Possible Lyme's?

[Joy Lucas]

Agar is 'cheerful' because it is aligned with a 'fearlessness' they have, it is a courage enhanced by the properties of the mushroom that come through the provings - at the later stage this is a delirium characterised by laughing and being silly, hilarity but you have to see the journey of how that begins in the early stages which can be much milder.

The so called cheerfulness with Phosphorus (remembering how anxious and fearful this rx is, very impressionable and over sensitive) comes from being in an excitable state, evolving out of the over sensitivity, it is as though it sends them into a frenzy (even a lascivious one and also a spiritual one as well) - one rubric would be ecstatic. Again there is a journey from mild to extreme as there is with all rx.

He said not, only the numbness in the middle.
Here's where I KICK myself that I used the topical!!!!! I assume
that's why the initial mark disappeared overnight, and that was the
main "affected part".
Ah, that's a good thought.
Last night I sent him up with a low potency dose of thuja, as it
appeared in all of the rubrics and also has correspondence with his
apparent state before the bite. I'll see how he wakes up; will keep
Hypericum in mind.

Sulphur is another I'm considering--but will see...
I'll look more at Agaricus. It's not one I've thought of for bug
bites. Can you say more about when you've used it and what other
indications might have been there in those cases?

Thanks again,

PS--Did Opium seem to have any other connection to her chronic state,
or was it purely result of the injury, if you recall? I'm always
curious about how acute susceptibilities connect with the chronic
state--and have had several occasions where it took an acute to
*reveal* the state that had already been there. So interesting!

I think the state pre-existed the injury, and there are still shades of
it now, but also shades of the Ledum tend to surface too.

Not to be an alarmist, but this is not a case to take your time with - if you suspect Lyme - it is critical to treat immediately.
I had a case of a little girl who began with Lyme symptoms (although at the time they seemed like flu symptoms and then seemed like whooping cough). After a month or two of changing symptoms and not much progress, the mom figured out Lyme. She brought her to a specialist for a specific blood test which detected not only Lyme but a coinfection with two other bacterium (common with Lyme). Long story short, the girl developed neurological symptoms and severe tics and *severe* pain in all joints, all over, temporary paralysis, etc. The Lyme nosode only severely aggravated her (even in drop water doses).
The mom decided she had to start antibiotics and she is now starting to recover (almost a year later). If it is caught early enough, two weeks of doxycycline can kill it. If not, it can be years before recovery (including with homeopathy).
However, there is some evidence using one of the Lyme nosodes immediately can stop it: borrelia burgdorferi. Check out this article on hpathy: http://www.hpathy.com/papersnew/gardner ... sease1.asp and in more detail here: http://www.cindeegardner.com/boom11.htm
The mom saw two other classical homeopaths for second opinions and both said to do the antibiotoics. She has been doing the antibiotics and using homeopathy (single remedies in high potency) to manage the pain. While she is finally having some days with only minimal pain, she has a long road ahead of her.
I watched a documentary on Lyme and it is incredibly difficult to treat allopathically (and homeopathically). The spirochetes (bacteria) can hide in biofilm making it difficult to detect and also can mutate. There are two books detailing how Lyme came about: Cure Unknown by Pamela Weintraub (http://www.cureunknown.com/) and Biology of Doom by Ed Regis.
I'm out of town until early next week so I can't read the rest of the messages but wanted to post this in case it is useful for you.

I can only give an example from my own experience... when I am sick or injured I put on my best face - mostly because I cannot stand the idea of worrying anyone or making anyone else upset. Ex: two years ago when I went into anaphylactic shock after eating sesame tahini, when the paramedics arrived, I was chugging from an Apis remedy bottle which would keep the symptoms slightly at bay and was keeping my throat from closing completely.
I tried to offer them cookies and lemonade so they thought I was fine. Then the lead paramedic looked in my throat and *freaked*! They made me get in the ambulance and took away my remedy bottle (much to my chagrin). I then coded twice in the ambulance on the way to hospital despite 3 doses of Epinephrine.
Anyway, alls well that ends well but to answer the questino of why ... that's why in my case. (I have been told by many homeopaths I am "Phosphorous-like" for what it's worth! - Carcinosin was my remedy for 3 yeras and probably still is in there somewhere.) I suppose another reason is because I do not want to appear weak in any circumstance.

Why is Phos cheerful? I can think maybe because of the
attention, maybe putting on a brave face, what do you think are the
dynamics there? And also Joy mentioned Agaricus as being cheerful, what
would underlie that?

[Shannon Nelson]

Thanks, Erica! I appreciate the additional information.
Yep, we won't let this drag on. If no clear improvement within a few
days I'll get him to the clinic--and certainly faster if there's
worsening. I'll read up on the nosode.

Thanks again!

Erica, what a great story!!
(I wonder why on earth they took away your remedy bottle?? Weird...)
What potency of Apis were you using?
Congratulations on "cracking the code", pun-pun, and surviving! (Whew!)
Shannon

[Tanya Marquette]

why would they take away the remedy bottle?
because allopathy is a control freak protocol and they
are horrified about anything that they don't control. all
their workers are trained to employ the program but without
any real information about the underlying goals. have you
not had the experience of being mentally/emotionally assaulted
by teachers/medical people/lawyers who want to mold you
into the clone they want you to be?

hey even the wealthy are treated this way. didn't we just lose
michael jackson and farah faucett to the allopathic, drug pushing
medical industry?

[Shannon Nelson]

Yeah, but I've been similarly assaulted by "lefties" etc., and even
"spiritual junkies" and homeopaths, so I think no group has cornered
the market on "control freak-ism!"
