Osteosarcoma
The beneficial action of Heckla Lava is seen in incurable, progressive pathology like sarcoma. A female aged 53, who had been diagnosed as osteosarcoma of left hand consulted me. Physicians had advised her for amputation. CT scan revealed that the lesion is a periosteal osteosarcoma. Plain X-ray chest has shown that left calcified pretracheal lymphnodes,

arousing suspicion of metastasis. We prescribed Heckla Lava was prescribed according to Dr.Burnett’s writings on curability of Tumors.Pain and swelling has come down and still the patient is on observation.

Heel pain
-Dr.S.Jagadha,Chennai
   
I have used it successfully in heel pain. Pricking and burning pain calls this remedy. Initial movements are painful. In calcaneal spur, the x ray would reveal hook like calcified protuberance on the pressure points of the calcaneum . Some times the surrounding tissue also thickened. In such types Bryonia would relieve pain and Heckla Lava has reduced the thickened, indurated periosteum of the calcaneum
