| We invite
you to send in your favorite Tips and Secrets on homeopathy.
We will publish a select group each month, acknowledging the sender.
They may be based on your own experience or taken from homeopathic
literature. Please identify the source of your information and your
name and country. Send your tips to us at Alanheal@aol.com
Remember, a tip is not the whole
iceberg! Use these tips as part of a totality of symptoms. Let them
inspire further research. Using specifics ("take this for that")
in isolation may prove disappointing and can lead to suppression.
These
are the tips of our readers and do not necessarily express the views
of Hpathy.com or 'Homeopathy 4 Everyone'.

Medorrhinum Children
Medorrhinum should be considered for children who appear
stunted in physical, emotional or mental development. Medorrhinum
infants may have difficulty falling asleep, being too restless to
relax. Faces may have spider hemangiomas. They may be classified
as having failure to thrive with a big appetite.
The Homeopathic Treatment of Children – Dr. Paul Herscu
Thanks to Roy Gershon
Capsicum Children
The typical Capsicum child is fat, lazy, somewhat obstinate
and clumsy in movements. I have never seen a neat Capsicum
child. Very forgetful, touchy, easily offended and irritated. Poor
memory, slow learning in school and dislike of being away from home.
Sore throats with high fever, flushed face, thirsty for cold drinks.
Children’s Constitutional Types – Douglas Boreland
Thanks to Alain Chabon - France
Tuberculinum Children
The Tuberculinum Child will find out your most prized
possession and break it. When you are about to go somewhere, he
will throw an uncontrollable tantrum just to spoil your plans. Inside
he many wonder why he does these things, but he cannot control himself.
The Essence of Materia Medica –George Vithoulkas
Thanks to : Candace Peterson - Canada
Impotent Remedy
"It is particularly important to be accurate in diluting for
D-potencies, as a 1+10 dilution instead of a 1+9 will not potentise."
Homeopathy – How It Works and How
It Is Done – Article by Cyril W. Smith
Another Use for Aconite
You should remember Aconite in incarcerated Hernia, when
inflammation has started in the strangulated bowel, with burning
pain in the affected area. Also, vomiting of bile, great anxiety
and cold sweat.
Dr. E. A. Farrington – Lectures on
Clinical Materia Medica
Thanks to Tatiana Vodianova
Remedies for Blonds, Brunettes, Thin or Fat People
Certain constitutions are mentioned in connection with a remedy
as being best suited to it, but it must not be inferred that no
action will result in others when the symptoms agree.
Dr. J.T. Kent - Lectures on Homeopathic Materia Medica
Caution with Tuberculinum
Tuberculinum Bovinum – This remedy should not be
given when the heart is weak.
Dr. S.R. Phatak – Materia Medica of Medicines
Nosodes to the Rescue
If a case of an acute disease is slow in convalescesence, apt to
relapse, a dose or two of its nosode will work wonders. For example,
Pneumococcin for lobar pneumonia that is slow to resolve,
or Morbillinum for a case of measles where chest catarral
symptoms are persisteint.
An Introduction to the Principles and Practice of Homeopathy
–Charles Wheeler MD
Thanks to Thomas Rushfield - UK
Sulphur and Vaccines
"In the early days of vaccination it was found that the action
of Sulphur was decidedly adverse to the receptivity of
vaccines. According to Dr. Tierney, Dr. Jenner failed in vaccinating
thirty soldiers, all under treatment by Sulphur" (Robin Murphys's
Keynotes of the MM).
Thanks to: Katja Schütt (Germany)
Post Partum Infection
Pyrogenium is unrivalled in its ability to prevent or
reverse incipient or threatening post partum infections associated
with retained decidual or placental fragments. If the lochia turns
foul or the woman develops fever or chills a few days after giving
birth, Pyrogenium 200 will abort the illness.
Homeopathy for Pregnancy and Childbirth – Richard Moskowitz
MD.
Hair of the Dog
Tabacum 200 stops intense hankering for tobacco, after
it has been given up.
Dr. T P Chaterjee – My Random Notes on Homeopathic Remedies
Ah, My Pet
Paeonia is my pet medicine for ulcerative haemmorroids.
I also give Ratania.
Thanks to : R. Venkateswaran
Save the patient!
Guess the remedy and then go to the end of TIPS* and see what you
treated!
Nausea, fainting, black vomit, burning in stomach, thirst for small
sips of water, restless, anxious, fear of being alone, exhausted.
Move Over Ruta
For headache due to eye strain, Ruta was the standard
remedy. Since Onosmodium is proved, I can confidently say
that this drug has cured more cases of headache associated with
eyestrain, than any other remedy.
Therapeutics of Acute Diseases -Dr. Franz Hartmann
Thanks to William Gershon – U.S.
How Prepared are You?
A well stocked homeopathic kit will have 100% of the remedies most
often used for pneumonia. It will have most of the remedies often
used for Anthrax, Smallpox ( except the nosodes) and Peritonitis.
The Nose Knows
Psora greatly increases the sensibility of smell. Psoric patients
are troubled with the odors of cooking, flowers, paints etc. Tubercular
patients hemorrhage from the nose. A red nose with enlarged capillaries
depends on a sycotic element. The bones of the nose are never destroyed
by another miasm than syphilis.
A Comparative Study of Chronic Miasms – Dr. Y.R. Agrawal.
Thanks to Arthur Heller - Canada
Good Work if You Can Get It
While living in Paris, Samuel and Melanie Hahneman’s patients
included Lord Elgin, Lady Kinard, Baron Rothschild and Johan Goetha.
Misdiagnosis
One in five patients who died in the Intensive Care at a leading
U.S. hospital, was misdiagnosed. In some cases the error was so
great, that the patient might otherwise have survived.
USA TODAY 2/20/01
A Very Inexact Science
The error rate for misreading radiological reports (x-rays etc.)
is between 10-90%. The average error rate among radiologists is
30%.
Missed Radiologic Diagnosis: Medico-Legal and Ethical Considerations
- Leonard Berlin, MD FACR, American Journal of Radiology –July
1994
Don’t Swallow That Pill!
If you are in a U.S. hospital, your chances of being given the
wrong medicine or the wrong dose on any given day are….. 100%
!
One in 20 of all those admitted to hospital in the U.S., contract
serious infections while in the hospital. These infections are a
leading cause of death in this country
Institute of Medicine Study –“To Err is Human”

* Save the patient! Answer: If you guessed Arsenicum,
Congratulations! You just correctly prescribed for a case of Yellow
Fever.
