The child Alúmina eats his clothes and also it has desires to eat chalk, land and some other peculiar things.

In the Repertory he will find more remedies in the following items:

Stomach: Desires. Strange things.
Stomach: Desires: Lime, chalk, slate, land, clay....
Even I believe that the item exists Stomach: Desires: rags

The child Alúmina and the child Calcárea is in the habit of having these symptoms. Regards.

op,

You said in other post, you have to prescribe the remedy after taking full case.

If I wish to apply the remedy on that single symptom on my patient as well, as mentioned by dr. inam in his first post. Would you recommend it or not. I want to clear that symptom only in the patient.

No, Arshad, I do not recommend to prescribe just for one symptom, I
defend the single similimum for each patient, and for all life of that
patient! Never the prescription for just one symptom!
Without totality, the cure cannot exist. When we prescribe for just one
symptom we may suppress the symptom including we can save the life, and
it some times may be necessary, fortunately there is also a Homeopathy
of emergencies and "First Aid" but then we aren?t curing according to
the ideal that the homeopathy has about what is curing.
The Dr. Inam Mirza did a consultation about some symptoms that really
could be the key to find the similar remedy for a person, for a child in
this case, and that is the information I am bringing here, I am saying
in what rubrics we can find these symptoms, and what children are the
ones that may present these symptoms.
If your question is about if we should prescribe to remove that symptom,
my answer is NO, we have to prescribe to cure the person in totality,
but any symptom may help us to reach that similimum that will cure the
patient.
Did you understand me?

Regards.

Opium is saying wrong! She does not no the rules of homeopathy

The fact is

</font>

• WRONG CONCEPT: Never the prescription for just one symptom
  You can prescribe on one single symptom in homeopathy. There is no need of totality in all cases.
  
  WRONG CONCEPT: the cure cannot exist.
  
  The word "Cure" is not permitted in homeopathy as she is using in homeopathy. The word "Cure" has relation with disease and we don't treat the disease but the patient.
  
  In homeopathy when patients come to us and say I am suffering with such and such disease. We say to them "I will not treat your disease but you".
  
  We treat the patient and not disease. So what is the need of using word "cure". We actually RESTORE the health of the patients and not cure them.</font>

Dr. MAS: If you want to discuss a literal, such term and since I write the Englishman of evil, already I offer him my surrender :razz: humbly but with dignity, it always.
Now then, if you do not get stuck(do not get into a jam) in terms, but in the meaning of my words, I can clarify them:

Certainly that can treat with remedies homeopathycs for a symptom, even following the allopathic criteria, in fact many that are called homeopaths do it, you know it.
Since in many occasions I have said, the LAW OF THE SIMILARITY is fulfilled always, and if the similarity is applied with A SYMPTOM, we treat the symptom, and if the semajanza is applied with the totality, we treat the totality.

When I say to recover, (you put the term that he likes more), I speak of restoring the balance, and from my point of view, the human being is one and indivisible,(complete) in which there can no be imbalance of a part without imbalance of the totality and vice versa, there can no be treatment(healing) of a part without treatment(healing) of a totality, since in this case, treatment(healing) does not exist, but suppression.
Because of it I said, that never the prescription for only a symptom. It, to medicate the isolated symptoms, is in my opinion, to do allopathy with remedies homeopathycs. Also I said later, to except of cases of urgency or the first aids, since the first thing is the life.
I believe in Kent's aphorism that he says that any remedy not simillimum is the suppressing one. And I believe in the ideal one of treatment(healing) that the homeopathy has the potential of offering, a balance of the totality. For less, I believe that is not worth being a homeopath, the allopathy is not so bad to suppress symptoms.

I wait that you have understood the best what I want to say and in any case, am glad much of being able to debate with you.

Regards.

I deleted my reply to this post, as at first i did not realise you were looking for the rubrics. I was going to mention that perhaps the child has a calcium deficiency which is causing the craving for chalk. I had 3 pregnancies in quick succession, and breastfeed also while pregnant. I ate chalk throughout the pregnancy with incredible cravings, and it was not until a tooth fell out that I realised the calcium connection. After increasing my calcium intake, the cravings subsided. I also had good results with cal carb later.

Opium,

thanks for your excellent reply. I have noted everything.

Frankly speaking in homeopathy remedy can be prescribe on single symptom. Please correct me If I am wrong.

Opium, You are new comer at bb, You have no back ground of science. If you call homeopathic system a science then it must fulfills the whole criteria of science. If it is not science then don’t include it in science. :razz: In homeopathy most of the words which are permissible in scientific world have opposite meaning. :razz: But these are written in order to teach students about the concept of homeopathy. We don’t treat the disease but it is written some 800 hundred times in organon. Hahnemann used different words, in order to present different views and explanations. This shows that these words certainly have different meanings and explanations. Without knowing the difference one could not interoperate organon. e.g.


Remedy (93) Medicine (404) Drug (24)
Rubric Symptoms (65) Disease (800)
Combination (2) Compound (3) Mixture (17)
Aphorism Principle (10) Law (11)


How many times these words came in organon are written in parenthesis.

You are talking about law of similia. It is law for us but not for real scientist. :razz: They generally prove it with scientific method which this law does not full fills. The word cure is to be use to teach the difference of condition before medicine and after medicine. Just like disease word has been used 800 times but we don't treat disease.
