I have had a lot of dental work and have root cnals in most of my teeth that I still have. The rest of my mouth is dotted with bridges like the city of Amsterdam. In the past 4 years I have had similar ulcers. It comes on rapidly.In the past I have used Hep Sulph with some success. This ulcer started about 3 weeks ago. It is exactly on the roof of my mouth and was large and red with a small white spot in it. The Hep Sulph didn't seem to be working and I went to see a Homeopath practitioner who advised me to not use Hep Sulph but to use Silicea 30c. He advised me to dilute on tab in water and to drink it. I phoned the next day and he told me to be patient. I phoned him again and said nothing is happening. He advised me to take one Silicea under my tongue and to call him in the morning. I had never heard of such dilution in Homeopathic medicines and I was anxious, so I went to an MD who did a biopsy and put me on penicillin for 2 days. I am still waiting for biopsy results. The homeopath said if I was seeing a doctor he couldn't treat me. After a week of doing nothing and feeling symptomatic- tired, slight sore throat I decided to self treat with Hep sulph again, but I tried the dilution. One pill in half glass of purified water per day. I also added echinachea and goldenseal drops to my treatment.

I am seeing some results. The ulcer/cyst has shrunk to about half the size.

Any thoughts or comments on whether I am doing the right thing or should be doing something else would be appreciated.

Hi Pumagirl,

You could be suppressing it instead of helping it to heal.

If you go to a homeopath - you have to be patient - as everyone is an individual and the homeopath has to wait and see if the symptoms changes and THAT is how he manages the case. And, since everyone is different - there is no formula ....he has to monitor according to the Law of Cure.

To do anything else in between (taking other remedies, repeating doses without him saying too, etc) only muddies the case and makes it difficult to monitor what is going on - and to know what has caused what.

I understand you want the ulcers gone, but remember they are an expression of your vital force and to suppress it will only drive the ailment deeper.

It could be you have merely palliated it but the difference between palliation (soothing you out of the acute attack) and suppression is a fine line.

If you trust your homeopath - go back to him and let him do his job . If you need to understand more - ask him...and if he is too busy with his practise to try to explain it to you (to be fair it IS very complex) - just ask more questions here and I'm sure others will try and help you to better understand things.

Homeopathy isn't an overnight miracle cure (though it can bring about cures very quickly - especially in acutes). But, I would say since you have had these before, that you need more than 'acute' treatment - as it isn't an acute - so you need (constitutional) treatment that will get to the core of what is going on with you so you won't be susceptible to getting the uclers anymore.

Hope this helps,
Lisa

Thank you JVolkman for the link. I suspect, too that the cause of my problems is related to bacteria migrating from root canals. I try to use good oral hygiene. At this time, I am trying to find a way to cure or "bring to a head" this ulcer. Any homeopathic suggestions would be appreciated as I don't think the medical profession has any treatment options for me.

All my roots have canals. It links me to the world and the planets. I didn't like the homeopathist I visited. I believe Jvolkman has led me to the correct conclusion, which is that I have a bacterial infection because of all the dental work I have endured.

I can't belabor what "was" but I have to go forward in health. I am looking for the answers to restore my vim etc., knowing that this is a probelm that has become "acute". I don't consider this a recurring problem, because every manifestation has been quite different. Suffice to say that I am 'holistically' in need of help. I feel that I am under attack planet-wise by Saturn and Pluto. This is a deep 'canal' problem in my body. I would like some hslp if anyone out there can give me some help.. I believe with wisdom and knowledge that I can live another 40 years ( I'm 55). I see myself as youthful and vital. In my life I have a lot of demands and pull from ailing family members.

One person sent me an email telling me to use echinachea. This feels good to me. I will reread that message. We are all healers, and I am looking for keys to combatting 'bacteriosis". I obviously have cavities in my body and especially in my mouth, and I believe that is what has overwhelmed me. The hep sulph seems to be checkmating further progression. Again, I am doing on 30c tablet in spring water once a day. I take antioxidants, I like salads and Indian curries. My cravings tend more toward salt than sugar. I get angry at slow drivers.

I am a competitor.

Too many root canals to have all teeth removed. Too grim to contemplate. Is there not a homeopathic remedy that can shrink this cyst I have and assist it in draining?

I understand that canals can harbor bacteria, but I have to believe that this acute attack can be handled homeopathically. I am trying to find advice I can rely on for self-medicating.

The root canals may or may not be the source of my problem. I don't know. However, I have plenty of life force myself!!

hello pumagirl,
here you didn't mention clearly whether it is an ulcer or cyst.
in the first stages you are benefitted by hepar sulph (you didn't mentioned the potency,I assume it is lower from your later comments ).Then you took Sil. Sil and Hepar are antidotes to each other so you got no action.So at this stage you are free from the affects of both due to above mentioned.After this you again took Hepar sulph(in your language 'in dilution').This time Hepar in higher potency acted that is why the cyst/ulcer? shrunked.

what happened to this case is fault with thie dosage and taking medicine whih are antidoting each other.

So please don't self treat ,follow the advice of a hompath.
