33yr old, sick for 20yrs - speech, brain, insomnia, energy - can anyone help please?

Hi,

I’d greatly appreciate any suggestions that anyone can make. The speech problem means it’s hard to make friends and in many ways I feel like at 33 my life in many areas hasn’t started.
I’ll list some problems by approximate age at which they happened/started and others that it’s hard to know when they happened/started I’ll just list:

- 7yrs taught how to swim. Then one day I couldn’t swim anymore and had to go back to using the flutter board to learn again

- 8yrs changed ‘overnight’ (overnight? Month? Few months?), emotionally withdrew my Mum says

- was allergic to pivot

- 10/11yrs arsenate poisoned

- 11 or 12 or so had a bug (flu I think) for 6 months

- developed a few fears

- went from being a good long distance runner to bad over about 5yrs

- as a student in high school I struggled with memory – if we hadn’t just covered it I couldn’t remember it – and I know everybody only retains so much in memory but I’m talking big memory problem

- I remember one lunch time in high school I had only one thing to say with my friends and waited till the end of lunch break to say it – what I mean is that I’ve always (since I was a toddler or just since I got sick – I don’t know) had a problem with finding things to talk about – I know that’s a problem with many people but I honestly believe I am an extreme case

- Started playing soccer at about 11 and played through to when I was 17 but I wasn’t able to improve with all that practice (maybe just a little bit) but I was basically as good at 17 as I was at 11.

- About 20yrs mercury poisoned

- 20-22yrs was studying engineering – had to drop out because my grades just plummeted

- at 20 I took up playing cricket seriously and was pleased with my progress – at 21yrs I stopped because I could hardly hit the ball anymore – and my ability to run/fitness was appalling

- all the mercury and arsenate is out of my body now – I used homeopathy and just recently cleaned up any remaining stuff with cilantro

- since the arsenate poisoning I have never been able to get fit – I put in an honest effort like anyone else but the fitness just dosen’t come

- insomnia – taking between 1-4 hours to fall asleep – it’s sometimes been about 1 hour recently but mostly over the years it’s been about 2-3hours. Then I wake up feeling tired. If I drove anywhere over 1hour I would feel tired and often times have to pull over so that I could rest for a few minutes so I didn’t fall asleep at the wheel. I started going to a chiropractor about 2years ago and he said it was like I didn’t get to be fully awake or fully asleep just somewhere inbetween if you know what I mean. I haven’t taken too much notice but I think the problem with driving has been resolved. But I certainly still feel tired during the days.

Speech/memory which is a big concern for me:
- I remember a few years ago just talking with someone and trying to put together a sentence was like reaching up into the air to grab a word and then grabbing another one and so forth to try to put together this sentence.

- People sometimes pause while they’re talking to come up with an appropriate word or phrase that is escaping them at the moment – doesn’t hardly if ever work for me

- I want to be with people but because of my speech/brain problem I aren’t – I avoid people, I don’t try to make friends – not by choice but by default – it’s a lonely existence

- Memory/brain: I used to be quite good at my studies. It may sound contradictory to what I said before about a poor memory but let me explain: I could study hard and pass with good grades but then if you asked me about anything to do with it about a month or two later or whatever I’d maybe remember 5 percent or something. So anyway I managed to finish high school with about the 3rd highest score in sciences and maths but then a few years later had to drop out of engineering. Nowdays I can’t even ‘study’ – if I go to ‘study’ I get tired very quickly – almost instantaneously at times (maybe all the time) – by study I mean reading something that requires quite some effort and isn’t just a story.

Off the speech/memory and onto other stuff:
- Over past 4 years had 3 abscesses

- Dark circles under my eyes

- Vaginal candidiasis on and off over the years, but don’t think I have candidiasis in the gut (not sure)

- Flakey and itchy scalp for years

- A couple of wart looking things on scalp

- Period has always been long, heavy and painful

- Pains in torso from time to time

- ‘feel heart in throat’ sometimes, and have heart pulpitations

- dry lower lip

- once felt pain at breast that felt like being stabbed with a knife

- large number of bumps on torso – don’t think they’re warts

- had green/blue streaks on body – symmetrically placed – at base of throat, above belly button and on both arms to side of elbow – faded to brown – pretty much gone now

- my chiropractor worked on my torso and did cranio-sacrio work –was up to 6 week maintenance when I stopped (both sides of family have back problem)

- I’ve had homeopathies to take care of chemicals, am partly through miasms and have done other homeopathies

- Was taking natural minerals but couldn’t raise something to do with minerals

- Just recently purchased things from herbal store that I will take – digestion, liver/kidney, hormones herbs – I’ve started on liver/kidney

- I’ve done intestinal flush, kidney flush and done about 12 liver/gall bladder flushes but still needed more

- Have taken lots of stuff over years to help – have taken vitamin C fairly regularly over the years and just recently graped seed extract regularly – think it and or magnesium might be helping my period

- After improving my diet more and more over about a year or two I tried being super good with what I ate for about 6 months or more not taking anything unhealthy on board – didn’t feel any better for it – or if I did it was only a barely recognizable improvement – so only bother eating healthy about 60% of the time.

- Had autoimmune thing rising but at last blood test it had leveled out

- Something about foods: I love peppermint chocolate, hate porridge, and hate boiled eggs and pavlova


That’s about all I can think of at the moment. To anyone who read through all of that thankyou. And for any advice that anyone can give – thankyou in advance.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
I forgot to add: continually clogged or runny nose and disintigrating teeth.

And you thought the list couldn't get any longer :-)

I am so sorry to hear of your problems.I will try to help you as much as i can.

Answer the following questions to help us identify a remedy.
Would you describe yourself primarily as a sentimental person? How do you feel on a moonlit night? Does it make you emotional or get into a sad mood or does it soothe you? Do you lik dim lights of the kind they use in restaurants? Any history of pains, corns or warts on heels, soles of the feet etc.? Have you always had a problem with your digestion? The runny nose that you nentioned, do you also sneeze or cough a lot? Is sneezing or coughing if present, aggravated by looking into the fire or looking at the sun? Are you a chilly person or a hot person? That is better in the summer or sunbathing or worse by it? Aggravated in winter or ameliorated by it? How do you feel near the sea i.e. all problems better at the seaside or worse?Do you get a lot of premonitions?

Rajiv

Hello Rajiv,

Thankyou for the reply and for your concern.

Not really sentimental. But then I couldn't answer whether that's because I don't have alot to be sentimental about.
I like to look outside at night - moonlit or otherwise and yes it is soothing.
Yes I like dim lights.
No history of pains, corns, warts on feet.
I wouldn't know if I've always had a problem with my digestion as the problem was only a recent discovery. Only recently tested something to see how the mineral or mineral effected levels were.
No, I don't sneeze or cough with the runny nose. I haven't noticed if sneezing or coughing is effected by looking into a fire or at the sun.
I like the summer and spring and don't like the cold of winter.
I like being being in the sun but haven't noticed whether it makes any symptoms worse or not.
I love being by the sea - it's very peaceful.
I don't get any premonitions.

I'll add a couple of other things I thought of:
- I'm not very observant. If someone asked me what was the wallpaper was like or the carpet like where my computer is I couldn't have told them - only know now cos I had a look before.
- every few months I get in my mouth a small globule or two of what I can only describe as snot.
- I remember once about 12 years ago sitting at a table with a couple of other of other people. They were friends and having a pretend verbal fight where in fun they would trade 'nasty' remarks. They were doing this so fast that I was stuggling just trying to keep up with the conversation - there was no way I could have joined in with things to say.
- There is no way to be sure but it would seem to me that the mercury and arsenate poisoning have a lot to do with my ill health.

Thankyou Rajiv

Cuurtney;do you like music?
What angers you most about other people?
 
Astra2012 last decade
Your nails?
The worst time of the dy/season/weather? The best?
 
Astra2012 last decade
ok, forget the season-I found it.
Any experience with vaccinations?
 
Astra2012 last decade
Hello Astra

Thankyou for looking into my case. Yes I do like music - most kinds of music, from classical to rock I can enjoy. Except there are very few rap songs I like and that very heavy metal stuff puts me off.

What angers me most about other people is when they are nasty or rude to people.

When you mentioned nails I had a bit of a look round the internet - quite fascinating really. Anyway, my fingernails have ridges from the cuticles to the tips, I only have lunula's on about 3 nails and the tips of my nails have dark bands (from what I read it would be possibly what they call Terry's nails), my cuticles are scraggy looking. As for my toenails - my little toes have a fungus.

I don't know whether the vaccinations I had as a kid have had any bad affects on me.

A few other things I'd like to mention:
- I've heard that people sometimes put mercury or arsenate into pools - that may be what caused me to forget how to swim
- sometimes my hands get very cold - go yellow and have to warm them up in warm water
- I had a very bad infection once sometime when I was under ten - my doctor was apparently quite worried - I'll try and find out what it was and approximate age
- I guess the reason why eating healthy didn't make me feel much (if any) better was probably cos of my poor digestion.

I know I'm mentioning so many different things but I'm hoping it will enable the cause/causes and appropriate homeopathy/homeopathies to be found.

Thankyou Astra and Rajiv and anyone else who's taken the time to have a look through this stuff.

You mentioned that you love being by the sea. You like music. Now answer the following.Do you feel like dancing to music or would you if you had the energy? How do you like the colors red, yellow and green also black? Do you have a super sensitive skin? When you are angry do you get very angry? Do you sleep on your abdomen or in knee chest position? What about milk? Do you like it hate it or it causes indigestion? History of stomach cramps, vomitting etc.?

With regards.

Rajiv

Hi Rajiv

Yes it would be nice to dance, infact I'd like to go to dance classes in the future. I appreciate your concern but I think I might have somehow given the wrong impression about my energy levels - yes I feel tired all the time but I could dance if I wanted to though for not as long as most others my age. I guess I probably have the energy levels of the average 70 year old at a wild guess. What I mean is I can do things.
I like the colours red, green and black. Yellows pretty to look at but I don't think it would suit me.
I don't have super sensitive skin but I do get very dry hands and face, but I don't know if that's because I have twenty something minute showers.
When I get angry - I don't think I get super angry very often. I'd say I keep it more inside.
I sleep on my side. I'm not quite sure what the knee chest position is though I guess it's on your side with your knees on top of one another and pulled up to your chest a bit, which is how I sleep.
I like milk - it dosen't cause indigestion - but I don't drink much of it these days cos of what I've read about it - I chose to get my calcium from vegetables.
Only vomited a few times over the years and the only times I get stomach cramps is with my period.

Thanks Rajiv

Dear Courtney,

Sorry for asking so many questions.I hope it is not bothering you. But in homeopathy, it is very important to get all the symptoms as clearly as possible.
You mentioned in one of your earlier posts that you developed some fears in childhood.Can you tell what those fears specificaaly were and are they still present?Is it fear of dark,ghosts, unknown,heights,open spaces, closed spaces, of being all alone,parents will not return or anything else.This will help in remedy selection.

You mentioned you dislike eggs, but did you like eggs earlier and then developed an aversion to it? Do you remember yourself ever eating chalk or lime or being fond of its smell? What about chocolates? Do you like them? Do you like to sunbathe?When people are rude to you or someone you get angry. But how do you express your anger? Do you shout at the person or show your displeasure in any way or just keep your anger to yourself i.e. suppress it?

With regards.

Rajiv

Hello Rajiv,

No the questions aren't bothering me at all - I'm just glad that you and Astra are taking the time to look into my case.
Yes the fears are still bothering me but I'd rather not talk about them.
I don't think I've ever liked eggs. But let me qualify that - I like ommlets and if I mix a boiled egg with marmite (a vegimite type spread) and the usual salt and pepper and toast it's nice. But it's just the boiled egg with salt and pepper that I hate eating.
No, I don't remember eating chalk or lime or being fond of it's smell.
Yes, I love chocolates.
I don't really sunbath but I do like to get out in the sun.
If someones rude then sometimes I would say/yell something but sometimes I'd just keep the anger to myself.

Thanks again Rajiv

You should take Carcinosin 1M two drops or globules for a dose once every two weeks.It will certainly help to start the recovery process.Also avoid taking antibiotics or steroids as much as you can as they can prevent the homeopathic remedy from working.

All the best.

Rajiv
 
rajivprasad last decade
Dear Rajiv,

Thankyou for that. Out of curiosity I had a look round the internet for Carcinosin and looking at the 'symptoms' or whatever it looks to be spot on. Red spots, variocos veins, the fear thing was spot on, love of onions, my Dad's battle with cancer (which is now under control), diabetes in family and there were probably other things I can't remember.
At the moment I've got some herbal remedies: liver/kidney support, hormone balance, blood cleansing, digestion, sweedish bitters. Do you think it's possible any of them might interfer with taking the homeopathy - if so I won't take them. Or would it be OK just to not take the herbs on the day that I take the homeopathy?

Thanks Rajiv

Dear Courtney,

I was so happy to know that you think that Carcinosin seems to match your symptoms.I also think so.Beauty of homeopathy is that the right remedy wakes up the vital force inside which helps in healing the entire body,mind and heart and uplifts the spirits.You won't feel the need for these supports after a while. It is best if you allow the homeopathic remedy to work alone.As you have mentioned earlier you have had your vital organs flushed so many times and have taken various herbal protocols for so long and still haven't gained your energy back. Hence there is no point in carrying on with them specially now that you have decided to go for homeopathy.Give homeopathy a chance and see its miracle.

A word of caution.When you take the medicine you may feel worse for some time as the toxins and disease elements in the body start to get killed and the vital force starts to rally itself to eliminate them.Just have a little courage and faith in God and homeopathy and then see how your health improves.

May God bless you.

Dear Rajiv,

I look forward to starting to take the carcinosin. It might be a week or two though as I want to get one that's made from enough tumours or with the right type. Have you got to read the article about the different carcinosin remedies out there which therefore bring about different results in people?
This is the link if you haven't and would like to read it:
carcinosinum/intro.htm" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.tinussmits.nl/english/dynamic.htm?main=http://www...

Anyway I'll post back on progress/flare-ups or whatever as they occur.

Thanks again Rajiv

Annoyingly enough it looks as though that link didn't work. If you want to view it maybe if just copied and pasted it into google.

Dear Courtney,

Don't worry.I have read that article by Smits.

All the best.Keep updating me about your progress after starting the treatment.

Hi Rajiv,

Just an update. I've got hold of a carcinosin remedy - it's made from nine tumours and I'll be starting it tonight. So I'll post back with any symptoms or if after about a couple of weeks nothing seems to happen.

I read round the place about dosages. One suggested dosage was 2 or 3 pillules morning noon and night (3 dosages over 24hrs) another was 2 or 3 pillules on 3 consecutive evenings and then there was one that was like your suggestion of one dose so I'm not quite sure which to do. I greatly appreciate that you were able to point me in the direction of carcinosin but I was just hoping that if there is anyone out there that reads this who has experience in appropriate dosage with carcinosin if you could please post what dosage might be best in my case as I don't understand dosages. Are these variations in dosage important? I read a post where someone said that repeating a dose of carcinosim antidotes the previous one. So what's really true with carcinosin? Please post a reply if you know - even if it's after tomorrow because if this dosage dosen't seem to do much I can try again in two weeks time or so at a new dosage.

Anyway Rajiv I will be posting back as things progress it's just that with you having helped and cured about 250 patients I don't know how much experience you have with dosage with carcinosin.

But anyway thanks again Rajiv and thanks in advance to anyone who posts a reply to my dosage question.

Regards
Courtney

Dear Courtney,

Take two pillules early in the morning after cleaning your mouth with plain water.This is one dose.No need to take two or three times in a day or on consecutive days.

I have used Carcinosin with quite a few people and this is the dosage i used.It worked in all those cases.

Different doctors have different ways of prescribing.You shouldn't be worried about that.One dose is enough for at least two weeks to a month.We will repeat the dose as and when necessary based upon your report.

Rajiv

Hi Rajiv,

Thanks for your reply. I took a dose last night so I suppose that will do for a while. I do have one interesting symptom to report - I was asleep and woke up to my head jerking forward and a feeling similar to an object hitting the top of my head. Weird or what? Well that's all for now.

Regards
Courtney

Hi,
Well it's now been 9 days since I took the dose. I'm not feeling any better. Even if something is the correct remedy for a person in about what percentage of people does it take a while to work? I presume carcinosin 1M is a constitutional remedy is it?
I had another similar symptom last night. I awoke to a pain in my finger - like it was being crushed or compressed. In my last post I noted that it felt like my head was hit but more accurately my head felt like the top of it was being compressed or crushed.

Even though I don't feel any better I still think carcinosin is the correct remedy. Should I wait another few days before I take another dose? I was thinking that this time I might take on it 3 occasions like I mentioned in a previous post - what do you think? What's been your experience with people seemingly 'slow' to respond to carcinosin.

About 3 years ago I went to two homeopaths. I rang them up a few weeks ago to find out what it was I took. One prescribed thuja and I can't remember what the other one prescribed but I had them written in my medical notes. But with both of those I don't recall feeling anything - whereas at least this time I've felt the crushing feeling which hopefully indicates the carcinosin is doing something - good hopefully.

Thanks Rajiv
 
Courtney last decade
Dear Courtney,

Don't be in a hurry.Nine days are too little to judge about taking another dose.Carcinosin is a deep acting and long acting remedy.It will take at least three to four weeks before we can come to a decision to repeat.Don't ever take three doses in a row or something like that having started with a single dose.I would like to know whether this remedy is making any difference to your sleeping pattern, mental inhibitions, speech problem, energy level etc.Do you feel lighter, happier, more open to others etc. in any way.

The feeling of being crushed mentally may be leaving your system via the similar physical sensation.Keep me updated about the mental/psychological changes that you notice in yourself after taking the remedy.

All the best.

Thanks for sorting that out Rajiv.
As for any other changes I couldn't say for sure at this stage. But any changes in speech, energy levels, feelings etc that I do notice I will post.

Thanks again

Well it seems to be effecting my period. I had pains on the first, third, fourth and fifth day (today) - normally I just get pain on about the first and second day. On the first through to and including the fourth day there was very little blood - but today the blood's heavy. Normally it's most heavy on the first through to the third day when I have to get up during the night.

Have you seen carcinosin help to relieve a person of bad periods and were they helped in any other way? It would be nice to think that the carcinosin will help my period get better.

Regards
Courtney
