| If you missed last month's exciting quiz,
here it is again with the answer to follow:
Mom, it's time for the October quiz!
Not to worry, Shana, I am totally prepared
this month! As luck would have it, I have experienced yet another
tooth drama!
Mom, do people really care about that? Is that really interesting?
I don't think anyone wants to hear it! Now, I, on the other hand,
have a runny nose.
Shana, puh-leeze take your Nat-mur and
go into the bedroom! Now where was I? Ah yes! My unbelievably
interesting tooth story! It was a beautiful autumn day as I remember;
the birds were chirping, the crickets were singing.... Horns were
honking, sirens were blaring.... Plumes of poisonous greenhouse
gases spewed forth from the oil refinery smokestacks nearby, and
I, yes I, began to take notice of an irregularity emanating from
the tooth about which I last wrote in the July ezine.
Mom, no one remembers the July ezine!
Shouldn't you be watching television???
Now, as I'm sure everyone remembers from the July ezine, the molar
on my lower left side had begun to hurt; specifically, touching
the top of the tooth was very painful and I had very little hope
for holding on to that tooth until Pyrogen performed yet another
homeopathic wonder for me! Now, fast-forward to one month ago.
I was totally minding my own business when gradually I felt an
"incident" brewing in that same tooth! I didn't worry
because I "knew" that all I had to do was repeat the
Pyrogen! I did, and it didn't work!
If there was ever any proof needed that
every case is different, this was certainly it! After Pyrogen
didn't work, I became suspicious and checked to see if I had the
same tooth sensitivity on the top of the tooth as I did last time,
and, in fact, no, the sensation from last time was not there.
I looked in the mirror and there it was as big as life -- a huge
swelling of the gum on the facial side! "Oh my God, an abscess!"
Well, I took out Murphy's Repertory and
went to Mouth: abscess, gums (it's the first rubric in the Mouth
chapter) and took, probably, over the course of two days, most
of the 3's and even one of the 2's from that rubric, and....nothing!
I was in despair. I just knew I was going
to have to go to the dentist and probably have the tooth pulled.
I remember even doing the time-honored rinsing with hot water
and salt to no avail; in fact, it may have even made it worse.
"That tooth's nothing but trouble!" I said to myself.
Then I did something strange. I decided
to touch the abscess. What was I thinking? What was I hoping to
accomplish? But you know what? The most bizarre thing happened.
I was taken aback by an unexpected sensation: that of a very fine
needle going in. Ouch! How strange and rare! I was totally unprepared
for that. Shocked! I expected a sore sensation only! But as this
was so peculiar and characteristic, I immediately went for a dose
of _____________30C and viola! In a short time, I could feel the
pain going away.
The next day I repeated the remedy in a
200C, as I didn't think the 30 was doing all it could, and I was
rewarded with even more improvement. Ultimately I went up to 1M
and that finished it off. I'm sitting here right now with no signs
of that horrible ordeal whatsoever, feeling perfectly normal!
And by the way, do you have all your first aid remedies up to
1M? The 30C works well, but not always, so, don't try to save
money by thinking you'll purchase these potencies when you need
them, get them now! In fact, I was quite relieved to discover
that I had this remedy in the 10M if I needed it, but luckily
I didn't.
So, how did we do this time? Here are the totals below:
Nitric Acid 8
Silica 6
Hepar sulph. 4
Thuja 3
Apis 3
Spongia 2
Nux v. 2
Petroleum 1
Mercury 1
China 1
Agaricus 1
Lachesis 1
Kali carb 1
As no doubt all of you can see, Nitric acid and Silica were big
favorites. By the way, let me just add here the following: Oddly
enough, by the time you read this, the election here in the United
States will be over, meaning that as you're reading, I am either
jumping up and down for joy, shouting, "Obama won! Obama won!"
or standing on the ledge of a very tall building. And now back to
our show. So, we have three winners this month! Yes, three people
guessed that the remedy that felt like a needle going into the gum
on pressure was, Apis! I mean, that's
what a bee sting feels like, right? That was my first thought, so
I went with it. As a confirmatory, remember my saying that I tried
the hot water rinses and they did nothing except for possibly making
me worse? That would certainly go for Apis; and secondly, isn't
an abscess a swelling, much like a bee sting? Well, it totally worked,
I have been fine ever since. Maybe we need to add Apis to the "Mouth:
abscess, gums" rubric, with a subrubric, "needle-like
pain, hot water agg."
So, who were our winners? Congratulations go to: Jitka,
Eli and Lucio! Oh Dr. B..... where are you?
