Suggest Homeopathic Remedies For Cholesteatoma
Question: Are there homeopathic remedies that can
be taken to heal a cholesteatoma or manage
it without it progressing? If so, which ones
and their potency. How long should they be
taken?
Alternatively to homeopathy, is there a natural way to manage
or heal cholesteatoma without invasive surgery. Microsuction
made things worse.
Thank you.

Brief Answer:
Details are required
Detailed Answer:
Hello
I appreciate your interest in homeopathy.
Homeopathy is very effective and cures completely without spreading of infection in case of cholesteatoma but that requires complete case study. Then on the basis of symptom and severity of case I can suggest next step of treatment.
Please answer on the following queries:
1 Any history of disease? Since how long you are suffering
2 type of pain, radiation of pain?
3 type of discharge? Pus,thick watery, smelly etc
4 symptoms like Dizziness, pressure, weakness of face , wheezing sound in ear etc
5 Any treatment taken?
6 type of lesion? Cause of lesion? Size of cyst? Spreading of infection?
7 test reports if any?
8 % loss of hearing?
9 others
Homeopathy has good response in initial case of infection but if infection spreads surgical intervention is required for prompt relief. That will be decided after review of case.
Hope this is clear to you
In case of any query feel free to ask
Thanks

Thank you very much for your reply.
It will take me awhile to gather this information for
you due to the time difference here where I live and P/T work
constraints. I assure you I will :)
I shall send current 2014 MRI and CT.
Briefly, I learned six months ago about the c-toma but there had been an
indication to followup on a 2011 MRI due to the MRI findings. However, the
doctor who ordered the MRI did not. I was unaware of importance. I have had
numerous earaches and associated antibiotics as a
child. Since learning of the c-toma, I was initially
on a two week round of Ciprodex ear drops this summer for infection. I
have been diligent to keep the ear dry since then
and have been responsible to support the
immune function with supplements. There has
been no discharge since then. However, there are symptoms.
No allopathic meds taken over the years other than this med above.
More later as I gather your needed data. It will take me awhile to
do this.
With sincere appreciation,
Have a nice day.
P.S. Did not learn of these important delayed diagnoses until later in life
i.e. Chiari I Malformation, Cholesteatoma.

I cannot send you rest of information
you request until next couple of days as I work
P/T today. Would your suggestions as to
remedies be applicable for symptoms of:
fatique, ringing in ears, sometimes blocked
ears, ear wax not coming out, brain fog
sometimes, sometimes pressure in ears.
Would feel more if you suggested remedies
after I send above information.
Hearing has improved after taking
current supplements in past two days.
One doctor said it had not gone "to the
bones" yet.

Dr. Ratnesh,
Thank you very much for your reply.
Will the above remedies help with intermittent dizziness and balances
issues? Also, can I continue to take the new supplements that
are now working:manganese, zinc and ester-C with bioflavonoids at
different times of day of the homeopathic remedies?
Will drinking coffee be contraindicated? Are there any other
contraindications to foods, etc. that will interfere with the remedies.
I shall send you copies of the MRI, CT temporal bone, etc. in
next day or two.
I believe, despite my age, healing is possible as I have not
taken meds or had surgeries since these health challenges began
30 years ago.
Many thanks for your help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello
Once infection is cured dizziness will be cured itself. Actully dizziness is accessory symptom which is along with your main complain so if we treat root cause all other complain will be solved automatically.
Regarding your medicine you can take medicine along with homoeopathic medicine there is no harm. But there should be some time difference between the medicine.
Coffee, smoking , alcohol should be avoided. Do not eat anything 1 hour after the medication.
Medicine is to be taken with clean mouth.
There is no any big dietary precaution.
Its good news that infection is not deep rooted so it can be cure and as you mentioned the lesion is not mal medicated so there are good chance for early healing.
Hope this clear your doubt.

Dr. Ratnesh,
I have several more pages to send you and
will do so later today. Will order the homeopathic
remedies as you suggested.
In speaking directly to Boiron a few months ago
and indirectly to a pharmacist there they said there
is no homeopathic healing of cholesteatoma available. I
have seen references in my long research of homeopathic
treating symptoms only. Can you provide me
with credible data you or other case studies or
homeopathic doctors have accomplished this.
Also is it possible to heal the retracted eardrums homeopathically?
Again, references to research data, clinical
studies, websites would be really appreciated.
I certainly understand a proving is required to
heal and a discharge likely. Allopathic medicine
states to keep the ear dry. Will the discharge
come out despite the eardrum being retracted.
Will the wetness in the ear be contraindicated with
your suggested treatment.
Thank you sincerely for your help and patience!

Hello,
Homeopathy offers palliative treatment in some cases. Homeopathy is based on symptom similarity and medicine are based on the symptom. Cholesteatoma is surgical condition and surgery is preferable but it doesn't mean that medicine is not effective.
Also want to share with you that the success rate is not 100% and there are some chance of failure also and I am not claiming that only this medicine will completely cure your problem but (As I have already mentioned you have to choose the mode of treatment.)
I am providing some link for your reference to know that people are benefited by homeopathy in cholesteatoma or similar disease
http://abchomeopathy.com/forum2.php/417379/
Selection medicine may be different as per case and other findings.
Wetness is a big issue and even I was concerned about that but it is very crucial part of treatment. Discharge may lead to some complications. You are advised to consider the suggestion provided by your ENT specialist, while taking the medicine also discuss the same in case of discharge what measures can be taken.
Hope this is clear to you

If I were in XXXXXXX and close to you and Dr. Siddiqh
I would consider it so he could monitor and suction out.
Having experience with homeopathy many
years ago, I can appreciate the "proving" or
healing reaction as you call it. But now the
circumstances are much different with regards
to the c-toma.
Thank you again for your consideration. Can we
leave the door open should I change my mind
in the future?
