What your doctors won’t tell you about Lichen Planus…
By Dr Rajesh Shah, M.D.
(For information of patients and conventional doctors.)
The conventionally trained dermatologists (skin doctor) may
have certain opinions about Lichen Planus and its treatment, based on the
information gathered through medical training and experience. Unfortunately,
the conventional medical training gives exposure only to the conventional
therapies. As a result, any alternative solutions to Lichen Planus are never
taught to or learned by the conventional doctors.
Also, the mindset of the conventional doctors takes such a
shape that they often tend to think that there exists nothing beyond the
conventional treatment, especially when it comes to the treatment of Lichen
Planus in particular and many chronic diseases in general.
As a result, knowingly or unknowingly, they become
instrumental in depriving patients of the benefits of other alternatives, especially
homeopathy.
Let us see what your doctors will or won’t tell you about
Lichen Planus:
Cortisone or steroids
is the most effective and probably the only treatment for Lichen Planus.
It is not correct, actually. Homeopathy offers an excellent
treatment for Lichen Planus, which your doctor may not tell you, largely due to
ignorance.
Cortisone will cure
Lichen Planus.
It rarely happens that Lichen Planus is cured using
cortisone. In most cases, Lichen planus resurfaces after stopping the use of
cortisone, which the doctors might not tell you.
Use of cortisone makes Lichen Planus more resistant. It can increase Lichen Planus is some
cases..
Unfortunately, hardly any doctor will tell you that as you
use cortisone for Lichen Planus, it becomes all the more difficult to treat. Cortisone
being an immunosuppressive therapy, it suppresses Lichen Planus lesions for
some time, without curing it. As a result, some eruptions get better after
using cortisone, more eruptions (elsewhere) may appear. No doctor may tell you
that suppression of some eruption leads to appearance of more spots of Lichen
Planus elsewhere on the body.
Stress has great
bearing to Lichen Planus.
Very few doctors would probably tell you about the
connection between stress and Lichen Planus. Not many doctors would review your
stress in an elaborate manner and relate how stress management would help treat
Lichen Planus.
Homeopathy offers excellent
treatment for Lichen Planus.
Only those doctors who have personal experience using
homeopathy or have seen patients getting treating with success, using
homeopathy; would suggest you to opt for homeopathy. Most of them would not
suggest simply due to lack of knowledge.
Homeopathy does not
work for Lichen Planus.
It is very easy for anyone to comment negatively about any
science. However, it can be considered valid only if the opinion comes either
from professional training or personal experience.
Please ask your doctor, if the opinion is based on his or
her personal training. Ask, if the doctor has evaluated clinical studies
published in homeopathic medical world. It is helpful to find out if such an
opinion is a arising out serious experience or wishful assumption.
Now, when you visit your skin doctor next time, ask if he or
she has studied about homeopathy and its role in the treatment for Lichen
Planus.
