And let me add my hoorays at the prospect of more here about the ICTs!!!
I have been trying to save all of your descriptions here right along, but have lost some to computer crashes and upgrades. Am doing my best to save them.

Re: About constitutional remedy
Irene: I can’t remember if I told you that Walter’s last thyroid test came back normal! Dr. Dodds testing… so I trust it. I wonder if the ICT work w/you impacted his body so that it could turn around. You can’t imagine the relief I felt with that information. You said many things ABOUT him being a Nux dog. I didn’t/still don’t understand. I was telling my dear friend about his walk yesterday with a different lease… one of those long one that you can control when they get too far away.
I described it like this: He is sooo bright these days. I started using DCs old leash on him… the kind that moves in and out. You should have seen him yesterday when he realized that he could just run ahead and be free with limitations. We walk through this multi-million dollar loft back gateway. They had their trash out for pick-up yesterday. Before I realized what happened, he bounded forward with his bouncy running walk and was like LEAPING for joy. I was so happy to see him well and very happy.
Coat is still not good, but I’m giving him Sea Meal… I haven’t seen a change yet, but expect one because I used to use that on DC and he was a PBGV with a real PBGV coat… harsh and beautiful.
Are you aware of a homeopathic vet in Austin, Dr. Will Falconer? I read his blog and the information in his newsletter. I have no confidence in any homeopathic vet in this country. They just don’t seem to be able to let go of the allopathy and the difference in the way they have to run their practices to really use homeopathy. Well, I think he gets it. It would be wonderful if you could start a discussion with him on ICT. I think he would be interested in learning. I only know him as a person who reads what he sends to my e-mail box, but he also practices meditation and goes to the ashram in India. I think that must influence who he is a great deal. Check him out. I know about your experiences with the allopathic world, but perhaps he would be a different kind of guy to teach. He DOES NOT use allopathy.
Yes. I fell a kind of peaceful clearance of negative energy….. and I’m trying to understand what you are saying!
Oh, you’re welcome. You earn it every day.
Unbelievable. How do these people find you Irene? This is why you get so much support from the universe….. you actually care. I am amazed at this story. Let us know how it turns out.
Sending prayers for the kitty. I think you love this kind of challenge, that’s why they turn out good Irene.
Much love from Denver coming to the kitty and to you!
Vicki

Re: About constitutional remedy
Thanks Shannon - sounds ideal to add to what I do.
Does he associate a remedy with each face type then?
I do use faces to a small extent, esp if they are longer, narrower, straighter nose etc, as a small aspect of ICT determination if there are not enough other more obvious ones. Facial/eye expression can be useful too.
What I use is what sticks out as features of the individual. A feature that is just average, is not useful. So - just as in disease repping for simillimum, you seek unusual symptoms, not normal ones - so in ICT you seek unusual features, not normal ones.
For example, one ICT has a "look right through you" expression, while another has a "bright, must see it all" espression, and another is a "gentle look" and so on. The best one is the looks through you one, as it is the most unmistakeable.
So these are helpful when extreme for an ICT rather than "usual".
So one feature will be extreme for one ICT, and another feature willb e extreme for a second ICT - and it helps to look for ANY extremes and include them.
Also, for different species, different features are useful. I quite see how faces would be useful in humans - except that they may change due to illness or obesity.
For example, In cows, teat shape is a good area of usefulness, and it is consistent with other species' teat shape, but not as easy to determine in most species.....excuse me, what is yor teat/nipple shape?.... is not too likely to be appreciated in our own species. You can check it in cats adn mice but may need a magnifying glass.
In cats, tail features (fur length and type, tail length whether fur is longer at base or tip, whether fur is long t the tip or only just covers it, etc etc ) are very useful, and so are jumping styles and landing styles, but it is not so handy in humans, who are less prone to jumping about.
In humans torso to leg ratios and fingerprint patterns and finger length ratios are useful - but are not the best cat options.
SO for each species or breed, there are easier features to use to determine an ICT.
I like to use a wide variety of features - certainly enough to be totally sure of the ICT. When you get to that certain point there are always a dozen of more other characteristis that suddenly stick you in the eye as confiming ones.
The real need is for a repertory that lists all these feature for each ICT - listing them under the single associated Remedy, so it can be repertorized.
I also advocate adding them to the existing homeopathic repertories NOT separate ones, due the existing rubrics already in repertories that are relevant, and also becasue illness predipositions of an ICT type are already in the repertory under that remedy name.
It is all one subject - one being - one constitutional type.
The fact that we have another use of reperotries - simillimum against disease - is to me the "extra bonus" of a repertory. That is really a subsection of a remedy's true breadth of association with living beings. MOST of the features should be the normal ones at all ages - with their illness predispositions.
One could always allow selection of provings rubrics only for those who miss the wood for the trees:-)
Age at which the rubric occurs is also very relevant.
For example one ICT is born a tiny runt, but becomes a giant in adulthood - so you need relative size by development stage and it is useful to know how it varies.
Another is born with short limbs but as a teenager suddenly shoots up a foot or more in one year, all in the legs and arms. Looking for an ICT from such rubrics has to be done "for the current stage of life" or you can miss the ICT by looking for a big individual when they are too young to be big for their ICT.
Another ICT has a pot belly as an infant and in middle age but is a lanky teenager.
Another has giant ears and smallish ribcage as a teenager, but a huge ribcage and average ears as an adult.
One is shy at young stages and the opposite as adults.
Another is incapable of jumping well when young but does it fine when older. (There is always a physical connection to movement issues. The young one is too heavily built to jump easily but later fills out with powerful muscles to go with the heavy build.)
And so on - so the age at which a rubric applies is very important to record.
Also some illness predispositions only occur at specific ages...again the need for age/timing between newborn, infant, child, teen, young adult, older adult - described this way, not in human years as the stages vary by species in duration.
SO ICT is a truly huge subject to document well.
Namaste,
Irene

Re: About constitutional remedy
Ah that is fantastic!!!
He must be a happy chappie now.
I am not...
Would he perhaps like to join the ICT discussion here?
It is easier to discuss it in one poace for anyone interested, if only timing wise.
THis is quite ironic actually....
I started researching FIP in 1998, had my first success in Feb 2003. (No vet has yet has a successful case.)
My approach was to collect ALL the research I could find worldwide from at least a dozen countries, and see what was missing. Nobody was looking at what the virus does inside the cat, so that became my focus. I have studied more than 300 cases now, using blood/lab/autopsy/owner and vet description data, figured what was happening and what to do about it, and combined all that with the other research (DNA, where the virus comes from and what cells it lives in, and suchlike) I added my findings and put them in a long article on my website - the one the judge recently wanted me to take down, as he called it practice of medicine, but it is still there (It explains what FIP does and what to do about it till you find the right homeopath.)
I kept sharing this with vets of cat owners whose cats had FIP. and they pooh pooed it, as from someone who does not know what they are talking about.
But here is the irony: The cats of vets are not immune to this horrible killer disease caused by vaccine damage (or other damage methods) to the thymus gland. All of a sudden when a vet's own cat has it, they sit up and want help.
I have had such vets ask for help from Italy, France, South America, South Africa, Germany and other countries. In EACH case the vet was bowled over by the validity of the information, and immediately asked if they could translate it into their language as everyone should know this, and post it in their country for use there. I said yes of course.
At this point I have no clue how many languages it is posted in, but a search for FIP will bring it up in multiple languages and point to me, and the before/after cases of FIP I wrote about several years ago at HPATHY.
And here am I - I have a thumb on my nose and multple fingers waggling at a certain judge for helping my work to get better known and used by more people - triggered by his demand that I take it down:-)
Another irony is involved:
In my court case, the world's leading FIP researcher, well known to most cat lovers (Niels Pedersen in CA) was called as state's expert witness to show that my FIP information was a fraud.
I forget his exact wording (though it is public record) but he basically said he did not know anyone with a higher level of understanding of FIP - something like that.
Since then, whenever someone against homeopathy points out I am a charlatan on Facebook and was taken to court about it and lost, I point out that Pedersen found my information on FIP exceptionanly high quality, and they should just check the court record.
(Pedersen expected me to need a license to know so much about FIP.)
The fact is that no vet aywhere has had a recovery from correctly diagnosed FIP.
Only homeopathy has achieved it - two homeopaths specifically
(Sharon, are you on Minutus?)
Namaste,
Irene

Re: About constitutional remedy
Oh yes… he is so full of energy and joy that I can hardly control him. Especially with that leash that lets him bounce ahead of me and Katie! We can’t keep up with him.
Yes. Do you think I should invite him to join in on the discussion? I have no connection to him whatsoever except that I read his newsletter and his blog. Seems like he could/would likely enjoy these great conversations. Of course I don’t know about his schedule.
Wow. If you think it’s okay… I’ll send him an e-mail.
Wow…
I haven’t seen that at Hpathy, but I’ll look for it.
Should I send the link to Dr. Falconer with the invite?
Good point. He is a vet, right?
She is here Irene, but I don’t think she reads every day like we do.
Kudos!

Hi Vicki, Sure invite him to Minutus - I just read what I wrote, it has a typo, I studied over 3000 cases:-)

Re: About constitutional remedy
As lay person, I'd like to know how practitioners use constitutional remedies.
What's the advantage of even knowing the constitutional remedy of a person?
And, if a patient knows his constitutional remedy, can he 'exploit' this wisdom for his health?
Thanks,
Heidi
