Interesting remedy experience

[Rosemary Hyde]

As some of you know, my partner died unexpectedly in November. I've finally gotten to a point where Ignatia has started to help (surprise -- I thought "acute" meant that it should be looked at very soon after the event... I think, in retrospect, I probably needed Op first, although finally flower essences started to open things up so that the Ign could work).
In any case, my partner's cat, who was very attached, had stopped eating and drinking after my partner died, and the cat almost died as well. I had thought the cat was doing much better... but obviously he hadn't totally recovered, either.
Three days ago, I made up a solution of Ign 12c, which I have been taking in tiny sips as needed, as symptoms stop receding, once or twice a day. It's been a big help. This cat (one of two -- the other cat was not the least bit interested) was very interested in the paper cup with the remedy. To keep him out of it, I finally affixed a lid, and stashed the cup in back of a bunch of bottles on the bathroom counter. It took him 3 days to figure it out, but this morning, he managed to tip over all the bottles, bite through the paper cup and tip it over, and then lap up every last drop of the remedy. He's looked really mellow and relaxed the rest of the day!
Generally, when I give a remedy to a cat or dog, I know as soon as I approach with the remedy whether it's the one needed or not --the animal either comes up eagerly to take it, or turns away. It seems to me that this cat must really have felt attracted energetically to the Ignatia (otherwise, it was just plain water in a covered cup, and there are plenty of other, fresher, more readily available water sources). It was interesting to think, after observing this behavior, that this cat apparently hasn't finished recovering from his shock and grief, any more than I have.
I thought I'd share this, and I bet that others have similar stories to share about companion animals making it clear that they want to take a particular remedy.

Dear Rosemary, Thank you for sharing . Seems that sometimes a remedy needs time to act, Kindest Regards, Jean

Rosemary, I am very sorry for your loss. That is a wonderful but sad story of the cat. Animals are very intuitive that is for sure, they seem to know better than we do sometimes. I hope you both start to feel better soon. Kathy

Dear Rosemary,
Acute means that you won't die of the "disease" or injury. Would you
expect to get better sooner than you would from an acute flare up of a
chronic? Or would they look basically the same. Your experience
suggests that a quick and complete recovery is not necessarily
characteristic of an acutre.
Blessings,
Ellen

[Rosemary C. Hyde, Ph.D.]

Dear Ellen,

That's an excellent question. An acute isn't necessarily quick -- it
depends on the strength of the "morbific force" and the susceptibility of
the individual affected. It took months for me to recover from a spine
fracture, and also to recover, in a later event, from Rocky Mountain Spotted
Fever, both of which, like this grief with shock, are real acutes rather
than exacerbations of chronic situations. Exacerbations, likewise, can be
short or longer-lived. Exacerbations, of course, tend to come and go over a
fairly long time. But acutes can also set up some symptoms that hang on and
on -- the "ailments from..." scenario. Acutes can also, actually, be fatal
-- I think it's probably more complete to say that an acute is supposed to
end within a somewhat predictable time frame either in cure or in death,
whereas a chronic has no clear-cut end point.

I think the lesson in the fact that Ignatia wouldn't work till now, although
it seemed indicated, has to do with the fact that a different remedy was
needed first, and so therefore the Ign didn't do anything when I took it.
Also, I'd never thought of flower essences as ways to open up a case where
the remedy was not apparent -- but I've also now experienced them doing that
-- very interesting.

That is beautiful Rosemary and will stay with me for a long time

I am well known for spilling or dropping rx all over the place and our lovely dog was one to snuffle up a rx but only Sulphur, which was her acute rx - how she determined it was beyond me!

Lovely and thank you, well wishes to you all at home.

Hi Rosemary,
First I'm so very sorry for your loss. I'm glad to hear you are on the mend.
I love that story!! If we only learned more from animals!! They are much smarter than us lots of times lol. Their instinct guides then, and they go for it. How awesome.
I would love to hear more stories like that!!
Take care,
Susan

Hi Rosemary!

Thanks for the great story about your cat. I have also had this experience with my decrepit 15-year-old shepherd mix. If I approach her with the wrong remedy, she will turn her back and flee (well, walk fast). Long experience has taught me not to ignore her when she she won't let me open her mouth for a few drops. She usually knows something I don't.

If it's a remedy she wants, she'll stand still and suffer me to give her the remedy. Right now, she's allowing me to give her Kreosotum.

Best regards,
Hart
