Question by Stressed: EXTREME dry eye-many questions?
OK so here’s a backround story of my eye, the long annoying story of mine. ok so when i was little my doctor noticed my left eye would like droop and would look lower than my right eye, and it went lower and lower, (it never hurt) but ya. they eventually found out through MRI that i had a tumor growing above my eye pushing down my eye. so my doctor took it out, thank God i didn’t have cancer, BUT the tumor was growing out of my Lacamal gland (the main tear gland) so they had to take that out to. so ya, i can’t make tears in my left eye anymore. so they tested my eye and said u just need to keep ur eye moisturized with artifitial tears. so life was good, my eyes were looking normal, but starting about the late summer of 2010, it started to feel really dry and irritated, and this is like two years around after the surgery. so i just started to put more eyedrops in. i use homeopathic eyedrops, but my eye started to get really irritated, and the eyedrops would make it worse. plus my left eye looks noticably smaller than my right eye. so i told my doctor and she told me not to use homeopathic and use over the counter artificial tears, nothing changed. she told me to use preservative free eye drops, which don’t irritate me, but don’t really give me the relief i want. and i went to an eye specialist, and i mainly wanted to know why my left eye was smaller than my right, he didin’t really give me an answer. He was kinda like, maybe the eye is closing alittle more from lack of mouisture. anyways, so i kinda feel my doctors are just tring to ignore me and just u know, take my money and get me out of their office. so a few days ago my RIGHT eye, the one that did not have a tumor and has the tear gland was feeling reallllly dry, even more than my left. i felt crazy cause my whole life i’ve just never had normal eyes, and knowing something is now happening to my right eye is just horrible. so luckily it’s ok now, but i mean why did that happen? and now, today, my left eye which is the one WITHOUT the tear gland, o my gosh, i have never felt it so dry in my life. i used like 6 tubes of preservative free eyedrops, and it didn’t relieve my eye and it feels like the inside of my eye is dry like a desert. and my eye is squinting by itself because the dry irritation and wants to close shut. I know that the eyedrops if my eyes were normal should take them as relief. but my eyes are soo dry. i also want to put in that i have a very dryyy body. i have dandruff, in my scalp and my eyebrows. i have reallly dry hands. so can u tell me what i should do at this point? and also i have been always afraid of contacts. and in my situation contacts would be a definite no, but in a few months is my birthday and i was wanting to put in colored contacts, just for my birthday. but im so scared it will mess up my eye. and ive never put in contacts before. so please tell me what to do!!!!

get a second opinion from another eye specialist!
BTW, if you have dry eyes,you cant wear contact lenses.
you may need to see a skin dr also, to find out why is your skin is so dry?
did you have any blood tests done to check your thyroid function?

Question by Jack: Why Do People Buy Homeopathic Medicine?
I was talking to a friend of mine that insisted that homeopathic medicine works and I need to open my eyes and try it out. So she gave me two types that she had sitting around. One was supposed to help me relax after a long day of practicing real medicine and another was supposed to help with joint pain.

I followed the directions for a week and…….neither one worked (shocking!). My question is, why do people buy this stuff? It doesn’t seem to do anything or follow the laws of science.

Best answer:

Answer by Gary Y
Yes, homeopathy does not follow the laws of science, or physics or biology. Like does not cure like, water does not remember the ‘energy’ of the original ingredient once every last molecule has been diluted away, potency does not increase with higher dilutions, we do not have have a ‘vital force’ that detects the original ingredient’s ‘energy’ and expels disease.

Many people are not aware of what homeopathy really is; they think it’s just ‘natural’ or ‘herbal’ medicine. They will not account for the placebo effect, their illness may be self limiting – they will get better regardless, they may not had had a real condition to start with – homeopaths love the worried well.

It boils down to ignorance, a lack of critical thinking skills, a poor understanding of basic science, gullibility, cognitive dissonance.

They may be presented with clinical trails that appear to show efficacy, but lack the necessary skills to interpret these studies, which typically have been small, badly designed, lacked appropriate control groups, or had other issues that affected how meaningful the results were.

Systematic reviews of homeopathy studies how a clear pattern; the better the study the smaller the effect; even better studies turn out negative; multiple systematic reviews show that there is insufficient evidence to conclude that homeopathy works for any single condition.

Skeptic James Randi has just re-issued his million dollar challenge to anyone who can prove homeopathy works; this comes at the same time where skeptics have just protested internationally by ‘overdosing’ on homeopathic remedies to demonstrate they contain no active ingredients, as part of the 10:23 campaign. If you don’t know what 10:23 means – google it. The last time I posted a link to it, i was reported by the homeoquacks.

EDIT: @Leanne, please do not compare homeopathy to vaccines – they are completely different. Vaccines work by introducing a killed or weakened antigen which causes the body to make a specific immune response and recognize that infection in the future. They do not cure anything.

Homeopathy pretends that ‘like cures like’ – a substance that produces symptoms in a healthy person similar to those in the ill person is (allegedly) introduced, which empowers the body’s ‘vital force’ to expel the disease. This is a vitalistic PHILOSOPHY, has no basis in reality and is NOTHING like vaccination.

Your assertion that detection beyond Avogadro’s number becoming possible in the future is special pleading and does NOT mean homeopathy works – you are forgetting that in over 200 years homeopathy has NEVER been substantiated to work for any condition.

The reason you are gobsmacked is because you don’t seem to understand how homeopathy is supposed to work. And yes you are defending it.

Chronic Liver Cirrhosis for sine , sysmptoms and Homeopathic treatment

Liver Cirrhrosis  following signs and symptoms may occur in the presence of cirrhosis or as a result of the complications of cirrhosis. Many are nonspecific and may occur in other diseases and do not necessarily point to cirrhosis. Likewise, the absence of any does not rule out the possibility of cirrhosis.

1. Spider angiomata or spider nevi. Vascular lesions consisting of central arteriole surrounded by many smaller vessels due to an increase in estradiol.

2. Palmar erythema. Exaggerations of normal speckled mottling of the palm, due to altered sex hormone metabolism.

3. Muehrcke’s nails - paired horizontal bands separated by normal color due to   hypoalbuminemia

4. Terry’s nails – proximal two thirds of the nail plate appears white with distal one-third red, also due to hypoalbuminemia

5. Clubbing – Angle between the nail plate and proximal nail fold > 180 degrees

6. Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy. Chronic proliferative periostitis of the long bones that can cause considerable pain.

7. Dupuytren’s contracture. Thickening and shortening of palmar fascia that leads to flexion deformities of the fingers. Thought to be due to fibroblastic proliferation and disorderly collagen deposition. It is relatively common (33% of patients).

8. Gynecomastia. Benign proliferation of glandular tissue of male breasts presenting with a rubbery or firm mass extending concentrically from the nipples. This is due to increased estradiol and can occur up to 66% of patients.

9  Liiver size. Can be enlarged, normal, or shrunken.

10. Splenomegaly. Due to congestion of the red pulp as a result of portal hypertension.

11. Hypogonadism. Manifested as impotence, infertility, loss of sexual drive, and testicular atrophy due to primary gonadal injury or suppression of hypothalamic or pituitary function.

12. Splenomegaly. Due to congestion of the red pulp as a result of portal hypertension.

13. Ascites. Accumulation of fluid in the peritoneal cavity giving rise to flank dullness (needs about 1500 mL to detect flank dullness).

14.Caput medusa. In portal hypertension, the umbilical vein may open. Blood from the portal venous system may be shunted through the periumbilical veins into the umbilical vein and ultimately to the abdominal wall veins, manifesting as caput medusa.

15.Cruveilhier-Baumgarten murmur. Venous hum heard in epigastric region due to collateral connections between portal system and the remnant of the umbilical vein in portal hypertension.

Fetor hepaticus Sweet pungent smell in breath due to increased dimethyl sulfide due to severe portal-systemic shunting.

16. Jaundice. Yellow discoloring of the skin, eye, and mucus membranes due to increased bilirubin (at least 2-3 mg/dL or 30 mmol/L). Urine may also appear dark.

17.Asterixis. Bilateral asynchronous flapping of outstretched, dorsiflexed hands seen in patients with hepatic encephalopathy.

18.Other. Weakness, fatigue, anorexia, weight loss.

Complications-

As the disease progresses, complications may develop. In some people, these may be the first signs of the disease.

1. Bruising and bleeding due to decreased production of coagulation Jaundice due to decreased processing of bilirubin.

2. Itching(pruritus) due to bile products deposited in the skin.

Hepatic encephalopathy- the liver does not clear ammonia and related nitrogenous substances from the blood, which are carried to the brain, affecting cerebral functioning: neglect of personal appearance, unresponsiveness, forgetfulness, trouble concentrating, or changes in sleep habits.

Sensitivity to medication due to decreased metabolism of the active compounds.

3. Hepatocellular carcinoma is primary liver cancer, a frequent complication of cirrhosis. It has a high mortality rate.

4. Portal hypertension- blood normally carried from the intestines and spleen through the portal vein flows more slowly and the pressure increases; this leads to the following complications:

5. Ascites – fluid leaks through the vasculature into the abdominal cavity.

Problems in other organs.

1. Cirrhosis can cause immune system dysfunction, leading to . Signs and symptoms of infection may be aspecific are more difficult to recognize (e.g. worsening encephalopathy but no fever).

2. Fluid in the abdomen (ascites) may become infected with bacteria normally present in the intestines (spontaneous bacterial peritonitis).

3. Hepatorenal syndrome – insufficient blood supply to the kidneys, causing acute renal failure.This complication has a very high mortality (over 50%).

4. Hepatopulmonary syndrome- blood bypassing the normal lung circulation (shunting), leading to cyanosis and dyspnea (shortness of breath), characteristically worse on sitting up.

5. Portopulmonary hypertension – increased blood pressure over the lungs as a consequence of portal hypertension 

Remedies-

1. Dolichos pruriens [Dolichos] 

Chief indication for chronic cholestatic hepatitis, activity of third degree, with progressive development and hepatocellular insufficiency of second degree, with transformation into cirrhosis of liver. Syndrome of portal hypertension of first degree. Syndrome of cholestasis with intensive constant itch of skin.

The basic symptoms are:

The intensive, unbearable, “terrible” itch of skin which is especially worse in evening at 9 p.m. and nights hours.

The great general weakness.

The intensive pains in both hypochondriac regions, tearing, dull, burning: “As if from the nettle”. The dull pain under the angle of right scapula: “As if there the abscess under the skin”. This pain is more intensive under the scapula rather than in right hypochondrium. This pain is extending, “shooting” trough the right hypochondrium to the back and right scapula.

The constant yellow colour of the eyes.

The massive deposits of cholesterine around the eye lids – the so called “ksanthoma”, of yellow colour.

The bitterness in the mouth, during all the day.

Stool constipated. Stool of white colour, resembling white clay.

The intensive thirst for drinks 

2. Carduus Marianus [Carduus mar] 

The chief action of this drug is centered in the liver, and portal system, causing soreness, pain, jaundice. Has specific relation to the vascular system. Especially indicated in individuals with abuse of alcoholic beverages, especially beer. Pain in region of liver especially Left lobe very sensitive. Fullness and soreness, with moist skin. Constipation; stools hard, difficult, knotty; alternates with diarrhœa. Hyperæmia of liver, with jaundice. One of the chief remedies for Cirrhosis of liver.

3. Magnesium Muriaticum [Mag mur]

Mag mur is chiefly a liver remedy with pronounced characteristic constipation. It has chronic liver affections like cirrhosis with tenderness and pain, extending to spine and epigastrium ad the pain is worse after food. Pressing pain in liver; worse lying on right side. Liver is enlarged with bloating of abdomen; yellow tongue.

4. Ptelea Trifoliata [Ptelea]  

Is a remarkable remedy in stomach and liver affections. The aching and heaviness in the region of the liver is greatly aggravated by lying on the left side. Liver sore, swollen, sensitive to pressure. Indicated in end stages of cirrhosis.

5. Nux Vomica [Nux vom]

In liver affections occurring in those who have indulged to excess in alcoholic liquors, highly seasoned food, quinine, or in those who have abused themselves with purgatives, Nux is the first remedy to be thought of. The liver is swollen hard and sensitive to the touch and pressure of clothing is uncomfortable. The first remedy in cirrhosis of the liver. Colic may be present. In the enlarged liver of drunkards, Sulphur, Lachesis, Fluoric acid, Arsenic and Ammonium muriaticum must also be borne in mind, together with Nux.

6. Lycopodium. [Lyc]
Lycopodium acts powerfully on the liver. The region of the liver is sensitive to the touch, and there is a feeling of tension in it, a feeling as if a cord were tied about the waist. Cirrhosis of liver. The pains are dull and aching instead of sharp and lancinating, as under Chelidonium. Fullness in the stomach after eating a small quantity. There are no real icteric symptoms, but there is a peculiar sallow complexion.

7. Chelidonium Majus [Chel]
The liver symptoms of Chelidonium are very prominent. There is soreness and stitching pains in the region of the liver, but the keynote for this drug in hepatic diseases is a pain under the angle of the right shoulder blade, which may extend to the chest, stomach, or hypochondrium; there is swelling of the liver, chilliness, fever, jaundice, yellow coated tongue, bitter taste and a craving for acids and sour things, such as pickles and vinegar. The stools are profuse, bright yellow and diarrhoea; they may be clayey in color. Taken altogether, Chelidonium is perhaps our greatest liver remedy; it causes the liver to secrete thinner and more profuse bile than any remedy; it is a useful remedy to promote the expulsion of gall stones, and to prevent their formation. It affects the left lobe of the liver much less than does Carduus marianus. 

 Remedies For Cirrhosis of Liver are-

Apoc., Ars., Ars. iod., Aur. m., Aur. mur., Calc. ars.,Cascara sag., Cinch., Fel tauri, Fluor. ac., Graph., Hydr., Iod., Kali bich., Kali iod.,  Merc. d., Merc., Nasturt. ag., Nat. chlor., Nit. ac., Nit. mur. ac.,  Phos., Plumb., Pod., Quass., Senec.
