This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
So I believe you are not advocating for allergy shots. I think we may lean towards that but then I would like to know that you will not let him suffer through the symptoms of allergies as you hope that Med is doing what it needs to to clear other problems.
Two other notes today. My son was drinking orange juice the last few days -- he said he has been craving it. I typically limit him to one glass a day because when he was younger he was allergic to oranges. He hasn't drank orange juice in about six months so I find it interesting that he now is drinking again.
Also, if you remember I said that my son use to talk while walking in circles...he stopped doing that after Med...well he started doing it again today.
Also, the last few days my son has increased his thirst significantly this past week and I forgot to mention it. I noticed it last weekend and this weekend...when he's home more, not in school.
I guess I'm confused as I am seeing a total different picture than you are.
I have been holding off the testing because he's afraid he's going to pass out when they take his blood. I have to go out of town the next two days and will arrange to do so later this week.
I am hoping you are correct with how you are interpreting everything because I am not sure about the household mold. My husband did speak with two different companies and we discussed what we did in the past and the testing we received and they felt comfortable with the status...mold has been rectified. I will let my husband know you are still suspecting mold (can you explain why you think this?) and that we should get the house retested.
Need to add that today he's been sneezing a lot -- hasn't done that in a very long time -- not even last summer since allergy shots.
Also, can you not only explain why you think mold and that it can't be just mercury. I'd appreciate it very much.

I was based on your old post about mold. I guess, you already did the testing and I did not know about it. I am happy mold is not an issue.
Did he start walking in circles while talking after the orange juice or before? My son had increased body movement after anything with lots of sugar in it, juice included.
Sneezing could be a sign of detox, cold virus or allergies. You have to help me to determine what it is since I do not see him. Is he hot?

when you say is he hot, i don't think you mean fever. In any event, he does not have a fever and tends to be a more chilly person. In terms of circles, he was talking with me and walking in circles and then later had a glass of orange juice. When I said, wow you haven't had oj in such a long time, he then said he's had the last few days as he has a craving for it. Remember, this walking as he thinks is something he has done for the past two years and it went away after the Med. Because of this, I wouldn't think it has anything to do with sugar as opposed to it helping him to make his brain function better to speak the words he would like to speak. I know that I have been trying to help my body get better and although I do not test as hyperthyroid (although I had many of the symptoms) it is not until I started taking some iodine, bladderwack and glonoine which helped me the most. I am feeling better than I have in a long time but I still have some repair to do. MY allergies were more cleaning products, dust and less outside. It actually prevented me from working the past six years...memory bad, brain fag etc. It also helped with my poor circulation and my anemia and low iron. It was not fun going through the healing crisis but now I feel better. I think we would have to do it much slower with my son as he can't afford to miss school. When I read about mold and mercury detox they mention iodum often, as well as other remedies.
I do think we should be looking at what we can do to build up my son's liver because as we do that it addresses detox and its impact on the liver.
I think my son is needing something for his liver right now...too many red flags pointing to a weak liver -- he is probably detoxing which is good but we can support the detox with remedies like iodum to support the liver and make less aggravations. Another one that I read about is maganum -- supports the liver and detox. I was told that many times with allergies, mold, mercury you treat similar to hypothryoid (which they say many children and adults have today and we don't even know it) -- in any event, as you help the thyroid the liver is helped with the same sort of protocol. I think it may be a good starting point as I believe his body is trying to tell us he something to help point us to the next remedy (or high potency of Med) -- can we at least see what comes up with the following symptoms. I will also look for some articles I read and pass them along. I know some of the remedies (not saying any of these are right, I don't know how to determine) for hyperthyroid are Lycopus, Ignatia, Spigelia, Iodum, Spongia tosta, Baryta carbonica, Ammonium muriaticum, Fucus, Thyroidinum, Badiaga, Calcarea iodatum, Ferru iodatum, Sulfuricum iodatum and Arsenicum album. Med could be one also for all I know. But they are talk about the need to work with more than one just to ease the detox. Let's at least see where these symptoms point us...it may be Med but at a different potency.
In any event,
we should see what comes up with some of these
-- stunted growth
-- chest tightness/restricted airway
-- hacking/cough
-- throat burning (this morning only)
-- post nasal drip (this morning only)
-- iron deficiency (to be retested)
-- constipation (new)
-- thirst
-- paleness
-- likes to lay down
-- little energy; sluggish
-- impaired cognitive skills
-- chilly (i think)
-- skin looks awful with acne
-- heel/ankle problems
-- aching muscles
-- melancholy
-- nervous/irritable - biting of nails
-- articulation may be impaired
-- introverted not wanting to be with people
-- hoarseness (in my opinion since Bartya Carb...his voice changed and became deep but I remember thinking theres a change in voice but also he's hoarse as well -- I actually thought a few weeks ago it was getting better and it seems to be almost back to where it was.

I agree with you on hypothyroid and on liver too. I do not want to select a wrong medicine here, because it would be too costly for his health. Thank you for the list of symptoms, however, it is still not enough to guide me to the new remedy. My concern is, it looks a lot like Med, however, I am certain it is not Med anymore. I need more clues, specific ones.
Please,describe as detailed as possible:
1.Constipation. Hard to pass or not anymore? If hard, does he have to lean back or bend forward? Stool looks like sheep dang? Little balls? For all I know it could have changed now.
2. Craving for orange juice. Is it really for oranges or sugar in it? It follows from what you said, he uses it for a few days now, so it could be increased intake of sugar that made his brain foggy again and body hyperactive (walking). Juice contains up to 32 grams of sugar, do you have other juices at home? It is not uncommon for people with low energy to seek it from sugar. If it is sugar, I know just the medicine for it and it will straighten his liver! Even if you are not convinced, could you, please, do me a favor? Give him real oranges and other fruits without restriction, but remove all the juices, candies, cookies, ice cream from home temporarily, because if it is a craving for sugar, he will turn to other sources. Then see, if he still walks while talking. Children can not recognize a craving for sugar, they think it is normal. Do not tell him all of that, just say you did not buy sweets yet, all I need is 2-3 days of observation.

I understand however I just got back this evening from being out of town and at school my son began to get a very bad stomach ache...and was letting out bad gas.
He came home and apparently went #2 and it was extremely squishy stool, it was then followed two more times with watery stool.
I just got home and spoke with him, he is in bed, and he says his stomach is in a lot of pain. I asked if other kids at school were having any stomach virus and he was not aware of any. My husband did speak with a mom who said that at work (a local hospital) there a lot of GI symptoms going around.
He asked if I could give him something to help him (I would typically look for a remedy that could help him). Please let me know if you could/would advise one
Once I get get situated at home, I will review in more detail you recommendation and look to address but in the meantime please let me know if we can help my son with his GI issues.
Thank you.

Sorry to hear that. There is no vomiting, I assume. I would stay away from homeopathy for now.
Is he still on charcoal? You can safely increase the dose up to 2 capsules 3 times a day. It will absorb gas and virus/bacteria. As a more aggressive measure there is olive leaf extract. It fights everything: virus, bacteria, yeast. Since he is sensitive, do not give more than 1 capsule. It should stop everything within 1 hour. You can get it in a healthy food store. It is a herbal medicine that was with people for 5000 years, but it is strong and safer than antibiotics. Give it only once and apart from activated charcoal.

It looks a lot like a stomach flu to me, - starting with sneezing, postnasal drip and throat symptoms, - ending with stomach problems. Olive leaf is perfect for that.
How is he?
There is an info on olive leaf extract: http://healthychristianliving.com/olive_leaf_extract.htm
I use it myself in emergency and always have it with me, I give it to my kids when there is cold or diarrhea. It is so strong, it kills everything within one hour.
But DO NOT give him more than one capsule, he has a high chance to experience a strong detox reaction. Any HEALTHY/SYMPTOMLESS person who never took it before should increase the dose gradually as follows: one capsule a day, then wait 2 days; one capsule a day for 2 days, then wait 2 days; 1 capsule a day for 3 days, then wait 2 days; 1 capsule a day for 4 days, then wait a week. If there is a reaction, it is usually mild headache, temperature and sneezing. The stool should normalize.
For those, who used to OLE, the dose can be increased to 2 capsules per day or every 3-4 hours if needed.
In case there is vomiting, it is a sign the toxins are in the blood stream and there is another good stuff for this: http://www.enzymedica.com/products/Virastop
Take it always away from food as often as one capsule every 3 hours, and it will clean the blood stream from toxins that caused vomiting.
I give it to my kids when they have stomach bug with vomiting, it reduces the virus duration to 6 hours only and they are ready to go to school next day.

It appears your son still hasn't been given the right remedy.
Are you wanting someone else to take over the case, as I am willing.

Yes I agree it is a stomach virus. I am not sure I would put the sneezing in with it but you know best...let's hope he stops sneezing after this.
He had two more stools this morning that were watery and the last one (3rd) had some pieces in it so I am hoping he may be on the up side now. Speaking with the nurse at his school it lasts between 24 and 48 hours.
I did buy the Olive Leaf and was going to give it to him soon. He last took 2 charcoal pills at 1:00p.m. Do you think I should give it to him now or wait and give it to him with food?
His stomach is queasy now but no more cramping which is a good sign.
He's drinking and he has not had any sweets yesterday or today. I plan to hold the sweets tomorrow as well. I will then see how he behaves by asking him to walk me through something (to test if he walks in circles or not). I can give you my opinion which is that I believe he is craving sweets...the reason I say this is that I haven't been buying sweets and he put some sweet items on the list and my husband bought them and he has consumed more than is normal. I think now that his appetite is not the greatest coupled with the fact I have been limiting things like eggs (and maybe homeopathy), he is now craving sugar more than normal. He does eat a lot of fruit too. The only juice we have is OJ which typically he does not drink.
Obviously I will not be able to have him be specific in regards to his constipation because of his current illness.
Thank you for following up. This Olive Leaf looks like it has many purposes and has some good results with many issues. Is this something we should consider for my son, on a more regular basis or do you think there is a potential for too much die-off symptoms?

I am confused on the timing here, just give OLE at least 2 hours later than charcoal. It does not matter with food or without since it is an acute situation, but commonly people take it on an empty stomach, if it is a common flu. I did not propose to use it for curing chronic condition like your son has, it is just for the acute cases like flu or diarrhea. All I meant to say: for people who are used to it, the dose can be safely increased and repeated, but for your son, it is not the case. It is your choice to use it or not on a more regular basis, but if you liked it and decided to do so in the future, you should follow the protocol of introducing it to your son to avoid a strong detox reaction.
By the way, there is David Kempson, PCH , who wants to take your son's case, if you are willing to give him a chance. I do not mind, it is nice of him to offer a helping hand.

Yes, I knew what you were saying but when I read about Olive Leaf it appears as though it may be something you can take to help you through many issues my son has.
I think I may actually wait on the Olive Leaf as if he is turning the corner and he can clear this in another day on his own, he may be better to do so without me having to worry what kind of issues he may have because he is so sensitive.
I am more than happy to have David assist however, he is also the gentleman (I believe, who has not kept up with me on my daughter's case) -- I want to feel confident that they are not just experimenting but looking to work towards completion.

My son is over his GI issue...no more diarrhea, last one was yesterday afternoon and no more cramps.
I will see how his stool is today and let you know.
Can you tell me if David will be assisting or taking over the case...another words will you still stay with the case? Will I expect to hear directly from David?
I notice that several times you have stated that you know that my son no longer needs Med...what makes you feel so confident with this? I am just curious. I don't know how potency really works but I have read many cases, similar to my sons and it seems as though all involve Med at 1M in these cases...I know my daughter and I both had 1M too. How does 30C (wet dosing a few times) compare to taking 1M?
There is even one case where it was interesting but it says that they find that cases which are progressing nicely but then result in anemia/blood issues Med 1M helps...here's the case.
http://www.encognitive.com/node/4825
Just found that quite interesting.
I also wanted to let you know that my son still has that clearing of the throat but his sneezing may have abated...crossing my fingers.

I take that back, my son has sneezed approx. 50 times already since I wrote you earlier. I really do think the sneezing is indicative of his allergies (eyes are beginning to get that redness).

Mold Inspection.
We have officially had the house retested for mold from an independent mold inspection company (they don't actually do the remediation but provide remediation needs to a remediation service provider). They did testing in my son's room, the actic above his room and the basement (finished side and unfinished side) and stated that there is no mold issue that needs to be addressed.
I guess it was worth the $300 to confirm and feel 100% comfortable that there is no issue.
Just wanted to make sure you were aware of the outcome.

I actually had posted on your daughter's thread, asking you to get 1M of the Nat-mur, since she seemed to have improvements from the 200. I was waiting to hear back from you. If you want to post again on that thread we can continue.
I will only jump in here if both practitioner and patient are amenable to it.

Thanks David.
I believe the Dr is more than happy to have your assistance as she first wanted to make sure I was okay with it. I am more than happy to have you assist.
Please let me know when you feel you have read all of the information from the past postings and let me know what questions you may have.
Since you are aware of my daughter's case, you may see some similarities although they present differently (my daughter has ADHD and auditory learning deficiencies and my son has allergies and asthma -- but they both are very sensitive individuals who become quite introverted as a result -- they also both become quite lethargic and can't not endure too much activity as it drains them quickly). May not be important to you but I do find it interesting as I observe them.
As indicated above here are some of the current symptoms, so to speak updated as of today. New one is sneezing which started a few days ago which I think is due to his allergies.
-- stunted growth
-- introverted not wanting to be with people
-- chest tightness/restricted airway
-- hacking/cough
-- iron deficiency anemia (to be retested)
-- constipation (new)
-- paleness
-- likes to lay down all the time even if its to do homework.
-- little energy; sluggish
-- impaired cognitive skills
-- skin looks awful with acne on both cheeks (does look a lot better than when he initially took Med - now more like what he got when he took Baryta Carb -before then he never had acne.
-- heel/ankle problems
-- aching muscles
-- melancholy
-- nervous/irritable - biting of nails
-- articulation may be impaired
-- hoarseness (this is difficult to tell since he is at the age of pupity but I hear the voice deepening from change in life but I also hear a hoarseness -- this hoarseness got a little better the last few weeks but I feel like he still has some.
Again, just let me know details you need

Please let me know when you feel you have read all of the information from the past postings and let me know what questions you may have.
Since you are aware of my daughter's case, you may see some similarities although they present differently (my daughter has ADHD and auditory learning deficiencies and my son has allergies and asthma -- but they both are very sensitive individuals who become quite introverted as a result -- they also both become quite lethargic and can't not endure too much activity as it drains them quickly). May not be important to you but I do find it interesting as I observe them.
As indicated above here are some of the current symptoms, so to speak updated as of today. New one is sneezing which started a few days ago which I think is due to his allergies.
-- stunted growth
-- introverted not wanting to be with people
-- chest tightness/restricted airway
-- hacking/cough
-- iron deficiency anemia (to be retested)
-- constipation (new)
-- paleness
-- likes to lay down all the time even if its to do homework.
-- little energy; sluggish
-- impaired cognitive skills
-- skin looks awful with acne on both cheeks (does look a lot better than when he initially took Med - now more like what he got when he took Baryta Carb -before then he never had acne.
-- heel/ankle problems
-- aching muscles
-- melancholy
-- nervous/irritable - biting of nails
-- articulation may be impaired
-- hoarseness (this is difficult to tell since he is at the age of pupity but I hear the voice deepening from change in life but I also hear a hoarseness -- this hoarseness got a little better the last few weeks but I feel like he still has some.

I had suggested to look at David's opinion since I respect it.
After a mistake that this chiropractor made with my son, I took him to different homeopaths also, including Dr. Herscu, who's opinion you respect so much. He did not come up with any remedy and said that his case is complicated.
Each case is different, but deserves to be looked from different points. The appropriate thing to do is to give the case over to the doctor, who has the best answer. And it is up to you to decide it. If your decision is with David I am totally fine with it, because it is in your son's best interests, and I am supportive. However, if you want to hear from me in a long run or want to be sure I peek at it sometimes, just keep the same thread or post the name of a new thread here so I can find it easily.
I know David does not drop his patients, he is just very busy ... and so am I, giving what is going on with my son besides my work.

It is a difficult case and I can see that. I hope Lylla in offering to help I am not casting any doubt on your ability to prescribe. I am not saying I know I will do any better, but sometimes a second perspective can be quite helpful.
I appreciate your kind words.
David

I would very much like to have David's opinion. As I think to have different points of views can only help to clarify and sometimes redirect as needed. I guess I am just not sure I know what Lylla's answer is in terms of next step. It would be nice to have your thoughts in addition to David's so I can consider both perspectives. Who knows, maybe it may be a hybrid based on the two.
I am so sorry to hear that Dr. Herscu was not able to help you and quite frankly that is disappointing. It is also sad to hear that a chiropractor made matters worse but I can definitely see that happening as I think that may have happened a little with my son. The doctor who initially prescribed Iodum, Rhus Tox etc. has in my opinion made my son worse. On the other hand, it may only really be that he has brought out things that needed to be healed that would have always stood in the way for him to have the most fruitful life he can in the long run. I continue to pray for you and your son. I am sure with a mom like you, he will see a recovery.
Thank you both for willing to help my son.

I believe you are speaking of eczema which he did have. I can't say with 100% certainty but I know he had cracks in most creases (i.e. neck, back of knee, arm etc.) I think he may have had some behind his ear as well.
Also, I notice the last few days he is not complaining about his muscles or heels, like he was before. BUT his back of neck/shoulders are thighs and sore.
He has not gone #2 since last diarrhea bout the day before yesterday.

Today's Update...just wanted to let you know he still has not gone #2. He does seem to be eating a little more...yeah!!! He is still sneezing but actually I have not heard him clear his throat/cough yet today.
His acne on his cheeks is beginning to reduce in number -- not as inflamed nor red.
He is also playing basketball in his room once again which means he is definitely getting his energy back. Also, the first in a long time...he went outside with his dad and played some basketball which he hasn't done since summer. It is weird though, if you look at his face, he looks sick...eye's very puffy underneath -- almost that thyroid problem you detect in people, looks like he's had significant weight loss in his face not just his body. Color is not as pale but doesn't have the best of color yet either.
I am hoping he will continue to increase his appetite so he can gain some much needed weight.
I definitely have read much on suppression of eczema which results in many instances into asthma. That is probably what happened to my son. What bothers me is that he has just endured a few months of 'downtime' and for what I read, he would probably go through a worse period and maybe even longer period to heal the next layer...is this consistent with your knowledge? I would say that he definitely had eczema but he did not have a severe case...I would actually put it on a scale of 1 to 10 -- low, maybe 4.

If you mean his eczema should return, - yes, it should, but then it would be treated properly with homeopathy, so it is going to be OK.
When you say his eyes are puffy underneath, is it dark circles?

Lylla last decade
No not dark circles -- he does have that but under the swollen area. I don't really remember seeing this on him before (not sure though)...I don't even know how to explain...I'll try.
Its like the skin directly underneath the eye is inflamed (not red but just puffy and therefore he has darkness but underneath that. I don't know why but you know how sometimes people who have thyroid issues present with bulging eyes...its more like that. Again, I don't think this is something I remember seeing him have before.

Lylla or David,
I have a general question that I was hoping you could help me to understand. Is it possible to take a remedy which actually suppresses your illness/condition and makes you feel good/better but actually impedes the curative process. For example, could you have a skin condition which may need to bring out a rash or other skin condition and could you take Lycopodium or Belladonna (for example) and feel much better but only because it suppressed your condition instead of allowing it to aggravate and thus help to heal your condition.
I often read that homeopathy will only help to allow the VF to get a nudge and can not hurt you...if this is true then in my opinion the wrong homeopathy can hurt you instead of help you.
Thank you.
