Obsessed about disease

[Shannon Nelson]

Just a reminder about cocculus--stupor is only at certain point(s), and
there is also the prior, active picture. E.g. Morrison says:
"Cocculus is a remedy affecting mainly the central nervous system and
in most cases there is at least some component of vertigo. It is a
remedy to be thought of in cases of progressive neurological disorders.
In these serious and rather introverted people (hm, does that sound
like him?) there is often a fundamental weakness of the nervous system.
This weakness is generally reflected first as an over-excitability of
the nerves producing restlessness, dizziness, and agitation. Later, as
the system becomes more dysfunctional, the nerve conduction becomes
distorted and delayed. The patient then becomes weak and confused. In
the end-stage, pinpricks may require a full second t register on the
patient who is in a nearly stupefied state.
health. The patient is concerned about both his own health and that of
loved ones. ..."
Best wishes,
Shannon

But this is what happens when the proving sx get 'bent' somewhat, there's little to suggest
this regarding a 'prior active state' in the provings, except maybe 'great talkativeness, witty
joking, iresistable desire to sing' - this pertains to the initial drunken like state you can
get with Cocculus (used in the olden days in beer to enhance the drunken properties that
are akin to the paralytic/stupor state) and hence the dizziness and vertigo because the
lower limbs give way first - and this kind of 'mania' hasn't been suggested in Emily's client.
There is a mania before menses but this won't be applicable and there is an angry
delerium but that is because the liver is involved in the poisoning. Also in the proving
'concerned little about his own health but very anxious about others'.

Do we fit the rx to the person or the person to the rx? Best wishes, Joy
