I read that too, In the case I quoted I used a 3x, which would normaly
have some (but not much) crataegus in it, BUT I was working from
someone elses clinic, and my portable Kit (of only about 600
remedies
) had no crataegus in potency and I did not have my tinctures with me, so I have to confess it was a machine made remedy.
That certainly worked.
Any advance on 3X?
Well yes I have.
I normaly use crataegus on drop doses, but short term only as I
consider that it can be slightly alopathic. I treated myself for a
suspected thrombosis in my ankle. ( I know, a fool for a patient and an
idiot for a Homeopath ;)but would not want anyone else to take
responsibility for my even more foolish actions to come ) I had been
sat in front of a fire, dead still with a wonky laptop with a loose
conection on my knee for several hours (definately a fool for a patient-
Probably you lots fault for sending interesting posts) when I moved
ankle was painfull and it got worse and more swolen over next day.
Crataegus 0 helped, but also made my gums bleed much more than usual.
This may have been partly due to my vital force doing what was needed
and thinning the blood but I suspect it was alopathic. Over next few
days Had lots of muscle tests and gradually needed higher potencies, at
quite regular intervals. The potencies would take the pain and swelling
away only to return in 1-3 hours at first. lowere potencies I hand
succussed from tincture( I like doing that when I have time, although I
know the machine works, higher ones, 200 up to 10M I used the machine
for obvious reasons)
Went Skiing on a working holiday for the Ski club of Great Britain 2
weeks later, took a bit of crataegus tincture before the flight which
made my gums bleed again (suspect alopathic this time) , but ankle was
fine on holiday and flight back. Had occaisional foot pain since which
still responds to crataegus. May be worth thinking about blood clots
when patients have unexplained foot pains!
