate post but thought I might have more luck getting a reply here):
'My sister has a skin eruption that broke out last night. It started on her legs, has progressed down legs to feet and soles, arms and stomach. It is very itchy and is inflammed. It feels good to scratch, however this makes it even more itchy. It is worse for heat, much better for cold application, and is not so itchy. There is no bleeding. There are different sized spots all over, started out big and few but now are small but many more spread over the skin. It is very uncomfortable and feels the worst where it is warm - behind the knees and between the legs. The itching is is really bad.' And it does not seem to be getting any better. My sister has been taking Thuja 200C (one dose per week for the past few months) warts she gets on her hands (colourless, small) but has had no effect. I have told her to stop taking it.
If anyone could help, this would be great. Thanks, Anna.

Dear Anna,
I think 3 days are a very small time frame to judge the response to a remedy.Please wait for a few days more.Also, try to order Gelsemium LM1 from some website.For example, from Helios.
It is good to know that you think that Pulsatilla suits your mental/emotional symptoms.But i think one should not try to self diagnose as it is quite tough to tdentify one's remedy.An inexperienced person would not know what to look for.Also, the fact that Gelsemium is also a timid and yielding personality just as Pulsatilla may confuse.But, we will keep that information in mind.
If you think getting Gelsemium LM1 is a bit difficult, try to get it in the 1M and 10M otencies.
Rajiv

Hi Rajiv,
I ordered the Gelsemium LM1 and received it today. It is in liquid form. I would like to know how many drops I should put in to the bottle of water, before I disperse it into the cups? Is seven drops a standard dose? I just want to make sure I'm doing it right!
Also, when you have time, could you let me know more about when I should feel/see changes? How long should treatment last? Do you believe Gelsemium is my constitutional remedy? Only reply to these questions if you have the time to, no pressure.
Thankyou, Anna.

Dear Anna,
I don't know how you got this idea of 7 drops.I always ask a patient to use 1 drop or 2 drops at the most.
But with LM potency remedies, it is important to take the least quantity of the medicine as we want to avoid aggravations as much as we can.
So, use only 1 drop (one drop) of the medicine.Add it to 600 ml of clean water in a bottle.Close the bottle with a cap.Then shake the bottle 10 times.Take 1 teaspoonful from this bottle as a dose.Take this remedy once everyday early in the morning after cleaning your mouth and tongue.Do not use toothpaste to clean your mouth.Just use plain water and your fingers.
Before everytime you take the remedy, shake the bottle very hard 10 times by banging it against your palm.Bring the bottle down from a height of about 2 feet to strike it hard against your palm.Do it 10 times before each dose and then take 1 teaspoonful.
LM potencies are very fast and hence you will start feeling the mental changes within a week or so.Report to me after a few days to a week of starting the remedy.Gelsemium seems to be the most indicated remedy from th esymptoms that you gave.
I hope all the instructions are clear.

Hi, thanks for your instructions, just one more clarification (promise!)
Once I have made the remedy up in the bottle, can I take a teaspoonful from the same bottle each day, or do I need to make up a fresh bottle everyday?
Thanks, Anna.

Dear Anna,
What about your anxiety problems before public speaking, important occasions etc.?Do you still feel as intimidated as before starting Gelsemium while meeting people or is there even a marginal improvement?What about the 'trembling with anxiety' symptom?The frequent urination at night with anxiety.Is it the same?
Then the physical symptoms.Can you give a brief summary.
Also are you a relatively thirstless person or feel thirsty as normal people?Or even more thirsty than normal.
If Gelsemium has not worked, we will try something else.Don't give up yet.

Hi Rajiv,
I still feel the same anxiety when I'm around people and before having to speak, etc. I really haven't seen any improvement in my emotional state in any kind of aspect, not just the anxiety. Physically, I still tremble when especially anxious (I must say that this is during and after a situation, not before), and still get loose stool (and butterflies in stomach) in anticipation of a situation and also feel I need to urinate more when anxious about an event. My skin is the same, everything is the same as it was.
About the thirst: I am often dehydrated but I don't really have any thirst. I find drinking room-temperature water doesn't hydrate me, whereas I can have a small amount of cold water (a sip or two)and feel satisfied. To summarise: I am more of a thirstless person.
Rajiv, I would like your opinion on something: As I mentioned in my first few posts, I have been given different remedies (from naturopaths) for my constitution and skin/emotions over the last couple of years(Nat mr, Mag mur, Silica, CALC FLUOR, and more), and I have not seen changes at all after any of these remedies. I hear anecdotally from other people who have taken remedies and they report remarkable changes and improvements. Are some people more responsive to homeopathics or should the remedies work the same on everybody as long as the remedy is correct?
Thanks Rajiv,
Anna.
