Hallo dear members (and be indulgent with grammar errors, english is not my native language)

I just joined and I would like to ask you a question. Let me say first that I am not seeking for any medical or homeopatic _specific_ prescription: I just want to know if what I am about to explain can have a homeopatic treatment and, most significantly, any holistic explanation that I suspect there MUST be, and yet "official" medicine ("official" with NO disrespect implied!) does not recognize this pattern as meaningful or as etiologically explainable.

I am 38, male. Since I was a teenager I suffered of a common "ailment" which is cystic acne: that is, acne that shows a tendency to form underskin masses slightly bigger or inflamed than normally expected. It has arguably a relation with hormons, though I never found a clear medical explanation.

Now, at 38 which is perhaps a bit odd, I still occasionally develop this type of cysts, which always reabsorb themselves in a matter of 10 days.

Now, the strange fact is this: I started in two occasion developing a fat cyst (not a lipoma though): in one case it grow rather big (say 2 centimetres on my shoulder) and yet after 2 years it opened up and got emptied. Then years later I got a smaller one which disappeared in a matter of 4 months.

Then I started develpoing that bugging indeed "disease" named pilonidal cyst - basically an ingrowing hair that forms a sac. I got two surgeries in 7 years for that.

Now, I just developed a ganglion cyst on my wrist.
Acne does not involve a sac, yet pilonidals and most opf all ganglion involve a sac. So the "new" thing is the sac. I say this in case it could have any meaning which I ignore.

At this point, I have unavoidably to assume there must be some condition that predisposes me to develop a variety of not really harmful though strange cysts.

Of course, a possible concern is that this might lead over time to bigger problems.

Yet my real question is: I don't know what hormonal causes may be involved - the fact I got cystic acne since I was very young is certainly a hint in my (maybe wrong) opinion. But is there any pattern that a more holistic approach may detect in a profile like mine? "official" medicine won't even mention as a possibility that a person who has such a tendency to develop cysts may have an underlying condition - there is not even a name for it.

I am interested in knowing more and I thought that persons with a homeopatic background could have answers or ideas.
Let me repeat I am not seeking for a prescription, but for a judgement on whether it is possible to identify a profile for this cyst developement scheme.

If it may help, another characteristic is that whenever I can sleep, I sleep even 14 hours (sadly can't do that often, but whenever I can I really sleep with gusto lol).

I also have a tendency to develop a considerable amount of heat - no kidding, my skin seems a bit warmer than skin normally is. Also, I like sport activities, but I am lean also without that, as if I burn fats quickly.
Yet, speaking of fat, I don't like eating flesh, it gives to me in the last years a very displeasant feeling as if I were to vomit. Really.
I have an intense intellectual life (dunno if this matters lol!)
I smoke 15 cigarettes a day and 101% agreed I'd quit - strangest thing of all I feel a disgust for smoking a cigarette after sex, whereas conversely all my friends who smoke report the need to smoke as more intense after sexual activityl.
Uhm.

My "profane" outlook seems to spot a pattern in this puzzle, but I can't see clearly, thence my attempt asking here: anybody sees a known, though maybe not truly common, pattern?

don't say to me I have been too vague ROFL

an almost infallible remedy for cysts is Sulphur /1m or 10m/ , from the detail you give its almost certain - good luck

Oh thank you Passkey, I wasn't expecting so prompt a reply and even a prescription. I am now searching omeopatic websites to know more about the profile associated with Sulphur.
Well, since you have been so kind to provide a prescription, I will give it a try; yet to avoid harming myself, I suppose I'd get this sulphur once (or is it like medicines that you get them every day for a week?), I don't know if getting this Sulphur more than once could cause inconveniences.

I now will search more on the internet, taking this Sulphur thing as a start; I am really curious, this field seems incredibly ample and fascinating!

ciao
Alberto

Jesus, Passkey... The profiles of Sulphur I am seeing on the internet seem my portrait. I'm somewhat impressed. I didn't know that omeopaty makes these psychological profiles, and so precise.

Except from the hygiene mentions (I take a shower daily with immense pleasure lol), they seem taken by somebody who just took a snapshot to my life.
Wow.

I don't know if it will work as a remedy, but I can say to our members, as say sorta personal contribution (I like giving, dunno yet if this belongs to the Sulphur type, I have 5 documents here now lol), that the impression a newcomer like me got from the _profile_ associated with Sulphur was an impression of considerabvle exactness. Also, the associated descriptions are not those types of descriptions that might fit nearly everybody, they seem highly specific.

I am impressed. If the remedy is so good at "its" job as the profile has been, that would be ideal. But certainly, that a profile can be so neat is already an achievement that spells good.

thank you!
ciao
Alberto

Uhm ok going to try it, got this Sulphur it is written 30CH, 80 pills. Dunno what it means exactly.

Since I do NOT mean to take advantage of the group expertise, I will proceed as follows.
If somebody answers within 15 minutes telling me how many pills I must take, I will follow those instrictions.

Otherwise, elapsed the 15 minutes, at 16'.00'' I will surely proceed to open the vial, put ALL the 80 pills under my tongue as the chemist where I bought it suggested, and cross my fingers lol

ps well I wouldn't do that with a standard drug of course!

ciao!
Alberto

Hi Alberto - the whole vial will work as one dose, no matter how many pills you take - its the number of times that you do.
Also 30C is too low a potency to expect too much of change immediately. We usually repeat this potency more often - but this of course is entirely dependant on your response to the first dose.

For the future its best to be in touch with a homeopath personally.
All the best,
doctorlela

thank you a lot. Actually the best homeopath (apologies for wrong spells, I'm not a native speaker) we have in my town charges really too much, yet I'd like to give homeopaty a try. I won't say how much this doctor charges for a vist but we are in the order of the hundreds++ so you see I have a normal wage, that would _really_ affect my monthly income for august.

I reasoned as follows: if an allopatich packet of antibiotics usually contains from 4 to 8 pills, then 80 homeopatic pellets arguably could be thought as to be4 be divided in 4 or 6. I thus eventually decided to get 20 pellets a day for 4 times.

I am proceeding like that, whatever advice you may add I know you'ere not supposed to, so this is why I am trying to reason about it myself and if any further advice comes along I will carefully listen to it.

I will go on two more days until the 80 pills are over.
Then I will wait a few days and try another round of 4 days, as last. Maybe this time I will choose a stronger Sulphur than just 30CH, I will ask to the chemist's shop what's a stronger formula.

ciao thank you a lot

What you are doing is a waste of money. You only have to take 1 pillule!!!! And if it is your constitutional remedy - if you take one dose night , one in the morning and one the next night that will be enough!!!!! If anything happens let us know. Do not be tempted to get a higher potency and take it without checking back with us.

BTW - I check out this board once a day not every 15 minutes. Us homeopaths have work to do!!

ciao Ricky,

You're not supposed to check every 15 minutes Ricky. It is an open forum and I just assume I can ask questions, then wheoever wants to answer I take it as a kind gesture and I'm grateful for it, if one doesn't want to answer one just doesn't answer; I NEVER, NEVER assume somebody is supposed to answer.

I don't know whence you got the impression I was assuming somebody was supposed to check this forum every 15 minutes.
I myself have to work and I check it twice a day: today this is once, maybe another tonight.

So I am aware of that.

Thank you anyway. As for the waste of money that was not a real concern because I found 80 pellets of Sulphur 30Ch at least here in Italy cost 5 Euros (nearly the same as 5 US$): much less than the less effective allopatic antibiotic.

Exactly because I don't deem anybody supposed to answer, I was reasoning by _myself_ about what type of dose taking.

My reasoning was rather simple: if the medium box has 80 pellets, it should be meant something between 10 or 20 pellets is an average dose - otherwise why they sell as many as 80 pills if all one normally need is 1 or 3 pills and that's all?

Of course I can be wrong. If you say 1 pill is enough and you put stress on it, I take that as definitive Ricky, no problem.

It's just odd that if 1 pellet is enough and at most one gets them 3 or 4 times, they then produce boxes that contain as many as 80: they could then last a lifetime. Maybe this is precisely the case, I don't know.

doctorleela suggested a higher potency, I was inclined to value his free counseling you see. If you advice against it, I will ponder your contribution as well.

I don't know if Sulphur is effective; passkey makes a reasonable point it could. I will wait and see, thus far my sinovial cyst is there, but I seem to sweat much less than usual despite the very warm weather.

Thank you, ciao
Alberto

Homeopathic pillules are cheap - it's the time that it takes to work out the correct remedy that homeopaths charge for.

Yes 1 pillule is all you need to take at a time. If you take too many doses (not pillules:-) ) you may start proving the remedy which means getting symptoms of the remedy that you don't want!! It's Ok to take more doses if it is an acute problem when the disease is using up the pillules but not if it given as a constitutional remedy. I don't know your case so I wouldn't prescribe online for a constitutional remedy.
