THANK YOU David! That makes more sense to me (considering I'm just chewing and chewing on this very subject, of late!)...and Thanks, Divina for telling me to look here - as this does relate to what I was trying to better understand!

Tania - hang in there - I know it isn't easy - all this...hope things will be resolved with your child soon .
Take care,
Lisa

Goodness all this discussion is very interesting. I would love to feel a little more intelligent and understand exactly what all these different miasms are. Is there a relatively simple reference document that a very tired and busy mother and business woman could read that would help me to understand.

The practitioner I went to is no longer practicing.

I finished the course of the new remedy with no visible results, although at the moment is behaviour is just difficult not unmangeable, except for two out of the last three nights he has woken in the night, and wanted to get up and watch TV run arounfd the house. I have taken him into bed with me to get him to sleep. His sleeping has been excellent for the last month or so and when he has woken in the night he has been very sleepy and just needed a kiss and the blankets pulled up. I also found him asleep on the floor about a week ago which really surprised me as he has traditionally been a light sleeper. Last night he went to sleep about 9pm, came into bed with me about 2 and was awake at 5.

I have given him the last dose of Med this morning that I had.

Note Davina I was not giving the Med to him monthly. I have been giving it to him as the results have worn out, which works out to about monthly.

My GP is also a homeopath, although admits she is not practicing it full time as the majority of her work is GP work. She is very natural ie no vaccinations, anti biotics etc etc. I an sending her the bottle to see if she can work out what the dose is I have been giving. I think it has 1m? at the end and I have been giving 6 pills a dose. The behaviour that she has noticed with him in our visits to her (where he is generally good) is restlessness. He is not good at sitting still and does not stop on one task for long, although the entire time I have been on here this morning he has been watching the wiggles (after med?)
He does not often watch TV for more than a few minutes, unless it is music videos. He also prefers to get involved with adult activities rather than playing with toys. It is very rare for me to find a toy that he will sit down with for an extende period of time. At xmas we gave him a car wash and he would have played with it for an hour while there was still a pile of prsents to be opened. He still likes to play with him, but normally for a couple of minutes at a time.

ANother interesting trait with Will at the moment is a very great love of music and singing. He can sing our entire national anthem at the age of 2 and a half, and learnt it within a week. he has a repertoire of about 20 childrens songs.
He does not appear to have any exceptional dancing ability though it is the singing he loves.

HELP. I obviously should not have administered Med so soon after the other. He has spent most of the day screaming. I am trying to get hold of my GP, any ideas.

He has settled down, and was very settled this evening, about 12hrs after administering the med, in fact delightful.

Might be a good idea to dilute the remedy in water next time, to help reduce the aggravation.

To explain it simply (although Homoeopaths everywhere struggle with the whole theory of miasms), a Miasm is an inherited predispostion to illness, in a similar vein to the theory of genetics. If the illness is the weeds in the garden, then the miasm is the bad soil. Until the soil is tilled and fertilised etc, the weeds will keep growing back. Weeds grow in poor soil that nothing else will grow in. Homoeopathy revitalises the soil.

Miasms are one of the most difficult parts of homoeopathy, to learn and to put into practice.

Hi Tania,

I just want to quickly touch on a couple of things--

The 1M seems high!! Now that it is clear that you gave as necessary, did you happen to notice that the ameliorations would lengthen in time as you gave the remedy? Or have they basically stayed the same length of time?

I am sure the last dose of Med caused an aggravation--which you had to endure!! But then the boy calmed down. I think he should be watched for the time being, just to see how long this present state lasts...and if you find that it is longer in duration than the last "good spell", well, then we will know that there is only a potency issue with this remedy--and it is acting as it should.

This thing about singing...you mention that this has started "lately"... do you mean, after the medorrhinum? Or after the hyoscyamus dosing? How often does he do this? Any favourites he likes to sing more than others?

or has he always loved to sing?

Divina

I beg to differ. I was dosed with ever increasing potencies of the wrong rems for over three years. My homeopath bragged that one dose he gave me was the highest he had ever used; it lasted eight months and I felt every bit of it. According to David Little, this kind of prescribing can cause serious damage to the vital force and is the most difficult type of iatrogenic illness to treat, sometimes requiring years before the damage is undone. It is a miracle that I have been able to recover at all, and this is why I'm so outspoken about this type of dosing. Most people probably will not be affected by the wrong rem but there are many "sensitives" like myself who feel everything, and the higher the potency the worse the effects.

Once again thankyou every one for your responses. I am finding this an enormous learning exercise, whilst being confused. david your explanation definitely helped.

davina the little bottle had about six doses in it.

If anything I feel that the period between doses has shortened rather than lengthened. Unfortunately I have not diarised it. The first dose we gave was in July last year.

his singing started round about the same time, but I suspect is more developmental, ie he learned to sing the alphabet which he loved. He tends to focus on three or four songs at a time and then once he has mastered them he moves on, ie he rarely sings the alphabet now unless we prompt him to.
Currently it is God of Nations (our national anthem) Three Blind Mice, mary had a little lamb. Often he will just wander around the room singing.

His sleeping was starting to deteriorate again, but last night he slept all night in a very deep sleep.
