Q. I have a persistent stinging sensation on my skin – all over – that varies in intensity. There is no visible rash or associated itch; a dermatologist was of no help. This began out of the blue and has not let up for the past 10 days. I am 53, 5 yrs into menopause. Have you heard of this and/or treated this?

Q. I was wondering if other mothers have experienced dry eyes after pregnancy and breast feeding. If so what have you done to treat it?

I have never had dry eyes in the past not during the pregnancy. Three months after giving birth i began experiencing severe dry eyes, I only nursed three months after giving birth then I stopped. Out of nowhere I developed keratitis on my both eyes. My ophthalmologist then told me it’s cured. The Keratitis did cured in one month, but more than one year from then, my eyes still feel dry and hurt very often. I stopped wearing contacts and my vision did not changed, but the eyes always feel painful, itchy and tired. And my life has been changed upside down because this obsession feeling of uncomfortableness on my eyes.

Q. Is there a homeopathic cure for atrial fibrillation most likely caused by cardiomyopathy? I am having my second episode of consistent afib since December 2009. This time I feel better and have been going to cardiac rehab, but I am on some pretty dangerous medications, including amiodarone, coumadin, coreg, cozaar, lasix and spironolactone, plus cod liver oil, magnesium, ubiquinol, etcetera. If you can help me, please send an email. Even if it is a referral. I have heard many good things about you and your practice. Hoping to hear from you soon. I live in North Bay, about 60 miles from your clinic. Thank you for any help that you can give me.

Q. My daughter is 15 years old and suffers from trichotillomania.  I have heard wonderful things about your practice and your treatment for this disease. Can you recommend a doctor closer to my home in WV?

A. The best way to locate a good homeopathic practitioner in your area is to visit the website of the National Center for Homeopathy which is located in Alexandria VA. The web address is www.homeopathic.org. The National Center for Homeopathy is an excellent resource for any kind of information about homeopathy. The website has an extensive directory of all levels of practitioners in the various states, with their qualifications and any additional information about their areas of specialty. In general for the treatment of trichotillomania, you do not necessarily need an MD. You just need a good and experienced homeopathic practitioner. You will find many such practitioners in the National Center directory.

Ask Dr. Ikenze: Help for Teething Woes

Q. My baby seems to be teething. He is so restless, won’t sleep at night, crying more than usual, and wanting to be held or to nurse all the time. I find myself giving him a lot of Tylenol and I would rather not. Is there anything natural that can help?

A. Yes, there is help besides Tylenol. You can get a homeopathic remedy from the health food store: Chamomilia 30c in little pellets or in liquid form. You administer it by placing 3 pellets or three drops in your baby’s mouth. Chamomilia can be given up to 4 times a day as needed. It helps calm a restless baby and induce sleep. In general a single dose at night is sufficient to relieve teething pain and help your baby go to sleep. The remedy Chamomilia is much more convenient and acts much faster to relieve your baby’s discomfort than trying to get your baby to drink Chamomile tea.

Vaccinations – To Give Or Not To Give?

Posted in Homeopathy

Should I vaccinate my child or not?  Is there mercury in the vaccine? Does my child really need all those vaccines? Do vaccines cause autism? What is the risk to my child if I don’t vaccinate him? These and other questions are raised by parents faced with having to navigate the increasingly complex array of vaccines recommended for their children, starting right at birth. Many families feel coerced by their pediatricians to vaccinate their children. They feel powerless to argue against the campaign for universal vaccination for as many diseases as possible.
