The Ultimate Cure for Obesity _{Page 9 of 20}

Your doctor's response was, as I warned you, to be expected. They go on the law of averages where the fact that Amoebiasis is not a common disease in the US, it therefore follows that you will not present it. I am more than surprised that she did not take into account the tenderness in your liver which I have diagnosed as Amoebic cysts. The stool tests may not be positive but this is quite usual.

I do not agree with her diagnosis and also her dire warnings of aggravation of your diarrhea if you took this drug Flagyl which is also known as Metronidazole. This is a remedy that has been used for many years to treat Amoebiasis which is common in Sri Lanka and is used very often. As far as I am aware, Flagyl has never been known to aggravate a diarrhea as its primary function is to alleviate it by killing the amoeba responsible for your IBS. The only way for you to know if it will help you is by taking it as directed by your doctor in the recommended dosage over the 2 weeks. It is possible that you may have to take it for even a longer period as your tender liver can harbour the cysts which usually take a long time to be eradicated.

You will observe that you will feel much better after you take it for a day when the amoeba are slowly killed off by the drug. Your stools will also be rendered more solid.

All I can advise you at this early stage is to use the drug as prescribed and report your response in 2 days after you start on Flagyl when I am sure that you will feel much better.


I am copying some information on Flagyl from Medline below :

PRESCRIBED FOR: Metronidazole is used to treat giardia infections of the small intestines, amebic liver abscess and dysentery (amebic colon infection causing bloody diarrhea), trichomonas vaginal infections, and carriers of trichomonas (both sexual partners) who do not have symptoms of infection. Metronidazole is also used alone or in combination with other antibiotics in treating abscesses in the liver, pelvis, abdomen and brain caused by susceptible anaerobic bacteria. Metronidazole is also used in treating colon infection caused by a bacteria called C. difficile. Many commonly used antibiotics can alter the normal type of bacteria that inhabit the colon. C. difficile is an anaerobic bacteria that can infect the colon when the normal bacteria types of the colon are altered by common antibiotics. This leads to inflammation of the colon (pseudomembranous colitis) with severe diarrhea and abdominal pain.

DOSING: Metronidazole may be taken with or without food. In the hospital, metronidazole can be administered intravenously to treat serious infections. Metronidazole is metabolized mainly by the liver and dosages may need to be reduced in patients with abnormal liver function.

DRUG INTERACTIONS: Alcohol should be avoided because metronidazole and alcohol together can cause severe nausea, vomiting, cramps, flushing, and headache. Metronidazole can increase the blood thinning effects of warfarin (Coumadin) and increase the risk of bleeding. Cimetidine (Tagamet) increases the blood level of metronidazole.

PREGNANCY: Metronidazole is not used in early pregnancy because of potential adverse effects on the babies.

NURSING MOTHERS: Metronidazole is not used by nursing mothers because of potential adverse effects on the babies.

SIDE EFFECTS: Metronidazole is a valuable antibiotic, and is generally well tolerated with appropriate use. Serious side effects of metronidazole are rare; and include seizures and damage of nerves resulting in numbness and tingling of extremities (peripheral neuropathy). Metronidazole should be stopped if these symptoms appear. Minor side effects include nausea, headaches, loss of appetite, a metallic taste, and rarely a rash.

How Arnica triggered your diarrhoea I will never understand. You state that there are other reports but yours is the first that I have noticed. If you have other reports please furnish them.

I am not worried about your hair for which you can still use Arnica Q in the emulsion with Coconut oil.

For your diarrhoea, you can stay with the Nat Phos 6x and add Carbo Veg 30c in the wet dose twice daily and Lycopodium 30c in the dry pellets one dose every third day.

I hope that you are using the Flagyl as prescribed by your doctor. I am not impressed by the nil report and you must use the antibiotic especially to me you are a positive case of Amoibic Cysts in your liver which you reported as being tender.

Yes I do agree that it seems so very sad that 3 trolls have banded together to keep up an undending spate of personal attacks on almost every post that I make on this forum.

I believe that they do so because they can read for themselves the success of my remedies that I prescribe and it is possible that they do so as they have lost the support of the membership of this forum and they are now trying hard to gain their oneupmanship by pretending to be the doyen of classical homeopaths which they feel gives them the right to criticize all my posts for one reason or the other.

Their insinuating that you are an alias that I have created is preposterous as you too will realize but this is the present spirit of this forum which a few months ago was the ultimate homeopathic forum but which has sadly been reduced to this present level due to the regular interference from these trolls.

I just wanted to acknowledge the news that you have posted on this thread which deals with Obesity and Weight Loss and I shall await your future reports of further loss in the future.

When you reach the weight you consider ideal, you can reduce the dosage to just one or even stop the Nat Phos.
