At 90yrs,.tho been a fat/salt free diet for 30yrs.guess my body is telling me something now. I have high blood pressure and arteriosclerosis which has already caused claudation of legs.Im a thin lady, but cold most of the time, heavy left nasal discharge and very active, organized, fast moving lady. Im taking Crat. ox 30c three times a day for pressure, and Spiegla 30c once a day for arteries.. Im trying to see if homeopathy has something else that can be used to go in the arteries and really break down the thick walls. All suggestions appreciated, and Healthy New Year to all.

Hello Dorothy,

Best would be for you to see a qualified classical homeopath for full case taking in order to find the correct remedy for your complicated situation and also to get a correct dietary advice. Several other remedies are (still)possible for you, depending on the presenting symptoms/modalities etc.

It`s not a matter of just a simple online treatment !

Take care ! Wim.

Yes, I've confered with others and just thought another viewpoint would help if someone had experience with a personalty as mine with same condition
Also added note, I have had NHL in 2004 and cured same with Dr. R.method of plussing as described in his book.

Hello Dorothy,

I reckon you are referring to the Hodgkin`s Lymphoma treatment by Dr.Ramakrishnan mentioned on pages 117-118 of his book, which treatment may even take up to 2 years for a full cure and thereafter the patient may occasionally need a constitutional remedy. This treatment, however, should only be done under professional guidance because the professional has to decide which organ-specific remedy to use or other indicated remedy together with the correct cancer nosode, which isn`t always Carcinosin !

As for the arteriosclerosis your homeopath may consider, for example, Plumbum metallicum. (arteriosclerosis + hypertension) or Natrum iodide (for high arterial tension) or Baryta muriaticum (arteriosclerosis of the large blood vessels and aorta, headache/heaviness, dizziness, complaints worse at night and lying down, buzzing in ears etc.). This remedy is usually given for a long time.

However, these are only a few of the possibilities !

Continuation :

I`ll give some more explanation of arteriosclerosis (also for students).

Arteriosclerosis is sometimes confused with atherosclerosis.

Arterio sclerosis is usually associated with degenerative arterial changes of the advancing age which include middle-aged and elderly people. Medium and large blood vessels are mainly involved.

Atherosclerosis, however, is a condition which principally affects the aorta, large arteries and the certain medium-sized vessels particularly the coronary and cerebral arteries. The obstruction not only involves the atheroma (related to cholesterol in blood) but also the thrombosis at the site.

Continuation:

While degenerative changes in the arteries are the causative factor of arteriosclerosis and consequent hypertension, the principle causative factor of atherosclerosis is the presence of cholesterol in the lumen of the coronary artery. In particular atherosclerosis is due to the high dietary content of animal fat which leads to the increase of blood cholesterol. Other associated factors may be hypertension (although atherosclerosis may be advanced in the presence of normal blood pressure), smoking, lack of exercise and emotional tension. Another important cause is the material prosperity of the people, especially of the working classes, where the standard of living has been generally low. Thrombosis is another cause for atherosclerotic lesion.

Generally there are no clinical signs to enable one to recognise atherosclerosis, but its recognition is possible by its effects on the body. With narrowing of the lumen of the vessel, there is serious impairment of the blood supply to important structures, resulting in disorders such as angina pectoris, arteriosclerosis, cardiac infarction or gangrene or gangrene. The aorta and its branches widen.

Some important remedies, depending on the symptomatology (symptoms/modalities) for atherosclerosis and arteriosclerosis are : Adrenaline (Adrenalin), Arsenic iodide, Arnica, Aurum muriaticum, Baryta muriaticum, Crataegus oxyacantha, Ergotine (Ergotinum), Natrum iodide, Plumbum metallicum, Strophanthus hispidus, Spigelia.

Strophantes is indicated for senile arteriosclerosis with fatty degeneration, failing compensation and tendency to dropsical accumulation. It is either prescribed in mother tincture (Q or MT) or in (very) low potency (1x up to 6x).

Ive been a veggie since l965, all sorts of allergies, all sorts of doctors and gave up on them with their RX's and went into homopathy l976. I'm still doing Dr. R. split method once a month of cars. or carbo a. and feel great if not for the new situation. I sort of lean towards the Plumb Met (even tho the mind and modalities dont fit, But do have sclerosis of spine at c5-6, very cold most times,(even at times in bed) unless sun/warm out., pale, yellow skin,brown spots and lg.veins on hands/legs.
I would like to find out how Plumb iodat reads, but have not been able to find any info on it. Do happen to have anything on it. Thanks for thoughts.

For some info on Plumbum iod. see :

I will try to do some more research on spots u suggested. I have been taking the crat ox. 30c for two yrs. once a day and now went to 3x day. I used to take the Spiegla 30c only when I had heaviness on left arm,chest.but trying it once a day since Im so cold, and have chronice post nasal from left side of nose, and had false angina yrs. ago.I was looking for something now to replace the daily Spiegla, as nose drainage is better now, tho still cold a lot,but not so in bed. I'm also thinking of taking a one time dose of Psorinum 200c diluted,so not to interfer with the NHL monthly plussing..again many thanks
