Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis (RRP)

I was diagnosed with RRP (caused by HPV) about 6 months ago although I have had it for approximately 3-4 years now. I have just completed my 2nd surgery to remove the nodules after the first one was unsuccessful. I have read that these surgeries can become quite frequent and do not feel this is a fix but rather a band aid. I cannot afford to have these surgeries every two or three months. Is there any homeopathic remedy that will help keep the nodules in remission or even get rid of them? I have been taking calc. Fluor, calc carb and belladonna for ten weeks now recommended by my old homeopathic doctor in South Africa. Please help!!

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Sorry -- they dont know how to deal with this in orthodox medicine.

Repeated ops will only make the cdondition wore .

But we are looking at a compromised immune system-

Epidemiological studies have confirmed that juvenile-onset RRP is the most common and most aggressive form of the disease. Age at diagnosis is the most important determinant of disease severity, with younger patients requiring significantly more annual surgeries and more likely to have multicentric disease. Distal tracheal or pulmonary RRP is rare, but carries a significant increase in morbidity and mortality. Research into the pathogenesis of RRP has focused on the genetics of HPV infection and host-virus interactions, suggesting a genetic basis for host susceptibility to RRP. At the present time, surgery remains the mainstay of treatment for RRP. However, recurrence after surgery is common and the search for effective adjuvant therapies is ongoing. The antiviral drug cidofovir has demonstrated efficacy against RRP and is considered a promising new adjuvant treatment of this disease. In an attempt to minimize the untoward effects of surgery, the pulsed-dye laser (PDL) has emerged as a safe and efficacious treatment for select patients with RRP. SUMMARY: While a cure for RRP remains elusive, there has been substantial progress in the diagnosis and management of this disease. Significant advances in clinical and basic science research have dramatically improved our understanding of the epidemiology and pathogenesis of the disease and led to the development of promising new adjuvant therapies and surgical techniques. This has translated to an improved quality of life for many patients with RRP.


As we are talking about Papilloma (warts) it would seem to me that Thuja , Nat Sul and Medorr are the most likely avenues to explore.
