Calc Carb Person

Based substantially on the description in Bailey, I consulted with my Calc Carb cat and asked her what her complaints were. This is what she told me:

The timid oyster, safe inside her shell
Don’t mess with the routine she knows so well

More likely a lady, pleasingly plump,
Who redefines what’s food then can’t take a dump

Fat, fair and flabby, a sight to behold
The hotter the better, she’s always so cold

Simple in thought, nothing too profound
A homebody at heart, simple pleasures abound

Gossipy, nurturing, passive, complacent
She’s eager to please, keeps her loved ones adjacent

Stubborn and plodding and apprehensive
Easily offended but quick to forgive

Thirsty and hungry a common condition
Lying around is her favorite position

No exertion for her, too physically weak
Calcium carbonate is what she must seek

Kent tends to go on and on...

Do not take this remedy frequently. Once a week maximum. It proves itself easily.

If you are that sure you are Calc Carb, then why not one dose of 200C and then wait a month.

I don't remember the name, but there is an excellent paperback devoted to just homeopathic treatment of eczema. Might be worth purchasing.

Sticky, yes, that is the book.

Sticky, I'm probably speaking out of turn here. I hope one of the experts pipes up.

I understand Calc Carb to be fairly long acting and with the potential to aggravate if taken too frequently.

My own eczema, once the right remedy was found, went away after a single 200C dose. It was my constitutional and doesn't show up on the regular lists.

Maybe what you need to do is to post why you think you are Calc Carb.

Sticky, I can thank my homeopath for the answer. I never would have stumbled on it on my own, and it was at the end of lengthy treatment for other issues.

At one point, when we were both becoming very frustrated, and knowing I had developed an interest in homeopathy by then, she asked if I had any thoughts about it. My short list at that time was Graphites, Sulphur and one other I don’t recall. She was adamant I was not the Sulphur type and although I might improve briefly she thought for sure it would be followed by an aggravation. Since then, because Sulphur is so commonly recommended for rash, I have been leery of the simplistic approach to eczema treatment, but which I mean going with what statistically has tended to be the most useful to others for rash only and ignoring the larger picture. We did try Graphites. At the time my situation was complicated by a concurrent case of poison ivy in the same area I had the eczema (which produced the honey discharge associated with Graphites). Graphites did seem to help initially, but then it came back or got worse, I don’t recall.

One thing the remedies which did not work or which we did not try had in common is that the location of the remedy’s rash was not associated with places where I had it. I think that might be an important point to keep in mind. My rash was entirely limited to my legs and arms, and almost all of it was my lower legs. So, “scalp”, “crook of the elbow”, places like that simply did not match closely enough.

It was a manganum derivative (not strictly manganum) which eventually worked for me. Many of the manganum remedies are very new and information, and for that matter the specific remedy, is difficult to come by. My homeopath pegged me early on as a mineral remedy and that is all she has ever tried on me. Jan Scholten’s book, Homeopathy and the Elements, is a very pricy source of information.

I have the Logan book but I haven’t delved into it very far because I didn’t need to, but it may well prove useful to you. It has been well recommended. It still doesn’t list all the possible remedies for eczema.

I don’t know if any of this helps. Eczema is difficult enough for a dispassionate experienced homeopath to treat in someone else. I would think it would be nearly impossible to treat oneself, at least if it were an uncommon remedy or you needed other remedies ahead of that one. You do want to be careful not to suppress your condition, although relief from the eczema may be worth it.

Then I'd recommend getting Philip Bailey's Personality Profiles ($17 paperback). It does a great job of the mental side of CC and a number of other major remedies, and it might help you narrow down your choices. Besides, it is fun to read. My cat really was the poster child for Calc Carb. However, there was quite a while I thought she was Silica instead.

Just read your description now. You do sound a lot like what I associate with CC, but I'm not familiar enough with the other possibilities.

The nutshell description is "fair, fat and flabby". Some people can be fat and fit. CC isn't always overweight, but if so, it should be a flabby, out-of-shape kind of fat.

My cat had a bowel problem called "megacolon". A lethal constipation where things just stop moving. There were a number of things, that one included, that I think went quite deep to some kind of possible calcium metabolic dysfunction. The last suggestion I was given (before she died), by a cyber homeopathic vet, was to try the Schussler 12 tissue salt combination, which has I think 3 calcium products. It is supposed to be safe enough to take every day. I don't know if calcium is implicated in eczema, but if you are CC, it might be worth keeping in mind.

If I remember, I'll check tonight to see what logan has to say about eczema.

Good luck!

(I mean, what Logan has to say about CC for eczema...)

Logan's book is a wealth of information, including recommendations on a dosage regime. Here is some of what he says about CC:

One of the most commonly indicated remedies for eczema with itching that is not worse at night.

Characteristic Eczema Symptoms: Eruptions on the occuput, scalp and flexures. Crusts and scabs with bland pus. Eruptions worse from washing. Worse in winter. Cracking that is worse in winter. Bleeding after scratching. Eruptions may be in patches, vesicular, crusty, dry and desquamating. Milk crust. Eruption in and around umbilicus.

The Itch: Not usually intense itching. Itch worse in the morning in bed. Itch on perspiring parts - must scratch until it is raw. Itch can be better, worse or changing place on scratching. Worse after bathing.

... and much more.
