Chronic Cerebral Spinal Venous Insufficiency with lower limb paralysis

My husband was exposed to uranium 5 years ago. He already had high levels of arsenic and mercury in his body. An MRI revealed brain and spinal scarring. 1 year ago he stopped walking and started using a motorized scooter. He currently cannot move his legs or feet at all. Two months ago he received treatment for Chronic Cerebral Spinal Venous Insufficiency. He had 4 clogged veins angioplastied and 1 stent. Recently his blood clotted a full tubing for an IV and he has been put on 400 units of heparin 2x daily.

He easily gets swollen ankles, especially the right. 2 hrs. after eating his voice will become slurred and he will have difficuly sitting up or using his hands to eat. He cannot sleep lying down for the extreme pain in his lower back. He experiences continual abdominal tightness.

He desperately would like to walk. We would appreciate any advice you are willing to give. Thank you.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Please take three doses of Radium Brom 200 as follows and see how that affects in next 15 days (only 3 doses in 15 days).

day 1 morning
1st dose

day 1 evening
2nd dose

day 2 morning
3rd dose

One dose means
If the medicine is in pills form 2 pills. Don't touch pills with hand. Use cap of bottle to take pills.
If the medicine is in liquid dilution form, 2 drops in some 20 ml water. Sip up slowly.

Please follow homeo restrictions like no coffee, no raw onion/garlic, no strong perfumes, don't eat or drink anything within 30 minutes before or after taking medicine.

Thank you. I will purchase that and report back to you after the 15 day time period.

we got the Radium Brom yesterday and my husband took the 3 doses. I was just reviewing your instructions and am sorry that my husband drank water. Should we start over? Thank you. I am sorry that I did not follow your instructions exactly.

Please don't start over again. Let us see how he responds in 15 days.

We have seen some noticeable changes during this 15 day period. The second day my husband felt very ill and spent most of the day in his recliner unable to do much more than sleep.

Days 5-8 he felt very hopeful. He has not needed to take the heparin to thin his blood. When at the doctor taking blood to UV irradiate, his blood flows out freely and has not clotted at all.

My husband has not yet been able to move his legs on his own but they are moving quite a bit at night while he is sleeping.

On the negative side, he has developed incontinence in the last 11 days.

I have read about Gelsemium Sempervirens 30 for incontinence in your forum posts. I am wondering about this for him. Also, I like to use essential oils but wonder if their use can interfere with homeopathy.

Please give him causticum 30 in the morning and evening for 2 days and see how that affects in next 10 days.

I will post again after 10 days, but am so excited to say that the incontinence is gone!My husband's left leg (the one that worked the best the longest) is picking up his toes involuntarily and has been moving in his sleep as well. He has also had a much easier time boosting himself up into the passenger seat of our car. Thank you so much!!

There is no need to give causticum if he is doing well. So please don't give him causticum.

We are very much looking forward to continued improvements and, eventually, walking!! Thank you for your part in this!

One thing I forgot to mention is that he has been sneezing very often this afternoon and evening. This was a symptom he first experienced when he was first ill 5 years ago after his uranium exposure.

I have been without internet access for a week. I apologize for not getting back to you after the ten day period since Dennis took the Causticum.

His incontinence is gone, his slurred voice is gone and his back pain is improving.

He is working very hard with a physical therapist to walk. He is improving arm, back and abdominal strength. His reflexes are improving so that he is able to pick up his leg with pressure applied to the bottom of his foot at the toes and his toes lift up when I am helping him put his foot in his pants.

Dennis is also awake much more. He used to sleep until 10 or 11 in the morning and is now happy to get up at 7:30.

We are thrilled! Thank you! Do you have a 'next step' suggestion?
 
niebuhrfamily last decade
Please repeat causticum 30 for 2 days if his improvement comes to a standstill. There is no need to repeat the remedy if he continues to improve under the influence of earlier doses.

My husband had phlebotomy today. His blood clotted so severely in the tubing and his port that after 200 ccs the nurse had to stop. Any suggestions?

Thank you so much!
 
niebuhrfamily last decade
Please give him a single dose of Radium Brom 200 and see how it affects in next few days.

My husband felt ill the next day after Radium but his back pain is substantially improved.. He has been struggling with very stiff legs with exertion or stress. When moving him from his motorized chair to another chair it is as if his legs push but get stuck at the end of the push & cannot relax/bend back.
 
niebuhrfamily last decade
Can you make a suggestion for my husband's extremely stiff legs? Thank you!
