Tinnitus surrendered

Tinnitus surrendered to the Dynamic Force of Petroleum and Natrum Salic.

Mr. Jaffar Zaidi, 56 years of age and a banker by profession in Islamabad had a severe attack of vomiting in December, 2009. The vomiting as reported badly effected his sense of hearing with an additional problem of Tinnitus. He came to contact me in January, 2010 after having fruitless allopathic treatment. Petroleum-200 + Natrum Salic.-200 (a recommended combination by Dr. Koppikar) alternated by Chininum Sulph.-30 was given to the banker for one week. The medicines showed a slight improvement in tinnitus. The same prescription was repeated for another week which further improved the condition of the patient. However, the hearing problem was still there for which Kali Mur.-3X in triturated form was additionally given to be taken with warm water at least twice a day. After a period of two weeks, both the problems of tinnitus and deafness were entirely cured.

Mucous Cyst (Mucocele)

Mucous Cyst (Mucocele)

On 23rd February, 2010, Mrs. Nancy contacted me through the following E-mail:-

Date: Tue, 23 Feb 2010 22:37:37 -0500
From: ncolaiaco@optonline.net
Subject: can you help: oral mucocele
To: hdrsmahmood@hotmail.com

Dr. Mahmood:

Thank you for your encouraging website on homeopathy. Perhaps you can help me find the most appropriate homeopathic remedy for my husband. He had surgery on a fibroma, caused by accidental biting while eating. The oral surgery removed the fibroma from the inside lower lip. He now developed a mucous cyst ( mucocele) at the very site of the surgery. I would like to avoid another surgery for him, and I am learning as much as I can about homeopathy—a gentle approach, as you describe it. I read about silicea and he has been taking it 5 times a day, 4 days (30c). Today we started silicea 6x, 4 tablets every 15 minutes, 8 times. The mucocele is still there. I know that there are other possible remedies, like the calcarea carbonica that may work.

Questions:
Do you have experience in such mucous cysts in lower lips, and know what has worked?

I read that 6x worked for some for mucous cysts, but I find it hard to understand potencies (x, c, m) and how to decide. It seems that lower dosages are for acute, local problems, taken more frequently—6x or 12x. Is this correct?

Any suggestions from experience would works in this kind of situation??

Thank you for any information.

Sincerely,
Nancy

The following prescription was recommended for her husband on 25th February, 2010:-

You may try a combination of 3 drops each of Silicia-1M and Hepar Sulph-200 in some water twice a day for 2 days in a week (e.g. Sundays and Mondays) Calcarea Sulph-3X in trituration (Powder form) 4 times a day with warm water 5 days a week (e.g. Tuesdays to Saturdays). Lacally, apply Thuja-Q diluted with water twice a day daily.

Dr. Mahmood:

Thank you for your recommendations. My husband followed your instructions and the mucous cyst inside lower lip is almost gone! It’s exactly a week tomorrow following your suggestions. Tomorrow begins the 2nd week. He is supposed to take the silicea 1M and Hepar S. 200c again, and thuja-Q locally in water for 2 days.

This is our first experience with homeopathy, and thanks to you, we witnessed that it does work. It’s fascinating and any reading recommendation you may have I would appreciate it.

Questions:

How do we know when to stop the treatment? The mucocele is about 90-95% gone. Just a small white flat matter remains—perhaps scar tissue from previous removal of fibroma.

Should it be 100% gone, smooth in the area?

Thank you.

Be Cautious to use -----

• It is extremely dangerous to use Secale Cor in uterine haemorrhage when there is albuminuria, for it is likely to bring on convulsions, and if used too freely during labour, it is extremely apt to cause puerperal metritis…. Dr. Allen.

• Apis should be given cautiously during first three months of pregnancy in low potencies, liable to produce miscarriage….
Dr. Cowperthwaite.

• Digitaline---- if taken at night, is liable to disturb the sleep…. Dr. Hughes.

• I want you not to select Pulsatilla for a loose cough unless you are sure that all the symptoms call for it. It often tightens such a cough without curing it…. Dr. Farrington.

• For prescribing Passiflora-Q for relief in rheumatism, the indication should be a “Clean tongue”…. Dr. Cuthburt.

• Do not give Bellis near bed time, as it is apt to cause sleeplessness…. Dr. J. H. Clarke.

• Most of the symptoms of Causticum are aggravated by drinking coffee…. Dr. Boger.

• Sepia is to be given in the evening because if given in the morning, it may produce a sufficient aggravation to have the patient feeling quite useless for the day…. Dr. Jack.

• Phosphorus, Silicea and Lachesis are three very dangerous remedies if there is a pre-tubercular tendency. The wrong potency or too frequent repetition may drive the patient into an active tuberculosis…. Dr. Hubbard.

• Psorinum patient does not improve while taking coffee…. Dr. Banerji.

• It is dangerous to give Phosphorus in high potencies to patients with advanced phthisis as it may start a haemorrhage that may prove fatal…. Dr. Tyler.

• All the Kalis are aggravated after any disturbance in fluid balance in the body, particularly after coition…. Dr. D. A. Davis.
