Post polio problems, inc RA

61 yr old white male, poor health since polio live vaccine led to polio. Short on one side, but coped with everything except school work. (was a bright promising pupil, then not)
Developed epilepsy as a result of polio, put on phenobarbs.

Stopped taking these in adulthood as few blackouts.

No further problems til adult, when started to get severe photophobic migraines, < tea drinking, also wine.


In 40's had a heart attack and was told he had furred arteries. Also diagnosed with possible anyeurism in brain.

After good homeopathic treatment, had become quite fit and healthy, when all at once, last year, started to complain of a sprained wrist. This did not improve, he became feverish each night, also if he napped in the day, lost weight and developed very hot swollen joints, < thumbs, wrists, knees and ankles. Diagnosed RA at turn of year.

Given Kali Iod and dramatically improved. This has now stopped working, in any potency.
No longer feverish, yet still chilly on hot days, cannot bend ankles, knees. In pain whenever he moves, but > after a walk and in evenings. Rhus Tox and Bry fail.
Quiet person, yet will talk to strangers if inspired. Can get very cross at trifles and things that don't seem fair. Has a sweet tooth and needs reminding to drink.
Occupation : Trades on Forex.

Any ideas anyone?

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Thuja may be considered.

This is a reasonably complex pathological case - it needs to be taken properly. Although there is a definite vaccine issue, Thuja is only one of many remedies for vaccinosis (and more specifically Thuja is for Ailments from smallpox vaccine).

Is the practitioner he originally saw no longer available to you?

Thuja has been taken on several occasions, with little improvement.
His original homeopath died aged 92 two years ago.
He has been to other homeopaths with only Kali Iod being effective for a couple of months. Has had Apis, Kali Carb, Tub, Polio nosode.

Interestingly Apis has had a good effect on his personal financial dealings, yet not on his physical symptoms.

Most recently this week, he has complained of a severe stabbing pain, in the area near spleen (?) i e just an ince or two from the sturnum, in between the last rib and the next one up. Possible hiatus hernia (?). This pain comes on a short while after eating and is > leaning forward.
He also has an inguinal hernia.

This is really an interesting proving !!!

His personal finances are an interesting indicator. Maybe he needs more time on Apis?
He has taken it in the 200c and more recently (last week) in the 1M.
Today he has a very stiff left knee, his feet are still swollen, though not as much as they have been in the last couple of months, he says he feels cold, yet it is quite warm out today.
He went for a walk yesterday as part of an ongoing exercise programme and got lost, thereby walking further than he wanted to, yet it was no more difficult at the end of the walk than it has been in the past.....
In my repertory it says Apis works slowly and to beware not to change the remedy too soon.
His previous financial problems have been that he swung from earning a great deal, then losing it through silly mistakes. He has been on the verge of bankrupcy for the last 10 years. Now, since Apis, he is showing a steady living.
Thoughts please?
His stomach/spleen/ribcage stabbing pains continue and he is still in a lot of pain when he moves around, especially climbing stairs.
He currently takes DLPA and omega 3. He has tried and rejected MSM, nutitional supplements and DLPA with turmeric.
He will not go near the doctor's medicines as his trust went from his childhood experiences. He just goes for diagnosis.

Has no one any thoughts on this? Please?

Please look foward Hsin Tao is like inner Qi Gong and very effective in post polio condition. Its master used to be very weak due to this condition and could improve through this thecnique.
