Homeopathy with Edel
A 58 year old man came to my practice. He had a history of high blood pressure and heart arrhythmia. He is curt in how he expresses himself but he is open and honest. He is a fit man.
First Visit: Dialogue
Pains down the legs post heart attack
‘ I get pains in my legs. I never had it before the heart attack’.
‘It just got worse and worse, especially after working, cramp, stand up and the legs feel tight, mostly on the thighs and then right through the whole legs.’
‘I got three stints put in. The arteries were blocked. They said the valves were ok’.
‘I was three months out of work. When I woke up in the hospital my sister and my brother were at the end of the bed. That is where I was! I appreciate them now because they are what I have now.’
‘I got to thinking and then time was long, marriage breaking up, away from the kids, living away from my people’.
‘I got very sad reflecting on that. When I got working time went faster and I was better for that.’
‘I like to think positive, not negative. I try to see the bright side of things.’

Teenage Years
‘They were tough. We were the country boys, catholic. There was lots of abuse to listen to on the bus from school.  After school there would be fights. I learned how to put up my shields early! Lifting weights, fights would build up respect for who you are. Mentally I could block stuff out’.
‘I used to go to the house angry, never talk to the kids, it wasn’t easy for anyone’.
‘I am not like that now.’
Mother/Father
‘My mother was the industrious one in our house. She had an organic vegetable business supplying all the local vegetable shops. We would help her.’
‘I don’t really have anyone to turn to now if I am in trouble’.
Angry
‘I loose it, shout, scream and slam the door’.
‘In the good times it was three holidays a year the lot’.
