ANAL FISTULA- FISSURE _{Page 22 of 195}

For Joe and Jacob

Dear Joe,
Thanks for the warning but you DID NOT UNDERSTAND MY POST CORRECTLY. I did not mean that I was going to take the Arnica Q internally. If you read my earlier post again carefully, you will understand that I was asking you something else. I was asking you to EXPLAIN THE PREPARATION OF ARNICA Q WITH COCONUT OIL which is to be applied externally.

1.Is Arnica Q available in liquid form? If yes, then is it to be mixed as it is (concentrate form) with coconut oil or does it have to be diluted first (if yes, then upto what level) and then mixed with the coconut oil?

2. What do you mean by '20% emulsion with coconut oil'? Do you mean I have to mix 1 part(20%) of Arnica Q with 4 parts(80%) of coconut oil?

Pls read my questions carefully and then answer. Thanks.

Dear Jacob,
Thank you so much for warning me. I DO NOT have any open sores or pimples etc. on my scalp and it is NOT a bald patch (thankfully, touchwood!!). Only the hair is thinning from a particular two inch dia area on the back of my head. I believe in the saying ' a stitch in time saves nine'....that is why I want to take care of my hair while I still can.

So do you think it is still not safe for me to apply the mixture of Arnica Q with coconut oil on the affected area on my head? I do not communicate privately with Joe, all communications are here in the open. Thanks

Regards to both

I posted a reply to both Joe and Jacob last night. Not once but twice. But it seems it hasn't got published. Is something wrong with this site???

Dear Mega.

As long as there is no broken skin (which of course should have been inquired into before making the recommendation), there is no danger. However, whether or not such a therapy is actually beneficial, is another matter entirely.

Best wishes.


-Jacob.

Hi Joe,
I am just reporting the progress of my wife's fistula. If you remember from 3 weeks ago (page), my wife had to go into the OR 4 times during last year. So after taking the correct dose of Silicea and Arnica (she was taking 1 tablet twice a day instead of 2) the fistula has dramatically improved. The fistula opening became very small, a little pus coming out of it, and best of all very little pain for short period of time after bowmovements. Now, the pus is coming out of the opening left by the seton which the surgeon put in there for 8 months before the fistula reoccured. It seems to be taking very long time for this opening to heal and close completely.
I just ordered another 80-tablets of Silicea for her and I wonder for how long she will have to take the tablets for? And one more thing, cause we ran out of Silicea tablets for a couple of days last week, the amount of pus increased just little bit and I wonder if she continue the same dosage that you described to me before?

Your wife's progress is quite normal as you can read from the records of others on this thread, and was expected.

2 tablets of the Silicea 6x is the dosage and you can reduce it to just one later when there is no pus exuded for a week and then discontinued.

If as I understand the seton is still in situ, it it time to have it out and your surgeon may be in for a surprise when he discovers the progress of her fistula which would have been due for another surgical adventure shortly, judging by the fact that she has had only 4 previous visits to the OR.

It is remarkably how surgeons love to use their talents to make a bad situation worse and are finally compelled to advise the patient to use a colostomy bag for life thereafter.

She is also advised to take Nat Phos 6x after a meal to keep the pH of the gut at acceptable levels which is also part of the therapy.

I note with some concern that you have not confirmed that she is using the Antibiotic Ointment internally after each BM. This is all an integral part of the therapy I have pioneered for a successful cure of this problem that affects about 7% of mankind.

She will have to take the Arnica 30c in just one dose for life even after she is cured.

Dear Joe,

Could you also read my query posted above to you and answer my question regarding Arnica Q ?
Regards

To Megastar

I cannot understand the reason for your query about using the 20% emulsion with Arnica Q with either Coconut or Olive oil.

I have never suggested that the Arnica Q be diluted in any of my posts with advice on other threads pertaining to Hair Loss and you are advised to read them for advice of the therapy that I have used successfully in many cases.

It is best to confine your ailments to the respective threads as this pertains to Fistulas.

Dear Joe,
The only reason I brought up the hair loss issue in this thread about fistula was to clarify whether both the treatments can be taken simultaneously or not and so that you know the complete history of a patient.

And since you were kind enough to suggest 20% Arnica Q mixture with coconut oil here, I merely asked you for some clarifications on Arnica Q and the method of its mixture with the coconut oil.

But like before, instead of simply answering my question and putting the matter to end you start looking for reasons why I asked you the questions. Let me assure you that I have no hidden agenda here. Being a total layman and not knowing whether Arnica Q was liquid or tablet and whether by '20% emulsion' you meant mixing one part Arnica Q and four parts coconut oil....I asked you those questions.

But since you prefer not giving a straight answer to the questions asked, I won't ask you again. Thanks for your time.

Warm Regards

Hi there I have what seems to be a re-ocuuring Anul fistula. I have had a flare up of hemroids which is now beginning to regres and shrink. On my perinium I have a little whole that keeps re-opening with a small amount of blood leakage every two to three weeks. At present my doctor says its an infection. After three months of this cycle I and a telephone consultation with a locum doctor she seems to think it could be a minor fistula.. The pain builds up and when the small whole reopens the pain goes. I have been reading this forum and hope you can support, I see I can purchase the required advice. Culd you please tell me what sort of
Arnica as I see there are different kinds to purchase, and how often I take the arnica and Silicea a day

Could you also point me in the direction to purchase the Antibiotic Ointment which is used after every BM and keeps the bacterial count in the area low and can I get this of my Doctor. At present I am using aloe vera Gel for the fistula, herbal valarian to keep me nice and calm. I take flaxseed oil every day and fibre to keep my BM soft

I would appreciate your support and thank you in advance

hi there everybody! i've suffered with anal fistula for 1 year & a half. first i had an abscess on the perianal which appeared 4 weeks after the birth of my daughter. after seeing various doctors for 2 months, giving me antibiotics etc, i finally couldn't take the pain no more and went to a & e where they admitted me and drained the abscess under general. i then had the cavity packed for 1 month, thinking this would be the end of it, but puss still kept on coming. i was then told i had a fistula. they took me in for an op 6 months later (great the nhs) to see where it went to, & they couldn't, so they then referred me to an 'expert'. well that was in dec '05 and i have just had a seton fitted last week (as i did not want the risk of being left incontinent by letting them lay the fistula open). but i now feel worse than ever because i have an open would on the inside of my buttock where the seton is fitted, and i think i now have pus coming from my vagina. although the original fistula seems to be completely dry!! i feel i've been through all his for nothing and wish i had not let them cut me. now joe i've been reading your remedies and how it's helped people, but also jacob, is it? you seem to be contradicting his methods, saying homeopathic remedies should be individualized. where i thought could be hope, i am now deeply confused with who to believe & what to do. i am still very sore & miserable from the bloody op. can anyone please help. would be most grateful & forever in your debt. lol sarah uk :)

Hi Joe,

I have fistula for now almost 3 months now. Suton was put and then removed by the surgon who after observing that the Pus is still oozing out suggested for another Operation. I never went back to him again.

I have been taking the following:

1.Arnica 30C - 1 teaspoon twice daily.

2.Silicea 6x - 2 tablets thrice daily. (Since last one month I am taking 3 tablets thrice daily.)

I must say that as soon as I started the treatement, I could see the improvement. The abscess reduced and so did the amount of Pus and pain....Thanks to You!

BUT....now even after the 3 months of treatement and after increasing the Silicea 6x dose to 3tabs from 2tabs thrice daily....still the little Pus and Pain is there.
When will it completely stop? If it will completely stop? Pls, suggest.

To Summary

It is possible that the reason for your abscess not healing as it should have done is because you have not used the antibiotic ointment to disinfect the lesion which get reinfected with every bowen movement.

Please follow the instructions I have given many time above on the procedure.

This should fix it in a few days when you should discover that the pus flow ceases.

I would recommend that you stay with just 2 Silicea as 3 may cause other problems like the breast lump of a patient which may or may not be due to the Silicea.

To Overanxious

Please do not worry about your Fistula/Haemorrhoids problem. Do NOT resort to surgery.

Please read the many posts on this thread and get the Arnica Montana 30c. As for the Antibiotic Ointment, I am sorry that I cannot help you except to tell you that you will have to persuade your doctor to write out a prescription for it.

We will treat your problem as a Fistula with the standard therapy but if it does not help we will treat it as Haemorrhoids.

Thank you so much for your valuable time. I am in gratitude

Two questions If I may?

1 Shall I just begin the Arnica or do you suggest I take Silicea also?

2 I am using Bio active Aloe gel which seems to keep me very clean around that area. There has been a tiny weeny little bit of pus and just a little more blood. Will it be ok to continue this until I can acquire antibiotic gel?

I appreciate you very much

Kind regards

1 Suggest you use the Arnica 30c and the Silicea 6c concurrently in the manner I have prescribed which you will see has helped many who have confirmed the success of this therapy.

2 Continue with the Aloe Gel which has helped you. Aloe is a specific for Haemorrhoids and may even help if your problem is either.

3 If you suffer from constipation you are advised to also take Nat Phos 6x to soften your BM.

No Coffee and Alcohol.
Also do not wipe with dry toilet paper.

To Sarah

I can see that you have a big problem with your Fistula which you state is now showing an exit through your Vagina. Quite frankly I have never treated a case like yours ever before but I presume that the standard therapy I have used for Fistulas should hopefully help you.

You will have to watch out for urinary infections and perhaps worse as the pus exuding from your vagina is loaded with all the choice bacteria. If you have any problems in this regard and get a temperature, you must take an antibiotic like Amoxyl or equivalent immediately.

In the meanwhile the therapy that I have advised others who have used it successfully as you can read on this thread, should hopefully hold good for you too.

Arnica 30 in the wet dose 1 teaspoonful twice daily
Silicea 6x dose 2 tablets 3 times daily
Nat Phos 6x if you are constipated.
Antibiotic ointment to be inserted into anus as recommended.

I would like you to use it inside your vagina but hesitate to advise you to do so for fear of other problems. You are advised to consult your Gynecologist for further advice. The idea is to keep both the anus and the vagina as sterile as possible.

No Coffee and Alcohol and No wiping with dry toilet paper.

Do not worry. You will be healed sooner than you think. Never mind others who wish to show their oneupmanship. They do not impress me.

Joe, can I use calendula ointment instead of antibiotic ointment? The antibioti seems to cause itching and also rawness around my anus. I cannot get Polyfax in the US.

To Julianna

You certainly can use Calendula ointment but it cannot replace an antibiotic ointment. If the one you are using causes itching, get another formula. Dozens are avaiable but you may have to get a prescription from a doctor to buy it.

It occurs to me that your report of itching due to an antibiotic ointment is indeed rare. I wonder if you are using dry toilet paper to wipe after a BM which can abraid the inner and outer surfaces of the anus and cause the itch.

Joe, I wipe with toilet paper once then switch to babywipes. It is indeed raw 'down' there. It even bled a little from the raw spots. I should probably use babywipes only. I will try that.

I was wondering if the treatment is any different when I have only an anal fissure with no blood or pus . I have had this about a month - never had one before or hemorroids except when I was pregnant thirty years ago. I agree that the hard stool was the reason since my fissure came on after taking some immodium when I was on a long trip to keep from having any sudden bouts of loose stool -- a problem I have had off and on for 10 years and moving in a car often will cause it to happen. Several days later I had a very hard stool and admit that I really strained to get it out. (This is very unusual for me since I tend to have loose stools several times in the morning.) Now the burning and pain has been recurring. I started taking the silicea and arnica yesterday but was wondering if the treatment is at all different if you are not expelling pus. I have used homeopathy for years but wasn't sure which one to use. I have only 30C dosage of both the silicear and arnica pellets. Is this too much? (I have read all of the previous posts but I wasn't sure if a fistula is that different from a fissure.)

To Julianna

Yes use the baby wipes and also smear the antibiotic ointment on the skin immediately around the anus after every BM.

To Perl

You do not want the Silicea as the Arnica 30c and the Nat Phos 6x should be sufficient. The antibiotic ointment is essential inserted inside after ever BM.

Interesting your using Immodium to ensure that you do not have a loose stool. Haven's heard this before.

Take the Arnica in the wet dose.

Report response in a week.

Dear Joe,
Here is the latest report on my fistula after having taken your prescription for approx. 20 days now, with all the precautions recommended.

The abcess has drained twice since I started this treatment. Currently, the abcess is almost closed and dry but I can feel a lump in that area and it is currently very painful. This has been the cycle in the entire 3-4 year history of this fistula. It becomes painful when puss builds up inside and the pain eases after drainage. Are we moving in the right direction?

Regards

Your report of the fistula draining is good news and what I would like you to do is to promote this drainage daily by physically massaging the tender spot with your finger to ensure that there is no closure of the duct which is draining the abscess. You would have noticed that the pain is reduced immediately after you find it discharging and this is the time to start the drainage therapy.

Remember to drain the abscess from inside downwards. Gentle pressure may be required to do so successfully.

Dear Joe,

Thanks for the reply. Will do as told and continue to give you my reports at regular intervals.

Regards
