Hi I have a small lymph node/lump in my saliva/parotid gland and my doctor has recommended surgery. However I would like to try homeopathy medicine. Would you please help?

Thanks, vick

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
I shall copy the therapy I have prescribed for patients who presented a Blocked Saliva Duct aka Parotitis which has helped many to overcome their ailment.

I am informed that this therapy takes about a week to dissolve the Calculus which is blocking the flow of Saliva and the patient is spared the trauma of surgery which is the only method known to medicine to treat this problem.

The remedies are listed below and are taken thrice daily in the Wet dose:

Belladonna 30c
Merc Sol 30c

If the patient is in acute distress and pain due to the blockage, Hypericum 200 can be used thrice daily.

The Wet dose of any Homeopathic remedy is made as follows:

Order the remedy in the Liquid pack in Alcohol, also referred to as Liquid Dilution in a bottle preferably with a dropper arrangement.
Get a 500ml bottle of Spring Water from the nearest supermarket.
Pour out about 3cm of water from the bottle to leave some airspace.
Insert 3 drops of the remedy into the bottle and shake the bottle hard at least 6 times before you sip a capfull of the bottle or a large teaspoonful which is the dose.
Shaking the bottle hard is homeopathic succussion and this enhances the effect of the remedy on the user.

Please note that this therapy is not an instant fix as the treatment usually takes about 2 weeks to dissolve the Calculus.

Report your response in a few weeks.

Do not consent to surgery unless absolutely necessary.

Thanks Joe. I don't have any pain, but don't like to have surgery. I have not taken any homeopathy dose before. Please excuse me for being ignorant. Would you be able to advise if I should take Belladonna 30c and Merc Sol 30c together or need to mix in separate water bottles. Can I use the same water for the whole week since I have to take only a teaspoon at a time? Or should I just try Hypericum 200 for a week? Please advise.

Thanks for helping. Vick

My apologies for not instructing you on making the remedies in 2 separate bottles and you will take a dose of each thrice daily. You will also leave at least half hour between the 2 remedies.

A 500ml bottle will last you over 2 months at 3 doses daily and it is best to keep your remedy refrigerated.

I also failed to inform you that your problem is a Calculus or Stone in your Parotid gland which can cause acute pain in some patients. It is not a Lymph node or lump as you suggested.

The 2 remedies I have prescribed are able to dissolve the Calculus and thereby relieve you of all discomfort.

After your Calculus has been dissolved you may take just one dose of both remedies daily for a month and later still, reduce it to 2 doses every week to ensure that you do not start on another stone in your saliva gland.

I noticed that you referred to Hypericum 200 which I did not prescribe for you.
Please note that although Homeopathic remedies seem innocuous, they can be powerful and cause serious distress as one patient discovered when he landed in the ER by taking some remedy that I had not prescribed.

Report your progress weekly.

Thanks much for quick reply. So just to reiterate, I will order Belladonna 30c and
Merc Sol 30c. Will make 2 separate bottles, and will take three times a day with 1/2 hr difference. Do I need to take any precautions during this course? Please advise.

And Thanks much for helping.

Hi Dr. Livera, I have been taking Belladonna 30c and Merc Sol 30c as prescribed by you thrice a day for last 12 days but so far I don't see any change in the Calculus or Stone in the Parotid gland. Please advise how long should I keep on taking this and how soon I will start seeing the improvement. originally you have advised to take 2 weeks and then reduce the dose. should I continue with it thrice a day til I see improvement? Please advise. Thanks, Vick

It is possible that you may not be presenting a Calculus or Stone in your Parotid Gland. Even if it was one, my therapy could take a few more weeks before some improvement is felt by you as the calculus is dissolved slowly.

You may like to know that a patient whom I treated a few years ago had first undergone surgery internally for her first stone and she was absolutely scared when she presented the second which the surgeon had informed her could not be done internally, like the first. She was not looking forward to another surgical episode which would have disfigured her face and consulted me. This stone was finally dissolved in about 4 months and she too took a reduced dosage twice daily before the pain she experienced which at the onset was acute, gradually ceased with the dissolution of the stone.

You are cleared to reduce the dosage to just twice daily.

Would you like to consult another ENT surgeon for a second opinion in another month after you have reduced the dose to twice daily?
 
Joe De Livera last decade
Thanks Dr. Livera for your quick reply. I will continue with your prescription for now and check with my ENT dr. next month to see if the calculus is actually reducing in size. I might not be able to tell just by touching and will update you. I am attaching my previous biopsy and ct scan results for your yo review. Thanks again for helping. Vick
I have copied and pasted both pathology reports and the CT scan report.

Provider: GREGORY YU CHIN M.D.
Collected: 6/28/2012 Case #: DRVN12-532
Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology Report
FINAL PATHOLOGIC DIAGNOSIS

LEFT PAROTID GLAND, FINE NEEDLE ASPIRATION: NEGATIVE FOR
MALIGNANCY.

LAWRENCE WALDEN BROWNE II M.D.
** Report Electronically Signed by LWB **
Comment
The cytologic preparations consist of bland-appearing acinar cells,
an occasional bland-appearing fragment of ductal epithelium,
mature-appearing lymphocytes, and histiocytes.



Provider: LOUIS WING-WAH WONG M.D.
Collected: 6/13/2012 Case #: DRVN12-497
Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology Report
FINAL PATHOLOGIC DIAGNOSIS
A) NECK, LEFT UPPER, FNA:
- ATYPICAL, VACUOLATED CELLS PRESENT (SEE COMMENT).


AMANDA LEA ASHTON-SAGER M.D.
** Report Electronically Signed by ALA **
Comment
No normal salivary gland tissue is identified. The majority of the
cells present look like muciphages (with vacuolated cytoplasm).
Rare cohesive clusters of intermediate and/or ductal cells are
noted. Inflammatory cells are rare. No definitive squamous cells
are identified. A very scant amount of metachromatic stroma is
identified. The differential diagnosis includes low-grade
mucoepidermoid carcinoma, carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma, and
(less likely) chronic sialadenitis. Further tissue sampling is
suggested (if clinically appropriate) for definitive diagnosis.
This case was reviewed by a second pathologist (intradepartmental
consultation) who concurs with the diagnosis.



CT NECK W CONTRAST

** HISTORY **:
Evaluate for a parotid mass.

** FINDINGS **:
CT imaging of the neck was performed after the intravenous
administration of 100 Ml of Omnipaque 300. Reformatted imaging in
the coronal and sagittal plane was also performed.

A skin marker was positioned over the patient's palpable
abnormality within the left neck.

There is a solid enhancing rounded mass within the posterior
aspect of the superficial lobe of the left parotid gland measuring
1.3 cm AP x 1.2 cm TR x 1.4 cm CC measured on series 3 image 20
and series 601 image 37. This lesion appears solid and enhances
throughout. A very small side branch of the left external jugular
vein passes immediately into this lesion, seen best on series 3
image 24 and series 601 image 36. This lesion appears to pass
above the expected plane of the facial nerve passing through the
proximal gland.

No other worrisome parotid lesions are seen. No adenopathy is seen
in the neck. No other masses are seen.

The imaged thyroid glands and submandibular glands appear normal
in density. The imaged portion of the brain appears normal in
density. The nasopharynx, hypopharynx, and larynx are
unremarkable. The oral cavity is of secured by artifact from
dental hardware. The lung apices were not imaged. No bone
destruction is seen.

** IMPRESSION **:
1. There is a solid avidly enhancing 1.4 cm nodule along the
posterior superficial left parotid gland as detailed above. This
could represent a parotid neoplasm of indeterminate malignancy. I
would enhancement suggest that this could represent a
hypervascular lesion. No other parotid nodules or masses are seen.
No adenopathy is seen in the neck

It is obvious that you present a non malignant growth in your Parotid Gland and not a Calculus for which I was treating you. You will STOP using the therapy I have prescribed and replace it with the remedy below.

Your remedy is Conium 6c in the Wet dose taken twice daily.

Please note that this remedy may take some months to reduce the growth which is NOT malignant as evidenced in the reports.

Report progress monthly.

Dr. Livera, is the complete name of medicine is Conium Maculatum 6C? And do I need to mix it in one water bottle (16 oz.) like I did for the previous medicine? Please advise.
 
vloomba last decade
YES to both questions.

Hello,
I have been diagnosed with a tumor in my left parotid Gland very similar to Vick's problem years ago. I had surgery to remove the growth in 1/2016 and it's not growing back and is about 1 cm. I would like to know if Vick's treatment of Conium Maculatum 6C was successful and if there's any side effects to the use of this that I should know about.

Thank you.
