possible remedies for this type

[bored_chick]

if a person is healthy overall except for bad constipation, is very hard working positive thinking but one big fear they have is of old age and sickness........thinking things like who will take care of them in old age who will take take care of them if they get sick...
is this a calc carb or sepia type ?

[Irene de Villiers]

They are likely short of magnesium.

They may be a water type; i.e. they may not be drinking enough water.

I do both magnesium and water for constipation, and it often works for me. Also vitamin C.

All of which says nothing about what chronic remedy might be indicated…
And yes, getting the right remedy might reduce or even eliminate any need to take magnesium or whatever. (Or it might not.)

No remedy can reduce the need to take a missing nutrient:-)

We need to separate nutritional needs and remedy needs.
At best a remedy can remove a block to absorbing magnesium but it canot supply the magnesium.

Namaste,
Irene

In 1790, there were very little to no nutritional imbalances, artificialities, toxicities, etc. etc.There may have been a lot of nutritional deficiencies, but almost all of those deficiencies would have been "balanced" and free of toxin and artificiality. The bread and water that some prisoner had to live off of would be a very whole food bread and the water would have had no chlorine or fluoride. The same with all deficiencies at that time. But now, we have perhaps something new to the human race: People eating 156 pounds of sugar every year; artificial this and that; white bread; corn fed beef; etc. I could go on and on and on, and still not complete a list of all of the artificiality, imbalance, excess, toxicity of our food. So we have an entirely new and different problem that Hahnesmann probably never even imagined.

Actually, I have found repeatedly that I -- I'll speak just for myself here -- need less of *many* nutrients, when my physiology is "tuned" and running well, than when it isn't. And as I think about it, it really makes sense to me. For e.g., some of the nutrients (magnesium being perhaps one of the preeminent ones) are more needed during times and situations of "stress"; and "stress" really is more about internal functioning, than about external circumstances. For many people (often including myself), most of the "stress" has been from either poorly functioning physiology, and/or results of emotional states; not so likely to be from e.g. too many tiger chases or typhoons or other strictly physical circumstances.

I have absolutely found that "the right remedy" *does* reduce nutrient needs; but I definitely agree that this could be the case only up to a point, and you really can't substitute remedies for good food.

So, I am not saying that any remedy would reduce the need to have *any* dietary magnesium, only that, if diet is otherwise good *and* the person's genetic makeup permits, a remedy *can* eliminate the need to take magnesium in supplemental form. The bottom line reason I think that, is that in the past, that's what happened for me (magnesium and several other nutrients). (In the past; currently I am again taking magnesium and other things, buuuuut that's neither here nor there!)

I think similarly, Shannon. To just supplement when we are not able to absorb or utilise what is already present in good food is overlooking real problem entirely.

Did anyone watch a UK show from several years ago called Eataholics? I was amazed. It wasn't really about over eating but wrong eating People who ate LITERALLY NOTHING more than chips with grated cheese for years still had normal blood profiles in spite of a total absences of fruit, veg and meat. They looked healthier than the presenters and how that could be when at the very least they should have had scurvy, I don't know.

Kind regards, Fran.

While this is true Roger, homeopathy may take it into account but has never focussed on the cause during treatment - in spite of some of the current practices being promoted "out there".

Homeopathy has always understood that the body's reaction (symptoms) to a state of disease show, in part, the way it is trying to heal and that if that way is supported with a remedy that mimics the symptoms, that self-healing response is supported and strengthened.

Yes, the body is under different stresses and exposures to some of those during Hahnemann's time but apart from removing obstacles to cure - something that has always been a part of homeopathic practice - these new influences do not change the way the human body responds or the way we support its healing efforts. While Hahnemann may not have faced some of the things we have to live with today (the reverse is also true) I doubt they would change his basic practices and instructions.

Kind regards, Fran.
