- The condition: 38-year-old woman prescribed Ambien. She is a self described "Type A person" who much more enjoys indoor activities than time in nature. She also has experienced a lifetime of disturbed sleep, as well as daily fatigue. Is wanting to no longer take prescribed medications.
- Cathleen's remedy recommendation: Eliminate daily morning coffee to allow adrenal glands to rest. Increase water intake each day. Anxiety & Stress formula + Nux vomica 30c. After a couple of weeks, her sleep pattern reset to nights of longer rest. She also reports that she has more energy during the day to continue her consulting business.
Case #2: CHRONIC COUGH AND FATIGUE
- The condition: 90-year-old woman who is otherwise healthy and active. Has lived a full life of work and travel. She is allergic to dogs and cats; is still a go-getter at heart; is very social, and loves to eat salty foods and smoked cheeses; however, these days she has less energy to pursue her daily activities.
- Cathleen's remedy recommendation: A combination of heavy metals detox, classical homeopathy specific to this woman's case (nosode Tuberculinum, followed by Phosphorus) and nutritional mineral support. "The remedies worked like a charm" was this client's report. She is feeling much calmer. Her cough has cleared and her energy to continue her active lifestyle has returned.
- The condition: With flu season in full swing, Peter called me for a phone consultation with the following symptoms: He was feeling unusually chilly ("I can't get warm"), tired, and weak. He had been constipated for two days before the onset of these symptoms. In addition, he had been working a lot of overtime lately and, therefore, drinking more coffee than usual. He noticed that he had also become highly sensitive to noise and odors.
- Cathleen's remedy recommendation: "While speaking with Peter, I discovered that, along with the symptoms he reported, he was feeling angry about the number of hours that his manager expected him to work. This fact, combined with his aches, chills, and constipation, led me to recommend Nux vomica 30c twice daily until he noticed his flu symptoms lifting."
- Recovery: Peter took the remedy and immediately fell into a deep, refreshing sleep. Within a few days, his flu symptoms were completely gone, plus, he said he felt much calmer at work.
