9) ...And another one:
I found two case report articles which seemed interesting in the context of this case:
(1) Kenchington R.:
"Back from the edge"
__Homoeopath__63 (autumn) / 1996: p.624f.
.
....Descriptive Terms:
- Homoeop. drug, low back pain, substance abuse;
-drug therapy, case report;
-Mercurius solubilis, Cannabis indica, -> substance use disorder.
(2) Rothenberg A.:
"Out of body, out of mind"
__N.Engl.J.Homeopath.__ 6 (2-3) / 1997: p.105-8.
-Attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity, depression;
-case report, drug therapy, homoeop. drugs, -> substance use disorder
- cannabis indica
- It was not apparent to me what the "substance (ab)use" referred to; it could, but needs not mean consumption of "crude" cannabis. When they mention "C.ind." that apparently means the homoeo-remedy ued in this case.
- I do not have these papers, only found them as references. If you should be able to find them, or anyone else, I should be interested in their content. Only after previous experience here on this strange, lame board, when people could not even be made to help with papers from common homoeo-journals from their own countries for a mortal disease case, I refrain from asking anyone.
- If the same remedy did actually heal a well documented case where the suffering resulted or was connected with consumption of that same stuff in "crude" form, would of course be most interesting.
I heard about theories from various homoeopaths' experience that often people sort of crave for something ( in the "material world" ) which has the potential to heal or help them when given wisely in the form of a homoeopathic, potencised remedy ( chocolate, companion animal/milk, room decor. flower ... ).
And this "instinct" would then predate intoxication, so in case that should ( sometimes ) apply to the remedy "cann.", it would mean more then just an isopathic sort of repairing the damage done by the material substance.
But in general I would need to see good evidence before jumping into general theories, esp. if they look so tempting and sort of fashionable. But still it could well be...
