Default Comments re: Kali phos. article?

THE USE OF KALI PHOS AFTER OPERATIONS (Ostrom, Homer. "The Use of Kali Phosphoricum After Operations", The Homoeopathic World, Vol 105, pp: 67, April - June 1967: Health Science Press: England)
No operation sufficiently grave to require general anaesthesia can be done without inflicting more or less strain upon the central nervous system. The degree to which this burden is resisted depends on many factors; the nature of the operation, the organs or parts involved, but chiefly upon the personal equation, so difficult to determine, of the patient. As some persons are able to surround themselves with a 'magic circle' into which no adverse influence can penetrate, so the nervous system some persons seems to me impregnable to the shock of an operation. But this is an exception; sooner or later, in one way or the other, nature exerts herself in the form of exhaustion, due to the extra expenditure of nerve force that has been required to meet the trauma. As the female nervous organisation is more delicately poised than the male, it suffers correspondingly; and while women recover more rapidly physically than men, their nervous convalescence and their psychic restoration bear longer evidence of shock. Tonics will be called for, and are of some use, but dynamic remedies are truly curative. They strike at the very source of the malady, and their exhibition will more truly restore health to the shocked system. Of all the remedies in our materia medica, I regard Kali phos. the most useful in restoring tone to the nerves after an operation. Nerve exhaustion in its hydra-headed manifestations is entirely covered by this constituent of brain, nerve and blood. It may be actual pain, it may be exhaustion, it may well be marked psychoses, Kali phos., will be found of first importance in treatment. I rarely carry through convalescence of a gynaecological operation without the aid of Kali phos. Other remedies may be indicated and may be used at the same time without interfering with the action of this remedy, which I prescribe, not upon its special symptomatic indications, which however, point to neurasthenia, but because of its general action, so exquisitely similar to post-operative conditions.

I'm asking for comments re: the above article as I developed a panic disorder, extreme physical, emotional and mental exhaustion, loss of appetite and a generalised sensation of 'dis-connectedness' following the first of 5 gynaecological medical procedures, the last 2 being performed under general anaesthetic for cervical cancer.
p.s.Homeopathy cured the cancer, not the doctors - they couldn't figure out how come it 'mysteriously' disappeared no matter what investigative procedure they performed!
However, I wonder, after reading the above article if Kali phos. would be beneficial for me following the physical insults that my body has recieved in the last 8 months????

When I see someone who has had several GAs over a short period and has been unusually tired or anxious since, I think of Opium (as a lot of narcotic anaesthetics and analgesics will have been used). I agree that Kali-p fits some aspects of your problem but I'm not sure it has the "disconnectedness" you mention. Opium and phos-ac both have this. You need to study all three remedies closely in the MM to see which fits you the best.

Can you suggest a potency for the Opium?

It really depends how comfortable you feel about the remedy matching your symptoms, but I take a pragmatic approach and use whichever potency I have to hand (I don't keep every potency of every remedy for obvious reasons). So on this basis I'd give 200C x 3 - one to be taken 12 hourly for starters
