Hi Rochelle,
I took the following rubrics:
MIND - WEEPING - questioned; when
MIND - ANIMALS - love for animals
HEAD - PAIN - Vertex
SKIN - ERUPTIONS - scaly - silvery
SKIN - ERUPTIONS - cold - applications - amel.
The remedy that comes first is Nuphar Luteum. It is
the only remedy listed under SKIN - ERUPTIONS - scaly
- silvery (2)-source: T.F. Allen. Nuphar appears to be
a remedy indicated in Psoriasis when this is
associated with love /compassion for animals. I would
try to get more details of her "obsession" with dogs,
which seems to be a very strong sx. Nuphar has also
headaches localized in vertex (T.F. Allen).
I don't have any experience with this remedy and I was
wondering if anyone on the list has access to Wad
Stories by Jan Scholten, as this book has a chapter
dedicated to Nuphar Luteum written by Anne Wirtz.
Also, Dr. Jayesh Shah has conducted a proving of this
remedy and Riccardo Tomassini has published an article
about his experience with Nuphar in Homoeopathic Links
Issue 4/00. It would be great if anyone on the list
could share any information from these sources or
their own experience with us.

questions, make suggestions for remedies I can
research or any thing

permission for me to post this.

------------ ------
I first saw this child, then age 5 in October 02 as
her Mum wanted her
on my books after her previous homeopath (my good
friend and
supervisor) died. From that consultation: -
Pregnancy fine, birth overdue. She was induced because
there was
merconium appearing in the show. Delivered by
Caesarean. Breast fed
until 17months. Health was good other than colic
between 6-8pm for a
few months. Was taken to the homeopath for teething
Teething - average to slow
Walking- over 1 year
Talking -average
She was prescribed Puls 200 at 1 year, Bell for fever
and when she had
Rubella she had Calc 30 and stayed on that virtually
ever since. She
was given Calc Sulph at age 3 for jealousy after she
had a rash when
her brother was born and the same for Chicken pox. She
was then given
Calc 200 when she had a white tongue with a red tip
and Ars when
ulcers near her lips. This was all from her previous
homeopath. I did
not prescribe at that time. She appeared laid back
then and still is.
I next saw her age 8 because she was "run down". She
has had a cough
and then red blotches appeared. Mum gave her Calc 30
which got rid of
the cough. The eruption went away when Mum cut out
dairy. I prescribed
Calc 200. After the Calc she went droopy like a recent
bug then felt
better. 2 weeks later she had a tickly cough,
headaches - the
modalities were Sulphur which I gave in a 30 C - she
got better. I saw
her next June 06 - now age 9 because she has had
headaches and a sore
throat, can't get to sleep because thinking of too
many things. Calc 200.
I last saw this child in September 06 when Mum brought
her to me
because she has odd spots on her body with silvery
flakes which her
dad thinks maybe the start of the psoriasis that he
has. It started
when she went back to school after the holidays. Other
than that she
appeared more confident than when I saw her in June
and has stopped
going into her mum's bed when she couldn't sleep when
she was excited
about what was happening the next day. She was
sleeping well. I
prescribed a Calc 1M.
14th March 2007
She fell down the stairs a month ago and hurt her
coccyx. Mum gave
Arnica. It got better but thinks it maybe getting
slightly worse again.
The Calc 1M she had 6 months ago changed the psoriasis
into bigger
circular eruptions on her left arm (not the joints).
The eruptions are
circular, red with silvery dry scales about the size
of a very large
coin and on some of the scales look yellowy but this
may be because of
ointment dad put on once. They itch sometimes, no
discharge and can be
sore. We don't know at the moment if it is
winter /summer.
Sometimes when then are sore she will put cold water
on them to soothe
it. No modalities I could get out of her.
She feels fit and well in herself .
Her lips look dry and red.
She arrived with a mild headache inside the vertex.
She couldn't
describe it. (I EFT'd it away!!)
She is still not eating dairy.
I decided to retake the case.
She is tall for her age, average build, with a pale
freckly skin. She
has a couple of birthmarks which look like naevi .
She is artistic, creative, kind, generous and patient
and still very
laid back.
She is obsessed with dogs at the moment - drawing
them.
She likes company but will also go to her bedroom on
her own.
Not sensitive to music and not into dancing.
Fears - none that we could find- not bothered being in
the house on
her own.
Food - no real likes- desires bananas, or dislikes
except Brussels
sprouts.
Gets car sick sometimes- can't read in a car.
She is chilly
Knows her own mind. Consolation amel.
The strange thing is that when I ask this child a
question she can't
give me an answer. She just says nothing and if I push
her too much
she will dissolve into tears. (she has done on
previous occasions) It
is as if she doesn't know the answer. Mum says she is
very clever at
school and there are no problems there. Mum phoned me
back when she
got home to try to explain to me that she thinks she
doesn't answer
straight away because she can't think , and feels put
on the spot and
her mind goes blank. Mum says that she herself can get
like this. Mum
also says that she is not such a cuddly affectionate
child as she was.
