Dear Allhomeo

It seems to me that the remedy chosen was correct and the potency given as well. It is not uncommon for a clinical condition to appear after the application of the homeopathic.Especially if this condition is a strong familly feature and would have erupted in any case. Remember that we do not treat names of conditions but people at all times and without exemption. Rest assured you have done the right thing if the child has improved overall. Mental/emotional and developmental symptoms would be landmarks of the right or wrong prescription given. Now that the child has developed diabetes this is your new status quo. Do not get alarmed if the child is overall better then before.Be steadfast if you have done the right thing and to not subdue to the paranoia of material medicine.Understand what is happening and inform the child parents so that they can be intelligent at all times. Too often are we as homoeopaths side tracked by the fear of the material world. It could be detrimental to the child to interfere materially if you had success with your Stramonium prescription. A new remedy would be indicated if there is no move in the child which indicates curative action. Here you have to be very pedantic to assess this. A 10 M may well act for 12 months or 18 months or longer. This is up to the individual. Once you have assessed proper direction in this case and cessation of action of your previous remedy it is time to look for the next homoeopathic. Be there a diagnosis such as juvenile diabetes or not or any other diagnosis this is not the primary homoeopathic concern. The similimum is the only concern.
