Aurum for Survivors
Another situation in which Aurum has great value is when one of
the two partners in a longtime marriage dies: the surviving partner
feels that life is not worth living anymore. "I have lost the
sunshine of my life," they say. Not uncommonly, they die shortly
after the death of their partner. Many people in nursing homes could
use this remedy, as they are often in a state of "abandonment":
no more spouse or husband, few friends left in their life, and often
few visits from family members. These people could truly say that
the sunshine has gone from their lives.

The Mind of Anacardium
The Anacardium patient imagines he hears voices talking to him.
He has a sensation as though he had two wills, one commanding him
to do what the other forbids. Anacardium has the propensity to swear.
I treated a minister with a penchant for profanity ; try as he would
he could not help it. Anacardium made a complete cure.
Clinical Materia Medica – Dr. E.A. Farrington
Calcarea Silicata

sensitveness to drafts. Emaciation. Better lying on back in bed.
Great weakness on least exertion. Bones sore to touch. Confusion
on waking, after eating, after exertion. Worse consolation. Delusions
about dead people, hears their voices and answers them.
Offensive cold sweat of feet. It has cured epitheloma, lupus, cataract,
hydrocele. It greatly mitigates patients suffering from epilepsy,
making the fits lighter and farther apart.

Eupatorium Keynotes
These three symptoms are a sure guide to Eupatorium perfoliatum:
Chill 7- 9 A.M.; intense aching in the bones before the chill; vomiting
bile between chill and heat.
Eupatorium is especially adapted to worn out constitutions of old
people or inebriates.

Tuberculinum
Tuberculinum’s insomnia is often ameliorated by food, the
symptom “Cannot get to sleep from hunger” being well
known ( also Phos, Ignatia and Lyc, any of whom may be driven to
midnight snacks). This miasmatic type has a capricious appetite,
or can eat much but remain thin.

Thuja has Oral Problems
Thuja affects the teeth profoundly; the roots become carius, while
the crown remains relatively sound. The gums are swollen and inflamed.
Pyorrhoea alveolaris is often helped by this remedy. Thuja has also
helped epulis ( gum boil).

Cyst in right kidney
Woman 40 years of age with cyst in right kidney. When she was
treated with Terebinthina 6C the cyst disappeared, but later it
her uterus was affected and there was heavy bleeding. The second
remedy prescribed was Apocynum 6C. The cyst in uterus also disappeared.
The patient is very happy and has had no more complications. “Apocynum
is a remedy possessing alternating conditions, one of which usually
involves the kidney ....hemorrhages from the uterus.” says
George Vithoulkas in his Materia Medica Viva.

How Common Symptoms Become Important
Vomiting and diarrhea by themselves are common complaints, but
when found together at the onset, suggest Arsenicum album. Headache,
fever and vomiting, considered separately, have little value in
prescribing; but when considered together very often lead to Veratrum
viride.

Effects of Scorn
In one year at least ten school boys in Japan took their lives
due to being teased, tormented or ostracized by other children.
It is fascinating that one of the primary medicines for suicidal
depression, Natrum sulph, is also given to people who are extremely
sensitive to scorn. Some of these boys lives might have been spared
had they been treated homeopathically.

Tuberculinum in Arthritis
Tuberculinum is one of the common remedies for juvenile rheumatoid
arthritis. The symptoms may seem similar to Rhus tox: Pain and stiffness
from damp weather, change of weather, sitting for too long, rest,
standing too long and first motion after rest.
One differentiating point is that Tuberculinum is worse from all
types of weather change.

Anemia
I wish to share my experience in the cure of an Anemic female,
aged 40 yrs.
I started with Ferrum Phos 12X. The hemoglobin increased from 7
to 9 in two weeks, but fell to 7 after a month. I then tried Calcarea
phos 30. The hemogobin remained 9 for 3 months, bit after that it
started declining. Then I tried Calcium supplements 600 mg daily
with Calcarea phos 30c, one dose a day. In a 2 months , hemoglobin
increased from 7 to 10. I continued the same and in another 3 months
it increased to 13. I continued giving Calcium supplement on alternate
days with Calcarea phos 30c once a month . For the past 10 yrs the
hemoglobin remained 13.

Trigger Finger
Restricted motion or awkward motion from shrinking membrane around
tendon.
When caused by injury, many people have been helped by Arnica 30
followed by Ruta 6. When hot and swollen with stinging pain, Apis
30 has helped. When finger is swollen, worse after rest or in damp
weather, and better by warmth and continued movement, then Rhus
tox has been helpful.

Brahmi for the Mind
I have used Brahmi - Q (Bacopa monnieri), an Indian herb, to improve
memory and learning ability. I studied for the graduate level examination
in chemical engineering and this medicine was very useful to me
throughout my studies. A government research institute in India
carried out extensive research and obtained very positive results.
In all disorders of the brain and nervous system, Brahmi plays a
positive healing role.

were gone. So fast!
