Accidental Proving of Cannabis Indica

- Dr. Manish Bhatia

I was ambulant by the next morning. By 2 p.m., we were at home. I decided to go to Delhi the very next day but this time Mummy wanted to accompany me. So on 22nd we started towards Delhi. I submitted my project report on 23rd. In Delhi, I met Amit and also bought lot of homeopathy books. We were back by 26th. It took me nearly 7 days after 20th to feel completely all right.

It was a very unpleasant and yet a very important learning experience. Now I will list the symptoms that appeared in me during those first 24 hours.

* Sensation as if a ball is rising from stomach to throat.

* Headache - in parietal region. Bursting, as if top of head would fly off. Throbbing headache.

* Extreme dryness of tongue, lips and buccal mucosa. As if parched. With numbness.

* Lips sticking to teeth with difficulty in opening the mouth due to very thick saliva.

* Involuntary desire to laugh, arising from stomach.

* Sensation as if ants were crawling over the whole body.

* Unable to place feet where intend to.

* Exaggeration of distance with sensation as if cut off from the real world.

* Exaggeration of time & distance. Small distance seemed large.

* Sensation of heat in anus.

* Complete motor paralysis with acute senses, especially, hearing.

* Retention of urine.

* Involuntary twitching of muscles and shaking of limbs.

* Involuntary shaking of head.

* Diminished sensation of pain.

* Backache in loins. Better lying on back.

Some other symptoms that Dr. C developed because of his nontoxic dose were -

* Exaggeration of time & distance. Small distance seemed long.

* Irrelevant and unintelligible talking with a sense of gaiety.

* Increased appetite.

* Sensation as if he has no tongue.

* Better by drinking black coffee and by bathing."
