Post-stroke patient question

[Ann]

I'm sorry if this is a double post. I have no idea what happened to
my other post.

What is that status of homeopaths taking post-stroke patients in the
U.S.? If they're not being accepted by homeopaths, then why? I have
someone in mind, but I have the feeling it's a big no-no in the U.S.
due to no facilities that accept homeopathic patients, lack of
knowledge treating these kinds of people and the low vital force that
can actually bring death unto them.

Thanks for your help.

"Post-stroke" can vary hugely! Is this someone who needs to be
hospitalized, is that why you're thinking they might not be taken on by a
homeopath? What's the specific situation?

Thank you for responding. She's been in the hospital right for a
week already and I figured, with time, when she's out of that setting
and if she survives, maybe I can take her to someone.

She's completely paralyzed on the left side and only shows movement
when she's in pain. The right side, well, she keeps showing constant
repetitive movements. She doesn't talk anymore, but makes a lot of
mouthing the tongue gesture, seems annoyed when bothered, rarely
opens her eyes, is in and out of conciousness, she's constantly
scratching her belly/leg, or her nose or her head, but mostly
repetitive movements with her right hand and right foot. Sometimes
she'll recognize us, most of the time not. I figured the best I can
do for her is to rub some arnica on her bruises because she's not
supposed to have anything via mouth because she can get aspiration
pneumonia. I think she was mad before all this happened. Anyway,
that's the story.

I also forgot to mention, I tried to research the board and I did get
the impression from one poster that post-stroke people are not
normally taken in as clients.

I think you maybe able to deal with this because it has happened recently.
I will look up my notes later from Dr Ramakrishans post grad course and report back

I really appreciate your help. I am not a homeopath though, but
wondered if it could be done.

That's hopeful. The person I'm talking about is my mother and she's
57.

OK my notes are of remedies which can help which really are no use to you if you are not a homeopath but basically the earlier treatment is started the better the results will be.
All the best

Ann,

With any head injury case, including stroke, you have to be extremely
cautious. I've only treated one post-stroke Px, and she was in pretty good
shape (though impatient to have her motor skills back). The point is that
she was conscious, cognizant, and eager for treatment; she could also take
her own remedies.

With someone who's unconscious and incapable of giving permission for
treatment, you have to be absolutely certain the family is on board. Even
if they are, you still may have to be very "discreet" in administering
remedies. I've found putting the remedy in a spring water bottle and using
it to moisten the Px's lips (with a Q-tip) or wipe her forehead (with a
moistened handkerchief). You could even give a quickie sponge bath using
the remedy (just remember to wear impermeable gloves!).

Peace,
Cinnabar

P.S. I just saw your posting about your mother being the patient. I'm so
sorry. By all means in that case try, or find a good homeopath to help
you -- it can't hurt and can only help her! (My post-stroke Px made a
complete recovery.)
