Natural Preparation for Surgery

Preparation for Surgery
This is a general guide only. It is educational and is not a replacement for medical care or supervision.

♥ Homoeopathic Arnica 200: helps reduce shock. Take 1 dose per day for 2 days before surgery. Take 1 dose or have it rubbed into temples or lips as soon as possible after the surgery. Take 1 dose per day for 3 days. If you have pain or bruising, you may use Arnica 30 for a few days.

♥ Natural Vitamin C Complex 455mg: Take 2 slow release tablets every 3 hours for at least 3 days before surgery. Continue with 2 tablets every 2 hours (6 a day) after the surgery for 3 days. Then reduce to 2 tablets morning and 2 tablets evening for several weeks. This assists healing tissue, supports the immune system and helps the body cope with the anesthetic drugs.
You may use Vitamin C Complex Powder. If you get loose bowel movements, you need to reduce the dose and frequency.

♥ Chelated Zinc 15mg: Zinc encourages wound healing. 3 tablets per day for a week before surgery and 2 weeks after, then reduce to 2 tablets per day.

♥ Chelated Calcium/Magnesium: These minerals help with pain and healing. Take 2-4 tablets per day 1 week before surgery, and for 3 weeks after. If you have pain, you can take up to 12 tablets per day, chew a couple every 2 hours.

♥ Water Miscible Vitamin E Complex ( 4 Tocopherols and 4 Tocotrienols):
2 x 1 capsule for a week before surgery. Continue afterwards until healing is complete. Use externally on any scar.

♥ Formula IV/Formula IV Plus: General nutritional supplement containing essential fatty acids to feed cell membranes. Use Formula IV if you also need to supplement iron (2x1 capsule), Formula IV Plus for men and women after menopause (1 set per day).

♥ Chlorophyll : helps build blood if you have had blood loss during surgery.
Use fresh green drinks, liquid chlorophyll or Barley Green Powder. You can use up to 20 teaspoons spread over a day if necessary.

♥ Acidophilus/Bifidus: If you have been given anti-biotics or steroids, use 3 capsules per day for a month. You may want to add Colostrum.

♥ Amino Acid Powder: use protein powders that have 22 amino acids in them in a pre-digested form. Protein helps rebuild tissue.

♥ Bach Flower Rescue Remedy or Bush Flower Emergency Essence: use in drinking water and rub into temples or on lips. Use for the person having surgery and the support people. 10 drops per glass, sip.

♥ Immune Boosting Herbal Preparations and Carotenoid Complex: Several herbs can be helpful in boosting immunity after surgery. Astragalus, Cordyceps, Echinacea, Garlic, Golden Seal, Clivers, Pau d’Arco, Cat’s Claw, Ginseng, Andrographis.

Using positive imaging and holding the area under stress as well as your emotional points on the forehead can support the healing process.
