A few days ago, I left a message in another homeopathy forum, and they suggested me to take NuxVom30 for my binge eating problem. But now I´ve read some of the discussions in this forum, I don´t know whether I should trust them. They asked me to describe what complaints I was facing due to binge eating, but they didn´t ask me if I had any other health problems. I was impressed when I read Snoopy`s questionnaire! I didn´t know all that information was required.
Anyway...I don´t know what to do now. I guess NuxVom is working (not sure because I started 3 days ago), but maybe there´s another homeopathic remedy that can help me with other things (asthma, depression,pain in the anckle and shoulder) at the same time??
I hope you can give some advice. Thank you

Hi Susana,
YEs without knowing your detailed history, we wouldn't be able to tell whether the Nux was working curatively (for the long term) or just as a short acting acute remedy.
IF its helping you for the moment, its OK. BE careful how often you take it though.

For the long term you need to see a homeopath who will take all your problems into account and treat you curatively over a period of time.
All the best,
dr. leela

is a psychological problem - down to unhappiness- if asthma is also involved , we are looking at a depleted immune system
Nux vom may work as a palliative but this case needs deeper analysis.

Revising this to make a point , originally stated by Prof J H Allen in his book “Chronic Miasms”. I have found this point to be true in many cases of my own.
It is , simply stated , that Binge Eating , Tobacco , Alcohol or addictions of any kind are attempts to fill a internal psychological/ emotional vacuum with a material substance . Obviously and always doomed to fail .
I have had many cases of this type and quote 2 to illustrate the point . One was long ago , about 30 yrs , when a young woman who had a high pressure job and an unemployed male partner , came to me with an anal fissure. I took the case in great detail and made a prescription . In the course of the consultation it emerged that she was passionately interested in painting . I advised her to take one day a week to paint – to relieve the stress. After some time she reported that the fissure was gone and life was good . I said “Oh the remedy worked ok then “ She said “ I didn’t take it – it wasn’t necessary “ . This taught me a lesson – I always expect patients to teach me something.
The second case was much more recent when a young 19 yr girl was sent to me by her hairdresser employer because she was addicted to cutting her arms with a razor blade . I took the case and prescribed remedies , but it was obvious to me that the problem was emotional/selfworth. It emerged during the consultation that she was deeply interested in Art History but lacking any scholastic qualification could not see any future for herself . Because I was studying at the Open University I had details of courses available . She entered for a course in Art History and never looked back. My point is that a homeopathic remedy is NOT always the answer.
