Chelid. for constitutional?

[Shannon Nelson]

Can anyone describe or refer me to cases where chelidonium was used as a
constitutional/overall remedy (not for liver specific)?

Especially, has anyone used it this way (not as an organ specific) for a
child?

Thanks,
Shannon

Dear Shannon, I have used it a couple of times where there was a lot of
liver damage but the guiding emotional sx were those of tremendous guilt. A
colleague of mine has used it in a case of liver cancer, where there too was
a great deal of anxiety related to guilt. But I can't imagine using this
remedy without the liver and/or gall bladder being involved, although the
MM's do include such cases as racking cough and rheumatic/sciatica cases

best, Joy

Thanks Joy!
The thing that's piqued my interest is an unexpectly excellent response in
my son. Too soon to know if it will hold (been only two weeks since the
200c dose, but the response has been *wonderful*!), but it did get my
interest up! I guess I'll have to wait longer, and it if *does* hold, I'll
be writing back about it!!! (He's definitely "liverish" -- gets cranky and
angry, benefits from all sorts of "liver helps", tho probably not in any
"clnical" way.)
Anyway, thanks! I'll see what happens.
