Hi everyone. I'm new to this list and would like some suggestions about remedies to maybe look at to cover my situation. I can answer most questions. I have worked with a homeopath in the past but am unable to do so now and am in the process of learning as much as I can.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts you may have

Hello Ataxia,

I`m sorry to say.... but for this very serious disorder you really need to see an experienced classical homeopath for full casetaking (lasting 1-2 hours) in order to find the correct remedy and he/she will have to ask you many relevant questions.

Causticum, Plumbum metallicum and Lathyrus are some of the important remedies for muscular dystrophy, but there are far more remedies which after case taking could be indicated.

Take care !

Wim

Thank you. I know all that and over a period of several years have tried each of those remedies while under the care of a homeopath. I think I'm questioning everything I've tried to see if I maybe missed something.

Hi Ataxia,

I understand ......I sincerely hope you`ll find a good and experienced classical homeopath. Successful treatment won`t be easy to obtain, but the correct constitutional remedy may/should improve your situation.

There is a question I'd like to ask. Several years ago before I started studying homeopathy I picked up some Calc Phos 6X and started taking it. For several weeks I was getting substantial improvement then I stopped getting better. I've always been curious if there was any indication in that. I've taken Calc Phos for different things since but haven't seen any improvement other than what it was indicated for at the time.

Thanks

Some of the main uses for Calc. phos. are: bone and joint conditions, digestive disorders, fatigue, growth disorders, teething, head pains, rheumatism, etc.

Remedy profile : Calc. phos.is often used for sociable and sensitive people who respond best to this remedy if they are prone to feelings of great insecurity with regard to their health and friends. They may get depressed, worn down and wary, feeling poorly nourished on both a physical and emotional level. This feeling often leads them to be restless and uncertain of what they want. Constantly seeking new stimulation and contacts, they like to travel and meet people but tend to feel dissatisfied, bored and irritable without knowing why. (As children they exhibit similar discontent with no real cause).

Wim, is it possible that a higher potency of the Calc Phos might have continued to work if given? Just curious as I know with a dear friend we did that to get past a block and it worked great. So if the original 6X worked for Ataxia, maybe a higher potency such as a 12X or even a 30C might have continued the healing?

Hello Julie,

Yes, that would have been possible.

If an indicated remedy ceases to be effective when used in its original strength, a higher potency may be needed. A change of potency is recommended before changing remedies.

A specific potency, whether high or low, may work for a certain time or to a certain degree and if it seems to no longer have any effect the potency should be changed.
