Hello Sameer,

Finally, I gave my son the Silicea yesterday.

In your opinion, do you believe this will help him grow? How long do you think it will take before I see anything?

I would so love to see him return to school in September and be somewhat taller so the children don't tease him so much again.

As Always, I am always grateful to hear from you,

Franki

Dear Franki,

Growth differences will not be noticed in a few weeks.

It will be noticed over a longer period.

But rest assured he will be a much healthy kid with a lot fewer health problems and that automatically implies the best possible growth that his genetic make up allows.

Now just wait and watch for 2 weeks and let me know if his other problems start getting better.

Thank you again!

Hello Sameer,
I has been about 2 weeks since I gave my son the silicea. I checked his hands yesterday and the skin around his fingers that was peeling looked smooth.

I pray he will grow somewhat taller soon. We went to an amusement park and he wasn't able to ride many of the rides because he was too small. When he cried, it broke my heart.

I hope you are well. Talk to you soon.

Hello Franki,

I think Silicea will definitely help him.

The peeling getting better is an indication of the medicine starting act.

So, you gave 3 doses of 30c right ?

Sameer
 
sameervermani last decade
Yes, 1/2 tsp. 3x in one day. I gave him no food 1 hour before and 1 hour after.

He is very agreeable to the whole thing.

Thank you for helping us....
 
franki last decade
Okay in about 2 weeks from now, we might give him a SINGLE dose of Silicea 200c for further benefit (in case needed).

That should pretty much complete the cure.
 
sameervermani last decade
What benefits will he get?

What kind of symptoms might he get from a stronger dose?

How will we know if he needs it?
 
franki last decade
I think it will help him getover the internal disease (a miasm) which is preventing good growth.
He will also be more resistent to infections
and his nosebleeds should completely be cured.

Repeating a single ( 1/2 tsp) dose of 200c should be completely safe provided we have allowed the previous potency to act completely, and he should not get any troublesome symptoms.

Hello Sameer,
Ok...I will get back to you in another 2 weeks or so. Is it ok if it is over 2 weeks as we may not be around due to summer vacation?

After we work on my son, maybe we can help me....it seems I get sick more often lately!

Franki

Ok to both.

Hi Sameer,
My son had an appointment yesterday with the endocrinologist for a check-up on his growth. They did a bone-age scan which showed that the age of his hand bones are 11 years old. My son just turned 8 years old.

The doctor called me today to say that he was very concerned and thinks that we should start him on growth hormone injections.

His concern was also that the last time we did the scan (2 years ago) his bone age was 5 and a half years old.

I hope you understand what I am saying.

I couldn't believe what he was telling me and again I am feeling desperate. I really don't want to put him on hormones.

Why do you think his bones aged so much in two years??

My husband asked me if the phosphorus or the silicea had anything to do with that?

Sameer, please tell me what you think about this......

Thank you,
Franki

This has nothing to do with Phosphorus or Silica. Homeopathic medicines just stimulate the body's response to heal the internal dynamic disease, and in no way cause the body to go down 'abnormal growth' paths.

I would surely advise you against using growth harmones as this can play havoc with the heath is the long run. Why is that hand bone a concern ?
 
sameervermani last decade
The doctor feels that my son will just be about 5 feet tall and this is concerning him.

You don't think that it is a concern that his bones are 11 years old but that he is only 8?

I think the doctor feels that the growth plates will close at a very early age and if we don't give the hormone, he won't reach his full height potential.

The thing is, we had him tested and he is not deficient in growth hormone.

In your opinion, I should wait and see?

I really appreciate you getting back to me right away.
 
franki last decade
he also said that the wrist bone was 8 years old.

do u understand what this all means?

could it be possible that he will just grow into whatever he is supposed to be? Does a hand grow faster than the rest of the body?
 
franki last decade
Sameer,
I did not mean to imply that you advised me to use something harmful for my son. I truly appreciate all your advise and help.
 
franki last decade
I think for a boy of 8 years of age, there is still plenty of time to grow, and using growth harmones is not justified.

I have seen people some boys gain heights till 18 years.

How is he doing healthwise ? Does he have any problems left now ? Are his nosebleeds completely gone now ? Is he mentally and physically in harmony ?
 
sameervermani last decade
Hi Sameer,
Mentally and physically, he is top notch.

His nose bleeds are occasional but I think sometimes it is because he gets hit in the nose with a ball while playing that brings on the nosebleeds later on in the day.

I feel better after talking to you. Like I said, we do not want to give him the hormone and we will tell the doctor we won't do that.

Do you still think we should give him the Silica 200c?
 
franki last decade
Great !

You can give 1 single dose of Silicea 200c.

Dissolve 2 pellets in 250 ml water bottle, and just 1 teaspoon from there ONCE.

Let me know how he is doing in 15 days.

Good luck.
Sameer

Hello Sameer,
I just went to order the Silicea 200c and I can not find it in pellet form.

Should I order the granules?

Thanks,

Franki
 
franki last decade
Granules are even better.

Use 2 granules instead of 2 pellets.
 
sameervermani last decade
Hi Sameer,
I gave my son the silicea today. He had a few nose bleeds in the last 2 days. He also has looked kind of pale.

I just want to thank you for all your help. I will let you know how he is doing in the next 2 weeks.

Franki

Hello Sameer,
Hope this finds you in good health. My son was doing well...only had about 3 or 4 nosebleeds since I gave him the silicea. He hasn't had any for about 14 days now. He had a headache yesterday however school has started and I think the days have been long.

I also had a consultation with another endocrinologist regarding his bone age. That doctor also thinks that I should consider giving my son growth hormone. He said that if we don't, he will only grow to be between 5 foot and 5'2'.

As you already know, my husband and I do not want to give him any hormone. I asked if we could wait and see if he has a growth spurt of his own that would make him 'catch up' and he thought it was highly unlikely that he would grow without the use of the hormones.

As usual, any opinions and suggestions you can give would be greatly appreciated.

Franki

Hi Franki,

I just do not understand how someone can project the height of a 7 year old boy, and make statements like , he will not be taller than 5' 2' . This is the trouble with allopathy, they 'seem' to know how our bodies behave, and attempt to correct it through removal or addition of certain 'substances'.

My opinion would be to wait, as it is too early for such drastic measures.

He seems to be responding well to Silica, and it will not be surprising if he starts improving on the growth front too.

Any troublesome physcial or mental symptoms that remain now ?
 
sameervermani last decade
Hi Sameer,
Thank you. I tend not to get so alarmed now when i talk to the doctors because I know that I can always turn to you.

I had to go pick him up from school just now because he has a headache again. He looks pale and feels tired.

What do you think?
 
franki last decade
Hmm.. can you describe the modalities of the headache ?

What is the location , what makes it worse , what makes it better.. what time of the day does it appear..or anything else which you might have noticed ?
