NAET and your son's worsened condition. My question would be "Why
not?". If the law of similars is the law of nature governing cure as
Hn. proposed, then if it isn't "similar" it is suppressive. I would
be very suspicious that the NAET was suppressive, thus the deeper
symptoms.

Could you explain this "suppression" a little more simply for my
simple mind please?

I would consider looking at remedies that are sensitive to
suppression of whatever type of symptom your son was having before
the NAET, e.g. eruptions, discharges, etc.

I dont understand...do you mean the symptoms he was exhibiting that
led me to the naet pract. to begin with? Because I believe it was
for allergies (to everything) The only major symptoms were
unbearably itchy shins, and fatigue.

rays.

I do believe him, because he never exaggerates his pain...even when
it would benefit him (no school, etc)

Interestingly, there are two remedies I found with pain after
radiation therapy - Hippozaeninum and streptomycinum. Hipp. has a lot
of symptoms of cough, throat and constant movement.

Heide,

According to the law of similars, only a similar "disease" can produce a
curative reaction resulting in the disappearance of symptoms. If a
non-similar disturbance is created in the system, if it is stronger then the
natural disease, the non similar disturbance prevails but the original
disease is still present, just not producing symptoms. This is as a result
of the new disease weakening the system even further and forcing it to
defend itself at a deeper (more vital) tissue level. This isi suppression.
Specifically, your son's "eruption" was probably suppressed by the NAET.
Therefore, instead of itchy skin and fatigue, the disturbance is now showing
up in the brain. The unusual thing about your son's reaction is that instead
of going from the skin to the respiratory or digestive tracts, (the most
common type of reaction) his disease went to the central nervous system.
This says something about his constitution. He may need one of the remedies
listed in

GENERALS - CONVULSIONS - eruptions - suppressed; from

These are constitutions that tend to get brain disorders from suppressed
eruptions. I had mentioned Bar-s, in my first post. I still think that is a
candidate with this additional information. (sulphur is a classic suppressed
eruptions remedy). Zincum is another thought. If I am right about your son,
the itchy legs should come back as the neuro symptoms subside. I hope you
find a homeopath who can help.

be well

I am confuse about this.... are you saying by trying to clear an allergic resonse to a certain item (calcium) with such a mild techniqe (accupressure) THIS is enough for his body to react in such a way to defend itself and supressing the symptoms? I am always massaging his back, reflexology, manually and with a machine.... could this be interferring with the homeopathic treatments?? Because I don't see the difference between the naet practitioner's stimulation CERTAIN points on his back while holding an allergin, and stimulating many points all over his body (incl. all the back ones t-3 to t-12) with out a physical allergin, but perhaps a thought in his mind, or whatever. Also, I have on my own given him a few naet tx.

Therefore, instead of itchy skin and fatigue, the disturbance is now showing
up in the brain. The unusual thing about your son's reaction is that instead
of going from the skin to the respiratory or digestive tracts, (the most
common type of reaction) his disease went to the central nervous system.
He DID develop digestive problems...CHRONIC stomach pain (xray showed severe constipation) flatulence, absorbtion probs etc. ALSO, wouldn't his CHRONIC "cough" (albeit a mental "tic" come under the realm of "respiratory ailment"? I have always had a strong suspicion that his stomach problems were contributing to his failing mental state.

The homeo prescribed AGARIUS 30c 3x a day. Does this seem helpful/harmful to you? From my research it doesnt seem to be the correct way to offer the remedy...Is it better to offer a low pot. at first, then proceed and perhaps higher potency if symptoms begin to improve, or mental state improves? OR if there is a worsening of symptoms (THERE IS...and this is day 4) doesn't that suggest the wrong remedy..and time to chose a new one now, or wait until the ill effects of the incorrect remedy wears off, then represcribe?
My unqualified guess is to give him his Constit. remedy of SILICA which has been recommended to me by another helpful posting (also sounds accurate to me reg. his type). The remedies you are suggesting to me....are they constitutional remedies, or designed to treat his prominent symptoms as of now? (mental disorder, tic (cough) I.E. supressive symptoms??

I think I have found a qualified one , who actually goes by hahnemann's rules of cure.... I would appreciate taking the knowledgable advice of this board to her... as she seems open to advice.

Just to note... his itchy legs DID return during the course of homeopathy treatment.... I'm not sure at what stage though, during a helpful remedy or wrong one.
thank you for your help!

Heide,

The bulk of the problem certainly lies in the brain i.e. neurotransmitter
imbalances resulting in OCD, etc.

You wrote:

resonse to a certain item (calcium) with such a mild techniqe (accupressure)
THIS is enough for his body to react in such a way to defend itself and
supressing the symptoms?

As I have said in other posts, if a treatment is capable of removing
symptoms, it is capable of suppressing. Either you have a double edged sword
or nothing. It isn't logical to think that you can only move the system in
the correct direction with any technique, including potentized remedies.
I am always massaging his back, reflexology, manually and with a
machine.... could this be interferring with the homeopathic treatments??

I think it can in certain constitutions.
Because I don't see the difference between the naet practitioner's
stimulation CERTAIN points on his back while holding an allergin, and
stimulating many points all over his body (incl. all the back ones t-3 to
t-12) with out a physical allergin, but perhaps a thought in his mind, or
whatever. Also, I have on my own given him a few naet tx.

I don't see much difference, either.
I have always had a strong suspicion that his stomach problems were
contributing to his failing mental state.

Perhaps, or a concomitant symptom.

The homeo prescribed AGARIUS 30c 3x a day. Does this seem helpful/harmful to
you?

There are many approaches to prescribing as you see on this list almost
daily. I personally don't prescribe this way. I prefer a single dose and
watch for the reaction. Potency choices are almost as varied as there are
homeopaths as well.

My unqualified guess is to give him his Constit. remedy of SILICA which
has been recommended to me by another helpful posting (also sounds accurate
to me reg. his type). The remedies you are suggesting to me....are they
constitutional remedies, or designed to treat his prominent symptoms as of
now? (mental disorder, tic (cough) I.E. supressive symptoms??

I think the next sentence I wrote answered that question.

These are CONSTITUTIONS that tend to get brain disorders from suppressed
eruptions. I had mentioned Bar-s, in my first post. I still think that is a
candidate with this additional information. (sulphur is a classic suppressed
eruptions remedy). Zincum is another thought. If I am right about your son,
the itchy legs should come back as the neuro symptoms subside. I hope you

Anyone repeating any remedy like Agar 30 three times a day would seriously
WORRY me!!

Soroush,

can you explain what you mean by "a remedy like Agaricus".

oh, you know- the other 6 remedies in the rubric

giant mushroom, before, falls down, sins confesses =;-)

Or perhaps Soroush would mean a remedy "like" this remedy, which has the
potential to rapidly develop "psych" symptoms... ?
