Dear fellow homs
I have a young friend of 17, who took me into his trust. He is quite active (plays hockey and cricket), healthy - has a bit of a infamed facial skin, but otherwise healthy.
His problem is low blood pressure.
He describes it as follows: "It's like I am not part of what is happening around me. I observe things distantly. Like I am a another person whatching everything I do. I am constantly tired and very sleepy. Whenever I have to do something, it feels like I have to get everything going to just start to get to make the first move. The only thing that really helps, is to sleep or take something salty - like potato crisps."
He gets dizzy when he gets up - even when he gets out of a car.
The boy is pale en stares at a point of no importance quite often.
He has an overbearing father who scrutinises everything the boy does and says. His father also corrects him on everything he does and says. The mother is very protective and loving. She often tries to compensate in what the father lacks to provide, as far as love, care and affection is concerned. The boy is the eldest of two boys. His brother is about two years younger than him, and if fine.
The boy came to me last year and complained about swolen glands. When I examined his lymphatic system, I observed a very swolen left testicle. I referred him to a urologist, whom extracted quite a bit of water from the testicle and after that treated him further for a while to control the water build up in the testicle. The testicle is fine now.
Could someone please advise me on a hom remedy for the boy's blood pressure? I would really like to help this great young fellow.
If you need any more info, I would gladly add to this.
Kind regards.
Anton Smith.

Re: LOW BLOOD PRESSURE
Hi Anton,
Do you have info on food preferences, sleep, and what he was like as a baby,
young child? Does he ascribe any cause to his present state, and what are
his thoughts and feelings about his father's criticism? (E.g., angry,
embarrassed, unworthy, or ??)

Re: LOW BLOOD PRESSURE
He sounds pretty like Cann-i but that is a quick guess without repertorizing
Just curious - does he smoke dope?
You are a homeopath?

Case of Haloperidol
An Interesting Case From My Practice
Sujit Chatterjee, Bombay
-
A 35 year old housewife came for a psychological disorder
(schizophrenia?) and tachycardia, with very rapid pulse. She felt like
blood would shoot up and come out of the skull. She was trembling a lot.
Tears came out of her eyes, but her speech was monotonous (deep
sensitivity and expression were lacking).
She cannot stand any stress because her will power is too weak.
Even small things stressed her a lot of. She had an inferiority complex.
She says that she does not know English but her sister knows it; that
she is not a good cook or host.
She does not like to take responsibility for family matters. Her
husband is a scientist and very busy in his work. According to her, he
is very pessimistic and never encourages her in her work. So she feels a
very pessimistic atmosphere at home and feels very nervous I couldn't
find a proper reason for it. To give a simple example, she had to strain
a lot for the smallest thing to describe the above matter.
I felt she was in a total confusion, as if she was in a mist. Her
statement was "whenever I face any problem I am not within myself". She
feels that if her mother comes to her place, she will be relieved, but
what will happen when her mother dies? She had an unnecessary fear of
death and what will happen to her children. I observed there was a lot
of inferiority complex in her but no sign of timidity.
She had a lot of problems aggravation when she had to do some
intellectual work.
She had a definite desire for salty food.
I considered the following Rubrics:
1. Delusion legs cut off, are (SR. I 316)
2. Food, salt desires (SR. II 266) (For schizophrenic we need to
give much importance to such symptoms).
In both the above rubrics Haloperidol is given by Julian (No. 14).
So I opened the Dictionary of M.M. by Julian. Under Haloperidol these
other symptoms were also mentioned:
3. Sensation of continuous "stress" difficult to ward off by will power.
4. Persistent feeling out of his self.
5. Sensation of unreality, "I am away from myself and others,"
doesn't know what he does, everything is gummed gradually (Gummed -
sealed out).
6. Stereo-type speaking (unvarying)
7. Is in a complete mist, (confounds everything, beings and facts,
things and duration).
8. Great waves of pessimism, of nervousness, without any reason. (Imp.)
9. The movement of the most elementary thinking requires great effort.
10. Tachycardia (Julian M.M.)
11. Rapid pulse (Julian M.M.)
12. Trembling.
13. Modalities. Aggravation - In the morning by intellectual work.
14. Schizophrenia
Haloperidol is an allopathic medicine with a major neuroleptic,
anti-psychotic action and is used in the treatment of schizophrenia.
-
Follow up
After potentised Haloperidol she had become very confident. Now
takes her own decisions, comes alone to the clinic. Her reasoning has
improved a lot. She is optimistic.
-
Some important symptoms: (From Julian M.M.)
1. Frequently forgets things that should be done daily.
2. Sensation as if legs are cut off; need for sleeping
3. Sensation of constriction in throat and chest, as if gripped by
a vice, difficult respiration, thorax painful, legs are lost.
4. Wishes to remain stressed and to do nothing.
5. Tendency to philosophic speculation in a closed personality.
6. Skin: palms of the hands very hot, despite of this tips of
fingers are cold.
7. Permanent state of depression.
8. Depersonalisation of self.
9. Forgets the notion of time.
10. Impression of being in a mist.
11. Great difficulty of intellectual cogitation.
12. Troubled sleep, sleeps better lying on belly.
13. Hyper salivation; desire for salty food.
14. Tachycardia.
Haloperidol is a synthetic substance but it has a beautiful drug
picture from the homœopathic point of view. If we are opening our
practice, we can give any medicine when well indicated to any patient.
When I took the case I found a lot of inferiority complex and
dependence in her, but as there was something else as well, I did not
even think of the Baryta group.

Editorial Comments
This case opens up a vast vista of remedies to be proved, namely
the drugs used by modern allopathic medicine.
Sometimes I use Goodman & Gillman's text book of Pharmacology as a
companion to the homœopathic Materia Medica, especially when we read
side-effects of the drugs. These are a ready Materia Medica for us.
O.A. Julian in his Dictionary of New Materia Medica and other Books
has published provings of many drugs from Allopathic Pharmacopoeia. This
work needs to be continued.

Case of Haloperidol
An Interesting Case From My Practice
Sujit Chatterjee, Bombay
-
A 35 year old housewife came for a psychological disorder
(schizophrenia?) and tachycardia, with very rapid pulse. She felt like
blood would shoot up and come out of the skull. She was trembling a lot.
Tears came out of her eyes, but her speech was monotonous (deep
sensitivity and expression were lacking).
She cannot stand any stress because her will power is too weak.
Even small things stressed her a lot of. She had an inferiority complex.
She says that she does not know English but her sister knows it; that
she is not a good cook or host.
She does not like to take responsibility for family matters. Her
husband is a scientist and very busy in his work. According to her, he
is very pessimistic and never encourages her in her work. So she feels a
very pessimistic atmosphere at home and feels very nervous I couldn't
find a proper reason for it. To give a simple example, she had to strain
a lot for the smallest thing to describe the above matter.
I felt she was in a total confusion, as if she was in a mist. Her
statement was "whenever I face any problem I am not within myself". She
feels that if her mother comes to her place, she will be relieved, but
what will happen when her mother dies? She had an unnecessary fear of
death and what will happen to her children. I observed there was a lot
of inferiority complex in her but no sign of timidity.
She had a lot of problems aggravation when she had to do some
intellectual work.
She had a definite desire for salty food.
I considered the following Rubrics:
1. Delusion legs cut off, are (SR. I 316)
2. Food, salt desires (SR. II 266) (For schizophrenic we need to
give much importance to such symptoms).
In both the above rubrics Haloperidol is given by Julian (No. 14).
So I opened the Dictionary of M.M. by Julian. Under Haloperidol these
other symptoms were also mentioned:
3. Sensation of continuous "stress" difficult to ward off by will power.
4. Persistent feeling out of his self.
5. Sensation of unreality, "I am away from myself and others,"
doesn't know what he does, everything is gummed gradually (Gummed -
sealed out).
6. Stereo-type speaking (unvarying)
7. Is in a complete mist, (confounds everything, beings and facts,
things and duration).
8. Great waves of pessimism, of nervousness, without any reason. (Imp.)
9. The movement of the most elementary thinking requires great effort.
10. Tachycardia (Julian M.M.)
11. Rapid pulse (Julian M.M.)
12. Trembling.
13. Modalities. Aggravation - In the morning by intellectual work.
14. Schizophrenia
Haloperidol is an allopathic medicine with a major neuroleptic,
anti-psychotic action and is used in the treatment of schizophrenia.
-
Follow up
After potentised Haloperidol she had become very confident. Now
takes her own decisions, comes alone to the clinic. Her reasoning has
improved a lot. She is optimistic.
-
Some important symptoms: (From Julian M.M.)
1. Frequently forgets things that should be done daily.
2. Sensation as if legs are cut off; need for sleeping
3. Sensation of constriction in throat and chest, as if gripped by
a vice, difficult respiration, thorax painful, legs are lost.
4. Wishes to remain stressed and to do nothing.
5. Tendency to philosophic speculation in a closed personality.
6. Skin: palms of the hands very hot, despite of this tips of
fingers are cold.
7. Permanent state of depression.
8. Depersonalisation of self.
9. Forgets the notion of time.
10. Impression of being in a mist.
11. Great difficulty of intellectual cogitation.
12. Troubled sleep, sleeps better lying on belly.
13. Hyper salivation; desire for salty food.
14. Tachycardia.
Haloperidol is a synthetic substance but it has a beautiful drug
picture from the homœopathic point of view. If we are opening our
practice, we can give any medicine when well indicated to any patient.
When I took the case I found a lot of inferiority complex and
dependence in her, but as there was something else as well, I did not
even think of the Baryta group.

Editorial Comments
This case opens up a vast vista of remedies to be proved, namely
the drugs used by modern allopathic medicine.
Sometimes I use Goodman & Gillman's text book of Pharmacology as a
companion to the homœopathic Materia Medica, especially when we read
side-effects of the drugs. These are a ready Materia Medica for us.
O.A. Julian in his Dictionary of New Materia Medica and other Books
has published provings of many drugs from Allopathic Pharmacopoeia. This
work needs to be continued.

Re: LOW BLOOD PRESSURE
Hi Sheri
No I'm not a homeopath. (Wish I was - am studying on the side line.)
No he does not smoke anything at all.

Re: LOW BLOOD PRESSURE
Hi Shannon
He's quite fond of fast foods. Yet eats what is on his plate. Does not like
veggies or fruit. Would settle for Coka Cola, a McDonalds burger and french
fries.
He was a sweet little boy, lively and very normal.
His sleepiness came with puberty.
He is at two ways as far as his father is concerned. During conflict he
becomes very quiet and bitter. I even detect suppressed hatred. He
despirately like to please his father, but harly ever succeeds. This leaves
him very empty and unfulfilled.
Although his room is never tidy, he is very hard on himself on the golf
course and in other sports.
Hope this helps.
Anton.

Re: LOW BLOOD PRESSURE
Dear Anton,
Andy has dealt the case in his usual excellent manner.
This case is so cann i- like. But not quite:
1. Vertigo- on rising
2. Delusion- two existences of:
3. Mind- Absentminded( specifically I took this rubric
since it is an all encompassing one incl staring etc)
4. Salt desire
5. Hydrocele
Nat-m scores in all the five. Cann i is in the first
three only.
Nat m has a delusion, double being, though in only one
grade.
Add to the above, lie down desire to, and sleepiness
and nat-m
is there also.There is a special agg rubric in
Synthesis pg 1429,
Sleep: Sleepiness,lying,inclination to lie down. Nat m
can also create quite a variety of facial skin
symptoms.
If the boy is worse from heat in general, ( but
sensitive to cold)
Nat m can be a choice. The group may think alike or
differently. perhaps a better rx may arise.
Regards
Venkat
