Inflammation/food for thought

[Carol Orr]

If I eat the wrong food I would get contractions in my gut. Now that the
turmeric has resolved that in two instances now....I'm going to stop saying
I've a contraction in my gut and say...I have an inflammation in my gut. I
react in a very short time if something disagrees with me...within a few
hours. So I'm very sensitive to certain foods...like whipped cream or cream
cheese. Whenever I have wine and gravy and bread together at a holiday
dinner...i will be sick later. Now candy makes me sick..in a different
way...and I think it is the gmos in the soy so I limit my candy to when i'm
desperate and try to make my own fudge at home.

So I can control these inflammations by changing my eating behavior. Should
this then be something that a homeopath should not include as a affirming
symptom in the overall picture? Sometimes I'll take a remedy and be able to
tolerate something I normally don't tolerate but the food sensitivities always
come back. I mean I wouldn't want to cure myself permanently of these food
sensitivities if my wonderful immune system is telling me...NO..don't eat
that. Or is digestion issues the seat of the problem and needs to be addressed
in any remedy. Or doesn't it make any difference. I haven't gotten to the
point where I notice if I can eat anything..whether my temper then becomes
inflamed(a problem I have had) but if it did....would that still yet indicate
a need for a remedy...if we knew it was food related.

I met a woman years ago whose father was an old fashioned type chiropractor
and he thought people ate foods that were bad for them and affected their
temperment so they could act out their emotional/mental issues. Like if
someone maybe was angry at their spouse..so they ate foods...high sugar or
whatever that would cause them to be irritated so they could pounce on their
spouse. Or is the problem really thinking too much about stuff like this?
Actually, sometimes I think that thinking is food...you know, food for
thought. Sometimes people get into some really bad thinking..jumping to
conclusions...going on a tangent...etc...(t bad food for thought? ) Are they
just eating the wrong diet and the correct diet for them would quiet down
their thoughts?

I doubt that. I think the susceptibility would always be there. I know a guy
who lives in the woods and has eaten pure foods his whole life. He seems so
calm and centered and so wise and yet I know intuitively that if someone
insulted him or was rude to him..he would take it very hard. Once he had an
abscess in his tooth and his cheek was swollen and he was trying to correct it
by fasting and I was worried about him and I said...don't you think you should
go to a dentist? And he socked me energetically...I could feel and see a
violent thrust of energy come toward me. I wonder if a homeopath would use
violence as one of his characteristics even though you certainly couldn't see
his actual fist being shot out.

Sliding back into homeopathy and combining it with nutrition......eating the wrong foods can give symptoms; not knowing those foods are harmful, patients do ask for treatment.
So you repertorise the symptoms, give a remedy, hurrah, the symptoms are gone and your patient can continue eating the wrong food without any apparent problem.

But here start the real problems:

1. even though the symptoms have disappeared, the destruction caused by the toxic food continues, until it reaches a point of non-return and you wonder why on earth you suddenly have Crohn's or ulcerative colitis, or liver/colon cancer after having had a cure for IBS so many years ago.....suppression (book on its way about that.....)

2. even though the symptoms have disappeared, you have not dealt with deeper issues (the patient might not be willing to but that is not the practitioner's problem); removing complaints by modifying the environment is a safer albeit sometimes harder way to treat a patient and then you have access to the real person and can proceed with the real treatment....makes life a lot simpler for the homeopath......
