Teenager w/ headaches/allergy/insomnia
I have taken my daughter to many doctors. She has several conditions. I am hoping that someone can help her.She is 15 years old.
Main symptoms:
-headaches (last few hours to 5+ days) located all over but mostly across the top from ear to ear. No pain releaver helps (headache often makes her sensitive to light and noise)
-insomnia trouble falling asleep and staying asleep. (chamomile helps fall asleep- but not stay asleep)
-hot sweats at night.(improved when sleeping in
-allergies (seasonal, animals, mold, foods?) (responds only with Zyrtec)
-trouble digesting meats like beef, pork, some chicken. (use of papya enzymes helps some)
-chemical sensitivites (Chlorine, formaldehyde, natural gas, gasoline)
-hair loss (lost quite a bit about a year ago just after a stressful experienc. still losing more than normal)
-grouchy disposition (difficult handling everyday stress - is angry or cries easily.)
-bad cramps with monthly cycle (treat with naproxin)
-sunlight hurts her skin.(tried to treat with niacin)
-skin is more sensitive to pain than normal
-other headaches come when there are cloudy skys
-frontal sinus headaches with allergies (helped by using Sudaphed:needs 1.5x normal dosage)
-craves salt (we use sea salt for food so that trace minerals are available.
When she feels well, my daughter is a gentle, sweet, person who cares about others. She is creative, designs here own clothing at 15! But her headaches and frequent illness caused her to miss 2.5 months of school last year.
and she is often mean and grouchy to her 2 siblings.
From the time she was 5 years old, she began to have discomfort and pain in her abdomen - she said it felt like a 'spider biting' her. This was intermittent.
At 9 her abdominal pain got worse, allergies, asthma and headaches increased and began to have insomnia. Alternative doctor treated her for candida with some success.(colostrum and no sugar diet) At this time we lived in a house that we all developed asthma in. (we suspect mold) During this time she was under large amounts of stress. She began having nightmares.
We discovered the source of this stress only last year! And its source has been dealt with. It was a very difficult year. More stress. She became depressed. We have tried to get her counseling, but she does not want to cooperate. (2 counselors in 9 months)
We have seen many doctors, as she gets ill more frequently that others. None have had a solution. We know she needs sleep to heal, but this is very difficult for her. One chiroprator analyzed her and said that her body is functioning like a MUCH older persons. He said that her body is not absorbing nutrients from her food correctly. He gave her several food supplements, but she doesn't like taking SO many pills (up to 18+ a day). Plus, they made her very thirsty. He found that her muscles are tight all through her neck, up over the back of her skull and into her temples. Massage helped some.
A counselor tried her on anti-depressants, these only made her syptoms worse, so we stopped after 9 days. Other supplements helps we have tried: 5-htp,(depression, sleep) DLPA (pain), niacin (skin/sun prob), B-vit complex (depression, mouthsores, stress). She is a difficult teenager who doesn't like to take pills. She isn't convinced that they will help her (she has been ill off and on for a long time.) She is losing hope.
We recently discovered that we had a natural gas leak in our home (about 3 years of leakage) can this contribute to poor health? She has not been able to be in kitchen when oven is in use, even after the leak was repaired.
Stress is definitely a problem. She doesn't manage it well, and it makes her sicker. The sicker she is, the more she is stressed. It is a horrible cycle. I want the help her heal. and have tried so many ways. Can anyone help her? Please.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
It is possible that your 15 year old daughter is suffering from an overdose of pills of which you state she takes 18 per day.
I believe that there is a possibility of helping her with a few Homeopathic remedies but this will require cutting out all pills including drugs and vitamins etc which she may be taking today.
If you are agreeable to use the therapy that I can indicate for 2 weeks without all the pills, I shall be glad to advise you.

Thank you for replying Joe. No not an averdose. We started taking the food supplements after she got so sick last year. They were mostly concentrated foods (of you are familiar with the Standard Process product developed by Dr. Royal Lee).
She only took these food supplements for about 2 months. Any other medication, pain relievers etc, she only takes 'as needed'-like for cramps with her period. No pain releivers help for her long lasting headaches.
Now she only takes DLPA (DL-Phenylalnine) about 3x a week. It is an amino acid that helps people with chronic pain or low pain thresholds. She was feeling very poorly yesterday, and she took one Zyrtec-and felt a bit better in an hour. The allergens in our city have been very high for 2-3 weeks.
She has much stress, and insomnia is making it worse. This is weakening her immunne system...which causes more stress. Can you help break the cycle?

Dr. Joe,
I am very willing to try what you prescribe for her. I have been reading your threads on this site for about a week, and I can see that you have the skills to heal. I was hoping that you would reply to my request. Thank you.

You are quite correct about my use of the word 'overdose' which should have read as SURFEIT of pills at 18 pills daily.
I would like you to STOP all tablets and other medicine that you are now giving her. No coffee, cola drinks, sausages, ham, bacon. Drink plenty of liquids meaning water, fruit juice, tea but no canned beverages.
Her remedies are as follows:
STOP ALL DRUGS.
Take the following remedies
Nux Vomica 200 --- To detoxify her system. Dose: 6 pellets to be taken in just ONE dose sublingually.
This will be taken on Day 1 when no other remedies will be used.
The following remedies to be taken on Day 2 onwards on a daily basis.
Arnica 30c --- For her Headaches, Insomnia, Hair Loss, Skin conditions. Dose 1 teaspoonful taken 3 times daily
Nat Phos 6x --- To help with her digestion. Dose: 3 tablets taken after 3 meals daily.
Arnica 30c is taken in the wet dose which is made by inserting 3 pellets of this remedy into a 500ml bottle of spring water which is succussed (shaken hard) every time before a teaspoonful which is a dose, is sipped 3 times daily.
Arnica 30c should help her to overcome her headache and will correct her insomnia. The last dose to be taken just before sleep. No stimulants like tea and of course coca cola and other beverages to be taken after 4.00PM.
Nat Phos 6x will help to correct the imbalance of lactic acid in her system and should help her digestion.
I shall treat her other ailments like Asthma, Cramps, Candida later as I prefer to first detoxify her system and then let the Arnica and Nat Phos help her body to recover from the ravages of the multitude of pills she has taken throughout her life.
Exercise is essential and she must be involved in some form which will make her sweat it out for at least half hour.
Please ensure that your daughter (I do not even know her name) reports her response to this therapy on a daily basis.
You may like to know that I was successful in helping a similar case of a person who was 70 years who was a Phd Cambridge who was taking 25 tablets daily of various drugs, minerals, vitamins etc all of which turned him to a person best described as a zombie. At the beginning of the therapy he was only able to shuffle when walking, took about an hour to eat a meal and would only speak in short phrases all due to the effects of the drugs that he was taking on medical advice. I stopped all his drugs and started him on Homeopathy and he was back to normal in about 2 weeks when the difference was very noticeable as he would wolf his food down and was able to jog. Unfortunately he passed away a few months later due to an accident when he suffered severe burns on his skin.

hi Piranhica, I just joined this forum to seek help for myself, ive had such a bad bout with root canals. Does your daughter have any? If she does Id strongly adivse to have it/them removed. I had mine for 22 years and had headaches, neck problems and digestive problems ever since they were put in. Ive done alot of research on root canals so if you need more info Id be happy to supply.

Thank you Brad,
no root canals. but you had mercury fillings in any of those teeth, that may explain your condition. If this is true, consider chelation therapy to remove it. Root canals push the poison of infection or the filling material into your system (the teeth lie close to the lymph glands) and it can poison the whole body. Cancer pioneer Dr. Issels researched this thouroughly.

Thank you Dr Joe.
I will buy the treatments today.
My daughter's name is Rachel. I have tried to keep her away from lots of medication, and have tried looked to 'natural' cures and supplements.
When you say 'no canned beverages' I know you mean soda and sweetened drinks (I always limit this). Is frozen or bottled juice considered 'canned'? Should she only have fresh juice? (we have a juicer.)
My son was very sick also, for 3 years. We discovered a natural gas leak in our home. Since it has been fixed, he has improved, she has only improved a little. Rachel was sensitive to natural gas before the leak. It may only explain 1 reason why she got worse in the last few years (in addition to her other stressors.) In America, the natural gas is mixed with an odorant that, in high doses, is toxic (contains formaldehyde+other chemicals). Will the Nux Vomica detox these also? Can I use it on my son?
I went through a bout of being very sick in college too. My immune system took a big hit- smogy city, chlorine over-exposure and, of course, much College Stress. Four allopaths couldn't figure my problem out. It was a natural Dr./homeopath that cured me. I don't think he used homeopathics, that I know of, mostly orthomolecular and allergic food avoidance. Could that Chlorine still have been in my system when I was pregnant with my daughter 2 years later? Could it have affected her immune system as she developed? All 3 of my children are sensitive to chloine and allergic like myself.

hey Piranhica, Ill check out Dr. Issels work ty very much for that. But the posts in my root canals dont contain any murcury. That doesnt rule out other metals which were in my root canals that could cause electrical disruptions and poisoning. As I found out murcury isnt the only bad boy when it comes to the dental profession =
I think I should start a string for this topic root canals = sickness in alot of people.
Btw was your daughter breat fed? Not being breast fed and exposure to other disease factors such as the fungus you mentioned could combine to create her symptoms? (I dont know Im speculating)
Brad
ps I will try out chelation everyone has murcury in their bodies, it would definately help. But right now Im doing hyperbaric chamber to revascularize any gangrenous tissue caused by anaerobic pathogens/ischemia.

I would not object to bottle fruit juice as long as there are no preservatives in them as they too can add to the problem. Fresh fruit juice is preferred by far.
Pity about the gas leak but since this has been fixed I do not think that it can cause any permanent problem after. Nux V 200 is not indicated for your son unless you wish to give him some Homeopathic treatment.
Your history is also of interest but I doubt that any residual chlorine could have been carried over after 2 years to affect Rachel.

Ontario Guy,
Thank you, yes, I breast fed her for 14mos. - a long time for most American babies. :) High levels of stress seem to be our worst enemy. Harms the immune system.
Chelation is indicated for gangrene too! Make sure you have a Dr. that is well trained in the process (don't take it via the internet your first go-around)I have seen it cure gangrene in an 85 yr old woman! (saved her leg) Hyperbaric is excellent for gangrene also. It worked for a friend of mine on a surgery wound that would not heal.
I hope you the best, and pray you will heal.

Hey again Piranhica,
Thats interesting, I didnt know that chelation helps with gangrene too. I guess it improves circulation that much that it helps gangrene?
There are some doc's here who do it but of course they have to keep it quiet out of fear of losing their medical licence.
Ill definately go when I get enough $. As it is hyperbaric is 100$ per hour 6 times a week. But it is definately on my hit list.
Thanks again for the info. Take care

Dr. Joe,
I appologize for taking so long to respond. It took some time for us to find the Nux Vom in a 200c dose. I ordered it, but it was delayed.
In the mean time, we tried your solution for insomnia: arnica. It helped
Rachel for 3 nights and then quit working so she discontinued it and waited for tne Nux Vom to arrive.
We received the Nux Vom200c and I gave my daughter the dose 4 days ago. The next day she had tenderness in her lymph glands (at the neck). I assume this is part of the detoxification process, is that correct? The next day, we started her on the Arnica as instructed and we have seen improvements! Headache gone, she was having menstral cramps and they went away too. By the eve of the 3rd day, she had more energy than usual(even with climate conditions that usually make her feel ill-smoke from nearby forest fires). She is so excited about the results.
That evening she met up with friends, and had caffinated soda (she forgot to avoid this) and dessert. She had diffulty sleeping that night and the next day (today) her headache was back. By evening she had a 101° temp, and a sore throat.
We will continue with the Arnica 3x a day unless you suggest otherwise. I realize that it is difficult to control what a teenager eats, but I will be more careful to remind her to abstain from canned drinks with caffine and sugar. I chocolate bad too?
Thank you so much for your help.

I am glad to note that one dose of Nux V 200 followed by the other therapy was able to stabilize your daughter's problem. I was sorry to note that just one caffeinated soda brought her to square one and her headache is back.
At 15 years your daughter is old enough to look after herself and I am wondering if you have been overprotective of her up to now which may be the reason why she still depends on you to 'remind' her not to take this and do that.
Pardon my mentioning it but it is time that a 15 year old learns to look after herself especially since I presume you live in the US.

I understand what you are saying about a teenager being able to watch herself.
I also know that she is affected by chronic insomnia, environmental allergies, and migranes. Any one of these problems can throw the mind off track. She has times when she is feeling badly that she can't form sentances and speak clearly, not to mention being absent minded.
Just to be clear, the desserts were coupled with several allergy exposures that night and insomnia too.
Maybe I do protect her a bit too much, but I know she has been fighting her health problems a long time. She is still ill this morning. Another bad night of sleep + sore throat.

Start giving her Bio-chemic combination No 12 meant for Headaches.
Will see how she responds to it...then can followup with other med(s).

So far, my daughter has had some health improvements and is continuing to take remedy as directed- though she has missed a few doses. She has less cramps, less insomnia - still has occasional nightmares- there have been good results except for the headaches.
Her Migranes have been bad - slightly more severe than before I first contacted you, and have lasted 3-4 days.
She has pushed through it and gone to school, but it is difficult.
Symptoms: pain on one side of head, sensitivity to light, noise sensitivity, some allergy symptoms. The migrane started when the air was polluted for about 9 days with smoke from a large forest fire. (the longest burn in the history of CA). Though the fire was 200+ miles away, our city was hazy from the smoke. She is very sensitive to chemicals and smoke.
Can you please help her with the migranes?
I have not tried the Bio chemic No12. Dr. DeLivera, can these be taken with your remedies?

If as you state, her problem today is only her Migraines which you state are due to sensitivity to light, her remedy is Glonoine 30c. Dose 3 pellets taken sublingually as early as possible when she first notices the signs of a migraine coming on. This usually aborts the migraine in a few minutes.
The smokey haze your city is suffering from a fire 200 miles away can also be a causative factor but there is nothing you can do about it unfortunately.
I cannot comment on the No 12 remedy as I have no experience in its use.

Dear Piranhica, just observing the thread, and to confirm: Most of your daughters symptoms have 'improved', but since you began the above therapy, her migraines have become worse, is this correct?

Dr. Joe thank you for the reply.
Just to clarify, the headaches are not caused by light sensitivity, this is one symptom. My assesment is that the headaches are caused by allergy/chemical sensitivity - polluted air, pollens, and other chemicals (sensitive to natural gas from stove). would Glonoine 30c still be the remedy?
Jacob-she has suffered with migranes for a long time (since a child). My referrence to getting worse was relative to the recent headaches increasing. They have been this bad in the past. Her first two weeks on the remedy showed improvement in the headaches. I am prone to believe that it is the pollutants more than the remedies that are causing the problem because everyone in the family had bad reactions to the smoke in the air. When I try to cook with the gas stove, she has immediate reactions (weeping, disorientation, nausea). She is very chemically sensitive. Plus, the Fall pollens are starting in our area-she has allergies to these too. This is my assesment of what may be triggering the headaches.

Bryonia 30c is my default remedy for Headaches and Migraine and if as you state her headaches are not tiggered by exposure to bright light you may use it and observe her response. You can start her off on 2 pellets just before sleep and report if she still gets her headaches the morning after.
If she is taking the Arnica 30c as prescribed last week, how did her insomnia respond ?

She reports that her sleep has improved as long as she remembers her dose. If she slacks off on her dosage, the insomnia returns.
This brings up a question, do homeopathic remedies work more like a treatment or like a cure? I know that some conditions are incurable, but in general I am wondering if these remedies are helpful only to manage symptoms or do they work to cure the cause of a condition?
How long do you think my daughter will need to take arnica for sleep? Do you think she might return to naturally sleeping on her own?
