Answers:
SkepDoc, are you just provoking or you do believe your own rubbish.

The benefits of Paracetamol (acetaminophen) and Diclofenac does not outweigh the damage done to cardiac, hepatic, renal and gastrointestinal organs in human.

Paracetamol is derived from Coal tar a brown or black liquid of high viscosity, which smells of naphthalene and aromatic hydrocarbons. Coal tar is among the by-products when coal is carbonized to make coke or gasified to make coal gas. Being flammable, coal tar is sometimes used for heating or to fire boilers.

Is this what you recommending to your patients.?

Paracetamol hepatotoxicity is, by far, the most common cause of acute liver failure in both the United States and the United Kingdom.

Use of Diclofenac in animals has been reported to lead to a sharp decline in the vulture population in the Indian subcontinent, 95% decline in 2004, 99.9% decline as of 2008. The mechanism is probably renal failure, a known side effect of Diclofenac. Vultures eat the carcasses of domesticated animals that have been administered veterinary Diclofenac, and are poisoned by the accumulated chemical.

Diclofenac was shown also to cause harm to freshwater fish species as rainbow trout.

Really nice and healthy stuff!

I will rather stick to the natural Arnica supplement.

How about you.?
Health Question & Answer

I arnica is great for bruising - if the pain is deeper, you need more specific remedy given by a classical homeopath.
otherwise, you can use other combination products such as traumeel ointment. Professionals may have traumeel in water or injection.
Traumeel is made by a German company Heel which creates very high quality products meeting FDA requirement.

As to healing, consider energy healing (reiki), epsen salt baths or juniper salt baths (made by another German company Kneipp), or try high dose of zyflammend (made by New Chapter) - a lot of this should be available in your trusty healthfood store. Health Question & Answer

Your GF is doing the right thing for you. Arnica is very helpful in the kind of sports injuries you have had. I would personally prefer 30C to 6C potency. For recent injuries 30C is a better option and for old injuries 200C is a better option. Since the injury is to the ligaments, you may need Ledum Palustrum in 30C potency which is complementary to Arnica. If there is any nerves involved, you may also need Hypericum 30C also. If there are bruises to the bones, or breakage Ruta G and Symphytum may also be required. Normally a maximum of three doses in 3 globules each dose is all that would be necessary to correct the problems. Sometimes prolonged treatment may be required. Consulting a homeopath before administering the medicines is the right approach as he would be in a better position to know what exactly you require. Arnica is a miracle medicine in homeo which can do wonders in healing.

with best wishes.

Health Question & Answer

I would have prescribed a higher potency of Arnica for your injury.
However if you put a couple of the remedies in a bottle of water and shake it vigorously before each dose - this will increase the potency.
Take a good mouthful every couple of hours - stop once there is improvement and reastart only if the original unchanged symptoms return.
Ruta is another remedy to think of in ligament injuries too.Health Question & Answer

no one here but a homeopath could tell you that. Even if they did, they'd have to examine you. Homeopathy is a very complex thing & depends on alot of symptoms. All homeopathic remedies promote healing in the body, but you have to have the right dose, at the right time & for the right ailment.Health Question & Answer

arnica is a homeopathic remedy that is good for injury and bruising, would recommend as it has always worked for meHealth Question & Answer

acetominophen is good for the pain. Diclofenac is good for the pain and inflammation.

Glucosamine is useless in the acute phase, and pretty much useless even for long term treatment. Lots of good studies have failed to show it does anything,.

Arnica also does nothing, especially when diluted to 1 part in 1 trillion (a 6C dilution) It is a completely useless placebo treatment. There is no evidence that it speeds healing of any sort.
