Roger Morrison takes a case - Epilepsy

Epilepsy 

 Case 

 Vassilis Ghegas once told me that in a case of epilepsy, he would prefer to find a neurological remedy (such as Stramonium, Agaricus, etc.) indicated rather than a polycrest remedy. He felt that the likelihood of cure was better when such remedies were indicated. While I have seen Calcarea Carbonica cure many cases of convulsive disorder, there is something to what he said. Stramonium perfectly matches the deep disturbance of the psyche caused by a violent episode such as rape. It is therefor not surprising to see a rapid response to the remedy. What was remarkable about this case was that three different mania type remedies were required in series. The central nervous system had been affected deeply in the child and only through such a sequence of remedies could cure be effected. The patient is now in his sixth year under my care and is steadily progressing.
