Hey everybody. Welcome back to Homeopathy at Home with Melissa.
Hey, Melissa.
Melissa Crenshaw 0:08
Hey there. So excited to be with you again today, Bri.
Bri Hurlburt 0:12
Me too. If you missed last time, we talked about ADHD, so go back and listen. I think that'll be helpful. This week we're going to cover hyperactivity so some of the remedies that we covered in ADHD, we will talk about again, but because it's hyperactivity, not ADHD, there's going to be other remedies in here and we might cover it from a different angle, and have different information. But I do think it's always helpful to go back, if you're taking notes especially, you can be adding to your notes each week.
I'm looking forward to this, I feel like if you're a mom of a young child, or a school aged child, but honestly many adults that I know are just now realizing that maybe a lot of their anxiety is actually ADHD, or this hyperactivity part, or certain things like that, that have affected their life a lot, they had no idea they had..
Melissa Crenshaw 1:18
Just as a side note, but kind of gone along with when you said if you're taking notes, you should be taking notes. You could treat this podcast, now I don’t mean this episode but the whole show, the podcast, as one that you just listen to while you're cleaning, while you're cooking, while you're doing the dishes, while you're driving. You sure can. You can definitely do that. I love to do that. But at some point you're going to want to sit down with your notebook and get this stuff in your notes. And remember, it's transcribed onto the blog so you can just go to the blog and get it from there. Somebody just recently said to me again, “I really wish you would just sell your notes.” And I said to her that's basically what the podcast is. I'm giving you my notes for free. If you go back, if you are taking notes, by the time when we're finished, if we ever get finished, because learning homeopathy, you are getting my 20 plus years of notes in these podcasts. I'm giving you my notes for free.
Bri Hurlburt 2:31
And I can vouch for that because I have access to, not all of your notes, but some of them, this kind of notes and this is a lot of information. I think it's very generous of you to compile all of that and share it this way.
Melissa Crenshaw 2:48
I love it. I want people to know how to use homeopathy. I want people to have the power and to heal and get better. I charge for things that I really need to and some stuff I'm just like, “Here, you can have it,” because I want people to know it.
Alright, so let's start with Medorrhinum. Medorrhinum is a nosode. If you don't know what nosodes are, it's usually a remedy made from diseased tissue or the sputum of a person who had the disease. The person, could be a child or an adult, who is hyperactive, who needs Medorrhinum might exhibit the symptoms that I'm going to go through now. They might have had a history of gonorrhea in the family. You might not know that. If your grandfather or your dad had gonorrhea, you're likely not going to know that. That's not going to be written down somewhere.
Bri Hurlburt 3:59
It’s not a family story they're talking about. .
Melissa Crenshaw 4:03
Right? So you might have to do some digging, and you might never find out. That's something that's hidden. That's something that there's not going to be free knowledge of so you might have to do some digging to see if you can find out. Usually this person contracted gonorrhea, got antibiotics that suppressed the gonorrhea, and then they had a child and the child is hyperactive. This is a way that it can come into the picture. Gonorrhea was huge in our country a long time ago. There were a lot of people who got gonorrhea and took antibiotics. That was the only thing they knew to do. Suppressed it. They had children. Their children were hyperactive and even then their children, so their grandchildren could be hyperactive because of this. Gonorrhea is a big etiology for many problems such as prostate issues, vaginitis, ovarian cysts, all pelvic problems. They get suppressed and then you get breast cancer and other problems that just go deeper. Suppression pushes diseases and pathology deeper and deeper into the system. That's why we don't suppress with allopathic medications. We uproot with homeopathy.
The Medorrhinum one is the wild child. They have wild energy. This is not just a lot of energy, like my sweet little puppy that just runs around and does all the things. This is a wild energy. In fact, I'm going to tell a quick story. Yesterday, my oldest son was telling me … oh, it was so funny. My youngest son was going to have some friends over yesterday and my oldest son and my youngest son share a room. My oldest son said, “Do I need to put my guitars away, like my things?” I said, “Oh, no, They're really good kids. They're calm. No, you don't have to worry about that.” They're not young is what I was saying and Chandler, the oldest one, said, “Do you remember that kid?” and he named the kid. He would come to our house and everything he touched, he broke it. He would break things. He would just like throw it down in Chandler’s room and he’d go to the next thing. And Chandler was like, “Why are you breaking everything?” And I said, “That's ADHD.” That's a symptom of ADHD, or hyperactivity.
They're like the bull in the China shop. They have this wild energy that's about them. They're fitful. They're not consistent. They have one or two good days and then start having temper tantrums and acting wild and they lose all their restraints. They can't control themselves. They're very restless. Spacey. Bored. Precocious sexually. They're worse at night. Dull and sluggish all day. Their energy comes up as the day goes on and then after sunset, it's the highest. So these poor mamas and daddies. They're trying to go to bed. And here they are with all their energy.
Bri Hurlburt 7:42
Uh-huh! So I have a question, though. If it says this wild energy, but dull and sluggish all day. Does that really mean that most of this energy does come out in those evening hours? Or is this again it doesn't have to fit that exactly. It just fits a lot of these things.
Melissa Crenshaw 8:02
That's right. So exactly. We never have to fit the picture 100%. Likely this wild energy is going to be worse at night, but it's probably … I've seen these kids. It's probably all day, too.
Bri Hurlburt 8:17
That's what I'm saying. I've never seen them be dull during the day. Maybe that's more of an adult presentation. I don't know.
Melissa Crenshaw 8:24
It could be. It very well could be. You're exactly right. It could be the adult presentation. And also, the Medorrhinum person has a tendency to discharges, especially from the nose or mucus in the lungs. So Medorrhinum has an overproduction. They have an overproduction of mucus and discharges, so think of sinusitis. They have chronic sinusitis, lots of thick mucus, allergies that are more focused in the sinuses. Again, they get bored easily. They're easily distracted. We're thinking again with the ADD, the ADHD, short attention span. Never slows down. They can be angry and rebellious and have a very large appetite. They are just very hungry kids. They want to eat all the time. They're burning all this energy with their wild energy and then they want to eat, eat, eat. They really do crave oranges, orange juice, sour fruits, green apples, lemon, citrus. They like all the sour things.
Bri Hurlburt 9:39
Do you know what this reminds me of? Have you seen Lilo and Stitch, the Disney movie? It is this little alien monster who just like … he's wild and he just eats everything. There's these really funny little memes of this little creature. If you have seen Lilo and Stitch, it’s like a little Stitch. I'm gonna send you a video after this and you're gonna laugh.
Melissa Crenshaw 10:08
This child becomes rebellious in school around seven to nine years old. They get in fights at school. Man, I'm thinking about some friends that I had in school. Boys. They were usually boys that were doing all this.
Bri Hurlburt 10:28
So this first, second, third grade. I do feel like that is the time where a lot of people do have trouble or thinking if they need to hold the boy back, or he just can't handle school or things like that, which to be fair, that's a lot of time to sit down for any little kid at that age.
Melissa Crenshaw 10:45
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They're out of control. And then they're apologetic and sweet. So they have these … Medorrhinum swings wildly. That wild is another, it's just like a recurring word. Medorrhinum swings wildly between symptoms and moods. Just how they control themselves, their bodies and what they do. They can't sit in school. Their hardest time of the day is in school. These are the kids that get the Adderall.
Bri Hurlburt 11:35
That's one of them. Yeah.
Melissa Crenshaw 11:37
So they get the medicine. It makes them like a zombie so that they can sit still so everybody else can be happy.
Bri Hurlburt 11:46
I know a few people as adults who take this so they can go to work and focus.
Melissa Crenshaw 11:51
Wow, yeah.
Bri Hurlburt 11:53
Otherwise, it's just crazy. They want to eat all the time, or they want to do certain things like that, and can't focus on what they're doing so they'll take it so they're really subdued and can focus on their work.
Melissa Crenshaw 12:02
Yeah, so homeopathy can help. It takes time.
Bri Hurlburt 12:06
That is so encouraging to people. I hope there's some people who this is just a new option for you.
Melissa Crenshaw 12:12
Yeah. So just know if you're an adult, it takes time because you're older. The longer you've had the thing, then the … I'm sorry. I am distracted.
Bri Hurlburt 12:24
What do you keep seeing out there?
Melissa Crenshaw 12:27
My puppy took off towards the woods about five minutes ago. He was chasing something and I was like uh-oh. I've watched Paul standing right here and call for him and call for him and call for him. And he hasn't come. So then Paul went and jumped on the 4-wheeler and as soon as he got like right here where I could see him, here comes Trigger.
Bri Hurlburt 12:48
Here comes Trigger. Of course. Somehow the 4-wheeler sounds fun.
Melissa Crenshaw 12:53
Yeah. I'm wondering what he took off after. I hope he finds out. It’s so interesting. Living out here in the country is so interesting. All the things that we see.
Bri Hurlburt 13:04
I bet. I can’t wait. One day we'll be out in the country.
Melissa Crenshaw 13:07
Yeah. All right. I'm sorry. I love being outside so I'm sitting here looking out a window where I really would love to be. It's cold out there. Okay. And I do not have ADHD.
Bri Hurlburt 13:27
I didn’t even think of that. That's very ironic.
Melissa Crenshaw 13:30
Okay. They crave sweets. And they're worse for sweets. They can't handle the sweets. It makes them so much worse. And they crave them. They are better at the ocean. You'll notice these kids, or even adults, when they're at the oceanside, or you know, at the beach is what we call it here, they feel better. They're calmer. They might sleep better. They might focus better.
Bri Hurlburt 14:04
That’s every person, I feel like.,
Melissa Crenshaw 14:06
Oh, I know. Well, you would think. Some people, yeah …
Bri Hurlburt 14:09
Some people really don't so I shouldn't say that, but
Melissa Crenshaw 14:12
I don't have hot flashes when I'm at the beach. None at all. I know.
Bri Hurlburt 14:18
Come visit whatever you want.
Melissa Crenshaw 14:19
I should move there.
Okay. They crave stimulation. They need that. They need all of the video games and the videos and the screens.
Bri Hurlburt 14:29
That sensory stuff.
Melissa Crenshaw 14:30
The what?
Bri Hurlburt 14:32
The sensory stuff.
Melissa Crenshaw 14:34
Yeah. All the things. They crave it. They need that stimulation. They love loud music, hard rock and dancing. That reminds me of one of yours says, “Turn it up, mommy. Louder, louder.”
Bri Hurlburt 14:44
Play it bursting loud. .
Melissa Crenshaw 14:51
They're happier when they're stimulated. They really, really need it and love it. These older people like smoking and drugs for stimulation. They'll use those things for the stimulation. This takes all the normal childhood emotions to the extreme, this remedy. I don’t mean that the remedy makes that but it's like I said, they wildly swing with their emotions and everything. They are extremely in love or attracted to animals or extremely mean to animals. They can be both. They can really love animals, but then kind of be …
Bri Hurlburt 15:35
Still be mean?
Melissa Crenshaw 15:36
Not like total torture, I've seen this. But like, “Let me see what they'll do if I …” Just little things. They don't want you to see them doing it. They’ll look. They know they shouldn't be doing whatever they're doing. Just a little bit of torture, you know, not …
Bri Hurlburt 15:59
Or maybe to like little brothers or little sisters. I'm just kidding. I don't know if that's a real thing.
Melissa Crenshaw 16:06
If they're both and they really do love the animals, but they can be kind of mean to them, or they might just be really extremely mean to animals. They can be really cruel to animals. They can be extremely timid and shy or very aggressive and mean, so one or the other, or they could swing wildly between the two states. Fitful and unstable nature. They might have warts and moles. They have lots of growths. Remember Medorrhinum is an overproduction, so they have growths. They have warts and moles and freckles and skin tags and polyps, fibroids. They have all these growths inside and out.
They crave salty and sweet foods.
They have a lot of fears. They think someone is looking at them through their window in the dark.They might seem spaced out and wild. They have a tendency towards asthma. They might sleep in the knee and elbow position, butt pointing to the ceiling. You know what I mean?
Bri Hurlburt 17:25
Like curled up on their bellies kind of, but their butt’s up in the air, like that little baby position.
Melissa Crenshaw 17:35
Yeah, mm-hmm.
They can have sensitive feet that hurt a lot or they can't stand for their feet to be touched. I'm laughing because I have a friend who cannot stand for her feet to be touched.
Bri Hurlburt 17:52
It’s extreme, too. People like that.
Melissa Crenshaw 17:55
Uh-huh. I used to aggravate her and just be like, like touch them.
These children don't grow well. Their mind might be dull and weak. They might have a poor memory, problems learning in school. So the kid who is hyperactive, their parents might have lots of warts and discharges and chronic, recurrent sinus infections or vaginitis so you always ask, get the whole history. The family history is important in our case taking process. There might be a history of arthritis in the family, alcoholism in the family. Parents who were very promiscuous, maybe slept around a lot before marriage or whatever. Family who did a lot of drugs, and maybe their parents did a lot of drugs or their brothers or sisters. They might have panic attacks. And they don't care who knows who they really are. They're not trying to hide their behaviors and their things.
Bri Hurlburt 19:17
So something I feel like I want to say because it's been helpful as I've learned. In general, when we talk about remedies and sometimes we say these really weird things. Like to have sensitive feet that don't like to be touched. I have found that those things have always seemed super weird until you get a person or take a case or something or you're the one feeling something and you say something very specific like that. So you might not have … not everyone … some of those random things, they might not have those at all. But then you might get a person here and there who says that super weird, random thing and that fits exactly to a remedy. It happens more often than I've expected where people use words or phrases that I'm like, “Oh my word, I remember learning that remedy and thought that was so strange or so specific. And it really is a thing.”
Melissa Crenshaw 20:15
Okay. So when somebody says something very specific like that, and then it triggers your memory and you're like, wait a minute, I remember learning about that. Then if you've kept good notes, you can go to your notes and search that word, that phrase.
Bri Hurlburt 20:29
That's the problem that I’ve had. Yes, take good notes you guys. Seriously, do the notes because it took me too long.
Melissa Crenshaw 20:35
Yeah, get it all somewhere. Google Docs or OneNote or whatever.
Bri Hurlburt 20:42
Yep. .
Melissa Crenshaw 20:45
All right. So,
Bri Hurlburt 20:49
Tuberculinum.
Melissa Crenshaw 20:51
Tuberculinum. Tuberculinum is also a nosode. It's made from the sputum of a patient with tuberculosis. They have a tendency to sore throats, colds, coughs and bronchitis. This hyperactive person has that tendency. It usually skips generations. There might be two sides to the personality so they can be very sweet and loving, and then be very mean and malicious. almost like a double personality. They're known for their obstinance. They're very obstinate. They're persistent. They do what they want to do, no matter what the consequences are. They're hard-headed. Stubborn. What are you laughing at Bri?
Bri Hurlburt 21:38
I'm just … these remedies make me laugh because I just think of my son that we talked about. I just see these in him and not in a bad way. He is not like a crazy kid but I'm sweetly thinking of these moments of my day where I'm like, “Oh, yeah. I know this. I know this person.”
Melissa Crenshaw 22:03
Yup. They might have malicious intent. Throw tantrums. They get mean and want to bite or throw things or break things with full intent. They are hyperactive at a very young age and have problems sleeping at a very young age. They can be capricious. Have lots of swollen glands, especially tonsils and adenoids. They might have nightmares or night terrors. They will have a tendency to hit their head and want to hit their head against the wall or the floor or something when they're mad. They might have a fear of dogs and cats. Have cat allergies. Cats disgust them. They might have night sweats. Emaciation with big glands. Tendency to grind the teeth at night while sleeping. Better in the mountain air, in the pine forest, and hot dry climates. So you always ask the person what climate they feel better in? Do they prefer the mountains or the beach is a great question to ask people. This can be families that have lived in lots of different places.
Bri Hurlburt 23:24
Not me. Yes, definitely. And you know what somebody to observe. Like my son won't be able to tell me, he might be able to now, “Oh, I feel great at the beach or the mountains.” But that's something I can observe.
Melissa Crenshaw 23:39
That's right. That's true. Observation. So this is also one, like Medorrhinum, where the grandparents might have … And Medorrhinum the grandparents might have had gonorrhea and Tuberculinum the grandparents might have had tuberculosis. And it's passed down from generation to generation. The whole family is restless and the child has never been able to form relationships with people. They always want something else. They can't figure out what will truly make them happy. They feel like they can't find what makes them happy.
They have a high metabolism so they're usually thinner. Doesn't mean that a heavier person doesn't need Tuberculinum, but they might be thinner. They eat often. They crave cold milk and ice cream and smoked meats. That's a big one. So your bacon, your ice cream, and your cold milk. The milk can be very bothersome to them. Maybe it hurts their stomach or makes them worse, but they still crave it. They have a tendency to get colds easily. Again, they're dissatisfied. Nobody knows what will please them. They don't even know what will please them. They have temper tantrums with great discontentment. They just can't be pleased.
Bri Hurlburt 25:02
It is just crazy to me how much of our health is genetic and I know this is kind of a rabbit trail, but I hear about my husband as a child and he was very similar. Even stuff like the Tuberculinum being a tuberculosis nosode and the tendency to have bronchitis and colds. They talk about that. When he was a child, he'd get croup all the time, or asthma as a child, and now he's totally fine. And now we have a couple of sons who are very prone to the same sort of things. So anyway, that's probably a whole other podcast we could do on genetics and things like that.
Melissa Crenshaw 25:47
Misams. So the genetic is your miasms. And yeah, I think we'll do a podcast. Have we not? We haven't yet on misams.
Bri Hurlburt 25:54
I don't think we have. I feel like that has to be like a series.
Melissa Crenshaw 26:03
Do you want to do Bacillinum?
Bri Hurlburt 26:07
Yeah, sure. So these are a few that we did not include … the next probably three or … there's several in here now that are different from the ADHD podcast. The first one is Bacillinum. What is this a nosode for? This is also a nosode. It says tubercular tubercular bacillus. So is that a different type of tuberculosis?
Melissa Crenshaw 26:32
Yeah, so Bacillinum and bacillus. If you're looking at a pharmacy and you want to buy Bacillinum, you might see it also as Bacillus, but it's a form of tuberculosis. .
Bri Hurlburt 27:00
Okay. So these people also, and this does make sense in that same vein, they may also have the tendency to get colds and coughs and sore throats, just like the Tuberculinum person. Give Bacillinum 30C every day to take away the tendency. You think? Once a day.
Melissa Crenshaw 27:23
Yeah.
Bri Hurlburt 27:24
It says also whooping cough or bronchitis. If they get that often and all of the other remedies aren't working, try Bacillinum 30C, so maybe the same sort of thing, to uproot that tendency.
Also, ringworm. And I'm assuming these mean chronically where you're dealing with these issues a lot, as well as the hyperactivity.
Melissa Crenshaw 27:51
Yeah. Mm-hmm.
Bri Hurlburt 27:55
It covers tubercular meningitis, so you would use Bacillinum as a protocol for that acutely or is this also chronically?
Melissa Crenshaw 28:05
Yeah, acutely. Tubercular meningitis. Interesting.
Bri Hurlburt 28:11
Yeah, that sounds not fun.
Melissa Crenshaw 28:16
Tubercular meningitis, also known as … Oh, okay. Sorry. It’s the same. That is TB. Okay.
Bri Hurlburt 28:22
Oh, okay. I didn't know that either so you know what? Maybe there's a lot of people who didn’t. Maybe you did know. Again, these people have a constant disposition to catch colds and may have asthma. So that is Bacillinum.
Melissa Crenshaw 28:45
Tubercular bacillus. Tuberculosis and leprosy are bacterial diseases. Okay, blah, blah, blah. Alright. Tuberculosis … infectious disease that is caused by the tubercular bacillus. Okay. Okay. Bacillinum is taken from a different place. Tuberculinum is taken from the sputum and Bacillinum is taken from the bacillus.
Bri Hurlburt 29:41
So that does make sense that there's some overlap there.
Melissa Crenshaw 29:45
Yeah, absolutely.
Bri Hurlburt 29:46
And you can, I'm sure, look these up in the Materia Medica too and see if there's more specific differentials between the two for yourself.
Melissa Crenshaw 29:54
Oh yeah. You can definitely look in a Materia Medica just to know the difference. Bacillinum isn't a hugely used one. So anyway, there. We just did research right in the middle of the podcast.
Bri Hurlburt 30:09
Yup. Greah. Always learning new stuff.
Melissa Crenshaw 30:13
That’s right. Keeping it real. I can't keep all the things in my brain. You want to do Iodum?
Bri Hurlburt 30:20
Iodum is another one. Many of these … that’s not a nosode, is it?
Melissa Crenshaw 30:29
Nope. No.
Bri Hurlburt 30:31
So these hyperactive people may have a hyper-metabolism, so they're high metabolism. Hypermetabolic state, so they are full of energy and they need food to keep them going. They may have thyroid problems, specifically hyperthyroidism. They are hot blooded. Aggravated by not eating. We call this hangry. They need that food. Part of that's probably that metabolism and that appetite. They might eat a lot, but they burn it off, and then they're starving again. Because of that, they may not gain weight easily due to all that energy and the high metabolism.
Again, they have a tendency to those swollen glands and are very restless and hyperactive. They walk fast, like they're always in a hurry. That's funny. I know people like that. They walk fast and they talk fast. The Iodum person talks really quickly. Now I'm thinking I need to slow down and talk slowly.
If they're quiet, it could be a sign of anxiety. They have sudden impulses to run and maybe be violent. Everything is just revved up and fast. That reminds me of that like super, not twitchy is not the word I'm thinking of, but jerky behavior. Like you're just going from one thing to the next. Like a squirrel type deal. That's what I picture. Squirrely. I don't know if I added that. That might not be in the Materia Medica but that's what I think of when I think of that. They just run to the next place. They eat a bunch of food. Everything needs to be done super fast. I've never seen a squirrel do anything slow.
They have abundant energies, Iodum people, not squirrels. I mean, they do. But now we're back to Iodum. They have that ravenous hunger, are really thirsty, and get anxious and worry if they don't eat. They're just really irritable without food. Iodum is Iodine. It’s potentized Iodine. That is cool.
Melissa Crenshaw 33:07
Yeah, so that makes sense why it would be good for hyperthyroidism.
Bri Hurlburt 33:12
Yeah, that is interesting.
Melissa Crenshaw 33:15
Yeah. Weight gain. If you don’t gain weight.
Bri Hurlburt 33:21
I think we have a few more. Right. Yeah, hypothyroid is where you gain weight, right?
Melissa Crenshaw 33:33
Yeah, that's right. And hyper is you get thin. That's right. I've got my Materia Medica here and I'm just getting the names, like what these things are, in their whole form. Do you feel like doing Anacardium?
Bri Hurlburt 33:51
Anacardium is the marking nut, which I have no idea what that is. I've seen a picture. It's a nut. And we're talking about Anacardium orientale.
Melissa Crenshaw 34:01
Yeah, that's right.
Bri Hurlburt 34:04
Yes. There is another one. These people are generally very sick with really poor confidence and violent behavior. Anacardium is the main remedy for abused children, physically abused children.
Melissa Crenshaw 34:19
We have a podcast on that.
Bri Hurlburt 34:22
Yes. And these people are … Oh, you mean the abuse podcast. I was thinking about that. Yeah.
Anacardium people are worse from certain foods and better from eating certain foods, and it doesn't specify so that might be something when you are taking a case to just think about if they have really specific things.
Melissa Crenshaw 34:47
Right, if they just say …
Bri Hurlburt 34:47
These always make me feel better or these always make me feel worse.
Melissa Crenshaw 34:49
Yes, absolutely. Yep.
Bri Hurlburt 34:50
Yeah. Okay, and then Stramonium is next.
Melissa Crenshaw 34:56
That’s Jimson weed.
Bri Hurlburt 35:01
Jimson?
Melissa Crenshaw 35:02
Yup, Jimson weed. I have no idea what that is
Bri Hurlburt 35:04
Jimson weed. Stramonium people are similar to Anacardium but more violent. Has animal-like eyes. Does this mean they're just really intense?
Melissa Crenshaw 35:20
Yeah.
Bri Hurlburt 35:21
That's what I'm picturing. Kind of like they are possessed or might make animal noises. Now, they might not actually do that so you might have to … that's just the description. These people might hallucinate. They may fear dogs and be really scared of the dark. And they may see things, whether it's ghosts or spirits or monsters. This is also a night terror remedy, like when you go in and your kid is just totally freaked out at night. And we have used Stramonium for night terrors.
Melissa Crenshaw 36:01
You have?
Bri Hurlburt 36:00
Yeah.
Melissa Crenshaw 36: 02
So I was going to say, if you've ever seen a night terror, like when you go in there, because they're screaming, right? You get up out of your bed to go in there. They’re wide eyed and you think they're awake and you're like, “What is wrong?”
Bri Hurlburt 36:21
And they are like crazed. .
Melissa Crenshaw 36:25
Yeah, they are. And they usually happen around five to seven years old..
Bri Hurlburt 36:31
So I feel like reading these keynotes of it make it sound like this is a super freaky experience. I mean it is for a child but when you're saying hallucinates or sees things, we're not talking about an actual psychotic episode here. We're talking about a kid when they see things. They think they see a monster in their closet or they're totally in a dreamland, so keep that in mind. That is all for Stramonium. And we have one more. This one always makes me laugh that it's made … You can go ahead and do Tarentula.
Melissa Crenshaw 37:14
I lost my phone charger.
Bri Hurlburt 37:18
Because your phone is gonna die?
Melissa Crenshaw 37:20
No, we'll be okay. We’re almost done. All right.
Bri Hurlburt 37:21
Okay. So why did they call this Tarentula and not just tarantula? Like, it's so …
Melissa Crenshaw 37:27
Isn’t that weird. I don't know.
Bri Hurlburt 37:29
It’s almost tarantula.
Melissa Crenshaw 37:30
I wonder if that's like the real …
Bri Hurlburt 37:36
Oh, yeah, like the Latin word.
Melissa Crenshaw 37:41
Yeah.
Bri Hurlburt 37:43
I mean that makes sense. That's what every other one is. And we just in English say tarantula. We really got creative.
Melissa Crenshaw 37:51
Tarentula affects the nervous system greatly. This is severely hyper and your body cannot sit still. This is your drummers, your musicians, your dancers, your people that love music. A few times recently, I've been sitting … I've been at … Am I breaking up?
Bri Hurlburt 38:16
You did just break up some. I didn't want to interrupt you, but when you said the drummers and the dancers, right after that you broke up,
Melissa Crenshaw 38:22
Okay. Just recently I've been a few times in the same place and have seen these young people,they're younger than me, and their foot is just going. They're just sitting there and their foot is going. That's kind of the picture. There's something. These drummers. They just sit around and do the air drums. They're always moving. It's usually their foot or their leg. They're just constantly moving. That's the Tarentula nervous system.
They're hyperactive. Full of nervous energy. They can't keep still. This is extreme restlessness. They've got to keep in constant motion. They're very sensitive to music. They love it and they're moved by it. It gets them really excited. They're very clever. They're full of mischief and trickery. This remedy can help the person who maybe is at a hospice house. They’re in their last days, or their last hours, and it can help them just to be soothed and calm. Arsenicum can do that also. If they have a real fear of dying, Arsenicum can help them. As believers in Jesus, we're going to be focused on okay, let's get our comfort from the Lord, where there's no fear in dying and there's so much that we can do. Is she in labor? We both just got …
Bri Hurlburt 40:18
I know. Sorry, Kelsey. You're on the podcast. She’s not in labor.
Melissa Crenshaw 40:25
Okay. Um, yeah. So, anyway, that's wonderful. So how funny. This whole hyperactivity podcast, I was quite hyperactive. I was distracted the whole time.
Bri Hurlburt 40:41
I also was just thinking, too, we always like to add in other great little things to add into your life. Little baby steps or whatever. And I was thinking, as you were talking about the nervous system, for anyone, but especially for these ADHD/hyperactivity people, the people who struggle with that, seeing a good nervous system chiropractor.
Melissa Crenshaw 41:09
Ooh, yes.
Bri Hurlburt 40:11
They could very greatly help you. And it is different. So I'm not going to go into all that here, but you can google directories of nervous system specific chiropractors who help your body physically relearn how to regulate.
Melissa Crenshaw 41:28
I agree.
Bri Hurlburt 41:30
Yeah. Just something that crossed my mind I wanted to share.
Melissa Crenshaw 41:32
That's so good. Remember a few weeks ago when I had hives. I went to the chiropractor, and I said, “I have hives.” We had a death in the family. That was just a lot of extra stress and grief. And I didn't know if it was that or if I was having an allergic reaction. And he was like, “Alright,” so he checked me out and C3 was out and C3 affects the nervous system. Because C3 was out he was like, “It's nerves.”
Bri Hurlburt 42:03
That’s amazing. And it is great. Like, God just gave us so much, so many resources where these can, a remedy can help a ton. I have noticed in all of this moving and all of the stress of … you know all the things in our new life here, while it’s wonderful, I've noticed … I missed the chiropractor for a few weeks and I started feeling, like the days where I'm so overwhelmed and jittery. Of course, there is time with the Lord and though I take, I mean, I should and we were just talking about remedy options, but it also does help because your body even physically getting that little bit of an adjustment. It retrains.
Melissa Crenshaw 42:46
Yeah. So good. All right. That's hyperactivity.
Bri Hurlburt 42:54
And I'm excited. Next time we start our Materia Medica Mondays.
Melissa Crenshaw 42:58
Awesome. In two weeks we're starting Materia Medica Mondays and so, I don't know, every other Monday or something, we'll do a remedy where we really dig deep into the Materia Medica and see what kind of things that one remedy … Usually we do conditions and what remedies are good for that and that's awesome to have in your notes. But you also need to know your remedies. So Materia Medica Mondays is going to hopefully help you learn your remedies. Do we know what we're doing next week?
Bri Hurlburt 43:34
I think Cimicifuga. Is that how you say that?
Melissa Crenshaw 43:37
Right. Cimicifuga. Yes, Cimicifuga.
Bri Hurlburt 43:41
They're not all obscure remedies, I wouldn't say that, but the list of remedies we’re covering are remedies that we don't talk about as often, I've noticed.
Melissa Crenshaw 43:53
That's right. Yes. You know, I have my top 50 remedies on my YouTube channel. Go and find my playlist Top 50 Remedies and I go through quick, like two to maybe five minutes on a remedy that would be probably found in your top 50 kit. Some of these are going to be repeated but we're going to go into a lot more detail. So we'll see you next time.
