Case: Boy 11 years old. Bronchitis. Disrupted, aggressive behaviour. Beat up brothers and sisters. History of cough and bronchitis and possibly asthma. Father abandoned family 3 years earlier. Paid nothing. Chased by the court. Family had no money. Lots of problems. Thin boy. Olive complexion. Fast birth. Cried solidly for two years. Speed. Talks constantly. Gibberish. Clever rhyming. Fights all the time. Recurring night mare of bomb in the living room. Fear and obsession with knives. Learning judo. Loves kicking people. He will only wear a white shirt on special occasions. He wears black and dark grey. Fastidious about his own possessions. As if he is persecuted. Lack of self worth but he is very bright. Nearly strangled his older brother two years earlier. Bunches and bullies his sister. Laughs when he makes people cry. Terrified of dogs. Likes sleeping in school clothes. Does not like washing his hair. Gets cold but doesn't feel cold. Very clingy.

Gave him Stamonium but it did not do as well as expected. Stop tea. He drinks a gallon of tea a day. Very interesting small remedy. If you don't have money, drink tea. Tea kept the symptoms going. But he was a Stramonium and he was given Tuberculinum at some point.

Sign of the Thea picture is the caffeine picture. It is different from coffee.

Violent side to the remedy. Kill, desires to. Sudden impulse to. Impulse to throw child onto the fire. Lyssinum, Nux, Thea. Incredibly violence. A nice of cup of tea and relax - misleading unless it is homeopathic. Thea has an aggravating cause to violence.

Look at remedies that are aggravated by tea. China (tea is China tea.) Aesc, Chin, Dios, Ferr, Lach, Rumex, Sel and Veratrum. Sepia should be there too.

Aesc is aggravated by tea. Main haemorrhoid remedy. Mother tincture and creams. Concor/horse chestnut. Tea is a vaso dilator is a primary action. Most remedies are confused in terms of primary and secondary but it is very pronounced with these drugs.

Vascular collapse is in tea. So Aesc is aggravated by tea. If you have a symptom, look for the maintaining cause. If someone comes with varicose veins - reduce tea.

Thea - crushed discs in sacral-lumbar region - sagging feeling. Prolapsing tendency.

China are worse from loss of fluid and tea is a diuretic. China has a nervous feeling. Tea puts your nerves on edge if you drink too much. Tea will eventually cause constipation from the aluminium. It will make you acidic and rumbling - like China.

Rumex - dock leaf. Dry tickling cough. Causation change of hot and cold air. Rumex type should come off tea.

Dioscorea - colic - has to lean back to give their stomach space (opposite of Colocynthis). Mag Phos is also for colic.

Ferrum - tea drinking prevents the absorption of iron. If some is anaemic (and possibly Sickle Cell too). Tell them to stop drinking tea.

Cigarettes antidote tea. And visa versa. Tea antidotes and beer and visa versa.

Lachesis - cardio-vascular and loquacity. Affects on heart. Angina symptoms can be aggravated by tea.

Selenium - combats free radicals. Near Sulphur. Sulphur can be a selenium picture. Prostrate enlargement in selenium picture. Makes them urinate more. Aggravated by tea. Selenium is theorising. Thea are witty. But it can get over the time and out of balance.

Thuja - prostrate, gurgling and rumbling. Genitals.

Veratrum - dehydrated frequently so Thea will make them worse.

Violence, impulse to kill, witty and bright mind (at best), chilly, worse at night, loquacity, cause sleeplessness, strange dreams. Pleasure on waking from a dream of murder. Shows violence in the Thea picture. Dragged from the lowest abyss of darkness when woken at night. Suicidal tendency. Highs and lows. Syphilitic and sycotic. Falling. Heart and palpitations. Can't lie on left at night (like Phos which is adverse to tea.) Terrible sinking feeling in the stomach. Sinking prolapsing tendency of tea. Trembling and jittery.

Craves sour.

Coffee

The workaholic. 1) Benevolent (wishing well, only remedy - excessively.) 2) Veneration (treat with awe, only remedy.) 3) Ailments from too much joy. Why is half the world drinking coffee - because they are lacking these things.

Intellectual/mental side. Sleeplessness. Over study.

If you drink a lot of coffee you get heart palpitations.

Very hard working. Caring, driving person. Very sensitive. Starry eyed. Works for a charity, working themselves into the ground. Can't sleep. Pain threshold is very low. Pain is a big word in coffee. Feels everything intensely. Goes over the top. When you fall in love when you don't sleep.

Christmas and birthdays. It is my birthday tomorrow. Tears before bed time.

Belladonna is often given when it could be Coffea.

Pain is a big issue for Coffea. Hypersensitive pain.

Chilly remedy. <warmth. Accept for toothache which is < warmth. Like Chamomilla.

Intimate relationship between Cham and Coffea. Good to break habit of drinking of Coffee. Agonising headaches when coming off coffee; nerves on edge. Edgy nervous in Cham too. Every sense is alive in the Coffea picture. With this incredible enthusiasm. Collapse into nervous jittery exhaustion.

VG - remorse. They have not been able to do enough. Caring and kind in a relationship - remorse if they stay and remorse if they go.

Like Phos in their caring but Phos are not workaholics. Need to compensate for inner sense of loneliness (Carc.) Forsaken. Compensating constantly for that side and feel remorse when it goes wrong as they are so sensitive.

Thanks can overwhelm them and they will cry (Lycopodium.) Plans a lot (like when drinking coffee.) Despair.

Sycotic miasm. Selfless, quick, creative. Emotions bubble easily to the surface. Flushing, fainting, over excitement. Like Ignatia it has a nail in the head sensation, and Thuja as well.

Coffea is anti-doted by wine.

Opium

Opium, morphine and heroine.

Sleepiness. Opium and morphine were used for pain injuries as an anaesthetic. Coffee antidotes overdose of heroine and opium. Sleepiness and dream like state. Painlessness. All opposites of Coffea. Inertia, stillness and slowness of Opium. Inert, painless state. Briefly you have lifted out of present reality with all its pain, restlessness and you are in a place of warmth, calmness. They are in inert, stillness.

Pathologically is one of the most constipated remedies in the Materia Medica (Aluminium.) Bladder will stop working. Mucous Membranes dry up. They can still sweat; everything else is still. It is rare that you will get an Opium constitution but you can get NBWS shock or fright or fear. If you have been totally terrified you become paralysed with fear and then you lift out. Face is expressionless. Refugees. Shock of the birth trauma or the shock of the mother when you are in utero could make you born in an Opium state.

Children that go into a dream world after shock. Chemical equivalent is endorphins. Ever since the near miss in the care; the dreadful plane journey. Haunted dreams ever since. Like the Arnica (I am OK) but more so.

An abuse remedy. Schizoid tendency. Accidents/wars/abuse/near miss in a car. Death is staring you in the face. Birth trauma. Drug in labour. Terror in utero.

Humiliation, shame and reproach. Can't handle that it was me it happened to. Vagueness, not quite there. Japanese Prisoner of War camps. Can't talk about it - it was too awful. Often will have a life time of drugs or alcohol afterwards.

Opium is one of the first remedies you think of in autism. Withdrawn state - consciousness, energy. There is a violent side. It can burst out. Primary picture is sleepiness. Big snoring remedy (Opium, Lac Caninum.)

First remedy for Coma. NBWS anaesthesia. Pin prick pupils of eyes. Opium does not react to other remedies.

They can have a very happy state. Lots of plans and projects. Lots of delusions. Animals, devils, sees faces, clairvoyance. Courage because they don't fear anything. The agony and pain of war and the painless of Opium - go hand in hand.

Never speak the truth as they don't know the truth. Lie through their teeth to get want they want. 50% crime in NY is to feed the habit of Heroine.

Worse for the sun. > being cool. NBWS head injury.

Chelidonium and Sanguinaria - same family.

Cannabis

Lots of delusions. Relieves pain of debilitating illnesses. Allows you to lift off into another world. Mind and body separated. Space cadet, air heads, as if I go off into my head and I am separated from my body. Too much up in the head. Escape into world of ideas. Fancies the body was too small for the soul, divided into two parts, double. Delusion they were Jesus Christ. Sycotic miasm. Similar to Thuja (mind body split and urinary symptoms.)

Between Anhalonium and Opium.

Two Cannabis. 1) like a Phos - love and peace - hippie flower child - off with the fairies but delightful. Guardian Angel looking after them. 2) Sulphur Cannabis Indica is the theoriser.

Deep fear of losing control in both. Sulphur CI will need to theorise to stay in control. They will want to know the remedy so that they can stay in control. They will tell you what remedy they should have. Fear of going mad and losing control. Worse at night. Fear of the dark. Fear of the night. Very commonly prescribed remedy.

If someone has a strong effect they have a susceptibility - it might be their remedy or close to it. Very fearful state. Violent aspect can emerge. Cannabis psychosis. Violent to others. Fears are showing aggression and violence. Paranoid side. Terror is in outside world. Feel isolated and alone. Smoking of the dope allows them to be more sociable. Fear is being covered up. If you OD on it the pathology will stay with you.

Very good for pain relief for MS. Cannabis is relatively benign compared with the other drugs they will be taking but it is not legal.

Nut Meg has got one of the same ingredients as Ecstasy.

Laughing inappropriately. Looks like a Phosphorus. Clairvoyant. Time distortions. Time moves too fast or too slow. Time is related to thought. Krishna Marti said time is thought. If you slow the thoughts down, you speed time down. Increased or no sexual desire. Lots of fantasies or only fantasies and no ability. Impotence due to excess. Hypersensitivity to music.
