Prophylactic for the common cold

Prophylactic for the Common Cold

June 2 2013
I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THE REMEDIES LISTED BELOW ARE NOT AS EFFECTIVE AS THE ANTI VIRAL REMEDY
Eupatorium Perfoliatum 200 in the Wet dose taken every 3 hours which I have used and prescribed widely as it aborts the Virus that causes the Common Cold.

I also prescribe Eupat Perf 200 in the Wet dose for DENGUE with about 95% success.

Joe De Livera

I have in the recent past, been catching Colds often and I mentioned this problem to a friend of mine, a qualified Homeopath who like me is in Homeopathy as a Hobby although he is Electronic Engineering professionally.

He gave me the names of 3 remedies which he had formulated based on his research into these remedies and they are listed below. It is important that these 3 remedies are taken in the standard pellets and 4 pellets of each remedy are taken every 2 hours. The maximum time allowed is 3 hours between each dose.

Calc Carb  30c

Phosphorous  30c

Lycopodium  30c

I have used these remedies myself as prescribed and discovered that I am no more sensitive to catching colds and both my nostrils are clear and not congested anymore.

This simple test is useful to figure out if one is sensitive to colds as one should normally be able to breathe through both nostrils which would then indicate that the person is not sensitive to catching the Common Cold.

I have also given these remedies to my patients, one of whom was suffering from chronic Catarrh for many years and started the day with about 50 sneezes every morning. He reported that on the morning after he took the remedies his Catarrh had ceased completely and he does not suffer from what he thought was an incurable ailment anymore. I have given these remedies to other patients and they have all confirmed that they do not have any signs of blocked noses anymore.

I would recommend these remedies to anyone who would like to have a Prophylactic to the Common Cold without hesitation and would appreciate if those who use it will please confirm their response on this website.

    Dear Joe,

    Are these remedies taken only for a day 2/3hours apart or are they to be continued .

      “How many dose has to be taken in a day.”

      Dose of what?
      And for which ailment?

      Surely you cannot expect me to advice you without this basic information.

  3. vicky says:

    Hello Joe,

    I was referring to the post of yours for cold. As per your older post one must take the below mentioned medicine for cold.

    4 pellets every two to three hours. So what we understand is we take 4×3=12 pellets at one time and the next dose after 2-3 hours.
    Calc carb 30c
    Phosphorous 30c
    Lycopodium 30c

    I wanted to know how many doses have to be taken in a day and for how many days.

    Thanks,
    Vicky

      I have since discovered personally that Eupatorium Perfoliatum 30 in the Wet dose is even more effective as a Prophylactic against colds. I take a dose just once weekly and have observed that my resistance to colds has improved considerably in comparison to the 3 sets of pellets I prescribed in the past.

      This all started with my using Eupat Perf 200 in the Wet dose to CURE Dengue and have had some remarkable success with it. I like to experiment and since this remedy seems to kill the virus that causes Dengue, I thought that it should also be of use in the lower potency to help with colds.

      And it did in a manner that even I was surprised.

        Greetings Doc,

        So I understand that I have to take Eupatorium Perfoliatum 30c in the wet dose twice a day.

        Please let me know for how many days should I take this and when to discontinue.

        Thanks & Regards,

    Dear Joe,
    I have been suffering from a terrible cough and a productive cough for sometime now. The coughing has been constant especially at night time. I am bringing up very thick sticky mucus from my lungs I feel. started from I think last August but it was intermittent. in the last two months it’s got worse. I cannot sleep. I feel very low in energy and can’t seem to function. Today I got chest pain lasting over 5 mins. Can you help me? I am based in UK.
    Many thanks

      I wonder if your cough was caused by the same virus that hit Sri Lanka about a month ago. My wife was one of the early victims and if it is any solace to you, she is still coughing even after about 3 weeks during which she first used my Homeopathy but did not conform to my instructions to take the remedy every 2 hours and she paid for her negligence as the virus was replaced by a bacteria which affected her lungs (whistling), causing the same symptoms you suffer from. It was painful to hear her cough in paroxysms and she would do this about every 2 hours at night, often waking me up. She then took Amoxyl 250 for 5 days and also used steam inhalation about 5 times daily which you too can do.

      I have observed that about 20% of the population in Colombo are coughing away for their dear lives but there is very little that can be done for them at that stage. This virus can be STOPPED in its tracks just when it is starting to attack your throat when you will observe that you have a hoarse throat with excess phlegm.

      The protocol I have outlined must be adhered to faithfully.

      The remedy is:

      Bryonia 200 in the Wet dose which is taken every 2 hours and gargled before swallowing.

      You can prevent colds which I believe you referred to in a previous post with:
      Eupatorium Perfoliatum 30c in the Wet dose taken just twice weekly.

      This will also build up resistance to Coughs which are also caused by another virus.

      Also take Arnica 30c in the Wet dose nightly for the rest of your life if you wish to be free of Hypertension, Cholesterol and other fats in the blood that can cause blocked arteries.
      Visit:
      http://www.joedelivera.com/?p=66

      “Today I got chest pain lasting over 5 mins.”
      Do you have any digestive problems or Gastritis?
      The remedy is Nat Phos 6x dose 2-3 tablets taken immediately after meals.

      You mentioned Depression in a previous post.
      The remedy is Nat Mur 6x dose 2-3 tablets taken thrice daily and stopped as soon as you feel OK.

      The Wet dose of any Homeopathic remedy is made as follows:

      Order the remedy in the Liquid pack in Alcohol, also referred to as Liquid Dilution in a bottle preferably with a dropper arrangement.
      Get a 500ml bottle of Spring Water from the nearest supermarket.
      Pour out about 3cm of water from the bottle to leave some airspace.
      Insert 3 drops of the remedy into the bottle and shake the bottle hard at least 6 times before you sip a capfull of the bottle or a large teaspoonful which is the dose.
      Shaking the bottle hard is homeopathic succussion and this enhances the effect of the remedy on the user.

      Report progress weekly.

    Dear Joe,
    Thank you for your detailed reply. I was diagnosed with IBS however still unsure what that is. Apparently it’s a generic name for stomache disorders which have no apparent reason. I now am finding that the sticky phlegm is just lodged in my throat all the time. It started off as a flu like thing which has progressed to a chronic productive cough. I sympathise with your wife and hope she gets better soon.

    As your reply has been so comprehensive might I just ask you to clarify for my simple mind which treatment to start with and which to follow with or should I try all treatments concurrently ?

    Also please guide me on which form to get eg pills tablets granules ?

    I will be happy to report back to you once I’ve started treatment for a week.

    May God bless you & your family
    Parvati

    • Joe says:

      Parvati

      Please give me the full history of what you mean by IBS.

      Do you suffer from
      Loose motions?
      Reflux with burning and acid taste after meals especially dinner?
      Lack of appetite?
      Puffy stomach after meals?

      What drugs are you taking for IBS and all other ailments today?

      You will get all 30c remedies in the Liquid Dilution preferably from Ainsworths.
      All X potency in tablets.

  6. Parvati says:

    Hi joe ,
    Ibs ( irritable bowel syndrome ) diagnosed after all sorts of invasive procedures as my stomache felt heavy all the time, I can’t remember the other symptoms now I just remember there not really being any medicine. As my Vit D levels were extremely low I was just put on calcichew d-3 forte tablets and iron tablets as I’m told my red blood cells have shrunk. But I haven’t really been taking these regularly. Yes I also have a lack of appetite. I’m not on any drugs just fe and vit d tablets.

    Regarding the medicine how about the bryonia

  7. Parvati says:

    Dear Joe,

    It Took me a while to get all the remedies you suggested but I’ve been on Bryonia 200c 3 caps gargled then swallowed twice a day and nat Sulph one cap at bedtime for a week now. I wanted to report my progress as requested. 

    The cough and phlegm I have been suffering with chronically since early feb has improved greatly. I still have a little chestiness but not to any degree like for the past 9 months. I told you it all started last August and progressed. I was told me to use an asthma inhaler to help my cough without my even having a lung function to diagnose me. I was sent to the wrong clinic to be checked ie ENT who said I should have been referred to a respiratory clinic and then the dr refused to refer me until she got the actual letter from the consultant because now the GP has to pay for re referrals whereas before the referring hospital paid. I didn’t want unnecessary hospital appointments and drugs anyway and in a way them not helping me was a godsend as it motivated me to research for natural cures which is when I came across abc homeopathy where I heard about you. 

    I’ve told everyone dear to me about you. Friends and family. Thank you so much. We should all give thanks for knowing such a warm hearted generous and kind soul. All people want is time from people. Drs don’t have time. Ten minutes is all you get with them. You being 83, still travelling to the office daily and managing to make so much time for so many people in order to help them without the need for any return apart from for us to report progress is something to be inspired by. You have helped lift my mood as I was so low with my constant coughing in the night and broken sleep. I have also started on the nat mur 6x and ferr phos for my anaemia.

    Your knowledge and your humanity is simply amazing. 

    Thank you will never be enough but I extend to you my sincere thanks. 

  8. Parvati says:

    Thanks for advising To stop the Bryonia 200c 3x a day . You will have to cut down on this remedy as unlike Arnica, this is not recommended for daily use as we are dealing with the unknown. Stay with just one dose daily + the Nat Sulph 6c. Gargle with the Bry200 just before bed to keep it in your throat membranes and do the N Sulph before dinner.

    This is very useful to know

    • Parvati says:

      When the dr examined me earlier this year she found 3 big lumps in my breasts. I had them diagnosed as benign after a biopsy and was told that all i had from U/S was hundreds of cysts in my breasts which I was told was nothing to be worried about !

      I’m starting on the Conium 6c 1 cap 2x daily and will report progress In a month as requested

      I was presenting with chest pains and took Nat phos 6x 3 tabs 2xdaily, i havent had an episode since but will keep you posted.

      I was getting tingling in my left hand daily. Sometimes it went on for hours. Immediately I commenced Arnica 30c twice daily as prescribed by your good self the episodes lasted less time and hopefully it will go away eventually but it’s only been a few days.

      Thanks for all your help

        Thank you for posting a summary of my advice to you on my blog.

        It will hopefully be read by other visitors who may derive some benefit from using the therapy (Joepathy) I prescribed which has help you.

        It occurs to me that I have not requested you to do some form of physical exercise to help your body to come back to a more healthy state. I shall discuss this matter with you when we Skype next.

  9. Parvati says:

    I was going to wait a month to post progress on the lumps in my breasts but I am writing to report another small miracle seems to have occurred for me. Within a week of commencing on conium 6c I have no tenderness and the lumps have started to vanish on self examination. The pain from the lumps has been bothering me for the last 3-4 months and perhaps the speed of the effectiveness of treatment is due to the fact I started treatment on just purely per chance mentioning my hospital visit to you and you advising me to start the conium and to not take drs advise to just put up with it and take oil of evening primrose.

    I’m so glad I ordered the conium. Thank you do much. My productive hacking cough has been kept at bay with nat sulp 6c which as you have advised I shall probably have to continue for a few months S when I missed a few doses the symptoms returned although not as bad.

    My chest pain has been helped with nat phos which i take whenever i get the pain and its almost like taking the gnt spray and tingling in my left hand is Being treated with arnica 30c first thing when I wake and few hours before bed as nat sulph is my last remedy before bed.

    I hope this update helps and gives hope to others with any similar symptoms.

    • Joe says:

      Parvati

      I too have been simply amazed at how very quickly Conium works to solve the problem especially in breast lumps.

      I had a case of a woman 40 yrs who was listed for surgery on at least 2 occasions but when she was prepped for surgery they decided that it was redundant and sent her home from our government hospitals in 2 cities. She was in acute pain and used to moan with the intensity so it was real. I gave her the same Joepathy and she was cured in about 2 weeks after suffering for about 2 years using analgesics to alleviate her agony.

      You should hopefully be free of all lumps in a month but you may have to take the Conium on a weekly basis after all lumps have been reduced and you will continue to take the Arnica for life.

      Thank you for posting the relief you have enjoyed from your other ailments

    Hi Joe,
    We will be coming to india this december and we would like to know whether the following can be used as a prophylactic for my daughter who is 3 years old.

    Calc Carb 30c

    Phosphorous 30c

    Lycopodium 30c

    We all are afraid that we will catch cold after coming there and we want some prophylactic to avoid cold/cough.All of us are prone to get cold cough and my daughter used to get it more frequently when in India
    Thanks a lot for your advise.

    • Joe says:

      praneema

      Based on my latest research with Eupatorium Perfoliatum 200c in the Wet dose, I have changed my mind about using the 3 remedies you listed to prevent colds.

      I now use and prescribe EP 200 in the WD as a prophylactic against Colds and URT infections. The recommended dosage is just one cap full taken twice weekly. It will not only prevent catching colds but most important of all, it will prevent catching all virus borne infections including fevers of unknown origin and of course Dengue which it will CURE within a few hours.

      Unbelievable but true, based on my current experience.

      • praneema says:

        Thanks for the reply Joe.Can we give EP 200 in the WD as a prophylactic against Colds to my daughter who is 3 years old?? She is more prone to cold and viral infections….Please suggest.

          Thanks for the reply Joe.I have EP 30 c and and not 200 c.Will it works as a prophylactic?

  11. praneema says:

    I have Eut Perf 30 c and and not 200 c.Will it work as a prophylactic to common cold ? What should be the dosage? Please advise.

    I don’t have eut perf 200c and it is very difficult to get it outside india.

    Thanks.

    • Joe says:

      Praneema

      I have discovered that Eupat Perf 200c is better than the 30c to help prevent colds. Since however you do not have the 200c potency you may use the 30c. I shall copy my default remedy for colds below.

      Treatment of Catarrh and Colds

      The therapy that has helped many patients who were victims of Catarrh for a long time with sneezing and coryza is:

      Eupatoriium Perfoliatum 200c in the Wet dose taken thrice daily for 3 days and changed to just TWICE WEEKLY thereafter.

      Patients have reported that their sneezing has abated overnight with this therapy which is not prescribed for this ailment in the classical Homeopathic textbooks.

      Those who have been catching colds have reported that their resistance to colds has improved in a manner that they considered as unbelievable.

      It is essential that at the first signs of a cold, the patient takes this remedy in the Wet dose every 3 hours to ensure that the virus is aborted.

      The Wet dose of any Homeopathic remedy is made as follows:

      Order the remedy in the Liquid pack in Alcohol, also referred to as Liquid Dilution in a bottle preferably with a dropper arrangement.
      Get a 500ml bottle of Spring Water from the nearest supermarket.
      Pour out about 3cm of water from the bottle to leave some airspace.
      Insert 3 drops of the remedy into the bottle and shake the bottle hard at least 6 times before you sip a capfull of the bottle or a large teaspoonful which is the dose.
      Shaking the bottle hard is homeopathic succussion and this enhances the effect of the remedy on the user.

      • praneema says:

        Thanks joe. I have a bad throat infection now and I have already started EP 30c WD every 3 hours.

        You have mentioned 3 drops but I have put 7-8 drops….is it any problem with putting more drops by mistake?

        I will report the progress of how the intensity of cold goes now since I am taking EP 30 c. Thanks again for your response. It means a lot.

        • Joe says:

          Praneema

          EP 30 is ineffective to help a cold.

          EP 200 in the Wet dose will help.

          EP will NOT help a sore throat.

          Only Bryonia 200 in the Wet dose will help

          • praneema says:

            Thanks Joe,
            So as soon as throat gets infected Bryonia 200 should be taken but what is the dosage? Also EP200 should be taken every 3 – 4 hours when the cold begins? Please let me know.

            • Joe says:

              Praneema

              It is best to take Bryonia 200 as soon as you feel the irritation in the throat with phlegm which is usually accompanied by a cough with perhaps a hoarse throat.

              Gargle with the Bry 200 and swallow it every 3 hours and this should normally abort the virus.

              EP 200 can be used for all virus diseases including nasal problems and also to stop a fever. Take it every 3 hours.

  12. praneema says:

    hi joe,
    Thanks for your response. This time I am just fighting the cold and cough naturally as I do not have Bry 200 and EP 200 and as you stated EP 30 was ineffective for me for cold and cough.
    I will be travelling to India and I want my family(myself,my wife and my 3 years old daughter) to be free of this cough and cold. This cold/cough as the general doc says is very common but no doctor can understand the pain and the number of days which are wasted due to this disease. I have to miss my office 3-4 days everytime I have this cold/cough. This is what my kit for cold cough will include
    EP 200 c
    Bry 200c
    Nat Sulph 6c WD(read in your other bogs)
    Arnica 30c

    Is there anything else which should be included in the kit as it would not be possible again to get any homeo medidcine once we are out of India.
    There are other medicnes which I read on the internet like pulasatilla 30,calc carb 30, etc. Please let me know what all should be included in the kit to fight this cold/cough forever. In the worst case if EP 200 and Bry 200 would not work what others can be included in the kit to fight cough and cold? I want to get rid of this for me and my family forever.

        Hi Joe,

        i am living in Europe and I will be going to India after sometime from where I plan to buy most of the homepothic medicines.That is why I need to know what should the kit contain for cold/cough I have made the list of the following
        EP 200 c
        Bry 200c
        Nat Sulph 6c WD(read in your other bogs)
        Arnica 30c
        Is there any other medicines needed for chroninc cough and cold? As of now I don’t have these remedies here and I am literally coughing a lot but somehow fighting it. My symptoms are as follows:-
        1.Sore thraot
        2.Mucus comes out from nose
        3.After 3 days I start coughing a lot and I cant sleep in the nights I cough day and night and mucus comes out while coughing
        4. My whole body aches after 4 days of chronic cough and cold. The coughing is so much that I feel by throat is burning. My neck stiffs and whole body aches. Nothing can stop this cough, neither cough syrups nor the conventional antibiotics. Allopathy is waste of time. I can’t even go to office such is the chronic situation.

        Please guide apart from the above mentioned medicines in the list should I add some more?What if Bry 200 and EP 200 doesn’t work? I am thinking abt worst case and thats why I want that my kit for cough cold should contain all the combination possible. Please guide meas I dont want this cough cold to come again. Even if iot comes I should have all the medicines with me. I will wait for your response and change my list as per your suggestions

    • Joe says:

      Jeys

      I have studied the list of remedies that your dad has been prescribed and except for Nux Vom and Bryonia they are not of any use, especially when taken in the standard pellets which you refer to as pills.

      I was converted to Homeopathy over 40 years ago by a Homeopath who cured my frequent colds which I was catching weekly at that time. This lead me to study this Science of Homeopathy and later discover many remedies which are not listed in Homeopathic text books for the ailments and diseases that I prescribe them for.

      My research with remedies has enabled me to DISCOVER many new uses for standard remedies and I now prescribe and also use just one remedy for ALL nasal and allergic problems.
      All remedies are taken in the Wet dose as this makes a monumental difference in the effect of the remedy on the patient.

      Eupatorium Perfoliatum 200 in the Wet dose taken just twice daily.

      The Wet dose of any Homeopathic remedy is made as follows:

      Order the remedy in the Liquid pack in Alcohol, also referred to as Liquid Dilution in a bottle preferably with a dropper arrangement.
      Get a 500ml bottle of Spring Water from the nearest supermarket.
      Pour out about 3cm of water from the bottle to leave some airspace.
      Insert 3 drops of the remedy into the bottle and shake the bottle hard at least 6 times before you sip a capfull of the bottle or a large teaspoonful which is the dose.
      Shaking the bottle hard is homeopathic succussion and this enhances the effect of the remedy on the user.

      This remedy will also CURE DENGUE which no other remedy or drug can equal.

      Please report your dad’s response to this remedy in 24 hours after the first dose.

      For any problem with the throat you can use
      Bryonia 200 in the Wet dose as a gargle which is swallowed immediately after and used every 3 hours till the throat is cleared

      Shaking the bottle hard is homeopathic succussion and this shaking must be done at least 6 times before sipping a capful of the bottle as prescribed.

      You do not have to make a NEW BOTTLE of the remedy.

      You will use the contents of the bottle which is now the remedy and will last about 3 months.

      Some mineral waters sold in Europe are loaded with minerals and are NOT suitable to be used for the Wet dose.

      Use tap water after boiling to release the Chlorine which antidotes the Homeopathic remedy.

    My grandson three and half years old has common cold and has stuffy nose always while sleeping and has a disturbed sleep. Specialist doctor advised him for an adenoid operation. What to do in this case. Can homeopathy cure this and if so please help me out. Thanks.

    • Joe says:

      Jagdish Pabreja

      I shall copy below my default therapy which I have prescribed for the common Cold including Catarrh and I believe that this therapy can help your grandson. Please note that the dosage is for adults and you can give him half the dose recommended.

      Treatment of Catarrh and Colds

      The therapy that has helped many patients who were victims of Catarrh for a long time with sneezing and coryza is:

      Eupatoriium Perfoliatum 200c in the Wet dose taken twice daily for 3 days and changed to just TWICE WEEKLY thereafter.

      Patients have reported that their sneezing has abated overnight with this therapy which is not prescribed for this ailment in the classical Homeopathic textbooks.

      Those who have been catching colds have reported that their resistance to colds has improved in a manner that they considered as unbelievable.

      It is essential that at the first signs of a cold, the patient takes this remedy in the Wet dose every 3 hours to ensure that the virus is aborted.

      The Wet dose of any Homeopathic remedy is made as follows:

      Order the remedy in the Liquid pack in Alcohol, also referred to as Liquid Dilution in a bottle preferably with a dropper arrangement.
      Get a 500ml bottle of Spring Water from the nearest supermarket.
      Pour out about 3cm of water from the bottle to leave some airspace.
      Insert 3 drops of the remedy into the bottle and shake the bottle hard at least 6 times before you sip a capfull of the bottle or a large teaspoonful which is the dose.
      Shaking the bottle hard is homeopathic succussion and this enhances the effect of the remedy on the user.

    Hello Joe Sir

    Thank you so much for your prompt reply for my Nat phos query. I will resume Nat phos along with Arnica. Another urgent help I require is for my 3 WEEK old daughter. Every night she suffers from complete nose block and is unable to breathe. The doctors have given her 1 ml antihistamane along with nose drops. I am skeptical on using these medications for this new born infant. But I have been forced to give them in the last 2 days.

    I would like to know if this remedy would help her. I want to know in detail what medicine and how it should be administered since she is just 3 weeks old. We live in Bangalore where the weather is extremely dry and the pollution levels are very high and most people suffer from respiratory allergies.

    The baby weighs 3.6 kgs. She is breast fed. She doesnt have any other ailment. She gets thick yellow discharge from the nose once a day. The main problem is her nose block.

    Please help.

    Thanks and Regards

    • Joe says:

      Krithika

      I share your concern about your 3 week old baby daughter and am very surprised that an infant so young has a bacterial infection which you have described:
      “She gets thick yellow discharge from the nose once a day. The main problem is her nose block.”

      The yellow mucous indicates a bacterial infection for which the nose drops are the antibiotic remedy.

      Can you please indicate the drugs that your pediatrician has prescribed?

      The homeopathic remedy of choice is Eupatorium Perfoliatum 200c in the Wet dose taken twice daily. A dose is half a teaspoonful.

      The Wet dose of any Homeopathic remedy is made as follows:

      Order the remedy in the Ethanol pack also referred to as Liquid Dilution in a bottle preferably with a dropper arrangement.
      Get a 500ml bottle of Spring Water from the nearest supermarket.
      Pour out about 3cm of water from the bottle to leave some airspace.
      Insert 3 drops of the remedy into the bottle and shake the bottle hard before you sip a capfull of the bottle or a large teaspoonful which is the dose.
      Shaking the bottle hard is homeopathic succussion and this shaking must be done at least 6 times before sipping a capful of the bottle as prescribed.

      You will continue with the drugs that were prescribed and also give her the remedies Eupat Perf 200 made precisely according to the instructions above.

      Report progress in 3 days

      • Krit.hika says:

        Dear Joe Sir

        Thank you for your reply.

        The nose drops prescribed to her are: 1) Nasavion – It says Oxymetazoline Hydrochloride Nasal Solution USP – Decongestant solution for nose. The dosage is 1 drop into each nostril as and when required. There is also another oral medication that the doctor has prescibed. It is (2) Sinarest AF – Phenylephrine Hydrochloride and Chlorpheniramine Maleate Drops. 1ml thrice a day. I am not sure if these are antibiotics.

        I will buy Eupatorium Perfoliatum today and start it immediately.

        Will report progress soon

        Thanks a lot

            Hello Hoe sIR,

            I read these articles. Yes, it is very intimidating, indeed. The homeo store did not have stock of Eupatorium Perfoliatum. We will be getting them today. Meanwhile the last 2 days have been very exhausting with her having terrible colic and she has been crying a lot. She used to have a Bowel Movement after every feed but since 2 days she is just having one bowel movement in one day, that too after a lot of struggle. Can we give her Nat phos 6 x. Would also help release the gas and help with the colic?

            I will report progress soon.

            Thanks and Regards

              Krithika

              I believe that if you can help her to overcome her GERD or Reflux that we have won half the battle.
              Do not be concerned with just ONE bowel movement per day as this is AMPLE for a baby.
              The Nat Phos 6x will help her to pass gas and will stop her reflux if any.

              Her sinuses will also be cleared by the Eupat Perf 200 in the Wet dose. Half teaspoonful twice daily.

  21. Krithika says:

    Hello Joe Sir,

    Nat sulph is working very well for the baby. Her colic doesnt last long and she sleeps off peacefully. Your medicine seems to be God Sent!! I got the Eup Perf 200 today. I have made the wet dose and have started the first dose. I will update you with the progress soon. Thank you so much for your care and concern.

    I have another query. I am so sorry to be bombarding you with all sorts of health issues. I have so much faith in homeopathy but havent found the right doctor until now.

    I am having kind of a nervous attck after the child birth. My legs seem to be trembling and hands shaking and I aso keep getting nervous headaches. I have 2 older kids and it gets very tiring through the day. Can you please suggest some good medication so that my mind and body feel a little calmed down. Three weeks already and still feels as though I havent come out of the child birth trauma.

    Thanks a lot
    Krithika.

    • Joe says:

      Krithika

      Glad to learn that baby is responding to the Nat Phos 6x but do not over use it. Not over 6 doses of half tablet each per dose immediately after a feed.

      I cannot diagnose the reason for your problems but you can take Arnica 30c twice daily and Nat Mur 6x dose 3 tablets thrice daily and report your response.

  22. praneema says:

    Hi Joe,

    It’s spring and I again caught sore throat plus cold with nasal dripping and nose blockage. I initially started taking Bry 200 Wet Dose for a day when I had sore throat. When nasal dripping started on day 2 I stopped Bry 200 and started Eu Perf 200 Wet Dose. I am now taking Eu Perf every 3 hrs today. I hope my approach is correct. Should I also take Bry 200 along with Eu Perf 200? Or continue with Eu Perf 200c every 3 hrs?

    • Joe says:

      Praneema

      You did right in taking Eupat Perf 200 in the Wet dose to treat your VIRAL infection of your throat which will graduate into a full blown infection of the lungs in a few days.

      I have suffered from this same virus which I caught in early January and mistook it for a bacterial infection which I first treated with Bry 200 with no relief. After coughing my lungs out for 2 whole weeks I decided to take Amoxyl 500 thrice daily with absolutely no improvement. I then started on Eupat Perf 200 and took it every 3 hours and it just 2 days I was CURED.

      Please note that this virus is canny as it will manifest itself again and again in the nose or the throat and you may have to take the EP 200 every time it rears up its ugly head.

      • praneema says:

        Hi Joe,
        Thanks a lot for your response and it really means a lot to me.

        I can already see the difference today as the impact is reduced by 50% in one day.

        Next is for my 3 yrs old daughter which is having continuous cough during night and day since yesterday. Can I give her Eut Perf 200c every 3 hours? I already gave her one dose today morning but I only doubt about the frequency of dosage for kids.

        Waiting for your reply.
        Many Thanks.

        • Joe says:

          Praneema

          Glad to learn that my therapy to treat the current cough with an anti VIRUS remedy worked for you too. As you know I experimented on using Eupat Perf 200 in the Wet dose on myself 2 months ago and I was very surprised that it did. I have now prescribed it to many patients and they all have responded in a manner that is incredible.

          You may give it to your daughter in a dose which you can judge to be half that you used. About 3 ml every 3 hours.

          Give it also to all other inmates of your household as they too will come down with this virus which is the most extraordinary virus I have ever come across in over 40 years of using and prescribing Homeopathy.

          Please note that you will have to continue to take the remedy for at least 24 hours after you are OK as it will return to haunt you with a new infection if you do not.

          • praneema says:

            Thanks Joe for your response. I will start the dosage for my daughter as per your advise and will report the progress to you. She is coughing a lot since one day and her coughing is not stopping by any medicine. I hope Eu Perf 200 will help her too. .I will report the progress for both of us again tomorrow.

  23. praneema says:

    Hi Joe,
    As we discussed yesterday below is the progress report for my daughter and for me:-
    1.Daughter:-
    She has got chest congestion and coughing a lot. It’s a dry cough with no mucus coming out. As per your advise Eut Per 200 gave to her every 3 hours since yesterday and continued today, but there is a minimal improvement in her coughing.She still coughs a lot and can’t sleep because of coughing. Sinarest provides her a bit relief which we give her thrice a day. We will see the doctor today and discuss it further. The doctor here just prescribes amoxy and nothing else. I will let you know again by today. Should I continue giving her Eut Perf 200 every 3 hours still for today?

    2.Myself:-
    My condition has improved by 70%. Thick mucus still comes out through out the day but this time I didn’t cough a single time till now which is a good sign.Since 2 days I am taking Eu Perf every 3 hours What dosage of Eut Perf 200 should I follow from today?

    Please advise about the two cases described above.
    Many Thanks.

    • Joe says:

      Praneema

      Good to know that you are improving which you estimate at 70%.

      I note that your daughter has not shown the same improvement but I am confident that this improvement will follow shortly.

      I would not recommend the Sinarest as it is not designed for a child 3 years old unless there is no other alternative.

      You can try steam which she can inhale thrice daily as this will liquify the phlegm which is not clogging her lungs inside and will help her to heal quicker. You can get a steamer device they use in beauty parlours.

      Continue with the Eupat P 200 in the Wet dose for another day and reduce the dosage to just thrice daily if you feel that you can do without the current dosage.

      • praneema says:

        Hi Joe,
        Today we took my daughter to the doctor as she was coughing a lot and she was diagnosed with pneumonia. They have prescribed anitibiotics for her (amoxycillin for 1 week 3 times a day + sinarest 4 times a day) and we are following it.
        Can we continue giving her Eut Perf also along with allopathic?
        We did give her penumoccol vaccine in her early days but still she caught it. Waiting for her to get well soon, the doctor says it will take 2-3 weeks to fully recover.

        • Joe says:

          Praneema

          I am glad that you consulted your pediatrician who ‘diagnosed’ Pneumonia and prescribed Amoxycillin and Sinarest.

          You may like to know that many physicians mistake the rale or the unusual sound emanating from the lungs as Pneumonia but this is rarely the case in actual practice. The current virus which I too suffered from and caused a “barking cough” is very rare but it has now reached the attention of the WHO and you can read about it on the WHO website under Cough Virus 2013.

          I was interested to learn that you had already given her the Pneumococcal vaccine but this has not helped at all.

          Continue the Eupat Perf 200 as usual and ensure that all who are in your household also take it as this virus is truly incredible and will reinvent itself in some other form like a cold with pouring nose or a fever or other manifestation which will only react to Eupat Perf 200.

          • praneema says:

            Thanks a lot Joe. I knew that the only solution the allopathy will have for treating this virus is Amoxycillin or Sinarest. You are very true that this a very strange virus and has hampered all of us in family in different ways.

            I will continue with Eu Perf 200 along with allopathy for my daughter as of now. Me and my wife will continue with regular Eu Perf 200 dosage as suggested by you.
            I will report progress in a day or two.
            Thanks.

    Hi Joe,
    Around 2 months ago, my 3 years old daughter started to cough a lot during the night. It was a dry cough and there was a bit of wheezing also along with fever. We went to the doctor and they diagnosed pneumonia. Amoxycillin was prescribed after which the cough went away but it took almost 4 weeks for the cough to go away.
    After that she was fine for a week but soon after that she again started to dry cough during the night. This time it was without fever. We went to the doctor and the doctor gave a puff and also told to do X Ray. The X ray was clear and nothing was diagnosed. As of now, she has a bit of relief but sometimes coughs during the night which goes of automatically.We can hear the wheezing still.
    We are a bit worried about this recurrent dry cough which comes and goes. What homeopathic medicine should be given to her?

    Thanks.

    • Joe says:

      childdrycough

      Sheis suffering from the current Flu virus which affects the throat and later the nose.

      You can use Eupatorium Perfoliatum 200
      Bryonia 200

      Both remedies taken in the Wet dose taken twice daily leaving a hour between each.

      The Wet dose of any Homeopathic remedy is made as follows:

      Order the remedy in the Liquid pack in Alcohol, also referred to as Liquid Dilution in a bottle preferably with a dropper arrangement.
      Get a 500ml bottle of Spring Water from the nearest supermarket.
      Pour out about 3cm of water from the bottle to leave some airspace.
      Insert 3 drops of the remedy into the bottle and shake the bottle hard at least 6 times before you sip a capfull of the bottle or a large teaspoonful which is the dose.

    Dr. Joe. I am wondering if it is unwise to take EP 1M for a cold? I have the 1 M liquid dose on hand from having covid previously, so was wondering if I could use that for a cold I have now? Sneezing, stuffy nose and congestion, cough in mornings and evenings…
    If so, how often should I take it?
    Thank you so much for your time and wisdoms

    • Joe says:

      I use the EP 200 potency to treat a cold as I have found the 1M which is 1000c does not seem to be as effective. Suggest you order the 200c potency in Alcohol or even in the pellets if you can’t get it.

      In the meanwhile you can use the 1M in the Wet dose.

      Since you have already contracted the dreaded Virus you are advised to take a dose (5ml) Wet dose twice daily for a few months.

      I shall be interested to know details of how you treated your Covid Virus which I presume was the current deadly Covid Delta.

    Respected Sir,

    I am desperately seeking your help for a 9 year old boy. He has been suffering from intense headache for about 3 weeks now. He wakes up crying with headache. The headache in the morning is intense with the pain in the sides, the top and back of the head. Throughout the day he has the headache but the intensity keeps changing as well as the location of the ache. He also complains of ear ache now and then. The doctors have ruled out any neurological problem. They have put him on an antibiotic but that doesn’t seem to be doing any good.

    I humbly request your help in the matter.

    Thank you very much.
