PB - Somewhere around here (in this thread, I think) you linked an awesome homeopathic first aid kit by BM. I went to the link and clicked all over that site, but I cannot find a price nor a way of purchasing. Do you know where or how I can do so? Thanks!
eta: here is the link:

Sadly they are all sold out. New ones will be arriving in the states soon-by spring I am told. The price will be in the $300 range. I'm so, so sad about it. This is my favorite kit, and it was a great deal. The price increase had to happen due to the economy but I'm not sure that's going to make it as accessible to most folks. It's still a steal at $300 given that the retail on the set of cell salts is $200 (all of which are in the kit) and in addition you get 49 remedies, a few ointments and tinctures.
I'm seeing prices go up on all alternative healing products. I went to place several orders this week and apparently as of January many companies have had to increase their pricing. Hard on consumers for sure. I know I'm feeling it! I feel lucky that I got in under the wire on a few things (the australian bush flowers being one of them! YIKES on that increase!) But there are still good deals if you know where to look.
I am always willing to help procure things at lower costs when I can. I just want people to be able to experience this stuff. I'm not nearly as interested in turning a profit as I am getting the word out.
Thanks for the scoop! That kit looked awesome and I am bummed it isn't available now. I'll be buying the cell salts somewhere in the next few days. I am about halfway through my cell salt book and all three of us in my family could really use these now.
Do you have a good source for cell salts? We are not lactose-intolerant, so the typical version is fine. In all my searches, I can only find Hylands brand (NuAge is made by Hylands). I know about Luyties from another thread here and I am considering buying one of each of the regular size 12 salts to have an entire set (6X potency). When I did the cost analysis, the travel kit didn't make sense for the quantity. But the travel kit is certainly the cheapest way to experience all 12 right away and have them in a small kit. I just figured the full size is more cost effective long-term and I can create my own "travel kit" as needed with small bottles and my label maker and a zippered toiletry bag.... I could only find the Luyties brand at 1800Homeopathy, though. Is that the best way to go or would you recommend something else?
Thanks!
yes, unless you are dealing with a real pathological issue the ones OTC are fine. Getting a higher grade is helpful if you are dealing with deeper issues. For instance my mother has leukemia, and although she can do dairy, I wouldn't use the OTC cell salts. Same with dh...we are working through chronic issues and he needed high grade salts. Quality can make a difference for certain things, but for general at home usage for colds/flus/teething/fevers it's not necessary.
For at home use they are generally fine though and I'd go luyties. I prefer them over hylands. It will be much less expensive long term to get the 500 tablet bottles, you are correct. 1800homeopathy is a great company to order from.
Thank you very much! I'll be placing an order in the near future. Also, I have general "getting started" questions that I posted in the cell salts thread. If you have a chance, I would greatly appreciate your input. 
anybody in the FL area? workshop opportunity with Robin Murphy!

Oh, I would love to attend! My DH has a business trip to Orlando during that same timeframe. Not sure how or if I can work that out somehow, but I sure would love to attend. I practice qigong and have a strong interest in all the things listed above!!! Thanks for the info! 
Miranda Castro and Robin Murphy both teach quite often in Florida. If you can't do this one, another will come on up! It's more than worth it. If hes' the only homeopath you ever see lecture, it would be worth it. You should see the notebooks I have filled from listening to him. You just want to soak up every. single. word. Even if you could you'd still go back for more.
Do either one ever come up to the new england area? i need to wait a bit, because of babe but i woulf love to go to some lectures.
Robin is in Virginia quite a bit, but that's the closest he *usually* makes it for his lectures. He'll be present at other things-like the NCH conference, but it's not the same thing.
Miranda was in Cambridge last year at Teleosis. I haven't seen her updates recently to know if she's going to be here again, but I'll let you know.
the way I was trained calc carb is a tubercular remedy. it's common practice in many homeopathic circles to use the nosode (tuberculinum in this case) to remove barriers. Not saying that's what's happening, just that I can see a strong correlation there.
PB what do you mean by saying that calc carb is a tubercular remedy? I tried to look that up but wasn't able to find anything.
Tuberculinum worked beautifully for DS, he's not only whining less but is in a very good mood most of the time, he plays alone more, he is more agreeeable, I see BIG changes. He had two bad days this weekend but this was most likely due to candida die off.
DS started caughing last week and I thaught about stramonium for him, tested for it,got a big yes, I ended up giving him antimonium beacuse I don't have stramonium. But for some reason I kept thinking about it and tested for it again today, I'm supposed to give it to DS now,only one dose. After stramonium I'm supposed to give him calc carb 30C.
Is it possible that stramonium will somehow finish tuberculinums job? Is this the reason why DS needs to take it before calc carb?
Could be a couple of things. Could be that he just needs a layer cleared. There are plenty of homeopaths that will say that most kids need stramonium at some point.
People who utilize miasmatic prescribing (looking at genetic inheritance and the way that people interface with the world) will sometimes classify remedies into miasmatic groups. Depending on who you ask there are anywhere from 3-10 miasms. I was trained classically ( so I believe in miasmatic theory) and practically, my most influential teacher on the subject works with 7. 3 dominant miasms that could be combined so ultimately 7. He also classified, based on the curative action of the remedy within the selected group, remedies into dominant miasms. Calc carb was verified as a tubercular remedy. Stramonium is in a different category, but again....acutely, or for short term use, that doesn't matter.
Again, there are lots of ways to practice homeopathic medicine so this is one perspective.
in miasmic theory is cal carb in a different group than arnica? thinking of DS2
in miasmic theory is cal carb in a different group than arnica? thinking of DS2
i think so. PB, correct me if i'm mistaken...
arnica -> rhus -> ruta (or is it ruta then rhus?)
calc carb -> puls -> sil (just one way of grouping)
gah - my mentor scribbles these progressions right in case notes when we're chatting, so then i have to think HARD to get it into my notes. often it doesn't make it to my notebook.
Firewithin...yes. Arnica is red (circular or sycotic) and calc carb is green (inward/outward or tubercular.)
Bluets, yes, those are typical, classical progressions. We have learned those from the old masters. However the miasms can get mixed. For instance, in my training, calc is dominantly tubercular, pulsatilla is psoric and silica is cancer miasm. So that progression can be used by people who are using more of a layer approach. I have had training in different theories, but the one that makes sense to me (and is therefore reflected in the way I practice) is that people don't change miasms. They can change remedies within miasms, or require remedies in acute situations that are not within their dominant miasm (since everyone has a bit of each in them) but they won't start out syphilitic and later become sycotic if that makes sense.
Again, many different takes on it, but after studying several different perspectives, that's the one I'm aligned with.
Today I gave DS stramonium 30C and I have tested for calc carb again. I'm supposed to give him calc carb 50M. I'm a little scared to do it on my own.
I guess I could start with 200C and give him 1M few days later and so on until I get to 50M to avoid aggravations.
I'll retest few more times to make sure this is right.
I am new to this thread but currently using homeopathy and understand you need to match physicals, mentals, totality of symptoms, but wondering if there is a remedy that might be appropriate for the dominant feeling of frustration, rage, panic, and despair, or feeling trapped/powerless because others in power have an incorrect perception that there is nothing wrong when actually there is and they won't listen to you (not a delusion). This is specifically related to my daughter's health and trying to get help for her. It relates to the Cassandra Effect sometimes experienced by neurotypical partners of a person with Aspergers Syndrome.

Welcome, and I'm so sorry. I'd probably look to flowers first as they can be prescribed on mentals/emotionals alone. There are plenty of remedies that would match this feeling, but my first reaction is to go with flowers.
Since I'll be giving DS high potency calc carb I would like to use good quality remedies, I remember that somehwere in the thread PB mentioned sorayal.
Elizabeth, do you have good quality calc carb 1M, 10M and 50M in the office? If not, where would you recommend I order them?
I will check when I'm back in. I know I have 1M and 10M...but I don't think I have 50M. That's higher than I've needed.
For these I'd probably go through Helios. Did you also test 6 or 8x?
