MEDO,Gonorrheal rheumatism not treated properly leads to severe liver congestion even pus heart compression force weak as if dilated,urine highly colored smelly abdomen ascites tender,hot hand burn palms but esp see knee to soles area soles tender cannot walk on desert sand in summer this area itches.chill 11 am not confuse with nat mur malarial and in afternoon fever later sweat esp knee to sole.sleep head in pillow knees up for relief tender dropsical abdomen.mind as incipient insane hypersensitive believe none trembles with worry as if someone is after his blood.EW Berridge Lippe associate has left best guidance on this serious remedy last life saving tool.Rheumatism is esp byproduct we suppress vital force symptoms by other pathies, vital organs sympathetic parasympathetic balance disturbed.earlier stage rheumatism can be nicely tackled by phyto lyco rhustox guaicum thuja like remedies which work as drainers.even ready made mixtures likes of reckeweg adel etc work better than other pathies advertised.
everyone desires to be happy works to increase pleasure and to decrease pain this type motivation defined by Greeks as HEDONISM,excess of everything is bad our grandmothers knew it child for proper development should laugh but not excessive also weep to know what pain is but not excessive.Medorrhinum is strongest tool with homeopaths for violent sycosis miasm plus syphilitic damage,not convinced modern homeopaths read George Vithoulkas pendulam Medo theory ten times will not be able to compete with grandmother theory,create confusion to carry on education business long back Barker said faulty education is main reason for homeopathy not getting its true place.
when going minutely medo proving by ew berridge,some key clinical symptoms are worth for easy selection.yawns sleepy,chill fever alternate frequently,inner lip blisters,nausea after eating,pale gums yellow teeth,craves salt abscess liver,watery eyes,dull mind slow in answering with left face neuralgia.lack of proper oxidation rheumatic dithesis sycotic miasm soles sensitive.thuja is cool blooded in potency heats up body temperature normalises.medo potency will remove uncalled for heat production called pitta.thuja pulse is wiry.bengali olden times practical tuned homeopaths stress equalise your body temperature these two remedies may be required in alternate.sycoticmiasm makes one dull and drowsy due to excess of hydrogen ions.
As per edward c whitmont,medo is king of IMPATIENT remedies,inner mind hurried to enjoy all worldly wishes,then excess of everything leads to also extreme exhaustion,fishy smell secretions,feeling of heat burning around heart area,ayurveda claims it pitta side effects.one cannot be a saint but sayings of saints to some extent has to be followed.vithoulkas terms it pendulam going to extremes where as merc pendulam operates in narrow range.when soles burn heatup think of medorrhinum to flush out toxins of excesses.Dalmia once said you think i am too big but i cannot digest dalmia biscuit.happy are those not very rich nor very poor plus positive waves thinking.
