Inflammatory glaucoma 02799...UK
When a 62-year-old woman came to see the practitioner, she had been experiencing some pressure in her right eye and also blurred vision since June 2017. Two months later, she was diagnosed with inflammatory glaucoma (caused by ocular inflammation) and treated with eye drops and oral steroids (it is necessary even though it can cause increased intraocular pressure), followed by surgery on 22 October 2017; as a result, the right eye was now normal. Unfortunately, within a week she developed the same symptoms in her left eye and the diagnosis was glaucoma, likely caused by inflammation again. The doctor again prescribed eye drops and oral steroids to control inflammation to prepare for subsequent surgery. The patient started on eye drops but decided not to take steroids or have surgery.
She was not taking any other allopathic medication when she was given the following remedies on 22 December 2017:
For glaucoma:
#1. CC4.2 Liver & Gallbladder tonic + CC7.1 Eye tonic + CC7.3 Eye infections + CC7.4 Eye defects + CC7.5 Glaucoma + CC10.1 Emergencies + CC13.1 Kidney & Bladder + CC15.1 Mental & Emotional…QDS
For inflammation:
#2. Prednisolone nosode…QDS
After two weeks there was 50% improvement in the pressure and blurred vision. Two months later in a review at the hospital on 3 March 2018, the doctors found the pressure in her left eye to be within the normal range. She did not need surgery but was advised to have an annual review. So the patient informed the practitioner that she was free of all symptoms and improvement in her left eye was 100%. The dosage of both #1 and #2 was reduced to TDS. When seen on 8 September 2018, patient's eyes looked healthy and normal. Dosage of both #1 and #2 was reduced to BD. Patient was keen to continue taking them long term as she seems to have a tendency to develop inflammation leading to glaucoma.
Editor's note: This practitioner has added too many combos to #1 eg, CC4.2, CC7.4, CC10.1 and CC13.1 were not needed; although the treatment was successful, it took two months. Whereas in an earlier case (news Mar-Apr 2018 vol 9 issue 2) of Glaucoma treated with the relevant combos, without the addition of the extra combos, the treatment was successful after one month. This is a good example of when giving only combos applicable to the disease or symptoms, the healing is faster.
