Confused symptom picture... could these strong modalities help?
I'm at a loss, and would like to try here:I have a lot different symptoms, maybe they are layers, but I can get caught in annoying 'loops' such as Merc Sol will help my headache but bring out extremely angry haemerrhoids that Ars Alb fixes so fast but then the headache comes, etc etc. Merc especially 'leaves me hanging'. It can be such a comfort to take, and I relate to it so strongly I do feel like it could be a simile, however whatever potency I take and no matter how much it helps, it is never *enough*. Subsequent doses do not help that. Waiting just thins out the effect more...
Anyway, I thought perhaps my modalities could help points me in the right direction? For example, I often feel drawn to remedies that left-sided, but I almost *never* have left-sided symptoms :S
Positive Modalities:
SUNSHINE. EXTREMELY so. I become a different person. In fact, so much so, I need to watch that I don't quite my job on a sunny day :D! I feel like all the darkness and sadness and fear that holds me back evaporates. I have strong OCD, especially about cleaning (I feel like bugs and dirt would violate me), but in warm, dry weather I can feel this get sooo much better.
I have a light therapy lamp. It helps, a bit. It's not the same though...
MUSIC. Seriously, medicinal. I have a few bands that I can 'hypnotize' myself with. I am very very sensitive to music, and I myself make music. And people tell me that they find my music 'healing'. I love that, because I use my music to heal myself in the first place :)
WATER. I *love* long showers or baths, and swimming in non-chlorinated pools (I react badly to chlorine). It is heaven. I need to drink ca. 2l of water a day, I get depressed if I drink less than 1l. I love rivers, creeks, lakes. I adore the sound of rain, running water.
BUT: I cannot stand humid weather, neither hot nor cold. I cannot stand damp clothing, be it sweat or rain. The first thing I do when I come home is rip my clothes off, have a shower, and put on very loose clothing. A runny nose or wet hands and no tissue in sight? So uncomfortable I feel *rage* welling up very quickly.
AND: I am *not* fond of the sea. I can feel a destructive 'pull' drawing at me at the open sea. There is something dark and lonely and swallowing about it. I have many nightmares about drowning. However, I know live in a sea side town and I have a sea view, and sometimes take trips to the beach, as here there are no mountains. And I am getting to make peace with it somehow...
FORESTS :) Plants calm me. I feel affinity with them. Gardens, Parks, single trees, wonderful. But I cannot keep a pot plant alive, no way :S
MOUNTAINS / ALTITUDES I love the feel of high altitude. I love the air, the view, I love the bird's nest thing. I want to live on the top floor of town houses.
BUT: I am scared of my *absence* of fear of heights. I don't have good coordination or balance, I can get dizzy, I really need to be careful about heights. But something in me deep down is still so stuck in my recurring childhood dreams that I can really fly! I need to actively remind myself to be careful on heights...
Apart from that I can also say: I love animals, often prefer them to us human mammals, I cry easily (also out of joy) and I do that laughing then switching to crying thing (Ignatia?) - have done since I was a child. I am not afraid of death whatsoever, but I don't want to spend the rest of my life slowly dying. But I am very philosophical and daydreamy, I talk *a lot* but get frustrated at not expressing myself good enough. When people cannot understand me, due to the phone line breaking up, or because we don't speak enough of each other's languages, I can get very very upset, and if someone is falling asleep in bed while I try talking to them, I feel this all-swallowing panic.
Dancing often helps me, stretching and motion.
My body tends to:
-Cramp. recurring migraine-like headaches, horrible menstruation cramps (only right at the start though...), leg cramps, twitches, spasms, nervous tension, writers cramp, basically give it a chance and it will cramp.
-Swell. Polyps and Haemmerhoids, or just swollen legs, feet, fingers, etc. Many things that have a mild sedative ation (such as valerian, hops, chamomille, mint, kava kava, roobush, even paracetamol!) have a diuretic effect on me, too! In turn, diuretics such as watermelon, have a sedative effect on me.
Bleed, lightly. Be that an ongoing light nosebleed that just won't heal, be that an ongoing spotting that doesn't turn period, be that bleeding haemmerhoids, or a throat that is psychosomatically swollen in panic because I have stage fright, and will start to get me to cough of little bits of blood. Also, the much more violent cystitis attacks I can get, that can get very bloody, with shredding tissue. My test vials have made more than one doctor shudder. Antibiotics clear it up, but it used to come back all the time. Now it does sometimes. Belladonna appears to have an effect.
-Disociate. My mind disociates. I react strongly to Snake remedies, such as Lachesis and Cench cont. Cench is much stronger in this effect: it will get my eyes to focus on sharp vision almost immediately. It is most fascinating how strongly it can do that. My sight problem is most definitely psychosomatical and also related to muscle tone, and concerns both loss of sharpness and loss of 3D / 'acceptance' of 3D in my brain. Meaning that if I concentrate I can make the 3D borders appear, as well as some sharpness. After a dose of Cench I can do this much easier and better. In general it feels like my brain sooner or later rejects this 'doll house reality' where everything is so 'laughingly limited' and has clear cut borders. In my mind, things flow together much more.
I CANNOT STAND CIGARETTE SMOKE. At all. It panics me, makes me angry, feel violated. I cannot stand it. I used to be much more exposed to it a few years ago, and I never liked it, but since I went onto a detox and removed myself from smoky environments I cannot stand further exposure at all. I breathe into a bag leaving my apartement, because our hallway is full of neighbour's smoke.
I am VERY sensitive to mold, I get allergic reactions quickly (like a cold, and over longterm exposure it triggers Chronic Fatigue epsisodes)
OK, that was a LONG text. And I haven't mentioned chocolate :D
Anyway, what problems have I got? Quickly:
Migraines with nausea and light sensitivity, and confusion, this is right-sided. Most things are right-sided, unless they affect my heart of course.
Heart beat feels weak often, a bit irregular. Panicky. EKG tests are fine.
Shortness of breaht. Depression. Anxiety. Frustration. Anger. Rage. Stomach problems, IBS. constipation, even with very soft stools. Recurring cystitis. Itchy dry skin (eczema?). Allergies to many household chemicals.
Start of menses is often traumatically heavy, with kidney pains, back pains, nausea & vomiting, dizzyness, feverishness, nightmares, extreme fatigue, panic, rage, cramps anywhere in the abdomen, bladder cramps and pains, urethral pain and cramps, etc. Suspected eneometrosis.
Oh, and cystoscopy showed nothing. STD checks always clear.
Mental confusion.
Chronic fatigue, especially after exposure to molds.
I'm a childhood abuse survivor. I am mixed race and androgynous. I'm probably a bit overweight, definitely not strong or fit enough. I had M.E. last year, possibly not for the first time.
Oh, and I am 31 if that matters. Dark hair and eyes, tan easily, put on muscle easily, 5 octave voice and I have a lot of facial hair, which I shave :D that's fine.
hope someone can help! I'm tired of getting prescribed things that look like they should work in the book, but don't do anything or never do anything beyond one does, which just puffs out. I'm talking about Staph (worked only once), Nat mur (never worked, was horrid), Merc Sol (what is going on there), Ars Alb (is it just working as a suppressant?), Sepia (oh God, that was horrid), even Carc (that *seemed* to be good. But either I took too much (LM) or it ran its course and I need something else.
Sorry this is long...

sorry! I mean to say I had Mono last year. Not M.E. Well... yknow I mentioned confusion and chronic fatigue, right? O_o lol

Okay so Carcinosin comes through very strongly , how many doses of this were taken , what were the potencies ?
sameervermani last decade
Hello Sameer, thank you very much :)
It was 1LM. I took it about five times in 1.5 weeks, but due to coffee it was antidoted either accidentally or intentionally, i.e. when a subsequent dose gave me a worsening that did not abate soon but progressively increased.
The good effect of Carc I noticed was that it gave me a stability and calm, plus it seemed that my ekzema like itchy skin (all over) was abating, too. General symptoms like sleep and digestion, seemed to get a lot better. It did not undo the vision-sharpening effect of Chench (taken at a 200C potency a few times, Cench has only that one effect on me, and it is reliable and seems to get along with anything), the way Merc 1LM did.
In specific I can feel a tightness in the middle of my chest, making my breath shallow and associated with tension, panic and lightheadeness. Like my IBS, this can be an undercurrent, gradually getting worse. I found the Carc. initially clearing this. However it has the last few times instead caused this or agrravated this. I could on occasion feel it 'closing up' from my throat down to the bottom of my lungs in distinct stages. I waited for this to pass, but it doesn't.
In general, I tried to use it to support the Merc 1LM that seems to be great, but then leaves me 'hanging'. However, looking back, I can usually say that I have attributed the problem-solving of migraine, nausea, tension in chest, traumatic dysmonnorhea and assoc. complaints, to the Merc LM.
What the Merc does not appear to be able to touch is the otherwise quite Merc seeming recurring tonsilitis / ottitis complaints. Instead I use a very low potency Bell (D6) which clears all this up, but has to be repeated frequently. In the process of this, it actually *gives* me the jumpiness, nightmares, 'childish fear of monsters' at night, slightly raised temeprature, flushed face etc. This all vanishes after a good rest. I'm considering using a different potency of Bell, but cannot see anything in the literature about it matching me at all. I am *not* a basically healthy individual who suddenly runs high fevers, etc. I almost never run real fevers.
Sorry, this is a bit much again :D but I had wanted to add a few points in any case. Hope this is OK.

Basically I am not someone who tends to experience much aggravation after remedies, so I have not come to expect them. I assume my Bell reaction could be an aggravation. But the horrible feelings I got after I once tried Nat Mur 30C many years ago, Sepia 1LM recently, or even a Ars Alb 30C dose in the past when I had recently had a Merc 30C (I seem to be able to continue on a 'cycle' of either, but they do not agree with each other, even if the last dose of the other is months and months ago) - these bad feelings to me feel like a disturbance of the natural force, not an aggravation. They do not get better, instead over time other factors may lessen them. Sometimes I have drunk a strong cup of coffee (I don't normally drink this, so it's an SOS remedy to me) against a headache / fatigue attack, and have felt a multitude of little complaints just 'wash away'. Then I know the coffee has antidote some 'excess' of homeo meds I had forgotten and was living with.
The Carc has recently felt *this* bad and therefore I am inclined to stay away from it, and not see it as simply aggravation, but as you can see I am not 100% used to the concept of aggravation in any case. I tend to be much more aware of my mental and emotional sides than physical, so as long as a remedy makes me feel better within myself, I may not register any physical worsening at all.- That may also explain it.

What was the size of the Carc LM1 remedy bottle ?
Do you know how many pellets were used to make the liquid ?
What was the dose size ?
How many succussions were given to the LM1 bottle before each dose ?

The remedy was not liquid, they are tablets. I took one tablet at a time, I didn't use them in water and so I didn't give any extra succussions to them.
I could try to take them in water, with extra succussion given, but do you think that Carc is still the way to go? I'm quite apprehensive of a remedy that at first shows relief in a number of symptoms, and then any time it is tried again to further relief, it instead gives lasting worsened symptoms...
But Dr. Sameer, it looks like you are *very* busy in this forum. I don't want to occupy even more of your time :) let me know if this is not a suitable complaint, I just wanted to try another avenue.
Thank you

Okay, here in lies the problem:
LMs are never EVER given without dissolving them in water.
LMs are never EVER given without giving sucussions to the remedy bottle before each dose.
If you keep on trying the same potency again, the correct medicine will always lead to a worsening of symptoms. The reason, LMs were built by Hahnemann was to modify the dynamization (potency) of each successive dose slightly through sucussions, so that the vital force receives the repetitions well. The vital force does not even receive a second (unmodified through sucussions) dose of the same potency well when the remedy is homeopathic and is the similimum.
And, do not take an LM without talking to someone who knows what they are doing, they are the most penetrating scale of potencies we have, and should be taken ONLY in the correct Hahnemannian way.
So, your next step should be to procure Carc LM2 granules or procure Carc LM2 in oral liquid form from Helios UK. Let me know which one is more convenient to you.
Once you have either of these, I can guide you through the dosage, and repetition.
And, I love to busy with cases :)

Hey! :)
thank you for your reply! Why are good homeopaths always such a joy to talk to :D
OK, I think your answer makes a lot of sense, although it is big news to me. I have been treated in the past by several homeopaths, and have never been asked to take LM in water. It sounds very cool though.
However, I cannot go on Carc now... I had to give in yesterday and get back onto my Merc and Bell cycle, due to disabling migraines and bad stress suppressed rage and panic making me sick in every way possible. I think I need to give any new remedy a fair chance and a clean slate to work with.
This is often my problem. I cannot stop taking my homeopathics that I am cycled into when things are bad, and it is when things are bad that I look for help...
I would have liked to see if my modalities fit any other remedy, especially as I have been told by a naturopath friend to try Ignatia, but I think it is left-sided as many other remedis I do actually somewhat respond to, are. And my symptoms simply NEVER are left-sided.
Or, secondarily, because the right side fails.
But this is right side all over. And that makes no sense, because right brain controls left side and vice versa... anyway, thank you for your wonderful work and help. I will need to see this cycle through first I think. Then I will let you know about Carc results!! For sure!!
Shukrya! Shukrya! Namaste!! ♥

Do not go on these cycles, as Merc and Bell do not AT ALL correspond to the totality of symptoms here.
Only the remedy which has the capability to produce the greatest number of similar symptoms will cure. That remedy is without a doubt Carcinosin. You will render your case incurable through too much repetition of Merc, I would caution against that.
Do not ever take LMs without water, that is a recipe for modifying the disease to such an extent that the symptom picture will give totally confusing clues.
As I said, I am willing to guide you through this process. Do not self prescribe LMs ever.

Thanks for the lovely concern. I talk a lot, way too much, so I did not list everything, just whatever I could think off. Merc gets rid of migraine, nausea, malaise, PMT, Dismonnorhea, and a bunch of other completely debilitating symptoms that no other remedy ever could. The equivalent would be the really bad painkiller route and it would not work well, and just subdue.
The Bell is the only remedey, homeo, naturopathic or allopathic combined, that has been able to set a stop to my recurring severe cystitis with susp. kidney infection, plus has been working out a range of ear and throat afflictions, It stops my rage attacks, too. The nightmares I get appear to be cathartic. I put up with the increase in paranoia, it passes.
Carc *should* work. I need to give it a chance at some point. I just wanted to explain. :) Shukrya

Well, if any homeopathic remedy needs to be repeated for long, and symptoms keep coming back, there is reason for it, and the reason needs to be addressed. When homeopathic remedies get rid of something, symptoms NEVER return the same. The relapses are much milder, and go away with a single dose of a higher potency. And, within months you should feel much BETTER. These are not pills that you keep taking whenever you feel the symptoms have come back. The key here is a cure which is gentle , quick and PERMANENT. So, your saying that 'Merc gets rid of migraine, nausea, malaise, PMT...' is not quite what we aim to do with homeopathy. We aim to cure in a complete manner. We are trying to find the similimum, and people don't realize just how similar the similimum is , as
when it comes to anti-miasmatics, this is virtually an exact match at all levels.
Bell is not the simillimum in this case (it never can be in any chronic case any ways as it is JUST an acute remedy), and will not be curative here.

Herein lies the crux: There are different schools of homeopathy. I have been treated well in different ways before. There is no absolute wrong or right in anything, there are suitable and unsuitable in different cases.
I agree that cycling ad nauseatum is no good.
Still,... I wish I could delete this post now. I thank you for your advice, and I am sorry to say that I cannot agree on doing this. I hope you don't feel you wasted too much time.

'There are different schools of homeopathy. I have been treated well in different ways before. There is no absolute wrong or right in anything, there are suitable and unsuitable in different cases. '
^^ Well that is YOUR opinion, but opinions do not have any place in science. Science is all about experimentally verifiable FACTS. The FACTS in homeopathy have been verified for almost 200 years now, and each and every thing laid down in the Organon by Hahnemann is just a FACT which can be verified by anyone who, is willing to experiment and has the conscientiousness required to do so.
The fact is that there is only one correct way to use homeopathy and that is to base it on three principles:
-Single medicine
-Similar medicine
-Minimum dose
But, anyways, I am not blaming you, as the fault lies with pseudo-homeopaths in your country for denigrating this wonderful science and implanting fault notions about it in people. So, in a sense it is sad, that the biggest danger to homeopathy are these so called 'homeopaths' who neither have the ability to find the simillimum and nor are they willing to make the effort to find one. Even when they are able to find it, they do not know how to dose.
So, good luck ! And, you did not waste any of my time. I love spreading the word about what true homeopathy :) , so this was time well spent.

As a child in a different country I had a very good, and very popular homeopathic doctor, who prescribed well and who healed many people. And did *not* dogmatically adhere to the principles you laid out.
As an adult I had the chance to once be treated by a world famous homeopath and naturopath. Unfortunately I cannot see him again. He did not prescribe like this either. He has helped countless people.
It is a great tragedy that people can sometimes only see one side of an multifacetted issue. I have seen much harm done by people who adhere to only 'classical' homeopathy and refused to change track even when their medicines did not bring relief.
I love homeopathy. But what I love about good homeopaths is the open-mindedness they have. It is such a joy to talk to them. It is the anti-thesis of the dogmatic allopathic, chemical drug obsessed world of medicine around us just now.
Anyway, if any admin sees this post, of course please delete all contents. I thoroughly regret posting here at all.
A good day to anyone who reads. ♥ to all who seek healing :)

To quickly clarify:
Homeopathic compounds / oligoplexes: I can attest these work well in the right cases.
Dry LM's:
I can attest these work well in the right cases.
The same potency, several times in a row:
I can attest that is correct in the right cases.
In fact: There is few things as cruel as someone who will give you one dose only and then NOT listen when you truly know this made you only worse. Antidote and run...

You say: '
Dry LM's:
I can attest these work well in the right cases. '
[SV]: Hmm.. that is once again a subjective opinion of yours (a layman) and not one agreed to by anyone who knows homeopathy, and who follows in the foot-steps of Hahnemann. LMs are exclusively meant to be given WITH sucussions and there is no other way to administer them but to alter the dynamization between successive doses.
Your attestation hardly matters here as you have not yet seen a complete cure of your problems.
I would trust the judgement of the old masters and their experience of having treated patients fully and permanently. 'Works well' is a very relative term. You do not realize what the effect of correct remedy given in a correct way is, and that is the reason you are satisfied with remedies 'working well' and not complete cure.
You say: 'The same potency, several times in a row:
I can attest that is correct in the right cases. '
[SV]: Hmm.. okay so now you are advocating something completely new and a thing which has been advised against by all the followers of Hahnemann, as once the body has responded to one potency of a well chosen remedy, the disease which is left is no longer homeopathic to the same potency. But I guess, the pseudo-homeopaths are not able to pick the right remedy, and then you can repeat as much as you want, the symptoms will keep coming back, and the best you can achieve with these 'cycles' is palliation which is what is happening in your own case.
I will quote Hanemann himself on this , he says
'Before proceeding, it is important to observe, that our vital principle cannot bear well that the same unchanged dose of medicine be given even twice in succession, much less more frequently to a patient. For by this the good effect of the former dose of medicine is either neutralized in part, or new symptoms proper to the medicine, symptoms which have never before been present in the disease appear, impeding the cure. Thus even a well selected homoeopathic medicine produces ill effects and attains its purpose imperfectly or not at all. Thence come the many contradictions of homoeopathic physicians with respect to the repetition of doses.'
You say: 'In fact: There is few things as cruel as someone who will give you one dose only and then NOT listen when you truly know this made you only worse. Antidote and run...'
[SV]: Yes, but only if their choice of medicine, POTENCY, SIZE of DOSE and method of administration was correct, all aggravations can be avoided. I don't blame you, it is the hubris and lack of conscience of the homeopaths in your country which has led to all these false notions about homeopathy.
However, as I said, this is science and it has no place for notions. Experimentally verifiable truths are all we need and we have them very well laid down by the old masters.

Dry LM's:
I can attest these work well in the right cases. '
[SV]: Hmm.. that is once again a subjective opinion of yours (a layman) and not one agreed to by anyone who knows homeopathy, and who follows in the foot-steps of Hahnemann. LMs are exclusively meant to be given WITH sucussions and there is no other way to administer them but to alter the dynamization between successive doses.
Your attestation hardly matters here as you have not yet seen a complete cure of your problems.
I would trust the judgement of the old masters and their experience of having treated patients fully and permanently. 'Works well' is a very relative term. You do not realize what the effect of correct remedy given in a correct way is, and that is the reason you are satisfied with remedies 'working well' and not complete cure.
You say: 'The same potency, several times in a row:
I can attest that is correct in the right cases. '
[SV]: Hmm.. okay so now you are advocating something completely new and a thing which has been advised against by all the followers of Hahnemann, as once the body has responded to one potency of a well chosen remedy, the disease which is left is no longer homeopathic to the same potency. But I guess, the pseudo-homeopaths are not able to pick the right remedy, and then you can repeat as much as you want, the symptoms will keep coming back, and the best you can achieve with these 'cycles' is palliation which is what is happening in your own case.
I will quote Hanemann himself on this , he says
'Before proceeding, it is important to observe, that our vital principle cannot bear well that the same unchanged dose of medicine be given even twice in succession, much less more frequently to a patient. For by this the good effect of the former dose of medicine is either neutralized in part, or new symptoms proper to the medicine, symptoms which have never before been present in the disease appear, impeding the cure. Thus even a well selected homoeopathic medicine produces ill effects and attains its purpose imperfectly or not at all. Thence come the many contradictions of homoeopathic physicians with respect to the repetition of doses.'

You say: 'Homeopathic compounds / oligoplexes: I can attest these work well in the right cases.'
As you are learning the subject yourself, I'd like to paste two aphorisms of the Organon concerned with the prescribing of the single remedy, which is one of the basic principles of our entire system, for your own future reference.
Organon aphorism §272
In the treatment of disease, only one SIMPLE medicinal substance should be used at a time.
Organon aphorism §273
It is impossible to conceive why there should be the least doubt as to whether it is more natural and rational to prescribe a single well-known medicine at a time for a disease, or to give a mixture composed of several different medicines.
Hahnemann goes onto say that there are certain precedents when this is somewhat acceptable but these are extremely rare situations, such as when a remedy to fit the totally simply does not yet exist (which in his day was again a rare situation, especially toward the end of his lifetime, but these days is virtually unheard of). It could be argued that your situation is perhaps somewhat different to those under which two remedies (or even more) are routinely given 'together' today, in that it does maybe require both an acute and chronic remedy to achieve the speediest and most complete cure, but even where such situations as this do exist, Hahnemann states it is far better to give the two remedies in sequence or in alternation, however close together this may be, than as a combination, and I would be inclined to agree. This is really cutting into the nitty gritty of the exceptions to the rule here though, and one may see only a few such situations in a lifetime, so as a general rule of thumb, and in 98% of situations, only one single remedy should be given at a time.
Unfortunately, a lot of 'modern prescribers' choose to disregard this basic rule completely, and consequently it has become the norm to prescribe as many remedies as the practitioner mistakenly thinks are needed at the same time in many countries throughout the world, particularly in parts of Europe such as France, and in most parts of India, because this is the easiest method of prescribing, and requires little knowledge, effort, or powers of observation on the part of the prescriber. The effects though will never be the same as the single well chosen remedy based upon totality, and yes, this method also frequently causes great problems to the patient in the long term.
We call this method 'mongrel' Homoeopathy, and it's use was greatly denounced and vehemently opposed by Hahnemann, as has been the case by practically every other knowledgable Homoeopath ever since.

Great Read Sameer,
dear cat bear fish,
One thing which I would like to add here is the difference between CURE all palliation.
I have been a victim on many occasion and then turned to try to learn the principles myself.
In my opinion I have seen so many people unaware of what CURE is like.
For example, I know many who would go to a homeopath and within a week the see much improvements and are so happy, after 2 weeks they return with the re appearance of the same symptoms or sometimes manifested in a different way.
Unfortunately, Most of us will never realize but will be visiting the same homeopath for years and in the end loose faith in homeopathy.
The people who have been CURED, mostly do not have to see the homepath ever again.
I remember reading Kent, Bailey and others and at many occasion they tell us about a case who was cured and the say ' I never saw him again'
I hope people understand that our masters spent their lives creating a set of principles for us to attain cure.
They have done much of the experimentation many homeopaths try to do these days, but in the end the masters always wins.
We need to learn a lesson and always follow our masters and if we want we can experiment but staying within the principles taught to us.
Regards.
