Her body was exhausted and run down and this is what we needed to work on first so that she was able to exercise properly to lose the weight.

Some of the more severe symptoms as described by Chelsea were weekly headaches, waking up perspiring heavily every night, insomnia with restless legs, even though she was taking a magnesium supplement, no libido with pain during sex, along with very dry hair and skin.

If you skip to the bottom of this case study you can see the severity of Chelsea’s symptoms at the current time, in comparison to her initial ratings.

Below are a list of Chelsea’s symptoms and how severe she rated them out of 10 when she first attended the clinic.

After assessing Chelsea’s face, coupled with taking all her symptoms into account, I selected Caust 30c as a homeopathic remedy to be taken once a day and to follow up with me in a months time.
 
Results
At the one month follow-up Chelsea had some decent improvement with the heaviness in her belly, and a little improvement with the pain during sex, however her sleep had become worse and her headaches had gradually been getting worse, to the point of nearly becoming a migraine. She told me she stopped the remedy on her own at around 3.5 weeks, and the headaches subsided. Then she re-commenced taking the remedy and the headache started returning so she stopped again.

This is exactly what I would have advised Chelsea to do in her case had she asked me, and we now knew this was not the correct remedy for Chelsea. This is why we begin with a small dose in case my remedy selection is incorrect, when stopping the remedy any negative symptoms are quick to resolve.

After considering Chelsea’s case again I now advised her to try Mag-m 30c.

Results after another month
Chelsea found this remedy to be better, with some good improvements in some areas. Below are Chelsea’s ratings

Results Next Month
Next month when I saw Chelsea for her follow-up she said she had been feeling pretty emotional / sad / angry in the  last month which was out of character for her. Her teenage stepson had been really getting on her nerves, but it was affecting her more than usual. Her doctor had sent her for a scan which showed her endometriosis had come back and she felt very disappointed about his also.

Some of Chelsea’s symptoms had improved further, but others had slipped back, plus being extra emotional with this double dose meant that this remedy had done all it could for her, but it was time to move to a new remedy.

The next remedy that was indicated for Chelsea, as guided by the computer software and her facial analysis was mag-c 30c. I told Chelsea to take this remedy one time a day.

Results Next Month
Even though I told Chelsea to take this remedy one time a day, and wrote this on the instructions on the bottle, she misunderstood or was confused and took it 2x per day she told me at the next follow-up. However her results had been remarkable and she was improving well in all areas. With such good results I told Chelsea to continue with 2x per day for the following month.

Results Next Month
At the next month Chelsea was very pleased with her progress, she said she was feeling great, while sounding confident and happy. She said her immune system must have been working better too because everybody in her household had gotten sick except her. She had been getting a few hot flushes though which were pretty annoying.

Chelsea had her own homeopathic first aid kit at home and had heard that Puls was a good remedy for hot flushes. She tried taking the Puls 30c and it greatly relieved her flushes.
Below are Chelseas symptoms as she rated them at our most recent consult.

Using natural homeopathic medicine we were able to help support Chelsea’s body to be able to heal it’s self.  Unfortunately she hasn’t lost any weight as of yet, but she said she feels stronger and more able to exercise, she had just started riding her bike again. In coming months we expect she should improve further, become stronger still and be able to exercise more rigorously to help lose the weight.

I aim to add to this case study in the future, but this is a good case to show the progress of Chelsea’s general health in a few months with a range of symptoms with natural remedies.
The remedies are cheap, costing only $10 for a month’s supply, and being completely safe with no chemical side effects or interactions with western medicine in over 200 years of use, Homeopathy is a terrific choice for chronic health complaints.

Daniel had also been getting a rash at various places on his face and on the inside of his elbows, but he had some medicated cream from the doctor that resolved the rash quiet effectively, however it would always reoccur again 3-4 weeks later, and he had found that heat aggravated it.

After assessing Daniel’s face, and taking his symptoms into account, I selected Sulph 30C as the homeopathic remedy to be taken once a day and told Daniel to follow up with me in a month’s time.

Results at 1 month follow-up
At the one month mark Daniel had some improvement with his sleep. He had been able to get back to sleep after waking during the night, however it would still take 20-60 minutes. His skin had been clear for the month but a rash had just started appearing again that day. Also Daniel had some slight improvement in his nervousness while talking in work meetings, maybe a 10-15% improvement.

I told Daniel to now take the homeopathic medicine 2x per day for the next month.

Results at 2 month follow-up
At the two month follow up Daniel mentioned that he did have improvements during the first two weeks after increasing to 2x per day, however after the two weeks any improvements vanished and the trouble sleeping returned. Even though, Daniel said that he did feel more tired and relaxed when trying to get back to sleep.

After reviewing the results so far along with suitable remedies for Daniel’s case I supplied him with a new remedy, this time Bryonia 30C to take one time per day and follow up with me again in another month.

Results at later follow-ups
Daniel felt like this remedy was helping more than the last yet the symptoms remained. We increased the frequency to two times a day, and later increased the strength of the medicine to 200C.

The first night we increased the medicine to two times a day at 200C strength, Daniel started sleeping through the night really well, and his sleep remained good. His skin had been clear, with one small section two weeks ago, that recovered much faster than previously. Daniel felt calmer in stressful situations, and apart from the diarrhoea and he felt like everything was going well. At our last follow-up Daniel had stopped the medicine for the last week because he had run out, yet everything had still been going really well. I suggested that Daniel continue with the medicine for another month and then reduce to 1x per day for a week, and then every 2nd day for the following week before stopping.

I later caught up with Daniel during a Bowen Therapy session over 6 months since his last homeopathy appointment and he mentioned he was still sleeping well, he had no more rashes during this period and had not needed to use the medicated cream any more. His diarrhoea remained but he felt it was due to a supplement he had been taking for many years. He had stopped a few days prior to our conversation and felt there had been some improvement.

Using natural homeopathic medicine we were able to help support Daniel’s body to be able to sleep better, feel more calm and confident while talking during work meetings, and improve his internal health to prevent skin rashes from occurring. Once his body stabilized he stopped taking the medicine and he still felt good.

Even so, after a lifetime of trying western medications and treatment methods the level of anxiety and depression she experienced was still rather intense. Lisa rated her Anxiety levels typically at a 6/10 every day, and depression also at a 6//10 daily that was at it’s worst in the mornings. Lisa mentioned that as she had grown older she had learned not to fight against her feelings of depression and anxiety so much and that had made things a little easier. Lisa felt that her mental health problems were caused by an unhappy family life with physical and emotional abuse when she was a child and also being in an abusive relationship as an adult.

As is common with mental health disorders, Lisa’s sleep quality was very poor, it took her 3 hours to get to sleep on average, and then she would always have a very light sleep with frequent waking because of needing to keep going to the toilet all through the night. The doctors had put this down to a prolapsed uterus.

Some of the other complains Lisa presented with were hard fibrous lumps or cysts growing on her back all the time (non-cancerous) and quiet severe perspiration where her clothes would become very wet, especially under her armpits. Lisa had been getting botox injections which had helped reduce her level of sweating, but it was still a problem. Lisa had diverticulitis which she controlled through diet, however she would still get a flare-up on average 1x every 2 months.

Lisa also had arthritis in her foot which was caused during her younger years when she did a lot of running and marathon competition. Bowen helped but as is very common with osteoarthritis, the pain always returned again at some stage.
After assessing Lisa’s face, coupled with taking all her symptoms into account, I selected Sulph 30 as the homeopathic remedy to be taken once a day and to follow up with me in a month’s time.

Results at 1 month follow-up
At the one month followup Lisa had some decent progress. I have listed the progress of the various ailments at the one month mark.

Anxiety had improved 25%
Depression had improved 50%
Delayed sleep - 80% improvement
Frequently waking to go to the toilet – 80% improvement
Cysts on her back – no new cysts
Severe perspiration – 50% improvement
Diverticulitis – Haven’t noticed it

Overall this was very promising so I told Lisa to continue with the same remedy however to increase the dosage to 2x per day and to follow up with me in a month’s time.

Results at 2 month follow-up
At the next follow-up appointment the progress we had made after the first month held steady, but Lisa’s anxiety had improved another 25% as well as small improvements with her perspiration and arthritis, however her sleep had slipped backwards. Below you can see how Lisa rated these problems.

Anxiety had improved 50% (extra 25%)
Depression had improved 50% (same as last month)
Delayed sleep - 70% improvement (10% worse than last month)
Frequently waking to go to the toilet – back to waking 4-5x per night, however was falling asleep again quiet quickly
Cysts on her back – no new cysts
Severe perspiration – 60% improvement (extra 10% improved)
Arthritis – 20% improvement (same as last month but had been able to walk further)
Diverticulitis – Haven’t noticed it

For the next month I decided to increase the strength of the medicine, and gave Lisa Sulphur again but at 200c strength to be taken 1x per day to see if we could get a bit more improvement.

Results at 3 month follow-up

Next month Lisa said that she had been feeling quiet irritable lately. She said she had been feeling the cold a bit more this winter, and that she had been bruising quiet easily. She was still waking frequently to go to the toilet at night too. In general Lisa said she still felt improved, and she was able to give a speech at her recent 70th birthday party, where previously her level of anxiety would have made that impossible.

I explained to Lisa that sometimes during the healing process there can be ups and downs, but we were still much further ahead than when we first began. It seemed that Lisa’s body liked the weaker remedy given just 1x per day, so we reverted back to the original remedy from the 1st month and I told Lisa to report back in another month.

Results at 4 month follow-up

At her next appointment Lisa seemed very happy with how her body had been responding to the homeopathy. It seemed her body liked the lower dose of the remedy better and the feelings of being irritable, feeling cold, and bruising easily had gone again. Lisa’s sleep had returned to being much improved without the frequent waking. Below is how Lisa rated her symptoms:

Anxiety 2/10 (started at 6/10)
Depression 3/10 (started at 6/10)
Delayed sleep – Now sleeps great
Frequently waking to go to the toilet  - Very rarely waking to go to the toilet at night
Cysts on her back – still no new cysts after 4 months
Severe perspiration – 80% better and no botox injections
Arthritis – Still did feel sometimes but was improved, and felt like it was continuing to improve
Diverticulitis – Still haven’t noticed it

Lisa commented on how amazed she was at how good she was sleeping, as well as her perspiring being so much better and having not even had botox injections, which had been costing her hundreds of dollars. There was also significant improvement in her anxiety and depression, and Lisa asked me if I thought she could see her doctor about stopping or reducing her pharmaceutical anti-depressants. I suggested since she had been on them such a long time and things were looking pretty good right now, it would probably be best not to change anything for the moment at least and just enjoy the results as they were.

Discussion

Sometimes there needs to be some tweaking of remedy strengths or changing to different remedies in the same family to get the most out of homeopathy. Sometimes there can also be some stiring up of symptoms as your body repairs, a bit like when you first start going to the gym there can be some soreness as your body adapts, but ultimately there will be benefit to your health.

I remember at a later date the stress in Lisa’s life increased for a period, and she found that her sleep troubles started returning and her anxiety and depression started getting worse again. I just increased the dose temporarily to help her body deal with the additional stress, which brought her body back into balance again, relieving her symptoms. Later when the stress in her life returned back to normal levels, we again reduced the dose and her body remained in balance with improved symptoms.

Sometimes western medicines alone are not enough to relieve a clients symptoms, however in this case using natural homeopathic medicine we were able to help support Lisa’s body and bring it back into balance, and in turn her mood stabilized to provide significant improvement in her anxiety and depression. The same medicine also made it so that she no longer needed to have expensive and toxic botox injections for her heavy perspiration, along with further relieving her other symptoms also.  The remedies are cheap, costing only $10 for a month’s supply, and being completely safe with no chemical side effects or interactions with western medicine in over 200 years of use, Homeopathy is a terrific choice for chronic health complaints.

Tragically, it had been almost a year since the passing of her granddaughter, and she was still experiencing quiet significant feelings of grief, as well as worrying about her children, especially the parent of her deceased granddaughter. Sally had been having some difficulty sleeping and was taking some over the counter medications to help her with sleep.
After assessing Sallys face, coupled with taking all her symptoms into account, I selected Phos 30 as a homeopathic remedy to be taken once a day and to follow up with me in a months time.

Results at one month followup
At the one month followup Sally said she was very pleased with the progress. The fluid in her ear was totally gone along with the vertigo / dizziness. The barking cough she no longer experienced, and the cramping in her feet / calves  and fingers was significantly reduced. Sally said that since she started taking the homeopathic medicine, it had helped her feel more settled with her grieving of her granddaughter, and she now felt more calm and more at peace with the situation. Sally’s sleep had improved and she no longer needed to use the over counter sleep aid she had been using for some time, and was having good quality restorative sleep using the homeopathic remedy alone.
One negative thing Sally noticed was the last couple of days she had been waking up with a sore neck/shoulder, yet it resolved shortly after waking with movement, which I feel was caused by the healing process of her middle ear. Sally continued with the same prescription for another month.
 
Results at two month followup
Next month when I saw Sally for her second follow-up she seemed really pleased with how she was travelling. The fluid in her ear, along with the vertigo had not returned, neither had the barking cough. The new issue of the neck/shoulder pain from our last followup session had fully resolved a couple of days after our last followup session, The cramping in her feet / calves and fingers was still improving and her sleep was still really good. Sally also had bone on bone osteoarthritis in her knee which she had been living with for 20 years, yet she said she felt the homeopathic remedy had helped with the pain in her knee also, she had just been for a long walk and her knee was not sore that day.
 
Case discussion
Using natural homeopathic medicine we were able to help support Sally’s body to be able to heal it’s self from conditions that western medicine and surgery were unable to treat as effectively as Sally would have liked. She now has a good level of relief where she doesn’t experience any symptoms from a range of her presenting complains, with medicine that in 200 years of use have proved to have no side effects, and which only cost her $10 for a month’s supply.
