I am copying a post that is of interest as it confirms yet another case, where my default remedy for Asthma, Nat Phos 6c in the Split dose has evoked a positive response in just 2 days when the patient a 9 year old boy slept peacefully without the Inhaler for the first time in a long time which the mother would use in the early hours of the morning routinely, merely to enable her son to breathe.

I am also copying my response to her post which may be on interest especially to the classical homeopathic fraternity who have been wont to criticize my own attitude to Homeopathy in the past.

Dear Joe
Wanted to update you on my son's progress on nat sulph.

06th May:Took nat sulph in the afternoon straight from the bottle.First day off steroid inhaler.Slept peacefuuly at night.

07th May:Second day .Again slept beautifully.Keeping my fingers crossed.It's too early to say anything cause it could also be the effect of the inhaler.But anyway two nights without nocturnal attacks.

Thanks Joe.

I am happy to note that your son whose case all of us were following from the time of your first post on March 26, has shown improvement on the 2 days you gave it to him. I am delighted to learn that you did not find it necessary to use his inhaler which i presume you have been using for a very long time as you stated on a nightly basis, merely to enable him to sleep.


You will remember that I prescribed Nat Sulph 6c on the same day you first posted his problem, but you decided not to give it to him due perhaps to the fact that I did not have any formal Homeopathic qualifications which others may have, or at least pretend to have.

I have been alerted by the daily emails that are sent automatically and it is just that I could not bear to see your boy suffering that I made the final effort a few days ago to alert you to stop his suffering and use Nat Sulph 6c which as you now see, has shown results almost immediately it was used.

I might mention here that your boy's response has been the fastest that has been reported to me so far, and I hope and pray that this improvement will continue in the future. His case which can be considered as Most Chronic, has obviously been treated by a long list of MD's and later by Homeopaths without any success up to just 2 days ago and it has culminated in this dramatic result which may yet not continue.

I am confident however that it will and all of us who read this post will pray for it to continue to help him.

Please remember that in the unlikely event that he has difficulty in breathing with an attack, you are cleared to use the Ars Alb 200 in just one dose of 4 pellets under the tongue and this will clear his airway within 20 minutes.

Please keep us informed in a daily post as you have done in the past as we all wish your son a speedy recovery. I am confident that he should be free of his Asthma within perhaps a month and it may be necessary that we change him in a few days to the Split Dose where you take a teaspoonful of the remedy from the bottle and mix it into half cup of water from which a teaspoonful is sipped by the patient.

You have experienced another Miracle of Homeopathy which I have used in the non classical manner to help a chronic Asthmatic by treating the ailment directly instead of beating about the proverbial bush in the classical way, and I hope that the classical homeopathic fraternity who may read this post will please take note.

Under biochemic system, Nat.sulph is a commoly and well indicated remedy for asthma, but not for all types. As many as 10 tissue remedies out of total 12 including NS are indicated for asthma. Take care pls.

To Kayveeh

Thank you for reminding me that other Biochemic Tissue Remedies can also be used to treat Asthma depending on the relationship of the ailment. I had an instance of using Nat Mur for a case of Asthma which was triggered by the patient facing a deep catastrophe in his life.

I have however found that the majority of cases of Asthma invariably respond to Nat Sulph 6c in the Split Dose and this is the reason why I use it as my default remedy, because it works.

This is also the reason why I decided to share with members the case of this 9 year old boy who responded instantly to Nat Sulph which was given him in the afternoon and resulted in his sleeping through two consecutive nights for the first time in years without waking up as he has done in the past in hours of the morning to use his inhaler.

Dear Joe.

Though I respect your intentions and efforts, I reproduce below some indications as per biochemic system:-

Kali Phos: Control anxiety and nervous regulation of resp. centre.

Mag.Phos: controls spasma of bronchial tree.

Nat.Mur: Eliminates excess watery, mucoid secretion.

Nat.Sul: Prevents blockage of bronchial tree and increases vital capacity of lungs.

Bio. Combination no 2 is for asthma whose indications are: all types of asthma, cardia, bronchial etc. with profuse yellow greenish sputum, leat food aggravates, dysponea on going upstairs.......

Inspite of above indications, I am not satisfied that this is complete list as some others are related to breathing problems. Some other way indicated biochemic remedies are :-

Asthma- cf; cs; fp; KM; KP; KS; NM; np; NS; SIL

Hay asthma- cs; KP; NS; SIL

Humid- NS

With this much remedies even in biochemic system, I don't know how one can depend on just one remedy for any disease.

Pls take care.

Dear Kayveeh,

Thank you for the list of remedies that you have recorded in your post for Asthma. Your list will serve as a refresher to all homeopaths who may read this thread.

You have not indicated the potencies and it would be of interest to learn which potencies of each of these remedies are best used for Asthma. You will note that in the case of Nat Sulph I have already recorded in this thread that the 6x potency proved Asthma in one case who had never had asthma before.

I note that you have cautioned me in both your posts and shall be interested to learn the reason for your concern in my using Nat Sulph 6c in the Split dose as it has never failed to help those to whom I have given it. The 9 year old boy's case is typical of the effectiveness of this remedy to help asthmatics. You may like to learn that some patients were chronic cases and suffered from Asthma for over 20 years and were cured of their ailment in a few months and in a number of cases they do not use any remedy today whatsoever and can therefore be considered as cured.

You may also like to know that not one of the patients that I helped have ever presented with signs of Eczema, which I was cautioned by some classical homeopaths would surely follow my so called allopathic method of prescribing for these patients where as you probably know by now, I treat the ailment directly.

Joe

Re: 7 yr old with nocturnal asthma From Joe De Livera on 2006-05-09
Shiny,

I am very glad that your boy is now able to enjoy uninturrupred sleep without his Asthma bothering him as it has been for some years (?).

I hope that other more experienced homeopaths especially the classical type will please take note that there is indeed method in my madness in the manner that I use for prescribing for the ailment directly instead of pretending to take the case and come up with some abstruse remedy which has usually no bearing on the ailment.

As I have stated before it is not impossible that your boy may yet have a relapse of his asthma and if he does reach the stage when he should use his inhaler, feel free to use the Ars Alb 200 pellets which you must always have with you and also with him when he goes to school.

I feel confident that the combination of the remedy and the prayers that those of us who believe in prayer and will be offering for him will all jointly help him to recover which at this present rate, I project that he will be OK and not need any remedy in under 6 months.

As I have stated before, I would like to consider reducing his dosage from the teaspoonful direct from the bottle to mixing it in a half cup of water but this is for later.

In the meanwhile I would appreciate if you will please keep us informed every other day or immediately if he suffers from a relapse, when you know what you should do on a SOS basis.

I note your comments about thanking me and would like to tell you that I do not expect any thanks from you or anyone whom I have helped to recover from their ailment. It is my pleasure to have been of service especially in a case such as this which has been attended to by homeopaths who I presume are qualified, unlike me, and rigidly follow the methods they have been brainwashed into accepting, which unfortunately as they will perhaps now realize, do not always work.

Potencies can't be indicated in any referance as those can be dependant on individual case.

Biochemic system is bit different as its remedies are somewhat isopathical type or homogenous..resembling the same tissue salts. Suppressions, proving effects, aggravations etc. can still be common. Homeopathic system of selecting single remedy is the work of great knowlewdge, skill and experiance and it may present both positive and wrong outcome if mistaken being too many remedies and theories also most remedies are bit hetrogenous type. So going towards biochemic can be bit easier, and better understood, but I am not yet sure, if it can cover complete healing due to just 12 remedies.
