Sameer please help Page 3 of 8
This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
I took the remedy on 13th May, 2009. Felt a kind of warmth within 30 mins, and started sweating a bit within 1 hour.
For the first two days, I could not sleep much but mind was active and alert and energy levels were high.
Restlessness was in control and I was able to work in office. I had courage to face people, and was also slightly high on confidence.
But then two days back as luck would have it, I ended up drinking Coke and then next day in the morning, in the elevator I found myself standing with a guy with a cup of black coffee in hand. I could smell the strong aromas coming from the coffee in the closed lift for about about 30 seconds. I don't know whether that has anti-doted the remedy but I have found increased restlessness the entire day in office, and I could not work much. In the evening, I had a feeling of BP going down again. But all this is very recent and I am not sure of anything. The other changes are holding on. Don't you think the best course would be to wait and watch.

What to Avoid While Under Homeopathic Treatment (downloaded from healthynet.com):
1. Coffee: This is the one substance which is most often responsible for homeopathic antidotion. Even one sip of coffee or a small amount of coffee ice cream, kahlua, or coffee bean candy may antidote a homeopathic remedy. It appears to be the oils in coffee rather than the caffeine alone which is the culprit. Although caffeinated tea is not a problem with homeopathy, strongly caffeinated substances like Zoom or No-doz should also be avoided as well as guarana and mate (caffeinated beverages from South America).
2. Electric blankets: They affect remedies by altering your body's electromagnetic field.
3. Aromatic substances: Avoid camphor, eucalyptus, menthol, and any products which contain them including Vick's, Noxema, Tiger Balm, Ben Gay, Calamine lotion, and cough drops and lozenges containing these substances. This includes menthol and other aromatic mouthwashes; and Vicco Ayurvedic toothpaste.
4. Citronella oil, pennyroyal, and other aromatic herbal mosquito repellants, all thuja and tea tree (melaleuca) products, peppermint oil, and lavender oil may antidote remedies due to their aromaticity. Chapstick, Blistex, and other aromatic lip balms should also be avoided. Strong fumes from oil-based paint, turpentine, paint thinner and certain household cleaning agents such as Pine Sol, Lysol, and strong-smelling industrial chemicals may also interfere with remedies.
5. Medications: Homeopathic medicines will not prevent prescription drugs from working, but prescription drugs may interfere with homeopathic remedies. These include antibiotics, cortisone, and antifungals, whether topical or oral. Consult with your practitioner about any drugs which you are taking. If you experience severe pain, aspirin or Tylenol usually do not interfere with homeopathic remedies.
6. Immunizations: Immunizations may interfere with remedies. Whether you take them or not is your personal choice, however you may want to discuss their effects with your practitioner.
7. Dental work: Homeopathic remedies are often antidoted by dental drilling and the use of novocaine. It is preferable, if possible, to wait at least three or four months after taking a remedy to have dental work done. In the case of emergency dental work, have it done and call your practitioner afterwards. In many cases, homeopathic remedies will relieve dental pain until you have a chance to visit your dentist.
8. Drugs: Avoid all recreational drugs including marijuana, cocaine, LSD, barbituates, amphetamines and prescription pain medications. Alcohol in moderation will not interfere with homeopathic remedies.
9. Other homeopathic remedies: Do not use Bach Flower remedies, cell salts, or other homeopathic remedies without discussing them with your homeopath first.
10. Herbs: Check with your homeopath before using herbs for specific medicinal purposes while you are under homeopathic treatment. Herb teas for beverage use, when varied from day, to day are fine as are culinary herbs. Chinese herbs and moxa may antidote remedies. If you've been given Natrum muriaticum, you will be advised to avoid peppermint in all forms, including tea. The remedy Sulphur may be antidoted by chamomile tea and Sepia by vinegar.
11. Vitamins: Let your homeopath know which vitamins you are taking. Taking a particular vitamin to eliminate a particular symptom may make it difficult for your homeopath to evaluate your symptoms. Multivitamins and minerals do not disturb homeopathic treatment.
12. Beauty treatments: Permanent waves often antidote remedies because of the harsh and aromatic chemicals. Some skin products and facial treatments will antidote remedies if they contain aromatic substances.
13. Other therapies: Acupuncture and therapeutic ultrasound have been found to often antidote homeopathic treatment. Some homeopaths have found certain forms of bodywork, including shiatsu and rolfing, to antidote their patients' remedies in some cases.

Status:
Motions: OK
Low BP: OK
Eczema: Better
right sided sciatica: Worse
Restlessness: Fluctuating
Mood: Fluctuating
Motivation: Fluctuating
Energy Levels: Fluctuating
Hunger pangs: Same
Confidence: Fluctuating
Sleep: Less
Sameer the benefits I got in the first 3-4 days of taking Lyco 1000 reduced after a possible anti-doting with
(1) Aromas of black coffee
(2) Extremely strong smell of traditional Shoe Polish.
The above happened on the same morning, one after the other.
But still the motions became better a few days after the probably anti-doting.
Sameer should I order Lyco in higher potency from Helios as potencies higher than 1M (and also LM/CM) are not available at the place where I live. The medicine will also take time to arrive. I can order two medicines simultaneously - for example, Lyco 10M and LM1.
If you ask me, I feel I still need Lyco some more before a switch to some other remedy, perhaps in LM potency. It has benefited me a lot.
Thank you so much for your time.

Dear Sameer,
There has been progressive deterioration in physical symptoms with the exception of Low BO and Motions where the progress made is holding on.
Certain kind of smallish itchy boils have reappeared on my hips. They were cured by homeopathic treatment 12-13 years back.
My memory has gone from bad to worse. These days I am forgetting things one day old and sometimes even few hours old.
I am not able to sleep well but when I do I find myself mentally happy.

'Certain kind of smallish itchy boils have reappeared on my hips. They were cured by homeopathic treatment 12-13 years back. '
This is a good sign, please wait for 1 more week, as there might be some relief once this process is complete.

Sameer these boils have come up gradually 15-20 days back but I failed to observe, analyze and report to you in time.
When I did report to you, the itching and stinging was at its peak.
Now they are not itching much, only occasionally and but I doubt whether their size is reduced.
Mentally I am doing very badly. I am not able to concentrate and taking deep breaths. Energy levels are very low.
I am desperately waiting for you to start LM's so that I have some relief

Hello Sameer
Lycopodium LM1 has been quite a revelation. I was not able to sleep easily for many weeks but after taking it, I slept within 30 minutes. I felt a certain warmth inside, a certain kind of blissful calmness.
But more than that, I discovered that I was getting my motivation and that competitive streak back. Earlier I was giving up...
Restlessness was under some control and I was able to work in office. After a long time I have felt like I can do something in life and I am back to setting targets, all within these few days.
Of Lyco 30C, 200 & 1M, the most successful was 30C. And it only allowed me a few days easy sleep and few other things but not much. LM's are different. This was my first dose of LM ever.
I have a feeling from two or three things which I can't describe in words that LM1 has gone very very deep, and the most profound changes have been on the mental plane.
Details:
Day 1: Early Sleep, better motivation and drive. Perfect motions. Hint of Low BP twice in the day.
Day 2: Early Sleep, better motivation and drive. Perfect motions.
Day 3: Loose Motions with jelly like white and yellow discharge, gases. Took Hazmola.
Day 4: Delayed sleep, still felt better but restless returns, motions ok,
Day 5: Delayed sleep, felt a lot restless, motions ok, motivation intact but unable to focus much...

And itch boils are more or less gone but notice some redness on my neck and some wart like growth, just on the edge of shaving area from the last 2 weeks, again this is being reported late after observation. Sorry for that.

Please wait for 2 more days, and then take another dose as follows:
1) Give 8 sucussions to the Helios LM1 bottle, then wait for 2 minutes.
2) Take out 2 drops of LM1 in 250 ml spring water, stir and take a teaspoon from there ONCE. Throw the rest of 250 ml away.

I took the dose on Friday night (26th June). It has had a negligible effect except to unnecessarily increase my sexual desires.
Where it was expected to work - restlessness, motivation, energy levels,right side sciatica etc - it hasn't worked. I have been feeling very restless and my motivation has come down.
After the first dose, I had started studying again for my career, was doing better in office and was also doing the treadmill but second dose has been a disappointment.
The pain on right upper hip has increased a lot...
I am also abusing people a lot, not on their face, but at their back and seem to derive a lot of satisfaction from doing this. There is a tremendous feeling of jealousy for some people, and hatred for my father...
The Helios remedy bottle is so hard that it hurts my palm to give it hard hits, and I don't have any leather book at home. This time I used my palm to give it first 6 hits and then a book to give it next two hits.
I feel that I might need LM's a little more frequently.
Thanks a lot for your continuing guidance.
I have never seen anyone so young, all of 26-27, and yet so gifted with emotional maturity to match, a rare combination of a very high IQ and EQ, and empathy for the people.
It is no wonder that you topped Electrical Engg in IIT Delhi (remember seeing your name in Roll of honor).
God bless you Sameer!

Hello Sameer
Yes it was an aggravation and I did get better later but only for 2 days before feeling low again.
I remember I took the last dose with a slightly bigger teaspoon. This time I will use the standard size.
My motivation is extremely low. The first LM dose had worked well to give a fillip to my morale.
Now I again feel as if I am burnt out...
Please advise.
Thank you so much

After I reported that Low BP is cured, incidentally it has dipped twice in last week along with heart burn that happened once. I don't know whether it is final nail in the coffin or something else.
May be things will be clearer in a slightly longer run.
Overall energy was just average after this dose and restlessness was only just under control.
Please advise how I should take next dose.

I took Lycopodium LM1 on 20th but started Antibiotics for throat infection on 23rd July.
I was advised Augmentin 650mg for 5 days by doctor but I discontinued after 3 days, i.e. on 26th night.
After taking Lyco on 20th, I had an aggravation on the first day, my thoughts were negative and my mood, bad.
From the end of 2nd day, I started feeling slightly well but I had to start antibiotics soon.
Throughout the antibiotics course I was feeling energetic and buoyant.
Antibiotics had made my stool slightly hard and I expected it will again go soft once the course was over.
But to my surprise, it did become little soft but has more or less held on although it has been 4 days since I stopped antibiotics.
Throughout the period I was taking a strong antibiotic, I believe Lyco was working at a deeper level in the background as mood and energy levels were good.
It continued to be so until yesterday when I had a terrible bout of restlessness, more of a kind I used to have before starting Lyco. It subsided and I was kind of okay today but energy levels and moods are down.
What do you suggest Sameer?
