Clinical experiences

• the prescription was based on the effect of the Kali iod to cause fibroids and glandular atrophy (history of nodular goitre, endometrial hyperplasia, atheromas, atrophic mammary glands), Essence (anxiety, restlessness, desire for activity), and the ability of the remedy to cause nocturnal palpitations and hot flashes. But since the patient is sensitive, the 30CH potency was chosen. The outcome was a betterment in all levels with the relapse of the suppressed vaginal thrush and constipation and an ability to raise high fever again
• Kali iod was chosen on the basis of affinity to the knee joints (pathology symptom strategy), keynote symptoms (better with cold applications), and the totality of symptoms. Due to the patient’s strong constitution, the allopathic suppression did not cause disturbances in health, and the remedy produced a lasting positive effect. Taking into account the data of MRI and arthroscopy (joint tissue proliferation), the patient was at risk of needing joint prosthetics due to the progression of arthrosis. The remedy was able not only to improve the condition of the joint while maintaining the quality of life of the patient, but there was also no need for arthroplasty.
