The above was a tongue in cheek way of showing that both Physicals and Mentals are important in my eyes. I try to look at a totality. This is not a Tub. personality! I have actually finished the repertorisation of this case and have come up with Sulphur for many reasons that I did not write about above.(Ezcema, tachycardia which is audible, visible, < movement, a total disinterest in clothes in a 7 year old girl is unusual, messy, hates washing, excellent appetite, lack of fears, intelligent, excellent vocabulary etc!!)

In an unpublished work of Children's Remedies by Tony Grinney, I found "....resents outside interference but shows itself more in that they are liable to weep, any attempt to comfort them will annoy them" From Herscu I find "When they become upset they may wish to be alone and not be consoled." This may explain the running off when things don't go her way.

It is interesting that Sulphur is a Grade A Anti miasmatic remedy for tuberculinum in Choudhury's "Indication of Miasms" book. I think this child may need Tub. at sometime in her life as a Grandmother had TB. Mother also has very hairy arms and although not a patient of mine she looks very Phosphorus which is also in the same Grade A list.

I agree entirely with you about the fact that knowledge of the Materia Medica is important. It is so very rare that I take the top remedy of a repertorisation. This one did however come out 2nd. After the initial repertorisation is when the work starts in the studies of many Materia Medica to be convinced that I am giving the correct remedy.

I learnt so much from Orka's patient through you. Please find the time to carry on the good work.
