Suggestions needed

[Guest guest]

Early in October I made an a trip to Nebraska to see the middle son, who is

a diabetic and is paralyzed on the right side from a stroke.

 

Now he has developed a very serious blood problem. In addition to Hep C,

his bone marrow does not allow the production of red & white blood cells. The

blood cells turn to fiber, which then enlarges the spleen. As this fiber

collects in the spleen (very painful as it enlarges), it causes him to become

anemic and then requires a blood transfusion. The doctors have said he cannot

take anything by mouth to relieve this pain. It must be injected or applied

topically as they don't want any oral meds (prescription or OTC) that

directly affect the blood.

 

I know heli is helpful with pain. Is the hydrosol effective? Would heli EO

diluted in a carrier be more effective? Is there another EO or hydrosol

which would be helpful here. Since he has the use of only one side of his

body,

I am thinking a spray would be easier for him to apply and less painful than

something that requires rubbing. The doctors are open to alternative

methods, but of course the insurance is not. Then there is the issue of

sensitization that could develop. The doctors have said he could live another

10 - 12

years with this problem.

 

This list is such a loving and caring group and I am proud to be a part of

it. You all have a wealth of information and are so willing to share. I am

such a novice in this area, which is why I am turning to you for suggestions.

 

I want to thank the moderators for allowing me to post this request. I don't

want to clog up the list so if the moderators or any other list member feels

this is taking up too much list time, feel free to contact me privately
