KIDS!!!!-- Elaine Lewis CHom |

| Did anybody read last month's thrilling and suspenseful Quiz case? Here it is again with the answer to follow: Shana, what the heck are we doing here, look at the time! Where's our quiz case? I don't know, Mom, nobody got sick this month, except for my heat rash. Shana, your heat rash is boring. What about my itchy eye? Your itchy eye is boring. What about my runny nose? Boring. Sneezing? No one cares, Shana! Just find me a case! Where? In my files! Oh, OK! Here's the one with the kid who has to take three steps to the left if he takes three steps to the right! That's not a case, Shana, that's the Hokey-Pokey! The what? Never mind. As usual, I have to do everything myself! Shana, you see this? This is what people want to hear, see? Ohhhhhhh....sprained ankle....... Yes, exactly, sprained ankle! Now, listen and learn! I would, Mom, but I'm bored. See ya! Kids!!!!
Here's the case. This email exchange took place May 25, 2008:
Kids!!!! (Just to give you some context, when I was a teenager, I twisted my ankle running up there stairs--on the last step! I couldn't walk on that foot for two weeks!) Do you know the remedy? Write to me at LEWRA@aol.com, the answer will be in next month's ezine. Oh! It may not be Paul Lynde and Dick van Dyke, but click here anyway: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VsQNy4wgMDM __________________________________
I can't believe it! I just can't believe it! I didn't even want to use this case because, as I said to myself at the time, "Everyone will know it, it's just too easy!" But, apparently not! No one knew the answer except for three people! And, in fact, it seems to have actually scared away my entire audience because only 13 people even voted! That's 13 out of 30,000 readers! Oy vey! Well, for the 13 brave souls who actually wanted to learn, gather around and we will discuss our two most famous injury remedies next to Arnica--Bryonia and Rhus tox. A lot of you knew that when you think of sprained ankles, you should think of Rhus tox. In fact, we even have a very entertaining Rhus tox sprained ankle case right here in one of our back issues: http://www.hpathy.com/homecures/hugall-ankle-sprain.asp You should read that so you'll be able to distinguish between a Rhus tox sprained ankle and a Bryonia sprained ankle. In the case from the above article, the sprained ankle victim had to keep walking, she had to keep moving! That's the famous Rhus tox "better motion" we've all heard about. But what about THIS patient? Arnica had brought down the swelling alright, but, what about the pain? The patient couldn't move his foot at all, not even a little! This is our great Bryonia keynote, "Worse least motion"! Bryonia people even get "locked" into position or "stuck" because of the pain, and they're the ones walking bent over into the doctor's office because they injured their back. "I can't straighten up! Help!!!" Give them Bryonia! (Oh, did I mention that the remedy was Bryonia? Sorry!) If Rhus tox doesn't keep moving, they get all stiff and tight and achy. So, you see, Rhus tox and Bryonia are polar opposites! Whenever you see a case where the patient is trying to hold perfectly still, regardless of the ailment, that's Bryonia! Especially with fractured ribs. In fact, they may even hold their ribs to immobilize them. In a painful cough, if you see the patient holding his ribs while coughing, that's Bryonia; hence, the Bryonia keynote, "Better firm pressure." They may lie on the injured area to immobilize it. In a sprained ankle case, they may want it wrapped tightly with an ace bandage. Let's see what one of our readers had to say: Dear Elaine, To quote my favorite homeopath... [I wonder who that could be...?] "Whatever the injury may be, whether it's a broken bone..., a bruise or a sprain, the reaction of the Bryonia person is always the same: He can't move! Even the slightest movement causes a sharp pain! ... an ace bandage gives relief. He will want the area immobilized." Katie PS - Really, the following is my most favorite homeopathy article to pass around to my friends: http://www.hpathy.com/papersnew/lewis-sports-injuries.asp I wonder who wrote that? Probably some idiot! Well, now for our list of winners.... Congratulations to Eli, Katie and Mary-Jane Sharratt, the smartest people... in the world!
