Eighty-Year-Old Finds Kidney Stone Relief with Homeopathy, Surgery Avoided

Mrs A.B., an 80-year-old woman from Assam, began her online treatment with Life Force Homeopathy on July 25, 2023 (Patient ID: 52061) She initially reported frequent urination for the past six years, which had recently worsened to the point where she could not hold urine and had to rush to the restroom. Additionally, she experienced brief episodes of shivering or tremors lasting about two seconds over the past four months.

Her medical history included a cholecystectomy for gallstones and a hysterectomy for fibroids. She managed hypertension and an underactive thyroid with conventional medications, both conditions remaining stable. Furthermore, she had osteoporosis, making it difficult for her to hold her head up.

An ultrasound on June 30, 2023, revealed multiple small echo-reflective calculi in her right kidney, with the largest measuring 6 mm. There were mild obstructive changes in the respective calyces, while her left kidney appeared normal. A urine report on June 28, 2023, indicated red blood cells (RBC) at 8 to 12 per high power field (HPF).

Mrs A.B.'s case was thoroughly studied by Dr. Rajesh Shah at Life Force Homeopathy. Blood investigations were conducted, and dietary recommendations were provided to help manage her condition.

Follow-Up Summary

On September 29, 2023, three months into her treatment, Mrs A.B. reported significant improvements. The frequency of her night-time urination had decreased by 20%, and she managed her symptoms by avoiding drinking water after 7 PM. The shivering episodes had reduced in frequency, and she noticed a significant reduction in abdominal bloating and heaviness.

On December 2, 2023, by early December, Mrs A.B. continued to show progress. Her urinary symptoms improved further, with a good flow of urine. She continued to drink about 1 litre of water per day and still had to rush to the restroom once the urge to urinate arose. The abdominal bloating had also reduced further.

On February 11, 2024, in February, Mrs A.B. reported overall betterment in her condition. The frequency of urination had significantly improved, and she no longer experienced shivering episodes. Though she still had mild heaviness in the abdomen, it was better managed.

On April 14, 2024, by mid-April, Mrs A.B.'s condition had improved substantially. She only needed to get up at night for urination without any associated pain or shivering. Her overall health had improved, with no fever, pain, nausea, difficulty passing urine, or dribbling urine. Haematuria was no longer a concern, and her drug dependence remained nil.

A follow-up ultrasound on May 2, 2024, showed normal-sized kidneys with no evidence of calculi or calyceal dilatation. Both kidneys were normal in size, shape, and position, though there was increased parenchymal echo texture with blurred cortico-medullary differentiation in places. The right kidney measured 82 mm, and the left kidney measured 78 mm.

Over ten months of treatment at Life Force Homeopathy, Mrs A.B. experienced significant improvement in her symptoms related to renal calculi and associated issues. The frequency and urgency of urination decreased, shivering episodes ceased, and abdominal bloating reduced considerably. The follow-up ultrasound confirmed the absence of renal calculi. Mrs A.B. continues to manage her hypertension and underactive thyroid with conventional medication and calcium supplements, maintaining stable conditions in both areas.

Her treatment plan includes regular follow-ups and maintaining a healthy lifestyle to prevent the recurrence of symptoms.

Conclusion:

This case highlights the effectiveness of Life Force Homeopathic treatment in managing renal calculi and associated symptoms in an elderly patient, providing a holistic approach to improving the patient's quality of life without drug dependence.
