Hi All,
After a couple of years time out, I'm glad to see this forum is still busy and active.... used to come here quite a bit.
Today my question is:
I have learned and read again and again that Kali carb must not be repeated or only very infrequently. However, I have never fully understood the reasoning for this. What would happen?
Any experience would be appreciated.

AS kent points out K Carb is a very confusing remedy and it is difficult to be sure when prescribing it.

Also it can be bad when used in an old case of gout [if used above 30c] .

I do not know of any reason not to repeat- except when using the higher potencies - but that applies to most remedies.

Hello to all
Yes please more on K Carb,it is a remedy i have only used once in 10yrs. It is verry difficult to spot in a persons constitution.
Anyone................?

One of the main uses is in dropsy/waterlogged tissue, and when the lower eyelids look as if they are full of fluid. Burning piles and fistula of the rectum.
Chronic bronchitis. Uterine haemorrhage. Colic , coldness.

IF I see Kali (mental) indications with a chilly thermal state, I'd think of Kali Carb as a high possiblity and see if the physicals confirm it.
The trio is: Easy Perspiration X Weakness of ligaments X Backache as concomittants.

hello again......
Thank you for your posts........
I do have many books ref. K carb and all mentioned are in these books.
Any Firsthand unusual K carb patients that you have dealt with long term?

(Dr. Leea thanks again for your box of homeopathic remedies sent to Bali Indonesia........my journey will start in sept. and will get the staff in the clinic to be more comfortable using homeopathics for acutes. Other volunteer homeopaths are also arriving this year.There is a allopathic hospital nearby that is interested in the Art of homeopathy and wants a seminar in the hospital,it's all a beginning for homeopathy in Bali .......lets hope it goes well)

I can't recall any case specificaly at the moment. But I"m sure I have made at least 4-5 prescriptions over these years.
My indications for KAli Group are: Duty Conscious, Family oriented, tendency to "fight with bread and butter". They are always complianing when they see you that they have not felt any better. BUt when you ask them specific sympotms, they have all improved. They seem to have a sense of dissatisfaction and can be quite demanding.

HEre is something from Vermeullen:
* Common traits of all Kali's: conservative, regular, proper, down to earth. "Lot of emphasis on morality and what is right, what is wrong. Black and white issues."
Kali-c. is the prototype, where the mind rules the emotions. "Their usual complaint is that they are heading for a breakdown" [Borland].
Strong mental CONTROL. Fear of LOSING CONTROL [weeping when telling of her sickness]. Dogmatic.
Strong sense of DUTY. "Doing what has to be done."

Scholton's descriptions are very helpful to observe a Kali Carb without the usual (Physical) indications.

You're welcome for the remedies! All the best in your project.

Thanks Dr. Leea
For the k carb info,I had to chuckle when you mentioned "demanding",.....Oh so true....the patient i gave this to has emailed and phoned me on a daily basis about this and about that.After I'm done working ......she calls again......weekend calls again......You are right on with that one.
Now i'm in for a rough journey ,she has sent her entire family in for homeopathy,(i am to be her homeopathic servant)
Its interesting to actually see a constitutional do it's thing verses via paper trailing/book info.
Specially ones i dont see often.

Gina TYler

HI Gina,
YEs that is typically what they do.
While they keep complainaing how much they are NOT better, they keep bringing in more members of the family for treatment. Its the same theme - FIghts with ones bread and butter" extrapolated.
they are dependant on you, they grumble, yet they show their appreciation of improved health by bringing in more in the family. Yet the demands go on...
The rest of the family is usually simpler to treat...

Thanks for your replies.

So when they say to be cautious about repeating Kali carb., does that mean one would be likely talked into repeating the remedy by the patient's complaints when in reality they have improved and repetition is not necessary?
