What family history is there ?????

Sometimes Homeopathic Phosphorous is indicated

"outgrown their strength " certainly made a huge difference to my son in law

But before you take anything a full history and full personality/ symptom picture needs describing <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Pat, I have just realised I have put 6 half stone as apposed to 9 half!!!
Anyway, his mum is very slender but small framed and his father, last time we saw him, is a very heavy man so he obviously takes after his mum. Apparently he is healthy. I have asked a million and one different people about this and they all say that it is healthier to be under weight and fit and I shouldn't worry. I don't but he does. A lot of people have said that as he gets older he will put on weight, he is 31 in a week and no sign yet!!!
There are no real medical problems in the family, only irritable bowel, which he seems to have inherited. I have tried him on meal supplements, supplements from Holland & Barrets. His is basically hyper, when he has eaten a meal he will jump straight up and clear away and never sits still, whereas I have to let my food go down. He does smoke dope and has done for years and I know this won't help so he's thinking about trying to give that and the ciggies up, but that is another problem.
I think I have thought of everything. Like I say, a real problem. We have been together for 8 years and it has taken me this long to try and solve the problem and i'm still trying in vain to find an answer, it's starting to irritate me!!!
By the way, what does 'outgrown there strength' mean?
