Iridiology: useful？and planning for support of a Sepia case

[Ellen Madono]

Hi,

I have been advised to wait on the Iridology decision until I am over jetlag. I am near Seattle now. I slept through the night, mostly. Arnica for Jetlag seems to be working. So, I will make the iridology camera decision soon.

I just saw a complex case and would have really appreciated a second opinion (iridology perspective) on her state of health. Too many drugs to really see much.

In the context of describing the case, I will ask about support herbs and low potencies. As well as describe my use of Polarity Analysis.

SEPIA FOR MANY DRUG SIDE EFFECTS
I'm giving Sepia, so I won't give a liver support remedy. Her liver lab test results are bad. But, it would have been nice to have been a bit more informed when I did the interview.

FIBRILLATION: HEART SUPPORT QUESTIONS
She is having heart fibrillations since taking Pork thyroid given by a Naturopath. (Natural is not always foolproof.) Before that, the fibrillation were not so bad. Her mother had them too but died at 85 of cancer. Now the hyporthyroid is controlled by the synthetic hormone, she is not having the fibrillation, but most of the added meds were needed to control the side effects of the synthetic thyroid med, so I went after the fibrillation in an effort to get rid of the synthetic hormone related drugs. The hypothyroid symptoms are too general to be of use.

According to the above article, maybe a low dosage of China might help the fibrillation after the Sepia shows me what it can do. They are giving her prednisone because of high cortisol levels probably caused by the Calcium blocker or the synthetic T4?? The Calcium blockers, in general, cause symptoms (the side effects) that she already had when she started them. She says her lab results for sexual hormones are out of balance. Blood thinner and a drug for a hiatal hernia.

Since these fibrillations are such a problem as of Nov 2018, I am thinking about heart support. Of course, the original problem is hypothyroid for which medications were only taken for 4 years. So, it seems that the current layer is the heart drug layer. Under that is the thyroid.

ALLOPATHIC DRUG EVALUATION VS CLINICAL EVALUATIONS
Here is a review of heart support drugs from an allopathic perspective.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4321072/ Besides Hawthorn, the author also talks about the side effects of China. The author mostly says Hawthorn is not well studied. The little I have read about it suggests that Crataegus is a very common herb and clinically it is well studied.
Since she is taking homeopathic Sepia, less herb in comparison to the normal dose if only taking herbs? So, 4 drops of Crataegus 2-3 times per day. If China, then in potency 3-6 x, 1-3xs a day?
SEPIA INDIFFERENCE?
I asked her about how she feels about her allopathic treatment after the bad reaction to the pork thyroid. She replied, "I think they are all doing their job."(considering other allopathic happenings as well). Sounds like Sepia indifference. She says her whole family is non-reactive. No conflict and no one talks about anything that might explain why they are doing anything. In contrast to her family, she is a justice advocate so she meticulously toes the line working for the local courts. She wants to be transparent to others. (Sepia 3rd grade intolerance for justice 85 remedies).
She had one ovary removed during an exploratory investigation just because her whole family died of cancer. Sepia 4th degree.

POLARITY ANALYSIS
I found Sepia using H Frie's Polarity Analysis. Sepia is very low in the lineup of a ordinary repertorization of the excessive number of rubrics for the case. The highest ranking Polarity Analysis remedy has been so far very good. So, I am going with it.

For Polarity Analysis, I only used the fibrillation symptoms and acid reflux symptoms to find Sepia. I was aiming at the chief complaint and a concomitant. Actually, she needs to sleep sitting because she is afraid of acid reflux, but if I added that rubric, I would lose Sepia and instead get Chamomilla which makes no sense. So, you could say that I massaged the available rubrics.

OTHER THOUGHTS
Later I will give Fucus as an herb or in x potency? for hypothyroid.

She was placed on a diet that only allows oils, meat and veggies. She has lost 30 pounds going from 90 to 60 pounds. She looks sturdy but is wiped out from not eating much. Her tongue looked great so I didn't say anything about the diet except to encourage her. 2 more months then she can begin adding foods. Mostly she is extremely sedentary.

Best,

Ellen Madono

Hi Dr. Roz,
The hormonal system is central to Sepia, and the liver system is secondary. You don’t think that way?

But why would that prevent yo from giving liver support if the patient seems to need it?
