Dear Barb,

If it means anything, Hahnemann says to stir vigorously (the dosage cup). Only, use plastic (a straw, for instance). I've heard people say not to use metal.

Again, Hahnemann developed the LM's because he felt a month was too long to ask a sick person to wait. He said with the LM's, immediately, to use his word, you should feel a sense of well-being and calm a la Hering's Law.

I helped someone recently with a painful prostate with a 6C Lyc. three times a day.
He said after roughly a week, "The problem is still there, but I can cope now, I'm not freaked out about it." The last I heard from him, he was up to a 9C and "90-95% better."

So, it's exactly as Hahnemann said, we are, for the most part, prescribing much too high and depriving patients of the initial feeling of well-being that the LM or 6C would allow him or her. And if Barb is on the right remedy, it shouldn't take her a month to get to this point. But, apparently she's willing to stay with it and I wish her the best of luck!

I just wanted to say to Chris, that if you have an initial improvement and then the improvement stops, I think you're justified in increasing the frequency of the remedy, or the succussions or even going up to LM/2.

I was reading over some of the old posts on my first thread and noticed many of you refer to me as being hpersensitive and I am curious as to what led to this opinion.

Also, it has been 7 days since the calc nit - daily dose 2x LM1 10 succussions and no real ameliorations or aggros. Ovulation pain started today . But I do feel a bit happier in general - This could be that I am excited about the EFT stuff and have something new to occupy my mind. Anyway I am gonna stick with the calc nit for a few more days and see what happens, but would like to know if the thinking is still around carc or calc carb to try next?

Hi Barb,
I'm curious - maybe I missed this in following your thread(?). Did you begin with the Calc-nit because of the acute? If so, why LM? And if it was for the acute - and you're acute symptoms are gone (are they?) then why not stop taking it?

If you are taking the Calc-nit for your overall case - then why the hurry to switch to another remedy? (unless I misunderstand).

Switching rem's in too quick succession will confuse your case (chronically speaking).

If you aren't hypersensitive, then why not try the 30C's to see if you respond rather than starting off with the LM's (unless I missed something on that too)?? And then move to either a higher C potency (when indicated) or LM's if that is appropriate?

I do wonder if it wouldn't be better to have your case handled by ONE homeopath, Barb. You have some really nice people helping you out here , BUT, I think most would agree that since all seem to utitlise varying methods - you're apt to end up with a confused case.

And this is because, ultimately it is YOU who decides what you will take or 'try'. BUT, are you really in the position to understand all the approaches that people are coming from when they offer their advice? And how it could conflict if you teeter between one person's advice and another's midstream?

This isn't meant to offend anyone - not at all - but those things occured to me...and I am wondering about this as far as case-management goes.

Despite the fact that everyone has been posting quite peacefully and respectfully (even while not always agreeing with each other on the approach to your case) - it is rare to get a consensus/unanimous decision on a remedy at any given time.

Anyhow, hope this is taken in the right spirit . Just some thoughts and questions I was wondering about...
I hope it doesn't add more confusion here.

All the best,

PS Barb, I read up on EFT and I have been reading the 'free stuff' - the manual, etc..and it is veryyyy interesting, isn't it . I tried it last night for my sore shoulder..and about 95% of the pain went. Gonna try it again tomorrow when I get a moment to sit quietly and think about what I'm doing . Also gonna try it when I get another headache!!

I'm also wondering (like you) if it could interfere with the remedies!! If anyone cares to read up on it...and let us know (pretty please ).

I hope your house moving went well, I know that can be a very stressful event!

The calc nit hasn't done much,the only ameleoration I noticed was that first day and then it was a small percentage and only in regards to the anticipation anxiety. I have still been taking it 2x a day. I only have a 30c in dry dose - shall I take that? Like I said I do feel a bit happier in general though not sure if it is the remedy or other things - but am willing to keep trucking with the calc nit for awhile, though would like to try a 30c since I have it instead of having to order the 200c if that may work.

People have the perception that I react to all these remedies, I hope I didn't give anyone the wrong idea here. I have had Arg Nit, Sulph, Tub, Phos, Thuja, Nat bMur, Merc, Ars, Acon, and Lyc and the only remedies I had any reaction to was the Thuja and the Nat Mur and the Merc so I don't really think I am that sensititve to the remedies. With the Nat Mur I was given a 30C one day and a 200C the next so it is no bug surprise I reacted to that.

Lisa,
That is awesome about the EFT I actually just ordered all 3 series of tapes and will apply for certification, This just struck a cord with me. I am gonna try it on my neighbor for his back pain - wish me luck.

By the way - you have a beautiful family, and you sons eyes are just gorgeous.

Dear Barb,

use the 30c once a day for 3 days. That will help me to decide if it is right or was just a fluke. There are some other directions to go though,if it was.

Thanks David (ya know I have always loved that name - ever since I was a kid and heard the story of David and Goliath in grade school, My hubby's name is David and so was my first loves)

I'll take the first 30C tommorrow morning then.

Just wanted to mention that my computer is possessed and always crashes on me - so this is the reason why there are soooo many typos in my posts, cause I rarely have time to spell check before the stupid thing shuts down. Just wanted to let ya know that so no one thought I was lazy or just a bad speller - I'm not, just in a hurry to get my post submitted before - KAPLOWIE!
