Remedy code: 3-644.53.09
A 63-year-old woman of Asian descent. She has type I diabetes. After starting insulin, she developed skin problems; the skin on her hands, forearms, and legs became damaged. She therefore switched to metformin, and her skin was calm for a few months, but then everything came back, and now she has had damaged hands for a year. The palms and backs of her hands, worse on the left, are red, warm, peeling, itchy, and painful due to the cuts that appear. The sun makes it much worse. It started in her fingertips and is still spreading. All tests at the allergist were negative. It may be related to the cleaning products she uses for her job as a cleaner. Twelve years ago, she had breast cancer and underwent chemotherapy and radiation. Ten years ago, she had a hysterectomy and ovariectomy due to fibroid s and bleeding. Since then, she has often had bladder infections, with pain and blood in her urine. She takes medication immediately when this happens. Four years ago, she developed diabetes. She was prescribed statins for high cholesterol; since then, she has suffered from dizziness. She sleeps very little, at most 5 hours. She divorced 10 years ago but has now ‘gotten over it’. She often has mouth ulcers, red spots, and cracks halfway across her tongue. Her hobbies are line dancing and traveling: always to a new country, seeing new cultures, etc. She tires easily, and if she does not rest, she catches a cold, with throat problems and mouth ulcers. She is practical and stable, has always had to work since her divorce, and kept her husband's name for convenience, as it was easier when looking for work. After
Gossypium herbaceum, she has less itching but more throat problems.
AnalysisIron series: she is practical and stable, and her life revolves around work.
Fabales: continuing as the only option, fatigue, tackling things, she wants to do fun things.
Phase 5: wanting more, wanting to get out, travel.
Phase 3: dizziness.
This analysis is based on plant families.
Copaifera officinalis is listed in the repertory for both itching and blood in the urine, which is reason to consider the
Fabaceae as family: she is a practical woman, just carry on.
Fabaceae is possible, fatigue as an important concomitant, sugar-pancreas, a practical person, she is calm, stable, and wants to do fun things.
Copaifera officinalis refers to the
Fabaceae and
Fabales, but the stage is not right. I have seen
Abrus precatorius before in cases of blood sugar problems.
Now 10 years later, Q-search is helpful, ‘diabetes’ with restriction Iron series4 and
Phase 5(3) gives the option Abrus.
Prescription:
Abrus precatorius MK.
Follow-upAfter three weeks, the complaint has virtually disappeared, except for finger 2: 1st phalanx, and finger 3: 3rd phalanx. The improvement came quickly; it had also started with the ring finger. The flaking on the ankle is gone, and the itching has now stopped. Energy: she still needs to take it easy.
Dreams: about parents (who have been dead for a long time), sometimes about childhood. She is concerned about the medication, metformin, because of her kidneys. After two months, all complaints are gone, and the following year she is well.
