Bone cancer – Calc flour
The second case is a 2-year-old male Galgo huntingdog, ‘Onyx’, from the shelter, who had a severe injury of one front paw with an abscess with bloody yellow stinky pus coming from a wound, which was like a fistula (R 1,2,3). The dog hadn’t used the foot for nearly 8 weeks already. Infection ameliorated with bathing in Calendula and Colloidal Silver fluid and Hepar sulfuris D8, 3 globules twice daily for 1 week. The pain remained the same intensity and on the xray done then, you can see that there are parts of one phalangeal bone missing (R8, 9) and many exostoses (R 4, 5) around the bone. I believe it was/is an osteosarcoma (R 6, 7, 10). I wanted to amputate the toe but the shelter refused. When the toe was examined it was painful (R11). You could
hear the crepitating noise and feel the looseness like after a fresh fracture (R 12), but it stemmed from the destroyed, missing bone. A callus was covering the bone, except where the bone was missing (R13). Therapy with Calc phos D12, Symphytum D12 and Hekla lava D12 didn`t do much. Because he had been adopted already and would fly to Germany, and he had had 2 weeks of antibiotics as well without any side effects. So I thought about the remedy again: bone tumour, exostosis hands, pain bones, ailments from injury, fistulas with pus, hard swellings, aggravated by exertion, and I chose Calc Fluor 30C, 3 pills once a day. During the following 5 days, the limping got about 20% better and he left to join his new owner. The report from the new owner 2 weeks later was very surprising: he didn’t limp any more and didn’t show signs of pain, “He is playing with the other dogs like hell”. They had started to give him antibiotics exactly the same as we did, no other therapy, so this couldn’t be the reason forthecure. Iamwaitingforacontrolxray, which they promised but didn’t do yet, one month later.
When one more month had passed the limping got much worse again and bandages couldn`t ameliorate it, we thought amputation to be the only helpful way in the long run. But I didn't do it. Instead I repertorised again and found Fluor to be fitting some of her symptoms. So I decided on Calc Fluoratum 200 C.
The change was unbelievable! Within a few days the foot stretched from an Zik-zak to a more or less straight line, the shoulder came in and the limping nearly stopped. Within 4 weeks she started to use the claws much better in climbing and now with 10 month of age the shortened leg has nearly the same length as the other. Now she can move 2 out of 4 fingers normally and one a little bit. She can nearly keep up with the other bigger cats in climbing trees, running and jumping.
Actual treatment is Calc Fluor once a month.
As a person she is a normal cat, likes to be stroked, when she wants to but still never scratches or bites. Shy with strangers (R3), eats only what she desires and is a real princess.
She loves to jump in the air for many reasons (R1,2), catches flies excellently with her bad paw or both and climbs trees like the other 2 cats. The missing nails have completely grown out. Her favourite place to sleep is in between the owners completely covered by the bed sheets (R13) and with contact to at least one of them. She comes at night and scratches with her paw until one of them lifts up the bed sheets (Julius Mezger, Gesichtete homöopathische Arzneimittellehre).
Follow-up: When she exceeds her limits and jumps from a very high place (dislocation/ sprain R11) or plays wildly all day long, there might be a small relapse in limping and position, but a single dose of Calc Fluor 30C brings her back to normal within hours.
