I was given Silicea 1m Single does...it has been close to 4 weeks and I have had really bad effects from it. I would like to know what is the best antidote for this type of deep acting remedy to possibly reverse the effects. My head feels numb and I feel emotions can not enter freely in my mind, i also feel very hot. I have tried antidoting with coffee and inhaling camphor but it only gives more aggarvations. Any suggestions??????

Please do a google search for "The Aggravation Zapper" by Diane Fuller for directions on how to undo the damage.

In case of aggravation it is usually advised to take a fresh new case and prescribe accordingly. However, the known antidotes to Silicea are : Flouric acide, or Camphora, or Hepar sulph. Your choice depends on which of the three remedies match most to your current symptoms

Take "PULSATILLA-30" one dose daily in the morning to get quick relief.

(1)take syndrome in area of concen--consideing modifying factors --and base prescription on that----

(2)now if u qwantkeep ur head right so as not lose any ground--if all this is new never occured before in health history--then this ur guide to nextremedy---take that in accoubt as welll as bigger pic--and u be riding the better trail than optn #1 i mentoned

Well I dont know how to go about this and yes I realize that homeoptathy can have some serious ill effects on a person if wrongly perscribed. It has been close to a month and I am trying to figure out a remedy that will reverse the bad effects of Silicea. In my opinion it is one of the worst remedies and I would advise anyone to keep away from it.

I also appreciate the ppl who replied to my post. Right now I feel like silicea has really effected my emotional state and I also feel very hot and sweating takes place on my hands and feet. The strange thing is that every time I try to antidote it...it seems to come back even stronger...I am thinking of trying hepar sulph 6x to see if that might help to offset some of its effects. I would not even consider to take any more remedies for a long long time and see if this gets out of my system on it own.

Any input on this will help.

When you say, "every time I try to antidote it..." what do you mean, exactly? What are you referring to, camphor and coffee? It shows that we can't rely on these methods.

It seems you are apparently proving silica. It was given in too high a potency, it's not a bad remedy, per se. Our motto in homeopathy is "the minimum dose", but no one takes it seriously. There is nothing "minimum" about a 1M.

Hopefully this will act as a warning to anyone reading this thread. Just because the average person can take a 1M and nothing happens, that doesn't mean that hyper-sensitive people don't exist and aren't out there.

If you start with low potencies and the patient doesn't respond, you can always go up. But if you start high and get an aggravation, how do you go "down"? You can't. So you've caused a crisis unnecessarily.

I would seriously recommend that everyone do a search for and read "The Aggravation Zapper" by Diane Fuller, otherwise, you have no way to manage a case like Taimur's. This happens a lot in practice, unintentional provings and aggravations and you can't just hide from the patient when he or she keeps calling for help, though this is what I've seen happen many times.

Do you know what high potencies are for? Acutes, injuries, viruses, burns.... Give a 1M to a person with a head injury or snake bite and watch the magic unfold. A person with chronic disease, on the other hand, has an entirely different energy. The "disease" is slow and plodding. The energy of the disease doesn't match the energy of a 1M. It's more in keeping with the energy of a 6C three times a day, or a 12C once a day (and by the way, in water with succussions before each dose. See the Organon #247).

hahnemann tells only hepar sulph dilution will affect unwanted silca symptoms --he recommened smelling the dilution--also he mentin camphor showing limited results---u need figure out what dilution to use---

Dear Taimur The big question here is "Where is your homeopath?",Why has this nOT been addressed by your practicioner?

Gina, yes, it is most likely as I said, they hide. I've seen it happen many times. They are married to the high potencies. When someone complains that they are now worse from the medicine, they are brushed off or told to drink coffee or inhale camphor. That is the end of it. The Organon clearly states that high potencies are inappropriate in chronic disease in several aphorisms (for instance, 161 and 276), that aggravations are not to be sought in chronic treatment, that the so-called "homeopathic aggravation" is in reality a mistake in potency selection or number of repetitions. But sure, it would be interesting to hear what the practitioner has said or done about this. He probably prescribed the coffee and camphor, yes?
