EXPERIMENTS!

Single dose in any potency and wait. But the higher work faster and deeper, so a 200c is good to start with. Let us know your progress. My experience tells me that if the patient recognises him/herself in the remedy, that it is usually the right one. So if it is not Nat.m. and you get no relief, no harm is done and you can then retake your case. With repeated doses of the lower potencies you will cause more changes, which then results in having to antidote. Such a procedure then gives you a changed remedy picture, as the original state is lost and prescription become so much more difficult.

thanx guys , who actually tried to help me. I appreciate it. I will let my homeopath decide what to do.
GM, I have noticed that you often reply in this manner, attacking people. I have shown that I am not a homeopath, and was looking for advice and general opinions. You make me feel ofput as you are very hostile. It would be better if you explained your negative views in a more balanced way so we can actually learn something instead of being left feeling bad.

GM did you learn anything about bedside manner and treating the patient as a whole, ei the emotional being also? I think a little humility would be good , instead of wounding people's emotion.

i am wondering if obesity is something that can be treated successfully homeopathically, or whether you would aim more for the constitutional remedy. I am seeing a non classical homeopath who doesn't want to target in on it, which i understand, but i did a little research myself, and came accross one remedy which covered all of my problems, not just being overweight. it also seemed as if it was suitable for my type of personality. it was Natrum Mur.
any comments?
also does anyone know if a severe lack of minerals and vitamins could cause obesity and depression?
thanks!

also, if i were to try out Natrum Mur on my own, would i be better off starting on a low dose or a high one, like 200 or 1M? if a low dose like 6 or 30, would it be best to take a continuos course or as a one off, or for a few days?
thanks

Consider these remedies:
Fucus-for obesity, thyroid support.
Calcarea Carb-for a sluggish metabolism, excess hunger.
Natrum Sulpher-support for metabolizing fat.
Graphites-for the stout built person with a large appetite.email me if you want more info.

Certainly sounds very much like thyroid to me

Nat mur is often indicated

But for some reason I do not understand with Thyroid patients cure can be very difficult

This is because in hypo-thyroid the readings for 2 different hormones are exactly opposite (I will post later which 2 -don't have the book here). Thus there are 2 conflicting messages, which are very difficult to sort out for the body. Also once the gland is swollen. it is more difficult, but I do not know why - possibly the same reason.

Those so disparaging about experiment, should remember that hahnemann had nothing else and that every proving is an experiment. It is the core of scientific investigation and homoeopathy would not be where it is today without experiment. So there is no need to feel bad, except by those that make unfounded remarks, based on a poor fund of knowledge.
