VOG gases

Question: Aloha Dr Luc Here on Maui we are exposed to VOG: gases coming
out of Kilauea Volcano: 1700 tons of Sulphur dioxide per day, in addition
to some mercury and lead. At various times we experience different
symptoms, but almost always we get respiratory problems first, tiredness,
low muscle tone with incontinence, falling out of hair, etc Every child in
my son's class missed at least 2-3 weeks of school this last winter with
voginduced bronchial cough which never really goes away completely because
as soon as they got over their infection it gets voggy again and their
respiratory tract is irritated again. I am at my wits end, my son (SPD) is
sensitive to start out with and I would like to be better prepared for
this coming vog season. We have a remedy made by David Little , a
homeopath who has been practicing primarily in India in the last few
years. It is called Pele HI and was made from vog at the vent where it
comes out of Kilauea. It comes in different potencies. It works, but
people get sick over and over again. Since the composition of chemicals in
vog has changed since it was originally made, with a substantial increase
in Sulphur, shall we even give this remedy? What do you think about using
this remedy since we are working with 'the same substance' to treat. (If
the Pele HIdoesn't work we treat symtoms as they show themselves with
respective remedies).
However , overall it is quite frustrating trying to keep us healthy under
these circunstances and I am wondering if you have any new ideas? Best
wishes, Helga


Answer: Dear Helga! This is indeed a precarious siutuation as it induces
acute situations because of environmental factors (Aphoriosm 73, Hahnemann
calls it meteorological or telluric influences, sporadic acute diseases).
I know David Little and i have great respect for him. I can see he made a
nosode of this VOG condition and indeed this works sometimes although
thgis is more isopathy than homeopathy. Since moving away is not an
option, there are several things you can do or other people can do. For
instance in the case of your son: if you know his true constitution (not
the layer remedy) you can strengthen him with this constitutionnal remedy
outside of the season (now). It would be sufdficient to give him once a
month a 1M potency in water (and you can succuss each next time). A second
option is indeed what you say: you must treat the illness as it presents
with the indicated remedy. I am sure in many cases homeopathic Sulphur
could help. I even wonder if every year there is a slightly different
version: in that case we could treat it as an epidemic and get the
cardinal or main symptoms. Once they are known, these symptoms would
provide the indicated remedy. We do this every year with the flu epidemic.
If there is no change and one can determine the remedy in advance, then
one can give give a 200C of the "genus epidemicus" just before the season
starts (a 200C one dose a month would be enough) and this would be given
throughout this VOG season.
