Stroke-adminstration in aq solution

[APEX PRECITECH]

Hi Anna, Hi Shannon,
As you were discussing the way of administration of
doses, and Anna had doubts on aqueous solutions, I am
giving a useful article written by Dr hans weitbrecht
in www.boger-boenninghaussen.com. here they are

In the following chapters, I will present my ways of
using the Q-potencies.

The weakest application is: one of those medicated
granules dry on the tongue once off. This dose is
strong enough to remove an acute situation.
Dissolving this granule in a teaspoon of water, and
then taken orally, creates a dose with a considerably
stronger impact.
To strengthen the dose even further, one medicated
granule is dissolved in a glass of water and several
teaspoons of this solution are applied orally at once.
From the same glass, the remedy can be repeated
without adverse effects, if the solution is stirred
around each time before application.
For Olfaction (application by smelling) the following
preparation has worked well:
Place one medicated granule in a 10 ml glass bottle
and fill it to the half with alcohol. Shake it up well
and hold it under the nose taking 2 good whiffs of it
as one dose. Before repeating, this bottle should be
succussed ten times similar to the application shown
below.

The most common application in my clinic is:
One medicated granule is given into a 200 ml glass
bottle (Stock bottle), which is filled ¾ with water.
The water should be clean and without any added
chemicals. A small amount of high % alcohol is added
next. A scale, dividing the liquid into 7 parts is
stuck to the side of the bottle. Mark a dash every
centimetre. The bottle is shaken 10 times against
something hard before every use. The patient does this
preparation.

I give the remedy as follows: one portion of the stock
is given into a 250 ml glass and filled up with water
and stirred around. Of that mixture 2 to 5 teaspoons
are taken orally, the rest of the glass goes down the
sink. Commonly I would repeat the remedy every 1 or 2
days. A bottle then lasts 7 to 14 days. I usually
leave 5 -10 days without remedy after finishing the
bottle, to see what symptoms are expressed. This break
enables the life force to freely express itself in
symptoms, often indicating the next remedy through a
change in the symptom- picture. However the remedy
does not stop acting immediately, when the patient
stops taking it. Deep and long acting remedies can act
beneficially for months.

Should there be a marked improvement after the first
application(s) of the remedy, then the patient is held
to discontinue taking the remedy and to get in contact
with me.

This basic method can be modified in many ways. For
instance the remedy can be given only once every 7
days, even once a month in steadily advancing cases.
The remedy can be given a few times a day out of the
same glass, stirred around before every application. I
gave up to 4 times 2 teaspoons in quick succession in
fast advancing disease, before taking out the next lot
from the stock bottle.

Aggravation of single symptoms felt shortly after
taking the remedy is due to sensitivity towards that
remedy. Before changing the remedy, the strength of
the next dose should be weakened in the following way:
Take one teaspoon of the first glass and put it into a
second glass of the same size. Fill the second glass
up with water and give 1- 4 teaspoons. Should this
still bring forward the same reaction: weaken the
remedy further by giving one teaspoon of the second
glass into a third glass fill, it up with water and
give 1- 3 teaspoons .You can repeat this through up to
7 glasses. I never had to dilute further than the
third glass. I usually try two more times after this
initial reaction and, if I still get the same
reaction, stop giving this remedy and retake the case
.In many cases a remedy related to the former then
worked well.

I find that robust persons with good nerves can
usually tolerate 2+ teaspoons of the first glass
without feeling any aggravation. Tense, stressed-out
individuals only tolerate one teaspoon from the third
glass. If the third glass is tolerated a few times, I
usually go back to the second glass and eventually to
the first.

In order to find the best strength for the individual,
I advice, if the remedy is tolerated without any
adverse effect, to increase the strength by taking one
extra teaspoon every time, till reaction is felt
straight after taking the remedy. Then, the strength
should not be increased any further.

Aggravation after a few days of taking the remedy ,I
stop giving the remedy and reassess the case as soon
as the symptoms have settled. I saw this happening
after 2 to 7 days. Only as a last resort in very acute
situations would I antidote. I use 200C-potencies to
antidote any Q- potency. This did not happen to me for
a number of years.

During my 10 years of Q-potency prescribing, I did
different experiments. I gave 10,15 or 20 doses from
one stock bottle shaking it ten times every time
before use. After about the tenth dose the results
were getting poorer and after the eighteenth dose
proving symptoms were showing up. Single
proving-symptoms also showed quickly in susceptible
individuals if I shook it only once or twice. This
occurrence stopped when I shook it more than 5 times.
It seems to me that after about 100 succussions to the
bottle the remedy does not increase in potency any
more and rather sharpens its action .I also found that
this limit of 100 succussions is much lower if a
smaller size stock bottle is used (50 or 100 ml.).I
have no experience in the use of 10 ml dropper
-bottles containing the remedy in a 30% alcoholic
dilution.

I also tried to use up the stock bottle in only 3
lots, giving it about 25 succussions every time before
taking it .It worked out ok in acute cases, but there
was no advantage in chronic cases.

If I change from the C-scale to the Q-potency-scale I
do it in the following way: 200c to Q4 and 30c to Q2.
In return, every C-potency above the 30C follows any
Q-potency well. When I return to an original remedy
after a long time (1/2 year+, during which I gave
other remedies),I start off with Q2 again. Not so if
only one or two inter-current remedies were given in
single doses of the C-potency scale. Should in the
latter case the original remedy be still indicated,
then the remedy should be given in the next higher
potency of the Q-scale. This suits the situation where
the action of a deep and long acting remedy was
interrupted. To combat these interruptions I would
give inter current remedies of the C-potency scale in
the 30C or 200C strength in single doses, if
necessary. I leave these remedies act out for a few
days, till this acute situation has subsided.

Sometimes, I give C-potencies in the following way: I
dissolve 1-2 granules or 1 tablet in a half empty ½
pint glass of water and give after a good stir 1-4
teaspoons as a single dose. Before repeating of the
same glass: stir around ten times. I would not repeat
more than 3 times of the same glass. This kind of
repetition works well in acute cases if the glass
containing the remedy is not left standing around for
more than two days. By the way, you can make up every
C-potency in a stock bottle and give it similar to the
Q-potencies . I usually divide into 7 to 10 doses and
shake more than 10 times before every application. .
This application works much better than the
application of a single dose dry under the tongue.

Be aware-You can easily overmedicate with Q-potencies
by repeating them in an routine manner. This forces an
artificial disease on the life-force, I.E. puts it
into a straight jacket. Good homeopathic treatment is
not forceful, it is rather the gentle restoration of
order in the self healing capacities of the living
organism.

I use my own stock of Q-potencies. I got them from
Helios in 2 gram -granule vials. I usually send out 2
or 3 granules of the same potency and pack them
airtight in a sachet approximately the size of 3 cm by
3 cm. I send out more than one granule because they
are very small and easily lost when the sachet is
opened. I make and seal the sachets with a small
machine otherwise used for sealing freezer bags.
Alongside the remedy, I send a detailed leaflet,
explaining the matter, which can be obtained from me.
Normally I send them out by post attached to an
information leaflet. In cases that are more urgent, I
use Bus Eireann's courier service here in Ireland.

Here are my more philosophical thoughts on the matter:

Giving a C- potency in a single dose is like giving
the car a push and then leaving it roll on, till it
eventually comes to a halt. With the Q-potencies you
drive the car through the gears until you reach the
maximal comfortable speed and then keep it at the
right speed. Your dosage follows the signals of the
life-force. With Q-potencies you are in the driver's
seat all the time . You can create a much more dynamic
artificial disease. Hahnemann claims that through the
use of Q-potencies the recovery time in chronic cases
can be more than halved. From the life-force's point
of view, an acute disease is a rather static
disturbance like a thorn and therefore perfectly
matched by a single dose of a remedy in C-potency.
Chronic miasmatic diseases, especially Psora with its
kaleidoscopic nature, have a dynamis in themselves
.The behaviour of this class of chronic miasmatic
diseases is far better matched by the flexibility of
the Q-potencies

Hello Shannon, Hello JVS,
THANK YOU for your e-mails. I think now that aq.
solut. are the way-caust. really seems to be indicated
here: all her symptoms are in its picture!
But THESE symptoms do not change, and I don't know
why. And how to make them change (i.e. preferably go
away). I thought that changing potency from 15c to 30c
would be the answer but no, she only gets short-lived
caustican symptoms (which to me means that:
*her vital force is working, hence they do not last
long
**causticum is producing its symptoms(scabies, feeling
of lime burned in stomach,mist before the eyes,
agglutination of eyelids in the morning etc)so it is
able to act on her vital force (if I used high pot.
and frequent doses I'd be afraid I'm proving it here
but it was always 1 dose, 2 month apart (causticum is
long and deep-acting so I wanted to give it more
time).
Nov 16 will be again 2 month since caust 30c and again
no change in main symptoms (she always says though
that emotionally she feels better) just agglutination
of eyelids several mornings, scabies and rash for a
week etc.I am really at a loss here:what should I do?
Increasing potency to 200c (and what if the result is
the same, and my guess is it will be)? Aqueous
solutions-(this medicated globule is of ANY potency?
just one globule, not one dose?)?
Or a dose of caust 30c or even 200c into a bottle of
spring water, succusse 10 times and have her sip
(a dose) say, once a week (and shake 10 times before
each dose).

Next in line were bel and rhus-t but caust was way
ahead and I think it would work if only I knew how to
make it. Has anyone treated a pt after stroke???

Dear Anna,
Causticum can be given every day in aqueous solution.
First 30 c solution has to be prepared. This can last
14 days. Then 200 c the same way. The medicinal impact
in gradually increasing potencies due to succussing
will definitely bring about reaction in the vital
force. Once aggravation is established, medicine
stopped and next rx may be indicated or still
remaining sx can be treated with the next potency. If
you can start from LM 1 up that will do a world of
good to your patient if you are confident of the Rx.
I have not treated a pt after a stroke.
All the best

I have to say that Dr Ramakrishnan (I am on his post grad course) reckons a stroke is very difficult to treat if treatment is not started immediately after the stroke.

Thank you JVS - I really appreciate your help.
It's very frustrating , probably more to the pt,
to wait without any change in symptoms; hard not to
have doubts.
Thanks again, I think we'll try aq. sol. of caust.
Best regards,
Anna
