Homeo question

[Maria Bohle]

Hello Friends,

I have a question, perhaps you can help me with this one.

What is happening?

As you know, I am a professional homeopath, but cannot get my mind around
this.

I am under treatment myself with a professional homeopath, and he does
not tell me the remedy I am on.

I used to be on Ambra Grist, but now don't know if still on it, or if the
remedy has been changed. All in all the remedy is a decent 'similar'
although I would not call it the similimum. My health, energy, ability
to work, comfort, etc has greatly improved.

But, for the last year or so, I have started to develop warts. (the
proving sx of ambra have warts, but they are itchy, etc and these are
not.)

I have never had warts in my life, except a few plantars warts (I am
someone who is barefoot as often as possible, so I probably stepped on
something.)

These warts are showing up on the back of my left hand - they are all on
areas which have healed after a scratch or cut. For example I sustained
a small 1/4 of an inch long (mostly superficial) scratch/cut to the back
of my hand. Now where that small cut has healed up there sits 3 small
warts (or at least they look like warts) in a chain like a row of beads.
They are soft, round and flat topped. I must have 12 to 15 or so of
these on the back of that hand, and a few others sprinkled elsewhere
(like a larger one on inside of right knee, also in the area where a skin
injury occurred.)

Now, my questions:

1) Did I, or am I, proving the Ambra?
2) Is this what Hahnemann called the annoying side effects of an almost
perfect remedy?
3) Were these warts caused by a virus, possibly introduced, when I got
the injuries"? (started with a couple of warts I thought they were keloid
tissue, and multiplied - please realize I work an herb farm, have
livestock, etc, and I run with the ambulance squad as a volunteer for my
community = which of course, means I could have been exposed to numberous
things).
4) Did I always have the 'virus' and the warts never manifested because
my immune system was too weak to show them? (not sure about this as I
supperate more now than I ever did.)

5) Since the warty things are multiplying, should I use something to
suppress them? (celendine sap, masking tape, rub them with a potato and
bury the potato?

6) should I just leave them alone and see what happens? They are non
debilitating, not itchy, flesh colored although they do redden up certain
times of the day and I don't have a handle on when or why.

7) My husband thinks I probably spilled a remedy on myself or got into
one of my herbs and am proving something.

I am mostly curious about this phenomena as I am neither debilitated, in
pain, or annoyed (short of seeing them pop up). But I am the kind of
person who likes to understand what is happening, and would like an
answer if it every happens to a client. (btw, I would die with these
things before I would consider having them burnt off, but if my body is
transferring 'disease' from inside out I don't want to suppress the
process.)

So, what do you think?

Warmly, Maria

Hi Maria,

Any of your suggested reasons seem plausible to me... Have you asked your
h'th what he thinks???

Personally, I wouldn't mess with burning or cutting them off -- when they
are ready to go, they will go; if you burn or cut, you may get scars, but if
they go on on their own, you won't! OTOH I've never heard anyone suggest
that the various "folk remedies" (banana peel, running three times around
the barnyard in a full moon, etc. ) were in any way suppressive or
troublesome -- I've been told that he wart virus is actually a rather weak
one, and can respond surprisingly well to "placebo" (so-called) treatments
of many sorts!

How long have you had them so far, and are they still increasing in number?
A nuisance, as no one likes warts... But IMO not cause to do anything
drastic... Other than to ask your h'th what he thinks!!!

Best,
Shannon

Dear Maria
We don't know the remedies, the symptoms before and after the remedies,
but we know that you have general mental amelioration during the
treatment and now wart or keloid symptom appear. We can not call this
symptom definitely NEW SYMPTOMS, because you had some few plantar warts.

It seems that active miasm is changing or the current miasm needs
another remedy, although new infection during your job is probable. I
think the only thing you need is a new case taking and new prescription.
By the way, in Synthesis under Keloid rubric you can find 34 remedies
and Thiosin is only one of them.
