Hello Zig,

Makes me happy to hear that you are taking Psorinum to warm you up. I personally know how important that is. If that one doesn't satisfy you, get back to Pankaj, ok?

Thanks Pat, that's so sweet of you! Have you taken this remedy as well? I hope that it helps me.

I appreciate your support.

I haven't taken this particular one, but A couple of others that I took helped tremendously.

My organs were terribly cold and now they are much better and my health has improved also. Just from having warmer organs.

I have learned that stress and trauma make our organs cold and homeopathy helps to overcome the shock and trauma and our organs start warming up and functioning more efficiently


Not always comfortable talking about my current health on here but you are welcomed to write to me at my personal e-mail.

Hi Joe,
I had a question regarding my treatment on arnica and nat phos 6x. I know that I'm not supposed to drink coffee, but today I did so, so that I could stay awake in my classes and to study.

My question is that by drinking coffee even once or twice, does that totally antidote all the other days of the remedy. I guess my question is how crucial is avoidance of coffee? and what about chocolate? Can a person have it occasionaly with the meds?
Thanks so much.

Pat,
I did send you an email a couple of days ago, hope that you recieved it. Take care.

Hello zig,

I'm sorry. I did not get your e-mail.

Can you send me another one.

Thanks.

Coffee, cola drinks, preserved meats that use Saltpeter all antidote Homeopathic remedies.

If you are using a remedy for an ailment you will go back to square one.

Chocolate is OK.

You should read the damage that coffee and drugs can do to a person on:

Joe,
Thanks. I guess it's pretty important to eliminate coffee and cola products from my diet. I will do it now.
One question...I've been using the arnica gel on my back muscles for pain and it's working wonderfully. In seconds, the pain is just numbed. But, after 1-2 hours, it comes back. Is this how the arnica wet dose works as well? It is effective when used, but once a person stops the remedy, the effects are gone? I'm feeling quite relaxed ever since the arnica and nat phos,and I wish to stay this way.

by the way, I noticed some pimples on my back with the arnica gel. is this normal?

I have some areas with acne on my face where the pimples are very persistent. They just do not go away! and they are quite big white head looking. What to do? just continue with arnica and wait?
Please send your advice.
Thank you,
zig

Pat,
I'll send you the email as soon as my finals are done in a couple of days... I'm going kind of crazy right now. Talk to you soon...

I believe that the Arnica gel is the cause of your pimples on your back. It is likely that you are proving the Arica which you used for numbing the pain in your back and since it has to be a strong dose to penetrate through the skin, it is causing other problems.

Hey Wait a minute.

I remembered that in your first post you asked for assistance to help your mother's back muscles which were sore.

Here is what you stated:

'Hi,
My question is that, is arnica 30c wet dose effective for chronic bursitis (muscle pain and inflammation). My mom is suffering very much on her shoulders, back, and neck. I just made them the remedy today. please any replies are appreciated. '

Who is the patient ?

You or your mum ?
 
Joe De Livera last decade
Hi Joe,
You are right, I had asked for arnica wet dose for my mom, who is now on the remedy. However, I am also taking it, and I have given it to my dad and mom-in-law for all the same reasons...my dad to mostly help with his hair loss...and me mostly for my acne at this point.

That's too bad that the arnica gel is causing pimples on my back, it seems I can't part with it now! : )

Hi Joe,
Remember I had taken your suggestion of Arnica 30x wet dose for my mom in law for her knee pain, and body pain in general. Well, I had explained to her that she should stop any other medications while on this remedy, however, she says that she is forced to take her prescription drugs for muscle pain relief. She says that she cannot move even to walk down the stairs without taking those meds. So, now I do not know what to tell her. She is still taking the arnica wet dose, but I don't know if it is helping her since she is taking other meds.

Please advise. What should we do now? Thank you.

Does your mom suffer from Osteo Arthritis ? If so the Arnica alone cannot help her.

Can you give me details of what she is suffering from ?
Does she experience pain in her knees when walking or when seated ?
With her knees bent or straight ?
How old is she and for how long has she been afflicted ?
What treatment is she taking for her pain now ? Name the drugs.
 
Joe De Livera last decade
Hi Joe,

Yes she does suffer from arthritis. She says that her knee aches constantly if she does not take her medication. However, her biggest complaint is a great lack in energy to do work. She is about 65 years old, and she has been suffering from this pain and fatigue for about two years now. She is taking naproxen 500 mg for her muscle pain which helps her. She wants to be able to move and function as she used to without depending on the meds, and vitamins.

Your advice is greatly appreciated.

These are the remedies which I have used for Arthritis which have helped many including my wife who is 70 years and with her elder sister were using the most powerful drugs including the dreaded Vioxx and Diclofenac Sodium by the ton which virtually destroyed their innards till I persuaded them to use my remedies. My wife is no more on any drugs whatever and what is more she appears to be cured as she does not use the homeopathic remedies on a daily basis and only when she experiences pain like when getting into a car and injuring some tender spot in her knee.

OK. Here are the remedies that I have used which I hope can help your mom:

Rhus Tox 1M for Arthritis
Hypericum 200 to dull the pain.

Both remedies to be taken in the wet dose and 1 teaspoonful Rhus Tox taken twice daily for the first week and then just once daily.

Hypericum can be taken every 4 hours when the pain will be felt and another dose taken.

Please note that this therapy must only be used in the wet dose. Please confirm that you know how to make it.

Stop all drugs and vitamins she is now taking as these homeopathic remedies will bring relief quickly.
 
Joe De Livera last decade
Hi Joe,
The wet dose for these remedies is made in 400mL of spring water shaken vigorously before taking correct?

Can you also recommend something for her mood, I mean she complains of feeling restless,and her heart feels like it's 'dropping'..? I cannot explain it in english very well, but it bothers her alot. She feels down and slump. And also her mouth has cold sores in it, they are bothering her very much, she has them often outside her lip, but not it's on the inside of her mouth.

Your advice is greatly appreciated.

Hi Zig,

I am concerned that your mother may be suffering from some heart condition that needs investigation. You have stated:

'she complains of feeling restless,and her heart feels like it's 'dropping'..? I cannot explain it in english very well, but it bothers her alot. She feels down and slump. '

Did you mean FALLS down ? Does she pass out ? I mean does she go unconscious ?

If your asswer is yes, she must see a doctor and have an ECG taken, her blood pressure checked and the usual blood tests done after which the doctor will have to take over.

Please reply my questions ASAP.

How old is your mother and how long has she been suffering from these problems ?
 
Joe De Livera last decade
Hi Joe,
No, she does not pass out. She has had blood tests done recently at her doctor visit. They didnt find anything serious. She does have arthritis, and a doctor had told her that she has a thyroid problem but I do not know the details of that. She had ad ECG and it was normal too. They said that her heart is working really well. My mom is 62 years old, and she's been suffering with these problems for about two years now.

Some other complaints are that she feels dizzy sometimes as she lays into her bed. Her mouth and lips get dry and seem as if she's dehydrated. Regarding the heart statement, she does not mean her heart literally. She is actually referring to feelings of hot flashes, moodiness, impatience. She also does not sleep very well. That's about all the information I have about her health. Thanks for looking into this.

I am relieved to learn that your mom is OK.

I believe that the remedies I have suggested will help her in a few days.

Please report progress from time to time.
 
Joe De Livera last decade
Thanks for your concern Joe. I will buy those remedies soon, and report her progress.

Talk to you soon.

Dear Joe,

I am writing to ask you a few questions about my mother-in-law's conditon. We haven't ordered the remedies you had suggested for arthritis yet. I'm actually more concerned about her mood. She says that she feels nervous all the time, and feels really hot. She feels slightly better if she showers or drinks lemon soda. She looks nervous also. We dont know what this problem could be, but she is being bothered a lot from it. Can you help me out with this please? Thank you so much.
 
zigkaddy last decade
I note that you have not started her on the remedies I prescribed for her Arthritis and her body pain. I feel that you should use these remedies ASAP and when you do please indicate her response.

I have not specialized in mental problems and although I am aware of some remedies I do not have sufficient experience in their use and their response.

I would prefer someone more competent than me to help her with the problems that you have indicated in your post.
 
Joe De Livera last decade
Ok, thank you Joe.

If anyone else can help me with the problems I have described in this post, I would greatly appreciate it.
