case taking etc

[Joy Lucas]

Dear Piet, I was not aware of turning your text around in any way. Having
had this done to my own contributions I would surely not do it to others. I
was emphasising some points about case taking and how we arrive at the first
prescription, I just happened to use those interesting points.

I am very keen to help Beverly with this case but what worries me is that
there are still a number of remedies which we can make fit and qualify.

Having been round the houses with this case my first choice (on initial
presentation) was Arsenicum, after more information then I started thinking
about the Ammoniums, especially Muriaticum - finally I am thinking about
IGNATIA, especially after going back to reading Vithoulkas' write up of the
first version in Essence of Mat. Med.

As Andrew says, by default many of us are going to come up with different
remedies. How can this be? And there are as many answers to that as well!

Perhaps if we were to meet this person it would all become clear. Personally
I think we have had all the information we can.

There are also many approaches to this case once the remedy has been
decided. Is it a layered case where the presenting complaint (the asthma and
all its modalities) needs attention - the correct Rx will open up another
layer. Does one begin with a nosode to help clear the picture. Does one
begin with Sulphur (ditto). Etc etc.

But at least in discussing cases we are continuing to learn about the
remedies which is a good thing.

My attitude is that each remedy is as if we have several suspects in court.
If they are found guilty, they will be executed.

Vote guilty only if you are sure.

Most of the defendants are looking to you to find them not guilty!
