blood platelet disorder
Posted: Tue Jun 14, 2005 2:37 pm
Hi Friends,
Can I have your opinion on this.
My daughter has some kind of a platelet clumping disorder. She had a DVT
(deep vein thrombisis) about 8 years ago, due to birthcontrol pills given
to her for amenorrhea. She has not had hormones since, except she is now
pregnant, (we are delighted!), but the platelet disorder has returned
with the added hormones. We only found out she was pregnant by accident
when she threw one small clot in her leg and 3 clots in her lungs. She is
now on Lovanox (like heparin) to prevent clotting.
An "Indian" trained homeopath visited me a week or so ago, and suggested
I give her a 1M of arnica. Daughter is almost, not quite, 3 months
pregnant now, and this homeopath said Arnica would prevent both clotting
and a bleed. But, this is my child and grandchild, and I have no
impartiality. So, am coming to you to see what you think.
Since her 3 months date is coming up soon, I guess I should wait until
she passes that milestone. This is a much wanted child so trying
anything that might interrup this pregnancy would not be an option.
I personally have not known any contraindications for arnica. Her doctor
will be checking her clotting factor soon, so if we are going to do this,
I would much rather do it before her visit so she can continue to be
monitored.
Thanks, Maria
Ps. This is a miracle pregnancy, anyway, thanks to homeopathy!!!
Horray!
The only remedy she is currently on are Nat sulph tissue salts, and they
are working well for her.
