As far as I know the Silicea 8% extract 500mg is not a homeopathic remedy and it cannot therefore be expected to have the same curative effect. | | |

Hi Joe, thanks for the response.
so Im going to switch to Arnica 30C and Silicea 6x.
How do I take these? 3 times a day? under the tongue? can I take em with water?
Also, do you think working out moderately 3 times a week and playing racquetball once a week is bad for the fistula?
one last thing: do you think sitting down for long periods of time should be avoided at ANY cost? seems like thats what makes the fistula burst.
thanks again.

I have always recommended that any homeopathic remedy be used in the liquid dose. This is made by inserting 3 pellets of the remedy into a 500ml bottle of spring water which you shake hard or bang against your palm to ensure bubbling every time before a teaspoonful which is then the dose is sipped twice daily.
This rule is only good for the c potencies and can therefore only apply to the Arnica. The Silicea 6x must be swallowed whole. 2 tablets is a dose.
You are welcome to do your regular exercise daily. Sitting in one place for long can exacerbate your problem and you are advised to use a hollow air pillow which will ease your discomfort.
Foods to be avoided are red meats, acidic fruits and veg like tomatoes, pineapples and of course alcohol which will cause distress almost immediately.

Hello..first of all I would like to say, this is such a great forum! I am hoping that someone can help me with this situation.
On Christmas 2005, I had an anal abscess drained, which re occured 2 months later...as this was healing it was determined that there is likely a fistula. Of course every dr./surgeon I have seen insists that I go completely under in order to repair, even though it appears that it is a very shallow fistula. I REALLY would like to find another alternative to the harsh drugs involved in general anesthesia and cure this naturally.
I have been reading posts on here, about people using Arnica and Silicea to cure Fistulas... I would love to hear from some folks who have had sucess with this method, and possibly and suggestions, including the amounts and frequencies... I recently started Arnica 30C pellets under the tongue 2-3 times a day as well as Silicea 6c under the tonque (only for 2 days now)...
Is this the optimum dosages for this ailment? In addition, I have stopped consuming caffein and alcohol.. however I still use nicotine..
Does anyone have any advise for a surgery fearing guy such as myself?
Thanks! | | |

The remedies that have helped cases like yours are listed in the post of Noproblemo above.
Do not ever consider surgery as this will be an ever recurring feature as some patients have been in surgery up to 6 times to my knowledge and finally in desperation used this same formula they were soon cured.
If you are constipated you are advised to use Nat Phos 6x dose 2 tablets after lunch and dinner.
Report response ASAP. | | |
| Update from Beth | From bethw [Log on to view profile] | on 2006-04-25 |
I've continued Joe's regimen, with the addition of Nat Phos. Drainage from the site continues as before, on occasion building up pressure and discomfort, then releasing with a diminution of pain. The initial flatulence later in the day has resolved, although appetite still is less than before starting the remedies. I tried TRAUMEEL gel and it irritated my skin, so I stopped that. NEOSPORIN ointment in the last couple days is very soothing. I occasionally see varying amounts of blood from my old fissure. I continue exercising, I'm sleeping well and trying to keep good spirits. | | |

Glad to note that the Arnica/Silicea therapy is helping you.
How long have you used this therapy ?
It is important that you use the correct potencies of Arnica and Silicea which is 30c and 6x respectively.
It is important to keep your stools soft and you are advised to eat bananas and prunes to help. | | |
| Update | From bethw [Log on to view profile] | on 2006-04-26 |
I have been following your instructions since April 5th, although you can look back and see that you recommended Arnica 6c, not 30c, in the water dose (3 tablets in 500 ml spring water). Should I switch to 30 and use 6c when the problem is lessened or resolved?
I began Nat Phos when it arrived in the mail April 21.
I have maintained a high fiber diet with lots of water. | | |
| re: anal fistula- fissure | From Joe De Livera [Log on to view profile] | on 2006-04-26 |
Yes you may change over to the higher potency of Arnica 30c which may be able to help you better.
I presume that you are also using the Silicea 6x tablets which cannot be used in the wet dose and must be allowed to dissolve on the tongue. Dose 2 tablets twice daily.
Please confirm | | |
| Change in regimen | From bethw [Log on to view profile] | on 2006-04-26 |
Thanks, Joe. I'll change to Arnica 30c for now and look for more improvement. You previously recommended Silicea 6x one 4 times a day if possible. It's fit into my schedule as 2 morning, 1 afternoon, 1 evening dissolved under the tongue. | | |
| re: anal fistula- fissure | From Joe De Livera [Log on to view profile] | on 2006-04-26 |
I would advise you to get another brand of Arnica as it is possible that the brand you used of the 6c may be off spec. I would recommend you get it from ABC or Washington Home Products who manufacture the remedies.
Your use of the Silicea 6x is OK.
Keep your stools soft to prevent the passage from irritating the delicate area that is affected. You are advised to eat bananas and prunes and if available Papaws. | | |

dear Joe,
The silicea 8x has arrived yesterday. Can i take with water, ie 2 pellets twice daily??
I have not taken coffee for almost 2 weeks.
thanks | | |
| re: anal fistula- fissure | From Joe De Livera [Log on to view profile] | on 2006-04-26 |
The X potencies cannot be used in the wet dose like the Arnica 30c and must be swallowed whole.
2 pellets twice daily is OK. | This thread continues beneath the following ad.

| re: anal fistula- fissure | From Joe De Livera [Log on to view profile] | on 2006-04-26 |
Correction
2 tablets Silicea 8x is OK taken twice daily.
You mentioned pellets but they must be in tablet form. | | |
| re: anal fistula- fissure | From izaac [Log on to view profile] | on 2006-04-26 |
hi joe,
abc sells them in pellets form. | | |
| re: anal fistula- fissure | From Joe De Livera [Log on to view profile] | on 2006-04-26 |
What is the diameter of a pellet ?
This info is important to ensure that you get the required dose.
They are marketed here in tablet form and are about 5mm diameter and are about 3mm thick. The X potencies are all triturated and not homeopathically potentized.
Can you get confirmation about this matter from ABC as you must have the triturated boichemic type. | | |
| re: anal fistula- fissure | From izaac [Log on to view profile] | on 2006-04-26 |
hi joe,,
the silicea pellets abc sent are 3.5mm in diameter--spherical. | | |
| re: anal fistula- fissure | From Joe De Livera [Log on to view profile] | on 2006-04-26 |
It is possible that you have been sent the Homeopathic version of the remedy. I do not think that it will have the same effect as the Biochemic version.
You are advised to verify this matter with ABC and if it is not the Biochemic version you should return it and have it replaced.
The impact of the 2 versions are different and only the biochemic version will help. | | |
| re: anal fistula- fissure | From izaac [Log on to view profile] | on 2006-04-26 |
hi joe,
but abc has got only 3 types:
-pellets
-liquid dilution
-tinctures (liquid form also) | | |
| re: anal fistula- fissure | From Joe De Livera [Log on to view profile] | on 2006-04-26 |
If so the remedy you have got will not help you.
The Biochemic version is triturated by grinding 1 part of the Silicea which is just plain sand with 9 parts of lactose. One part of this mix is again ground with another 9 parts of lactose and so on till this is done 6 times for a 6x remedy.
The effect of the triturated Biochemic salt is different from the Homeopathically potentized product whihc is done by mixing 1 part of the Q or mother tincture with 9 parts of Ethanol etc 6 times over.
You must get the correct Biochemic remedy for your problem as what you have will not work. | | |
| re: anal fistula- fissure | From izaac [Log on to view profile] | on 2006-04-26 |
hi joe,
abc's description for the pellets---- pellets contain lactose.
so it is the lactose version. | | |
| re: anal fistula- fissure | From Joe De Livera [Log on to view profile] | on 2006-04-26 |
All pellets used for remedies are made of lactose. It is in the process of their manufacture that the biochemic differs from the homeopathic as I explained in a previous post.
I'm afraid you will have to get the Biochemic which is triturated to help with your ailment. | | |
| re: anal fistula- fissure | From izaac [Log on to view profile] | on 2006-04-26 |
hi joe,
but from where???
abc carries only the 3 types i mentioned above. | | |
| re: anal fistula- fissure | From Joe De Livera [Log on to view profile] | on 2006-04-26 |
Washington Home Products manufactures the Biochemic version of Silicea 6x. |
