Hi Vera,
Personally, I have not found coffee to anitdote remedies I have taken, and
using essential oils in my work as a massage therapist doesn't seem to
bother them either. However, I recently started seeing a Network
Chiropracticor, who uses energy contacts rather than physical adjustments of
the vertebrae, and it does seem to possibly be interfering with the
longevity of a well chosen remedy. I mention this because there are enough
similarities between the energetic effects of cranio-sacral and Network
chiropractic that the chiropractor suggested avoiding cranio sacral work
during treatment with him. He explained that they set up similar but
slightly different waves of energy, which seem to interfere with each other.
So, I'm interested to hear how your case became muddied. In my case, the
remedy worked really well, but has had to be repeated more often than
expected. If I get more clarity on this over time, I'll let you know.
On the subject of coffee, again... this is from a lecture Frans Vermeulen
gave last year-
"Another myth: coffee antidotes remedies. It may indeed affect nervous
remedies like ignatia or chamomila that are affected by excess coffee. But
Hahnemann’s pamphlet about coffee was political, not medicinal. The king of
Prussia didn’t want to pay the Dutch for coffee, and Hahnemann was close to
the family of the king. Hahnemann believes that coffee makes a person weak
and sentimental, and advised that his patients not drink it."
Best,
Susanne
