Preeclampsia - please help before it's too late!
My friend is in a hospital with preeclampsia and they are threating her with a c-section in few days, because she is getting worse every day. She is only 28 weeks pregnant though!! She has very hight amount of protein in her urine and very high blood pressure.Is there ANYTHING she could take to possible make it better? Is there still a chance for her?
I found that Lachesis is for protein in urine and swolen extremities, water retention and such, but I would not feel safe giving her anything unless I have to confirmed!
Please help her!

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
take my advice and consult a professional homeopath on this immediatley. time is too critical and you need a real professional to get it right quickly. tell your friend to spend the money on a consult. if she can just make 4 more weeks that would be a huge difference for the baby. i had preeclampsia twice. but i made it to 34 and 35 weeks. i remeber reading about lachesis AFTER (of course) and wishing i would have tried it during but i would still check with a professional.
but in the mean time..
the biochemic salts mag phos, calc phos, and and kali phos in 6x potencies should help "calm" down her system. her nervous system is way way overstimulated right now. i would take the 6x potency and put 5 tabs of each in hot water, sip the glass frequently holding it under the tongue about 1 minute each time. repeat every three hours. the biochemic salts will not harm the mom or baby in any way whereas other remedies can do potential harm if not the correct remedy.
there is a theory that the inablility to digest and assimilate protein properly is part of the problem. although from a chinese medicine perspective it is usually either a liver issue, weak kidenys or poor digestion. so she may want to take enzymes as well. they will serve two purposes, anti inflammatories and improving digestion and nutritional status. even if she does deliver the enzymes will help improve her nutrition and milk supply for the baby.
tell her if she gets pregnant again to go to an acupuncturist that is comfortable prescribing herbs to a pregnant woman. that was the only way i made it to 35 weeks the second time. i was starting to go downhill at 22 weeks...i wouldn't have made it past 26 weeks without acupuncture and herbs.
and make sure no one aggravates her or upsets her in any way. it only makes her situation worse. good luck!!

Thank you for your advice. Unfortunately she is having a c-section done in about an hour :o(
I hope the baby will be ok and her too.
She is very poor and she could never afford any holistic treatment anyway. I did my best to help her, providing all kinds of help for her, but she does not believe anything works for her anyway. She thinks it's her destiny to go trough that.
thank you again,
Pavlina
