GRAVES DISEASE TREATEDWITH CLASSICAL HOMEOPATHY

Abstract

This is a clincal report of Graves disease treatment. Case repertorization was according to classical homeopathic principles using mental, general and particular symptoms – including symptoms just prior to, during and after the onset of the illness. Some long term “constitutional” symptoms were also considered. Symptom onset occurred in relation to the loss of a relative. NatrumMuriaticum 200C provided immediate but short term symptomatic relief. Through the initial three months of treatment, appropriate potencies were empirically evaluated and thyroid function improved. Free T4 dropped from three times the upper limit of normal to the high normal range, and excess gland reduced. Over the course of a year MM potency was most frequently used. The patient is now using a novel, specially prepared potency. Remedy doses are lasting from two to three days rather than previous periods of 8 to 12 hours.
