Toothache - III -- Elaine Lewis |
 |
|||
|
With any luck, I'll soon have enough material for a Broadway show! "Toothaches On Parade" starring Joan Rivers and Kermit the Frog! Actually, we can thank Barb for this, because I believe it was Barb who said, "You idiot! Are you crazy?! You're still seeing the same dentist?! You must be nuts! What were you thinking?" and I sensed that Barb was trying to tell me something, so I changed dentists, and I went in to be X-rayed, and the very next morning, I woke up with a toothache, I kid you not, an infection over my first premolar on the upper left side (yes, I know, it sounds like a neighborhood in New York!) and I couldn't bite down, and I thought, "Is every dental office in the city contaminated?!" Well...what to do? What to do now? Don't think that just because we're homeopaths that we don't get scared! My confidence level drops to zero when it comes to an infection in or surrounding a tooth! I thought and I thought. What did I take the last time? I remembered when Causticum saved me from another horrible infection that was on the Upper Left Side about 2 years ago, so I decided to try Causticum. Bull's-eye!!!! I couldn't believe it! I took one dose of Causticum 200C and three hours later I was eating breakfast with no sign of an infection at all, and I never needed to repeat it, there was never a recurrence, which suggests that it really was caused by the dental office--meaning, of recent origin--not a chronic state, or the results would not have been so swift and final! Amazing! This inevitably would have been a case for antibiotics and all the suffering and expense that goes along with it; such suffering that I can't even take antibiotics anymore, they cause such digestive distress--the days of Penicillin are over, folks! I tried to take Penicillin two years ago for an infection and it did nothing! "No wonder it's so cheap," I thought, "$4.00 a bottle!" I then paid, get this, $100.00 a bottle for Amoxicillin, which immediately gave me a stomach ache, so that was the end of that, and luckily, after studying the Teeth and Mouth chapters of the Homeopathic Repertory, I came up with Nitric acid, which worked in 20 minutes, and that was the most serious dental infection I ever had, the whole left side of the roof of my mouth was swollen with an abscess, and the Repertory rubric I used, in case anybody's wondering, was: Mouth, swelling, gums, gums between cheeks and teeth--Nit-ac., the only remedy--that made it easy! Of course, finding the rubric wasn't easy. I had probably already tried Mercurius, Silica, Hepar sulph., etc., to no avail. But our story does not end here, unfortunately; because a week ago I was brushing my teeth and said, "Whoa! Wait a minute, something's wrong here!" The upper right distal molar was in pain from tooth-brushing, and once again I was faced with the necessity of finding a remedy to nip this impending disaster in the bud! What could it be now? I faintly recollected having used Pyrogen for the Upper Right Side the last time I had an infection there, so...Pyrogen 30C, and once again, unbelievably: Bull's-eye! It was absolutely the right remedy; actually, I do remember having started with Hepar sulph. but, it didn't work. So once again, I'm back out on the street; see you next time in Part !V, ladies and gentlemen! (Elaine, bite your tongue! And then take Hypericum.) |
