Bellis-p [was: Coccyx injury

[Shannon Nelson]

Wow, looks like Bellis-p is another remedy that deserves to be known much better!
I went looking for any other posts I'd saved about it, to add Joy's note, and found this "miracle story" posted in 2000 by JW. Bells and "deeper tissues". (Sorry about the wide spacing--it's normal in the original post, and I don't know how to take it out of an email!)

A Miraculous Case

by Ramona Maiolino
On Labor Day, 1992, my friend Lester had to leap through a second story

window to save his life from a fire. He landed partially in the tree in the

front yard, and had a fractured tibia among other things. I gave him some

remedies at that time. He then moved two hours away, inasmuch as his home

was destroyed and he needed a place quickly.

Last year, in October 1994, after Lester had moved back into the city, he

complained of pain in his left leg on the outer side, a few inches above

the ankle. I gave him one pellet of Ruta 200C. He said he felt immediate

relief. (At this time I was working on the assumption that it must be a

ligament.)

About December 1994, he told me that his leg was again bothering him. He

described it as "it feels like a piece of bone is coming out," which I

dismissed because it had been two years since the fire, and he was walking.

However, he often limped. I gave him one pellet of Ruta 1M and he said he

felt something happening, but couldn't describe it well, although he said

it always felt better after a remedy.

In February 1994, Lester was visiting and began limping again. I began to

think he had a very deep injury to the periosteum, which led me to a remedy

that Dr. Subrata K. Banerjea spoke of during a seminar I attended. Dr.

Banerjea, of India, told us he had included ancestral tips from his

grandfather and father when authoring his Materia Medica.

Dr. Banerjea's tip: "Bellis Perennis: Sprains and bruises, myalgias and

neuralgias, rheumatism, boils, etc. Potency 50M: Ancestral tip! Complaints

resulting from injuries to deeper tissues and nerves. Potency of par

excellence!"
I gave the suggested remedy in the suggested potency-- Bellis Perennis

50M-- to my friend at about 10 p.m. on a Wednesday night. On Friday morning

he called me to say "Around 2 a.m. (Friday morning) I woke up and felt

something strange going on with my leg, I felt something moving and poking

out of my skin. I was sure it was bone. I took the courage to pull it out

of my leg. It came out effortlessly. It had only two drops of blood on it.

There was no oozing, pus, or anything and the skin sealed up by 9 a.m. that

morning. The thing was two inches long and one inch wide and covered with

bloody goo. It looked like a bone. I decided to wash it off. and keep it.

After washing it, I discovered it was a shard of glass, obviously from the

bedroom window I jumped out of. I took medicines all my childhood life, and

I never had anything work that quickly."

When I saw the piece of glass I was truly amazed. Little did I imagine that

this was an old wound with a foreign object in it. One end of the glass is

pointy (the end which was poking out of his skin), but the other end looks

like it broke off. This was definitely an injury to the deeper tissues.

I'll never know if Silicea would have removed the foreign object, but I

know Bellis worked this time. And Lester walks normally and also dances

again. He is totally convinced of the miracle of Homoeopathy
