Guest guest Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Young woman born 24/07/75 - Hx epilepsy from 6 - 12 years " due to immature brain cells " started menstruating @ 13 years - " hormone injections " later in life due to very painful periods. Dr forgot she was on them and prolonged their use far too long - his admission. Since ceasing their use the problems have started.This is all the past history I gleaned from her anxious mother. Dr now recommends leaving things for 6 months. Patient says she wont live that long. Presenting problems: ? MS One eye half closed unsteady gait faint & dizzy/vertigo unable to work MRI shows bleed into the brain So this girl is now bleeding from her brain as well as her uterus now the hormones have been ceased. She is virtually having a slow stroke. My impulse is to supply trace elements & Vitamins to strengthen the blood vessels - I would give: Cell Salts: Calc Fluor Calc Phos Silicea Ferr. Phos This approach initially rather than using a homeopathic coagulant. Vitamin C to increase capillary strength - up to 4G daily Magnesium chelate combination rather than homeopathic Magnesium. Diet: Eliminate wheat gluten (this alone has cleared endometriosis) Increase cruciate vegetables (broccoli etc - same reason) Increase water intake to 3L a day Ensure that no artificial additives or undesirable chemicals, sweeteners etc are being consumed Raise the head of the bed 4 " for sleeping Minimize increased pressure to the head, i.e. reduce constipation, coughing, no heavy lifting, no inversion exercises (such as in yoga etc) Mother states daughter will be resistant to advice. Anyone want to add anything to the list? Thanks Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Dear Jane Will you please provide birth details of the patient? [i.e birth time, place and date]. I will try to analyse horoscope and advice medicine. What you have described is a complicated case. I would definitely see what I could probably do.

One exceptionally useful herb for bleeding is unprocessed Tienchi Ginseng (Panax notoginseng). I have used this successfully from everything from post-partum hemorrhage to retinal hemorrhaging. Other helpful herbs used for uterine hemorrhaging include Yarrow (Achillea millefolium), Shepherd's Purse (Capsella bursa-pastoris), Cotton root (Gossypium sp), Cranesbill Geranium (Geranium maculatum) and Beth root (Trillium erectum). For menorrhagia I would typically I would use these in combination with pelvic decongestants (e.g. White Dead Nettle [Lamium album], Barberry [berberis sp] and Dandelion root [Taraxacum off.]), with herbs that balance the menstrual cycle (in particular, those that are progesterogenic, e.g. Chasteberry [Vitex agnus castus] and White Peony [Paeonia alba]). For deficiency states with bleeding blood- nourishing herbs are very important too, including Shatavari (Asparagus racemosa) and Shu Di Huang (Rehmannia glutinosa). > Vitamin C to increase capillary strength - up to 4G daily Vitamin C probably has a weaker effect than using flavonoid-rich combinations. Amalaki is a good example of a herb rich in both flavonoids and (perhaps ascorbic acid), and is used for passive hemorrhage (rakta pitta). Amalaki, rosehips and other flavonoid-rich herbs like Hawthorn (Crataegus sp) would be better in my estimation than just vitamin C. Anthocyanin-rich foods like blueberry, bilberry and cranberry are also helpful to strengthen capillaries. Caldecott, Dip.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Thanks very much Todd - very useful info - unfortunately the girl, who I have never met, is doing her own thing and going the way of specialist allopathy - we shall see what occurs! Best, Jane __ There are many questions I take it at this time you cannot answer, so I will limit my comments to the problem of bleeding.
