desparate to help my son

Hi, I'm new here and really need help.
I have triplets (2 boys and girl)2years 8 months old.
2 of my kids are fine.
One of the boys has been diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy at 7 months of age (they were preemies, almost 34 weeks), had open heart surgery at 9 months, has GERD and now we've found out that somehow he lost his hearing too...
I'm just trying to discribe whats going on in general with him in case if it helps with advice.
His acid reflux is the biggest problem. Nothing seems to work. We've tried zatac, prevacid, prilosec, even reglan last year, gaviscon... you name it.
Zantac works (somewhat) for 1-2 months until he develops resistance and than we need at least 3 weeks on something else to be able to go back on zantac. NOTHING that we've tried gave him relief. He is fussy, has problems with solids (oatmeal cereal and cream of wheat if in a mood), rest will gag and if I persist,he'll vomit.
I give him Nutren jr, he didn't take to pediasure.
He is constipated and if i don't give him milk of magnesia (10-12ml) he won't go and his vomithing will get worse.
Coughing, laughing seem to triger it too. Sometimes he'll start coughing in his sleep and if I'm not fast enough to pick him up he'll vomit.
If I don't act quick enough( sucction) , he can aspirate and that creates another roller coaster (spasm, bronchites) I have a nebuliser at home with albuterol. Don't use it often.
He has a very poor sleep, will wake up at 2-4 am (goes to sleep around 9pm) and might stay awake until 10 am. Will nap for 1-2 hours.
I give him melatonin now (1mg) because I'm desparate for sleep too and exhausted beyond words. We have a GI doctor who tries to help, but I'm the one who's managing his health. I get lot of pep talk and patting on shoulder with no much real help or suggestions. We had upper GI (done incorrectly by resident as I found out later) and after that my sons feeding is even worse than before (emotional trauma?).
So, I would really appreciate any advice i can get.
Thank you

To Jewish Homeopath:
I'm sorry, but it looks like you haven't read my post (ABOUT MY CHILD), or it's some kind of joke.
If you can't help, please don't spam.
Thank you
 
richaalin last decade
I did read your message. With homeopathy we need much more information to give accurate advice. The more information the more accurate we can be.

Most people fill out the questionaire so that we can identify the remedy correctly. Sorry this questionaire isn't written for children, but as always the more info the more help we can be.

Information such as reactions to weather, diseases in the family history (parents and grandparents) are very valuable.
 
Homeopathy International 1 last decade
Please give him Phosphorus 30c thrice a day at a gap of 4 hours for only one day (not daily) and see how he responds in the next 10 days.

One dose means
If the medicine is in pills form 2 pills. Don't touch pills with hand. Use cap of bottle to take pills.
If the medicine is in liquid dilution form, 1 drop in some 10 ml water. Sip up slowly.

Please follow homeo restriction ie don't eat or drink anything within 15 minutes before or after taking medicine.
 
kadwa last decade
Dr.Kadwa,
I again appreciate your sensibality,the commonsense is the first and foremost thing in every walk of life.
 
bapu4 last decade
Dear richaalin,
You will definitly see a comforting of you child,Dr.kadwa's selection of remedy is very good.I must tell you since you seem to be new to homeopathy and this forum,selecting a remedy(medicine in common man's language) is a million dollar job,this is not standard path like allopathy,there are atleast 1000 medicines to be chosen from.Based on the picture you described the most approproate remedy is given by Dr.kadwa and give it to your son and see the comfort to your son.
 
bapu4 last decade
Dr. Kadwa and Bapu4,
Thank you very much! I'm trying to find phosphorous in liquid form, since he can't take pills. I have a question: can I use his Nutren Jr instead of water? He doesn't like water and doesn't drink it. If I can't that I'll have to give it with dropper few drops at the time.
Thank you again, I appreciate your care!
 
richaalin last decade
dear richaalin,
i am not aware of nutren jr.
one spoon of water should'nt be
a rpoblem,however you pl. wait for dr.kadwa's responce.
 
bapu4 last decade
dear richaalin,
i dont know which part of globe you belong to but the pills of these remedies are very small just like 'sabudana' or 'jowar'
if by chance you know hindi language.or 1/10 th size of pea nut or you can give him by dissolving one pill in spoonful
of water,if one pill is dissolved,it will taste sweet 'cause pills are made from sugar,you can also give in liquid form if pills are not available,the procedure shall be same..even then you wait for dr.kadwa,this was to passify your anxiety.god bless your child.
 
bapu4 last decade
Dear bapu4,
Thank you so very much for your kindness!
I'm in USA and already have ordered liquid form of phosphorus 30c as it was suggested.
Nutren Jr. is a high calories drik, that I've found here. He likes it and it helps him to gain weight (he is now 22 pounds-10 kilos approximately)
I'm new to homeopatic medicine, however, I'm all pro 'naturalistic' approach. I did try accupuncture (2 times) and it was a disaster, we almost ended up in hospital (he was vomiting violently). We go to chiropractor and I see some changes with his mobility (crawling, and now trying to cruise), but his reflux is the biggest dilemma.
My personal thinking is that the problem is his overall spastisity and not so much acid refluc itself. Most of his symptoms (delayed gastric emptying, constipation) indicate it too.
It's just I haven't been able to find anyone aroung here who would really care enough to help.
Once again I really appreciate your help, support and kindness. God bless you.

dear richaalin,
be assured,homeopathy is the only pathy which promises solutions to ur child's problems,pl. don't waste your money with these allopaths,you must have emptied your bank balance,now see how homeopathy will improve your child.pl.have patience and if you get some free time some time pl. read 'leadear's in therapeutics,author-e.b.nash,you will get an idea how hopeless cases are cured,and he is not the only author whohas solved such cases but there are numerous examples if you read various books by various authors,leave aside that but i have my personal experience also of similar lines.
this pathy you know takes human emotions into account,your fears,loves,hates,lonings,loathing etc,tell me which pathy considers all this,i am highly hopeful ur son will be comforted to a great extent,this only start,ur apprehension about spasticity is correct and dr.kadwa knows it he will come to that eventually just continue with faith.o.k.!!!
 
bapu4 last decade
dear richaalin,read longinga in place of 'lonings'.by the way
what is 'chiropractor'.
 
bapu4 last decade
Dear bapu4,
Once again, thank you!
I have to continue, as giving up is not an option for me.
I have to try, because I truelly believe that you can't cure an ilness without looking at body as whole. That's why I'm here now.
Best definition of chiropracto is found here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiropractic
Wasting money is only a part of a problem. I'm emotionally wasted too, the only thing that keeps me going is my stubborness I guess :).
I can't even begin to describe what we've been trough, but trust me if I say all the way to hell and back...
I hope and pray that I'm in a right place and I can get help for my baby who suffers so much in many different ways.
Thank you.
 
richaalin last decade
dear richaalin,
ya,you are correct,i missed to mention the damage emotional part that is main in fact,you will have to remain a fighter,a mother is always like a tigress when its about defending her cubs,god will always be with you.
 
bapu4 last decade
Dear Dr.Kadwa and bapu4,
Today I finally got phosphorus 30 c in liquid form.
I'll start tomorrow, as I have to have 8 hrs apart, and I want to be correct on schedule.
I'll post updates as we go.
One more thing: his doctor has called me and said that according to his last urine analisys his urine organic acids one of them (Methylmalonic Acid) in constantly elevated and she wants us to have a blood test for acylcarnitine. As I understand it's a form of Vit.B12 deificiency (metabolic disorder), so we'll be going for blood test on Monday.
I don't know how relevant it is, but I thought I should mention it.
Thank you.
I'll update as we go.
God bless.
 
richaalin last decade
Dear Dr. Kadwa,
It's been over 10 days since I gave my son phosphorus 30 c as it was adviced.
He didn't have any major vomiting, but still has daily spit-ups and in belching a lot. His appetite is not good. His bowl movement was very poor over first 3 days after giving him the remedy, and still is not regulated.
His blood test came normal (Thank God).
What should I do now?
 
richaalin last decade
Please give him one pellet each of the following tissue salts thrice a day at a gap of 4 hours for 7 days and report back.
natrum phos 6x
kali mur 6x

Please observe homeo restrictions.
 
kadwa last decade
Dear dr, Kadwa
Thank you very much for your promt answer.
I ordered both remedies today and will start as soon as they arrive.
I have a different question and would really appreciate if you could answer it.
As I mentioned before, my son has lost his hearing after an open heart surgery (june 2008). We didn't know wbout it untill january 2010 (it would NEVER cross my mind that it could happen...)
So, we tried using hearing aids with no much difference (he is almost comletely deaf) we will be evaluated at the end of august for surgery to have digital implants in his cochleas.
Is there anything that could be done to help his hearing?
Thank you very much.
God bless.
 
richaalin last decade
The homeo remedies like Pulsatilla, Phosphorus etc. cause overall improvement in the symptoms of the patient if these remedies are well indicated. Thatswhy JewishHomoepath was asking you to give all his (your child's) symptoms. On the basis of the symptoms reported by you i thought that Phos was indicated. No one can promise cure of complete deafness by homeopathy but let us see how he responds overall in the time to come.
 
kadwa last decade
Dear Dr. Kadwa
We have completed the course with salts. The only difference I see is that his appetite is lot better in a first half of a day (until 3-4pm), after which is less and less. I gave him salts first 2 days at 12pm, 4pm and 8 pm, which apparently caused some colics or spasms, I'm not sure. He would wake up at 1 am and cry until 3 am with spasms.
Than I changed time to 8 am, 12 pm and 4 pm, and he slept without waking up with pain.
Still has spit-ups and belching. Bowel movement is the same as before (on and off constipated)


If you don't mind my opinion, I think his symptoms are due to overall spastisity more than acid reflux itself. He has muscle spasms in his body too (mainly limbs) on and off. He is able control his mobility (he is cruising now).

My son's symptoms are:
Difficulty eating (especially when is not feeling good), he'll gag and spit-up. I have a hard time giving him solids, one day he may eat oatmeal, next day same oatmeal will make him gag and vomit.
He used to be VERY colicy, it's much better now, but I have to be very careful with any new food, because even tip of a spoon of egg in a morning will cause lot of discomfort and pain in evening or night.
He can't talk, so he can't tell me how he feels, I just know him so well, that i can see his facial expression and tell what's going on.
Hot weather makes him generally more uncomfortable and fussy, he can even have a fever if I don't cool him down.
He gets easely tired.

I have to mention that I do have medical education, so you can ask any question that i miss in his symptom discrpition. With no offence to Jewish Homeopath, i haven't met many doctors or other health professionals here (USA) that care about patient before their money, not to say that all alternative medicine here is rediculosly expensive.

I appreciate your help and care.
Thank you

Please give him a single dose of Phosphorus 200c for only one day (not daily) and see how that affects him in the next 15 days.

One dose means
If the medicine is in pills form 2 pills. Don't touch pills with hand. Use cap of bottle to take pills.
If the medicine is in liquid dilution form, 1 drop in some 10 ml water. Sip up slowly.

Please follow homeo restriction ie don't eat or drink anything within 15 minutes before or after taking medicine.

You may give him the tissue salts third day onwards of giving Phos 200, if you think that giving tissue salts should help him.
 
kadwa last decade
Dear Dr. Kadwa,
Thank you for your reply.
Is there any way I could titrate phos 30c that i already have? It will take at least 4-5 days to get phos 200c. PLease let me know if it's at all possible.
Thank you very much.
 
richaalin last decade
Please give three doses of Phos 30 for only one day as you have done earlier. Please procure Phos 200 and we will consider giving it after 15 days.

It is not possible to raise potency of a Homeopathic Remedy manually.

Please read the discussion on homeopathic dilution at the following link.

Dear Dr.Kadwa
Sorry, for long delay. First my mom had a surgery, than I got sick.

I didn't want you to think that that since my son is doing bettr I've forgotten about this site and your help.
I am VERY greateful!

I gave him 1 dose of phos200 and I do give him salts, but just 1-2 times a day.

He is doing LOT better, didn't have any vomiting, some belching here and there and seem to have better appetite. I'm still working on his solids itake, hopefully this will improve as well.

He is now cruising almost all day and that seem to help a lot with his gastric motility.
He still is constipated, I don't even know if he'll go without Milk of Magnesia(15 ml), but at least he is not miserable anymore.

So far I can't get the surgery done for his hearing improvement, but I'm working ot it as well.
Hi is delayed in his development (probably about 12 month old cognitively), so I still have lot of work to do. He is slowly changing.
Is there anything in homeopathic remedies that can help with that?

Once again thank you for your help and compassion.
Always greateful
Alina
