Cases Cured?Remedies?

In Sythesis repertory (via Radar)

there are 149 remedies in the rubric
Mind - Alcoholism

There are more than 200 other rubrics pertaining to alcohol / alcoholism
/drunkeness.

Probably somewhere around 200+ remedies which might be used in any given
individual case, depending on the details of the case..

Alcoholism might be cured just as any other dis-ease, but there is no
"magic bullet"
-no shortcut as opposed to taking the case in detail, same as with any
other case.

There is one other type of homeopathic cure for alcoholism, which
doesn't use homeopathic remedies; yet brings about cure on the same
principle of "likes cure like."
-it is called Alcoholics Anonymous.

If you'd like to pursue treatment of alcoholism, it would probably be
best to enlist the aid of a professional homeopath.. if you care to
mention your location, perhaps someone on the list is near you.

I have had 2 cases and cured them with Syphilinum and Carcinosin constitutionally + Avena sativa MT laced with Quercus MT . They were also taught EFT for the cravings - see www.emofree.com

David,

Thank you so much for this! Speaking as a cured alcoholic -- ten years
on Sept 24th if I don't take a drink before then -- I love your
perception about AA being homeopathic. So often I'm hard-pressed to
explain to the sceptics "how" exactly it works. Now I know why, it's
just like all homeopathic treatment... hard to explain "how," but it
does!

I also wanted to reply, that surely my constitutional treatment has
helped, even though I started treatment eight years into sobriety. Who
knows if I'd had it way back when, but there's no way I would've
believed homeopathic treatment would help. Doesn't matter now, does it.
I would never think of giving up AA not only because of the beautiful
support, but to ensure its ongoing availability for those who need it.

Great to 'see' you again on the list.

In my family we have had two alcoholics (long-term) who were cured (so to
speak) by nutritional means. While I feel that homeopathy is *important* to
use for this, as for any chronic disease, I feel that awareness of the
nutritional issues is also extremely important! My two family members are
both still much in need of "a remedy" (one is currently being treated, and
the other not), but neither is presently drinking *or* craving, and both
used only nutritional treatment.

Best wishes,

Craving for alcohol, sugars, & carbs may be a symptom (and co-creator)

Hi --
Your symptoms fit a candida dx perfectly, and would constitute a
"maintaining cause" which makes it much more difficult to get at with
homeopathy -though not impossible.. I bet I could do it -but
if I were treating you, the first thing would be a 10 - 14 day cleanse,
using the "Arise & Shine" herbal products. There's a great book that
details the cleanse process, called "Cleanse and Purify Thyself" I
recommend it highly.
After you've read it (or something else like it) write again, and I'll
help you figure out how to tailor a cleanse program to yourself.
I'll also give you info on an absolutely superior pro-biotic to take
afterwards.

Would you like to take on my case long distance? I've been using Richard
Moskowitz, but ... the alcohol is really restricting my life, not to mention
the temper fits I have.

I'm in NC near Charlotte -- homeopathy is practically unheard of here.

Just as information -- there are a couple of certified classical homeopaths in Durham, which is not NEAR Charlotte, but I'm sure you could arrange for an initial interview and then phone follow-up.

There is a homeopath in the UK who is currently setting up a and email, or
'distance' practice - you might like to try him. Go to his web site first,
which is www.homeupath.com and see what you think.
