Surgery. We love it; we hate it. It can be life threatening and it can be life saving. In the world of homeopathy, it’s a measure that we try to avoid as oft as possible since homeopathy often has the ability to eliminate the need for it. However, there are times in which it is inevitable and so homeopathy is still there in the ready.
The surgical protocol that will be discussed is both pre and post operative and is accepted world wide by homeopathic physicians. It is also the protocol used in homeopathic hospitals in the Netherlands, India, England and South America and was a mainstay of American hospitals until relatively recently.
Homeopathy is a two hundred year old medical method. In the US, it was considered a mainstay of 40% of the doctors and hospitals until the 1940′s. It’s demise came as a result of political in-fighting between medical factions, but today it is making a comeback in the US while it continues to thrive in Europe and India. It has the reputation for dealing with the most rigorous post surgical settings in short order.
The most important aspect of the protocol is that the advice of a homeopathic consultant be attained throughout the process. This is valuable since there are situations in which the educated voice of experience is necessary. At such a tentative period in someone’s life, situations can change rapidly.
The protocol is as follows:
Arnica montana 200c given morning and night on the day before surgery. Then repeated the morning of and just before being wheeled into the operating room. What is the purpose? Arnica montana has a reputation for keeping infection at bay, minimizing the shock to the system, reducing swelling, minimizing the possibility of hemorrhages and putting the patient at ease. This should be repeated as soon as possible after surgery and administered every 2-3 hours from that time on until consciousness is revived, then repeated as often as required to eliminate pain. If pain is persistent, it indicates the need for more frequent repetition, perhaps every hour or two. If the pain is still a problem, Hypericum 200 should be considered an alternate so that Arnica is administered say, every even hour and Hypericum every odd hour.
Sometimes, other remedies are required, such as Staphasagria 200 for wound pain and Nux vomica for nausea from the anesthetic. Phosphorus also comes into use as a powerful remedy for headaches and difficulty withdrawing from the anesthetic. This is when the experience of a well educated homeopath is best employed, whether in person or on the phone.
If the American surgeon was reacquainted with the methods of his predecessors and European counterparts who so deftly understand the value of homeopathy, the rates of post surgical problems would be greatly minimized. Why is this no longer common protocol? To shorten a very long story; it has more to do with the pharmaceutical industry’s profit margins and how they have successfully infiltrated the education of doctors and hospitals. Quarterly margins should not come in the way of you or your loved one’s surgical recovery and well being.
It’s important to know that homeopathic remedies can never interfere with conventional drugs. This includes the ingestion before surgery. For obvious reasons, it is advisable to not take food or drink before surgery, but the melting of three tiny pills for each dose doesn’t fall into this category. Homeopathy is safe, gentle, curative, noninvasive and compatible.
The next time you or someone you love is faced with surgery, talk with your homeopath first, then if surgery is certain, work with your homeopath and follow the protocol utilized by homeopathic hospitals and physicians throughout the world. Then your world will be a be better place for it.

Hair loss can be a very unpleasant experience for any person. Men are more prone to this problem than women and usually get male pattern hair loss that is characterized by hair thinning and balding that starts in the crown and hairline areas and progresses towards partial or complete baldness. It may be not the worst thing to happen from the physiological point of view since hair doesn’t play any significant functional role in the health of a person. However, hair loss can trigger serious psychological discomfort because it affects a visible portion of a person’s body and can seriously affect a person’s image. Since hair loss is still considered to be a sign of bad health the person experiencing it can automatically be regarded as ill and get treated respectively. That’s why so many men a desperate to find an effective solution for hair loss problems and weight in on all the possible options, the most popular of witch are hair transplantation and Propecia treatment course.
Hair transplantation has become one of the most promising and effective methods of dealing with hair loss when it was introduced as compared to all the semi-medical treatment options that were available in the past. Hair transplantation involves surgical removal of hair from one part of the body and its inception in the area of hair loss. This technique requires high qualification from the doctor performing transplantation and can be rather costly if you are looking to do it in a professional clinic. Besides, there’s always a risk that the hair that’s been transplanted will fall off too and you will need another pricey procedure to restore its previous state. Still many men choose this treatment option because it is more effective than most herbal and semi-medical preparations for hair loss and was the only medical solution for a period of time.
Propecia, on the other hand, was the first medication to be actually approved by the FDA for the treatment of hair loss in men. Before it was introduced to the market there were no prescription medications to use for hair loss and even the causes of the problem haven’t been studied well. However, after people started using Propecia and observed its effectiveness there were more studies undertaken on the nature of hair loss in men and it was discovered that it’s triggered by the excess of a specific androgen in the bloodstream that Propecia helps controlling. Thus, unlike hair transplantation. Propecia targets the exact cause rather than effect when dealing with hair loss. Yet, the drug also has its limitations and is not for everyone.
Hair transplantation can be used by both men and women whereas Propecia is prescribed solely to men and shouldn’t be even handled by women because it may cause serious hormonal changes. Propecia has higher effectiveness rates and is much cheaper than transplantation surgeries but you will have to take it for a really long time in order to stop, reverse hair loss and sustain the effects you’ve achieved. So it’s highly recommended to consult with your doctor about the both options in order to choose the one that’s more appropriate in your situation.

Male pattern hair loss is the type of problem that doesn’t necessarily affect a person’s health in a negative way but certainly decreases self esteem and can cause psychological issues. Because this issue affect the part of the body that plays an important role in social display a lot of patients can experience changes in their social activity, in most severe cases limiting their activity due to their alleged unattractiveness. If you are worried about your hair and don’t want to deal with hair loss problems you have probably taking some measures to prevent the development of the problem. Yet, there are certain things you have to know about hair loss prevention that will really help you set your priorities straight. First, let’s look at some of the most common factors that are claimed to be the cause for hair loss and how can you target them to prevent the issue.
Hair loss is often claimed to be caused by malnutrition of hair, especially when shampoo producers want to make you buy their new products. Every shampoo out there is claimed to contain vitamins and minerals that help your hair grow better and stronger. Sure, proper hair nutrition is a must if you want to have good hair. But there are two things you have to understand about this aspect of hair health. First of all, hair malnutrition is rarely the cause of hair loss because if you don’t get all the proper vitamins and minerals in necessary condition hair loss will be the last problem on your mind since there will be more serious health conditions taking place. Sure, if you don’t get enough right vitamins your hair may become thinner and get into a slightly worse condition but it will be far from balding since you will have to sit on a vitamin-free diet to achieve such an effect. And secondly, all the substances we are discussing here should be consumed internally. All those balms and shampoos that have vitamins and minerals can’t give you any effect because these substances are not absorbed by hair and get washed off with water. Of course, that’s not a proposal to drink your shampoo! It’s just a suggestion that you will benefit more from taking vitamin supplements than using expensive “natural” shampoos.
What really causes hair loss in most men is hormonal imbalance. Sure, it’s a vague term that can be interpreted as change of any hormone level, which are dozens and affect nearly all aspects of human body functioning. However, when it comes to hair loss there’s a specific hormone to watch out for, called dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is the product of testosterone conversion. It tends to accumulate in the body with time and that’s why most men start experiencing hair loss at a later stage of their lives. There’s a drug called Propecia that can help you lower the levels of DHT when they are too high. But until that happens you can monitor your hormone levels on a regular basis just to make sure that you won’t be needing Propecia anytime soon.

For the many men who suffer from the condition known as erectile dysfunction, life can be very difficult. Having this condition can make men feel very self conscious and embarrassed even though it is actually a common condition that many men have suffered from. Of course, it is important for men with this condition to take action to try and do something about it and one very effective treatment that has already helped many men that suffer from ED is called Cialis. When you take Cialis you can start getting back on track with your sex life and your love life, which can take a lot of pressure and stress off you, leading to a positive effect on your quality of life.
If you are considering taking Cialis you should always make sure that you find out as much as possible about the treatment before you start taking it – a good rule of thumb for any drug based treatments that you are considering taking. This way you will know exactly how the treatment works, what to expect, what the possible complications and side effects are, whether it is suited to your needs and safe for you to take, etc. Below are a few important considerations to take into account if you are thinking of taking Cialis to deal with your erectile dysfunction.
You should bear in mind that Cialis is not a cure for erectile dysfunction, so do not expect to take the medication for a while and then be cured. It is a treatment that helps you to achieve and maintain an erection through taking specified doses of the treatment. You can choose from a daily dosage pack or a 36 hour dosage pack depending on your preferences
Whilst the side effects that come with this treatment are generally mild and short lived, there are a number of side effects that you may experience, although some users may experience few or even no side effects. Some of these include: flushing, back pains, stomach upset, headaches, runny nose and indigestion. If you experience these side effects but they persist rather than subsiding in a short space of time it is advisable to speak to your doctor
This treatment has helped many men who suffer from erectile dysfunction but it is not suitable for everyone. For example, men who are taking certain medications for heart related problems may not be able to take this medication. It is therefore important that you discuss your full medical history and any medications that you are taking with your doctor prior to taking Cialis
Cialis will not sexually stimulate the user. In order for the treatment to be effective you need to be sexually stimulated, as Cialis simply helps to increase the blood flow to the penis in order to help a sexually stimulated man to achieve and maintain an erection in order to engage in sexual activity

Acne can be a mild problem that gets easily eliminated by topical solutions you can buy at any pharmacy. But it can also be a problem that will require you to address a dermatologist and undergo a serious treatment. In most cases moderate and severe forms of acne will make the doctor prescribe you with an antibiotic treatment either in the form of pills or topical cremes. In some cases such a treatment will actually help, while in other circumstances the problem can get even worse. So what’s the catch with antibiotic acne treatment, what are its main drawbacks and is there any effective alternative to it? Let’s answer these questions.
First of all, we’ll have to look into the actual causes behind acne breakouts in order to understand why antibiotics are used for treating this condition. The usual mechanism of acne formation involves several factors. There’s a lot of different bacteria dwelling in skin pores, usually beneficial and helping fight alien bacteria that can cause irritation or infections. The amount of these bacteria is usually stable. However, when there’s an abundance of oil in the skin, which is very favorable for bacterial development, the amount of beneficial bacteria increases and that causes inflammation. This is what we see as acne and that’s why it is usually associated with bacterial infections. So the obvious solution would be to use a drug that cuts down the amount of bacteria and prevents inflammation. That’s exactly what doctors do when prescribing antibiotics to their patients.
There’s one problem with antibiotics though. Because they target nearly all bacteria in the skin this means that most beneficial bacteria are also eliminated. This creates the risk of alien bacterial infection because the usual bacteria protecting your skin from outside agents are eliminated by the treatment. And you may end up having more serious problems. Besides, after some time the amount of own bacteria can exceed again the normal amount if there are favorable conditions for bacterial development (increased oil production) and you will have to take antibiotics again. Which is not very good for your health in general because antibiotics seriously affect the liver and can also cause dysbiosis in many parts of the body, which can also be a serious health problem.
A really effective alternative to antibiotic acne treatment is using Accutane. This drug is regarded as the most effective solution for acne but since it is very potent it is only meant to be used under strict doctor supervision. Accutane has a different approach to treating acne and addresses the actual problem behind acne formation – excessive oil production in the skin. If the amount of oil is normalized there will be less bacteria and no irritation in the skin, which will stop acne breakouts. That’s exactly why Accutane is so effective for treating acne and doesn’t seriously affect any other aspects of skin health. Speak to your doctor about using Accutane in order to make sure that this drug will work for you.
