| | Proving
Quercus Robur | | | |
| | This
proving was done in May-June 1996 in Bucharest by the ARADH group for Classical
Homeopathy. Our team is working from 1991 in promoting the classical homeopathy.
In 1995, in a discussion with Mrs Sue Crump from the London College
of Classical Homeopathy, she suggested us to do a proving of a new remedy. For
this proving we proposed three different mother tinctures and we sent them to
the Helios Pharmacy. The main chemist from Helios chosen one of the tinctures
and made dilution's. He sent us these dilution's. We received them in March 1996.
History. Quercus Robur is quoted in Clarke's Materia Medica, as a remedy
introduced by Burnett, who published in his Diseases of the Spleen a translation
of Rademacher's account of the remedy. Rademacher used the tincture of acorns,
and then dilution's. He did not a proving. He make only treatments.
Another
researcher, the German Ed. Bach, used red flower of the oak.
No proving, as
we know, was effective before our.
We
began to prepare the proving having a new discussion with Sue Crump, the main
supervisor. The Romanian main supervisor was A. Geo Savulescu MD .
We
don't know which mother tincture was chosen and we don't know the dilution, or
if there are blind tablets. We had only 16-een bottle's with pills and each bottle
had a number. This number became the number of each prover.
We had 9
supervisors and 16/een provers. The proving began at 6 May 96 for the majority
of the provers. At the beginning one of them refused to take pills (023). Two
provers began the proving only the 16-een May (925) and the 20 May (027)-Silvia
Gheorghiu, supervisor. Prover 023 refused to take part of the proving too late
to be changed. We had, at the beginning, 7 Male and 8 Female provers. Geo Savulescu
had symptoms without taking pills. At the end we put it in the proving as number(01X)
.
Prover nr. 032 stoped the proving the 0 day, she had o strong symptom.
For that we agreed that her mother will continue to take the pills. That means
the 9-th female prover.
Finally we had in the proving 8 female and 8
male.

Each supervisor received o book for his use and one for each prover. In each book
it was written at the bottom the Instruction for the provers.
Dear prover,
We thank you for your participation. You will see that this proving will be benefice
for you.
Before starting the proving. Check if you have your book note and
all the information you need. Your supervisor will answer if you have questions.
Note each day, before the proving will start, in your book all the symptoms
you have, or your relatives tell about.
Please, note in your book, the day,
the hour, and the minute you take each doses. The remedy will be taken twice each
day. In the morning and in the afternoon. Better is between 7-9 a.m. and 7-9 p.m.
Please, be attentive to avoid 30 minutes before and 30 minutes after taking the
pills to put something in your mouth, even water.
If you observe the presence
of a symptom, please , talk with your supervisor, and if it is really a symptom
stop taking pills. Note the symptom in your book.
By a symptom to be noted

your identity, it will be our secret.
We thank you for your collaboration
and for the time you spend with this proving. there is no matter to progress in
medicine, in homeopathy, without provings.
Each supervisor was instructed
twice. We decided, at the second meeting, to start the proving, for all provers,
the 6 May 1996.
The proving began the 6 May 1996. Two provers, 025 and
027, started later, the 14-een May, and 20 May.
There were no problems during
the proving.
We stoped the proving after 30 days. The prover 027 stoped the
proving the 20 June. We began to have discussions with each supervisor and them
brought their books. At the end of June 1996 all the material was collected.
We had a general discussion with all supervisors to decide which symptoms
had relevance for the proving. In September 1996 we succeed to have write down
all the symptoms. We had a discussion with Sue Crump and we had a new draw up
of the symptoms. We began the English translation and we had know that the remedy
is Quercus Robur.
We
started to treat some patients. (Geo Savulescu)
In nov.97, a girl of 2 was
at the interview. She had a pimple like eruption, with much itching, all over
the body. The face, the limbs, buttocks, thorax, abdomen, was fool of pimples.
She had this eruption from 1 year old, and no conventional treatment was effective.
The parents were in despair because they could not find a treatment,
I gave her Q.R. 7 CH, each day some drops in the morning till the eruption was
present. After 30 days I received a call from her parents. They said that the
eruption disappeared after three weeks of daily treatment. I advised to stop the
treatment. In 18.02.98, they called me again and their daughter was OK. No problem
till now.
I had other 7 patients treated with Q.R. that had anxiety
and hurry's. I gave them Q. R 7CH, daily, the morning, two weeks. They changed
in calm persons and they were no more in harry for anything. They were checked
one month.
