Review Summary
Background
The patient, May S., underwent lymph node repair surgery after a stress test revealed family history concerns. Post-surgery, she experienced pain and bruising in her leg, prompting further testing to diagnose an aneurism and damaged lymph gland.
Medical Interventions
After an MRI revealed lymph gland damage, the patient was recommended additional surgery to cauterize the gland. However, she opted for natural and homeopathic treatment under the guidance of Victoria Goldsten, a certified alternative medicine nurse and homeopathic doctor.
Natural Treatment
Victoria prescribed a professional homeopathic formula to heal lymph nodes. Within three weeks, the patient's pain subsided. The formula is also used to protect and heal the lymph system during periods of excessive walking or exercise.
Additional Findings
During the same period, the patient was diagnosed with fibroids in the uterus. A remedy directed towards this condition was initiated, leading to a subsequent pelvic sonogram showing no fibroids.
Pre- and Post-Treatment Comparisons
The patient's history of removing small polyps during routine colonoscopies ended after starting homeopathic remedies. A subsequent colonoscopy revealed no polyps.
Conclusion
Victoria Goldsten's guidance and treatment led to the patient's recovery and improved health outcomes.
