Tongue numbness post chicken pox

A 79 yrs old lady with history of chicken pox on her right neck, face to the nose site.
She feel very sharp pain on her ear and numbness of her tongue.

Patient was on Inj B12 weekly for one month, Lyrica on nights and tablet B12 daily; this slightly showed improvement.

I added low dose Antiviral drops at 20-0-20 dose, low dose Epstein barr nosode 10 drops daily.

Spoke to Dr Tariq; he advised to add in low dose Glutathione+Na EDTA+ Ca EDTA at dose of 20-0-20
Now pateint is completely free of the tongue numbness, she also can feel the taste of the food.

Neuralgic pain post Herpes zoster infection

I got 2 cases with severe neuralgic pains post herpes zoster infection.

I gave both homeopathy podophyllum which improved pains by 50 percent or so, the pains lessened in intensity but kept coming back at different times of the day.

Both cases developed dry mouth with frequent urination. This pointed to the need of kreosotum. Gave both of them homeopathy kreosotum. Next day both of them said there is no neuropathy pain left.

Note :

• Kreosotum is an anasthethic and reduces cal ion influx; varicella zoster significantly upregulates cal ions in the affected neurons upping the gene expressions of bhlha 15, cacna1f, cacng1 etc (cal upregulating genes). As cal ion influx increases it does so in the bladder too causing a mildly leaky bladder, patient has to run to the bathroom or will wet themselves and also causes dry mouth. Remeber in your future herpes zoster cases keep podophyllum and kreosotum handy.

• Low dose antiviral combo, Epstein barr nososde and homeopathy rhus tox (better on heat) or sulphur (better on cold) or lachesis (worse hot water) are not able to treat the neuropathy but just the herpetic lesions.

Bell’s Palsy

51 year old male diabetic patient who had left Bell’s palsy in 2020 and then Right Bell’s palsy post 2nd dose of Sinovac in July 2021. Then after booster Sinovac he developed lost of balance, difficulty in focussing and headache. Involvement of right cranial nerves 3,6,7 and problem of severe pain behind right eye.

I saw him about a month later and under advice from Dr Tariq gave low dose Lambda and homeopathy Causticum 200C and eye pain settled within 1 week.

Viral studies showed both EBV and HSV positive. Started on homeopathy Ars alb, Carcinosin, Jacaranda, Nat Mur & Merc solubis all at 200C 4-4-4 for HSV along with low dose EBV nosode and antiviral combo. In 1 week power of right eye showed improvement and by 3 weeks right eye essentially has normal function; when tested still weak at extreme of eye movement. Now left eye pressure borderline high so Eye combo and Lachesis given.
