Patient Profile
A 10-year-old male presented with multiple concerns including nocturnal enuresis (bedwetting), multiple warts, and behavioral challenges. The patient demonstrated a gentle disposition overall but struggled with confidence issues and occasional emotional outbursts. He lived with older siblings whose dominant personalities appeared to impact his emotional well-being.
Primary Complaints
The patient presented with several concurrent conditions:
- Chronic bedwetting
- Multiple warts
- Celiac disease with gluten sensitivity
- Seasonal allergies and dust sensitivity
- Attention deficit concerns
- Behavioral issues including:
- Low confidence
- Occasional tantrums
- Difficulty with sibling dynamics
Key Characteristics
The case revealed several notable features:
- Generally mild-mannered personality with periodic emotional outbursts
- Strong craving for sweet foods
- Diagnosed celiac disease with gluten sensitivity
- Poor attention span reported by mother
- Environmental sensitivities (dust, seasonal allergens)
- Complex family dynamics affecting emotional state
Treatment Approach
The treatment strategy involved a multi-phase approach using several remedies in sequence to address different aspects of the case.
Initial Treatment Phase
Started with a cleansing prescription of:
- Sulphur 30c
- Nux Vomica 30c These remedies were selected to begin the healing process and showed early promise with improvements in bedwetting patterns and general health.
Secondary Phase
Attempted treatment of warts with:
- Lycopodium
- Natrum Muriaticum While these remedies showed some promise, they did not produce the desired resolution of the warts.
Final Treatment Phase
Implemented an ascending potency protocol of Thuja:
- Thuja 30c
- Thuja 200c
- Thuja 1M This systematic approach proved successful in resolving the wart condition over time.
Treatment Outcomes
The case showed significant positive results:
- Complete resolution of bedwetting
- Successful elimination of warts
- Improved management of celiac symptoms (though not cured)
- Enhanced emotional stability
- Better handling of sibling relationships
Discussion
This case demonstrates several important aspects of homeopathic treatment:
- The value of a systematic approach using multiple remedies when needed
- The effectiveness of ascending potencies in treating stubborn conditions
- The importance of addressing both physical and emotional aspects of health
- The potential for significant improvement in chronic conditions through careful remedy selection
The successful resolution of both bedwetting and warts, along with improvements in emotional well-being, validates the chosen treatment approach. While the underlying celiac condition remained, its management improved, showing how homeopathy can work effectively alongside chronic conditions to improve overall quality of life.
The case particularly highlights the effectiveness of Thuja in ascending potencies for treating warts, and how initial constitutional treatment with Sulphur and Nux Vomica can create a foundation for deeper healing. The emotional improvements noted throughout treatment demonstrate homeopathy’s capacity to address both physical and psychological aspects of health simultaneously.
Conclusion
This case illustrates the potential of homeopathic treatment in addressing multiple concurrent conditions in pediatric patients. The successful outcomes in both physical symptoms and emotional well-being demonstrate the efficacy of a carefully planned, multi-phase treatment approach. The resolution of chronic issues like bed-wetting and warts, while also supporting management of an underlying chronic condition like celiac disease, shows the versatility of homeopathic intervention in complex cases.
I would like to add here that I do not have the before and after pictures for this case, we did not do them as we went along. I do however, have a positive review from his mother who was kind enough to do so, which you can see on my website which i will also add here:
“I am so glad that my son had the opportunity to work with Liam. He has dealt with various issues for much of his 11 years. One that was very embarrassing and difficult for him was that his fingers had 14 warts on them. After working with Liam for about 6 months, we saw improvements in his anxiety level and the warts were completely healed. I have not seen any indication of them returning. Liam was very attentive in following up and seeing how my son was doing and asking many great questions to find out what was going on with him. I would definitely recommend his help.”
If you require the more in depth writings of the case to view for study, they are very extensive and I can send them personally if you need them as a student to look at. This is simply an easy to digest overview.
I also recommend for any of these issues you always consult your physician about using alternative medicine. I am not claiming a cure or panacea here, just a complimentary medicine which has the potential to help.
