Miasms and mixing modalities

Her accident contributed but was not the cause of the firing. Her company is
outsourcing her job to India. She had 18 years with the company and because
the company made bad investments she feels her retirement might not be there as
well.
She has a lot of psora and sycosis on top at the moment. She has had lots of
suppression of many things, skin rashes, asthma etc. with steroids and
antibiotics.

Her fingernails are psoric smooth brittle dull. Her toenails are sycotic
thick yellow ridges. Of special note her little toenail is becoming thicker much
thicker in the last two months and one pinprick indention has come up.

I suspect she will go much stronger sycotic and possibly even a return of
eczema which in the past was all over the folds of her arms knees. I suspect if
the outbreak does occur her self esteem will go even farther down. I am also
suspect that suicide may be in her future.

She is a very proud person who refuses to ask for help. Lot of suppressed
resentment that helped set her up for the eczema in the first place.

I am hopeful that since the rash cleared with Nat m 3 years ago that perhaps
that layer may have been peeled away completely. Time will tell. Hopefully she
will keep in touch with me as she has no family alive to help her.

At the moment I have repeated the Nat M and we did EFT Emotional Freedom
Technique to clear some of the emotions which she has responded well to. I am also
giving her Bach flowers to take whenever she feels like it. Rock rose for
terror, white chestnut for persistent unwanted thoughts and walnut for changes.
She also has rescue remedy if she chooses to use it.

I ask the list Do you feel that life events could create miasms or if the
life event brings out hidden or layered miasms or both.

I am of the opinion that the events can set up the person to create a new
miasm and it also brings out layers.

In some people I feel it is inappropriate to do Bach Flowers at the same time
as a homeopathic and in some cases it is OK based on how the person reacts to
remedies in general.

I was taught in school acupuncture and dental work would automatically
antidote remedies. I have not found that to be the case in my practice or on myself.
I have found that the majority of my patients handle acupuncture and
homeopathy really well together as the acupuncture opens and clears the meridian
energy pathways and allows the homeopathics I usually follow with to work better.

I suspect it is a matter of intention and belief that homeopathy is a very
powerful medcine.

Dr S K Banerjea told me once that one of his patients refused to take the
Betel nut out of her mouth while taking the remedy he Rx and it still worked.
That changed his opinion and helped create my mindset as well.

What are you finding to be true in your practice/ Is it your belief system
that it will automatically antidote remedies.

Be in joy,
Sunny

Thanks for sharing the case.

Personally I would be thinking that she needs the eczema to come back as a
sign that the diseased state has not internalised to the point of extreme
suppression whereby suicide is the only option. That obviously would be the
wrong direction for any cure!

All disease states are linked to an inability to adapt and also a
predetermined susceptibility, although a big question is whether we can
acquire susceptibility as we go through life or whether it can only ever be
genetically predetermined. How creative is the vital force? Scholten speaks
of disease as creation or game - "finally there is the view of disease as
creation. You could then call disease 'spirito-somatic', in a way analogous
to the term psychosomatic. A human being creates a certain state within
themselves and then looks for a fitting situation around that. Here we see
the circumstances not as the cause of disease, but instead humans are the
cause of their disease and creators of the circumstances."

In my own practice I prefer my clients to be involved in just one healing
practice at a time, then at least you know 'what is doing what'. Dental work
can and does interfere with homeopathy but you have to assess each
individual case as and when this happens, if it does happen. I routinely ask
my clients to let me know if they are indulging in any habit such as chewing
mints, drinking excessive amounts of coffee, dental treatment etc as it is
all part of the case taking, just like knowing what allopathic drugs are
being used or other healing practices having an effect. If you know what is
being used you can better assess the case development.

Best wishes, Joy

In my own practice, I discourage using acupuncture (and most other
modalities) at the same time as using constitutional homeopathy. I also
discourage dental work and other potential antidotes, at least until the
remedy has had a chance to work. If they must have dental work, or would
like to use acupuncture, I advise that they do that FIRST (and to
completion), then come in for their homeopathic consultation. I tell them
that they will get the most value for their money (and their vital force)
if they do it that way. I do not refuse to treat those who must have their
coffee, or who insist on mixing modalities, but I think that some people
ARE prone to antidoting factors, and feel it would be dishonest of me NOT
to warn them of the possibility.

When I first experienced homeopathy, many years ago, I had a very dramatic
(in a good way) reaction to the remedy, and the action lasted for a few
months. Then, I had a relatively minor complaint, and called my homeopath's
office. Since she was in another office that day, the receptionist
suggested I come in to see my homeopath's husband, who practiced
acupuncture in the same office. I had a wonderful treatment, and felt much
better about the "new"complaint, but by the very next morning, my ORIGINAL
complaint had returned. My homeopath repeated the prescription, and I was
back on the right path, but I am sure she spoke to her husband and
receptionist about checking with her before poking needles in her
homeopathy clients, LOL!

Since I did not have any instruction at that time that would have led me to
expect a relapse, I don't think we can blame my own expectations. Nor can
we blame the acupuncturists expectations, for he was apparently unaware of
any problem with mixing homeopathy and acupuncture. The proof was there for
me, though, and I remember the lesson. While I know it is true that many
times supposed antidotes have NO effect, it is also true that some
individuals do sometimes experience antidoting. Perhaps it is related to
the miasmatic influence? I tend to the sycotic, myself....

Hi Sunny,

Are social services available to her, and is she willing to go that route?
It sounds as if her situation is *exactly* the sort that those "safety nets"
were put in place for, and if she's not willing, that might be another thing
to explore with EFT???

Yes, altho I think *usually* it's rather that latent susceptibilities are
triggered. IMO, tho, it's a pretty academic question, because what you have
to deal with is what *has* come up, regardless of the "why" of it.
I agree.
My personal experience with dental drilling has been that it will antidote
if drilling is done within about two weeks of the (single) dose, but will
not if more time than that has passed. I assume, tho, that the time frame
could be different for different people, and perhaps also for the same
person at different times. But it's definitely only within some specific
time frame that drilling is a problem, not a lifetime bad! (Good news/bad
news!)
Perhaps to some extent, but I continue to hold that, if "intention and
belief" were a *very* large part of the equation, most homeopaths would be
getting consistently excellent results! And beginners would have the best
results of all.
And there are many experiences of remedies being successfully administered
in many odd ways--in hot coffee; in various sorts of food and drink; in an
alcoholic drink; and (recalling some wonderful examples Julian gave us way
back) in eardrops and in a hot bath! But taking a remedy too soon after
mint apparently *is* a real problem, and it does seem that certain
*individuals* can have the remedy's action interfered with by certain
substances. I'm reluctant to *entirely* dismiss the issue, but it does seem
that we have a lot of latitude!
