QHD 2005 - Homeoxls

The skin of the face and neck appeared greasy
and unclean, even the neck of the shirt; and the hair
was dirty and uncouth. There is a noticeable
tendency to perspiration which appears after mild
stress or at night. It very often had a bad odour.
The perspiration is sometimes cold, for instance, in
connection with pressure on the heart. On the
palms of the hands it is sticky.
Temperature Regulation: There seems to be,
due to the excitement of the circulatory system, a
connection with a fever reaction with an increased
sensation of warmth and very rarely a chilliness.
Modalities: Colitis in stomach and gallbladder
system at 12.00 P.M. to 2.00 A.M. and for
a few hours after. Insomnia occurs between 3.30
and 5.00 A.M. Pain in the joints and Sciatica at
7.00 A.M. Hangover is in the morning in
particular. Most complaints increase from 12.00
P.M. to the morning with a high point at 5.00 to
8.00 A.M. Fullness and distention after the first
bite, most severe one to two hours later.

Whatever of interest there may be in these few
reports might come out better in the reading than in
the reciting. They are simply a few of those rather
spectacular cures that result occasionally from a
combination of lucky prescribing and responsive
patient some of those that remain in the memory
and encourage us while performing more tedious or
more ordinary work.
I Boy æt 10, Chorea; abject and helpless, unable to
rise from bed six weeks; complete amnesia; head
lies always to the left; loud mitral murmur, pulse
60; crack in center of lower lip; gnashing of teeth
during sleep; craving sweets, marked emaciation
though eating well: Eczema suppressed when a
baby. Sepia 10M. Fincke.
Three weeks later he could talk, threw himself
on the floor and crept like a baby. From then on he
improved so well that I did not see him until three
years later when he needed another administration
for a slight return of twitching.
II Woman, æt. 67. Had fallen four years
previously and hurt her back at the right sacral
region and had been incapacitated for work since.
She could not rise alone and could walk but little
and that with much difficulty and assistance
because of continued soreness. She complained of
soreness and a dislocated sensation, hurting with

every step, ameliorated while lying with the thigh
flexed, ameliorated by warmth, aggravated by first
motion and relieved by continued motion but
aggravated by osteopathy, aggravated by stormy or
damp weather, severe catching pain when
attempting to move while lying but relieved by
change of position.
After four years of this she was brought to the
office with a cane on one side and her daughter on
the other, scarcely able to lift the feet from the
floor. Calcarea fluorica 12 th was taken every 4
hours for five weeks. Three months later she could
do everything and even run when necessary.
III Boy aged 11; Acute encephalitis lethargica.
Headache relieved by cold; liked to have the head
drawn backward; fidgety legs; general tossing from
12 to 4 or 5 a.m. Talked complainingly of work;
answers often irrelevant; grateful for cold drinks;
noise annoyed him. The characteristic facies very
marked.
Phosphorus 10M. Skinner’s, was given. His
countenance was brighter the next day, the
following day he spoke of his own incentive. As he
improved copious drooling appeared while asleep.
He was sitting up in a week and in two weeks
walked about the house.
IV Girl æt 4, Throat specialist said Adenoids, the
writer’s humble digit concurred; also large tonsils,
nasal intonation, etc. She was pale, blinking,
always fretty, tiring easily, no appetite; history of
many colds and bilious vomiting. Psorinum 50M,
Skinner’s.
Twelve weeks later she was taken to the
specialist; Wrong diagnosis; “it must have been
something else.”
V Woman aged 49, Gallstones out fifteen years
previously, malarial chills five years before that.
Having distressing colic again, always after eating.
The X-ray showed an adhesive band from the
stomach to the liver.
Bryonia relieved enough for two weeks to
rouse hopes and three meals were digested without
any pain. The pain is referred to the site of the gall
bladder, much worse after eating, like a weight
pulling across the abdomen and stinging aggravated
by deep inspiration, conscious of ‘motions about
the gall bladder,’ aggravated in evening; full
smothered sensation after eating. Sharp pains up
chest. Chilly sensation inside the stomach and
empty, gone sensation in stomach. Sensitive to
cold and dampness. She came to the homœopath
hoping to escape the needle and operation.
Four administrations of Carbo veg. during nine
months cured most of the pain. Then the malaria
returned and was gone after Natrum muriaticum.
