Minutus

Friends,
Have you treated anyone diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease (attacks the
immune system, depletes the thyroid is what the allopathic community says)
If yes, have you given x-ray or thyroidinum? Or have more comprehensive
remedies done the trick? Thanks for any info or ideas on where to get info.
Best, Margaret

Dear Margaret,

Following is a case of Hashimoto's thyroiditis
beautifully treated by Jayesh Shah from Sankaran's
'Spirit of Homeopathy'. I love this one because it
shows the importance of individualization.

'Another good case example comes from Dr. Jayesh Shah.
It was a case of swelling of the thyroid gland, which
was extremely painful. It had come up acutely, and
they had done the blood test and found that it was
autoimmune thyroidis (Hashimoto’s disease). It is very
difficult to treat and is an acute condition. The
patient came to him for the first time and she wrote
down the symptoms, because it was so painful she could
not speak. She wrote: “I am not able to swallow, it
pains me very very much in the thyroid.”
And then Dr. Jayesh suddenly realized that what she
was expressing was “Aggravation from least motion”.
When you swallow, the thyroid moves up and down. So,
when she swallowed, the thyroid moved and when she
spat or spoke, the thyroid shook. The slightest
motion, least motion, any motion causes not mere pain,
but intense pain. The least motion causes intense
pain. This expression is not to be found in Spongia.
This is not the generality of Spongia. Spongia has:
“Goitre, painful on swallowing”. But when the patient
says: “When I move that part a little bit, it causes
such intense pain”, that is not the expression of
Spongia. This modality is met with by Bryonia alba. He
gave Bryonia, and within twenty-four hours there was a
dramatic improvement. Bryonia is totally missing in
the rubric “Goitre” in Kent’s Repertory!' (From EH)

Regards,

Ardavan

Dear Colleagues

Thank you Ardavan for this excellent response. Once again it shows that
Homoeopathy treats the person and not the disease name (Dr Afsar please take
note re your request re choleolithiasis). If you individualise around the
person and the symptoms they are giving, then you are on the way of cracking
the case and fining the INDIVIDUALISTIC remedy.

For your information, Bry is STILL not listed under External Throat Goitre.
BUT it is listed under Grave's disease (Toxic Goitre) and Basedow's disease
(Exophthalmic Goitre)

Beware of suppression!

Good healing
Soroush

Hi Ardavan, all,
What IS characteristic is that Hashimoto's thyroiditis is an acute
inflammation of a gland - and in Boenninghausen's Pocket book under:
GLANDS/Swelling/inflammatory you'll find Bry.

So with this general symptom and the modality < motion it is also possible
to come to the conclusion, that Bry needs to be the right remedy.

In Gross' 'Comparative Materia Medica' one of the differentiations between
Spong and Bry is:

Bry agg. and Spong amel:
by swallowing and eating!

Gross writes:"Spongia lacks the oversensitivity to pain, which is often
found in Bry. Sensitivity to touch, however, is found in both remedies."

All the best,

Gaby

Dear Soroush,

IMO it is better to say that prescription should be
based on the peculiar features of the dynamic aspect
of the disease and not on a common name used for
several different dynamic disturbances.

With the best wishes,

Ardavan
