Hi
I know of 3 sisters who are quite generous when one of them needs help, while they are careful with their own spending.
Is this a important trait? What are the possible rubics will this fall under?

Re: rubic help - generous
Hi TC,
To me this doesn't so far sound pathological!!!!!
To help distinguish: Do you see this (extreme?) generosity in other parts
of their lives, or only with each other?
You say "when one of them needs help"; would you say that the generosity
is disproportionate to the need, that it is excessive (which *might*
indicate something to prescribe on), or simply adequate (which to me sounds
like quite normal sibling/family/friend behavior)?
When you say, "careful with their own spending", does that seem
excessive, or simply "careful"? Unless they are wealthy, being "careful
with their spending" is probably quite prudent, isn't it?
What are their relationships like with *other* people? If they are very
insular, don't see many people other than each other, that again might be a
clue toward something, tho I couldn't so far guess just what.
Are you trying or hoping to treat them, or just wondering "for curiosity"?
(One of my favorite things, LOL!)

Re: rubic help - generous
Hi Shannon
No, I am not refering to any disease state - one who's action is out of
proportion.
I am reading Dr Prafull Vijayakar's book on Theory of Suppression at the
moment.
Dr Prafull give importance to the natural un-diseased characteristic in his
case taking.
I am trying to apply his approach on the people I know and see if I can
arrive at a simillium.
I have no intention of treating them, except maybe for the one who is my
wifey for some minor illness -
i.e if I am sure that I will not be suppressing the disease.
Although Phos is known for the sympathy and generosity, it has great thirst.
All 3 sisters are thirstless.
Does this means that Phos is definitely ruled out?
Thanks for sharing.

Hello,
Absence of one characteristic or a keynote symptom can not rule out a
remedy.

On the other hand, you would need a ***LOT*** more than "sympathy to
siblings in trouble" to justify giving (or even thinking very seriously
about) phosphorus. The rubric for "sympathetic" includes many remedies:
MIND; SYMPATHETIC, compassionate: adam., aeth., alco., am-c., ambr.,
androc., arg-n., aur., bac., bani-c., bell., calc., calc-p., cand-a., carc.,
carl., caust., chin., cic., cocc., coloc., corv-c., croc., cupr., dros.,
dulc., ephe., falco-p., germ., graph., haliae-lc., hell., hydrog., ign.,
iod., kola., lac-leo., lac-lup., lach., lepro., lim-b-c., lyc., lyss.,
mag-c., manc., med., merc., mosch., nat-c., nat-m., nit-ac., nuph., nux-v.,
Phos., puls., sep., seq-s., staph., stram., tarent., tub.
And many other rubrics might be more suitable, depending on the reasons, and
the rest of the case.
Not to be a wet blanket, but...

Re: rubic help - generous
Hi Shannon
fully agreed that we should look at the totality of symptoms.
This is meant to be a case taking exercise for me.
Two of the sisters has been treated by homeopaths (different ones).
So far, there is no improvement - not significant and lasting ones.
It is quite disturbing to see different homeopaths prescribing different
constitution remedy for the same person (same disease also) for a couple of
my friends/family. I managed to persuade quite a few friends to "try"
homeopathy for their chronic problems. Some even visited a second, and even
third, homeopath after the first "failed". While I don't expect success
rates of more than 90%, the results I am seeing is less than encouraging.
Some of my friends has kind of given up and went back to allopathy; and now,
I am also less confident in recommending.

Dear Waqar Taji,
: You wrote:
--
This thirst is a general symptom of high value. This can virtually rule in
or rule out a remedy. Though in this case I doubt the mental symptom of
generousness can be of any help,this thirstlessness will be an eliminating
one.
will you still omit this when a dry mouthed woman says "no thirst" ?
also when a salivatingly moist mouthed man says" very thirsty"?
Dr Praful Vijayakar has written extensively on this subject.
