ACUTE TRAUMA PTSD

REMEDIES

• Aconite (as above)
• Androctonos (Scorpion)

ANDROCTONOS

• Over confidence
• potentially dangerous, either to self or to others.
• A sense of adolescent omnipotence, of invulnerability emerged.
• Contemptuous. Want of moral feeling.
• Quarrelsome. Unsympathetic.
• Deceitful and defiant.
• Delusion they are going to be assaulted.
• Malicious with desire to injure.
• Cruel and unfeeling.
• Cold knife-edged violence, desire to stab things.
• Suspiciousness.
• Fear of one’s own impulses.

Lack of control.

• Uncontrollable emotions. Or: complete inability to express emotions; can’t weep.
• Wants to control others.

One of the main features of the remedy is a total lack of guilt and remorse, unfeeling. This is more so than in Anacardium which is more like snake remedies in that there is a strong sense of duality.

CONCLUSIONS:

• The Swiss government has determined that homeopathy is the most cost effective method of medical treatment for ‘ambulatory’ patients.

• “From 1999 to 2005, 5 methods of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) applied by physicians were provisionally included in the mandatory Swiss basic health insurance. Within this process, an evaluation of cost-effectiveness is required.”

• Homeopathy was one of the five methods and it turns out that it is the most cost effective, more than conventional medicine or any other complimentary medicine. Patients reported a better quality of the patient-physician relationship and fewer adverse side effects than with all other complementary medical approaches.

• The positive general conclusion of the study was: “This study uses a health system perspective and demonstrates at least equal or better cost-effectiveness of complementary and alternative medicine in the setting of Swiss ambulatory care. CAM can therefore be seen as a valid complement to conventional medicine within Swiss health care.”

• The study “Comparison of swiss basic health insurance costs of complementary and conventional medicine” was published in PubMed. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22189362 “Statistical procedures show similar total practice costs for CAM and COM, with the exception of homeopathy with 15.4% lower costs than COM.”

Homeopathy may not be easy, but it’s cheap!
