I am afraid that Arnica 6x may not help you for your hair loss as I have only used the 6 and 30c potencies. I used to recommend the 6c but the feedback suggested that the 30c was by far more potent in arresting hair loss.

I would suggest that you purchase some Arnica 30c and use the water dose method to take a teaspoonful twice daily.

You can read the forumla on many posts I have made for hair loss on this forum.

If as you state the pain you are experiencing under the soles of your feet is increasing, you are best advised to stop the 2 remedies that you are now taking.

I believe that your soles seem to lack the normal circulation of blood which they have when you are walking about during the day as you report pain only at night. Arnica is known to increase the flow of blood and it should help to reduce the pain in your soles, if my diagnosis is correct.

I would like you to take Arnica 30c in the Wet Dose made up as follows:

Get a 500ml bottle of Spring Water from your nearest supermarket.
Pour out 100ml
Drop in 3 pellets or 1 drop of liquid Arnica 30c into the 400ml water
Cap the bottle tightly and succuss it 4-6 times by banging on your palm and look out for the air bubbles to fizzle up from the bottom.
Pour out 1 teaspoonful of the potentized remedy and sip it twice daily with the last dose taken last thing at night.

You will also observe that you will sleep very deeply after the Arnica. I believe that this is part of the therapy as this deep sleep helps the body to recover better overnight.

Arnica is very safe in use and I have used it every night as a 'tonic' for the last 10 years.

Please report your response in a week after you start the therapy and remember that you must stop all other drugs and remedies that you are now taking as you have reported that they have not helped you.

I am happy to note that the Arnica 30c is helping you in a way that both you and I never expected in just 5 days. It usually takes about a week to act but the benefits are noticed from the morning after the first dose at night.

This is precisely the reason why I call it my MIRACLE REMEDY.

Arnica 6c is the remedy that I have used to help with ED in many cases with some success. You can use this lower potency in the same manner that you are now using the 30c which you can stop.

Your diabetes can be helped by Cinnamomum Ceylanicum 6c which I hope you can get in your part of the world. If you cannot do so you may use just half teaspoonful of Cinnamon powder per day which can be sprinkled in your food or taken as a tea (1/4 tsp twice daily)

I remembered advising you a few weeks ago to use Arnica for your ailment and that you reported that you got a great deal of relief (90%) on the 5th day.

You also mentioned that you were a Diabetic and I advised you to use Cinnamon which is now widely used for this ailment throughout the world.

I have recently received reports from some persons to whom I had prescribed Arnica for other ailments that they discovered that their blood sugar levels had gone down shortly after taking the Arnica and I am copying a post that I have made recently which is of interest:

"I would like to add another ailment that has reacted favourably to Arnica, Diabetes on which tests are on going in India to verify if my findings can be replicated under controlled test conditions.

I have made a post today which I shall copy below:

To Erika and Joy From Joe De Livera on 2005-09-19

Thank you for your inputs on Arnica. It gives me great satisfaction in being able to share my observations on the use of various remedies on an open forum such as this which gives those of us who are interested and dedicated to promoting Homeopathy, the possibility of sharing our successes and failures with remedies to treat various ailments. I believe that this is essential to ensure that homeopathy progresses into the future with remedies that were proved centuries ago being used for the treatment of ailments that are not listed in the Reps and MM's.

I was very interested to note that you, Erika had already discovered that Arnica 200 was more potent in reducing Blood Sugar and I shall mention it to my friends in India who are currently carrying out trials on Arnica and it effect on Diabetes. I note that you have also experience with using Szygium Q and I wonder what the results can be if this remedy is used daily. In the case of Arnica I have, as you probably know, used the lower potencies 6 and 30c every night for 10 years and can testify to its other advantages like acting as a 'tonic' in the body. This effect is useful when one is a senior citizen and at 76, I am surprised at myself and my ability to be active as I have been throughout my life, without any ache or pain, which I am now convinced is thanks to Arnica.

I do hope that others who may read this post will carry out their own investigations with Arnica for Diabetes and record their response on this forum. It will be observed that the use of Arnica is far better than the use of other drugs commonly prescribed for Diabetes which will eventually take its toll on the body.

Answering your question about using the 6x potency for Diabetes, I believe that you have already discovered your answer that this low potency does not work. I am confident that the 30c upwards should reduce your BS. I would not advise the use of the 200c on a daily basis which is essential for the control of Diabetes and suggest that you stay with the 30c which I have already used and discovered is very satisfactory to help Diabetics."

I would like to know your response to the Arnica that you have been taking for a few weeks and also if it has helped with your Blood Sugar.

Hi Joe,
Please let me know difference between 6x and 6c, as well as 30c and 30x.
I find the potencies in x series easily but not in c serires in the market.
Thanks
Zeek

6x potencies are equal to 1/1Millionth of the original remedy. They are usually triturated when 1 part of the salt is ground into 9 parts of Lactose and one part is taken from the second trituration and mixed into another 9 parts of lactose and the process continued 6 times over when the actual presence of the salt is 6 to the power 10 which equals 1 Millionth.

The 6c is equal to I Million Millionth. Try figuring that dilution out. It is mind boggling but the miracle is that it works to cure the ailment depending on the remedy used.

An extension of this theme is to equate the 30c potency which is equal to 1 drop of the Q or Mother Tincture diluted in the water of all the oceans of the world !

It is mind boggling how Homeopathic remedies work and the miracle is that they really do as you would no doubt have realized in the recent past with your own ailment for which I have prescribed Arnica 6c.

Please note that you must get the correct potency for your problem as the x series cannot be used in place of the 6c potency.

I feel that the improvement in your condition with the Arnica, Cinnamon combination is acceptable for the moment.

I would not like to experiment with another remedy for your feet as it is possible that the major problem that is now addressed successfully by the medication you are now taking, can be antidoted.

Suggest you keep up the present therapy and it would be useful if you can keep records of your Blood sugar levels daily and indicate how the remedies are helping you on this forum weekly.

Please remember that this combination can drop your BS level dramatically as I have noticed in the case of some patients who used them with their standard tablets and one even passed out due to low sugar.

You are advised to reduce your dependence on tablets and keep up the medication for your Diabetes with the Arnica and Cinnamon only depending of course on your BS readings.

I believe that your wife's rheumatism is not "Rheumatoid" but it is "Osteo". Rheumatoid A is usually caused by an auto immune response from the body that is triggered by the dreaded bacteria Beta Haemolyticus Streptococcus which can also cause damage to the Heart valves and can cause Nephritis in the Kidneys.

I would advise you to have your wife seen by an MD to identify if she is in fact suffering from Rheumatoid A or Osteo A. If the MD states, after tests that she is suffering from Rheumatoid A, she MUST take a long course of Penicillin to eradicate this dangerous bacteria which usually starts by invading the throat after a cold and can remain dormant for years after.

What is her age and weight and has she noticed any pain in her knees ? Does she have difficulty in breathing when climbing stairs ?

Please contact me again either by email or on this forum after these tests.

Please report on the status of your own ailment from time to time as many who are using this Arnica 30 combination with Cinnamon 1/4 teaspooon twice daily have discovered that they can do without the tablets.

The Arnica 30 is now under test in Mumbai in a Homeopathic hospital and they will be submitting a report shortly.

Correction on line 1 replace rheumatism with Arthritis

I believe that your wife's ARTHRITIS is not....

GOOD OLD JOE and his miracle remedies,long live joe,keep on ur good work

Thank you for your vote of confidence.

You may have noticed that I tend to use Arnica often, sometimes for ailments that are not listed in the MM's and Reps. It seems to be more that a coincidence that I have discovered many uses for Arnica like for Diabetes, Prostate problems, Insomnia, Eczema and many others.

I like to share my 'discoveries' with others, especially Homeopaths who may perhaps remember that someone in Sri Lanka had used Arnica for an ailment for which it is not normally used.

I hope to share my 'discoveries' with all who like to think of them in their own practice in the future.

joe let me tell fect i,my son [who is qualified homeopathic but not prectesing] we only used ARNICA so many times with bull eye succes as bellow one of lady[ after babies birth] was suffering depression i offer her husband homeo help ,he refused after few weeks he was on my door with my son inlaw. i gave him arnica 30 x ...3 drops 4 time daily in little water believe me joe she was, cured they trust homeopathy and --i allways recomend ARNICA 30x to a lady soon after having a baby .its garunty will help after birth problums in ladies,it is remedy for so many after birth complications.was used by super homeopaths.so for i never charge any thing to any body in my life but if person is rich give him list and tell himfrom where to buy.
for ur information rich dont come 2 homeopath until they r told .U r uncured.
every time a chid bang his head give ARNICA for precation.Joe excuse my english keep on ur good work. Arnica is good after operation that what my son said but i dont know.i used only when i had problum when my left side went numb ,stiff,no circulation i took arnica 200 and 30 with few other remedies in few days face was normal,only eye wassliding down but it is ok now,after few days one night suddenly i start bleeding from nose and mouth from same side,end up in hospital they stoped few med and start few new ones,thats life Joe stil big thanks to hpomeopathy its grate help but joe we cant live with out elopathy no mater how expensive and how many after effects,they r advance and they got liacense to kill.

I am glad to note that you too have used Arnica in varied potencies to help others.

I first started using it in 1996 for my Prostate as I could not use Hytrin that was prescribed for easing the urine flow but when I discovered that I was allergic to it, I changed to Conium and Sabal both of which were effective but not as effective as Arnica 30 which I took for a small skin wound on my shin. I discovered that the Arnica was by far better than the standard remedies and took it twice daily till I was in surgery in 2002 when I used it post surgery instead of the standard pain medication used, Morphine which I ordered to be removed. I took Arnica 30 which was the only potency I had when I was visiting the US every 2 hours and made history in the hospital by walking on the 3rd day after surgery without any unbearable pain which the staff informed me they usually deadned with morphine which I insisted be removed from the IV drip against the wishes of the surgeon and nursing staff. I was discharged on the 5th day and was able to walk out of hospital to their amazement.

I have used Arnica every night since that time and I believe that I owe to it my present state of wellness. I would recommend that you and all who read this post also use it in the Split dose, 1 teaspoonful every night and the difference will be felt on the morning after the first dose taken at night as you will sleep very soundly. I believe that this deep sleep is the reason for the feeling of wellness far above what you would otherwise have woken up with.

I believe that I can claim to be perhaps the only person in the world who has taken Arnica every night for 10 years and I hope that others too will use it and experience for themselves the difference that it can make in their lives in the future.

I believe that it keeps the Blood pressure under control and I have recently discovered that it also helps with reducing Blood Sugar levels which can be accentuated with Cinnamon. There are many other used for Arnica which are not listed in the MM's and I hope that others too will contribute their own findings using Arnica as the remedy.

I note that you use drugs when necessary and you may like to know that I have not used any drug whatsoever since my surgery in 2002 and have only used Homeopathic remedies for all ailments that I occasionally suffer from like colds and throat infections.

Please feel free to keep in contact with me as I am always glad to help anyone in distress with Homeopathic remedies. You may contact me by email on
