Brief Answer:
Your taking Nux vomica should be stopped.

Detailed Answer:

Hello XXXXXXX XXXXXXX

In Homoeopathy, there is no separate treatment for individual complaints like cerebral palsy, ectopic heart beat, hyper or hypo thyroidism etc.

In Homoeopathy, the individual is being treated. The individual in so called healthy state and disease state is the same person. He is given a genetic constitutional remedy which will bring the individual patient to health. The genetic and constitutional symptoms are developed both in the physical and mental plains as reactions to his life situations like various psychological conflicts.

The symptoms of diseases are usually the nature’s biological programs designed to make him healthy. No Homoeopathic remedies are intended to stop this nature’s processes. The allopathic drugs your cardiologists prescribed for you will only control and will not cure your cardiac problems. That is why you are asked to continue with that drug for so long a period like ten years. All those drugs are sure to have side effects and they again prescribe some other chemo drug which will again make complications like thyroid dysfunction etc. This does not happen with Homoeopathy.

Nux vom 30 is a routine remedy prescribed to patients who come to Homoeopathy after Allopathic treatments. It need not be your genetic and constitutional remedy. Your genetic and constitutional remedy, that can cure you, can be determined by an expert Homoeopath only. If you want such a treatment from me then you can get back to me with your detailed case. I am attaching a sample case taking format which you can utilize to enter your case in detail. After studying your case I can prescribe your constitutional remedy.

From the query you appear to limit to the bad effect of Nux Vom 30. One of the fundamental principles of Homoeopathy is that medicine is to be administered in the minimum dosage, usually one single dose. In your case you are taking the remedy for one month, five drops three times a day. It is too much and is sure to make problems. This is not a right way of prescribing Homoeopathically.

The present loose stools and indigestion are the proving symptoms because you have taken too much of the dose. You need not worry about fatality but you have to stop taking it further without any delay. Once you stop the Nux vom 30, your symptoms like diarrhea and indigestion also will disappear and you will come back to your original state.

Once your genetic constitutional remedy is taken, you will be able to withdraw the allopathic remedies gradually and finally will be able to stop them for good without any more chance of suffering from their side effects.

You can also approach another expert Homoeopath if you do not intend to get back to me with your detailed case.

I hope I have given necessary answer for your query.

With best wishes,
