HELP!! Sulphur: severe reaction. _{Page 3 of 4}

I think you should find a professional right away. The best way forward is to give you the correct medicine, as that will remove the overdose immediately.

It's too difficult to assess a fresh case of scabies mixed with an aggravation on the internet.

A professional in person will be able to solve the problem immediately, and it's worse to wait if the scabies case is fresh.

Here is the homeopathic intake form. This is the way to begin a correct case.

Once the aggravation is done, stop the Aconite. You don't want to overdose on that!

In general, in many cases, one gives a homeopathic remedy once that lasts from a week to several months.

For example, one person I'm treating uses her remedy once per month, another once per week, etc.

Usually the first appointment is the time consuming session. It usually takes 2 hours. The practitioners that I'm familiar with charge about $250-$300 for the first appointment, and perhaps $75/$100 per hour of follow up. But in most cases, 75% of the time is the first session. Once the correct remedy is found, one might follow up once every few months, or just occasionally weekly or monthly for a half hour by phone depending on the case.

Look for someone who calls themselves a 'Classical Homeopath' and make sure to mention that you've just had scabies. Correct homeopathic treatment of scabies can prevent serious health issues later on. Actually homeopathicly treating a case of scabies is a very good time to begin homeopathy, because a return to perfect health is more available then than at other times.

I think you should keep looking for another homeopath. There's got to be someone in your area who charges less than that.

You can keep taking sips of the Aconite, shaking the container 10 times before each use.

Again the Aconite won't help with the scabies, only with the overdose of Sulph.

It's very difficult to give guidance in this situation without more information.

I don't have a website. If you'd like to post your email or phone number, I might be able to help.

Any success finding a homeopathy in NY? If there is a phone number you can add, I could make a quick call via phone.

If you are comfortable, you can anonymously add your case as many others do to this forum. There are many experts who give advice to patients in search of their correct remedies.

When a patient gets scabies (sometimes called psora in homeopathy), there is an opportunity for the patient to use a remedy like Sulphur and cure the condition itself plus all similar conditions that might be in their own history or that they might be predisposed to from their family history. This can sometimes save a patient from a year or two of homeopathic treatment!

There is a possibility that you, very lucky and wisely cured the psora yourself with Sulph. Your attitude in this forum doesn't show any psoric symptoms besides the overdose of Sulph. It does show what homeopaths call sycosis or figwarts.

Because your attitude seems very much connected to the figwarts, and not at all psoric, you probably need another remedy to treat that.

You can try putting any bothersome symptoms (that started before the scabies) in the Remedy Finder and looking for a correct remedy.

PS. The Sulphur was probably the very best remedy you could have used. You simply used it for too many days. Usually a remedy if given correctly only needs to be used one time. In a serious case of scabies it might be used a few times at most.

I thought you stopped the sulfur ointment and all other skin ointments, as they cause terrible damage.

If you can get Aconite 30c today, put one pellet in a 10oz of water, and drink one tablespoon. That could stop your aggravation.

As JH as said, you need to get proper treatment to get rid of these symptoms. Stop looking at is as a reaction and see it as a disease that needs to be fixed.

One of the problems with the Remedy Finder is that most people using it have no idea how to select the symptoms to put in. Just typing in every symptom you have will not give the the best answer. There is a whole set of guidelines behind the selection and order of importance of symptoms.

Itching is a general undifferentiated symptom and will never direct you to a specific remedy (all remedies have it). Exclude the symptom from your analysis.

Sensitive skin is a general undifferentiated symptom and as above, will never lead you to a specific remedy. Exclude the symptom from your analysis.

Itching < scratching means that when you scratch, the itching becomes more intense or spreads - is this what you meant? It is a good symptom if true, because the normal reaction to scratching is to improve the itch (and thus is useless for selecting a remedy).

The best symptoms for selecting a remedy are general ones - those that affect the whole person rather than just the part. Selection of a remedy based on the general state will often work well even if no notice is taken of the symptoms affecting individual parts.

I suggested Aconite because the state is one of panic, anxiety, fear, restless, agitation. Of course I recognize an Aconite person when they come in to see me - in suggesting it to you I am trying to guess that state from the tone of your posts.

If the Aconite is appropriate at this point, repeat the remedy every 2 hours, but if you have taken 5 doses stop. Then we can reassess.

I think that taking Sulphur again would be disasterous for you. I am kind of suprised that you would be willing to risk it again.

It is good to hear that the Aconite cured the state you ended up in. Very good to hear.

The symptoms that you are describing are normal symptoms for scabies. They will not be useful for choosing a remedy. A remedy should be chosen on the basis of the whole case, paying particular attention to peculiars and symptoms relating to you as a person rather than just your skin.
