No worries, will try to make a new one. Or order a new one.
Once I give him the teaspoon, I will watch and observe and keep you posted.
Thanks in advance for your time and reassurance.

Hi David,
I started Phos today for my son, when do you usually see results? Does it normally take time?
His been really unsettle today, but than again he is like that too, so hard to tell.
I'll see how he goes tomorrow.

After the dose of a remedy, aggravation usually happens within 3 days. That may last a few days and then improvement sets in. Unless there is some urgent need to act sooner, I usually assess the response after 1 week.

Thanks for your reassurance David. I guess I'm a little cautious now.
Will let you know how he goes after a week

Hi David,
Just had a question, my son woke up yesterday and today with red eye lids. I'm noticing it more today though on his left eye and it's a little swollen too. This was happening to him a couple of weeks ago. Do you think that's an aggravation coming out?
Other than that his sleeps have been a lot better, not waking up screaming and sleeping longer. He did pooh on his own yesterday too. It was a foul rotten egg smell, but still exciting he actually did one. I hope he keeps this up.
Thanks in advance

My homeopath put him on calc carb and that seemed to clear it up for some reason, but the sulphur flared it up before that. The eye gets a little watery too.
I have done an allergy test and that came out clear. However, he was on homeopath medicine when I did the allergy test. My homeopath said that the medicine does not effect the allergy test, is that true? I thought I should have stopped it.

Also David, you know how I said that my homeopath wanted to put my son back on sulphur after the calc carb, but this time diluted in water, instead of 5 drops straight in the mouth. Do you think she wanted to do that to antidote the sulphur?

Hi David,
Just a bit concern my son is really constipated again, he didnt go at all yesterday even with me trying to help him, which is unlike him and today again. Today he could only get out a little pellet and started crying from pushing too much.
He only poohed on his own on Thursday, the day after Phos.
Still sleeping better though.
Do you suggest anything?
Thanks

I have no idea what she was doing. She was chopping and changing medicines without waiting to see what was really happening, and not seeming confident in any choice she made.
Yes repeat the remedy. Because of his sensitivity, I would take the teaspoon out of the first cup and diulte it into another 1/4 cup. Stir and give him 1 teaspoon out of that.

Hi David,
I've given my son the Phos today and was thinking of perhaps stopping the Zantac to see how he goes without it, what do you think?
Just not sure cause he gets a hoarse cough from time to time, and It started sounding bad again yesterday and today. Not sure if it's croup ....will Phos help wit that too? He sounds out of breathe.
Thanks

It should help, but I will alter the prescription if it does not. Homoeopathy is also about being flexible enough to change tack when the symptoms change or become more obvious.
♡ brisbanehomoeopath last decade
He still has the hoarse cough today, it could be coming from his reflux. Not sure if I should get it checked out with a doctor.
I diluted his Zantac with water today but he only slept for 30mins this morning instead of 1 1/2hrs. Not sure if it's the Zantac constipating him also or the rice cereal.
Do you think I need to give him Phos again today for the hoarse cough?

David, hope you don't mind, but I gave my son a dose of Phos today the way you first prescribe it to him in a full cup and one teaspoon. I gave it to him at midday and at 1pm he went down to sleep and slept for 2hrs and when he woke up I gave him milk and he did a pooh on his own, without my help and it was not plasticine looking either
His skin is looking better too and the hoarse cough is not as bad as yesterday too.
I think Phos is agreeing with him. Are we able to give it to him more frequent perhaps? Instead of me giving him Zantac which I hate giving to him anyway. His condition could be chronic.
What do you suggest?

Remedy may be aggravating him which is fine if that is happening. One day is not long enough for a remedy, especially if that is an aggravation - repeating too soon will just make it worse.
♡ brisbanehomoeopath last decade
Okay perhaps I should have waited, Don't want to cause further aggravations. Just hate seeing him unable to pooh or sleep. Just don't understand why he does pooh after I give him Phos on his own and yet needed my help this morning for a little plasticine few pellets.
Very frustrating

Aggravation is often a necessary step, although we try to keep the degree of it at a minimum. The cure comes when the person's vital energy 'pushes back' against the remedy's effect. This is in the opposite direction, which means it neutralizes the symptoms.
It is posible that the Phosphorous is acting palliatively, if he is better and then worse, rather than worse and then better.

Hi David, my son is very constipated again. Could the Phos being doing this? I feel he is worse than before. If I stop giving him any homeopath medicine will he go back to his original self?
I feel there is always new problems, We originally started cause of his reflux and now we are facing skin conditions, hoarse cough, constipation. Not sure where it's all coming from. How can I clean the slate of all medicines administered in him?

Hi David,
Just wanted to give you an update with my son. His skin is a lot better than before, he no longer has a hoarse cough, his sleeps seem to have improved too.
His constipation is not 100% but I have cut out rice cereal and it seems to be a bit better. I'm hoping to cut out Zantac too. His reflux is still a bit of a bother to him at times. I understand Zantac has peppermint in it. Can this interfee with homeopath medicine?
As for his personality he is getting a bit sooky again, when he sees me he just wants me to pick him up and when I don't he loses it. I also had some other babies at my place last Friday and he was not very social with them. Jus wanted me to hold him or be on his own watching tv. Not sure what that all means.
Not sure where from here with treatment.
Also I was hoping if you could review my endometriosis case, as I have been in a lot of pain again these last 4 days.
Thanks in advance

David, haven't heard from you in a while. Hope your well. If you could help me, my son has woken up with a cold. Last night he sounded like he had a congested nose and woke up from it a few times. Also that hoarse cough is back too. Do you recommend something for it pls?
Thanks
Thanks

The real problem with Zantac is that it is suppressing his symptoms - the peppermint is irrelevent. While symptoms are being suppressed, a person can never be cured, so the goal is to withdraw the medicine slowly.
His new problems are coming from the suppression of his reflux. This is a well known and understood situation in our philosophy. The longer it goes on, the more chronic health problems that will develop, ultimately shaping (or distorting) his future health.
It is very important to get this sorted out now before that happens.
I would repeat the remedy immediately. Each dose should do something more than the previous one, unless the potency is not strong enough and we need to go up. Repeat first, lets see what happens.
Always bump your thread up. I handle so many cases here it can be easy for a few people to get a bit lost.

Thanks so much David, I really like how you explain things! Would like to continue with you treating us. I shall give him another dose in a full cup of water and give him a teaspoon out of that.
I shall put my case together and attention it to yourself.
Thanks in advance

Hi David,
I've given my son the Phos, but haven't noticed any improvement yet. He is waking up screaming again, I have tried to stop the Zantac but his sleeps are getting bad again. It seems as though he still needs a bit of Zantac. I noticed though that when I stopped the Zantac, his stool was better but his sleeps and behaviour was bad. Also when I give him the Phos his left eyelid goes red and his eye goes watery. It can last for days like this on and off. His stool is green and he drooling a lot lately. Not sure if he is teething? Would Phos help with that?
He still has a bit of a hoarse cough, sometimes sounds congested in the nose, sneezes and hiccups too.
What do you suggest I do?
