Bothrops Lanceoolatus

[Jean Doherty]

Will inform how my Hellebore patient is progressing later.
Recently an Indian gentleman came to see me with a history of a stroke and
TIAs.
He wished my blessing in taking a 30c potency of Bothrops instead of aspirin
type drugs. I advised that I thought he would get into trouble eventually
if he took it every day and should reduce to maybe 1/week. I thought his
constitutional remedy was Arg Nit. I wondered if not to earn disapproval of
orthodox system should he still take low dose aspirin or equivalant
Of interest he also brought his wife along with a long history of
Bronchiectasis. She had been on antibiotics for 6 weeks and wished to use
Homoeopathy in an attempt to reduce antibiotics.
I think this is OK as I have bronchiectasis myself and usually can get out
of trouble with my remedies. It is not easy and I have been astounded by
the repetition I have needed of high potencies and of the variety of
remedies I have needed. Also the fact that the same remedies may not work
next time I thought her remedy might be Sepia and advised 2 doses daily
for 3 days. 3 or 4 days later she had to be admitted with haemoptysis???
Sorry this letter is so long Jean
