Revisiting "A Bad Cold Threatens Kelly's Family Christmas"-- Elaine Lewis, DHom |
 |
|||
| Does anybody remember last month's quiz? Here it is again: OK, so my little seven year old "Coney" started coughing late one night, waking him from sleep. By the next day, he was coughing more and by that night, a lot! He was very thirsty, chilly, had no fever and was pale. The cough was productive but not too deep. He had a stuffy nose too. I started Phosphorus 30c (3 doses by bedtime). He awoke around 11:30 pm, coughing, sweating and very red faced and crying. He had a tummy ache--passing much wind and very sensitive to light. He had a headache. I tried zapping the phosphorus without much luck, so, I guessed it was not an aggravation. I then gave a single dose of Belladonna 30c and he fell asleep immediately. This is a very good sign! No more coughing until he awoke in the morning. I repeated the Belladonna first thing. Later that afternoon, I noticed him wanting to lie down more. He was tired and said he was dizzy. I repeated the Bell. 30c with no improvement. I re-thought the case, thought about the new symptoms and the fact that he was no longer thirsty. After consulting with Elaine, my most wonderful, thoughtful, learned, helpful homeopath... Ahem! ...and reasonably-priced, I gave _________ 30c. He quickly improved, dizziness and fatigue subsiding. ********************* So, how did we do last month? There were 8 right answers out of a total 13 votes cast. And the winner is....Yes, it's GELSEMIUM!!!! I can't say enough about Gelsemium... just last Saturday, I noticed that it was 1 PM and Shana was still in bed! I found this quite odd. I walked over to her bed side and saw an ice pack on the floor. This could not be a good sign because Shana only goes to get ice packs if there's something wrong. Also, since I didn't see her get it, it meant she got it early in the morning while I was out, meaning she had been awake for hours, not coming out, not wanting company, not complaining, so right away you have a clue to the mental state--indifference/apathy! I said, "What's wrong?" She looked "not present", dull, a bit distressed. She said her legs hurt/ached. Around here, that always means the flu! I got Gelsemium 1M right away and gave it to her. Forty-five minutes later I went back in to check on her. "Hey mom, can we go to the bookstore?" "Hey, you're better!" I said, "Aren't you!" Well, we never looked back! That was the end of it! Do you realize that could have been the beginning of a week-long debacle? She'd have missed school, I don't even want to think about it! Luckily, with homeopathy, you don't have to! When you think of Gelsemium, think of the flu; think of apathy, think of chills, think of thirstlessness, headache, weakness, sleepiness, shakiness, trembliness, dizziness, the "droopy-eyed" look. They may answer all your questions with, "Huh?" because they're slightly toxic; making an effort to think is just too much for them. You may see frequent urination. So, here are some of the comments from our readers who got the right answer: ***************
Dear Elaine,
The remedy coming to my mind is nothing but
our very special GELSEMIUM. Cheers
Hi Elaine, I think the remedy is gelsemium. The tired feeling combined with thirstlessness, and vertigo shows gelsemium in bold. God bless, ********************** So, congratulations to our fantastic winners: Bonnie Kacher, Joyce Allenberg, Krauke Kuchenbecker, LuAnn Batt, Anca T., Banaras Khan, Shefali and Dr. S.R.Sudarshan. ---------------------------------------------------- This month's winners will get a special 30% discount on one order of books from Hpathy Mall.
