Can leakage of heart mitral valve be treated with homeopathic medicines?My grandmom has leakage in mitral valve. I am searching for options to other than surgery to make it less painful for her. She' is above 80yrs of age. If you know of any good options for treatment , please let me know as we also consult the doctors. thank u :)
Instead of searching for a wizard to cure your grandma see a good cardiologist and ask him what to do.
I would make sure she goes to a good cardiologist and that he/she explains to you what the cause of the mitral valve regurgitation is, how severe it is, whether the left ventricular size and function are affected, and what the treatment options are. Unfortunately, there are no homeopathic therapies that are known to be effective. However, mitral regurgitation is well-tolerated for a long time, and your grandmother may only need to be followed clinically if the regurgitation is not severe and if she is asymptomatic. If the regurgitation is severe and if she's symptomatic or if the left ventricle has become enlarged or weakened, surgery is the best way to go as long as she is thought to be healthy enough otherwise to tolerate it. With all due respect, I don't take that magnesium deficiency argument seriously. A single paper from a group in Poland does not constitute significant scientific evidence. The fact that it was published in the journal Magnesium Research should suggest the value of the study. I suspect that's the only journal that was willing to review and accept the manuscript. Additionally, the paper addresses a very specific form of mitral valve disease called prolapse, which is not necessarily the problem with your grandmother. On top of that, the criteria the authors used for MVP are not well defined (a major problem with that diagnosis) and the methodology is otherwise questionable.
Homeopathic medicine is definitely not the way to go. Do some research on how they get to the final solution they sell you.
There is a significant amount of scientific evidence that mitral valve prolapse (leakage) is caused by magnesium deficiency. It is therefore treatable by proper magnesium therapy. Below is a link to the world's leading research journal on magnesium and a paper on this issue. www.ncbi.nlm.nih /pubmed/15945... Best wishes and good luck.
good blood does not mix with bad blood. The values have nothing to do with that as the two sides of the heart are separate. With Mitral valve incompetence or prolapse, the valve does not close like it is suppose to. That allows back flow of blood. If bad enough, the treatment is a valve replacement. With Mitral valve stenosis, the valve does not open like it is suppose to. That prevents flow through the valve. The treatment is a valve replacement or sometimes a simple cut in the valve to relieve the stenosis can be done. Either way, if bad enough, surgery is needed, not pills.
