Guess the remedy

[Dale Moss]

Hi, Ellen and all

I do appreciate your interest. Perhaps I might eventually do a website, even though I haven’t had a great experience with them. (I had one for the IgA Nephropathy Support Network, which I founded many years ago. First, it was hacked by ISIS; then my web designer inadvertently pulled it down with her own site. I decided the universe was telling me it was time to quit.)

At any rate, I’m working on my late mom’s estate right now and probably channeling her spirit. Maybe I’ll just let my heirs take care of the whole mess.

Peace,
Dale

Do you think Lappa might work for meibomian gland dysfunction, Elham?

I missed this email!

Will have to retrace my thinking but I happily usde ReferenceWorks. I searched styes [in the same remedy as] a few of the key words offered. I was pretty sure that prolapse is a much smaller concept that arthritis or eczema so I focused on a search of remedies that had those both. Then I started reading. Knowing the goal was a small remedy I didn’t pay much attention to remedies like Staph or Sil. In reading the MM for Lappa it really fit the quiz.

Sherril you are an expert searcher. What was your strategy? I thought about it, but it seemed so difficult with so little information. Please give me some hint as to your strategy. Or anyone else who had another strategy.

Best,

Ellen
Excellent! I will not forget this one. THANKS for your contribution to this list, I am enjoying having something to search.

Thanks Sherill. I have to try harder next time instead of feeling defeated before I even look. Pathologies as larger and smaller concepts is a good way of thinking.
Best,
Ellen

Hi Dale,
I have not used it for meibomian gland dysfunction. So I don't know if it will work there.

Ok just to change the topic till the madness in the US (and hopefully the world) ends.

This one is a hemorrhagic remedy. Almost infallible in Haemoptysis, usually associated with TB but not necessarily. It may have a dry cough or cough with expectoration. The cough is accompanied by expectoration of blood or blood streaked mucous from the lungs.

YAY! Quiz time. Haemoptysis or the coughing up of blood, usually associated with TB could be so many remedies. Phosphorus, Ferrum and so many more. Reading Phos. in Hering, however, I noted a reference to Acalypha Indica… “is excellent in the haemoptysis of pulmonary tuberculosis; severe fit of dry cough, followed by spitting of blood.”
If this is the remedy you were thinking, I wish cases were as straightforward as searching for quiz terms. THANKS!!!

Acalypha indica is also useful in hemoptysis associated with lung cancer. Per Sankaran, it’s the Tubercular miasm remedy of the Euphorbiaceae family.

Here’s a case (from Anshutz via Vithoulkas): "I had a case of hemorrhage per rectum that had baffled me for several months. No remedy had aided the case in the least, so far as I could see. ... I had given all the hemorrhagic remedies I knew of or could hear of. Still the bleeding came just as often, with increasing severity. Each time the patient was sure, she would "bleed to death", and I was not positive she would be disappointed. ... She became reduced in flesh and the hemorrhagic drugs became reduced in number until like the nine little Indians sitting on a gate the last one tumbled off and then there was none. As soon as I read Dr. Jones's monograph on Acalypha indica, I determined to try it. She had all the symptoms -- bright red blood in the morning; dark and clotted in the forenoon and evening; weak and languid in the forenoon, stronger during the afternoon -- except one, i. e., instead of the blood coming from the lungs it came from within the portals of the anus. I procured the 6x dil. and solved it in water.
It gave speedy, almost immediate relief. Each subsequent attack came less profuse and at longer intervals. She has not had a hemorrhage now for more than two months, while before she was having from seven to one (continuous) a week. She is gaining in flesh, is in every way improved, and keeps Acalypha indica constantly by her.”

Excellent Dale. Amazing that this woman stayed with your efforts so long.

Dear all
Acalypha is the correct answer. Have used it quite a few times for haemoptysis with wonderful results.

In some cases of drug resistant tuberculosis it works wonderfully on the hemorrhage unfortunately it does not cure the disease. At least from what I have seen.
