Minutus

This man had quite a hazardous time. He had IV antibiotics and cortisone
in intensive care. A dose of Crotalus Horridus {which I was fixated on
because it had helped him greatly previously, and because of the neck
swelling and throat pathology} on 4th day did not help. A few doses of
Phytolacca 30c were given. When I eventually was able to see him about 6th
day [in a ward just adjacent to intensive care] there was still difficulty
breathing swallowing and speaking. He was in a propped up position. Could
not lie down. The discomfort was more R ear and throat and chest There was
hemming . He had great fear he would not get well.. My main concern was
not to aggravate and thought of the options Phosphorus [wanted his wife
near but not necessarily hand holding] Medorrhinum [ I was too afraid of
aggravation] . I gave Causticum 12c to be repeated 3 times and then more
if helped and a dose of Chelidonium 200c. One could argue that he is
Causticum constitutionally as has worked with disadvantaged kids. One could
also argue that his ailments came from suppressed emotions which I often
associate with Naja but in this case and because it was R sided with
Crotalus. On reflection he is more a salt than an animal remedy. I have in
past thought of Nat Mur but seem to remember being told it had not been
useful.
He was in actual fact returned to intensive care that pm and more Cortisone
given. He started to improve rapidly, became quite euphoric [? Cortisone]
[? Chelidonium working] and yesterday was able to walk around and eat
normally.
It was a worrying time. I am grateful it has ended well. I was grateful for
care given by orthodox system.
We are to have a talk sometime about events leading up to illness and his
near death experience, Jean.

Thank you. I wish I had known and had had the remedy. I thought of
Causticum as the problem was so R sided Jean

This interesting and severe case you are offering us in the last weeks might
give you the very real and important second thought, a new hint maybe for you
and many others, regarding homeopathy TODAY - the fact that it is quite often
overrated. Especially lay people have a complete wrong image and expectancy
from this method.
I mean, the method has certain limits which must be recognised due to ethical
and judicial reasons for us, doctors.
In german they have a good saying which goes : "let`s (leave) keep the church
in the village", in other words in due place for it.
I mean, if somebody is coming with - say - severe circular, wired-like pain
in the chest, I at last would not start giving him Cactus grandiflorus in the
first place or whatever else but will order an EKG to be made, a troponin test
and than eventually send him to hospital. Or if someone comes with a colonic
tumor or suspicion of pancreatitis or things like these I will not start giving
him the aparent suitable homeopathic remedy but will sent him to operation or
to hospital.
It must be beared in mind from the very beginning, that homeopathy was
developed 200 years ago in absolute COMPLETE different conditions to the ones we are
facing today - especially from the point of view of the pathology we had and
have today, the enormous, radical change in society and in it's pathology and
that this homeopathy has to be adapted to todays realities, adapted in both
senses. Otherwise we break the hyppocratic oath which would be criminal.
So homeopathy is, of course, all right, but must be suitable to the case.
THIS case was NOT suitable for THIS therapy but for a good allopathic
hospital from the very beginning.
Homeopathy still is and will - probably - remain an alternative to allopathy,
the second choice quite often, let' s say in 40% of the cases or so.
The mistake is usually made in the beginning, when young doctors start
learning. They get teachers who are very old-fashioned and not ready to adapt and
denounce old theories or at last examine them critical, theories meanwhile
proven to be wrong, or, they are getting the wrong books, etc. So they get wrong
hopes. Than they wonder cases are not running or other bad things happen and
they get compromised.

Causticum is a different story, we can write about it, if wanted.
When symptoms are obviously right-sided or are irradiating from the left to
the right side, the first remedy one has to take into account is Lycopodium,
which is very broad and the Belladonna - Ca-ca pair, which are both related with
it and between. On the left, usually Lachesis has to be first taken into
account.
Let`s make it clear : I did not say these are the only ones for the side
modality, but the first ones to be taken into account.
