Minutus

Afternoon,
You might want to consider that this patient may be experiencing rebound
effects from the anti-hypertensive medicine.

The body's reaction to medicine of any type is to produce symptoms that are
opposite to those demanded by the chemical nature of the medicine. So, give
an anti-fever medicine, the fever reduces for the time the body is under the
chemical influence of the medicine, but then the body's reaction is to make
more fever. (It's the same basis on which we base our homeopathic
prescription, right ?)

Clinically one sees the same thing in patients who are on conventional
medicines in conjunction with (curative/toward curative) homeopathic
prescription. Patients ultimately appear more sensitive, if you will, to the
conventional medicine. Dosages and prescriptions must be adjusted to
compensate for this sensitivity (which may be seen as relative overdose
symptoms for the medicine in question *or* as apparent plateauing or
worsening of the symptoms for which the conventional medicine was
prescribed).

The continued use of the medicines with gross chemical properties and the
rebound effects of these medicines can certainly adversely affect the
progress of a case. As has been discussed in this forum in the past, while
withdrawal of conventional medicines is something that often needs to be
done, it is not something to approach with a cavalier attitude.

Sincerely,
Susan Beal

Hi Susan,

Thanks for your response. I got this patient off his meds over a year ago,
under the supervision of his doctor (the meds could no longer be given
because there was no evidence of need for them anymore--so continued dosing
would have been dangerous). He's done really well on Calc carb ever since,
but just this autumn his blood pressure began to go up again.

Is there a possibility the allopathic drugs would effect his body for this
long?
