Complementary Medicine: I Can't Cope Without My Valium

COMPLEMENTARY MEDICINE: I CAN'T COPE WITHOUT MY VALIUM
Dr Yvonne Casey

Q: Anxiety has taken control of my life and I have to take the maximum number of diazepam just to get through the day. Please help.

A: RELYING on Valium isn't a longterm solution. Seek out the source of your anxiety and start making changes to solve the problem. Jayvee can enhance one's feeling of wellbeing without side effects or interference with current medication. Take one tablet twice a day before meals for a minimum of three months. It may be ordered on 01292 317670.

Q: MY six-month-old son has been prescribed Zantac suspension for his reflux. Is there an alternative?

A: CENTAURIUM is a natural antacid and safe for babies. Add three drops and a little water into a teat. Let him suck away at it at least three times a day, 15 minutes before feeding him. This will help to break up the wind and encourage his appetite.

Q: I'VE been trying Saw Palmetto for a swelling on my testicle but to no avail. What else will help?

A: THIS herb is more specifically aimed at the prostate. Instead, try Conium 30c, one tablet twice daily at least 30 minutes before or after meals for two months. Also, visit your GP. Conium can be ordered from Freeman's Homoeopathic Pharmacy on 0845 225 5155 (calls charged at local rate).

Q: I WORK with anorexia nervosa patients, who are given Ensure drinks to build up strength. Many complain of abdominal discomfort and bloatedness. What will help?

A: MILK Thistle Complex can reduce such symptoms. Try 15 drops in a little water three times daily. An alternative to Ensure would be preferable for those who find it hard to tolerate. Floradix liquid may be beneficial. Try a teaspoonful three times a day for the first month, then once nightly and continuing for as long as necessary
