Remedy relations

Acute Calc	Calc is not acute remedy and in acute stresses converts to other remedies: If the Calc woman marry a violent drunkard, she can develop a Rhus-t state, tense, nervous and threat of being killed inside her own house. (Calc ₳ Rhus-t) When Calc goes to rheumatic problems, he goes to the Rhus-t phase. When a Calc person comes to the doctor from a Secure /Protected environment (Home), she may weep and ask for her protection, seek support and reassurance – so you have: “Narrating her symptoms aggravates”. This might seem like Puls, esp if we were to only notice the weeping and the seeking of consolation, while ignoring the nervousness and edginess at home.	In infectious processes, Bell is the best complementary remedy in acute conditions of Calc (Bell ₳ Calc) Bry and Calc are Similar but Inimical remedies. Both have the aversion to movement and the need for security and stability, and the “Fear of poverty”
Calc -Stram - Hyos Cycle	Calc is very similar to Stram in 70% of cases and Hyos in the remaining 30%. Stram is starring with fear and desperation Calc goes to Stram in stress and worry phase. When all attempts to seek protection fail, they become indifferent: “Sits and breaks pins the whole day”, “Indifferent about recovery”. If he loses the security of his home, he feels as if left alone in the wilderness, thus going into a Stram state which is that of an unprotected person out in the dark night, wanting to come home (Opposite to Calc who is the one inside the house and do not want to get out). (Calc ₳ Stram)	Hyos is worried and paranoid. (Calc ₳ Hyos)
Follow wells	After Calc you can give Lyc, Nux-v, Phos, Sil Calc is a good remedy after Nit-ac, Puls, Sul. Give Calc after Sul, esp when the pupils are dilated. Calc is good choice after Kali-bi in catarrh of the nose According to Hahnemann you should not give Nit-ac after Calc It is better not to give Sul after Calc. If you have to give a Lyc and then Sul Calc in children may need to be repeated Calc should not be repeated in elderly people, esp when the first dose is useful.
