| Elaine, I'd like to help you out today but I seem
to be in a nose-dive....
...Which is good Kelly because it brings
us to this month's quiz!
It does? You're waiting for me to crash with a bottle of Arnica?
No, Kelly, Nosebleeds! This month's case
is a nosebleed!
Wow, this IS exciting! Who do we have to thank for this?
We have been blessed with a nosebleed, courtesy
of Gabi.
This is especially momentous because of all the songs there are
about noses!
Kelly, I'm afraid there are NO songs about
noses.
Don't be ridiculous! What about, "Start spreadin' the noooooze,
I'm leavin' today....I'm gonna be a part of it, New York, New York!"
That's NEWS, Kelly! "Start spreadin'
the NEWS"! It's "New York, New York" by Ol' Blue
Eyes!
OK, OK; what about Dylan's "Blowin' in the Wind"?
He didn't mean his nose! Look, Kelly, I think
we better just let Gabi present her case. Gabi in Canada, are you
there?
Yes, Elaine, you're coming in loud and clear!
Well, here's my horrifying story!
Santiago, my son, had gone to the park with
this brothers. He had been agitated all morning and I decided they
needed to take him out. He was also "tired" so they pulled
him in the wagon and parked him on the school grounds in the sun
while they played soccer. Santi is four and a half.
I was in the house when I heard Nico, his
brother, screaming, "Mum, Santi has a nosebleed!" Rushing
out, I tried not to panic which wasn't easy since we had already
dealt with Nico's ITP (Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia Purpura, an autoimmune
condition where the spleen attacks the platelets in the body therefore
causing bleeding and bruising) so... I had seen enough blood for
one lifetime).
The first thing I noticed was that the bleeding
was coming from the right nostril. It was profuse, coming on rapidly
and getting brighter. My first reaction was to run inside the house
to get a certain remedy in the 200C potency.
I left him with his dad while I did this
and came back and tried to sit him in my lap so I could hold a tissue
against his nose but he was squirming and agitated and kept saying,
"Don't touch me!" He was restless and visibly upset and
scared.
He then tells me he was hot in the sun and
I notice the concern for the bleeding on his part is worse while
I am there. I notice he becomes agitated when I come back with the
remedy and while I am with him.
So I gave him this remedy and I waited when
I remembered his recent violent behaviour:
biting, rolling his head, sticking out his
tongue, doing violent things towards others, kicking, dancing crazily
whenever the radio was on and striking his brothers... yes, charming
isn't it?
So while I was waiting for this remedy to
do something, I yelled to my daughter,
"Go get me the ___________30C!"
(the only potency I had)
The blood kept coming out as if from a fountain.
He was refusing to take the 2nd remedy but
after some coaxing he did. The bloody hankies were piling up...but
about 20 seconds after the dose of __________30C, a big long clot
the size of an earth worm started coming out the right nostril and
the blood was less profuse. Santi then got up and started playing
with his toys completely forgetting what happened!
His dad said, "Santi sit down, you
must rest." His mood had changed, he was no longer scared.
Another homeopathic miracle!
Thank you for sharing your harrowing experience
with us, Gabi! I dare say you saved yourself a trip to the Emergency
Room, but that's what homeopathy is all about!
Who knows the remedy? Please write to me
at LEWRA@aol.com
and let me know. The answer will be in next month's ezine.
