Never Been Well Since

I have written about Never Been Well Since, NBWS, in a previous blogpost. I wanted to write more about it. Never Been Well Since – NBWS – means someone has not been well since a certain happening, illness or event occurred in their life.

When I meet with a patient, and am taking their case, hearing and witnessing them, I will ask when did these symptoms start? When did this start to bother you? What was going on in your life at the time or right before this started? When the patient is a child, I also will ask the mother about her pregnancy, and what was going on before and right around the time she conceived. I will also find out about the father at the time of conception.

NEVER BEEN WELL SINCE – NBWS

These are some of the “sinces”:

• an emotional loss, of a person, a job, a business, a home
• an emotional experience in which someone felt extreme fear, anger, or any other feeling
• a traumatic occurrence or situation such as an accident, a fall, being in an earthquake, a hurricane, a war, a rape
• an abusive situation
• receiving certain medications, the pill and vaccines
• having a surgery or other procedure
• having illness (acute or long term) such as the flu, cancer, mono, coronavirus and others
• family medical history – tendencies and susceptibilities are passed down from one generation to another

A patient comes in for homeopathic care. Something in particular is bothering them. A homeopathic remedy is given to address this. Sometimes, this is the only homeopathic remedy needed, and sometimes a series is needed, using one at a time, or using  intercurrently with other homeopathic remedies, to help with the healing. A timeline is established of the patient’s life made up of events, losses, illnesses, uses of medications, the patient’s own and their family’s medical history. All of this may show that other homeopathic remedies may be needed. It is getting a deeper and wider view of the patient, and addressing the wholeness of the patient.

HOMEOPATHY TO HEAL

These are some of the health issues that have brought people in for homeopathic care:

• flare ups of particular symptoms such as a rash, a cough, digestive issues, headaches, menstrual issues, flus
• lingering emotions such as angry, grief, sadness, fear, guilt, blame, shame
• an acute situation – UTI, colds, rash, cough, falls, flus
• fears and anxieties
• just not feeling well
• sleep issues
• painful joints, difficulty moving

Taking Everything Into Consideration – Seeing The Totality Of The Person

Many people come in for homeopathic care for a chronic health issue, that they may have been experiencing for awhile. When I meet with a patient I am finding out how they experience what is bothering them.

Sometimes, this may take several appointments. Each appointment gives more information towards getting the totality picture of the person. To have as complete a picture of the person, helps to come to the homeopathic remedy that is most similar to the patient.

Taking Everything Into Consideration

All of what I have listed here, and maybe more, makes up the totality of the person.

• What is bothering them? Why have they come for homeopathic care?
• How do they experience what bothers them? Pain, discomfort, side of body, what makes it worse or better, other symptoms with it. The sensation of what bothers them. Why is this a problem?
• When did it start? What was going in their life when it started? A trauma, a loss of job, loss of a relationship or loved one, a physical move, diet change, medications taken, a particular medical condition?
• An unusual symptom or how someone experiences a symptoms uniquely to them. It is called strange, rare and peculiar (SRP)
• Emotional  state
• Mental state                                                        
• Dreams
• Fears
• Childhood – events, illnesses
• Trauma – illnesses, loss of loved one, loss of home, accident, loss of job, accident, natural disasters
• Interests
• Medical history
• Family medical history –  susceptibility to health concerns are passed down from one generation to another. Susceptibility means a tendency to experience/develop certain symptoms or illnesses.
• Medications taken over lifetime, especially if they were ongoing. The person may have noticed changes/symptoms when starting the medications, or later on. Medications like: antibiotics, vaccines, for fertility treatments, birth control pills.
• Use of a substance for a long period of time, which has been toxic, such as chewing tobacco, smoking, drinking alcohol, and use of cell phone, especially with children. Symptoms or ill health developed after this. I have read cases about symptoms and ill health developing with overuse of what I have listed here.

Seeing The Totality Of The Person

It is seeing the totality. Finding out as much as possible about the patient. Seeing what may have brought them to this state of ill health. With this understanding and knowledge of their totality, a homeopathic remedy is given. As the healing process moves forward, this first homeopathic remedy may be repeated, a higher potency/strength of the remedy may be given, or another homeopathic remedy will be given. It is a process. Each homeopathic remedy helps us to move forward to the next, and is chosen based on the similarity to what the person is experiencing at that time. The Law of Similars or Like Cures Like is the main principle of homeopathy. The given homeopathic remedies stimulate the person’s own healing abilities, bringing the person back to a more healthful state of being.

• fears/phobias
