Not T.D.S., But True Prescribing – A Live Case.
[3/15, 07:07] Na: Hello
How are you Inerdev?
We went to a dinner last night. I drink a little bit of cherry liquer, and 3 sweet soft drinks. I ate a bit of chevapchichi made of mince meat and one chicken skewer plus veggies.
I m so sick this morning. I vomited water till bitter taste. Can not vomit anything solid. My head idd spinning. Can not keep my eyes open. I took ars alb 1m at 7am. Don t think it helped much. I feel so sick. I started belching now. It burns up the esophagus too
Thank you
[3/15, 07:08] Inerdev: Please take nux vomica 1m now and update me in 3 hours
[3/15, 10:39] Naa: I took nux vomica 1m. An hour after I vomited some more bitter water. My head was still spinning and hurting.
I slept for 2 hours..
Now I drink some water. I feel still sick belching and the head is still hurting. Feels swollen. Dizzy. Eyes burning. Breathing more through the mouth. Can not stay up for much
[3/15, 10:39] Na: Almost at all
[3/15, 10:46] Nsa: It s like burning inside. My head
[3/15, 10:53] Nasa: I do also feel like that meat up in my stomach
[3/15, 11:05] Ns: My ears get blocked when stand up
[3/15, 11:28] Naa: Ok
[3/15, 11:29] Nsa: I just vomited lots of water again.
[3/15, 12:40] Inerdev: Please take carbo veg1m now and after 1 hour take nux vomica 1m
[3/15, 17:28] Naa: Hello
I saw to take carb veg and nux which I did.
I was sleeping pretty much all time. Still feeling sick and belching. Bitter taste at the back of my throat. Dry mouth. Feeling thirsty. Headache almost gone but at the front and dizzy. Can walk a bit. Only lying în bed.
[3/15, 17:35] Na: Started a few Not sure but arsenic the vomiting feeling was better.
[3/15, 17:36] Naa: Just vomited lots of water again. Blocked left ear. Headache on left mainly
[3/15, 17:37] Na: Had 1 tablespoon of natural low făt yogurt at about 5ish. Nothing else
[3/15, 17:50] Inerdev: Are you comparatively better since morning?
[3/15, 17:54] Nsa: My headache s way better. My head was exploding this morning.
I probably don t feel as full as this morning but the feeling of vomiting s very little less
[3/15, 18:00] Na: And I m breathing through My nose now
[3/15, 18:05] Inerdev: Are you having running nose or cold
How is your body temperature, fever or feeling cold etc
How is the weather over there
[3/15, 18:16] Na: It s been a nice 32 deg day from what I saw from inside. No cold. No fever. 36. 5
Although my head felt a bit hot and I put warm compress on my forehead through the day.
I keep thinking that maybe that mi cedat meat wasn t well done on the bbq as I still feel it în my tummy. Although that sour cherry was 10 times probably what I d normally drink
[3/15, 19:01] Inerdev: You please take the nux vomica
You are having food poisoning, if the toxins come out through vomiting you will get relief
Or if it comes out through stools like diarrheo.
[3/15, 19:01] Inerdev: How has been your stools?
[3/15, 19:02] N: I only had a smell stool în the morning. Nothing since
[3/16, 11:35] Inerdev: Good morning
How are you doing
[3/16, 11:47] Naa: Good morning
I am feeling much better. I was hungry and I just ate. Hopefully not too much. But i am still feeling light headed, a bit dizzy, left ear is blocked and left temple headache. Can not stay up for long. I haVe a cough and my back hurts when i cough. And the lentils and toast I ate gave me a bitter taste în the back of my throat again and breathing harper.
[3/16, 12:27] Inerdev: How was the stools and how is your thirst
[3/16, 12:33] Na: I had one stool today. A bit constipated. A bit explozive. Dry mouth still but not as thirsty. I started belching again after food 2 hours again and have a bit of headache în tge back of my head.
[3/17, 10:45] Inerdev: Hello how are you doing
[3/17, 14:24] Naa: Hello
I m better again
I had a good stool today. I went out for a couple of hours and so.e computer work. Then I had some pasta with beans and veggies sauce that I made and a protein pudding the bitter taste came back to my mouth all over.
[3/17, 14:31] Naa: And my upper back hurts. And my coughing is better but the back still hurts when I cough
[3/17, 17:19] Naa: I only drink water tonight. That bitter taste în my mouth does not go away. Is it from the bile, liver, toxines ...?!
[3/17, 18:31] Inerdev: Yes it is coz of bile, but its not coz of liver toxins
Your food which you ate is still lying there in your gastrointestinal track, to digest it more bile secretion is taking place.
Please take nux vomica 1m, now and repeat it after 3 hours if you are awake.
[3/17, 18:32] Inerdev: The food which caused the food poisoning not which you ate today.
[3/17, 18:33] Inerdev: You had such events in the past also, meat might not be proper but it can happen by overeating also
[3/17, 18:35] Nsa: Ok. Thank you.
I don t know why I ate that mince. I didn t even really want too. I ll be more careful.
But strangely enough I craved for some roast chicken last week.
Thank you
[3/17, 19:20] Naa: Should I take one more dose if I wake up through the night or tomorrow morning , please. I only took it once and it s midnight now
[3/17, 19:26] Inerdev: Yes you can
[3/17, 19:27] Nsa: Thank you
I feel like my stomach s irritated
[3/18, 14:13] Na: Hello
I woke up with a very white coated tongue and bitter taste. I took Nux vom two times last night.
Bitter taste after lunch approx 2 house after. Better now. I had some fruit though and my stomach is burning and feels inflated too. Tongue started to peel away tge white
Now what remedy will you prescribe?
Acute Case Illustration – Understanding True Homoeopathic Practice
The above case is a classic example of how acute conditions are managed in homoeopathy.
It clearly demonstrates that homoeopathy does not work on a routine “T.D.S. (thrice daily)” prescription pattern like conventional medicine. Each prescription here was based on the changing totality of symptoms, requiring careful observation and timely intervention.
If a fixed, repetitive dosing seems to “work,” it is often not a true curative response but merely an indisposition resolving on its own, with the remedy playing little or no decisive role.
In genuine cases, especially acute ones, the physician must:
Observe the evolution of symptoms
Individualize the remedy
Adjust potency and repetition based on response
This is the essence of Classical Homoeopathy as laid down by Samuel Hahnemann.
