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!

Hi Dr.,
Son - saying his throat is sore this morning.

Husband - apologized last night before I went to bed. Looked me in the eyes and said I am really sorry and I think it was really sincere. In the past he never apologized and then in the last year he would say sorry I was so irritable this morning or something along those lines. So maybe it was a small break through. I think he knows I was only trying to help him. So I just said I am just asking you to move out of your comfort zone when he apologized. I also said I love you. And the getting upset and worked up about all this is just trying to tell you something and you have to be willing to move through it and he says I know. But whether or not he fills out the form is another thing but it is in his hands.

I had this thought this morning, just kind of popped into my head but maybe I was thinking about our son's issue with dairy. I took calcium supplements during my pregnancy, supposedly dairy free, from oyster I think because I suspected I had issues with dairy and this is what the naturopathic doctor prescribed. Not sure if that has anything to do with anything but thought I would share.
Thanks!

hey don worry about the issues your son is having. since it is resolving after drinking some water he is doing fine. otherwise he will end up having wheezing after such attacks isnt it.
let your husband take his time, if he gives the detials i can get him some medicines and more over if he is not having belief do not force him to do it.
Don give your son anything right now.
 
Dr. Bagyavasan.k last decade
Hi Dr., Son went to school, picked him up and he is doing fine. Yes, no wheezing so will be thankful for that.

Husband - Yes, not going to push him to do it. He has the paperwork and if he wants me to submit his answers I will wait for him to say so.

Father - my sister mentioned my father has been quieter than usual and thinks he had ran out of his medicine. Not sure of all that he is on, I think anti-depressants, high blood pressure and/or cholesterol medicine, many times he refuses to take. He keeps talking about how he wants to go home. I think he was feeling better and wanted to exercise or do something and being in the nursing home doesn't really support that. They only give them physical therapy when they first come in there to try to get them to be able to move a wheelchair. I think I need to have a talk with my Mom on how we can support him in doing what he wants and it is a hard thing to do since I am usually met with opposition since they have their 'relationship' stuff has them not being in a loving and supportive place at the moment. So I will just have to pray/mediate for some guidance in this situation. I did want to ask about next steps for my father. He had nux vomica, Day 1, 15, & 25. Any next steps? Didn't get the stuff for his coughing yet and I asked my family if he was still having that issue and should find out today. It sounded like he had really regained his appetite and was doing so much better after the remedies on day 15 and even after 25 but then kind of a dip.
Thanks!

The next step for your father is to increase the power of nux vomica i am not sure what we gave, so if it was 200 then increase the power to 1M and the dosage will be one dose once in 15 days.
Thanks.

Hi Dr.,

Just wanted to let you know my son complained of throat scratching last night when he was eating some fries, pineapple and cucumbers. He was also scratching those places on his wrists. I think he may have been wheezing ever so little last night or raspy breathing and some coughing this morning but is out of bed playing and overall doing well. He didn't have a bowel movement until late yesterday and it was smaller than usual. I am sure he will be fine but just thought I would tell you how things progressed after eating the dairy.

Yes, it was nux vomica 200 so I will get the 1M. So whenever I get him the 1M my family can give him his first dose?
Thanks!
 
congested last decade
your son is resolving we can just leave him like that, still needs help but not now, once there is no wheezing even a bit we will target the itching and skin. keep giving restricted foods.
about your father yes as soon as it reaches him give him the first dose, it is remarkable change we are seeing in him as well, support him as the medicine works, we will get the most of the medicines.
Thanks.

Hi Dr.,

Just wanted to let you know my son ended up wheezing most of yesterday afternoon but did not interfere with him doing anything. He ended up skipping dinner and going to bed a little earlier. His face got real red and hot for a bit, he sweated on back and head for awhile and slept through the night. He has a cluster of bumps on the end of his nose, looks like cold sore blister bumps we get on our mouth sometimes, he got on his nose a few times when he was younger. He is going strong today, just had an hour gym class and finished some painting so we made it through that one with relative ease.
Husband - wants to finish paperwork so I can submit, says his eyes have been getting worse in last few weeks. Says he has a hard time making marks on a wall, seeing ruler, pen marks, etc. and they feel tired and blurry. He did most of it the other night when he got all frustrated so we will see how that goes. Can he take ruta in the meantime to help ease eyeaches and strains?
Thanks!

Ok so after a long time wheezing, we will since it has gone by itself we will wait again. about your husband he can take ruta for strains.
Thanks.

Hi Dr.,

Having some real uncomfortable head pressure. I think mainly from the cat because it is different from other times I feel tension in my head, this time it feels like I can't keep my eyes open and it is limited to forehead. Can I take a dose of pulsatilla? Also started my period today and feeling very achy, especially on my Right side.

If you didn't get the answers for my husband I will send again tomorrow.
Thanks!

Hi Dr.,

The crisis for me is over. No more head pain and/or pains associated with my period. However, I did notice this morning a small outbreak of a few little white bumps with a larger red area on Left glute. It has appeared there a few times before, I remembering mentioning it in one of my posts but not sure how long ago that was. It doesn't hurt, isn't as large as in the past. Also did notice Friday after taking the causticum that some things seem to loosen up a little more around pelvic area and right hip.

Okay I don't see my husband's answers so I will post again later today.

Son - Had some unusual poops, one the other day, green and mushy. Didn't have a bowel movement yesterday and was a little weepy in afternoon, took a 3 hour nap and felt better. Had a bowel movement first thing this am, part mushy and part more dry with small ball formations. He is doing well, sore on end of nose almost healed. Eye about the same. I do see that the red that was in the corner of the left eye pretty much everyday since this begin seems to be gone. We are doing eye patch an hour a day and taking the remedy, also had a cranial sacral session once last week and week before.

Okay, thats it for now. Hope you had a great weekend.

Hi Dr.,
Son - Left ear has gotten red on outside a couple of times yesterday, same ear that has done that in the past, once after swimming pool and then a couple of other times. He is complaining of the pain going from ear into throat and now and then holds hand over ear. Left ear is the same side of eye issue. Anything we can do if pain persists into the night?

Mom - my left leg (side that small blister bumps and redness popped up on glute/hip area) - behind the knee is very swollen. Not causing me too much discomfort but noticeably swollen.

Thanks!

Hi Dr.,

I don't know if you saw my last posts about the blistery bump and red patch on left hip/glute area and how I am swollen behind the left knee. But I still have the swelling in that knee. Also we had fish sticks and brocolli for dinner and I notice every time my son and I eat that we both get itchy on our legs. I just checked in on him in bed and he was scratching at his legs. I am feeling really off today, just slight headache, just feel sluggish. I had the final part of my teeth cleaning last night and they applied some floride to my teeth and my mouth just feel achy and my head. I have some cavities and one tooth with a filling and has a cavity, a piece of it broke off last night when she was cleaning it. I am concerned about my teeth. She said I had about 6 teeth that have cavities and/or need the filling replaced since pieces are missing. Would like your opinion on what to do. I have amalgam and of course have heard all the warning about the mercury and I have had a mouth full of fillings most of my life and when they were all replaced around 1995 I remember that was when I was feeling the worst in my life so I wondered it that had anything to do with it. So the dental hygenist in training last night tells me the new stuff has the dangerous stuff in plastics so which is the lesser evil. And what can I do now to save the teeth I have? One thing I do notice in the last month or so is that I crave cold, sweet drinks. While I don't drink soda with high frutose corn syrup I like yerba matte teas, fruit juices in sparkling water, still high in sugar. Where before I denied myself all these items now the scale seesm to be tipping to the other side where I feel I want them daily.

I pick up my Causticum 1M tomorrow so I will be able to take on Friday. Is that all I need to take?

Also I know you mentioned waiting until my son has no more wheezing - for next things so is there anything I need to do with him at this moment, other than ruta? Should I cook things with butter and dairy and let him try them? I haven't given him anything and will if he asks but we have just avoided it so long most things he won't ask for since we don't eat them. For example I would make pancakes or stuffing if I thought he could eat it but never have and don't do it now since most contain some dairy. Should I just let him eat anything and everything and handle what comes up when it comes up? I guess I just hate rocking the boat, especially with the eye issue, thinking these things are additional burdens for the body to handle. Please advise.

He went for his 3rd cranial sacral therapy session and the therapist felt alot of release in the temporal and sphenoid bones and my son mentioned how his vision had changed and she said she saw the pupil move slightly. We haven't seen it move past center but something looks different, improved so we will see how things look over the next few days and let you know what we observe.

Will also be getting the nux vomica 1M for my father and mailing to him in the next day or so. Sounds like he is guieter but when he does speak it is not so kindly to my family members. Just doesn't show any appreciation for anything they try to do for him. I know it is hard and frustrating to all involved. He keeps telling my Mom, 'You will get me out of this place by summer'. While I see it as a good thing she doesn't. She doesn't believe she can take care of him physically and even if he can walk handle him mentally. But I just tried to remind her we don't know what tomorrow brings and there is always hope. But I feel for them both. But I will just focus on what I can do to help and try not to get too caught up in the whole emotional turmoil involved in this situation.

Thanks again!

Hey sorry was little busy the last couple of days.
Well you can take your next dose of causticum 1M tomorrow, also about your son, give him all the dairy foods and also give him a dose of tuberculinum 1M tomorrow and other wise nothing to give him.
Just the ruta to be continued.
Other wise i feel he is getting better and this remedy will take care of it.
Now start giving him all the restricted foods.

Thanks.

Hi Dr.,

Just wanted to let you know I have been having a terrible case of face pain these last few days. My entire face, sinuses feel swollen, head aches, face aches. I took one dose of arnica the the other night. It came after the floride treatment Monday night. Yesterday the left side eased up but then Right side was feeling worse. This morning a little pain of pain around eye and jaw but I am thinking the worse is over or at least I hope. I ended up with another cold sore coming up on Right corner of mouth, a bump on skin above mouth in addition to the 2 cold sores I had on other side of mouth. Last night I had a case of diarrhea. The bump on glute is almost healed, a scab now. The tension on left side of belly, directly above scar is where I have been feeling alot of tension and in the area around the breakout on left hip, very tight tissue when I massage or press around that area. So that is where things are for me. Took my dose of causticum 1M this morning already and will see how things go.

Son - Gave him one dose of tub. So we are not giving him Calc carb this time along with it?

Thanks!

Hi Dr.,

We are having great weather so we were out at the park this morning. I am a little concerned by things I saw with my son. As I have mentioned in earlier post I have always saw a little something off in Right hip. We noticied mostly when he was learning to ride his tricycle and we saw that leg and foot turned outwards. So today we were doing rollerblades and he was sort of dragging the right foot and only using the left. So I told him lets do left, right, left, right and he tried it. So later we were playing on playscape and I asked him to do something with me and we did one finger to nose while walking putting one foot in front of the other, without looking down at feet. His right foot didn't quite go right in front of let and the toes pointed out some. So with all going on with eye...this makes me wonder if more isn't going on here.
Let me know your thoughts please. Thanks!

Thanks for your mail and for your tooth issues please take flouric acid 30 once in three days. for about a month and then we will see how changes are.

For your cold sores and bumps don worry about the skin coming up it is a good sign and then let it come out.

About your son it is a concern to be taken care of.
just wait for another 15 days, mean while order calc flour 30 and keep. once 15 days from tuberculinum, start giving him doses of calc flour 30 (4 drops every day).
Things will get resolved slowly.
Thanks.

Hi Dr.,

Just wanted to update you on our status.

Mom - I have been very active these last few days, taking 45 minute walks outside, running up and down stairs and bleachers, rollerblading, etc. I am surprised at how well I am recovering from these physical things. I noticed yesterday that I feel more sensation in my calf/shin on left leg which is the leg that has bothered me most of my life. Also another little small patch of bumps popped up last night right under where the other patch was. Also felt more loosening happening in lower belly/right side, etc. The itching had tampered off for awhile but had an episode last night and the night before, extreme itching all around belly button, turned red and on thighs, and all down the leg.

Son - He picked out a piece of apple crumb cake yesterday at a bake sale and I let him have it. He ate it with nothing happening at the moment. I am not sure what was in it but probably some eggs and milk or butter but trying to find out. He did alot of physical activity with us yesterday, ran alot and climbed bleachers. He later took a nap and woke up and said my backahces and asked for some water with lemon. Later after he got up and moving around seemed better. Then later started coughing off and on. Went to bed, got hot and pulled off shirt, was scratching his inner thighs alot during the night and coughing again this morning. But after he got up and got ready for school he was just fine.

I will order the remedies you suggested for us today.
Thanks!

Hi Dr.,

Can't believe I forgot to tell you the GREAT news. My son's left pupil moved all the way to the left last night! We have noticed since his cranial sacral therapy (CST)session this past Tues. that the eye wasn't looking so abnormal. And then yesterday my husband said look at his eyes they just seem so much straighter and they did. So last night we were reading books and for some reason I asked do you see double now and he said yes so I back up and asked again he said yes so then I put up the finger and had him follow it and 'bam' the eye moved back and forth. So hopefully things will just continue to improve each day. He goes for another CST session tomorrow so we will see how it goes.

Thanks a million!

Oh good then all in all good news.
Glad things are getting better.
Try giving more of the restricted foods and he should be fine, also keep giving ruta.

About yourself start working out a lot, do as much as physical activity as you can and you will be fine.
Thanks.

Hi Dr.,

My son is home from school today since his tummy aches and his throat is sore. He was having alot of mucous in his nose before the dose of Tub on Friday. Then on Sat. he had lots and lots of yellow mucous coming out of his nose. Then we did all the physical activity on Sat. & Sun. and I think he got a little run down. He says just his throat hurts now when he swallows but overall he seems good.

Mom - Yes, I am very excited about getting more physical. I took another long walk this morning enjoying our warm weather.
I haven't mention my belly issues and bowel movements because I assumed all things will improve over time. But I go from mushy bowels to diarrhea like bowels sometimes but overall they are moving so better compared to the past. One thing I am noticing and just wanted to mention is that I seem to have more grey hairs at temple and above ears. I really didn't have any grey haris until the last few years and figured it was all the stress in my life. So just wanted to let you know about it.

What is next steps for me? Do I take the causticum 1m once a week or is this wait for 15 days?
Thanks!

Hi Dr.,

Mom - Having a rough week since Mon. evening. After son's gym class I started having to clear my throat alot and then throat, ears, and even roof of my mouth ached. It hurt to swallow next couple of days. Yesterday morning coughed up some yellow mucous but not too much. Today I coughed up more this morning and now my left nostril is running clear mostly, other side normal or slightly stopped up. But main thing going on today is alot of sneezing, overall tiredness. Throat/glands were definitely swollen last couple of days. I think I am over the worst of it, just sneezing and feeling run down. Skipped the workout today since I just didn't have the energy to do it. Also had the itchness of the entire genital/anal area this morning after bowel movements.

Update for Son - My son was having alot of mucous even before we took the Tub. on Friday. But then on Sat. lots and lots of yellow mucous was continually coming out. This week on for a few days. Then Mon. night, same night my throat started with soreness, he started couging some, then woke up Tues. am with sore throat and didn't go to school. Was overall feeling okay but the throat. Then Tues. night he was wheezing. At first I thought he as having a nightmare, he was breathing hard and quick. I touched him lightly and asked if he was having a nightmare. He didn't wake up. Then he commenced to clawing his inner thighs like nothing I have seen in a long, long time. A red patch was on the Left inner thigh and he was scratching left one mainly but did scratch both thighs. They both have alot of little red bumps, rashiness on them now. So the wheezing and scratching lasted for about 30 minutes straight and then he settled down and went back to sleep. The poop next afternoon was light green and next day a pile of mush.

I have ordered the next remedies for us both and should get sometime late next week.

Not sure if you saw my last post. I was questioning about next steps with causticum 1M. Do I take every week or wait 15 days? Do I take the thuja again? I saw something about warts along with info about thuja. I remember when I was a little girl of about 8 or 9 I had a wart on my mouth. I think my Mom had it burned off and it returned. Then she took me to see an old man that lived up the road. He said something to me, or touch, don't really remember the details but told me to try to forget about it. And one day I looked in mirror and it was gone. Feel like another cold sore is popping up on my lip today.

Hi Dr.,

Wanted to find out next steps for me and my son. He is coming up on Day 15 (today, Mar. 19) since last dose of tub and has had 3 wheezing spells, counting a mild case last night. But he got through them fine. We are allowing more foods and only contact with dairy we know of is when he wanted to try mashed potatoes we purchased somewhere and did have milk and butter in them and he said they made his throat itchy and stopped eating them. We have been continuing the ruta and wondering do we just continue on until eye gets better? Had the follow up with opthamalogist today, seemed impressed the pupil was moving but on other hand thought little unusual that misalignment is still happening. We do plan to continue with the cranial sacral work because it seems like after each session more progress is made but just wondering about the ruta. Also do we start the Calc flour tomorrow and do everyday for a month?

Okay, you asked for an update for me after 15 days since taking Causticum 1M, tomorrow is Day 15. I do feel like alot of things have opened up in hips and overall. Still feel tension in Left hip and leg. When those bumps pop up on glute the muscle tissue all around it becomes very tight/tense and seems to stay that way for quite awhile. Also the bumps and then scab seems, to me, to take a long time to heal completely. Still feel there is tension is overall abdominal area but it has improved but still very fatty, lumpy feeling and just overall integrity of the muscles just don't seem to be there. But I am getting more range of motion in hips, groin, pelvic region, etc. Still feel an area of tension below the scar and a small area above scar on left side that seems like the nerve is not fully functioning or some small area is cut off, not totally numb but less energy/life force in that area.
Bowels still range from mild constipation, somewhat diarrhea or very mushy. Just seems like I am lacking the energy to release full bowel movements. In the past, prior to pregnancy, I go out for 45 min. walk or run and come back have a bowel movement. Now I exercise and many times nothing happens. But I don't feel so bad like I used to when things are backed up.

The itching has really reduced. Had a spell last night and it seems like I was really, really tired after doing a day of squats, step ups, then had a massage client, etc. so body was just tired and I had a short bout of itching on my thighs. But that has decreased by at least 75%.

Please send next steps for me and my son since I am a little unclear at the moment. I am currently doing the calc flouride, did Day 1 & 3 so want to clarify that I do every 3rd day? And do we do Calc flour with my son starting tomorrow? Anything else?

Mailed off my father his nux vomica 1M. Does he take a dose every 4 hours on Day 1 or just one dose first thing in am?

My face pain, sinus stuff is moving around, one side one day, other side other day. Last night it was Left side of face, above ear and jaw and teeth on that side. Took a dose of pulsatilla and later arnice to be able to sleep. Please let me knwo if there is something else I should take since this has been hanging on for almost 2 weeks now.
Thanks Much! Hope you have recovered fully by now.
Blessings, Wanda

Thanks for the mail and the post.
Son: Don worry about the wheezing spells, keep giving the foods to him. Give one dose of Tuberculinum once in a month, and calc carb 200 once in 15 days. calc flour and ruta on a daily basis.

YOU: For you i should suggest take causticum 1M only once in a month. and calc flouride on a regular basis. nothing else to be taken and also Thuja 1M monthly once as well.

For your father one dose frit thing in the morning not every 4 hours.

if there is any wheezing attach for your son in between then give him a dose of pulsatilla 200 it should take care of the problem, but do not use regularly, only if needed.
Thanks.
