Re: Osteoarthritis

I read some threads regarding arthritis and I was impressed so am joining this forum. Please help me.I am 63 years old and my weight is 250 pounds, height is 5'.

I have osteoarthritis for a long time - about 40 years, when I was 26 years old in 1968. At that time it was in the ankles. I could not stand up right away, if I sat down on the floor. This I felt when I used to get up in the morning and I took about a minute to start walking.

Well time passed. Then it developed in my both knees. I could not climb even a 5-6' stair. In 1984 I consulted a homeopathic doctor who gave me Causticum 1M and Lycopodium 200 to be taken weekly. Surprisingly enough after a month I found that I didn't have the pain. This continued for some time. After 5-6 years it again started. I tried the same medicine again but it didn't work. I tried them at different at times 2-3 time but they didn't work.

In 1998 I had an accident which caused my shoulder replacement, and since then my life has changed. My hand does not work naturally. My arthritis of knees got worse and worse. In 2002 I developed a mild diabetes (I am taking metformin 2 tabs a day for it) and for 6-8 months I have swelling on my whole body. Swelling is more prominent in both legs. Sometimes it is difficult to wear shoes even.

Presently I am taking Meloxicam 15mg once a day but it doesn't affect much, although when i don't take it, I miss it. Now the situation is this I can't walk in the home even. I have not gone for shopping for 10 months.
In factr the prblem seems of bearing the weaight and of course some range of motion also. I do not want to stand up. I can sit the whole day, no problem, no pain, but standing and walking is like dying for me.
Please help me. I will appreciate.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Your most urgent need is to reduce your weight.

I have prescribed Nat Phos 6x dose 2 tablets taken twice daily but in your case, you can take it thrice daily after each meal. You must record your weight and report your weight reduction on this forum weekly. You can count on a drop of 1kg per week.

Arnica 30c in the wet dose will also help your general state of health and may even help your shoulder discomfort.

The wet dose is made by inserting 3 pellets of the remedy into a 500ml bottle of spring water and you will shake the bottle hard before you sip a teaspoonful which is the dose.

It is premature to treat your Arthritis at this early stage and I shall indicate the necessary remedies in about a month after watching your weight reduction.

It is understood that you will stop all other drugs and remedies you may now be using as the Nat Phos will only work to reduce your weight if you are completely free of other remedies. The Arnica is OK.

Dear Joe,
I am sorry to report you after a long time. My first post was on Sep 18, 2006. You suggested me to take three remedies - (1) 1/4 tsp Cinnamon twice a day to reduce my Diabetes, (2) Nat Phos 6x 3x a day to reduce my weight, and (3) Arnica 30x twice a day I don't know why.

I started these remedies on Sep 23. As you said 'you might not need to take med for Diabetes any more', almost after a week I could stop my allopathic med for it till about 10 days ago. But 10 days ago my doctor measured my sugar after 2 hours of taking food and the reading came 9.6. He considered it higher and wanted me to increase the dose, but I knew that I was not taking the med, so I had to continue my allopathic med. But otherwise, I never found my sugar going down very low, or very high. I think cinnamon worked, but why did the reading come 9.6, I don't know.

(2) Nat Phos - I am still taking Nat Phos, but it is not helping me out in any way. In fact I was kept fast (fast means taking food only once a day in the night - nothing in the daytime) from July 5 to Sep 23, and I did feel that I lost a few, maybe 5-7 pounds, but later I checked I was wrong. Now I am taking my food restrictively, not normally, still my weight is the same - 258 pounds. I am really baffled as what happened to my fasts and the remedy?

(3) Arnica - I don't know what for I have been taking it, so I cannot tell you its results.

I am sorry that I am reporting you so late, but I thought, 'let me give these remedies some time to affect, as they are not the magic pills'. So I am reporting you this after giving them enough time to affect.

Thanks for your assistance and guidance.

I note that the Nat Phos 6x has not helped to reduce your weight although you had stopped all other drugs you were using and this is I believe because it is only effective for about 80% of the cases that use it and you may be one that it does not help. You will have to continue with your present diet regimen to reduce your weight as this can prove to be a problem later.

If your Blood Sugar level has gone up you will have to use the drugs you have been prescribed and also use Arnica 30c (not 30x) in the wet dose with 1/4 teaspoonful of Cinnamon powder and you should also monitor your BS level as often as possible as it is possible that the combination of your drugs and the Arnica/Cinnamon therapy will bring it down fast and this should be monitored with a Digital Glucometer which you are advised to get and use. You can get instructions for its use from the vendor.

I note that Deoshlok has prescribed Ruta 6c and Hecla Lava 3x and you may consider using his therapy instead of mine.

You must understand that your case is complicated and you will have to be patient and do your best to reduce your weight which is the reason for your Arthritis which may unfortunately increase with age.

Dear Dr. Deoshlok,

You had posted this earlier:

'1. Ruta 6c three times in a day
2. Hecla Lava 3x 1 grain three times in a day for long period
try and write me.
dr.deoshlok sharma'

Will this also work for a 80 year old female patient.
Pl. guide...I want to try it on one of my family members.

Thanks and regards,

Dear Osteopatient

This for that therapies won't work.

Those few who report some amelioration do so most probably due to placebo effect.

In the long term they too will realise that it is useless.

Forget about Arnica. Use cinnamon alone, and don't stop your allopathic medication for diabetes for some more time.

Regarding your arthiritis you may try ruta 6c as suggested by Dr.Deoshlok.

One medicine at a time. Stop all other medications including nat.phos,arnica etc.

Report response after a week.
