Cranial osteopathic manipulative treatment is very helpful in healing head trauma.
(Plus homeopathic medicines, like Arnica montana and Natrum sulphuricum, can be also be useful)

Virginia Tech’s Pamela VandeVord, Ph.D., and Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine’s Gunnar Brolinson, DO, received a $2.17 million NIH grant to study whether cranial osteopathic manual manipulation could aid in treating traumatic brain injury.

Could applying a little pressure to the head be a game changer for the treatment of traumatic brain injury?

LA forest fires are causing physical and emotional traumas. To protect the alveoli* in the lungs, use homeopathic medicine Silicea 30C 10 pellets weekly. Consider adding Ignatia 30C 5 pellets once a day for grief. Additional homeopathic medicine(s) may be needed, depending on personal history. Work with a local DO/MD/ND to better assist your needs.

*Alveoli are very small air sacs at the end of the bronchioles (small branches of air tubes in the lungs). The alveoli are where the lungs and the blood exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide during the process of inhalation and exhalation.

Nearly painless dental extraction

I had 4 wisdom teeth extracted about 10 days ago. Thanks to these homeopathic medicines, I didn’t need to take any of the prescription medications (Ibuprofen 600 mg & Percocet 5 mg) that were given to me. I did not have any swelling of the face or discomfort greater than a 1 out of 10 pain.

I took 5 pellets each in the morning of the surgery (held under the tongue until completely melted - waited about 5 minutes, then spitted it out, since I was instructed to take nothing after midnight). After the surgery, I repeat the medications (swallow the melted medicines now instead of spitting them out) every 1-2 hours.
When the numbness wore off, medications can be taken as needed - about every few hours the first couple days, then gradually decrease. Whenever I feel a slight ache in my teeth, I would repeat the medicines. Hypericum was stopped when the anesthesia wore off, and I was able to feel my face completely.

Also thanks to my skillful dental surgeon Dr. Laski for the extractions & the caringly funny Dr. Cernansky for the post-op care Valley Oral Surgery

According to the CDC, post-COVID19 symptoms are "hard to explain and manage", and "as of July 2021, post-COVID conditions can be considered a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)" There is little information available on the treatment of patients with Post-COVID19 symptoms. However, in Dr. Nguyen's patient population, early support with various combinations of homeopathic medicines, osteopathic manipulative treatment, acupuncture, herbal and other supplements have successfully sped up recovery and resolved symptoms.
Estimation of one-quarter to one-third of the people with COVID-19 infection become long haulers. The most common symptoms are fatigue and respiratory problems (e.g. shortness of breath), followed by headache, "brain fog" or difficulty concentrating, memory issues, insomnia, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and muscle aches. Some other reported symptoms include altered or loss of taste and smell, tachycardia/palpitations, chest pressure/pain, depression, altered mood, paresthesia, loss of appetite, weight loss, and hair loss. Symptoms can be debilitating, affecting the quality of life and mental health. Starting early supportive treatment can aid your body to heal and recover more quickly.
