help or ideas needed please

Hi, Marleen:

I agree it is a huge dose -- but it works wonders. This is Dr.
Ramakrishnan's protocol, which I used for my own dog, a black Lab, after he
was attacked and injured by a much larger dog. The injury originally
manifested as lameness in the right foreleg, which was opposite a puncture
wound to the left shoulder. It worsened severely over several days until he
reached the point he could not urinate or defecate. Then I realized he must
have a spinal cord injury, and treated accordingly.

He received 4 doses before I went to bed; within hours he was moving around
and scratching at his bed, which he had been unable to do earlier. The next
day he received at least four more doses (I don't recall if I gave him the
full 6) and was able to poop and pee once more. He made a full recovery,
although the area over the spine was tender for months.

Peace,
Cinnabar

Hi Cinnabar,

But are you sure that fewer doses wouldn't have worked as well?

Hi Cinnabar thanks for explaining, i am familiar with Ramakrishnan's
protocol, i have his book,
great that it worked this well for your dog, will keep it in mind

Dear Cinnabar,
Do I understand you correctly? Dr. Ramakrishnan's protocol for plussing is used when an aggressive approach to a local lesion is needed (as opposed to a purely constitutional remedy that covers the lesion)? I have the book. My dog's Lymphoma (benign fatty tumor) is just getting bigger and he seems tired. I figured out that Barty-carb would be a good constitutional and gave it to him 200c one month ago. Nothing is happening. Maybe I need to be more aggressive or to use a remedy that deals with the lesion apart from the entire constitution. It's really hard to figure out a dog's constitution. May be I should treat the lymphoma as if it were an aggressive tumor, which it is not. It is just throwing his whole body off balance and making walking difficult. He is 14 years old but other than cataracts and loss of incredibly acute hearing, more than normal sleeping time, he seems fine.
Blessings,
Ellen

If I understand you correctly, this is a benign tumour, not an
end-stage carcinoma. I think I would tend to treat this sort of thing
constitutionally only, even at this stage. You say Lymphoma, but could
you mean lipoma, which is a benign fatty tumour? Dogs with deep chronic
disease often develop these as a symptom. My own preference would be
for LM potencies and not waiting so long for response. I would submit
you have not got the right remedy yet, and I would look carefully into
his temperament, past history of insults, and other physical symptoms
to determine it.

If the tumour is causing him great difficulty, it would not be out of
the question to remove it surgically and then continue to treat for his
constitution. At this point in his life, there is the quality of that
life to consider.

Just my opinion,

Hi, Shannon --

No, I'm not sure -- but when you have an 85 lb. dog who hasn't been able to
poop in 48 hours and is fast losing the ability to move, you don't want to
screw around. At least, I didn't, so I deferred to Dr. Ramakrishnan's
greater experience and followed his protocol. Spinal cord injuries are an
emergency, and I was quite sure this was my dog's problem. If I'd waited
(or treated less aggressively), I was afraid he'd lose all mobility and have
to be put down.

Peace,
Cinnabar

Marleen,

Glad you're familiar with Dr. Ramakrishnan's work. This protocol, however,
did NOT come from his cancer book. The plussing technique he describes
there is used only for cancer. His protocol for spinal cord injuries comes
from a book in progress, which should be finished later this year.

Peace,
Cinnabar

Dear Ellen --

First, I was NOT using Dr. Ramakrishnan's plussing technique; I was using
dry doses.

Second, I'm not sure I understand you correctly. Does your dog have lipoma
(benign fatty tumors) or lymphoma (malignant cancer of the lymphatic
system)? If the latter, a single dose of Baryta-c. is not going to help.
Even if it's the former, Baryta-c. may not be the right remedy. Calc-c. is
more commonly used; I even had one dog's lipomas resolve on Thuja, though I
was treating him for cancer of the anal gland. (He's since gone on to
Arg-n., which seems to be working for the cancer.)

It sounds as if something else is going on with your dog. Have you had him
checked for lymphoma, which, alas, is increasingly common and which might
account for his tiredness. (So might his age.)

Peace,
Cinnabar

Dear Ginny,
Yes, I did mean Lipoma. My spell checker suggested the other word and I was too docile in following its advice. Blessings,
Ellen

Hi Ellen
I concur with Cinnabar that Calc carb, and in particular the 200th potency
at intervals of 3 days can be successful - however, it doesn't go away
overnight - it may take awhile.
