an elderly question

[Dale Moss]

Interesting article on treating gangrene with homeopathy, mostly in older diabetic patients. Two cases, however, had serious arterial stenosis and/or calcification. Ars. was the remedy in one, Lachesis in the other. In all five cases, homeopathic treatment managed to save the patient from amputation.

My question to the group is: if Shannon’s father was suffering from arterial (or venous) insufficiency, wouldn’t the problem manifest in his feet or calves, not in his thighs?

Peace,
Dale

Certainly claudication most likely in calves but this site explains more

Very interesting to read the Lachesis and Ars cases.
The challenge of Homeopathy awesome as each case its own modalities.
Anyone any thoughts on possible Cauda Equina . No back pain but parasthesia mostly left lateral lower leg but often bilateral and occasional saddle numbness. Most distressing at night.
Thank you, Jean

Depends where major AND minor occlusions occur. The arterial system is not a straight plumbing waterway, the multiple branches might be partially or totally occluded while the major trunks are patent...living organism, remember...
