Revisiting "More Woes From Windy, Wet Weather"-- Elaine Lewis, DHom |
 |
|||
| Does anybody remember last month's quiz question? Here it is: OK, so, my dearest "Amity" is eight
years old. A week ago he came down with a cold. He had a dry, barking cough that went on all day and night, usually stopping by the time I went to bed. It had a hollow, echo quality to it and sounded alot like a saw cutting through wood. His throat tickled and he had swollen neck
glands. He complained that his throat hurt after he ate a sweetart
candy, which he then later refused to eat! He was hungry often,
wanting hot cocoa and other warm I tried one remedy which did not work, then tried another which had an immediate positive effect. Homeopathy does it again!
Well class, I have to say, I am very proud of you! I started this column originally to show the doubters and the nay-sayers who think that if you give a case to 20 homeopaths you'll come up with 30 different remedies, that they're wrong! Well, this month you have proven me right. Nearly every person who wrote in got the right answer! And do you know why? Because we had a clear case! Out of 14 responses, 11 were for Spongia Tosta! That's an incredible percentage of agreement! Nooshin's assessment of the case was so thorough that I have absolutely no work to do this month! Way to go, Nooshin! Moreover, Nooshin closes by asking a quiz question of her own, so, if you weren't confused already.... Dearest Elaine: Hi! I'm so glad I was last month's winner. You are a good teacher and I should thank you. Wish I could attend some courses taught by you. But alas! Gosh! Another avalanche is coming and I should answer this month's quiz before burying under it! And I'm so sure of the answer! Sometimes these queer rubrics are a good hint (as you've mentioned many times before). The minute I read that the cough (had a hollow, echo quality to it and sounded a lot like a saw cutting through wood.), I cried: SPONGIA ! When I got to know SPONGIA for the first time, this sawing quality was stamped on my mind. Then I began to check other rubrics in repertory and materia medica
to validate my guess. a dry, barking cough that went on all day and night ----> usually stopping by the time I went to bed [this should be around
midnight] ----> His throat tickled and he had swollen neck glands ----> his throat hurt after he ate a sweetart candy ----> wanting hot cocoa and other warm food ----> He felt better after he ate ----> And we had also: cold, wet and windy weather ----> We know also that Amity played soccer. This also validates our
guess Okay! Did you enjoy my scrutiny!!! Oops! The avalanche! Bye for now! So, congratulations to: Nooshin Azadi, Marsha Karzmer, shabina, Ravi Narayan, Mike Merritt, Arun, Dr. Mir Mostafa Kamal, Sarah Cordish, Dr. Shilpa Jackson, Claude and our good friend, Anonymous! We would also like to congratulate Ravi Narayan from Mumbai, who answered the March quiz as Anonymous! ---------------------------------------------------- This month's winners will get a special 30% discount on one order of books from Hpathy Mall.
