There seems to be no symptoms in the case except for the diagnosis and the shock of the bad news,
for which Ignatia could possibly be the remedy, but you might ask him, "How do you feel since the bad news?" You have to treat this because it's the top layer of the case and an energy leak, which will further stress the liver unless it's treated. Check the rubric: Mind, News, bad news, ailments from.

If you can get this cleared away, find out what his symptoms are if you can find any:

Color of tongue--a yellow tongue points to certain remedies, such as Nat-sulph and Chelidonium.

Is there diarrhea?--Diarrhea stands out in Arsenicum, but profuse yellow diarrhea would make you think of podophyllum.

What color are the stools?

What was the cause? Think of Ars. for bad food and water. China--bad food and water with gas and bloating.

Gas and bloating? Think of China and Lycopodium
(Lycopodium--desires sweets but is worse for them)

The #1 remedy by the way is Chelidonium. Yellow tongue, possibly yellow sclera, itching, brown urine, white or yellow stool.

Do you have a therapeutic book? A book of differentials which lists the major ailments followed by the remedies that typically treat them and the necessary information for choosing a particular remedy? It would be good to have one or more of these. Roger Morrison has a good one called Desktop Companion to Physical Pathology.

In the absence of symptoms, an herbal tonic for the liver, and the cell salt for the liver, which I believe is Nat-sulph 6X, taken 3 or 4 times a day would be a good way to start.
