More Calcarea was given, but without further improvement, certain symptoms occurred which called for Sulphur I m., this completed the cure and she has remained in good health ever since, now one and one-half years since the attack. When we consider that these two remedies used in dynamic form and according to Hahnemannian principles, completely cured this case in such a simple and easy manner, may we not boast of a result that is little short of dramatic? Please bear in mind that the hyperthyroidism was not treated, just the patient.
A singular coincidence happened in this family during the past six months; a sister, aet. 32, who lived in the East, was stricken with similar symptoms, amenorrhoea, rapid heart-beat, and loss of strength; she was treated by the physicians in her community, without any improvement; she was taken to one of the large cities in the East and placed under two eminent specialist, who said it was “charge of life”; but regardless of all that they could do, death ensued.
From reports, this patient had all the modern diagnostic and laboratory technique in use today, and doubtless the family were informed that everything was done, known to science, however, we believe that a little homoeopathy in this case would have produced an entirely different story. May we ask, what was the cause of these two women going to pieces at such an early period of life? Modern medicine says, “change of life”; endocrine disturbance, etc.; yes, but these were secondary to a psoric constitution, as the remedies used in the one case, amply proved.
Another case: A little miss, aet. 6. An orphan. She had eczema during babyhood and a serious attack of cholera infantum, during her first year; she was very delicate and raised with difficulty; she developed into an unusually bright child however, being an adept in music and dancing.
In the spring of 1925 she developed a serious chorea; the family physician exhausted his skill without relief, so-called a childrens specialist, who likewise failed in his efforts and called another child specialist into the case; after four months treatment and observation and with but very little, if any, results, they informed the mother that everything had been done that could be done and that she would just have to wear the disease out, if possible. the mother, not willing to give up, decided to try homoeopathy and brought the child to me. Mygale was first prescribed, but this remedy did not produce any change. After watching the child and nothing her physical appearance and the symptomatology, Calcarea carbonica I m. was given, in less than a week the gyrations had ceased, and in two weeks she was practically well. This case was controlled so easily and quickly that the mother said she could hardly her own eyes and wondered if it could be the medicine that did it. There has been no recurrence however.
I mention these case to illustrate a real cure produced according to Hahnemannian principle. Please note that the other school failed, and we doubt if any other system could equal this cure. Once again let me emphasize the importance of the symptomatology, pathology should be a secondary consideration, and the homoeopathist will not make any great strides nor supplant any other school of medicine, unless he follows this principle.
