POTS (Postural Tachycardia Syndrome) and Homeopathy Study: Interim report March 2018

POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) is an illness which is currently poorly resolved with conventional medicine but little is known about whether homeopathy can provide a chink of light. Last year I worked with a young woman called Mandy whose health improved dramatically after just 2 appointments. (You can read about POTS and Mandy's story at http://bit.ly/2zB0iXR). This has inspired me to help others with the same Syndrome.

Earlier this year I began a POTS and Homeopathy Study to learn more about POTS and see which factors in a case make it more or less likely to heal with homeopathy and what we can do about it. 12 candidates in all have joined the places on the study, free of charge, and all are at various stages of progress. It's early days but the results so far are encouraging. Here's just a sample. (All personal details have been removed).

Patient 2: This lovely young woman struggles to maintain a normal family life around her various diagnoses of POTS, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Type III, Lyme, Mycoplasma Pneumonia, CFS and suspected MCAS. Her main complaint at the start of the study was chronic longstanding depression about her health - hardly surprising given her long list of diagnoses. What also troubled her was terrible brain fog so bad she couldn't even remember what she'd just read, as well as a suffocating breathlessness, palpitations and dizziness upon standing. She could only stand for 5 minutes before she had to sit down but even then she'd feel dizzy. She had given up driving because of this. She also suffered from daily chills with her whole body shaking in rigors for an hour or more in the evenings. Her stomach symptoms and gastroparesis made her nauseous on eating and she also had constipation.

Progress report: After one month on the remedy Sulphur: * She can now stand for up to 15 minutes without POTS symptoms. * While still feeling low, she says she can now feel a glimmer of her old self coming back. * This last weekend she read a book from cover to cover. * Nausea after eating has halved. * Her sensitivity to noise has halved * She was able to eat a slice of bread without an allergic reaction * Dizziness while sitting has also improved enough for her to drive the car. * Her chills are much better. She's had just one that lasted a mere five minutes. * Her constipation is 100% better.

Patient 3: This lady has POTS, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and Chiari Malformation and extreme fatigue. For the most part she is housebound. Her gastric symptoms have been so bad that she now has a tubal feed as eating via her mouth and stomach cause intolerable acidity and burning. She also has severe constipation, daily headaches and hot sweaty flushes every time she stands up. Given her low level of vitality, we would expect a very slow response to the remedies but after one month on a low dose of the remedy Sepia she reports: "My constipation is still improving! I am going every other day now. I'm also having less flushes, it's only happening a couple of times a day. And I'm sure I'm having less headaches!"
