uncontrollable sugar cravings Page 3 of 3
This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Dear Caralyn,
There is nothing wrong with the science.It is just a very deep science and each individual is a deep mystery.That is how it should be.Isn't it.After all we are human beings.
That you felt better for three days on Saccharum 1M is definitely encouraging.It means that we may try some other potency.I suggest that you make a solution of Saccharum 1M in 500 ml of clean water which should be kept in a closed bottle.Then take one teaspoonful of this solution whenever you feel the craving returning strongly.To make the solution use 4-5 drops or 4-5 globules of the medicine.Apart from the sugar cravings also notice change in your mental/emotional symptoms.

Does the saccharum work for all sugar cravings? I have sporadic cravings for sugar that are literally uncontrollable. I can go for 2 or even 3 months and be relatively ok, and then suddenly the craving for sweet hits and I am literally eating anything and everything I can find. I suspect it may be some kind of hormonal imbalance, but it's so hard to tell because I can't reliably link the cravings to anything in particular (except that I do notice a general increase in cravings sometimes in the latter half of my menstrual cycle). Should I try to take the saccharum or argentum and see what happens, or would it be better to get my hormone levels tested?
Thank you in advance for any help that anyone can provide.

I know too much about homeopathy to know that there is more to finding the correct remedy than using one symptom as a clue. however I don't nearly enough to figure out my correct remedy. My cravings are very much like yours. I will be having my entire case taken as I know that I need to. I reccommend the same for you. The saccharum was not effective at all. I wish that I could have something more postitve to report. What I do know that is really good news is that there is a remedy that will work. "We" just need to find it :)

sacc.off is seen only to pallitate in this case..need look back to what symptoms were exhibited before anti-depressant use...this case deeper than sugar cravings and need be addressed as such..

Hello I know this is an old forum but I have related question regarding food and sugar addiction.
I took saccharum Official last spring in 200C form in water. It changed my neurological response to sugar. I gave my son the remedy as well and he noticed an immediate lack in desire for sugar. I then ran out and life got in the way and I was stressed and heart broken. I was not ready to commit to harnessing my food addiction/it was as if I almost forced my sugar addiction on myself again but still notice the change in neurological response...it just doesn't do what it once did for me. I started 200c again a few months ago after having lost 70 pounds and taking sugar and flour out of my diet having committed to eating 3 sit down meals a day that are weighed and measured meals (this is big for me because never grew up this way/latch key kid of single parent). ...but it was too late I had ventured away from my rhythm and food plan and found myself exhausted from having to feed myself meals. I was not wiling to allow the remedy to support me...I also took it addictivey like 200c two to five times a day for a while...if there is sucha thing where I think the rash I had on my ears flushed out (but then actually went away!?)
Anyways I began with 200x Sachrum lactis...I began eating like mad and dreaming intensely as if fears and insecurities I never even knew I had were surfacing (Kind of have a tough skin and a natural self centeredness/really move through life intuitively and trust my instincts..so unusual) I stopped
because I gained prob thirty pounds in two weeks(which has happened before /not unusual when eating addictively). But after a few months I went back on the Sac lactis200x...noticing change addiction to quantity is dulling...mellowing out with food losing desire to eat quantity addictively. Reallly struggle with fatigue whole life and after exercising...want to try the super high dose SWAN prescribes for fatigue but cant find the dosage anywhere can you help?
Also I had this break through last night. I feel overwhelmed about having to complete normal everyday tasks everyday/my whole life some due to the fatigue but realizing too... (after this want to take lac maternum, had read this one case study where homeopath talked about early infant trauma he senses sometimes leads to a soul not fully incarnating in this life)...that resonated with me. I am a very determined and sincere person ...I try so hard but just can never fully get in alignment to BE HERE fully on earth. My mother lost many family members when I was a young infant and believe I may have experienced incest at that early of an age...My mother also could not produce enough milk to feed me so I was a formula baby/same with my son traumatic beginning for him did not have enough milk broke my heart to have to supplement with formula. Anyways, Last night I realized the last bit of symptoms regarding childhood trauma are wrapped up in my major symptoms and frustrations of food addiction/when addictively eating I cannot eat meals nor prepare meals for my child we just graze and eat processed food when I am eating addictivly...I have no desire for real food. I struggle with a life time of fatigue (from earliest memories being two) and never being able to deal with life without feeling overwhelmed...just meeting my everyday needs feels impossible as if I have no support...never had an inner rhythm of care modeled for me long term. Dont want to pass this burden on to child.
People think that I am more energetic and functioning than I am.
I am non linear hard to focus but then hyper focus and again am driven and sincere amidst the chaos of this fog and fatigue that I live in.
hands are falling asleep that comes and goes... (caregiving for grandfatehr with dementia right now but by trade a massage therapist...think it is the weight right now reason for hands and forarms falling asleep) rhomboids/right is buggin me has to do with hand falling aseleep some out of breath from being so overweight fear having a heart attack or dying from this
feel panicked that if I dont get this together (I am 38) by the time I am 40 I will be trapped in trauma/trapped in the overwhelm of I just dont get life.
very slight edema in ankles/out of breath just walking even sitting
sleep like a baby...always...nap here and there wake and sleep in the flow of life never can keep a schedule...
Lachesis was original constitutional remedy
helped me forgive deepest betrayal ever felt that eventually in hindsight prepared me to deal with a legacy of sexual abuse and incest in family that I had no memory of at that time in my early twenties
Sulpher helps when getting sick
calc carb helped with energy and stench of stress years ago when experiencing urban homeless, fractured lower back, foresaken single parent but didn't really stick so to speak
Homeopathic dose of Peyote helped bring me into a more human demension at that time of my life as well ...was walking through city feeling like I was in and out of the dream and underworld...still to this day the peyote doses have stuck. Much more of a boring dimension but welcome it.
Magnesia Carbonica for the first time gave me a choice when angry to act out in anger or actually access/talk about real/hurt feelings
still rage burns hot and fast then laugh about it...or forget about what I was angry about... Nux vomica significantly shifted allergies when took it in the most sever allergic reaction...took it while living in toxic space for two weeks when left noticed allergies to animals was minimal...
Thank you for your time and thought
Oh also please note: at the time that I was homeless 10 years ago with 2 year old son for years I felt as if my mother could kill me and was always looking behind my back even though I escaped a DV situation with her and moved across the country. We have since found middle ground and are doing well sharing in the care for my grandfather but still the fear is slight..albeit it it is not relevant in our present interactions but the depth and potential is very much so real even though the reality of that rests peacefully.

Alkione, I was very moved by your post. I have a similar story. I have no homeopathic advice for you, though I'm a firm believer. Just a suggestion that you might want to look into heavy metal toxicity (specifically mercury) and systemic fungal infection - the two go together. I am on this journey myself. Also, Emotional Freedom Technique can be very helpful. Their website has a lot of free information so that you can do it yourself but if you can afford it it would be best to go to a counselor certified in it. Best of luck to you.
