ADD

[Guest guest]

Hi Gina...

 

When someone asks what do I do for " x " issue- my immediate thought

is, " what do we really mean when we use terms like that " . We have

been conditioned to give a blank, general label when refering to

syptoms but not take any of our uniqueness, our individuality-

anything that makes our experience real- into consideration in lieu

of using a term that does not fully reflect what we are actually

going through.

 

For example- if someone tells us they have a headache- we seem to

think that automatically we know what that means. But the reality

of the situation is that if we were all to have headches- we would

all have different experiences of headaches. For some the pain

might be in the forehead, others behind the eyes, some in the

temples, some right on top of the head, some in the back of the

head, some even in the neck, some half of the head, right or left,

front or back, while others might have pain that streaks through

several locations... And different locations mean different type of

things are going on. Then there can be other unique symptoms going

on with the headache- noise, light, sound sensitivity, some might

want to sleep- some might not be able to sleep, some people might be

angry, others might be weepy, some might want company to comfort

them, some might want to be alone. Some headaches might come with

the menstrual cycle, some might have digestive complaints along with

them- but some might actually be better by eating. For some the

pain might be achy, others it might be stabbing, crushing, pounding,

or like a knife, etc. Some might be better with fresh air, others

might be worse wearing a hat, or even by using a band in the hair...

 

But we say all of these people- that are experiencing very different

types of experiences- all have a " headache " . It just doesn't do it

justice to lump things together under a label that doesn't really

give that much info.

 

So instead of just saying she has ADD, can you describe in gory

detail what exactly is she experiencing and going through. What

makes it better, what makes it worse. Does it have a time element?

What are her emotions like? Are there physical symptoms? How long

has she been on med's? Because now we have to take into account the

mask or illusion the drugs have added ontop of the reality of what

she experienced first and foremost that led to that path.

 

Once we have symptoms that are truly unique to her, we can look them

up in homeopathic literature and find the remedies that correspond.

From that exercise we will find a constellation of remedies and you

can decide which remedies you feel are most appropriate- the best

match- and when the remedies are taken it will help to bring the

mind/body/emotions back into a healhier balance. Imagine a car that

has a tire that is out of alignment and your driving 90 miles an

hour down the road- the car is going to shake. But once you bring

the tire back into balalnce, the syptom of the car shaking will

automatically resolve.

 

Hope that helps...
