Dear avsp and everyone, Well, you've succeeded with honors. My niece took three doses of Symphoricarpus 200 over three days and is now totally free of nausea. This is REAL medicine. She asked me to tell you "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" She's now ravenously hungry and eating everything in sight. Blessings on all of you. This young woman is now wolfing down food. At this time last week she said that she felt as though her stomach was turning inside out. I learn so much from you, and I appreciate it.

Dear Kathy,

I've never heard of this remedy, but I looked it up, and sure enough, it's got all the symptoms you mentioned: Smell and thought of food repugnant, averse to all food. Morning sickness and nausea is the only condition it's known for!

I will definitely be ordering this remedy.

Thanks,

Snoopy

Hi,

Yeah, I'll be ordering this remedy as well.
Thanks to pksinna and avps for recommending it and its clinical use. I wonder if either of you used the 1846 German edition of Boenninghausen's Repertory, Kent's Repertory, or (gulp !) no repertorization at all!! Just a good working knowledge of Materia Medica?

It is a last resort Remedy and as far as I know has only been used to palliate. Do not hesitate to repeat it if necessary.

It's nice to know, that even when one has acknowledged their misunderstandings, you'll be there for a bit of..er..nose rubbing Chris.
Well done to the finders of the remedy in this case.

Hi Ricky,

According to Boerickey, the 200th potency is curative and not palliative.

But if go into little bit of depth here, this remedy is little proved remedy. Need to have a thorough proving.

Just a thought.

Dear Louise,

What you project to be misunderstanding on my part are more probably areas in which I comprehensively DISAGREE with your interpretations.

I am talking about my own misunderstandings Chris, not yours...aarrgg.
I find it's generaly best to leave it up to other people to decide what they do and don't understand!
