PSYCHIATRY AND PSYCHOTIC DEPRESSION – Talks on Classical Homeopathy Part 3 – Discussion with Geroge Vithoulkas
PSYCHIATRY AND PSYCHOTIC DEPRESSION: Experiences of Stan Mayerson
George: I want to make a small introduction. It is interesting for us, because in some cases we will have to deal with hospitalization of cases of mentally ill people during a crisis. It will be very interesting to hear of the experiences of Stan.
We saw that case and prescribed a remedy. Somebody said that "George was very sure of what he was prescribing" 'and yet 1 saw you talking with Stan and he was not so sure and he wanted to know what was going on. I want to make a point clear here. I was not sure at all what was going to be the outcome of such a case. We do not allow such experiments in Greece because of the Attorney General. In case something happens, the doctor who is in-charge of the case is going to run into trouble, whether he is a psychotherapist or not. If something happens to the patient or the patient dies, then he would run into big trouble because we had not hospitalized that individual. We are allowed two days at the most in such cases before they are taken to the hospital. And so my experience in such cases has been very limited.
Actually once or twice I found myself in a position read more [...]
HOMEOPATHIC TREATMENT OF BABIES – Talks on Classical Homeopathy Part 3 – Discussion with Geroge Vithoulkas
HOMOEOPATHIC TREATMENT OF BABIES
George : Today I want to give you some information concerning the treatment of little babies. When you come to the point of treating babies, you wonder what to look for, especially when you are treating over the telephone. (Laughter) There area few things that we can look at. We could first look at the mood of the baby - the psychological state - weeping, laughing and so on. We also look at the expression of the face. The second thing that we observe is the color of his face - red, pale, vesiculated, blue.
Question : Are you talking about acute situations ?
George : Acute or chronic, the first thing is to look at the gestures. The next ing is the wrinkles. I will give you examples l a t e r on, but first I want to give you some definite things to look for. These are hints. The next thing is the texture of the skin. And the next is the perspiration. Check the tongue. Look at the way in which he stands, sits, or lies down. Check color and odor of the urine. Check the color, odor and texture of the stool. Check his reactions to milk and food in general. And investigate the salivation. These are the main points you should have in mind during the read more [...]
CONSTITUTIONAL TREATMENT – Talks on Classical Homeopathy Part 3 – Discussion with Geroge Vithoulkas
CONSTITUTIONAL TREATMENT
George: If you are not able to see underneath to the next remedy, you cannot call it a disruption. A disruption is always when there is no improvement When you see a general improvement, you cannot call that a disruption. What is a cure? What is better? You call better something which is better. It may mean something like he was using 10 handkerchiefs, but now he is using one or two. So you would say that his catarrh was 80% better. Ina disruption they might say that the catarrh is the same.
Question: So when you clear a case, you will always see some improvement?
George: Yes. Sure. Improvement Definitely. You may see an aggravation in the beginning, but definitely an improvement later.
Question: How about so-called one-sided cases?
George: One-sided cases ? We have some cases like that. Haven't we had some already ? This is where we give a remedy with very little improvement, but the next remedy is very clear.
Question: There is improvement in a one-sided case ?
George: There is some kind of improvement, yes.
Question: You said something about the remedy bringing them to a certain state of health that then gives them the freedom to read more [...]
CONSTITUTIONAL REMEDIES – Talks on Classical Homeopathy Part 3 – Discussion with Geroge Vithoulkas
CONSTITUTIONAL REMEDIES
George: Yes. You are asking how long we take with a homoeopathic treatment to wipe out a predisposition? There is no such thing. If the predisposition can be wiped out, perhaps immediately. But always there is a possibility that it will come back. This question involves a lot of thinking to see when a predisposition can be wiped out. WHEN WE HAVE A CASE WHERE THE PERSON IS SAY Nat-c. CONSTITUTIONALLY, SO HE COMES ONE YEAR AGO AND TAKES Nat-c. AND GOES AWAY. THEN THERE IS A RELAPSE AFTER TWO YEARS. AGAIN Nat-c. IS GIVEN. THEN AFTER FIVE YEARS AGAIN Nat-c. IS HELPING HIM. THAT IS HIS MAIN REMEDY AND Nat-c. IS SUPPOSED TO WIPE OUT THE PREDISPOSITION TO WHATEVER HE HAS IMMEDIATELY. THERE ARE OTHER PERSONS WHO NEED TWO OR THREE REMEDIES BEFORE THEY COME INTO A BALANCE. THEN WE SAY AFTER THE THREE REMEDIES THAT THE PREDISPOSITION HAS BEEN WIPED OUT.
SO THE ONE PERSON WITH THE Nat-c., THE PERSON WHO IS A CLEAR CUT CASE AND THE CONSTITUTIONAL REMEDY IS CLEAR, HIS PREDISPOSITION WE CAN SAY IS WIPED OUT IMMEDIATELY AFTER GIVING THE REMEDY. ANOTHER ONE WILL NEED THREE REMEDIES BEFORE THE PREDISPOSITION IS TAKEN AWAY - OR ONE LAYER WE CALL IT. THERE IS NO SUCH THING read more [...]
IMPOTENCY – Talks on Classical Homeopathy Part 3 – Discussion with Geroge Vithoulkas
IMPOTENCY
George: I think somebody asked yesterday why did I prescribe Staph. The reasons why I prescribed Staph. in that case ... you see, from the impressions that the interview gave, would you say that this man was preoccupied with sex quite a lot?
Response: Yes.
George: Therefore, he has a heavy (strong) desire but there is no capacity. What was interesting is that feeling of the brain not taking part in the sexual act. The feeling was mostly on his occiput. It was one year before l decided to give a second remedy. The reason I waited was because we did not have a complete picture again. The picture would not be developed. What I found out was that he had desire, but no erections, but at the same time there was something which was not moving behind the brain. Can anybody remember from Staph. "a feeling in the occiput' how it is described? There was a solid feeling in the brain, and it was not "moving". This was behind - inside. Staph. gives a sense of weakness in thinking, in performing, in his feelings, weakness generally. It is a feeling that "something is holding the brain" and it is on the occiput. Staph. is one of the main remedies for impotency. What are read more [...]
MELANOMA – Talks on Classical Homeopathy Part 3 – Discussion with Geroge Vithoulkas
MELANOMA
Question: There is a very interesting case which I wonder if we could bring up about melanoma.
Answer: This was a patient who was basically treated for a petit mal epilepsy. [gave her Nat-m. and the petit mat epilepsy went away. I didn't see her again for about five months. She came back in and said that a friend of hers had seen a mole on her skin. She went to a dermatologist and had it taken off; a biopsy revealed a melanoma. The mole had been there for a long period of time. Then they did a very wide excision of this melanoma. The petit mal epilepsy came back. What would that mean as far as direction?
George. This is what usually happens. She would be feeling better if she was taking milk. That is an interesting question to ask. In those cases, that get better with milk, they have a great desire for milk. When the gravity of the disease goes to the physical body completely and that is not allowed to the skin - it is suppressed. The melanoma is not a cancer. It is a malignant ulcer which if it is operated upon might cause a metastasis, usually to the brain.
Question: The fact that she got her petit mal epilepsy back is a good sign for her then?
George: read more [...]

Homeopathic Rubrics of spring season from all the major repertories – Dr Devendra Pal Singh
I have collected rubrics of spring season from all the major repertories. And I wish you all study them deeply. So that when patient comes to you in this season with complaint of dysentery so you better be prepared that you have to consider kali. bi.
Now we all are familiar with spring coryza of allium.cepa, and autmnal dysentery of colchicum. we must think why season used as a symptom by our stalwarts, !!!!Because in both clinical and drug proving they found affinity of certain drugs towards particular seasons with associated complaint.

In this season you will have complaints of both acute and chronic like vertigo, asthma, cough, skin eruptions, coryza, dysentery, fever, toothache, facial neuralgia, diarrhea, hoarseness of voice, weakness, stomach ulcers, rheumatism and many more.

Palladium پلاڈیم – The Essential Homeopathic Features Homeopathic Materia Medica VIVA by George Vithoulkas
Palladium پلاڈیم - The Essential Homeopathic Features
Palladium patients are having tremendous emotional insecurity with strong emotions that cannot be expressed, and in this way creating a blockade, a deep inner conflict that needs constant support on the part of those around and especially those whom they are intemately connected, all this is coupled wiyth a tremeddous unexpressed egoism.
They actually think all the time that they are worth more than the others think about them, and it does not matter how much praise thay may others use for them it is neverr enough. An insatiable hunger for flattery, not only praise but really flatter. It is impressive how much they crave it and how little they openly admit and ask for it.
They will sit in the company of many people and if nobody pays attention to them for sometimes they have a strong sense that they are neglected. On the contrary if they feel that they are appreciated they keep very alive and excitable during the contact with the others, and they spend so much emotional energy that when they go back home and are alone again they feel exhausted. Actually this feeling for the need for support and the good read more [...]
