Opinions please

I have been taking Causticum 10 M for my M.S. for about 14 months now. The person I get it from has me taking it every three days, was just wondering if that sounds too frequent?

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Hmm.. this is a recipe for disaster. This is not just too frequent , this is ridiculously HIGH dosage.

A single dose of 10M potency of a well chosen remedy can act for 6 months.

And, you have not seen any troublesome symptoms develop from this crazy repetition ?

I have had bouts of dizziness and headaches but I thought it was because of my M.S. coming out, not because of the causticum. What is your opinion on plusing?
 
Mary H. last decade
Plusing or no plusing, 10M taken for months will cause severe problems, and it is extremely likely that you are experiencing PROVING symptoms of Causticum after this regimen.

Stop the remedy immediately if you havent already done so.

I think your dizziness and headaches are related to Causticum more than your MS.

Also, I would be surprised if you dont have any troublesome mental symptoms from this ? Any anger,fears or anxieties ? Any sadness ? after you started the causticum ?
 
sameervermani last decade
My last dose was on Monday and I will be stopping it. I have not had any mental, anxietie, or sadness problems and for that I am grateful, however, I had an MRI done of my brain in February and my Nerologist said that I had 20+ new lesions. My old MRI only showed 8.

He also has met taking Lachesis 1m once a week. Is that too often?
 
Mary H. last decade
What a mess !!

Please stop taking medicines from this guy as he obviously does not know what homeopathy is.

A 1M is an extremely deep acting potency and is best used as single dose (never to be repeated), and if the medicine is correct, you would see a curative response which will last for weeks from a single dose.

If and when the response comes to a halt, and there has been benefit, then we repeat the medicine in a higher potency. We never repeat the same potency like this.

To answer your question, yes the dosage is WAY too HIGH and we never EVER give 2 medicines together in homeopathy.
 
sameervermani last decade
Wow, I never knew it was not good to take 2 together. Thank you for letting me know. I also had told him about my son. He has spinal biffoda and Rubenstein Taybi syndrome. He put him on Mercurius once every 3 weeks for the Spinal Biffoda. Now I am wondering about this.

Dear Mary,

These are energy medicines where it is NOT the action of the medicine but RATHER the REaction of the vital force to the medicine which cures.

If you keep on bombarding the vital force with successive unchanged doses, you do not give the body time to develop its response. Once the body has started responding to a dose of one potency, all future doses tend to either impede cure or impart accessory symptoms (troublesome symptoms which were not there earlier in the patient but are the part of the remedy symptom picture).

I would stay away from this guy as such prescriptions can lead to horrible suppressions (where the disease goes onto attack more vital organs than it is occupying right now).

Dear Sameer,
Thank you for your knowledge on these remedies. I will stop taking the Lachesis and will only take the Causticum, but definitely not as frequent. I will no longer give the mercerius to my son either.

Hi Mary,

Do not continue the Causticum as it will start worsening the condition for sure at some point of time.

You have taken all the Causticum one can need for a lifetime.

If you can list your symptoms, sensations, behavior, temperament, fears, generalities (what makes you worse/better), and food cravings/aversions, I can let you know what might be the right remedy for you.

If Causticum was anywhere near the right remedy for you, you would have aggravated yourself extremely badly by now. So, you should thank your luck that Causticum was NOT the right remedy. The fact that 14 months of repetition of 10M did not produce a strong aggravation, is a clear indication that Causticum was totally dissilimar to your natural disease and that is the reason that it kept getting repelled.

Sameer,
I have had M.S. for 17 years. Some of the symptoms I experience are numbness and tingling of hands and feet, a gait problem with my right leg in which I do wear a brace. Headaches, dizziness( nausea because of the dizziness)and optic neuritis flare ups on occasion. I am a pretty easy going person but have been stubborn at times on certain issues. The only fear that I seem to have is a fear of drowning. Hot makes me worse ( hot weather, fevers, hot showers, etc.) laying down tends to make me feel better. Sometimes I like salty and sweet foods right after another. I love fruits and vegis. I do not like cooked spinach or liver. Anything more specific, please ask.
Mary
 
Mary H. last decade
Please mention the exact location of tingling and numbness.

Also mention aggravation times, and anything which ameliorates these issues apart from the lying down amelioration and heat aggravation.

'numbness and tingling of hands and feet, a gait problem with my right leg Headaches, dizziness( nausea because of the dizziness)and optic neuritis flare ups on occasion.'

Also, what happened 17 years ago ? Any life event which coincided with the start of MS ?
 
sameervermani last decade
The numbness and tingling are in my fingers and palms of my hands and the bottom of my feet.

Too much stress has been a major factor in my flare ups. Keeping calm helps. Are you looking for month or year times?

17 years ago I had an injury to a disc in my back which I was told that that could have been the onset of the M.S.
 
Mary H. last decade
I mean what time of the day do you feel at your best/worst.. ? Also any other pattern you have noticed about feeling better/worse in certain weather ?

Okay, so this injury to the disc in your back, can you please describe what was the exact accident ?

Also, before this accident, no symptoms of MS were there ?

How much time after the injury did these symptoms begin ?
 
sameervermani last decade
Mornings are the best times for me, as the day goes on, the more fatigued I am. The worse time would be the evenings. In the hottest part of the day in the summer months I can't hardly function.

I lifted too much weight at work and it caused a bulging disc in my lower back. L-4 or 5.

I did have 1 bout of optic neuritis in 1991 but had a spinal tap which came out negative for M.S. Then in 1992 I had an MRI and that was consistant with M.S. In 1994 I had another spinal tap that came out positive for M.S.

The symptoms came on very fast after the injury. within a week or two.

Hi Mary,

Can you please describe, how affectionate are you ? Also, your general behaviour, likes/dislikes , hobbies, will be very important in picking the right remedy. Describe yourself as a person as much as possible.

Sameer
 
sameervermani last decade
I am a very affectionate person, but that is something that I keep between my husband and I and have a kind, sweet personality. I like to camp, fish, bake and draw. I dislike swimming, boating and I really have a hard time when people don't have common sense. I am outgoing.I have a good outlook on life. I love to joke and laugh. I am a good mother.
 
Mary H. last decade
Hi Mary,

I am down to 4 remedies.. and still need more information to narrow down..Please expand more on this 'I really have a hard time when people don't have common sense.'..


Also, is there an odd symptom you can think of...any odd sensation anywhere in the body, thought or recurrent dream.. will help in clinching the right remedy

Sameer
 
sameervermani last decade
I get irritated when people don't have common sense. for example, say there was an elderly lady that got knocked down, common sense would tell you to go and help her up and see if she was ok instead of just walking by or ignoring what happened.

I have had a pain in my jaw on the lower right side. A stabbing pain. When it is really bad, it makes it difficult to eat,talk, and brush my teeth.

And I failed to mention that I get chills every few days where it feels like I'm freezing to death. My legs and feet are always cold though.
 
Mary H. last decade
And this pain in the jaw , did this exist before Causticum ?

What other illnesses have you suffered since childhood ?
 
sameervermani last decade
No, the pain was not there before the Causticum.

I had chicken pox when I was a child, and some sort of virus in my ribs when I was 12 or 13. My mother said that I never could handle my immunizations. She always had to carry me around on a pillow because I couldn't stand my skin touched.
 
Mary H. last decade
The first step should be to calm down the accessory symptoms of Causticum a bit through an olfaction dose. A lot of the symptoms you are experiencing in your jaws and dizziness are from the Causticum.

Take a bottle of Causticum 6c in liquid form (25% or above alcohol content) and open its lid, and bring it close to your nostril, and take a sharp , very short sniff from the bottle ONCE. (so that you can feel the smell of alcohol going inside)

Report in 72 hours after the dose.
 
sameervermani last decade
All I have is the 10 M in tiny sugar pellets. Can I dissolve some in water?
 
Mary H. last decade
No No...

you are not understanding this..we have to use a 6c.

The 10 M has caused some proving symptoms, which we are trying to remove through an olfaction dose of a much lower potency.

You can get liquid remedies online, and one possible source is..
