Thank you very much for your recommendation.
Just to clarify, I am being advised to take three 200c strength pills (Belladonna) three times a day? Or to take a total dosage of 200c daily?
3-4 drops/pills whatsoever you have three times at 10 minute interval so if you had taken 3-4 pills at 7 am then next 3-4 pills at 7:10 and the third on final at 7:20.
Repeat the same for two more days (total of three days)
But if you notice any change(good or bad) then do not take the next day dose and report me
Dr Rakesh,
Apologies for not replying sooner.
I took the stated dose for 2 days and stopped because I noticed a slight improvement. But since then my condition is more or less unchanged, and small bumps under skin remain.
I have also large amount of scaring and large spots and pimples on my jawline and part of cheek(only on one side of my face). I have read this is hormonal and I have only experienced this problem since being under a lot of stress, and for 2 months the affected area has not improved. I would appreciate any advice on these problems.
Thanks
Do not touch your scar.
Apply Lemon juice with cotton on scars.
Apply Berbaris Aquafolium Q on scars and acne (put few drops in half cup of water and apply at once or twice a day)
Take Belladona 1M three doses at 10 minute interval weekly for one month.
Sincerely,
Rakesh Kumar, B.H.M.S., Lko
