HTH< susan

oh yes, they gave him hyoscyamus too. this was all about 2 1/2 years ago.

BTW, my preg with him was hard, i had pneumonia for 3 months in bed, it was a viral case (i was a trauma burn nurse and got it from a patient). then i went into early labor and ended up in bed for another 2 months. then he was posterior, i had a longgggggg labor, and 3 hrs pushing. he was almost 9 lbs, and i had him vaginally at a birth center. when his head was out, on his own (no one was touching him), he turned his head to the side and looked at the people. he had head control from the getgo, and rolled over the first week he was home.

Susan,

Thank you very much for answering! It will take me a while to look over all this info, and then I will get back to you.

Snoopy

oh, and a question i have had, to get him to a good constitutional state...(i know i said that wrong), how would you tell (if a person is autistic, is it just they are autistic and calm).

I guess for a person with a developmental disability, we are looking for what (as to tell that constitutionally they are balanced)??

thanks, btw, do you understand what i mean????????

oh, and i remember the homeopath asked this.

he was my 6th pregnancy. my first 5 were miscarriages. after him i had 2 miscarriages, then my daughter(who is 3 years old), then 2 miscarriages, then my 4month old son.

i took some medication.....for the first 3 months i was preg with him.......the pharmacy made it and it was veryyyy expensive. i can't remember it for the life of me. it is very common. it was to keep from miscarrying.

susan

Dear Susan and David,

About Cina....David, didn't you think it was interesting, what Susan said about, "Must be fed!"
Cina eats and never gets full. They freak out if you don't feed them. Cina has dark circles around the eyes, which I think Susan mentioned.
Cina cannot stand to be touched or looked at--just what Susan said! They yawn. Did Susan mention yawning or am I imagining....Anyway, I'm inclined to recommend Cina. Of course I should add that Cina has the diarrhea and itchy anus.

Snoopy

Dear Susan,

I just now saw your question. After Cina, we would have to see what was left of your son's case.

Homeopathy can probably cure this child over a reasonable period of time, with improvement beginning immediately.

I'm just interested in hearing what David has to say if he's still around. And for that matter, Dr. Leela, Dr. B and anyone else who would care to comment.

Snoopy

thank you snoopy.

now if i could just get my son out of the house and into the car to go get the remedy !!!!!!!!

thank you for answering my other question about end result of const. remedies for those with dev. disabilities. what we found with our previous homeopath was that she could help us with a few problems (his babyhood aversion to bathing, no problem there now. and his hot sweaty feet, then, not now), but that nothing else would change. we thought that maybe this is an inborn thing that doesn't change, a la cerebral palsy, etc.

susan

oh yes, and he has had a headache every night lately, around 9 pm-10pm, i thought it was the heat, and dehydration, made him drink h20.

also, he has had a nose bleed every day or two lately, i think he picks it.

susan

Nose-picking is another Cina indication.

Do you have a preference for potencies that you use on your son?

Snoopy
