Speaking of necks...

[arista000]

There has been some discussion about "skinny" necks in the past few
days. Which reminded me of a question that has been nagging me for
quite a while: can anyone, please, tell me which remedies apply to a
THICK (or ROBUST) neck? (Not fat - at least not necessarily - just
robustly built, thick, sort of trunk-like.)

I know two people (from the same family) who correspond to Calcarea in
most aspects - except the neck. It's not thin, as Calcarea necks are
"supposed" to be.

As incredible as it may seem, I am yet to find a corresponding rubric.
Anyway: thanks!

For what it's worth, talking about necks, I'm becoming aware that if
someone's neck is think relative to the rest of their build, which is not
quite as thick, it's likely due to chronic muscle tension in the jaw/ neck
area. If that's the case for a person, rubrics about jaw or neck tension
might apply.

Thick necks are in Silica's sphere. How about Calc Sil or just Sil

Thank you, Rosemary. Any input is very much appreciated!

But no, these two people were simply born with a "thick" neck.
I could call it a "bull" neck (for illustrative purposes , but that
wouldn't be quite fair: the shape of their necks is actually quite
nice and healthy-looking.

It's just that the line of the neck is perfectly aligned with the
outer lower jaw - i.e. when seen frontally, there is no visible
transition between the lower jaw and the nec. They form a single
straight line.

Now, one of these people (a woman) has definitely a weak lower jaw,
which would partly account for the "thick" neck effect - but only
partly. Under no circumstances - i.e. even if she had a well-defined
lower jaw - would her neck be described as thin. And it's basically in
perfect keeping with her athletic build (I am not referring to the
musculature here - it is definitely on the slack side! - but to the
skeletal characteristics of her body structure.)

Again: thanks very much.

Thank you very much, Bill.

If it's not too much trouble: could you, please, tell me how the
rubruic reads? (So I can see where my reading of rubrics falls short. )

All the best,

also has a lot to do with the thyroid and goitre, can appear subtle but nonetheless to the
point. best wishes, Joy

I don't remember the exact source. I was doing reading on Silica from
many sources for a patient. I read Catherine Coulter's Silica, Phillip
Bailey's Silica, other MM & EH in Radar.

Thank you, Joy.
Yes, I've been thinking the same.
Hypothyroidism, specifically, would be worth looking into at least in
one of these cases. As we all know, thyroid malfunction - the great
shape-shifter - often goes undetected and is rarely well-diagnosed.
Of course it would only account for a part of the "problem" (a thick
neck is not necessarily a problem per se); but yes, it's worth
considering.

Thank you again.
