Vasculitis finds significant treatment with homeopathy...

One Monday morning a lady was brought to Life Force Center by her husband and son. It was difficult for her to walk. One of our doctors assisted them to a cabin, they were made to sit. We came to know she is 45 yrs old, a homemaker and had met with a accident a year ago whereby she fractured her left lower leg. On examining her legs, it was diagnosed she was suffering from severe and extensive vasculitis. She had underwent a surgery last year and was bed ridden for a while. Her leg was cast in plaster for 3 months. 4-5 months after recovery, she developed redness, there was tremendous pain and tenderness in the calf muscles of the legs. The skin turned dark purple and then blackish. Patches slowly increased in size, leading to severe pain and swelling of the legs. The entire lower leg was blackish. The blood vessels on the lower legs, showed small knots and clots. One could feel such knots in several areas in the lower legs. This indicated there was clot formation in the blood vessels. She had tried several medicines in the past. She was now on Disprin and Trental which proved ineffective. Finally she was advised surgery for vasculitis when she decided to opt for Homeopathy. She was suffering from underactive thyroid. She was a sensitive lady. She was known to be irritable by nature. She had suffered a lot of hardships in life. There was marked craving for sweets and there was sheer intolerance to eggs. Dr Shah examined the patient and studied her case in detail. She was prescribed Ferrum Phos 200 C to be taken in repeated doses. In 4 weeks the pain was relieved by 30%. The swelling had reduced. The inflammation was less. In 8 weeks, the tenderness was better by 50%. She had not experienced such a relief in quite some time. In 3-4 months of treatment, there was good improvement. In 6 months the black discoloration started reducing. In around 8-10 months of treatment there was significant improvement. Vasculits is a difficult condition. There is no definite treatment in conventional medicine for this condition. Homeopathy has a very good role to relieve the symptoms and cure this condition. One can use auxiliary modes of relief such as foot elevation, dressings with a solution of mag-sulph and glycerine (in case there is no ulceration in the skin). One can expect very good relief in 6-8 months in this condition, irrespective of the severity. Mild cases respond in 4-6 months.
