How to select a proper Prostate Remedy?

There are more than a dozen remedies for prostatic troubles. But selecting wrong remedy or wrong potency only increase the sufferings of the patient? Which common factors should be considered for select an appropriate prostate remedy (with potency and doses) for a particular person?

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
If you have prostrate gland enlargement, frequent urination at night (included)...take R-25 of Reckeweg.

Struggling to find a suitable single remedy might take you time resulting in further aggravation of your condition.

A patient generally has bruised feeling due to the prostate problems. Arnica 30c in the wet dose is giving good results in such conditions.

Glad to note that others too have finally discovered the efficacy of Arnica 30 for problems associated with the Prostate which I discovered in 1996 and which is not listed in the Repertories and MM's used in Classical Homeopathy.

It is essential that the patient is instructed on the protocol to make the Wet dose which is listed below:

Order the remedy in a 5ml Ethanol pack also referred to as Liquid Dilution in a bottle preferably with a dropper arrangement.
Get a 500ml bottle of Spring Water from the nearest supermarket.
Pour out about 3cm of water from the bottle to leave some airspace.
Insert 3 drops of the remedy into the bottle and shake the bottle hard before you sip a capfull which is the dose.
Shaking the bottle hard is homeopathic succussion and this shaking must be done every time before sipping a capful of the bottle which can be used as a dose.

To Kadwa

Thank you for the reference to Arnica in Boericke which I was not aware of up to today.

I note that you have stated:

'Re: How to select a proper Prostate Remedy?
From kadwa on 2010-05-14
A patient generally has bruised feeling due to the prostate problems. Arnica 30c in the wet dose is giving good results in such conditions.'

You will note that there is no reference in Boericke to the POTENCY of Arnica and the WET DOSE which is a term that I coined after I was first introduced to this form of therapy by Dr Luc de Schepper one of the doyens of Homeopathy today, who was with us in Sri Lanka in 2005 to care for the survivors of our Tsunami. At that time the Wet dose was unknown in Homeopathy and I coined this term 'Wet Dose' in consultation with him.

There was only a reference to the 'Split Dose' In the Fifth Edition which is different from the Wet dose I use exclusively today which is an extension of the Wet dose which I note is now being more widely used by Homeopaths in place of the little globules or pellets we used in the old days and is even today in use by Homeopaths who have not converted to the Wet dose. All who used it have discovered that it is far more effective as it involves succussing the remedy every time before sipping a capful of the bottle which is the secret of its efficacy as each time it is succussed it increases the potency of the remedy by a fraction and it thereby helps to cure the patient better than the dry pellets.

Another matter I would like to discuss here is the listing of the numerous remedies in Boericke which I copy below:

PROSTATE GLAND -- Æsc., Aloe, Baros., Caust., Ferr. picr., Hep., Hydrang., Iod., Kali iod., Melast., Merc. s., Pareira, Phyt., Pichi, Picr. ac., Pop. tr., Sabal, Solid., Staph., Sul. iod., Thuya, Turnera.

Congestion -- Acon., Aloe, Arn., Bell., Canth., Con., Cop., Cub., Ferr. p., Gels., Kali Br., Kali iod., Lith. c., Ol. sant., Puls., Sabal, Thuya.

You will note that Boericke does not make any reference as usual, to the potency of any remedy for an ailment and it is the Homeopath who does so. As far as I am aware, I have never read a prescription from any Homeopath on this and other Forums on the use of Arnica 30c in the Wet dose for Prostate ailments and you may like to know that it was I that made this discovery in 1995 when I was suffering from BPH and was having some difficulty in passing urine. I was using Conium and Sabal Serrulata for this problem but discovered that Arnica was far more effective and changed over to it immediately. As is my usual practice, I recorded this discovery on this and other Homeopathic Forums that I visit.

Please note that I did not intend to belittle your use of Arnica in the Wet dose for BPH as to me Homeopathy is the fulfilling of a life long urge to heal which I do free of charge, and I am glad when others too use the therapies in the same manner that I have discovered.

I have made some significant discoveries as you are probably aware of using Arnica 6c in the Wet dose for the reduction of Blood Sugar in Diabetics and Nat Phos 6x for the reduction of Obesity. As far as I am aware , these 2 remedies are not listed in Boericke or any other MM or Repertory for these 2 ailments.

If you do discover any precedent to what I boldly call 'Joepathy' for the above 2 ailments as I was the first to discover them, I shall be grateful if you will please enlighten me.

I would like to invite you to visit the link below for more information on my research on Arnica entitled:

The following has been written by me months ago at the thread http://www.abchomeopathy.com/forum2.php/184566/

It is very surprising that Boericke lists many remedies for diabetes in his repertory.

REPERTORY
by Oscar E. BOERICKE, M.D.
Presented by Médi-T

URINARY SYSTEM



DIABETES, Sugar -- Acet. ac., Adren., Am. acet., Arg. m., Arg. n., Aristol., Arn., Ars. br., Ars. iod., Ars., Asclep. vinc., Aur., Aur. mur., Bell., Bor. ac., Bov., Bry., Caps., Carb. ac., Ceanoth., Cham., Chel., Chimaph., Chionanth., Coca., Cod., Colch., Crot., Cupr. ars., Cur., Eup. purp., Fel tauri, Ferr. iod., Ferr. mur., Fluor. ac., Glon., Glycerin, grind., Helleb., Helon., Iod., Iris, Kali Acet., Kali br., Kreos., Lach., Lact. ac., Lecith., Lycop., Lyc., Lyssin, Morph., Mosch., Murex, Nat. m., Nat. s., Nit. ac., Nux v., Op., Pancreat., Phaseol., Phos. ac., Phos., Phlorid., Picr. ac., Plumb. iod., Plumb., Pod., Rhus ar., Scilla, Sec., Sil., Sizyg., Strych. ars., Sul., Tar. h., Tarax., Tereb., Uran. n., Urea, Vanad.

It is interesting to note that he is giving these remedies under Urinary Sytem, so one is not sure whether he is talking about blood sugar also.

Again he gives remedies for diabetes classified on the basis of it's cause

Assimilative disorders -- Uran n.
Gastrohepatic origin -- Ars. iod., Ars., Bry., Calc. c., Cham., Chel., Kreos., Lact. ac., Lept., Lyc., Nux v., Uran n.
Nervous origin -- Ars., Aur. mur., Calc. c., Ign., Phos. ac., Strych. ars.
Pancreatic origin -- Iris., Pancreat., Phos.

Boericke gives another list for remedies for diabetes on the basis of concomitants
Debility [with] -- Acet. ac., Op.
Gangrene, boils, carbuncles, diarrhœa [with] -- Ars.
Gouty symptoms [with] -- Lact. ac., Nat. s.
Impotency [with] -- Coca, Mosch.
Melancholia, emaciation, thirst, restlessness [with] -- Helon.
Motor paralysis [with] -- Cur.
Rapid course [with] -- Cur., Morph.
Ulceration [with] -- Sizyg.

You can see that Dr. Joe Livera's wonderful remedy arn also appears in the above list. Therefore one should not be surprised that people coming to forum are reporting success with it's use.

Dear doctors,
Thanks you all. Is the Arnica can be used as a common and safe remedy for all prostate patients? Is it necessary to give wet dose, or normal 30C liquid dose also helpful? If any patient take Arnica-30 one dose per 2 hours for minor pain or slight inflammation, have any chance of aggravation? If prostate trouble happened by any other remedy, will the Arnica able to recover, or need to take antidote first?

If prostate trouble happened by any other remedy, will the Arnica able to recover, or need to take antidote first?
**It is better to take an antidote here. There won't be any need for any other remedy.

If any patient take Arnica-30 one dose per 2 hours for minor pain or slight inflammation, have any chance of aggravation?
**No.

Is it necessary to give wet dose, or normal 30C liquid dose also helpful?
**Wet dose or split dose is better and it is more economical. If somehow it is not possible to take the wet dose 2 pill dose may be tried.

Is the Arnica can be used as a common and safe remedy for all prostate patients?
**Yes. There won't be any harm. If there is any aggravation or proving due the remedy, the remedy should be stopped.

Dear Dr. Kadwa,
Thanks for your reply. Can you please tell me about the antidote of Phosphorus?

2 pill is equivalent to 2 liquid drops, right?
 
sadeqahmed last decade
coff
calc
mezereum
nux
sepia
tereb

these remedies antidote phos.

One may take a single dose of Nux Vomica 200c and see whether it could antidote the prostate effects of Phos over-dosing.

2 pill is equivalent to 2 liquid drops, right?
**You may medicate 1 dram globules with 2 drops of dilution and take 2 pills as one dose.
