Case Study 6

Presenting complaints
43 year old Chelsea, a online sales consultant attended the clinic wanting to lose weight before her wedding some months away. She also had a long list of complaints which meant her body was not in the best shape, making it hard for her to shift the weight, even though she had tried dieting. Chelsea said she found it hard to exercise because if did did an hour bike ride it would take her 2 weeks to recover.

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.

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.

NEW 31/3/23 - In the last month been feeling pretty emotional. - 3/10 (was 10/10.)
 
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.
