Some tips on treating alcoholism by Dr. Jean Pierre Gallavardin

Follow these two precepts of master, Hahnemann:

In the choice of remedies, note the intellectual and moral symptoms presented by the patient and produced by the drug proved upon the healthy subject.

In chronic diseases, give in one dose the remedy selected, then let it act for weeks and months.

“Here are fourteen principal remedies, which, administered in high potencies (200th and above), one single dose for two, three, four, six or seven weeks, partially or completely destroys the inclination to get drunk, and often prevents the manifestations of divers symptoms which are cured during drunkenness—symptoms which  I have indicated for each of these remedies.”

Nux vomica — Violent people, often cross,  and  whom sorrows or cares lead to drink as a means of forgetting, and who spit frequently. Or mild-tempered people, kind and affectionate in their ordinary condition, who, while drinking, become brutal even to striking insulting, sometimes weeping.  Tendency to jealousy.

Sulphur – Slow-going people, getting drunk in secret.  Having neither the sentiment of duty nor strength of will to accomplish duty.  Mild before and brutal during  drunkenness.  More intelligent while they are drunk.  Saying and doing while drunk what they would neither say nor do before.

The Homoeopathic Treatment of Alcoholism – Doctor Jean Pierre Gallavardin


Three tips from Dr. E.A. Farrington

Phosphorus in Eye Problems

It is particularly in nervous affections of the eye that we find Phosphorus indicated, and by “ nervous “ I mean belonging to the nerves of the eye.  Thus it is suited to hyperaemia of the choroid and retina, which may result in retinitis or  choroiditis, and when it  does  so result, it is apt to be a serious trouble.  Vision is greatly lessened.  The patient sees all sorts of abnormal colors, black spots in the air and  gray veils over things.

Causticum

There is a condition of the urine, in which it is loaded with urates as evidence of  exhaustion from disease. Perhaps the best remedy in the materia medica for this  symptom, other things being equal, is Causticum.

Ambra Grisea

Ambra grisea acts markedly on the female genital organs, its action here being quite important and unique.   It causes atony of the uterus.  The menses are regular as to time or they come a few days too early, but they are very profuse, and are accompanied by nosebleed and by increase in the varicose veins on the legs.
