(as they also support and take lot of responsibilities for their family) -by Dr. Mustafa.” tab_id=”1611733071559-b35d9de0-9599″][vc_column_text]Ans – Yes, in a compensated state, it may look difficult to differentiate these 2 remedies. Causticum and kali carb. As both belong to the same row and kali group itself. But when we reach the more depth of the case and find the core state of the patient, we would find it easy to differentiate. As they both have a completely different state.
Second thing here is also, we should never see only one side or one symptom in the case. It comprises of the whole picture, the totality of symptoms.
Having said that, lets now talk about the difference between both the remedies.
As we already know, in the patient needing causticum there is a feeling of one who takes care of entire group or family. He considers himself to be the strongest member of a group or family and regards a threat to any one member of that group as a threat to himself.
While what we see in kali carb is the main theme of vital fear when person lacks the support of his family and group.
For e.g. in the rubric carried desire to be- you will not find Causticum but only kali carb. Or even in rubric rocking amel- there is no causticum but there is kali carb.
What I want to say here is that, even if in compensated state, superficially kali carb may represent to show support or responsibility towards family. But deeper down there is always a fear of losing that support.
Hence rubric – fear alone being darkness in – there is only kali carb.
The support/responsibility towards his/her family most often comes up due to the feeling of anxiety.
Now this feeling of anxiety is different for kali carb and causticum.
While causticum would feel anxious for if he doesn’t forestall the threat, it will affect the whole group and he will be weakened. His strength lies in the strength of the group.
While kali carb would feel anxious because her entire life revolves around the family or her group. She feels anxious because if something happens to some member of her family, who in turn will look after her. She feels forsaken when she doesn’t get the support she needs.
Hence, even though both the remedies can show support and responsibility towards their family, yet the deep-seated feeling and state is different.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”How it happens that some patients need each member of this triad (Sulph-Calc-Lyc) of different antipsorics one after another, how that happens, what presents, what results, etc?” tab_id=”1611733071588-35c8cf35-a765″][vc_column_text]Ans- Let’s take this as calc-lyc-sulph
Calcarea represents human need for stability and security, which translates into having a house, family, source of income, good health and protection. Other need of human is represented by sulphur and that is the need for a name, for an ego, an image, the need to be somebody important etc.
Now, in order to reach from the position of calcarea to sulphur, one has to concentrate on growing, on making an effort to achieve one’s ambition, on movement undertaking new things rather than sticking to old and stable. Which represents Lycopodium.
Having said that, I would like to add, even though we know about this triad and its pattern, we shouldn’t make ourselves prejudiced with it.
Yes, sometimes there can be a coincidence where after sulphur we prescribe a patient calc and after calc we prescribe the same patient lycopodium.
But, that should never be based on this already existing knowledge of trio.
And as per aphorism 7 suggest, TOTALITY OF SYMPTOMS MUST BE THE SOLE INDICATION, THE SOLE GUIDE IN SELECTION OF THE REMEDY.
Which means, the selection of the remedy or a change in prescription should only be based on the symptoms and the state of the patient.
If the state changes it definitely calls for a change of medicine.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”You have explained to us that the calc carb., and all row 4 places it in superclass 4 for stability, but row 4 is also the row of the laws, of the rules, why not in the 5th? Can you explain this difference?” tab_id=”1611733848185-72a264fb-6d49″][vc_column_text]Ans – Row 4 is the row of stability and security. When we say there are laws and rules. That itself shows there is a need for stability and security here. When we greet someone, small etiquettes like good morning, good evening those are also rules. Before ending a call, we say thank you, take care etc these all comes in certain laws. And that shows familiarity. Hence row 4 belongs to superclass 4 which again has to do with stability and security. Following the traffic rules, these are laws and it shows familiarity. Where there is familiarity there is a sense of stability and security.
While row 5 is different. It means breaking from familiarity. Anything that is routine or familiar is very suffocating to them. It has to do with creativity. And creativity comes when there is stepping out of familiar situations. Hence it belongs to superclass 5 which has to do more with creativity, breaking the familiar.
They need change. They can’t do something which comes in routine. Same time, same office, same work is suffocating for them.
While row 6 is to do with a desperate situation. It is a do or die situation. Hence heavy metals like aur, merc, plat belong to this row. There is a kind of homicidal or suicidal tendency there. Hence is belongs to superclass 6. And to which also reptiles and remedies of solanacea belongs.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”How is the oxygen seen in CaCO3 expressed in calc-c?” tab_id=”1611734152316-47d36fdd-97c3″][vc_column_text]Ans- You can broaden the question. And say how is carbonate in any salt expressed.
So, one could say carbonate i.e. carbon and oxygen can be found in 2nd row
Hence, they both represent birth process or process of becoming independent.
“Can I lead an independent existence?”, that is the question for carbonate
“Can I come out of the mother and be independent?”, which also includes to be able to breathe on your own which is the element of o2
So, when you talk of calcarea carb question is, “can I be free and independent from a person/situation which gives me support and protection?”
So, when you do that you go in ref work and put Air open amel and you limit and study.
You check there in mag carb, calc carb, nat carb, stront carb, baryta carb, kali carb. You will find air open amel in 4marks in all these remedies
So, oxygen element shows in terms of these
“I want to breathe, come out, free but can I do that?”
“Can I separate from my source of security and lead an independent existence?”

Can an eight-year-old boy who has fears such as that something bad will happen (accidents), that robbers will attack him’ that an animal will jump on him be a calc-c, although when going deeper he says that he fears that nobody will remember him, that he will not exist – an existential fear really?
Ans- Difficult to say, I would like to say that they are not exclusive
Both are true
“I don’t exist” is the question of hydrogen
One of the remedies, that can be thought of in this case, is also hydrogen
So, in hydrogen there are fears of accidents, animals, death, dogs, fear of something will happen. There is also a symptom dreams of robbery.
So, the theme of existence is theme of hydrogen. Then if that is where child takes us to, we have to give it importance.
And therefore, we should check if hydrogen has it or not and by the symptoms in the case, it shows it has.
So that should be selected more than calc
Because we have to give value to the deeper experience.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”What is the difference between causticum and carcinosin? by Latha -Bangalore!” tab_id=”1611734374112-9fe8c45c-e828″][vc_column_text]Ans – Though both the remedies are very sympathetic and compassionate. There are still lot of differences between the two remedies.
Causticum on one hand, belongs to sycotic miasm. And there is a lot of Anticipation and anxiety about their loved ones. Whereas, Carcinosin on the other hand, belongs to cancer miasm. And there is a feeling that one’s survival depends upon performing tasks which one feels beyond one’s capacity of performing.
Carcinosinum people often have a history of taking on too much at a young age, having too many expectations placed on them, too strict parental control. They set for themselves high standards or goals that are near impossible to achieve and drive themselves to try and accomplish them.
While, the Causticum person is the one who has to take care of the group or family. They regard a threat to any one member of that group as a threat to themselves.
The main word for Carcinosin patient is, “Perfection”. The need for perfection makes them sensitive to reprimands and fastidious in every sphere of life. But unlike mineral remedies, which merely want order in everything that they do, Carcinosin patients often show an interest towards artistic things like music, dancing and painting.
Likewise, the main two words for Causticum person are, “Cautiously anxious”. As they consider themselves to be the strongest member of the group or family, they are always concerned when there is any problem with any member of that group. They are always on their tenterhooks, always checking where their family members have gone, when they will return, etc.
Hence, though many remedies can be present in many common rubrics, our selection of the remedy should always be on the deeper state on the patient and not merely on the rubrics.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”can you share your experience of successfully treating multiple stubborn warts of long standing on face with causticum.” tab_id=”1611734431242-b2564da5-8eba”][vc_column_text]Ans – I don’t remember such a case. I have seen warts going with causticum but I don’t remember if they were on the face.

is there a suggestion upon use of LM potency if there are not much of other indications to be treated. expected recovery period?
Ans – Lm potency is indicated when there is progressive pathology or patient is on allopathic medicine for constant long term cases like Hypertension, Diabetes, Rheumatoid arthritis.
In other cases when these situations don’t exist single doses of centesimal potency are sufficient.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”How to differentiate Baryta Carb from Calc Carb, especially when areas of responsibilities are not definitely seen in those patients?” tab_id=”1611734523314-a354b9e3-83b5″][vc_column_text]Ans – Though both the remedies are commonly seen in many rubrics, there is a lot of difference in their deeper state.
Talking about calc carb, it comes from the 4th row of mineral kingdom. Where the main issue is with security, stability & protection.
While, when we come to baryta carb, it comes from row 6 of mineral kingdom. Where the main issue is with responsibility. And the feeling of incapacity to take up this responsibility.
Now, coming to the column of mineral kingdom, both these remedies belong to column 2. Where the main feeling is that they begin to feel the presence of structure, but it serves the purpose only as long as conditions are optimal. There is a need of protection, backing and encouragement.
But, now the difference between baryta carb and calc carb here is,
When the situation is non-optimal, calc carb will feel an incapacity to protect oneself and would need an exta protective wall of defence around himself. Which will ensure that he is safe, secured and covered like a developing embryo within an egg.
On the other hand, in such difficult situations, a baryta carb person will feel that there is total incapacity in him. These people are totally irresolute and depend completely on someone else to take decisions for themselves. This can also be seen in the rubric
Mind irresolution, indecisions trifles about – only bar carb and not calc carb.
Also, the main feeling in bar carb is they don’t like to be noticed or
brought into the prominence and this gives rise to their difficulty to
express themselves. This is also due to the fear of being criticized and
being embarrassed. Because the main feeling in baryta carb is of, “I am smaller”, “I am not capable”, “people will laugh at me”, “people will make fun of me”.
While in calc carb, there is feeling of danger from humans, nature and animals. Basically, there is a fear from any outer threat and hence there is a need of protection. It represents like a protective shield in any kind of external threat.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”How to differentiate between Calc ars and calc mur in betrayed, trust and faith?” tab_id=”1611734577284-e999e96d-879f”][vc_column_text]Ans – Before talking about the difference between the salts of calcarea, let us see the state of element arsenic and muriaticum.
In arsenicum there is a feeling: ‘I need people but I cannot trust them – they may rob me’. The patient cannot trust anyone.
He feels he is old, weak, defenceless and that there are thieves around him, ready to take the advantage of his weakness. He needs people and is dependent on them because of his weakness, yet feels they cannot be trusted. However, he cannot do without them and hence is very careful that he should not offend them, lest they leave him and go away.
While in muriaticum which is chlorine, they feel betrayed, hurt and let down by the identity given to them so they want to break free from that and assume a completely opposite identity.
The feeling is: ‘I am opposite of you’
The main feeling in muriaticum is the betrayal of trust. The action of betrayal is
‘I don’t want you’, pushing you away, rejecting you.
So, coming to the calcarea group.
Calc ars has a feeling: “I may be cheated, let down by the people on whom I depend for protection”
On the other hand, in calc mur the feeling is: the person on whom I depended for protection has betrayed me or hurt me and now I not only want to break from the person, but I will assume a completely opposite identity.
Calc ars patient cannot leave that person in spite of being cheated. Because there is a kind of weakness with himself which makes him to be dependent.
While on the other side, calc mur once betrayed, will completely break the relation with that person in spite of being too dependent on him in the past.
Now let’s see some rubric differentiation.
Some rubrics having calc ars and not calc mur | Some rubrics having calc mur and not calc ars. |
---|---|
• Mind, avarice • Mind business incapacity for • Mind cares, worries, full of, money, financial matters, about • Mind, loss, financial, agg. |
• Mind sensitive, oversensitive; others say about her, what • mind; going out; aversion to • mind; forsaken feeling; loved, beloved by his parents, wife, friends, feels is not being • mind; dependent • mind; fear; rejection, of • mind; irritability; children, towards, own |
Hence, what can be also seen from here is that the financial anxiety is more evident in calc ars than in calc mur.
While calc mur more revolves around being felt forsaken by their loved ones. There is always a hidden fear of being rejected by the one on whom they are dependent on.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”I would like to know why the psoric miasm does not appear on the Superclass Table.” tab_id=”1611734778647-581cc0b3-a995″][vc_column_text]Ans – to be very honest I don’t know where to place it.
I am thinking about it. The whole theory is not totally finish
It is work in progress. Whatever I was confident about I included and whatever I was not sure I haven’t. In future wherever I feel it right I will include it.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_accordion][/vc_column][/vc_row]
