Kidney stones

without wasting time consult a surgeon.

Dear Howard,

you write that he did well on Nat-m in the past but that he has a 5mm Calc stone. My first thought would be whether Nat-m was correctly chosen as his constitutional remedy ?
Did the stone get larger or even appear during the treatment with Nat-m ? Then it was surely not the correct remedy. Why did the practitioner give Nux-v now ? According to the symptoms ?
You write that he is asymptomatic now. If he does not have any symptoms we can't rescribe any remedy. Only healthy people don't have symptoms as these are the outward reflection and expression of disease, but if there is a stone then he can hardly be considered being healthy...
Without knowing the whole case I can only recommend to continue treatment with the truely indicated remedy, i.e. chronic constitutional prescribing (and to have an acute intercurrent at hand if necessary). But a homeopathic prescription is not made according to the name of the disease, like kidney stones, but based on the patients individual totality of charateristic symptoms. A chronic case amnmesis is necessary and I'm sure a professional homeopath who prescribes according to the laws and principles of homeopathy will be able to help your son.  To induce passing of the stone is one thing, to prevent recurrence is the most important point which proper homeopathic treatment can provide. As your urologist is willing to wait I would use this opportunity of non-invasive treatment by all means.


 

Constitutional remedies can prevent reformation of Kidney or gallstones.Removal is possible with those remedies proved helpful in clinical practice and they are mentioned in homeopathic literature.It is one sided ailment.

'Constitutional remedies are always slow in action and delay in the above mentioned case can be harmful for the patient.'ange. ...I find it strange. Please explain. Regards Niel

Dr B,

Niel,

An interesting article on the topic:

Add the application of Nosodes and LM potency and the cure will often happen with great speed , unless of course the case has been rendered incurable by advanced pathological changes or very weak vital force because of age .

Keep smiling

Agreed, it is a one-sided case. Also true that symptom picture is not clear. A physician would naturally be lured into using Berberis or Hydrangea or similar organ-specific remedies. Even some combination of Tissue Salts have been found useful.
