Did I Shut off the Stove?
Causticum – Great anxiety that he will forget something.
A type of compulsive neurosis can occur. The patient feels absolutely
compelled to check and recheck for dangerous mental lapses (ie.

recheck a short time later.

Brrrrrr!
Causticum is useful in paralyses which are traceable to exposure
to cold, especially dry cold winds. Aconite suits well in the beginning
and Causticum more when paralysis has become chronic .

The Anarchist
Causticum- Anarchist, ailments from grief, fright, anticipation.
Anxiety on waking, full of worries about others, restlessness driving
him out of bed, restless at twilight, grief day and night with weeping,
easily offended, as if guilty of a crime, mispronounces words.

Don’t Be a Repeat Offender
Never repeat your remedy so long as it continues to act. Never
repeat the dose in a proving, while symptoms are manifest from the
dose already taken.

Vipera – Painful swelling of veins, such as varicose veins
and phlebitis are treated with this remedy. When the legs hang down,
they feel so full there is a sensation they will burst. Better raising

Marasmus
A gradual wasting of the tissues from insufficient , imperfect
food supply, or from poor absorption. Abrotanum is a good remedy
for marasmus in children. The emaciation begins in the lower limbs
and gradually spreads upwards so that the face is affected last;
that is the opposite of Lycopodium, Natrum mur and Psorinum.

The Dollar
“A considerable observation amongst medical men will lead
one to discover that the dollar is the chief end of the practice
of medicine when practiced in the old way; there is nothing else
in it, nothing to admire or cherish.”
James Tyler Kent, M.D. – Lectures
on Homeopathic Philosophy -

Medorrhinum Caution
We must be careful with Medorrhinum in cardiac cases. Give 30

a big aggravation.

Rapidity of Homoeopathic Remedies
Observe the rapidity with which remedies affect the human system;
there are some that are long, deep acting acting. Natrum mur is
one of these. It operates very slowly, bringing about its results
after a long time, as it corresponds to complaints that are slow,
that are long in action. This does not mean that it will not act
rapidly; all remedies act rapidly but not all act slowly; the longest
acting may act in acute diseases, but the short acting cannot act
long in chronic diseases. Get the pace and periodicity of remedies.
In Acon, Bell and Bry we have three different paces, three different
motions, three different forms of velocity; so in Sulph, Graph,
Natr mur, Carbo veg,- a different form, a different development.

Cadmium sulph
Many years ago taking a class from Robin Murphy, he told us about
Cadmium sulph for stomach problems associated with radiation treatments
for cancer. I asked him whether it would work for the hard, almost
bone-like scars left which appear after radiation treatment. He
said to try it out.
I found that Cadmium sulph 6x would transform the hard tissue into
soft usually within 2 weeks .The length of time needed obviously
depended on the extent of the scarring. 6C and 30C were not effective.
Since it is impossible to get Cad. sulph in the 6x potency any more
(in the US), I now use manual means. FYI, there is only one way
I know to do it. The scar tissue technique taught by Frank Lowen
in a course called Manual Perceptions 2. This technique makes an
immediate difference after 1 treatment, but cleaning up all the
scatter radiation tightness may take a number of sessions. Homeopathy
is more cost-effective!
