you to send in your favorite Tips and Secrets on homeopathy.
We will publish a select group each month, acknowledging the sender.
They may be based on your own experience or taken from homeopathic
literature. Please identify the source of your information and your
name and country. Send your tips to us at Alanheal@aol.com
Remember, a tip is not the whole
iceberg! Use these tips as part of a totality of symptoms. Let them
inspire further research. Using specifics ("take this for that")
in isolation may prove disappointing and can lead to suppression.

Dig Deeper for Worms
Claiming to eradicate the tendency to worms by Cina is not proper.
It helps clear the acute condition, but for tendency to worms, Cicuta,
Silicea, Sulphur, Merc Sol and Zincum should be thought of .
Principles of Prescribing – Dr.
K.N.Mathur
Cannabis
Usually when we prescribe it homeopathically there’s a history
of drug use and 'never well since'. It can look like a lot of other
remedies: Sulphur- always scheming and planning with big ideas.
Excitable and sympathetic like Phosphorus. Like Medorrhinum, with
insomnia and they write all night because the ideas flow so easily…also
vaginitis and discharges. Inability to focus or concentrate, procrastination,
poor memory, absent minded, panic attacks, a feeling of being separated
(when talking it’s as if observing themselves talking to other
people), fear of insanity, fear of darkness, sensitive to stimulants.

Murphy N.D.
A Zincum Recommendation and Warning
In all eruptive illnesses ending in suppression, a dose of Zincum
immediately brings back the eruption. Zincum enlivens the Vital
Force to fight the disease and ultimately, helps to cure it. Use
its 6th potency. Higher potency is fraught with the danger of serious
aggravation, which a Zincum patient may not be able to stand.

Self Blame and Shattered Hope
Ignatia alleviates self-blame arising from having "failed"
someone as a friend…The patient reproaches himself mercilessly
(at times without any justification) for having been too demanding
of or bestowed insufficient affection or attention on a recently
deceased spouse or parent.
The remedy is often indicated where the individual’s most
cherished hopes of accomplishment have been shattered or where circumstances
have prevented him from fulfilling his ambitions. It helps restore
vital self esteem and faith in one’s power to overcome adversity.
Portraits of Homoeopathic Medicines Vol.
2 Catherine R.Coulter
Gallium Sulphuricum
They are very stubborn in their interactions with loved ones. They
tend to overwhelm them with their opinions… They are convinced
that the other one is too inexperienced to understand what is right,
so there is no point in listening to them. Craves sweets, alcohol,
fruit, fat.. Aversion to and aggravation from eggs.
Homeopathy
and the Elements - Jan Scholten
On Healing by Touch and Induction
Animal Magnetism -This healing force, which has been frequently,
foolishly denied or reviled ….is a marvelous gift of God to
man, by which a well-intentioned man exerts his strong will over
a patient with or without touching him or even at some distance,
in such a way that the vital force of the healthy mesmerizer, gifted
with this power dynamically flows into the patient (as the pole
of a strong bar magnet acts on a bar of unmagnetized steel).
Organon of Medicine – Aphorism
288 - Samuel Hahnemann
Mephitis Putorius
The main use of mephitis is in whooping cough. It produces a hard
cough with laryngeal spasm and a distinct whoop. I have found it
apparently makes the patient worse, while shortening the course
of the disease. Worse night, lying down, cannot exhale, vomits food
some time after eating.

Materia Medica

The Guaiacum Throat
You get a sudden acute throat and think of Belladonna or Aconite,
when it really needs Guaiacum. The patient has a congested red face
with the sore throat and is depressed and indolent. Dilated pupils,
thirst for cold water and a pain in the back of the neck. Some joint
pain. Worse from heat motion, touch, 6pm -4am.
Classical Homeopathy –Dr. Margery
Blackie

Shock in Dogs
Eyes become sunken, body surface cold and mucous membranes pale.
Increased respiration and weak and rapid pulse. The main remedy
to consider is Aconitum 12 which usually allays symptoms in a short
time. Arnica 30 and China 6c are useful remedies if weakness and
shock are a result of hemorrhage. Carbo veg 30 is useful in those
cases showing air hunger and collapse.

Down on Yourself?
Here are some rubrics from Kent for feeling self critical: ANGER
mistakes over his; CONTEMPTUOUS, self; DELIRIUM, blames himself;
DELUSIONS: critical – neglected his duty; reproach, deserves;
right, does nothing; wrong, think she has done. DISCONTENTED –
himself with; REPROACHES –self.

the Rubrics of Kent’s Repertory

Snapshot of Chelidonium
They are strong willed people and derive a sense of security and
satisfaction out of getting other to do their bidding. They are
realists, matter of fact, hard headed and not at all sentimental.
They shun intellectual work, math problems, and abstractions. They
do not easily express affection, but expect others to display tenderness
and affection towards them.
Essence of Materia Medica - George Vithoulkas
Psora and Sycosis Compared
When the psoric speaks or writes he does it very quickly. There
is such a flow of thoughts that he can hardly follow it with his
tongue or pen. The psoric cannot concentrate on his work, because
his thoughts get ahead of his work.
The sycotic is unable to collect his thoughts or decide on the
most appropriate word, hence the slowness in speaking and writing.
He reads and re-reads several times but cannot retain the idea.
Comparative Study of Chronic Miasms-Y.R.
Agrawal
Boils
For conditions of the body which set up boils, Dr. Ramsey considers
Echinachea specific. Ten drop doses of tincture four times a day.
Clinical Tips in Homoeopathy –
Dr. P. Rajagopalarao
People Needing Plant Remedies
They feel things very intensely. They say .. ”His screaming
affects me.”, “The damp weather affects me.” “Smell
affects me”. They are soft and emotional., their feelings
are very important to them and they fear being hurt.
Dinesh Chauhan – from : A journey
into the Human Core
Stye
Also called a “Hordeolum”, a stye is an infection of
the oil glands in the eyelid. They ordinarily drain and heal by
themselves and it is best not to squeeze them. A warm compress several
times a day will assist the draining process.
Pulsatilla -for beginning stage. Staphysagria if Pulsatilla fails
or the stye leaves a hard nodule after healing.

Sycosis
Sycosis is the miasm believed to follow gonorrhea and may be inherited
or acquired. It may also arise from vaccination (vaccinosis), allergic
reactions to drugs or insect bites and chronic infective states.
Any patient who has reacted badly to a vaccination should receive
a single dose of Thuja 30, to prevent an acquired sycosis.
Homeopathy for Physicians – Dr.
Colin B. Lessell
