This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Add: I am not criticizing vegetarianism BTW. I think that can be done in a healthful way, perhaps can be more healthful than meat eating.
I am arguing that a cup of coffee is not a good nutritious breakfast.

Keypass: In the absence of any vitamin C--neither through the diet, nor supplementation, nor otherwise, can a homeopathic remedy alone cure scurvy? If you answer yes, please document and explain this.
Bec. to the best of my current understanding a total lack of vit. C Will "cause" scurvy.

Oh yeah, you are out of town and can't reply.
Oh well, I will have to be patient.
Anywho, it seems more reasonable to me to say that germs do not "cause" illness, since there are always people who have resistance to any particular germ.
Not so reasonable to say lack of nutrition is not causative since --absent hearing from you otherwise --everyone who has no vit. C intake gets scurvy. There's no known to me situation where the vital force is strong enuf to overcome that deficiency.
Now I will practice my patience!

An absolute lack of some essential nutrient would obviously cause disease. It is like saying if someone stops eating, can homeopathic medicines, even if correctly chosen can cure hunger. Obviously while taking homeopathy, you need normal diet and environment. Less the obstructions to cure such as stress, antibiotics, malnourishment etc. the better.
However a person's system can develop a lack of some essential nutrient even if you eat the food items rich in that particular nutrient. For example, a person may develop calcium deficiency even though he is taking food rich in calcium. This happens because the body is not able to assimilate the calcium from the food. This in turn will produce a number of corresponding diseases. If left untreated for long major complications can develop. But you administer Calcarea Carb in potency, and the system starts to assimilate Calcium from the food and slowly the system gets back to normal. An absolute lack of any key nutrient is only hypothetical. Any normal diet contains all the nutrients necessary for survival. With correct homeopathic treatment, the body develops the capacity to assimilate and hence use all the nutrients necessary for itself.
I hope it helps.

Rajiv,
Okay, that I can agree with as quite reasonable. And in fact the exact situation you describe is why my mother has taken Calc Carb for osteoporosis problems.
Now though, a question, and understand that I am meaning this as *in addition to* homeopathy to look at nutrition, *not instead of* homeopathy.
Does a diet that consists of 1 cup of coffee at 4:30 AM, 1 bowl of rice and vegetables at lunch (poster does not say how much--maybe it is 5 servings of vegetables in that one meal--in which case there might be plenty of nutritional value--but this seems unlikely), 1 cup of coffee in the afternoon, 1 cup of rice and bean curd (???) in the evening, invariably day after day apparently for many years (10?) sound like a reasonable diet?
Looks like basically a coffee and rice diet. Plus a very little extra. I Wonder if she drinks any water beyond what is in the coffee. I hope at least that it is brown rice.
It sounds great compared to people imprisoned in a gulag or in the midst of a famine, but one hardly expects people in those conditions to be feeling wonderful.
Well, if the poster's mother takes homeopathy while making no other changes and becomes totally and permanently better (still having coffee for breakfast and so on) it will be interesting and very impressive! And since the poster's mother will probably be resistent to any dietary changes, it is an experiment that may well happen.

One thing which I have not put so clear is
She takes white rice, and yoghurt and not bean curd. He prefers eating hot spicy food.
One of the reason she does not like eating fruits, other vegetables and in the night rich food is because she feels that her stomach is always full.
She does all work for the entire family on her own and quite energetic.
In my view, she needs good sleep, good appetite and I trust the Cal Ars can provide that ?

This is a bump up for someone else to answer the Cal Ars question for you.
Do you think you could get your mother to have some yoghurt (or some other snack with a little protein in it) near when she gets up in the morning--allowing for time after taking the homeopathy as needed.
And to drink several glasses of plain water in the course of the day, particularly toward the earlier part of the day?
Brown rice is gen. more nutritious than white, but is a harder change for many people to make. And giving up at least the afternoon coffee might help, but also is likely a hard change.

No remedy helps when you die from malnutrition.
"The stomachs always feeling full", well, if thats the case, the remedy choice is a laxative, no-one can eat when the bowels are clogged up.
Lycopodium should be helpfull, use it in 6, twice a day, max 14 days, and it should be taken care of.
If lycopodium, fail to act,Phodophyllum or chelidonium may be helpfull.

Sabra, need your attention -
I have got her out of coffee for now. She has taken two dose of Calc Ars on Friday, I know it is too early, I am going back to my questions,
Will she get some sleep with this, she is desperate to have some sleep. I am keen that she has some sleep. She is dozing off during morning hours for 10 minutes.
Can I try the arnica treatment suggested by Joe De, if it does not interfere with your treatment.
Else tell me by when she can feel the difference or will be having good sleep ?
I am desperate and she is as well desperate of sleep ?
Please help

Arnica will not interfere but if your mother is absolutely desperate for sleep, i don't think Arnica is the right medicine. Arnica can help in case of more normal cases but it may not be indicated where lack of sleep is of desperate type. You give your mother Passiflora Q 30 drops in a tablspoonful of water three times a day. The last dose should be half an hour before she goes to bed. In a week she would start to see the difference to her life.
I hope it helps. Sabra is away till 4th July. If you can't find Passiflora give her Avena Sativa 15 to 20 drops in a cup of warm water three times a day. This will again produce souns sleep.
Please listen to my advice. You will not regret it.

Rajiv,
thank you very much. If you look at my first posting explaining the problem, she has taken passiflora in the past with little help.
