Oh dear we are going on a different track then, an ophtalmologist should be able to make a diagnosis and not guess, well i spoke with my friend at the university hospital and he thinks it is more likely the muscles considering the age and also the presentation, so i will go with his views. I wanted an ophtalmologist to test your son and give me a detailed diagnosis of the condition and also to advice me on the part of the eye that is defective, like the muscles, the lens, the curvature etc, but his idea is not conclusive at all. Any way i will still ask you to stick with ruta and see how it goes atleast for a month, also if he has given some glasses, is your son able to see properly with those glasses at all?
Let me know more about the glasses the power and nature of it, if you have them.
No not all cases of stroke will be helped by nux vomica, you father was given was becuase of addiction, anger, violance, etc..
What other symptoms is your uncle having, pneumonia after stoke does not look good. get me the symptoms i will suggest some medicines..
Has the stroke resolved at all..
Thanks..

Hi Dr.,
Yeah, I am not pleased with how things went but oh well we need to move on from here. My biggest concern right now is that our son is starting to turn his head to see better and also could see how his gait was off when walking down the hall without the test glasses. Will definitely keep taking the ruta, have been since you prescribed it. He did not get glasses today, got a prescription for them so we haven't gotten them yet. Do you have a fax number that I can fax you the prescription?
Uncle - Not sure of the details for my Uncle. He is in VA and I guess some family members are on their way to visit him so maybe I can get some more details tomorrow. Just have a gut feeling they may not try homeopathy but I would like to present it to them as an option if they want to try.
Thanks Much!

Hi Dr., From what I know he is not really responding. They had to bring him back twice last night, heart stop. I think they have a breathing and feeding tube in him. My Mom and cousin is on their way to see him right now. From what I hear from them he went to bed at 5pm on a Sunday night and woke up throwing up during the night.
So that is where we are at right now. Not sure if they could even get remedies into him at this stage.
Thanks for any help! I am praying things can turn around if meant to be and I could at least have these recommendations available if they want to try them.

Hi Dr., Here is the info regarding the glasses prescription, not sure if you helpful or not. My husband called the eye doctor's office and cancelled the glass making part of it, since this eye doctor charges 5 times more than a eye glass place would, so at least that saved us about $700. We do not plan to get the eye glasses at this point. Of course my husband is concerned, being he has eye glasses himself, about what happens if this is neglected. But I explained to him we are not neglecting it, just taking a different path. So here is the info:
P.D. Dist-Total: 50.0 R: 25.0 L 25.0OT
Near-Total: 47.0 R: 23.5 L: 23.5
Decentration- Horizontal R: 25.0OT L: 25.0OT
Vertical R: 16:0UP L: 16.0UP
Notes: Prism: OD In/OS Out and Dn at 345
Not sure if we will be able to get enough money in the next week or so to get an opthalmaloglist to check out his eyes. But we will save and see what can be done in near future.
I think things are blocked in upper shoulders/head area. From viewing his posture, the way his ears/eyes/face reacted in the last month and the eyes itching a couple of times, and the lymph node on back on neck still swollen. I think cranial sacral work and homeopathy is the right path. I plan to do energy work on him while he sleeps that focuses on those areas and maybe things can clear out.
Uncle - still on life support. Not sure I can get arnica liquid to them in the next few days and not sure they would use it if I did. So if they used the liquid, do they need to dilute with water and put drops in his eyes? How many drops in eyes, just one per eye 3 times a day or 3 or 4 drops in each eye?
Thanks!

Hi Dr.,
Just wanted to let you know my Uncle passed away yesterday. They said he was brain dead, and took him off life support, heart continued to beat for awhile and then he died.
Mom - I have been experiencing all types of things going on my bowel movements. Last week when I was so congested, sore throat/ears, etc., I finally had a green, diarrhea like bowel movement and then felt much better. But still having a few of those bowel movements, green and runny. Last couple of days had alot of itchness, on my Right breast, and in pelvic/anal region, also thighs some last night.
However, other things are improving. I was doing a yoga pose, one for groin, front of thighs, and just burst out into tears. I just kind of let go of the memory of the intense pain I felt when in labor and was able to say to myself it is over, your child is here and safe and that is over. It really help let go of the pulling going on around Right thigh and pelvic region. I still have something on Right side but hopefully that will be gone soon.
I also realize I take on alot of people's 'stuff'. I just want to help everybody, hate to see them in pain. But I realized I was kind of absorbing all that from my clients so I am taking steps to do things before and after I see a client and it seems to help me detach from their 'stuff'. I still care of course but realize I can support them, offer them suggestions, etc. but it is their journey and I don't need to carry around in my body.
When they were checking out my teeth the other night, they took my blood pressure, said it was slightly high. I know I need to exercise more and trying to make that happen. I have to go for the cleaning next week and they will take it again and I will see if it is high again.
Son - Not sure when the month is up and what is the plan. Been giving him the ruta twice a day, doing eye exercises, and pulsatilla once a week. He is keeping the cough, hear it in the morning, sounds kind of thick like but he is going to school, not wheezing, just overall doing well. He gets the itchy legs like me. The other night he wanted vegetable pizza, no cheese, so we both had a piece. Then next day he was itching a bit and very gassy yesterday.
Husband is still exhuasted but over the worst of the mucous thing/swollen lymph nodes that was going on. He was back to work yesterday but doesn't have the strength to do full out physical work yet. He is done with the biggest part of that big job and has to go back to do more soon. Should I give him his 2nd dose of medicines or wait until he gets more recovered from this last bout of sickness? His skin is still very dry but he hasn't been taking the bryonia on a regular basis.

Hi Dr.,
Just wanted to check in about my father. He took his 2nd dose of nux vomica, I believe was on Jan. 25th, so yesterday was day 25. Of course, I overlooked this with all that has been going on. Okay to just give him the 3rd dose tomorrow? I haven't gotten the remedy for the cough yet, working on it.
Thanks!

Hey sorry was little held up with things in my side, anyways, glad your son is not wheezing which i will say is a big mile stone in the path of treatment and i would presume that this is the final stage of his attacks and more likely he will not end up having wheezing again at all, even if it comes might last a few min or hours and go off. Don worry about the eye we will see it through.
About you again no change in the medications continue with causticum every week and we will increase the power later next month, for your son as well the same management.
i am sorry about your uncle, actually nothing could be done when infections like pnuemonia sets in at critical stages. Really sorry about that.
About your father very well done with the next dose. give him the next dose tomorrow.
Husband give him a second dose of the medicine don worry about the illness he is almost out of it.
About your blood pressure let me know the next reading and we can control it with exercise and food regulations will not need any medicines more likely.
For teeth strength your main remedy will be able to help you, but wait for another month and see if you find any changes with the present medications, if not then we will add more specific medications.
Thanks.

Hi Dr.,
For Mom - After reading your e-mail I decided to recheck the old posts and make sure we are doing things on time. I think with keeping up with me, my husband, my child, my father, etc. I have lost track.
This is what I found for me:
Sep. 2 - Took Calc carb, every 3rd day for 15 days.
Nov. 21 - Pulsatilla 200c, one dose (looked like you may have suggested 2nd dose but not sure if I took it)always delays in getting the remedies and just not sure from the posts if I did or not.
Dec. 5 - Took 2nd dose of Calc carb
Dec. 31 - asked you about taking another dose of Calc Carb and you said wait another 15 days - then I think I was suppose to take another dose in 15 days but I don't think I did because at that time I had teh Thuja and Causticum and took them on Jan. 15, have been doing Causticum every week - last Friday was the 4th week.
I meant to tell you that last Friday I didn't feel the changes the way I did on previous Fridays that I took the Causticum. Usually I felt something right away, usually had a good bowel movement and things just loosene up all over, the joints, muscles, things felt great for a day or two. But this past Friday I didn't notice it.
Okay so looks like I may have dropped the ball on following up on my remedies or just wasn't clear on next days to take. I know you mentioned wait a month after I took the thuja and it will be a month early next week. What is next step for me?
My current symptoms are still some tightness and pulling going on my Right side of body, main area is a place on public bone, might be abdominal muscle attachement from public bone up to ribs, a pulling right around floating rub and a large lumpy area on right side up above belly button. Still get the itching on thighs and lower legs some and some times get it in anal area, usually right before bowel movements. Have body odor in armpits when bowel movements don't move out regularly. Energy level is up, more mobility in low back and on right side, sleep soundly, able to participate in more strenous workouts and capable of doing more massages per week without feeling exhausted.
I will take a look at my son's old posts also and write all this down to make sure we stay on track and not miss doses.
Thanks!

Well then wait for another two weeks so you will end up taking 2 doses of causticum and in the mean while we will increase the power of causticum by 1M and this i think you will have to order again, once you get it you will have to take it once in every 15 days, meanwhile before you take the dose of causticum 200 next dose take a dose of thuja as well.
once we start this power you will gain all the other problems will start fading away and then we will try stopping the medicines gradually.
Also we may have to repeat the medicines for your son as well so get dates for the medicines we gave him.
Thanks.

Hi Dr.,
I just need to get some clarification on how to continue with remedies. Are you saying to take the Causticum 200 this Friday and next friday (2 more doses)? So can I take the thuja today, since tomorrow I take another dose of causticum 200?
Then after 2 weeks will take a dose of causticum 1M and wait for 15 days?
Thanks!
P.S. (For Son)We have an appt. to see an opthamalogist that works with kids next Wed. Mother in law offered to pay for the visit so I think we can then get the corrective lenses and move forward on this eye issue. And I will get the info about remedies for him later today.

if you can take thuja today if not you can take both thuja and causticum tomorrow togather, no problem. And the sequence you have written is exactly what i meant, so do it according. That is great news about the ophthalmologist. We will move form there then..
All the best.

Hi Dr.,
Not totally sure when my son had his last dose of tub & calc carb. The first dose was around dec. 14, then we did another dose in Jan. (somewhere between the 14 & 25th) and you said to wait a month and just give him Pulsatilla once a week for a month. So I do believe we are just at a month of having those doses since I can recall giving him at least 3 weeks of pulsatilla and I do think it was 4 this week or if not definitely next week. Sorry not 100% sure. I thought I wrote everthing in those posts but now see that I didn't.
But I am 90% sure it is this week that completes a month of him taking his dose of remedies.
Please advise. Thanks!

Hey,
Thats fine, don worry about the dates, stop pulsatilla after this week, so this week will be the last dose of pulsatilla, after that the next day of pulsatilla give him Tuberculinum and calc carb 200 one dose each and then stop all medicines expect for ruta. wait for 15 days and then we will see how changes are and then we will decide about the next action, if he is doing fine then we will stop medicines totally.
How is he doing with the following (rate them in grades form 1-10).
Wheezing.
Eye itching.
Body itching.
Bumps in the hands.
Stomach issues.
Eating restricted food.
Bone issues.

Hi Dr.,
Just got back from the opthamalogist appt and his findings are Acute Left 6th cranial nerve palsy. He found no other problems with the eye except he did say had stigmatism in Left eye, but was very minor or nothing to be concerned about. He thinks it could be viral and we would just need to give it time to repair/heal, which could take 3 to 6 months. But would want to check on it in 4 weeks and should see some improvement and if not would then think possible lyme disease or tumor but doesn't really think that is the case. Thinks we should try eye path for 1 hour a day to see if any improvement happens in next month.
So let me know what you think about all this. There is still no movement of pupil past the midpoint. He is no longer tilting his head but Dr. thought that maybe at the time it helped to see when tilting and maybe things got worse and he no longer tilts, just don't know at this point.
I do plan to take him to the person we saw in the past for cranial sacral therapy because I thought it was helpful.
Do we do anything to assist with possible viral? Or do we continue on with current treatment plan?
One question - I gave him his dose of pulsatilla today. Do I give the tub and calc carb tomorrow? Your last post said the next day so I think that is what you meant, just double checking.
I will answer other questions when I return later from seeing a client. Just wanted to get this info to you right away.
Thanks!

That is great news, i would go with the viral infection and will not think of tumors at this point.
so nothing to worry continue the same treatment, if there is no underlying pathology which is serious then simply we can go ahead with present therapy and resolve it.
did he mention eye patch or eye path. I don know what is an eye path, did he give you any information about it?
yes tuberculinum and calc carb the next day, which will be tomorrow.

Hi Dr.,
Sorry, typing fast and mispelled, yes eye patch. Gave us some to take home and we can order more. Yes, I am not worrying of tumors but just wanted to relay all the info he mentioned.
Okay, will give remedies tomorrow and see how things go.

Hi Dr., I wanted to answer the questions you asked about our son recently. I am assuming 1 - 10, 1 being great and 10, not so great or still occurring frequently.
Wheezing - 1 (has not happened in over a month)
Eye Itching - 3 (seen a few times over the last few months)
Body Itching - 7 (comes and goes and when it is happening usually goes on mostly at night, on the legs, sometimes on lower belly for a few days at a time)
Bumps on hands - 3 (haven't seen them since the last time I reported it a few months ago, I think)
Stomach issues - 3 (sometimes notice a little bloating but he hasn't complained of belly ache in a long time)
Eating restricted food - 7 (eating more variety of foods but still see things happen after eating some things, red splotches on face, ear itching, throat itching or he says it makes my throat scratchy; we haven't tried dairy since Thanksgiving so not sure what would happen if we did)
Bone issues - Not really sure how to rate - never noticed any bone issues just restriction in areas such as Right hip, behind knees, unable to fully sit up from a laying flat on back position (says it hurts).
Mom - I am having a rough few days. I wore high heeled boots all day on Sat. (which I hardly ever wear and when I do only do a few hours but did it all day), later that night had a slip on the ice, mainly felt it on hand and elbow but did land on my left hip area. But next day felt overall okay. But yesterday my whole Left side felt so tense and tight,right up into shoulderblade and neck, alot around hipbone. So took 2 doses of rhus today. I am starting to feel better, mainly just tension in and around scapula and neck on left side.
I wanted to tell you about how I felt after taking the thuja. I felt the same sensation as I felt the first time I took it. A deep, sharp pain on Left side between ribcage and hipbone (it came and went in seconds). And then the next day felt very itchy on breasts and felt as if the Left hip was releasing some of the tension. The left side is the side that I have had the 'trick' knee since high school. So I think it is really addressing something related to the whole Left hip being locked up. Anything you recommend for the tightness/tension I am feeling on left side of back/shoulder/neck or is taking the rhus okay?
Thanks!

Bone issues - Not really sure how to rate - never noticed any bone issues just restriction in areas such as Right hip, behind knees, unable to fully sit up from a laying flat on back position (says it hurts).
Mom - I am having a rough few days. I wore high heeled boots all day on Sat. (which I hardly ever wear and when I do only do a few hours but did it all day), later that night had a slip on the ice, mainly felt it on hand and elbow but did land on my left hip area. But next day felt overall okay. But yesterday my whole Left side felt so tense and tight,right up into shoulderblade and neck, alot around hipbone. So took 2 doses of rhus today. I am starting to feel better, mainly just tension in and around scapula and neck on left side.
I wanted to tell you about how I felt after taking the thuja. I felt the same sensation as I felt the first time I took it. A deep, sharp pain on Left side between ribcage and hipbone (it came and went in seconds). And then the next day felt very itchy on breasts and felt as if the Left hip was releasing some of the tension. The left side is the side that I have had the 'trick' knee since high school. So I think it is really addressing something related to the whole Left hip being locked up. Anything you recommend for the tightness/tension I am feeling on left side of back/shoulder/neck or is taking the rhus okay?
Thanks!

I am happy with the overall change. the bone issue i meant the stiffness and restriction in his hip and knees. Well i think he has developed considerable immunity and it is time to give him dairy products to test, if there is still anxiety about the effects then we will wait for another 15 days to try them. As we have only two issues which are over 7, so we are doing fine with the treatment.
About you soon you will not feel the restriction and itching, i understand you took causticum as well along with thuja.

It is fine to take rhus tox for tightness and tension, but not too much just a few doses in a day will do.
Dr. Bagyavasan.k last decade
Hi Dr.,
(Mom) Yes, I took thuja on the 11th, and my dose of causticum the next day, the 12th. So tomorrow I take another dose of causticum and then in 2 weeks I will take the causticum 1M. This morning just having eye/head/neck pain on left side from all the tension that was happening on left side of body for the last 2 days. Is it okay to take a dose of arnica?
Yes, very pleased with overall improvement with my son. A year ago I could not have imagined us being at this place. So I can never thank you enough.
Husband - After he took his remedies last week he just felt exhausted and asked me what was in those pills you gave me. He was kind of joking but that is kind of how he felt the other time. Currently he is saying his eyes are really bothering him lately, achy and fatigued. He has been reading more the last few days and thinks that is the issue. He wears glasses to read. Has had glasses since his 20's. The other doctor we went to for our son is the doctor he sees. He says there is high pressure in his eyes and he sees deteroriation on the optical nerves. So just wondering if there is something you could recommend for his vision issues?

You can take Arnica and rhus tox if you have acute episodes they will act as pain relievers and help you out. if the stiffness and tension does not subside even after taking those medicines then let me know we will change into some other medicines.

Hi Dr.,
Okay, I will get my husband to answer questions.
Son - Just noticed a patch of bumps on his left hand, bottom of middle finger. Not sure when they pop up, probably last night since I didn't notice yesterday.
Mom - I did take one dose of arnica today because my head was hurting so bad. Later this afternoon had a bout of diarrhea and head felt somewhat better after that. Then I had a little scary incident shortly after the diarrhea. Was sitting at computer typing, felt my heart kind of race and kind of passed out for a split second. I still have the tension in left side of neck and back, not as bad as it was but still there. Only did rhus twice yesterday and none today, just the one dose of arnica.
Thanks!

Hi Dr.,
I just wanted to ask do you think the fact my son hit his head on a locker at an indoor pool a few weeks ago could have caused the issue with the cranial nerve? He didn't cry and complain much and then I felt the bump on his head and he still has a little bump there, about an inch above his left eye. Just wanting to share this info in case it added anything to this situation that could be helpful in treatment.
Thanks again!

The injury to the head is more sensory and is related to the facial nerve the 5th cranial, but if there should be a problem in the eye then it is 6th the abducent or 2nd ophthalmic so nothing to worry but it is strange he did not complain of much pain give him a dose of arnica as well, i will add this to his sensitivity, this will help in changing the dosage.
Thanks.
Don worry about your heart issue it is nothing but a sudden increase in heart rate, which usually happens in situations of sudden and massive water loss as in case of diarrhoea your heart was trying to compensate for the water and fluid lost thats all.

Hi Dr., Just wanted to give you an update with our son. Gave him his remedies on 2/18. Yesterday I told him you said we could try dairy again if he wanted to and he picked out some vanilla ice cream. We brought it home and he took one small taste and immediately said it made his lip and throat itch and started scratching his lips. He drank some water and was okay shortly after. Then today he wanted to buy something from the bake sale we had at church and he chose chocolate covered pretzels. I just bought them, didn't say a word about just having one bite, what they were made with, etc. since I am thinking all the talk may be adding to any fears of trying it. He started licking at it and same thing, said lip itched and throat, even said I wish I could get my hands in my throat to scratch it. I just said you will be okay, just breathe and he asked for water and I said will get you some as soon as we can. He seemed to calm down and by the time we reach the store, his left side of his face was red with some little bumps, had red areas on both wrists with some little bumps and was scratching at one hand. He drank some water and got over it and gave me the rest of his pretzels. His left check is still red and he is asleep but all sweaty on his back and was scratching at his neck some. So this is where we are with dairy at present.
Husband - asked him to fill out the questionnaire and he has forgotten it for a few days so tonight he is in front of tv watching some business related dvd so I said oh you should fill out the paperwork. He starts doing it and right away complains about the pen not working good, how confusing the questions are, etc. After he does them I said don't forget the details of when, what, why, how, etc. and then he complains about the pencil I gave him and how he can't write with it, how he doesn't know how to answer the questions, etc. so I said like which question are you having trouble with and tried to assist him and then he starts saying he is too tired to do it, didn't know it was going to take hours to fill out, can't believe he has to fill all all this out just for his eyes, on and on. I said this is a good opportunity to learn more about yourself. I said I see you are struggling with it, ask yourself why this is proving to be so hard for you. So we end up basically frustrated with each other. And I just said you wanted some help but you are not willing to do what's asked of you. But you are willing to go to some other doctor office, fill out paperwork, gets eyes tested, etc. but not willing to do this so don't do it. You are the one asking me for help with your eyes. The good thing is I am not all worked up about it. I see he is struggling and uncomfortable and know he has a hard time letting down the barriers, scared to let someone know what really goes on in his head. But I know it is for him to want to change things and I can only try to love him and support him through all this. But it is frustrating to think he has seen all we have gone through with our son and the biggest improvement has been working with you and cranial sacral therapy but yet deep down I don't think he is able to trust it, believe in it. He says what is he going to do, give me sugar pills. So I will just let things be for awhile and if he decides to finish filling it out I will send you the answers and if not then that will be that.
Should I give anything to our son with all that has occured in last couple of days or just let things be?
Thanks!
