I had an opportunity to treat a book-picture case of convulsions with Tarentula Hispanica a couple of years ago. A child admitted at a referral hospital in the city of Belgaum was investigated for twelve days without arriving at any diagnosis. The parents were at their wits end as she continued getting 4 - 6 convulsions per day without any respite despite a half dozen `Specialists' attending to her. Being the daughter of a VIP, tensions ran high. Finally a visiting relative, also a homeopath suggested that the case be seen by me. It was7:30pm and I was not keen on travelling 200kms in the night at this time. I suggested that a mobile phone be used to record her next convulsion and the recording brought to me for viewing. I saw the mobile recording at 10:00pm. and knew instantly it was Tarentula- no questions asked. The drug was given in the 1M potency. 3 doses at intervals of 30 minutes followed by placebo. The recovery was remarkable. Next day at 11:30am she proclaimed she had recovered and wanted to go home. The attending doctor's opinion was taken and she was discharged. She is asymptomatic today after two and a half years!! This is why:
