You don have to take it if you are feeling alright, we will see what other changes takes place. so no other medicines other than causticum at the start of the week isnt it?

Thanks!

Just wanted to give you an update on my son. On Thursday I saw a little glob of yellow mucous in Right eye then Friday morning same thing. This all occurred after that night and next day he was complaining of his eyes hurting him. I also noticied he had alot of yellow earwax in Left ear (also something new because it was always the Right ear). The last few days he is having a patch on Left cheek flare up (red, sometimes can see little, tiny bumps) and this has happened off and on the last few days. While he is not wheezing he is having a deep cough late at night and early in am, sometimes he sits up in bed and sometimes we have to get him water. Yesterday after church he had a few green grapes and went into a sneezing fit. I usually don't let him have many because at church they aren't the organic ones and he just doesn't seem to do well with them. Also if he eats too many he gets very hyper.

So all in all it is great that the wheezing is not happening...I am very thrilled about that. I am hoping he breaks through this coughing/congested spell but he is holding his own and that is great.

Update for me (Mom)
I felt great after taking the Causticum. I had a couple of bowel movements that day, things seemed to loosen up on the Right side and that lasted for a couple of days. This morning the Right side has the knotted up feeling again but overall I feel well. It just feels the muscles are tight and shortened and so I feel this constant pulling sensation from ribcage to hipbone. We will see how it goes.
Thanks!

Thats great new, all are keeping well and fine, for your son i should suggest give him pulsatilla 200 every week morning, so that he get additional support, otherwise nothing to give just calc carb 200 and tuberculinum 1M i suppose the start of the month isnt it? just leave one whole month since you gave him calc carb and tuberculinum, we will think of it once the term finishes, and give him pulsatilla 200 only one dose every week for one month which will leave with 4 doses in a month.

For you nothing to do, you are responding very fine and i am delighted, because homeopathically this is called 'single remedy and single dose wonder', and medicinally it is called 'complete uncomplicated recovery of a chronic condition apparently without side effects'.

But we may have to go through the other bits and peaces of itching and check for changes by stopping the medicines fully, which will take a while so lets hang on with how it is going now.
Thanks.

Hi Dr., As I mentioned in earlier posts he got very motivated after taking the nux vomica and seemed ready to do some exercises, etc. Today I just spoke to him and I asked how he was doing and he said all jerked up. I asked what do you mean, he says my shoulder. He has been complaining of pain in his shoulder for many, many years. He doesn't hold his neck up and says he can't because of his shoulder. I told him he will be taking second dose of the pellets tomorrow, Day 15 and he says okay. He says that he thought those pills helped him feel better but now he is wondering if it was just his imagination. So I told him in time he will get stronger and this has definitely helped his grandson get stronger. And he says hope so cause I am just getting weaker and want to get stronger.

So from what I can gather from him and my niece, is that the cough is mainly when he eats and he almost chokes. His tongue was pink today when she checked it. She says that when he is having the coughing spell it sounds like coming from the lungs and they think he should try spitting, he doesn't and says nothing to spit up. So not sure how much this helps but that is the situation at the moment. I will be going to NC in a couple of weeks so maybe I can get a better perspective of what is going on, and how he is doing overall.
Tomorrow is day 15, then the next dose is day 25?
Thanks!

seeing the symptoms i would suggest a remedy called Ignatia amara 30 two doses every day morning and night, he will be out of the cough and also will gain more strength with the whole situation. Also stop it when the cough is over which i predict will go in a few days time, and next dose of nux vomica on day 25.
Thanks.

Hi Dr., (Mom)
I did a yin yoga class Mon. night and open up alot of thight areas (front of legs, hips, etc.) and next morning I felt tired, tight muscles, etc. Then by afternoon my throat was swollen, hurts to swallon, my neck and head hurts, I had chills last night, I am spitting up green with a speck of blood stuff and I just feel lousy. My throat, lymph nodes are very, very swollen. I am canceling clients this morning. Anything I can take to help with this situation?

Son - Ate a banana/wheat muffin on Mon. and it listed no nuts but later saw little hard specks that seemed like walnuts. While eating he seemed fine but later in evening when he went to his Gym I saw him sitting off from the other kids, not running around, then came to me and said he was ready to go. He was coughing some. He has been coughing alot and can hear the congestion in chest. He just had a bowel movement and is getting ready for school so I guess he is doing okay. I thought I heard a little wheezing but I think it is mainly coughing. I guess I just have to see how things go. I did give him the dose of pulsatilla on Mon. It is hard to let things just happen and not be alarmed when he starts sounding like this. I know it is something I have to learn to do, take each day as it comes.
Thanks!

Hi Dr.,

Just wanted to let you know that my husband just asked if I saw how bad our son's eye is getting. He has always had one eye that was slightly smaller than the other), more noticeable when he was younger. I guess he has been making these comments about seeing double, this morning he told his Dad I have 4 feet), since last week after he had those couple of days of the mucous like stuff coming out of his eye. Is it possible this is the body trying to correct itself? Should we be concerned and do anything at this point?
Thanks!

For you, take dulcamara 30 4 drops or pills every 3 hours you will be cleared of the congestion by the end of the day.

son if he is having double vision then we will have to get an ophthalmologists and see what is the exact problem and then we can think of what to do. for wheezing or cough do not give him anything, since you have given pulsatilla so we will hold on for a while and if it gets bad then we will intervene.
Thanks.

Hi Dr.,
Just wanted to let you know something I just noticied. I had a bowel movement and right after I was looking in the mirror and noticed a red rash around my neck and up around my clavicle on both sides. Not itchy, not raised just red splotchy areas. Feeling a little better as the day goes on. Thanks!

Hi Dr.,
Just wondering about the whole eye thing. It seems a little suspicious with the chain of events. He had the gooey stuff come out of his eyes, he has been having his left cheeck have a red patch on it since then and it flares up off and on but never quite goes away and then the seeing double thing is mentioned. I just kind of think that there was already so weakness there and with maybe swelling of misalignment of something it is just making it worse. Is it possible things are just congested now on that side of the body and/or face and this is just a part of it?
Thanks!

Hi Dr., Wondering if you can prescribe something to help my husband. He is coughing daily, first thing in am and then in evening. He said he also noticied it happens when he is his worksite and runs out of heat then he gets a coughing spell, kind of change of temperature. He is coughing up yellow, sometimes green mucous.
Thanks!

Hi Dr., I am thinking that I had some type of reaction to some toasted sesame seeds I ate on a salad that day. I usually don't eat sesame seeds since after my son was born I noticed I would break out in a red rash. So the other day I ordered a salad and it was covered on the top with roasted sesame seeds. I did think I would have told them to leave off if I had known it came with that. But I just decided to eat it anyway not really thinking much about it. Without 20 minutes of finished the lunch was when my throat started feeling sore and swollen and then it just continue to worsen with the chills, etc. So then last night I see the rash all over my neck/chest and it is still there this morning but it is dispersing. And now I just had a bowel movement and it was covered in the sesame seeds. Okay, just wanted to relay that info. I am feeling better but right side of throat and neck still swollen. I didn't get the remedy until late in the evening so I just took a 3rd dose of it this morning.

Son - Still coughing, especially in am. Was mostly breathing through his mouth last night since nose was clogged up. I was doing a little energy work on him while he was sleeping, just some hand holds over his head and felt a small lump or raised area above his Left eye. I had asked him the other day if he remembered falling or any thing and he said no. Just wondering if it could be related to double vision. He still has the swollen lymph node on back of Right side of head (just something I noticied last night while feeling around his head).
Okay, thats it for now. I am considering getting him a cranial sacral session and sees if it helps out with the vision.
Thanks!

Hi,
About the double vision(diplopia) it could be anything form mild to serious, the causes are that the muscles in and around the eyes are week either alone or with the nerves togather, it is one of the common presentation we get in children less than 6 yrs old, the management is jsut adding a corrective glass and to check if there is any visible squint or convergence or divergence in the eye natively. so for a better understanding we need to get an ophthalmologists opinion. we do have medicines to support and strengthen the muscles but the best option is to correct it at the earliest with suitable glasses and stop the problem right off.
If the double vision is temporary and if it occurs very less often and it is not progressing it has chances to get better by itself but nothing to worry, but the deciding person will be the eye doctor, so please do consult one to get a clear idea.
Thanks.

Husband:
If there is cough with green(predominant) then dulcamara 30,
If is yellow discharge and no thirst and cough due to change of weather then Pulsatilla 30
if is with coarse cough with change of weather and also with pain in the throat then hepar sulph 30.
Hope this helps and it will save you the time typing me back the actual symptoms, but if he has anything other than this then get back to me will get a different remedy.
Thanks.
 
Dr. Bagyavasan.k last decade
The reaction with you is just an allergic reaction to the seeds. so just leave it like that you will resolve yourself sooner.
if it does not go then give me a shout i will find a remedy.

Hi Dr.,
I highly respect your opinion and if I had the money I would make an ophthalmologist appt. right away. But the truth is we are struggling to stay in our home and we will have to do some research and see if it is something we can make happen but I am not thinking it will be real soon. However, in the meantime I want to try to do anything I can to help the situation. I have seen the cranial sacral sessions work wonders so plan to see if I get him a session, have someone who was giving us reduced prices and letting me pay when I could. Also I was reading online about wearing a eye patch on the good eye for a period of time each day to let the other eye receive more vision data and see if that helps or not. But in the meantime I guess I am trying to look once again at the whole picture and I am wondering about some of the other issues that are still present. Such as the tension in his Right hip and his restriction on not being able to fully sit up from a position of being flat on his back, his complaints about his hamstrings (he points to behind his knees when he does certain movements), etc. There still seems to be some restriction in Right hips or hips in general. The lymph node on back of neck that has been swollen basically all his life. I know we are working on the total picture and I know we have seen the wheezing to have went away recently and him gain strength so all good signs. So I guess my question is this until we can earn and set aside some money to get the eyes tested is there any thing else we can do? I know you have been clear on your recommendation and I hear you 100% and we will work towards that goal but is that a 'what we can do in the meantime' plan for now that you recommend?
As always appreciate all you have done. Thanks!

Hi Dr.,
Son - think we have reached a milestone. This is the first week my son has been in school the entire week, no wheezing, even had a constant cough and stuffy nose but did well in school. Also his best friend was out 2 days which normally made him super sad but this week he took it in stride. I think we have grown emotionally, spiritually and phyically. I do believe the wheat/banana muffine wasn't our friend and was a big part of the excess mucous in nose but will just have to continue to tweek the diet until his body is stronger.
Husband - Gave him Pulsatilla, how many doses do we give, every 3 or 4 hours? He is having alot of mucous being coughed up and even had some in his eye this morning. Not sure if he will be able to go to work today (was home sick yesterday).

Mom - I don't feel like the dulcamara 30 was very effective for me, didn't seem to do much. My throat on Right side still swollen a little and Right ear was hurting this morning. But I took my Causticum this morning and I had a large bowel movement and just feel so much better. I have noticied since taking the Causticum that my bowel movements look more shiny and slimy but on the first day I take it it comes out with ease, feels like I have complete movement, etc. But in a few days seems like the constipation starts back up. But for now I will be thankful for feeling good today. Thanks!

Hi sorry for the late reply, was caught up in the snow almost the whole night, well i totally understand you situation, ok for the mean time get ruta 30 and start giving him every day 4 drops morning and evening atleast for a month, also give him some eye exercises like like place your finger in front of him at a distance at which he can clearly see it and then start moving it up down left and right, and ask him to follow the finger only with his eyes and not moving his head, also place the finger in the middle point and if you move up then bring it to the point where it was initially and then move it down, similarly in all four directions, later when he gets some practise ask him to close one eye the defective one and the do the same thing with the normal eyes after a week or so ask him to close the normal one and do it with the defective one.
so this action will increase strength to his eye muscles and then with the help of medicines we can correct them. since i am not seeing the patient i cannot judge what is the state and that was the reason i asked for a visit to ophthalmologist, but its fine we will try to get it with judgement.
let me now about the changes..
It is great news he is gaining strength and i am happy about it, he will be fully fine very soon, do not worry.

HUSBAND: continue the medicine only three times a day, let him bring up more mucus he will get well.

For you, dulcamara was given on the basis of green mucus and after physical exertion, you can take hepar sulph 30 a few doses that will clear the congestions and also take a dose of bryonia 30 when you go to bed,so things will ease out fully. I think you have those medicines in hand, did not want to burden you buy adding medicines.

But ruta for your son is must.

Hope i have addressed all issues, let me know if you need any more advice, i will also speak with a friend of mine who is an ophthalmologist and see what we could do about the diplopia alright.
Thanks.

Hi Dr.,
Hope you are surviving the snow. We are having wind and extremely cold weather....really makes me want to move to Florida. I took my son to get a cranial sacral session yesterday and she was also having him do the exercises you mentioned. His Left eye doesn't seem to move when moving my finger to left or right, kind of stays fixed. This morning I saw him tilting his head so he could use his good eye so I had him cover up the good eye with a cap pulled over that eye for a bit. I am asking friends and church members if anyone knows of an ophthalmologist that they would recommend in the area and my husband plans to call the one he has seen in the past (since he has all kinds of issues with his eyes, and the pressure in them, etc.) and see if we can get my son an appt. and pay on an installment plan.

In the meantime got the ruta 30c, but in pellets not liquid form so I am assuming I do 4 pellets in am and 4 in pm. I can order the liquid but wanted to get what I could get today so we can start on remedy. Is it okay to give first remedy tonight and not wait until am? Thanks!
 
congested last decade
Thats is great if you can get an appointment, nothing to worry he would probably give a corrective glass and it should be fine, then we will strengthen his muscles, it is fine if you give him in pellets no need to get liquid, start it right now we will see how it goes.
It is right time to start the exercise atleast do three times a day if you get chance if not then atleast twice. he is young and his muscles will gain power eventually, so give the medicines and do let me know when u get the ophthalmologists review ok.
Take care.
Thanks.

Hi Dr.,
My husband and I are having a hard time getting rid of the mucous but it is slowly getting better. Husband missed 4 days of work and he wouldn't do that if he wasn't feeling miserable. He is getting alot of coughing first thing in am and pm and he is just exhausted he says. So today he is heading back to work.

Me - got into a dental clinic last night, been on a waiting list for over a year. I haven't had my teeth cleaned in at least 4 years. They see alot of erosion and wear down of my enamel. I have always had somewhat thin looking teeth and a mouth full of filling since I was young. One dentist said I was brushing too hard and last night they asked about my diet and eating acidic food. I have been drinking lots of lemon water in the last 5 years, made me feel better and seem to encourage bowel movement. So I am wondering about how I can go about remineralizing my teeth. I have heard about drinking bone broth for the minerals, something I have yet to try. Is there any homeopathic remedy(s) that will help out with the teeth?

Oh yeah we have our son an ophthalmologist appt. tomorrow morning so will give you an update soon. We have been taking the Ruja and doing the eye exercises.
Thanks!

Hi Dr.,

Well I am feeling a little overwhelmed at the moment. I took my son to his appointment and I thought this eye doctor was an opthamalogist but found out he is not. Anyway he did alot of testing and has prescribed glasses. He has not made a full diagnoses, had a few thoughts 1)weak muscle 2) inner ear something 3)farsightnesses and may want to but some drop in my son's eye next time to see if the muscle spasms and see just how farsighted he is (since eye is not going all the way to left - it is stuck). I may not be relaying this all in the right way but best way I remember it. I am just overwhelmed by the large bill, don't feel he is open-minded to alternative treatment, just from things he said and didn't say, just my overall vibe. So I am just kind of not knowing which road to take. What info were you looking to have from an opthamalogist to help you further recommend treatments?
****My Uncle - Had a stroke on Monday and now has pneumonia, has a tube, saying it doesn't look good. Not sure if they would consider homeopathy at all but if they would do it would nux vomica be the thing to do initially like for my father (or was that because of his cigarette addiction?).
Thanks!

Oh dear we are going on a different track then, an ophtalmologist should be able to make a diagnosis and not guess, well i spoke with my friend at the university hospital and he thinks it is more likely the muscles considering the age and also the presentation, so i will go with his views. I wanted an ophtalmologist to test your son and give me a detailed diagnosis of the condition and also to advice me on the part of the eye that is defective, like the muscles, the lens, the curvature etc, but his idea is not conclusive at all. Any way i will still ask you to stick with ruta and see how it goes atleast for a month, also if he has given some glasses, is your son able to see properly with those glasses at all?
Let me know more about the glasses the power and nature of it, if you have them.

No not all cases of stroke will be helped by nux vomica, you father was given was becuase of addiction, anger, violance, etc..
What other symptoms is your uncle having, pneumonia after stoke does not look good. get me the symptoms i will suggest some medicines..
Has the stroke resolved at all..

Thanks..
