overnight, with diarrhea and lots of blood. The year before, she cared for her mother who was terminal and passed away. That period she had high blood pressure and then came this “explosion. She was given
prednisone from which she gained 20 kg and diabetes. Other medications gave her nerve pains and
breakdown symptoms. MTX gives severe fatigue, she was shivering on the couch and it gave little
improvement. She still has a lot of cramps, a lot of mucus, always diarrhea, she feels the energy drain, and
she can only go outside with immodium. The pain is there day and night, she sleeps badly because of it.
Before, she was never sick, and suddenly it started, on a Monday. Two years later she got reflux, the stomach lining was inflamed and she had a diaphragm rupture. She always gets all the side effects of a medication, when the liver values go up she feels very tired. The tongue is dark red, raw, with grooves, she can hardly
stick out the tongue (the tongue reflects the condition of the mucous membranes). Years ago she developed rheumatism, severe pain in knee’s, ankles, and wrists, she could no longer climb stairs. There are periods with fewer symptoms. She has had many pneumonia's, resulting in COPD, and is now on medication. She has had an intolerance to vegetable fiber since infancy and lived on Brinta (Breakfast Instant Tarwe). From beans and vegetable juices, she spits up and has extra diarrhea. Onions she is bothered extremely by those.

She tells, explains, and can talk contemplatively about the disease and treatments: the period when Crohn'
started she was perfectly happy. Radiantly, she talks about her work, which she was able to do until recently.
She was an assistant, great for making sure the leadership could do the job well, arranging something
together, figuring out all kinds of things. Throughout all the complaints and surgeries, she just worked.

medication, being able to be above oneself.
Series 5: in her work she is intermediate, she is creative.
Clade 5: the common thread among the complaints is “mucous membranes,” fitting the Malvidae
With this, we have clues to start looking within Classe 65.
Phase 5: she is enthusiastic, the complaint was an 'explosion'. The overlap in the complaints ENT, lungs and bowel is 'mucous membrane'
Phase 1: complaints are bursting out, sudden, idealism.
Stage 11: steatoma, persistence, protection, she wants to ‘hold on’.
Medicine was spotlighted by the rubric “vegetables aggravate,” when perusing this rubric, using a symptom she has had all her life and may be characteristic. Going through a rubric from the Repertory, with the above Series and Phases as an option, as a possible interpretation of the case, a drug may stand out. This pointed together to Veronastricum, placed at 3-655.51.11. Known to bleed from the intestine.
In Q-search, this drug also comes up, the search term “vegetables” with filters Class 65 and Phase 5. Here
Leptendra is listed under the synonym Veronicastrum virginicus.
Prescription: Veronastricum virginica MK.Follow up three weeks, 'I am happy, the first day I had a weird tummy, and it took me a while to know what it was, but after that the weird cramps were gone, immediately’. From the second day, she didn't use immodium, on the third day she had solid stools! Then it was variable for a week, with also the same pain.
From the third week, everything is good with no symptoms, it hasn't been like that for years. She sleeps
deeper, not longer. The bloodsugar is more stable now, she uses only half the insulin. She has many creative ideas and plans. Occasional light cramping still occurs at night. Joints and airway unchanged. She still smokes heavily, once she tried to quit but became cranky and had a Crohn's flare-up. Blood values also show that everything is progressing. After two months things are still going well, the bowels sometimes produce some mucus but after a day it is then over. Bloodsugar levels remain stable. She has had no colds all winter, sometimes some sneezing. She no longer needs an afternoon nap, she sleeps 7 hours straight at night. She can't go without a stomach tablet yet. Her tongue is dark, with a groove in the middle. The knee remains troublesome, she still sometimes sags through it. After four months she has been troubled by the right shoulder, bursitis, for a few weeks, and more trouble with osteoarthritis in the hands. 2-3 times a week she sags through a knee, but she never falls. Left more than right. The abdominal pain continues to subside, and very occasionally she still has diarrhea. She no longer has stomach problems. Occasionally she tries something like garlic or onion, which she can now tolerate. Sleeping is getting better and better. For the last few weeks she needs immodium once a week, it then starts with waking up a few times with diarrhea. From the phenomenon of “focal infection,” we know that one inflammation takes the other with it, and activates it.
The starting point was the that intestine was still good, but the acting up joints (due to season, wearing or by stressing them more, because her energy has increased), a medicine aimed at the joint complaint was chosen.
Prescription: Galphimia glauca C200. After this, the bowels calmed down, the hands improved, and the joints were completely over after a weekend of worse pain. The following year she continued to do well.
