Dear Tania,

what potency are you using? If I were the homoeopath, I would probably get you to try a higher dose. It may not be strong enough at its current level to effect a permanent cure.

A remedy cures by creating an artificial disease of the same type within the person. Since 2 diseases of the same type cannot exist in the same person at the same time, the real disease vanishes, and then the remedy does too, leaving the patient free of symptoms. However, if the potency is not high enough, or the remedy is not exactly right, it leaves behind just enough of the illness to grow back, just like weeds in a garden.

If it is not a matter of potency, then your son will need a complementary remedy, I would take a guess at Thuja, but it could be any of the related remedies. You should probably contact the homoeopath who made the prescripton in the first place.

Have a look at my thread "Search for the one true remedy" to see why this homoeopath may need more time to work with your son.

Good luck
