                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thanks Sandy and Mikael for this site, such a great idea! I have a question for those who have used Helleborus. Helixor makes Helleborus niger and Uriel makes Helleborus planta tota, and I believe both come in 12x and 4x. However, Helixor's is roughly 3 times as expensive. I would like to try it with a few of my cancer patients, but am wondering which one to chose / recommend. If you've had experience with either or ideally with both, I'd love to hear about it! </p>]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have started using medicinal mushrooms on myself and with a number of my patients to promote general health and longevity. There is a strong tradition of their use within TCM (or CCM for those that went to NUNM). I would like to initiate discussion within an anthroposophical extended medicine (AEM) framework. AEM pharmacopoeia does not much comment on MM. The mushroom most studied is agaricus muscarinic used for nervous system disorders. Although that is a MM, it is a much more specific medical that treats advanced pathology.</p>
<p>The mushrooms I am more curious about are reishi, shiitake, maitake, lions mane, etc, the so called mushroom tonics which are not traditional used in AEM. My interest is in supporting patients with more general health tonics, something a little more physical. AEM pharmacopeia is heavily homeopathic. How can we support patients day-to-day longterm wellness? I think these tonic mushrooms may play a role.</p>
<p>So let's start as all AEM discussion do with Mr. Steiner. He said somewhere (trust me) that mushroom are treating disorders from the moon evolution. For those not familiar with cosmic history, the present day earth went through a Saturn evolution, sun evolution, and moon evolution before arriving at its current earth phase. During the moon evolution, humans were developing their current day etheric body. So I think from a four phase perspective mushrooms are primarily focusing on etheric development. This makes intuitive sense as mushrooms' bodies are spongy and fleshy reflecting an etheric qualities. We also know biologically that mushrooms are scavengers breaking down detritus and elevating it back to life - elevating the physical back into the etheric realm.</p>
<p>From a threefold perspective, it is notable that they lack a rhythmic middle. They transition from the mycelium underground (nervous pole straight to a fleshy stalk and bulb (metabolic pole). The metabolic pole starts earlier than it would in a typical plant, beginning while it is still in the earth. From a threefold perspective the substance has a strong terrestrial quality, driving the metabolic pole into the earth.</p>
<p>It is interesting to imagine mushrooms in contrast to a substance like mistletoe with its aerial cosmic qualities. It is interesting because both mushrooms and mistletoe are often used in oncology. One may consider mushrooms behaving similarly to helleborus another very fleshy terrestrial plant that swiftly transitions from the nervous pole to metabolic with very little rhythmic intermediary.</p>
<p>In conclusion: I think mushrooms are great for building the etheric body especially in cases where parts of the body are not integrated. They can help with those who are lacking grounding suffering from luciferian pulls. Lastly, they can serve as a useful counterbalance to mistletoe in oncology.</p>
<p>I would be curious if it is necessary to separate mushroom administration from mistletoe in oncology cases. It is recommended to take helleborus and mistletoe 24 hours apart in cancer patients. </p>
<p>I welcome any insights from others adding to this investigation.</p>]]></content:encoded>

I have used choleodoron for functional gallbladder insufficiency, and also for neuroinflammation, and also have found it to be useful in weight loss as well, specifically where there is a MASH (NAFLD) situation. </p>]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have a 15 yo male (March birthday, was induced at birth, and had VUR - kidney reflux, the first 2.5 yrs of life and on abx) with recent ADHD dx, but teachers had noticed something 'off' w RR since he was in 2nd grade. He was just put on Adderall by pediatrician one day before our visit, and historically Vyvanse did nothing but make him grumpy. He is always fatigued and with low mood, and mimics his father who also has severe sx of ADHD according to pt's mom. Both parents involved and also lives beside grandparents on farm. He gets occipital headaches 1-2x/month, many allergies, gets chest pain and muscle spasms, but cardio work up is WNL. He has great difficulty getting up and is very impulsive, and has poor executive function. He is academically advanced, but bored, and loves music and art (in guitar lessons), goes for walks at lunch at school but not really sporty/active. He cannot print or write (due to tech based learning says mom). Vision and hearing testing WNL. No aversions to touch, or light, no aggression, but has poor memory, and can't feed himself or keep his room clean. The concern is he is up for his drivers licence soon and they are worried he will do poorly with his attn while driving and cause MVA. Diet isn't the worst teenage diet, not SAD, but not perfect. He sleeps on his younger sister's shoulder on the school bus to and fro.</p>
<p>I ran an Enhanced Healthy Living Assessment Panel (Canadian Lifelabs) <span>Feb 2 2025 is mostly WNL, with the exceptions of low Vit D (55.3), Vit B12 (255), low normal ferritin (84), and elevated fasting insulin for the fasting glucose, and high albumin (likely dehydration). Vitals WNL.</span></p>
<p>The plan I am thinking is below. I would like to harmonize the rhythmic system (RS) to better incorporate the MS and NS system. The cardiac sx lead me to go here, and the Aurum would bring his I-org in to order the astral and shape the etheric and too support the Metabolic that may need some regulation, that is overwhelming the physical (fatigue). He doesn't really have a hyocyamus picture but it's what I have in stock at the moment. </p>
<p>I have read through the Individual Peds text, and Restless Children by Meron Barak and the Vademecum for some ideas to start. </p>
<p><strong>Possible Adderall Discontinuation</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Xiao Yao Wan: 4 pellets morning, 4 at night (a liver qi clearing formula)</li>
<li>We can use Tyrosine, which is more natural, that makes neurotransmitters, to replace Adderall. Tyrosine: 1-2 daily – 1 in the am and 1 at noon.</li>
<li>If you do not want to stop Adderall altogether, take breaks on weekends and on vacations. It is hard on the organs.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>General</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Calc Carb: 3 pellets daily. (Very vital metabolic activity that is impacting the consciousness, where there is metabolic vitality but it's not being used - he has high protein but not making neurotransmitters? - as per soldner) started at first visit. don't know how that went yet.</li>
<li>Vitamin D: 5000 IU daily until May long, then 2500 IU daily</li>
<li>Omega 3 oil: 2 caps daily in the morning  (as per soldner)</li>
<li>Zinc: 1 cap daily – for just one bottle (as per solner)</li>
<li>Veratrum: 6 pellets 2x daily. This is false helleborus, and is for ADD/ADHD qualities and poor focus and concentration. Put by your bed and take with the Aurum Stib Hyo.</li>
<li>Aurum Stibium Hyocyamus: 6 pellets morning and night. Put by your bed.</li>
<li>Red meat into the diet more frequently for iron.</li>
</ul>]]></content:encoded>
