chemo nerve internal burns ?
Posted: Wed Jan 23, 2008 1:23 pm
Hi all,
I have a shiatsu patient who received chemo 3 months ago. I am trying to give an acute remedy without extensive case taking. Spot radiation done from inside the uterus. This is a new treatment in Japan. She was limping around (bent in half) when I started working on her using shiatsu.
First she was just numb in the right foot. Then pain in the right dorsum with less numbness. Now the pain is climbing up the leg to the hip where the original injury began (chemo). She said she had skin burns both in front at the inguinal crease area and in the lower butt. All right sided.
My guess is there is damage to the myelin sheath of her nerves, maybe not so much to the nerve since the nerve is feeling pain now. If the cells are not completely destroyed she could recover. She gets better with the shiatsu just because I am increasing her range of motion and letting the nerve impulses release through the feet etc. She lost a lot of weight with the chemo, but is not emaciated. I told her to eat fish oils, dark colored veggies and I wish she would take vitamin C.
As an acute homeopathic remedy, I am guessing causticum. She is very worried about her shopping list. Constantly checking for forgotten items. Very justice oriented on a whole society level as well on a personal level. I am thinking that radiation causes an internal burn. At least that is nearest to what happened to her. She feels nothing but pain in the butt where she was burned and I can't see any sign of the burn. It happened 3 months ago and I have been working on her for a month (had to leave for Christmas).
Should I be thinking of any other remedy? Has stomach problems (polyps in the fundus and esophagus). The cancer penetrated into her abdomen, but I can't really take her case, because she doesn't understand what homeopathy is. Not closed, but I think case taking with no evidence of what homeopathy does would not work. If I can get her healing better than the shiatsu can do, then I think I can move on to real case taking.
My homeopathic program is down. I am open to any ideas.
Thanks,
Ellen Madono
