mitral valve regurgitation/any MD's out there!!

[Rochelle Marsden]

Hi ,
Have just been asked if there is any treatment for mitral valve regurgitation in homeopathy. Now I know we treat the person not the disease but has anyone come across this before . Person has had it since 2003 and the surgeons want to replace the mitral valve. My first thoughts are that I should advise to go ahead and have this done so what do others think?

I am currently treating a colleague with MVR who cannot be operated upon due to other conditions.

It is a mechanical problem, and it needs a mechanical solution, BUT if it is well tolerated with no haemodynamic problems, no clinical symptoms and signs (or very little), or if there are contra-indications to surgery, the way to go is to support the heart/myocardium with appropriate herbs and homeopathics.

In my case, the general treatment is Crataegus in tincture, this patient did well with Cereus Bonplandi (removed all the symptoms and other deeper ones totally unexpectedly) and is self treating as needed when symptoms appear with Cactus Grandiflorus 1X as needed.
The cardiac symptoms have to be repertorised to find the closest remedy/ies, as if it was an individual, then you have solutions.

Thanks Joe, that’s the answer I wanted and expected. I shall therefore explain that it is a mechanical problem but if he doesn’t want the surgery – which I presume is why he contacted me, it may be possible to treat the symptoms of it. Crateagus herbal I normally have in but Cereus B I only have in a homeopathic potency and I really don’t think that or Cactus I can get as tinctures in UK. Helios may have it as a MT which is a 1X.. I would of course rep the full case.
All the best

Dear Rochelle
Why do you say that MT is 1X?

Because it is at Helios as I phoned them once and asked !!!! This was because I buy herbal tinctures by the ½ litre and use as organ tonics because MT were so expensive for a small amount. I phoned Helios and asked why their MT were light if not clear in colour and that was the answer I got.
All the best

(BTW the prospective MVR patient contacted me today and said that because of what I wrote (that the MVR was a mechanical problem) he would take his Cardiologist’s advice and have the surgery. He will consult with me if he has any further problems after this) Thanks Joe!!!

Hi Rochelle,

Supplementation with CoEnzyme Q10 has been known to be associated with self repair of the mitral valve. I'm sure you would anyway but make sure you check his prescriptions so that you know things aren't being made worse by cholesterol lowering medications and their impact on the body's ability to make it's own CoQ10.

December's issue of Interhomoeopathy focused on the Rose family (which includes Hawthorn) as remedies often useful for heart and lung issues.

Thanks Gail. I always check prescriptions as I have found that symptoms patients have are often caused by the medications they are on!!
I have yet to read this month’s Interhomeopathy- thanks for the reminder.

Just go thro' Apis.
HOMŒOPATHIC MATERIA MEDICA
by William BOERICKE, M.D.
Presented by Médi-T
APIS MELLIFICA
The Honey-Bee

Acts on cellular tissues causing œdema of skin and mucous membranes.

The very characteristic effects of the sting of the bee furnish unerring indications for its employment in disease. Swelling or puffing up of various parts, œdema, red rosy hue, stinging pains, soreness, intolerance of heat, and slightest touch, and afternoon aggravation are some of the general guiding symptoms. Erysipelatous inflammations, dropsical effusions and anasarca, acute, inflammation of kidneys, and other perenchymatous tissues are characteristic pathological states corresponding to Apis. Apis acts especially on outer parts, skin, coatings of inner organs, serous membranes. It produces serous inflammation with effusion, membranes of brain, heart, pleuritic effusion, etc. Extreme sensitiveness to touch and general soreness is marked. Constricted sensations. Sensation of stiffness and as of something torn off in the interior of the body. Much prostration.
