Hello Barbara Sorry to say I see these `bowel' conditions all too often. Many have been treated with steroids for way too many years. I've never heard of them working (other than very temporary relief). Then when they finally decide 12 to 16 years of pain, discomfort, multiple drugs, and no results ...

Priscilla, What a wonderful question. Hopefully this will be an eye-opener to you and to your doctor. There are so many products that contain a homeopathic ingredient - that then advertise themselves as being homeopathic. There are also many practitioners that claim to be homeopaths that are practic...

Hello Pricilla, Homeopathy will serve as a key in healing the situation you describe, but there are going to be many elements to the process. If your friend needs surgery due to tissue damage beyond repair - then homeopathy will serve well to prepare her and allow her to heal well before and after t...

Thanks Liz, that is an excellent point. I guess I typically think more of Rhus tox when inflammation is a key issue - as opposed to acute bone/nerve injury - but after 2 weeks - I'll bet inflammation in now playing a big role in the described pain. Donna --- In minutus@yahoogroups.com, "Liz Bry...

For coccyx injuries I have a short list of 'don't forget to look at' remedies: Kali bich, Hypericum, Silicea and Causticum. However you might add Ars alb since you have the 'can't find a comfortable position' aspect. I also have another quick reference list for lower back region: sulpher - weakness ...

' for example German - and on the right side of that bar is a translate button. You can also request to 'always translate' the language. I thin...

Just came across a nice little list of 'old names' of diseases. I had an excellent old list tucked inside the front cover of my Boericke but had lost it about a year ago - so was very pleased to find this one. They come in handy now and then. http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~armissis/diseases.htm D...

Hello Tanya, I just found a copy of the article at: http://homeoint.org/articles/horvilleur/solanum.htm and used the google translate button - OK there are a few weird words when you use this translation technique - but overall it does a fine job.

Rochelle, Was the article by Dr. Alain Horvilleur? Or are you referring to another article? I did see the article by Horvilleur and thought it was very interesting. It seemed to be based on clinical experience. I haven't been able to find a good MM on SOLANUM MALACOXYLON - have you found one? Thank ...
