I continue to have re-occurring infections and need help to find the correct remedy. I seem to go round and round with sinusitis, conjunctivitis, vaginitis, gastritis, eczema on my hands, chapped lips and chapped patches on my face, ears itch in the canal and have been advised to have a root canal on my back bottom molar which flares up periodically. The right side of my chin has a numbness which could be a result of the molar.

My background is as follows:
I am 47 year old female, small framed, light skin. As a child I had frequent stomach aches and boils as skin eruptions. Around age 12-14 I had re-occurring tonsillitis that was treated with antibiotics which seemed to lead to dental caries, abcesses and tooth extractions. From age 22-24 I was on birth control pills which I discontinued because eczema on my hands started so badly. My legs retain fluid and swell by the end of the day . I have had spider veins on my legs since age 18 (possibly from the swelling). I take a multiple vitamin, C, E and Calcium daily. I am always cold. I was tested for thyroid which came back negative. I dislike milk. I like heat but totally wilt with humidity. I can easily over indulge in sweets or salty foods. After meals I become very tired. If I stay away from these foods I improve. I started to need reading glasses but sometimes I can see perfectly. If I am stressed I don’t see well. I am even tempered, quiet, don’t like dissention. The homeopath I was seeing treated me with phosphorus which helped lessen some of the symptoms. He tried calcarea c, calc phos, calc sulph for further improvement with no results. He didn’t know what else to try. On my own I have tried Nux Vomica, Calc Fluor, and Sulfur. I started taking a vitamin c with quercitin which has helped my sinuses.

I would really appreciate any and all suggestions.

Best regards,

In view of the ailents since the pill and the many remedies you've had there will be some clearing out to do.

China antidotes many remedies and would be the rx I'd go for first. Suggest 30c single dose and repost after ten days.

Agaricus has vision disturbances, swollen veins and cold skin, itching in ear along with pain in teeth and may be indicated later.

Please consider the possibility that something like the ingestion of Aluminiufrom cookware, foil, water compan treatment systems may be severly lowering your immune system
Often until you eliminate such things even the most correct Homeopathic remedy will not work

Good advice Frank, but have Mag c, mandragora, chelidonium, and lyc in mind after this, its a liver connection here,( sleepyness, have to lie down eating after, Lyc, Magn c.) but china migth clear that.

Thank you for your responses.
Is China the same as Chininum? If so, is there a specific variation? I am unable to find it in my listings?

Full name for China is China officinalis and the abbreviation for it is Chin.
Chininum is not the same.

Hi everyone,
just a couple of suggestions:
reishi, maitake, and shitake mushrooms are excellent for improving immunity. You can buy them in a combination capsule.
Also, have you considered Silicea?
Considering your small frame, pale skin, lethargy, quietness/timidity, chilliness, wilting in humidity and frequent infections and abscesses, it's a possibility...more info is neeeded though...I would first of all focus on clearing your picture since you have taken all those remedies...doing a detoxification program would be helpful first or do some drainage.

I took the China and many of the symptoms have stopped. My digestion seems to be irregular. Sometimes I'm constipated and sometimes it's very loose. Throughout the day I become very gassy and my stomach begins to swell and it's quite uncomfortable by the end of the day. Sometime I will have a bowel movement and it will relieve all the pressure and start again the next day. My legs still retain fluid. I'm 5'5 and weigh 112. My ear canal still becomes very itchy. My back teeth still feel like than can become infected at any time. My teeth build up a lot of plaque and my gums are sore when I floss my teeth. I have bitten my nails since I was a child. I sometimes have a milky type vaginal discharge. My skin tone has been very uneven. It is mainly the gaseousness that is very uncomfortable.

Best regards,
