Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome back to Homeopathy at Home with Melissa.
Hey, Melissa.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Hey Brie, I'm super excited for Materia Medica.
Monday.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
Yeah, it's been a while.
So today we're going to cover agroup of remedies.
So before we get to that, Iwould like to read a testimony.
Somebody left about the podcast, so this one is from Treasure
Chris.
She said this podcast is ananswer to my prayers.
Thank you, melissa, for puttingthis wealth of information out
(00:30):
here.
You are spreading joy and hopein so many ways and it's our
faith that really cementedhomeopathy as a wonderful answer
for me and my family.
I'm just starting and my kidsare grown, but the plan is just
like the gospel, to live it outday by day and offer to help
whenever it's needed.
You are a blessing.
Thank you again.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Oh, thank you so much , treasure, chris.
I really, really love that.
It's so encouraging, right,bree, when we know, when we find
out, when we are able to readthat we are actually helping
people and they're being blessed.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Yeah, because we just sit here and record in our
house, have our conversation.
It's so funny to me to hear itgo out into the world, or people
tell me that they've listenedto it.
Yeah, it is really encouraging,it's really cool.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Very cool.
Thank you so much for fortaking time to type that up.
Very cool.
Thank you so much for takingtime to type that up.
And that was a recent one, youknow, just very recent.
So thank you for that.
Also.
Before we jump into our group ofremedies, which is very
interesting, if you haven'talready noticed by the title of
this podcast, I want to answer afan mail question.
(01:46):
So when you listen to thispodcast on Buzzsprout so on my
Buzzsprout um, on that thatplatform, then you can you can
type in a question, um, throughthe fan mail.
There's a link in thedescription of the podcast on
Buzzsprout and so you can typethat in and I'll answer it.
(02:08):
So let me.
I want to.
I want to answer this onequestion that was from there.
Um, it's from Front RoyalVirginia and the question is I
was listening to your amazingpodcast and you kept referring
to a pregnancy protocol thatwomen take during their entire
pregnancy.
Can you point me to the rightplace to a pregnancy protocol
that women take during theirentire pregnancy?
Can you point me to the rightplace to find information on
(02:28):
that protocol?
My husband and I are gettingready to try for baby number two
and I would love to usehomeopathy for this pregnancy.
Thanks for all you do.
So we used to follow a reallyspecific pregnancy protocol.
A lot of homeopaths follow areally specific.
(02:50):
You know, on this month youtake this cell salt, this month
you take this cell salt and umor these couple of cell salts,
and what I found is that it canbe tedious, it can be hard to
follow, especially um, you know,if you're, if you've got other
children and you're busy andyou're a wife and a mom and you
(03:11):
know all the things that we do.
So we decided to make it reallysimple.
But also it was confirmedthrough another homeopath that I
value and I trust and so onceshe kind of and she does a lot
with women, so once she kind ofconfirmed that's what she's been
doing too, then I decided justto change.
(03:33):
So bioplasma or the 12 cellsalt combo, take that now
because it sounds like you aregetting ready to try for baby
number two.
Go ahead and start it now twiceper day and take it through.
What do you think, brie, sixweeks after.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Yeah, yeah, I would say, and, depending on how you
feel, I took it for a long timeafter my third because I was
really tired and a reallystressful period of time.
So yeah, but at least I wouldsay I would agree six weeks.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Okay so so just take the 12 cell salts in combination
makes makes life easy, ratherthan trying to do certain cell
salts you have to buy themindividually.
Then you're buying 12 differentbottles of remedy and keeping
up with which one is when tostart.
Yeah, it was very complicated.
I mean it wasn't verycomplicated, but it was more
(04:27):
complicated than just take thecombo.
You're good, it works.
So, thanks for the question.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Um, what'd you say to throw this in there?
I know you say this in umclasses and things, that if you
have any other things going onif you have in your first
pregnancy you had problems.
If you have hormone thingsgoing on if you have in your
first pregnancy you had problemsif you have hormone things
going on, you also likely need apersonalized chronic plan that
could help change a lot of thissecond pregnancy.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Absolutely.
Oh, I'm so glad you reminded meof that.
That is absolutely true.
But also, even if it's justyour first baby, if you're right
now pregnant or or if you'replanning to get pregnant soon, I
want to encourage you to go tomy website, melissa Crenshaw dot
com.
Make appointment tab Right,brie.
(05:17):
I think they can just scrolldown and see what is it called.
Is it called pregnancy, labordelivery, pregnancy or labor and
delivery?
You, you'll see the appointment.
Anybody can make it.
You don't have to.
You know you don't have to tobe.
You don't have to do the free15 minute phone call.
Skip that.
(05:37):
You go straight in If you arepregnant or planning to get
pregnant and you can schedulethat appointment so that we can
help you through now.
Um, uh, what did you?
What do you see there?
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Yep Pregnancy, labor and delivery planning Awesome,
yep, yep.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Do that and, um, you're going to find, do you
want to do you want to speak tothat?
I know I'm putting you on thisspot, but do you want to speak
to the two different optionsthat you have, or do you just
want to talk to each individual?
Okay, good, Do it?
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Yeah, so, um, we recently started this where we
do, obviously, homeopathicconsults, so these are chronic.
No matter what you choose, youwill get a remedy care plan.
Recently, I've started theoption of a coaching combo where
we do homeopathic remedies butalso some coaching.
(06:33):
So that's just something I'mreally passionate about.
I put a lot of time, years ofresearch into and my heart
behind those is really just toeducate moms and families to
take responsibility, haveautonomy and whatever kind of
prenatal care, birth, postpartumexperience you want.
(06:56):
There are a lot of options, lotsof, especially in America.
There are options, but youdon't always know.
I would not have known whatquestions to ask going in until
I have some negative experiencesand then I want to avoid them.
So really, my goal is tothere's lots of options.
No one is always better thanthe other, but if you know what
(07:17):
to ask, know what to expect, youcan I mean, advocate for
yourself and go and educated,empowered.
I mean advocate for yourselfand go in educated, empowered
and have your best shot, in myopinion, and get the best kind
of care.
So that's an option.
I love it so much.
I'm going to do one tonight.
I'm really excited.
So if you would like thatoption.
(07:37):
That's something we'll talkabout when you schedule that
consult.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Love it, I love it.
So you just schedule it andthen you can talk about it and
you can decide.
You know what that will looklike for you.
Love it.
I love it so much, so, reallypersonalized and um so.
So, as tonight we are inMateria Medica, monday, we're
going to go from beautifulblessings to beautiful birth,
and we're going to now talkabout spiders.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
What an entry to these remedies.
Well, let's.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
we just set you up to be beautiful and calm, and now
we're going to listen.
If you're afraid of spiders,you need to hear about this.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
It's true.
Ironically, you probably coulduse one of these.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Yeah, yeah, the spider remedies are really, um,
really awesome remedies.
And so, you know, did we do thesnakes before?
Have we done the snake?
No, we did the milks.
We did the milks, yeah.
So we need, we're going to dothe snakes at some point, you
know, and just the group, thesegroups of remedies are really
(08:40):
awesome.
So, um, the tarantula.
Tarantula is pretty much thetemplate for the spider remedies
in general, so kind of likelachesis is the template, so to
speak, for the snake remedies.
It's like the, the main one.
(09:00):
Tarantula is the template forthe spider remedies and so all
of the spiders will always havea slight connection to the
tarantula Hispanica picture.
So the animal kingdom remedythemes are survival, competition
(09:21):
, aggression, aggressor versusvictim, predator and prey right
this makes sense in the animalkingdom Dominance and its
opposite, the persecutor and thepersecuted.
Sexuality, powerful, aggressive, forceful.
You know how animals behave,and I'm just really thinking of
(09:44):
a funny chicken story that I'mjust not going to tell right now
, I'm going to stay on task.
So, individuality, so those arethe are the common themes of
the animal kingdom remedies, andsome other characteristics of
spider remedies in general arethe tendency to be cold, even
(10:04):
though they're hyperactive,chilly.
They're very chilly remediesand strong relationship to
vibration, music, rhythm, noisethey love all of that stuff.
Distortion of time, tend to besolitary creatures.
They can be restless, active,aggressive and tend also to be
solitary creatures.
They can be restless, active,aggressive and tend also to be
(10:26):
solitary.
So an interesting modality ofthe spider remedies in general
is not just craving but betterfor cigarettes and tobacco.
So right now, on the heels ofmy whole addictions I guess
(10:46):
campaign is what you could callit I did a couple of weeks of
addictions themed reels on mysocial media and so these
remedies can kind of speak tothat.
So it's not, it's not just,it's very odd not just a craving
for, but actually better forcigarettes and tobacco.
(11:07):
It calms them down and theyfeel better.
Well, of course it calms themdown, they feel better.
That's why they become addictedto it.
So not just that they, theycrave it, but the modality is
that they're, they're actuallybetter for it.
And so all the spiders to acertain extent have got
neurological symptoms, brain,spine, nervous symptoms, system
(11:31):
sorry, and especially thetarantula hispanica picture.
So there can be jerking,twitching, nervous spasms,
constant motion, and they loveto smoke.
So that's the generality of thespiders.
So tarantula in you knowspecifically it's the Cuban
spider and they don't have itdoesn't have many symptoms.
(11:57):
But what we do have is a veryinteresting and clear picture
and it's actuallyunderrepresented in homeopathy,
in the world of homeopathy.
So there's not a single mentalsymptom of this remedy in Kent's
(12:18):
repertory and it's not verywell proven.
But certain characteristics ofthe spider tendency with the
added factor of pyrogenium, soabscesses, boils, carbuncles,
agonizing pains, septicemia,septic states in general, agony,
that goes along with that.
So it's kind of like hepersulfwith the pain and the agony and
(12:42):
the septicemia.
Along with arsenicum album itis one of those remedies that is
considered to be the remedywhere the person is just at the
point of death and they're inagony.
So that septic state, poisonousstate, necrotic, facing death,
with all the horror, fear,restlessness and the septic
(13:03):
state that goes along with allof that.
This is one of our greatnear-death remedies.
Tarantula All of the generalcharacteristics of spider
remedies would be there, likeall the necrotic dying death of
pyrogenium as well.
(13:24):
So pyrogenium is a little morepassive in the sense that it
doesn't have the spider elementthere.
So it doesn't have quitetendency of the tarantula
cubensis.
Tarantula is with anotherremedy would probably.
(13:51):
Let's see, the nearestequivalent to tarantula is
arsenicum album.
So it's got the anxiety, fear,pain, suffering, near death and
possibly something likehepersulf for the actual septic
state, pus, rotting, necrotic,gangrenous state.
So you can kind of see, youknow, because most people know
arsenicum album, a lot of peopleknow pyrogenium, and so when
(14:14):
you look at and hepersulf, sowhen you look at those remedies,
that's kind of like whattarantula can look like.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Okay, so can I clarify if I'm understanding
correctly?
Okay, you know, as I do from anoutside perspective, you know
these remedies better than I do.
Um, it sounds like so.
Pyrogenium has the rotting,that kind of gross stuff like um
necrosis, that kind of grossstuff like um necrosis,
(14:47):
literally sometimes your flesh,but internally dying infection.
But arsenicum has the, thatanxiety, restlessness, the fear.
So those pictures kind oftogether would be maybe when you
would consider if you have bothelements, like somebody who's
really, really sick, like aheparsulfur pyrogenium infection
, the restlessness I like that.
(15:09):
Some people peaceful like theirbodies aren't?
I mean, they're maybe dying,and maybe an elderly person who
has some fear but doesn't haveanything serious going on
physically Wouldn't think one ofthese remedies Is that.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Right, right so there's the fear of dying.
You're dying and you're afraidand you've got some anxiety with
it.
Then arsenicum album If there'ssome necrotic sepsis.
So pyrogenium is great forsepsis and gangrene and so you
(15:48):
could just use pyrogenium.
But I think what the MateriaMedica says is that pyrot, that
tarantula, is worse with thenecrotic state, the septic state
, and that it's a lot like.
So it's worse than pyrogeniumand it's a lot like arsenicum
(16:09):
album and hepersulf.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Okay, okay, yeah, thank you.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
You're welcome, thank you.
So this tarantula is number onefor easing through the death
process, but arsenicum album ishigh up there too.
So I would actually sayarsenicum album is number one,
and then tarantula would be veryclose second, if it fits.
So going through the deathprocess as painlessly, as
(16:37):
anxiety free as possible, withas much dignity and
self-awareness as you possiblycan, palliatively, it's going to
be great, you know, at the endof in death and and then there
may be a syphilitic component asa possibility.
(16:59):
But spider remedies tend to betubercular in nature.
So the next remedy.
So this is tarantula cubensis.
So let's see, let me this isCuban tarantula right, not
Hispanic.
(17:20):
So I did say Hispanic earlierand that's two different.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Huh yeah, there are two different ones in Materia
Medica, but you said it right.
The Hispanic is that almostlike the umbrella remedy.
It sounds like of the spiders,where most of them maybe not
umbrella is not the right term,but they most.
Most of the other ones connectsomewhat to the Hispanic picture
.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Okay, yes, and then what we?
What I just described?
The keynotes I just wentthrough are for Cubensis.
Okay, okay, all right, do thenext one.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
And I think I'm pronouncing this right, you guys
.
Theridian Yep, it's a littleorange spider.
I have not ever heard of thisremedy, so this is why I love
these.
This is fun.
The major keynotes for theridianare incredible sensitivity to
noise, so very deeply, noisethat has felt almost in the
(18:13):
teeth and the bones and thenervous system.
Everything is intensely on edgeas a result of that sensitivity
to noise, almost like thenervous system is in a constant
state of excitement.
There are other remediessimilar, like coffea asarum, I
(18:33):
think nuxvomica, thathypersensitivity to noise, but
this is very extreme, literallylike the noise goes into the
nerves, into the teeth, into thebones, which might cause
clenching of the jaw, veryintense.
So the noise and agitation ofthe world going on around them
(18:57):
all the time, even subliminallysometimes it pushes them into
that state of maybe a nervousdestructive breakdown.
So this may affect your balance.
In our ear it could create avertigo.
That's very extreme.
It is George Vltuk Vytulka.
(19:21):
He has, he has a materia medicaright.
Um, he made a connection aftera number of years of this type
of agitation.
Sorry, going backwards a littlebit to that.
That noise, that destructivepicture, um, it's similar to an
alzheimer's state.
It's not immediately like that,but that destructive process to
the central nervous system canlook like Alzheimer's is what he
(19:47):
said.
So sorry, I'm going to jumpback to now the inner ear stuff.
It can affect the balance,inner ear vertigo.
So you might see dizziness, adizzy vertigo state.
They might even be almosthysterical, but quiet, agitated
(20:07):
because there's a constantunderlying irritation of the
nervous system.
Might be very dissociated.
You might have tinnitusMeniere's disease, might have
tinnitus Meniere's disease.
Theridion has a nasty catarrhalpicture, so thick, yellow,
(20:35):
offensive catarrh, chronic nasalcatarrh.
It may follow or be similar tothe cocculus picture with that
inner ear problem.
The imbalance, vertigo,dizziness, seasickness, a good
travel remedy, those are allcalculus keynotes.
But this can, maybe it canmimic some of those things.
It can be related to that thisremedy.
So theridine could developwhere somebody has been under
(20:58):
the same stress that thecalculus person is under, so
like night watching, caring forsomebody through the night,
really just that constant taxingof the nervous system, somebody
that is pushed to their limit,to a breaking point, until
they're so tired, so dizzy, withthe extreme racket noise, that
(21:21):
agitation that it drives them todespair.
So that's what they mean by itcan look like calculus in that
way where you have the nightwatching that exhaustion, where
you're pushed to despair.
So vertigo is a big picture.
A big part of Theridian is abig picture, a big part of
(21:51):
theridium.
So vertigo, with that sound,noise, agitation, it is part of
the tubercular miasm.
So there's a lot of restlessdiscontentment.
They're constantly moving fromplace to place, constantly on
the go, can't sit still.
That's also that spider picture.
Constantly on the go, can't sitstill, that's also that spider
picture.
This could be a good remedy forRitalin pictures.
So ADHD, which I have seen alot in the other spider remedies
too, is ADHD, that agitated,restless child or adult.
(22:19):
This remedy is different fromtarantula.
Tarantula I said that so weirdand that it doesn't have quite
the strength and power.
That tarantula has, not thatsame sensitivity or, I'm sorry,
the same energy, but itssensitivity to noise is a very
(22:39):
negative sensitivity wheretarantula is sensitive to the
sound and vibration, to music,but in a positive way.
So that was interesting.
I reading over that they turntarantula.
I keep saying that differentlyevery single time and the
Materia Medica is spelledtarantula, but sometimes I see
tarantula, either one.
(23:00):
Yeah, they like to dance, theylike the music where the Ridian
is irritated and agitated bythat noise.
Music.
Where the Ritian is irritatedand agitated by that noise.
Um, this can be good fornecrosis of the teeth, of the
bones.
Um, maybe somebody who'sprematurely aged.
That noise bothers them so muchthat they are just, um, they
(23:22):
have a hard time makingdecisions about anything.
They're very frazzled.
They completely lackself-confidence.
All those typically aggressive,forceful, animalistic spider
qualities are mostly deficientnow because they are so frazzled
(23:43):
by the noise.
So you keep hearing me say thatthe noise agitation is huge for
this picture.
They'll completely lose theirlibido where the other remedies
spider remedies don't have that.
That's different.
They still have thatrestlessness, agitation of the
(24:04):
other spider remedies.
But it's really the big thingis noise.
They may crave oranges andbananas.
Time feels like it goes reallyfast.
It's a great migraine remedy,can be good for puberty,
pregnancy and menopause.
They may have an incrediblysensitive spine.
(24:24):
It's good for sunstroke withincredible agitation, can be
good for cardiac pains andangina, which the Black Widow
Spider remedy can also be goodfor.
It can be used forhallucinations, for sight and
(24:45):
hearing, where they arehallucinating either of those
things and tends to be moreleft-sided the one thing that I
said probably 1000 times andthat remedy was noise.
So the Ritian is hyper, hypersensitive to noise but has the
restlessness that goes alongwith the other spider remedies,
(25:08):
has really intense vertigo thatcan go, feels like it's going
into the teeth and bones andthink that destructive state.
They're completely disoriented,they're frazzled, they're
almost like that Alzheimer'sstate, out of control.
I think that is the wrapping up.
The keynotes are all of thosethings I just read for Theridian
(25:31):
.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Yeah, and I just want to say, since so many people
are hypersensitive to noisethese days, nux Vomica is my
number one go-to.
So I would you know, if you'resitting here thinking, oh my
gosh, I'm so hypersensitive, ormy son is, or my daughter, or
whatever, thinking, oh my gosh,I'm so hypersensitive, or my son
is, or my daughter, or whateveryou know, to noise, I would.
(25:54):
I would go with Nuxvomica,first, nuxvomica 30, once or
twice per day, you know, do thatfor eight weeks and then,
because you know I would, Iwould only go with the Iridian,
if, if the whole, if it fit mywhole picture, not just for that
one specific thing.
I just want to say that,because it's really a really
prominent thing that a lot ofpeople are struggling with is
hypersensitive, um,hypersensitive, yeah, okay, so,
(26:19):
um.
Next is lack lactodectus Mactans.
You know I'm saying that, right, latrodectus mactans.
I don't even know if I'm sayingthat, right, latrodectus
mactans.
This is a black widow spider.
So this will have all of thespider symptoms aggression,
predator versus prey, dominator,dominated and so it has
(26:43):
arguably the most severe angina,spasms and pains of any remedy
in our books.
So we can compare for thatangina.
We can compare cactus, um,lillium, Lillium, tig, uh,
calmia, magfos, and this is likea clutching and clutching over
(27:05):
the heart.
That's your, your, um,lactodectus mactans.
So, um, this is so.
The pain of lactodectus isabsolutely crippling, painful,
angina spasm.
It's as if it takes all ofthose neurological symptoms that
we see in the spiders andactually condenses them into
(27:27):
this cramping around the heart.
That is life-threatening andreally serious.
And so you know, I mean, wehave to say sure, if you have a
tendency to this or you've hadthis before, you want to be
ready, get your lactodectus butget to the hospital.
If you need to take it on theway to the hospital, you know,
(27:51):
be be smart.
So this is agonizingly painfuland, um, you know the again the
heart symptoms to a major degree.
Um, this remedy can also haveincreased appetite, excruciation
with constipation, so theyseize up like a drum.
(28:12):
Nothing moves inside, noperistalsis.
It's as if there's a completeparalysis in that particular
area, so similar to thetarantula hispanica, hispania
picture.
So it's absolutely inactivityof the rectum and they have
(28:40):
fight, flight or fright, and allthe kingdom remedies, animal
kingdom remedies, do this.
So there's stiffness, paralysisof the muscles and they, their
fears, are of bats, death, dying, and um, they have anxiety over
just the complete loss ofcontrol and over over anything.
So, um, there is a heart combo.
(29:01):
So get your pen and paper Ifyou don't already have it out
taking notes from, from theseremedies.
There's a heart combo.
Um, for that, you can combinecactus china out, also known as
cinchona bark and cratagus andlow potencies like 3x or 6x,
that can tone up the heart forpeople who have heart
pathologies and, um, or slightheart weakness, and so it.
(29:27):
It can really firm up thearteries and this can be given
like a tonic that you use justto tone up the heart and carry
around.
You can carry aroundlactodectus with you.
So if you ever get the spasm,then you take it as needed.
Magphos is great for people whojust get a little bit of a
heart twinge, a little bit ofangina.
(29:48):
You can sip it in warm water oryou know.
But if it's really serious andpainful, then lactodectus is
going to be a better remedy.
So, bree, take us to the lastremedy.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
This great one that I don't even know how to say.
I'm going to think Mygal,lassie, odora, yep, perfect, it
is the black Cuban spider or thebird spider, and I have seen
pictures of these and they areunbelievable.
I mean, if this is what I'mthinking of, it's the bird
(30:24):
spider that has a reputation ofeating birds and small rodents.
So imagine the spider.
The size of it is enormous.
It's like you should look, lookup a picture real quick, show
our YouTube friends.
Um, it's hairy and black andleaps like it can jump.
So don't want to be near thisone.
(30:47):
It does not live in a web.
It weaves its own little conein the ground and it sits there
and waits to pounce on whatevercreepy crawler comes its way.
So now that you know a lotabout this bird spider, the
remedy made from this spider hasa very strong tendency for
jerking and twitching, has avery strong tendency for jerking
(31:11):
and twitching, particularly inthe upper part of the body.
So maybe twitching and jerkingin the jaw, it can be anywhere
in the body, but it has aparticular bias for upper
extremities, like the top halfof the body.
So, like the other spiderremedies, it has restlessness,
but you might see in thispicture, fidgety hands Could be.
Also, if there's been asuppression of gonorrhea that
(31:33):
leads to some of theneurological symptoms, this
could be a good remedy.
It is also good for dyskinesia,which is involuntary, erratic
movements of the face, arms,legs or trunk.
So think somebody with ticscould fit this picture in the
(31:54):
upper part of their body, whichI feel like that's more common.
Do we want to do any briefoverview of tarantula hispanica?
Is that in your notes?
It is not in here because it'sthe big over remedy.
So do we want to just touch onsome of the keynotes?
Yeah, you mean from the MateriaMedica.
Yeah, I have mine open.
So I mean, I feel like we didcover a lot of the overall
(32:19):
picture.
So hyperactivity, add, anginacan be good for autism, hysteria
, nervous disorders, numbness,ms.
What else?
Restlessness, twitching, sepsis, suffocation, violent pains,
(32:42):
vertigo and, if any of you know,there was this dance called the
Tarantella.
It's actually a song I playedat one of my piano recitals and
it's a really fast, crazy inyour hands Now that I think of
it I didn't know this at thetime Like you're bouncing around
like a very bouncy happy danceand so, anyway, tidbit, yep.
(33:07):
Do you see anything specificyou want to go over for this one
?
No, okay, I mean, it doesn'tfeel like anything different.
So I think the reason wecovered the other ones because
they're more specific keynotes.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
If you need a different one besides Hispanica,
so yeah.
Yeah, if you need a differentone besides Hispanica.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
So, yeah, okay.
So there you go, the spiders,the spider family or spider
remedies Again.
Maybe someday we'll do thesnakes and that's.
These remedies are reallyuseful, I mean especially.
I mean you heard about thelactodectus and the tarantula
(33:50):
cubensis and the Hispanic one,and even the, you know, I guess,
the little orange, thetheridian.
I think they're really useful.
I don't, you know, I don't knowif everybody has to have those
remedies, but you should knowabout them, so you know, if it
fits, then maybe you could useit.
Thank you, thanks for beinghere.
(34:14):
We'll look forward to seeingyou all next time.
Welcome back to Homeopathy at Home with Melissa.
Hey, Melissa.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Hey Brie, I'm super excited for Materia Medica.
Monday.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
Yeah, it's been a while.
So today we're going to cover agroup of remedies.
So before we get to that, Iwould like to read a testimony.
Somebody left about the podcast, so this one is from Treasure
Chris.
She said this podcast is ananswer to my prayers.
Thank you, melissa, for puttingthis wealth of information out
(00:30):
here.
You are spreading joy and hopein so many ways and it's our
faith that really cementedhomeopathy as a wonderful answer
for me and my family.
I'm just starting and my kidsare grown, but the plan is just
like the gospel, to live it outday by day and offer to help
whenever it's needed.
You are a blessing.
Thank you again.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Oh, thank you so much , treasure, chris.
I really, really love that.
It's so encouraging, right,bree, when we know, when we find
out, when we are able to readthat we are actually helping
people and they're being blessed.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Yeah, because we just sit here and record in our
house, have our conversation.
It's so funny to me to hear itgo out into the world, or people
tell me that they've listenedto it.
Yeah, it is really encouraging,it's really cool.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Very cool.
Thank you so much for fortaking time to type that up.
Very cool.
Thank you so much for takingtime to type that up.
And that was a recent one, youknow, just very recent.
So thank you for that.
Also.
Before we jump into our group ofremedies, which is very
interesting, if you haven'talready noticed by the title of
this podcast, I want to answer afan mail question.
(01:46):
So when you listen to thispodcast on Buzzsprout so on my
Buzzsprout um, on that thatplatform, then you can you can
type in a question, um, throughthe fan mail.
There's a link in thedescription of the podcast on
Buzzsprout and so you can typethat in and I'll answer it.
(02:08):
So let me.
I want to.
I want to answer this onequestion that was from there.
Um, it's from Front RoyalVirginia and the question is I
was listening to your amazingpodcast and you kept referring
to a pregnancy protocol thatwomen take during their entire
pregnancy.
Can you point me to the rightplace to a pregnancy protocol
that women take during theirentire pregnancy?
Can you point me to the rightplace to find information on
(02:28):
that protocol?
My husband and I are gettingready to try for baby number two
and I would love to usehomeopathy for this pregnancy.
Thanks for all you do.
So we used to follow a reallyspecific pregnancy protocol.
A lot of homeopaths follow areally specific.
(02:50):
You know, on this month youtake this cell salt, this month
you take this cell salt and umor these couple of cell salts,
and what I found is that it canbe tedious, it can be hard to
follow, especially um, you know,if you're, if you've got other
children and you're busy andyou're a wife and a mom and you
(03:11):
know all the things that we do.
So we decided to make it reallysimple.
But also it was confirmedthrough another homeopath that I
value and I trust and so onceshe kind of and she does a lot
with women, so once she kind ofconfirmed that's what she's been
doing too, then I decided justto change.
(03:33):
So bioplasma or the 12 cellsalt combo, take that now
because it sounds like you aregetting ready to try for baby
number two.
Go ahead and start it now twiceper day and take it through.
What do you think, brie, sixweeks after.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Yeah, yeah, I would say, and, depending on how you
feel, I took it for a long timeafter my third because I was
really tired and a reallystressful period of time.
So yeah, but at least I wouldsay I would agree six weeks.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Okay so so just take the 12 cell salts in combination
makes makes life easy, ratherthan trying to do certain cell
salts you have to buy themindividually.
Then you're buying 12 differentbottles of remedy and keeping
up with which one is when tostart.
Yeah, it was very complicated.
I mean it wasn't verycomplicated, but it was more
(04:27):
complicated than just take thecombo.
You're good, it works.
So, thanks for the question.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Um, what'd you say to throw this in there?
I know you say this in umclasses and things, that if you
have any other things going onif you have in your first
pregnancy you had problems.
If you have hormone thingsgoing on if you have in your
first pregnancy you had problemsif you have hormone things
going on, you also likely need apersonalized chronic plan that
could help change a lot of thissecond pregnancy.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Absolutely.
Oh, I'm so glad you reminded meof that.
That is absolutely true.
But also, even if it's justyour first baby, if you're right
now pregnant or or if you'replanning to get pregnant soon, I
want to encourage you to go tomy website, melissa Crenshaw dot
com.
Make appointment tab Right,brie.
(05:17):
I think they can just scrolldown and see what is it called.
Is it called pregnancy, labordelivery, pregnancy or labor and
delivery?
You, you'll see the appointment.
Anybody can make it.
You don't have to.
You know you don't have to tobe.
You don't have to do the free15 minute phone call.
Skip that.
(05:37):
You go straight in If you arepregnant or planning to get
pregnant and you can schedulethat appointment so that we can
help you through now.
Um, uh, what did you?
What do you see there?
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Yep Pregnancy, labor and delivery planning Awesome,
yep, yep.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Do that and, um, you're going to find, do you
want to do you want to speak tothat?
I know I'm putting you on thisspot, but do you want to speak
to the two different optionsthat you have, or do you just
want to talk to each individual?
Okay, good, Do it?
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Yeah, so, um, we recently started this where we
do, obviously, homeopathicconsults, so these are chronic.
No matter what you choose, youwill get a remedy care plan.
Recently, I've started theoption of a coaching combo where
we do homeopathic remedies butalso some coaching.
(06:33):
So that's just something I'mreally passionate about.
I put a lot of time, years ofresearch into and my heart
behind those is really just toeducate moms and families to
take responsibility, haveautonomy and whatever kind of
prenatal care, birth, postpartumexperience you want.
(06:56):
There are a lot of options, lotsof, especially in America.
There are options, but youdon't always know.
I would not have known whatquestions to ask going in until
I have some negative experiencesand then I want to avoid them.
So really, my goal is tothere's lots of options.
No one is always better thanthe other, but if you know what
(07:17):
to ask, know what to expect, youcan I mean, advocate for
yourself and go and educated,empowered.
I mean advocate for yourselfand go in educated, empowered
and have your best shot, in myopinion, and get the best kind
of care.
So that's an option.
I love it so much.
I'm going to do one tonight.
I'm really excited.
So if you would like thatoption.
(07:37):
That's something we'll talkabout when you schedule that
consult.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Love it, I love it.
So you just schedule it andthen you can talk about it and
you can decide.
You know what that will looklike for you.
Love it.
I love it so much, so, reallypersonalized and um so.
So, as tonight we are inMateria Medica, monday, we're
going to go from beautifulblessings to beautiful birth,
and we're going to now talkabout spiders.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
What an entry to these remedies.
Well, let's.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
we just set you up to be beautiful and calm, and now
we're going to listen.
If you're afraid of spiders,you need to hear about this.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
It's true.
Ironically, you probably coulduse one of these.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Yeah, yeah, the spider remedies are really, um,
really awesome remedies.
And so, you know, did we do thesnakes before?
Have we done the snake?
No, we did the milks.
We did the milks, yeah.
So we need, we're going to dothe snakes at some point, you
know, and just the group, thesegroups of remedies are really
(08:40):
awesome.
So, um, the tarantula.
Tarantula is pretty much thetemplate for the spider remedies
in general, so kind of likelachesis is the template, so to
speak, for the snake remedies.
It's like the, the main one.
(09:00):
Tarantula is the template forthe spider remedies and so all
of the spiders will always havea slight connection to the
tarantula Hispanica picture.
So the animal kingdom remedythemes are survival, competition
(09:21):
, aggression, aggressor versusvictim, predator and prey right
this makes sense in the animalkingdom Dominance and its
opposite, the persecutor and thepersecuted.
Sexuality, powerful, aggressive, forceful.
You know how animals behave,and I'm just really thinking of
(09:44):
a funny chicken story that I'mjust not going to tell right now
, I'm going to stay on task.
So, individuality, so those arethe are the common themes of
the animal kingdom remedies, andsome other characteristics of
spider remedies in general arethe tendency to be cold, even
(10:04):
though they're hyperactive,chilly.
They're very chilly remediesand strong relationship to
vibration, music, rhythm, noisethey love all of that stuff.
Distortion of time, tend to besolitary creatures.
They can be restless, active,aggressive and tend also to be
solitary creatures.
They can be restless, active,aggressive and tend also to be
(10:26):
solitary.
So an interesting modality ofthe spider remedies in general
is not just craving but betterfor cigarettes and tobacco.
So right now, on the heels ofmy whole addictions I guess
(10:46):
campaign is what you could callit I did a couple of weeks of
addictions themed reels on mysocial media and so these
remedies can kind of speak tothat.
So it's not, it's not just,it's very odd not just a craving
for, but actually better forcigarettes and tobacco.
(11:07):
It calms them down and theyfeel better.
Well, of course it calms themdown, they feel better.
That's why they become addictedto it.
So not just that they, theycrave it, but the modality is
that they're, they're actuallybetter for it.
And so all the spiders to acertain extent have got
neurological symptoms, brain,spine, nervous symptoms, system
(11:31):
sorry, and especially thetarantula hispanica picture.
So there can be jerking,twitching, nervous spasms,
constant motion, and they loveto smoke.
So that's the generality of thespiders.
So tarantula in you knowspecifically it's the Cuban
spider and they don't have itdoesn't have many symptoms.
(11:57):
But what we do have is a veryinteresting and clear picture
and it's actuallyunderrepresented in homeopathy,
in the world of homeopathy.
So there's not a single mentalsymptom of this remedy in Kent's
(12:18):
repertory and it's not verywell proven.
But certain characteristics ofthe spider tendency with the
added factor of pyrogenium, soabscesses, boils, carbuncles,
agonizing pains, septicemia,septic states in general, agony,
that goes along with that.
So it's kind of like hepersulfwith the pain and the agony and
(12:42):
the septicemia.
Along with arsenicum album itis one of those remedies that is
considered to be the remedywhere the person is just at the
point of death and they're inagony.
So that septic state, poisonousstate, necrotic, facing death,
with all the horror, fear,restlessness and the septic
(13:03):
state that goes along with allof that.
This is one of our greatnear-death remedies.
Tarantula All of the generalcharacteristics of spider
remedies would be there, likeall the necrotic dying death of
pyrogenium as well.
(13:24):
So pyrogenium is a little morepassive in the sense that it
doesn't have the spider elementthere.
So it doesn't have quitetendency of the tarantula
cubensis.
Tarantula is with anotherremedy would probably.
(13:51):
Let's see, the nearestequivalent to tarantula is
arsenicum album.
So it's got the anxiety, fear,pain, suffering, near death and
possibly something likehepersulf for the actual septic
state, pus, rotting, necrotic,gangrenous state.
So you can kind of see, youknow, because most people know
arsenicum album, a lot of peopleknow pyrogenium, and so when
(14:14):
you look at and hepersulf, sowhen you look at those remedies,
that's kind of like whattarantula can look like.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Okay, so can I clarify if I'm understanding
correctly?
Okay, you know, as I do from anoutside perspective, you know
these remedies better than I do.
Um, it sounds like so.
Pyrogenium has the rotting,that kind of gross stuff like um
necrosis, that kind of grossstuff like um necrosis,
(14:47):
literally sometimes your flesh,but internally dying infection.
But arsenicum has the, thatanxiety, restlessness, the fear.
So those pictures kind oftogether would be maybe when you
would consider if you have bothelements, like somebody who's
really, really sick, like aheparsulfur pyrogenium infection
, the restlessness I like that.
(15:09):
Some people peaceful like theirbodies aren't?
I mean, they're maybe dying,and maybe an elderly person who
has some fear but doesn't haveanything serious going on
physically Wouldn't think one ofthese remedies Is that.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Right, right so there's the fear of dying.
You're dying and you're afraidand you've got some anxiety with
it.
Then arsenicum album If there'ssome necrotic sepsis.
So pyrogenium is great forsepsis and gangrene and so you
(15:48):
could just use pyrogenium.
But I think what the MateriaMedica says is that pyrot, that
tarantula, is worse with thenecrotic state, the septic state
, and that it's a lot like.
So it's worse than pyrogeniumand it's a lot like arsenicum
(16:09):
album and hepersulf.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Okay, okay, yeah, thank you.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
You're welcome, thank you.
So this tarantula is number onefor easing through the death
process, but arsenicum album ishigh up there too.
So I would actually sayarsenicum album is number one,
and then tarantula would be veryclose second, if it fits.
So going through the deathprocess as painlessly, as
(16:37):
anxiety free as possible, withas much dignity and
self-awareness as you possiblycan, palliatively, it's going to
be great, you know, at the endof in death and and then there
may be a syphilitic component asa possibility.
(16:59):
But spider remedies tend to betubercular in nature.
So the next remedy.
So this is tarantula cubensis.
So let's see, let me this isCuban tarantula right, not
Hispanic.
(17:20):
So I did say Hispanic earlierand that's two different.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Huh yeah, there are two different ones in Materia
Medica, but you said it right.
The Hispanic is that almostlike the umbrella remedy.
It sounds like of the spiders,where most of them maybe not
umbrella is not the right term,but they most.
Most of the other ones connectsomewhat to the Hispanic picture
.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Okay, yes, and then what we?
What I just described?
The keynotes I just wentthrough are for Cubensis.
Okay, okay, all right, do thenext one.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
And I think I'm pronouncing this right, you guys
.
Theridian Yep, it's a littleorange spider.
I have not ever heard of thisremedy, so this is why I love
these.
This is fun.
The major keynotes for theridianare incredible sensitivity to
noise, so very deeply, noisethat has felt almost in the
(18:13):
teeth and the bones and thenervous system.
Everything is intensely on edgeas a result of that sensitivity
to noise, almost like thenervous system is in a constant
state of excitement.
There are other remediessimilar, like coffea asarum, I
(18:33):
think nuxvomica, thathypersensitivity to noise, but
this is very extreme, literallylike the noise goes into the
nerves, into the teeth, into thebones, which might cause
clenching of the jaw, veryintense.
So the noise and agitation ofthe world going on around them
(18:57):
all the time, even subliminallysometimes it pushes them into
that state of maybe a nervousdestructive breakdown.
So this may affect your balance.
In our ear it could create avertigo.
That's very extreme.
It is George Vltuk Vytulka.
(19:21):
He has, he has a materia medicaright.
Um, he made a connection aftera number of years of this type
of agitation.
Sorry, going backwards a littlebit to that.
That noise, that destructivepicture, um, it's similar to an
alzheimer's state.
It's not immediately like that,but that destructive process to
the central nervous system canlook like Alzheimer's is what he
(19:47):
said.
So sorry, I'm going to jumpback to now the inner ear stuff.
It can affect the balance,inner ear vertigo.
So you might see dizziness, adizzy vertigo state.
They might even be almosthysterical, but quiet, agitated
(20:07):
because there's a constantunderlying irritation of the
nervous system.
Might be very dissociated.
You might have tinnitusMeniere's disease, might have
tinnitus Meniere's disease.
Theridion has a nasty catarrhalpicture, so thick, yellow,
(20:35):
offensive catarrh, chronic nasalcatarrh.
It may follow or be similar tothe cocculus picture with that
inner ear problem.
The imbalance, vertigo,dizziness, seasickness, a good
travel remedy, those are allcalculus keynotes.
But this can, maybe it canmimic some of those things.
It can be related to that thisremedy.
So theridine could developwhere somebody has been under
(20:58):
the same stress that thecalculus person is under, so
like night watching, caring forsomebody through the night,
really just that constant taxingof the nervous system, somebody
that is pushed to their limit,to a breaking point, until
they're so tired, so dizzy, withthe extreme racket noise, that
(21:21):
agitation that it drives them todespair.
So that's what they mean by itcan look like calculus in that
way where you have the nightwatching that exhaustion, where
you're pushed to despair.
So vertigo is a big picture.
A big part of Theridian is abig picture, a big part of
(21:51):
theridium.
So vertigo, with that sound,noise, agitation, it is part of
the tubercular miasm.
So there's a lot of restlessdiscontentment.
They're constantly moving fromplace to place, constantly on
the go, can't sit still.
That's also that spider picture.
Constantly on the go, can't sitstill, that's also that spider
picture.
This could be a good remedy forRitalin pictures.
So ADHD, which I have seen alot in the other spider remedies
too, is ADHD, that agitated,restless child or adult.
(22:19):
This remedy is different fromtarantula.
Tarantula I said that so weirdand that it doesn't have quite
the strength and power.
That tarantula has, not thatsame sensitivity or, I'm sorry,
the same energy, but itssensitivity to noise is a very
(22:39):
negative sensitivity wheretarantula is sensitive to the
sound and vibration, to music,but in a positive way.
So that was interesting.
I reading over that they turntarantula.
I keep saying that differentlyevery single time and the
Materia Medica is spelledtarantula, but sometimes I see
tarantula, either one.
(23:00):
Yeah, they like to dance, theylike the music where the Ridian
is irritated and agitated bythat noise.
Music.
Where the Ritian is irritatedand agitated by that noise.
Um, this can be good fornecrosis of the teeth, of the
bones.
Um, maybe somebody who'sprematurely aged.
That noise bothers them so muchthat they are just, um, they
(23:22):
have a hard time makingdecisions about anything.
They're very frazzled.
They completely lackself-confidence.
All those typically aggressive,forceful, animalistic spider
qualities are mostly deficientnow because they are so frazzled
(23:43):
by the noise.
So you keep hearing me say thatthe noise agitation is huge for
this picture.
They'll completely lose theirlibido where the other remedies
spider remedies don't have that.
That's different.
They still have thatrestlessness, agitation of the
(24:04):
other spider remedies.
But it's really the big thingis noise.
They may crave oranges andbananas.
Time feels like it goes reallyfast.
It's a great migraine remedy,can be good for puberty,
pregnancy and menopause.
They may have an incrediblysensitive spine.
(24:24):
It's good for sunstroke withincredible agitation, can be
good for cardiac pains andangina, which the Black Widow
Spider remedy can also be goodfor.
It can be used forhallucinations, for sight and
(24:45):
hearing, where they arehallucinating either of those
things and tends to be moreleft-sided the one thing that I
said probably 1000 times andthat remedy was noise.
So the Ritian is hyper, hypersensitive to noise but has the
restlessness that goes alongwith the other spider remedies,
(25:08):
has really intense vertigo thatcan go, feels like it's going
into the teeth and bones andthink that destructive state.
They're completely disoriented,they're frazzled, they're
almost like that Alzheimer'sstate, out of control.
I think that is the wrapping up.
The keynotes are all of thosethings I just read for Theridian
(25:31):
.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Yeah, and I just want to say, since so many people
are hypersensitive to noisethese days, nux Vomica is my
number one go-to.
So I would you know, if you'resitting here thinking, oh my
gosh, I'm so hypersensitive, ormy son is, or my daughter, or
whatever, thinking, oh my gosh,I'm so hypersensitive, or my son
is, or my daughter, or whateveryou know, to noise, I would.
(25:54):
I would go with Nuxvomica,first, nuxvomica 30, once or
twice per day, you know, do thatfor eight weeks and then,
because you know I would, Iwould only go with the Iridian,
if, if the whole, if it fit mywhole picture, not just for that
one specific thing.
I just want to say that,because it's really a really
prominent thing that a lot ofpeople are struggling with is
hypersensitive, um,hypersensitive, yeah, okay, so,
(26:19):
um.
Next is lack lactodectus Mactans.
You know I'm saying that, right, latrodectus mactans.
I don't even know if I'm sayingthat, right, latrodectus
mactans.
This is a black widow spider.
So this will have all of thespider symptoms aggression,
predator versus prey, dominator,dominated and so it has
(26:43):
arguably the most severe angina,spasms and pains of any remedy
in our books.
So we can compare for thatangina.
We can compare cactus, um,lillium, Lillium, tig, uh,
calmia, magfos, and this is likea clutching and clutching over
(27:05):
the heart.
That's your, your, um,lactodectus mactans.
So, um, this is so.
The pain of lactodectus isabsolutely crippling, painful,
angina spasm.
It's as if it takes all ofthose neurological symptoms that
we see in the spiders andactually condenses them into
(27:27):
this cramping around the heart.
That is life-threatening andreally serious.
And so you know, I mean, wehave to say sure, if you have a
tendency to this or you've hadthis before, you want to be
ready, get your lactodectus butget to the hospital.
If you need to take it on theway to the hospital, you know,
(27:51):
be be smart.
So this is agonizingly painfuland, um, you know the again the
heart symptoms to a major degree.
Um, this remedy can also haveincreased appetite, excruciation
with constipation, so theyseize up like a drum.
(28:12):
Nothing moves inside, noperistalsis.
It's as if there's a completeparalysis in that particular
area, so similar to thetarantula hispanica, hispania
picture.
So it's absolutely inactivityof the rectum and they have
(28:40):
fight, flight or fright, and allthe kingdom remedies, animal
kingdom remedies, do this.
So there's stiffness, paralysisof the muscles and they, their
fears, are of bats, death, dying, and um, they have anxiety over
just the complete loss ofcontrol and over over anything.
So, um, there is a heart combo.
(29:01):
So get your pen and paper Ifyou don't already have it out
taking notes from, from theseremedies.
There's a heart combo.
Um, for that, you can combinecactus china out, also known as
cinchona bark and cratagus andlow potencies like 3x or 6x,
that can tone up the heart forpeople who have heart
pathologies and, um, or slightheart weakness, and so it.
(29:27):
It can really firm up thearteries and this can be given
like a tonic that you use justto tone up the heart and carry
around.
You can carry aroundlactodectus with you.
So if you ever get the spasm,then you take it as needed.
Magphos is great for people whojust get a little bit of a
heart twinge, a little bit ofangina.
(29:48):
You can sip it in warm water oryou know.
But if it's really serious andpainful, then lactodectus is
going to be a better remedy.
So, bree, take us to the lastremedy.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
This great one that I don't even know how to say.
I'm going to think Mygal,lassie, odora, yep, perfect, it
is the black Cuban spider or thebird spider, and I have seen
pictures of these and they areunbelievable.
I mean, if this is what I'mthinking of, it's the bird
(30:24):
spider that has a reputation ofeating birds and small rodents.
So imagine the spider.
The size of it is enormous.
It's like you should look, lookup a picture real quick, show
our YouTube friends.
Um, it's hairy and black andleaps like it can jump.
So don't want to be near thisone.
(30:47):
It does not live in a web.
It weaves its own little conein the ground and it sits there
and waits to pounce on whatevercreepy crawler comes its way.
So now that you know a lotabout this bird spider, the
remedy made from this spider hasa very strong tendency for
jerking and twitching, has avery strong tendency for jerking
(31:11):
and twitching, particularly inthe upper part of the body.
So maybe twitching and jerkingin the jaw, it can be anywhere
in the body, but it has aparticular bias for upper
extremities, like the top halfof the body.
So, like the other spiderremedies, it has restlessness,
but you might see in thispicture, fidgety hands Could be.
Also, if there's been asuppression of gonorrhea that
(31:33):
leads to some of theneurological symptoms, this
could be a good remedy.
It is also good for dyskinesia,which is involuntary, erratic
movements of the face, arms,legs or trunk.
So think somebody with ticscould fit this picture in the
(31:54):
upper part of their body, whichI feel like that's more common.
Do we want to do any briefoverview of tarantula hispanica?
Is that in your notes?
It is not in here because it'sthe big over remedy.
So do we want to just touch onsome of the keynotes?
Yeah, you mean from the MateriaMedica.
Yeah, I have mine open.
So I mean, I feel like we didcover a lot of the overall
(32:19):
picture.
So hyperactivity, add, anginacan be good for autism, hysteria
, nervous disorders, numbness,ms.
What else?
Restlessness, twitching, sepsis, suffocation, violent pains,
(32:42):
vertigo and, if any of you know,there was this dance called the
Tarantella.
It's actually a song I playedat one of my piano recitals and
it's a really fast, crazy inyour hands Now that I think of
it I didn't know this at thetime Like you're bouncing around
like a very bouncy happy danceand so, anyway, tidbit, yep.
(33:07):
Do you see anything specificyou want to go over for this one
?
No, okay, I mean, it doesn'tfeel like anything different.
So I think the reason wecovered the other ones because
they're more specific keynotes.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
If you need a different one besides Hispanica,
so yeah.
Yeah, if you need a differentone besides Hispanica.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
So, yeah, okay.
So there you go, the spiders,the spider family or spider
remedies Again.
Maybe someday we'll do thesnakes and that's.
These remedies are reallyuseful, I mean especially.
I mean you heard about thelactodectus and the tarantula
(33:50):
cubensis and the Hispanic one,and even the, you know, I guess,
the little orange, thetheridian.
I think they're really useful.
I don't, you know, I don't knowif everybody has to have those
remedies, but you should knowabout them, so you know, if it
fits, then maybe you could useit.
Thank you, thanks for beinghere.
(34:14):
We'll look forward to seeingyou all next time.
