| Back by popular demand, I
give to you once again, Kelly Young, with yet another sick child.
Yeesh!
Thank you, Elaine, for that emotional introduction. It's great
to be back. As always, the Hpathy audience is the greatest audience
in the world!
(Applause)
This is the case of my 7 year old son, Emilio Rodriguez. The cold
and flu season arrived early this year, mocking the majesty of Christmas.
The glistening of the tree-tops, the excitement of a brisk sleigh
ride in the new-fallen snow, the promises of joy...
Excuse me, I'm sorry, but, did you say, "Emilio
Rodriguez"?
Is there something wrong with that?
Oh dear! With a nice Irish name like Kelly,
nobody's going to believe that your son is "Emilio Rodriguez"!
This is bound to create confusion in our quiz section. It's important
that our cases be easy to follow.
You're so right, I never thought of that!
Don't worry, all beginning homeopaths make
the same mistake, not thinking their case names logically through.
How about, "Shanahan O'Hannity"?
I can't handle it.
What about "Blathmac O'Riley"?
"Blathmac"?!
Blath means flower.
Who cares, Kelly!
OK, OK, what about "Conan O'Brien"?
A little strange, but fine.
OK, so my little seven year old "Coney" started coughing
late one night, waking him from sleep.
By the next day, he was coughing more and by that night, a lot!
He was very thirsty, chilly, had no fever and was pale. The cough
was productive but not too deep.
He had a stuffy nose too. I started Phosphorus 30c (3
doses by bedtime).
He awoke around 11:30 pm, coughing, sweating and very red faced
and crying.
He had a tummy ache--passing much wind and very sensitive to light.
He had a headache. I tried zapping the phosphorus without much luck,
so, I guessed it wasn't an aggravation.
I then gave a single dose of Belledonna 30c and he fell
asleep immediately. This is a very good sign! No more coughing until
he awoke in the morning. I repeated the Belladonna first
thing.
Later that afternoon, I noticed him wanting to lie down more. He
was tired and said he was dizzy. I repeated the Bell. 30c with no
improvement. I re-thought the case, thought about the new symptoms
and the fact that he was no longer thirsty. After consulting with
Elaine, my most wonderful, thoughtful, learned, helpful homeopath...
Ahem!
...and reasonably-priced, I gave _________ 30c.
He quickly improved, dizziness and fatigue subsiding. I continued
for 2 days with _________30c, in water, with succussions (pounding
the bottle) before each dose and he appears well. Another major
cold averted!!! Thank you, homeopathy, the magic of the season is
ours again!
