To Dr Nawaz Khan,
Thanks for your reply, whatever i used i took it from the posts of dr. pankaj verma as i've seen he was repeating same remedies for several patients and some new question he was giving the reference of same old post. i wasn't sure that it could be that dangerous since i see other peoples have posted their experiences with same protocol. but doc you made me afraid and worried same time. what should i do now? beside my condition (pilonidal cyst) is far better now with the grace of God. would you please elaborate on the topic what bases you analyzed that my case is spoiled?can you please explain that was wrong in my case?I'm going to stop any further medicine.
Thanks again. kindly reply ASAP. (homeopathic is not available in ksa,riyadh)

First of all thanks for your reply, yes i do suspect the remained pus because the cyst has shrinked to 60% but 40% is still remained, secondly while the time i get your reply (caution) about the remedies i already had took the hapar sulfuris 200c next day and another dose of silicea 200c next to that. so after completing the one week course of low dose silicea 6x i've took high potency doses as follows:

1 dose of silicea 200c on 21/1/2011
1 dose of hepar sulfuris 200c on 22/1/2011
1 dose of silicea 200c on 23/1/2011

now sir as you asked i've following homeopathic medicines available which i hardly manage to bought from Pakistan:

1- Myristica 30 (tab form)
2- Myristica Seb 200c (tincture form)
3- Belladona 30 (tincture form)
4- Calendula (tincture form)
5- Silicea 6x (tab form)

as per self medication, i did read several post regarding pilonidal cyst and during my vacation i visited Pakistan where i consulted one of very experienced hemeopathy doctor regarding my situation and he consulted me silicea, i asked his advise on myristica and he agreed quickly and said that also good and told me use belladona for pain while treatment and calendula to keep it infection free. so this protocol of remedies i took revised by him.
As for now since i discussed with you i've stopped all medication, kindly find my current symptoms as follows:

1- opening of cyst is closed now now since yesterday there is no bleeding.
2- bleed before was very thick and gummy (it always get clogged very quickly) and the like clogged blood on any wound.
3- sometimes the minor discharge is light pink color which may represents that there is transparent pus mix with blood so its becoming pink (you better analyze) its odorless and amount of discharge is very low even before treatment begin it was very rear discharge.
4- only when i took silicea 6x there was daily discharge otherwise it never happens daily.
5- there is no specific pain unless i sit directly putting my load on area otherwise no pain.
6- i do care about fiber intake Alhamdullilah there is no constipation at all, bowel movements are normal.
7- state of mind is quiet normal just i get afraid by your reply yesterday :) well, I'm Alhamdullilah happy, optimistic, have desire to live well, struggle and hardwork and believe in Allah (Most Important)
8- its location is on lower back bone down where the buttocks starts, and its been examined by two surgeons (one of them is very experienced here in riyadh)

bundle of prayer for you dr.nawaz and i really appreciate your help. may Allah bless your kind reward for that.
Thanks and best regards,

Thanks doc for quick reply and your kind attention,
1- calendula i used as topical no intake at all,
2- regarding silicea 200c i've in liquid form its almost full bottle of medicine,
3- i think it would not be easily possible to get the medicines from pakistan besides i think i can easily order online easily, which may take 5 days or so, but in riyadh its impossible.
4- no particular change in symptoms but i've checked there was very little discharge of same light pinkish color which can be seen on tissue paper but its very minor.

Thanks again for your interest and kind attention. Allah SWT Jazak Khair al dunya wa akhera't (aameen)

1- yes Calendula is Q, and i was using it in liquid form by pouring a drop or drops on cyst and rubbing softly until it dissolve over the cyst. lately i come to know that it should be use around the cyst but not to use on the opening of the cysts so now a days and also in the days of continues discharging (days when i was taking silicea 6x) i used it around the cyst.
2- pus when it start it is white/watery/transparent but soon after it becomes light red and when there is more pus discharge i examine the thick clogged dark red color (it clogged same way the blood clogged on wounds) now a days almost no or very little discharge
3- as per the medicine delivery yes i mean probably if i order online with international package it may reach in 5 business days in riyadh.

I can't thank you enough !
May Allah bless you and your family !

Thanks a lot for your kind reply, I'll start using the calendula according to your directions, kindly let me know how many times a day i should use calendula, secondly I've already stopped taking all of the medicines (accroding to your kind suggestion) , what would you recommend me on this stage any medicine or should i use only calendula only externally? your kind reply will be highly appreciated. Jazak Allah Khair !

Assalamoalekum Doctor,
I hope you that you would be doing great, as per my symptoms update:
1- last night when i use Calendula Q first time according to your instructions i really feel comfort but bit itchy but it was not permanent, in early morning i feel big difference in size the cyst was shrinked, but as the day passed it start swollen until it reached the situation where it can be visibly seen as ripped, but as it reach that maximum level it get burst whole span of this process was as follows:

8am when i got wakeup it was fully dried and shrinked

almost 9am i start feeling slight pain while sitting and it was continuously swelling

4 it burst at the stage where it burst.

discharge was same thick and gummy and started with light color and reached red when it get clogged, while each BM i keep washing with fresh water and then dried with tissue paper, and used calendula Q

i would like to elaborate on the location of this cyst its not near to rectum opening its quiet far and exists on the lower back bone exactly at the starting point of buttocks (between buttocks) right on the line of spinal cord. i think shouldn't be confused with anal fistula (you better examine)

as for now today i catch cold since it was really cold today and i was not wearing warm cloth so catch cold and get fever. so most of time throughout the day i feel tiredness, fever sickness, now i think i can't resist more am going to take alloepathic medicine for fever, i tried to cope with inflammation and pain with my favorite curcum tea(haldi + little black pepper) and green tea in the evening but it works temporarily.

regarding the given prescription doctor do you want me to now ? or its for future? beside i try to find it online homeopathic pharmacies i didn't find all from any source if you think i should order all these now kindly recommend me any good affordable pharmacy.

thanks a lot and sorry for long message :)
if you like i would like to know about your self, you been working here in riyadh?

Jazak Allah Alaf Khair

Dear Doctor Nawaz,
hope this finds you well, as per your kind instruction i took the single dose of silicea 200c after breakfast, as per the symptoms:

1- there was little discharge as well today
2- Alhamdullilah cyst is more shrinked and reaching a level where it started from (long back)
3- size reduction is about 30% to 35% of cyst (in gernal)

Doctor my question on this stage are:

1- should i continue next dose of silicea 200c tomorrow
2- what is the best way to take dose of silicea 200c (or any particular liquad form dosage)


Bundle of thanks and many many prayers for you !

2- cyst was not only shrinked it also get dried and it doesn't seem that it ever had an opening
3- throughout the day i didn't feel much discomfort of sitting
4- now the size of cyst is like acne boil Alhamdullilah and it seem it will be cured completely Insha'Allah with dose or two of silicea 200c (doc you better know and suggest)

Bundle of thanks and jazak Allah Khair wa Afea't

Doc Nawaz, hope you would be doing great. i was not able to take today's dose of silicea 200c i was suffering high fever and chills since last night & throughout the day i tried max to cope with that without using antibiotic but due high fever (due throat infection) & aches i had to see alleopathic doc & he prescribed me antibiotic & pain killer. now I'm feeling lot better. but most important to share that previous dose of silicea is still working because I'm still seeing improvement in cyst condition. now by yesterday its more shrinked and only 20% left.
now doctor at this situation kindly help me with following questions:

1- can i use silicea 200c dose while using several alleopathic medicine (ofcourse with gap of hours)
2- since i already skipped today morning's dose then what should i do?
3- does my condition fever and chills condition is related to silicea 200c side effect? because i was shivering whole night even having two blankets over me.

kindly guide me here what should be next steps because I'm feeling like i lost the way reaching near to destination.

may Allah SWT bless you

Dear Dr. Nawaz,

I hope you would be doing great, first of sorry for late reply which is due sickness and problem with internet connection. Now I’m feeling well. i would like to share my symptoms during week which are as follows:

1- Fever and inflammation was due throat infection which was very acute and severe.
2- I took allopathic medicine (antibiotic) for 5 consecutive days
3- When I started the antibiotic cyst was already on medium size which was about acne boil
4- During the span of antibiotic usage it get dried and smaller
5- Opening (although it was very small but it was there) was totally closed within two days of allopathic medicine
6- On fifth day cyst was maximum dried and shrink a bit
7- I examine on the last days of allopathic medicine cyst become like small sized acne boil but on pressing a bit there was sharp pain
8- two (2) Day after I completed the antibiotic course I feel pain while sitting and after examining I know that cyst is getting ripped, throughout the day it keep getting ripped and enlarged well.
9- This process started from the beginning of the day and until night there was lot discomfort and pain in the area. In night I see there was large bleed and all of the puss accumulated was drained (burst) out of the cyst, I kept clean the area and started calendula (according to your teachings)
10- Now I’m keeping it clean/ wash with calendula water. And the burst day was day before yesterday.
11- Now this is the first time that cyst burst that way there I can surely say there won’t be any remaining puss or liquid even if there will be it would be dried in the drying process. There is easily seen hole (opening) now.
12- I didn’t took any allopathic or homeopathic medicine because I wanted to have your guidance and consultant

kindly consult me what is good step in this situation.

Jazak Allah Khair
