Re: caulophyllum thalictroides tablets+ IOLFrom: midwife@moment.netTue Aug 16 22:41:49 2005
Lenora, This scenario makes me VERY suspicious that she (also?) tried castor oil without consulting anyone -- that's the only "natural" induction method which I have seen (in 20 years of practice) lead to similar situations -- and I hate castor oil for this very reason! Once had to admit someone and dose her with morphine for severe intestinal cramping after she unilaterally decided to take castor oil.... Have often used homeopathic caulophyllum (blue cohosh) alternating with homeopathic cimicifuga (black cohosh), in pellet form (I use only Boiron products), to augment ineffective labor patterns, with what I'd term slight to moderate success. Have NEVER seen either work to induce labor. Nor have I ever seen such a drastic result with nipple stim., although I have usually -- eventually -- been able, when necessary, to get women with ripe cervices into labor with membrane stripping + nipple stim. + walking + more nipple stim. + more walking.... It drives me nuts when people do these things to themselves, and for no good reason, it sounds like. Sorry you had such an unfortunate experience. Lynne Loeffler, CNM, JD Central Texas

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
