The ABC Homeopathy Forum

can anyone help?

I would like advice about a problem that my brother is suffering from. He woke up one morning to find that his foot and ankle was swollen and when he stepped on a step it was as if something gave way and he had excruciating pain in it so much so that he felt he wanted to cut his foot off!It has been a month since then and the problem is exactly the same, doctors can't understand what it is. FIrst they thought it was fracture, the put on a plaster cast, but now its been taken off, the swelling is gone but pain is still there just like before. He has taken arnica for this but no betterment occurred. He had been working in the attic some days previous to the pain. age is 48, general health is poor, weak, often has back problems and leg problems, i am afraid that he may become incapacitated. cananyone help, as doctors dont have a clue as to what the problem is.

Dear Plaguedmum,

1) Take two doses of Podophyllum 200 in the morning and Night.
2) Take one dose of Ars. Alb. 200 in the afternoon.
3) Repeat 1 and 2 for three days.

Example:
Day 1 Morning : 1st dose of Podophyllum 200
Day 1 afternoon: 1 dose of Ars. Alb 200.
Day 1 Night : 2nd dose of Podophyllum 200

One dose means
If the medicine is in pills form 4 pills. Don't touch pills with hand. Use cap of bottle to take pills.
If the medicine is in liquid dilution form, 3-4 drops in some 20 ml mineral water. Sip up slowly.

Please follow homeopathy restrictions like no coffee, no raw onion/garlic, and no strong perfumes, don't eat or drink anything within 30 minutes before or after taking medicine.

Do update me your progress on daily bases. Stop other medicine (if it is not an emergency).

Regards,
Nikkie.

Dear Nikkie, I have just heard from my brother , to whom i conveyed your instructions. He was only able to find podophylum c1000 and arsenic album 200.He said that he put a few drops of the podophylum 1000 and the arsenic 200 in some sugar tablets and took this combination 3 times daily for 3 days and then once more after a 3 day break.
was that okay?
He says that there is a lot less pain in the bone but it keeps flaring up.there is tenderness in his ankle and where the shin meets the foot, the nerves are swollen.
He is in great difficulty, as his wife is also bed-ridden with a slipped disc problem for the last 4 months and he has to get around and do the shopping etc himself inspite of his pain (ie no rest). What should he do now?

Dear Plaguedmum,

Please arrange for Podophylum 200 . From your post it looks your brother is himself making the pills dose. Instead he can use 3-4 drops of remedy in 3 sip mineral water. Please dont use pills.

Stop the remedy for two days and start again. I dont want patient using 1000 pot. Please adhere to that.

Update the progress on daily bases.

Regards,
Nikkie.

latest from my brother: am able to walk unaided and put 75%of my weight,able to get around at the moment.
latest blood test shows uric acid high and doctors convinced its gout.taking allupurinol to reduce that.but much better. if worsens then will arrange to get podophylum 200 somehow.
 
plaguedmum last decade
Dear Plaguedmum,

You should had started with Podophylum 200 along with Ars. Alb. 200 and continue every day. This remedy will also take care of Uric acid Problem.

Take two doses of Ars. Alb and podophylum in a day.


Regards,
Nikkie.
