This morning I had an inquiry, reproduced below, from a client for whom I had provided a support program for her dog's cancer last year.
She wrote;
Dear Robert
BTW - my two-year-old grand daughter will shortly undergo surgery for two dislocated hips - which, no doubt, occurred at or within months of birth.
Unfortunately, various health professionals with whom she has come in contact have failed to recognise the problem, even with her 'waddling' gait, and it was not diagnosed until finally we found an observant and knowledgeable paediatrician this week. It is a very bad case with acetabulare dysplastic.
Although I suspect surgical interventions don't particularly lend themselves to herbal remedies, I thought, with your creative approach, you may have a suggestion to help her through.
The procedure [don't know whether they will do both hips in one go or have her back for a second one...ugh!] will mean a week in hospital and then six long weeks immobilised in a body cast.
I think Rescue Remedy could be useful - what do you think?
Do you have any other suggestions?
Regards
Jan
I replied:
Dear Jan,
There is a great deal we can do to protect and support your Granddaughter through her surgery and recovery which will result in minimum shock and side effects and rapid and full rehabilitation and healing.
Firstly:
I prepare all patients going in for operations for the shock of the anaesthetic and the procedure, which although we don't feel anything in our minds our bodies are profoundly shocked and traumatised by the surgery. You can imagine that our body suffers as much as we would, if the procedures were carried out while we were wide-awake.
It is this shock, which depletes our adrenal reserves and our immunity so profoundly, and this in turn is what delays healing and makes us susceptible to infection and complications.
For this reason also, I would strongly recommend that you tried to have both hips done at once, as the single exposure to all of this and the single period of immobilisation, is all that you want to expose this 2 yr old girl to.
To prepare for an operation I provide a mixture consisting of concentrated Rosehips Extract and Rescue Remedy. It is to be given in frequent small doses (5 to 10 drops only), in most of her drinks for the 3 or 4 days before surgery and then starting immediately she is awake after the operation. The sooner the better.
This preparation alone will support the resolution of shock and rebuild her adrenal reserves and Vitamin C levels, which will be decimated by the procedure.
Secondly:
Nowadays also there is a severe risk of catching a hospital based staph infection and I have many patients spending weeks on IV antibiotics trying to recover from such infections. No hospital and no Doctors surgery is safe from this danger now.
This danger is also why in hospital they will want to give your granddaughter very strong prophylactic antibiotics, which will also be very hard on her system.
I protect my patients from hospital based staph infection by giving them Colloidal Silver along with a herb called Thuja before, and immediately after surgery, and this provides an additional layer of protection for her system while she is in hospital and so vulnerable.
The Colloidal Silver, Thuja and Pre Operative treatment may all be given together just mixed in all her drinks and there are no contra indications or side effects and neither are none of them dose sensitive at the doses recommended.
Really and honestly all hospitals should be following all these procedures routinely and by doing so they would dramatically improve the prospects for their patients.
Instead most of them are:
Denying there is a problem.
Worrying about the legal implications if it is proven someone catches an infection.
Burying their head in the sands and hoping medical science will come up with a solution.
Finally:
There is a simple bone healing mix which I make up which will support the post surgical healing and this would be started after surgery and continue during the healing process. Again this will speed up the bone repair and minimise scarring and all the rest and improve the prospects of everything turning out well.
I spent a little time detailing what in fact we can do with the herbs to support the surgery and the healing process and I strongly encourage you to explain all this to your daughter and/or her surgeon, and try to have her follow these suggestions.
I am happy to talk to either or both of them in more detail and you may care to refer them to my website on;
I have been a little long winded about this Jan, but decided that your inquiry would be a good opportunity to lay it all out and maybe use the same explanation as the subject of a newsletter to inform the wider community.
With your permission, and with your personal details changed, I should like to include an extract from your letter as an intro to this topic
Yours truly,
Robert McDowell
