Clinical cases

 

 

“An example is more worth than a thousand words”

 

In this charter I have listed a few examples of clinical cases, so that the reader may get an idea of the therapeutic possibilities of homeopathy. I could have listed thousands of examples, but I chose the most representatives.

Case of squamoscell carcinoma

A woman of 80 years of age comes for treatment in 2000 with a SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA on the right side of the nose. The diagnosis was by biopsy and subsequent histological analysis, here is a copy of the medical report:

Here is a photo of the spinalioma as it appeared on the nose:

 

Plus she suffers from cardiac insufficiency with edemas on the lower limbs. She is taking a series of allopathic drugs.
Exactly 4 months after beginning homeopathic treatment, the spinolioma dried out and detached, leaving a completely healed skin!

There has not been any relapse in the last 10 years of homeopathic constitutional treatment. Moreover she could stop taking all allopathic drugs and the cardiac insufficiency completely healed.

Case of basal-cell carcinoma

In 2011, anamnesis of lady of 63 years who present lesion at the root of the nose, suspicious for basal-cell carcinoma. Viene esguita biopsia che conferma la diagnosi, v. referto:

Is then undertaken a homeopathic treatment, where the beginning of which the lesion manifests itself in this way:

The homeopathic treatment continued regularly until late 2012-early 2013, where the lesion is no longer found:

 

Case of basaloid carcinoma of the flat epithelium of the anal canal

A lady of 63 visits me in 2005 in a state post BASALOID CARCINOMA OF THE FLAT EPITHELIUM OF THE ANAL CANAL, T2, NO, MO. She undertook chemotherapy (59 Gy) with initial complete remission. But 7 months later inguinal metastasis appeared on the right side. She gets surgery and radiation (30.6 Gy). She then comes for homeopathic treatment because the inguinal scar does not heal, it excretes liquid, and it is hard and painful. Besides the side effects of radiotherapy there are probably tumor cells that do not allow the healing of the wound. The oncologists don’t know what to suggest.
Having begun homeopathic treatment, after about 5 weeks the wound heals, it no longer produces secretions. And the hardening disappears during the following weeks. The treatment lasted for 2 years and half and there have not been relapses. Complete recovery!

Case of meningioma

A woman of 63 visits me in 2005 with SPREAD MENINGIOMA IN THE BASE OF THE SKULL AND IN THE ETHMOID CELLS WITH TOTAL LOSS OF HEARING IN THE LEFT EAR. The symptomatology gradually developed in the previous 10 years, worsening in the last years. The meningioma was so spread that surgeons could no longer operate. The prognosis can be very difficult, as the meningioma continues to grow, completely compressing the central nervous system, with dire consequences. She is now in homeopathic care since 2005 and the tumor growth has completely stopped: no new symptom has arisen and the magnetic resonance imaging has confirmed that there is no tumor growth. This has allowed the patient to have a good quality of life without any consequence caused by the meningioma.

Case of acute pneumonia

A 1 year and 2 month old girl (in 2001) with fever, cough, an infiltrate in all the right lung, therefore RIGHT ACUTE PNEUMONIA. Homeopathic remedy administration with complete recovery after 4-5 days.

Case of brain tumor

A 1 year and 3 month old girl (in 2008) with a half cm BRAIN TUMOR ON THE LEFT TEMPORAL LOBE, confirmed by magnetic resonance. The physicians were suggesting surgery, but the child’s parents decide to try with homeopathy. After one month of therapy a magnetic resonance is repeated: the tumor has disappeared. Homeopathic treatment has been continued thereafter and the patient has not showed disorders anymore.

Case of neuroendocrine carcinoma of pancreas

A woman of 52 visits me in 2006 with a WELL-DIFFERENTIATED NEUROENDOCRINE CARCINOMA FROM THE HEAD OF PANCREAS WITH SPREAD METASTASIS. She underwent surgery, all the lymphatic nodes contained metastasis. Photo scanning and PET scanning showed spread metastasis in all the mediastinal and abdominal lymph nodes. Supraclavicular and thoracic vertebrae bone metatasis. After beginning homeopathic treatment the patient started feeling well, all the symptoms disappeared. Radiological monitoring in 2007 no longer showed lymph nodes metastasis. She is still currently undergoing homeopathic treatment and until now there hasn’t been any cancer progression symptom and the patient is feeling very fit.

Case of multiple sclerosis

Beginning 2007 a 41 year old man with MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS. He is not able to walk and is in a wheelchair. He has leg cramps, his hands tremble, urinary incontinence, constipation, depression and asthenia. Since the beginning of homeopathic care up until now, cramps and trembling have disappeared, urinary incontinence greatly improved, intestinal cavity is back to normal, mood and energy levels greatly improved. Plus he can move some leg muscles that previously he was not able to.

Case of systemic lupus erythematosus

September 2000, consultation with a woman of 35 who has SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS since she was 13. Now the disease is in an advanced stage. Vasculitis, anemia, immuno thrombocythaemia, neutropenia, membranous nephritis. She tried every type of treatment, including cortison, endoxan, imurek. As the allopathic treatments were not able to stop the disease, she comes for homeopathic care as the nephritis has so advanced (class 5B WHO) that the next step would be dialysis: creatinine of 200, creatinine clearance of 23, proteins 650 mg/dl. The patient since she started homeopathic treatment in 2000, has never needed to undergo any cortisone or immunosupressive treatment against the lupus and hasn’t had any acute relapse so far. The renal value has improved and stabilized at a creatinine value of 165, creatinine clearance of 38. The patient could therefore avoid dialysis and transplantations. She is now well and has a great quality of life.

Case of membranous glomerulonephritis

A woman of 71 visits me in December 2004 with a MEMBRANOUS GLOMERULONEPHRITIS previously treated with immunosuppressants, and consequently suffered from 2 episodes of bronchial pneumonia. She was treated with cyclosporine, but again without success. At the time of the medical visit she suffers from edemas on the legs, a proteinuria of 610 mg/dl, creatinine of 144, creatinine clearance of 67, hypertension, sleeping disorders, effort dyspnea, anxiety. The patient started homeopathic treatment in 2004, leaving aside all allopathic drugs, and is currently still in treatment: the proteinuria has greatly improved and is stabilized on values of 10 ms/dl!!! Also the creatinine clearance is around 80. Moreover the blood pressure is normal, the edemas have disappeared, she sleeps a lot better and she no longer suffers from anxiety.

Case of atopic neurodermatitis

In September 2001 I see a 8 month old girl inflicted with an important generalized ATOPIC NEURODERMATITIS, especially on the extremities and on the face. At night she scratches herself and often starts bleeding, so her sleep is greatly disturbed. We immediately start a homeopathic treatment without any other drug. Besides from a few initial crisis, the child gradually gets better and in 2-3 years is completely healed.

Case of behavioral disorder

In 2007 I see a seriously aggressive cat from a friend of mine: on several occasions the cat attacked guests who entered the house. They had already tried to give him drugs to calm him down, but without success. After 2 doses of a homeopathic remedy the cat is transformed, a lot calmer and since then has not attacked anybody. This is an example of veterinary homeopathy that can proof that homeopathic treatment is not simply a placebo effect.

Case of herpes zoster

In 2008 I see a 40 year old woman with serious SHINGLES (HERPES ZOSTER) on her forehead that extends toward the eye: the skin is full of vesicles, flushed, swollen and hot, she has fever, strong pains and headaches. In those weeks she was living a strong psychological conflict. The danger of the situation was that the right eye was also suffering from herpes, and the eyelids were very edematous. She takes a remedy and after 2 days the vesicles started to dry out, fever dropped down and headaches disappeared. In 4-5 days she had completely recovered!!! The eye didn’t suffer any repercussion.

Case of sigmoid carcinoma

In 2005 I see a woman of 44, she is diagnosed with SIGMOID CARCINOMA pT3b, pN2, G2. She had just undergone surgery (sphincter-saving rectosigmoid resection) and did standard chemotherapy. As two lymphatic nodes were positive she wanted to undertake homeopathic treatment, also because she was suffering the various side effects from chemotherapy. With homeopathy the disorders improved and she didn’t have any relapse. She is still currently under homeopathic care.

Case bronchial asthma with relapsing bronchitis and pneumonia

In 2005 I see in my studio a 41 year old woman that since birth suffers from BRONCHIAL ASTHMA WITH RELAPSING BRONCHITIS AND PNEUMONIA. She is treated with axotide and ventolin, and when she suffers from acute bronchitis she always treats it with antibiotics. Since the beginning of homeopathic care she was able to reduce the axodite and in 1-2 years she completely recovered! Now when she contracts some normal viral flu she reacts normally and with the help of some homeopathic remedy she easily recovers.

Case of grangrene

In 2004 there comes a patient of 73 with GANGRENE on toes II and IV of the right foot on PERIPHERAL ARTERIAL OCCLUSION, hypertension and hypercholesterolemia. The necrotic lesions of the toes are dry and painful. Physicians want to amputate them.

Case of chronic active hepatitis

In November 2004 I see a 43 year old patient with CHRONIC ACTIVE HEPATITIS B. In the laboratory on 23 January 2003 17’100 copies/ml of HBV are measured, and on 8 June 2004 17’800 copies/ml. We begin a regular homeopathic treatment and on 30 June 2005 in the laboratory there are measured 389 copies/ml of HBV!!!

Case of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia

December 2009 I’m called for emergency by a 75 year old woman with PAROXYSMAL SUPRAVENTRICULAR TACHYCARDIA, with a weak pulse rate at 205. Plus the patient has unbearable chest pains, feeling of fainting, pallor and strong anxiety. Immediately a homeopathic remedy is taken and after just 2 minutes the pains decrease, and after 5 minutes tachycardia, chest pains and anxiety all disappear!

Case of acute otitis media

May 2010 a 2 year old boy has fever at 39°C, strong pains and purulent discharge in the right ear. He suffers from ACUTE OTITIS MEDIA. An acute remedy is administered. The day after he was feeling better, he could sleep well, and the fever was almost gone. On the second day I check him in the studio: he has no more fever, no more pains, good general wellbeing, and otoscopic inspection proves that the eardrum is perfectly intact and no longer reddened. Conclusion: in 2 days a serious acute otitis media has completely healed, even faster than what an antibiotic or anti-inflammatory would have done.

Case-consideration about ADHD

All children with hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) that have been in homeopathic treatment were cured completely. The therapeutic process has been gradual, step by step, the behavior is harmonized, improve social relationships, as well as the concentration and academic achievement. In no case was necessary to administer the Ritalin.

Complex case of breast cancer, diffuse struma and Sjögren's syndrome

August 2005 I see a patient of 36 years in a state post LEFT BREAST CANCER, pT1c, pN0 (0 / 17), M0, G3 in February 2000, resulting in partial resection, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. There were no recurrences, suffering only a left arm lymphoedema. Various thyroid nodules occur in 2004, is diagnosed a DIFFUSE AND NODULAR STRUMA I° GRADE, WITH INDIPENDENT MULTIFOCAL AND EUTIROSIS. In February 2005 it was made a radioiodine therapy. Then hormone replacement. Now a few more nodes can be perceived, pressure on thyroid and fatigue. She also present a SJOGREN'S SYNDROME. In 2005 we immediately start homeopathic treatment and gradually we see a improvement of the symptoms of thyroid, nodules regress, fatigue is less and she can remove the thyroid hormone replacement! All the symptoms of Sjogren's syndrome disappear completely. The left arm lymphoedema regresses and so far she has never had a recurrence of cancer.

Case of acute appendicitis

February 2011 three year old girl comes of urgency in the studio, in a desperate crying and accusing extreme pain in the right lower abdomen. The pain started suddenly from a few hours. At the clinic visit is very likely an ACUTE APPENDICITIS. Even both parents when they were children were operated on for acute appendicitis. It is given a homeopathic remedy and after a few minutes the baby stops crying and says that pain is almost gone! In the following days the symptoms and the pain they have never presented. Complete healing.

Case of acute appendicitis 2

October 2011 11 year old boy is brought to the hospital for severe abdominal pain. At sonography you see appendix enlarged, palpable symptoms compatible with acute appendicitis. In addition to the laboratory values ??are found inflammation: leukocytes 22,000 and PCR 45. The picture of advanced acute appendicitis is confirmed. The surgeon wants to operate urgently within a couple of hours. Parents call me: we give an acute remedy and try to wait a few hours to see the course. The pain improves rapidly. The next day clearly better. In the following days no more pain! After 5 days we repeat the laboratory and the values ??were normalized inflammation: leukocytes 10,000 and PCR 3 (normal <5).
Again homeopathy proves to be extremely effective in important, acute inflammatory cases and especially (as opposed to what is usually said about homeopathy) fast. It was possible to avoid such an intervention surgery and the required anesthesia.

Case of bilateral breast cancer

January 2008 comes a patient of 53 years who in June 2007 was diagnosed with bilateral breast cancer (mammography, sonography, CT scan, bone scan). It 'was operated in two stages, July and August of 2007 (ablatio mammae with axillary dissection): left ductal-invasive carcinoma pT3, pN3a (19/19), G3, positive hormone receptors, HER2 negative again (on the left all the axillary lymph nodes were positive), right ductal-invasive carcinoma multifocal MpT1c, pN0, G2, hormone receptors positive, HER2 negative again. After that, the patient refused further traditional therapy (chemotherapy, radiation therapy antihormonal).
January 2008 started homeopathic treatment (without any other treatments). December 2009 is finding a local recurrence, with two axillary lymph nodes. Operation on 7.1.10: 2 out of 4 positive lymph nodes. It is proposed again chemotherapy and radiotherapy, the patient refuses. She accept only the anti-hormonal treatment with Femara. We continue with homeopathic care and all the local symptoms (pain in the chest area and the various arms) and the general disappeared. So far the patient in perfect shape, asymptomatic, works 100% and has had no recurrence.

Case of breast cancer

I see a patient of 56 years old in September of 2000. At the mammogram in August was seen a breast microcalcification, highly suspicious for a breast carinoma. The patient did not want to do further investigation (biopsy) and has decided to start immediately with a homeopathic cure. We start the treatment. 30.1.2001 the first mammography control where there is a clear reduction of microcalcifications! The radiologist is amazed. The patient also feels a lot better in general. On 09/03/2001 (after a year of homeopathic treatment) was redone a second mammogram control: further regression of microcalcifications in terms of both number and morphological! The radiologist said that at this point the finding is no longer suspected malignancy! We continue with the homeopathic treatment. 7.10.2002 third control mammography: finding stable, always in the name of improvement. It continues with homeopathy. 13.9.2004 fourth mammography control: further regression of microcalcifications in terms of both number and size. I explain to the patient that despite the fact that the breast pathology was practically normalized, it is very imporant to continue with the homeopathic treatment on a very regular basis. Despite this, the patient thins more and more consultations. March 2007 takes the last homeopathic dose. Then for a year, despite my recommendations, the patient does not contact me again and then suspending totally care. April 2008 contact me again because now he palpated a lump in her right breast. The nodule measuring about 1.5 cm. A biopsy is performed to confirm that it is a rapid proliferation of cancer, medium differentiated, multifocal, invasive ductal carcinoma, negative for steroid receptors. Negative tumor markers. May 2008 we continue with the homeopathic treatment, the tumor initially stable. Sonographic monitoring of June 2008, the tumor appears to be slightly larger, the patient prefers to operate. Intervention (ablatio mammae) performed 3.7.2008: multicenter carcinoma, multifocal invasive ductal carcinoma, pT2 pN1a (2/20) M0 G2. Two positive nodes. The beginning 6.8.2008 chemotarapia simultaneously with the homeopathic treatment: it feels good and few side effects. Chemotherapy ended 19:11:08 (6 cycles). Following are not performed other cancer therapies. We continue with the homeopathic treatment on a regular basis. The patient is doing well without any recurrence. In this case we can see very well the ability of homeopathy to treat cancer at an early stage in a position to do for many years a maintenance care. In fact, if the patient had not pause after the improvement of microcalcifications, there would be no recurrence.

Case of a aggressive tinea pedis with bacterial superinfection

April 2007 53 year old patient has a tinea pedis (fungus), which is advancing rapidly in both feet, creating painful bruises and very itchy. Following the whole foot swells with imporant danger of bacterial superinfection with acute lymphangitis and swelling of the inguinal lymph glands.

Clinically, there was an improvement in symptoms immediately: better diplopia and was generally much better on many fronts.
The 17.9.08 new MRI: tumor size unchanged, then no growth.
The patient continued regular homeopathic treatment so far and diplopia has practically disappeared and the general level is very good.
So good result as the definition for meningioma continues to grow worse greatly varied neurological symptoms (in this case primarily the view). With homeopathic treatment there has been not a deterioration in these years of therapy, but rather the neurological symptoms (diplopia) have disappeared.

With the onset of homeopathic therapy, typical symptoms and laboratory have improved immediately, and then normalized within 1-2 years. Allopathic therapy has been gradually reduced, and then completely interrupted in 2012.
