Got a tip from another forum regarding a homeopathic medicine called arnica 30c, some prostatitis sufferers said that it had helped them quite a bit. Anyone whos tried it?
Going through acupuncture now and I'm visiting a homeopath on tuesday to look for allergies and imbalances. Ill report if any progress occurs.
Be well!
Arnica 30c
Arnica 30c
Age:25 Onset age:20 | Symptoms: Bladder/rectum pain, heartburn, sexual dysfunction, urethra and perineum pain, IBS, chronic fatigue. Makes worse: bad diet, poor sleep, alcohol. Makes better: positive thinking, good diet, drinking lots of water, internal/exernal stretching
Homoeopathy is not very popular on this forum. Arnica is a common remedy in homeopathy - often prescribed, I think, to treat shock and bruising so, if it works, then maybe it will work for you. Good luck with it!
Age: 44 | Onset Age:41 | Symptoms: abdominal pain and discomfort, urinary frequency, low libido | Helped By: quercetin, diazepam, neurontin, Elavil | Worsened By: sex, alcohol, caffeine
I wouldn't say that - people do take things such as natural antihistamines, etc. I'm also taking a number of supplements to help with food intollerances.londoner wrote:Homoeopathy is not very popular on this forum.
Given the frustration we all feel with our condition and the lack of support from the 'established' health care community I think we've all tried and continue to try most approaches from homeopathy to acupuncture.

Now I've been to see a homeopath, I do not have any food allergies according to her tests. I do though hae a lowered immune system. This might explain why my body can't heal. Its like evrytime I get symtoms of some sort they bocome chronic. CPPS, back, joints etc.
I got a couple of supplements and specifically asked for arnica. Well see how it goes.
Btw, today I also had acupuncture for the second time. Before the session I had about a 7 in pain scale and afterwards it went down to about 2-3. I could actually feel a slow decrease in pain during the session. Hopefully my body reacts well to the treatment!

Homoeopaths! The whole principle of homoeopathy is to give extremely tiny amounts of substances as medications. The concept is incompatible with physical science since the dose of medication is so diluted that it is below Avagadro's number and therefore less than one molecule of the substance remains. Friends, it really is mumbo-jumbo. Any positive results you get are almost certainly the result of the ubiquitous and powerful placebo effect. Moreover, I'd like to know exactly what allergy tests a homoeopath administers!Pelican wrote:Now I've been to see a homoeopath, I do not have any food allergies according to her tests.

Homeopathy. What a great hoax!
I think the only benefit of homeopathy is that you meet a doctor (?) that is probably warm and compassionate and spends more than an hour with you. It is often a good psychotherapy session. This is opposed to your standard urologist that has barely 15 minutes to examine you before giving you a script for Cipro.
Remember, a placebo effect can work for several months.

amica is a placebo
Amica is indeed a placebo at best.
I was suckered into getting Amica. The ingredients listed on the Amica bottle are just sucrose and lactose. A glass of milk is much cheaper.

Dear Gifford
There are different ways of taking ARNICA 30. Below is a very successful method of taking arnica, please try it if you still have some medicine left, and be patient
Take three pellets or three drops of Liquid arnica and put in a 500ml mineral plain water, make sure to make some room in the bottle by throwing a little bit of water
Take a sip 4 times a day for 7 days, empty stomach
Dont eat or drink anything for 30 minutes after taking the medicine
Make sure to shake the bottle vigorously before each sip
As soon as start feeling better, in any area, reduce your dosage
Wish you good health
regards

I have a vile of arnica that my acupuncturist gave me. I have not taken it because I'm not so sure where I stand with the whole concept. The idea of giving myself a small related dose of arsenic which is what arnica is made from, is not something I'm comfortable with as of now???

I encourage anxiety prone UCPPS people to consider L-Theanine
Age, 44 onset age 37 Feb 2006 Freq. need to urinate. Sensation of having to urinate soon after going. Perineum discomfort/burning/tightness, pubic area discomfort @ times,poor urine stream, post urine dripping/spray. All symptoms have improved with my protocol. At the worst I give it a 1 to 2 on irritation and discomfort and frequency. Helps: Elavil 5mg for anxiety and mast cell protection, (will only take it as needed) self internal PT as needed, stretching, walking, stairmaster cardio workout and light weights, reducing stress, moment to moment relaxation, deep breathing relaxation and using a Theracane. Makes worse: sitting for long periods, stress, over focusing on it. Currently 95%-98% recovered. Stay positive, relaxed and control your anxiety.

Arnica 30C is so diluted that the chance of getting a molecule of the original substance is virtually none (a dilution of 30C is like a molecule in Lake Michigan, Hahnemman the inventor of Homeopathy had of course no knowledge of the Avogadro number).
All you get is a sugar pill. It is 100% safe and... totally ineffective.

Dear Carld
There is nothing material in the homeopathic medicine Arnica you have, you can have a laboratory check if you want. By method of succussion, only the memory of Arnica remains in the homeopathic medicine, which is nothing but energy.
Make sure that what your acupuncturist gave you is a homeopathic medicine (which I am sure is), and then use it the way I have described. I can guarantee you, no harm will come to you, and you can also prove me wrong if it turns out ineffective as claimed by other members.
Give it a try please.
Many regards
Joey
