Homeopathy-Quackery vs Future of Medicine

On October 25, 2007, the University of Connecticut Health Center will be
hosting a historic debate on homeopathy. This event will mark the first
time a major U.S. medical school has examined homeopathy in this depth. It
also marks the first time that the clinical, historical and basic science
data will be examined simultaneously.
The University of Connecticut Health Center presents:

A Debate: Homeopathy - Quackery Or A Key To The Future of Medicine?

An international forum to explore the facts around this controversial
modality in an attempt to determine whether it has a place in medical care.

Low Learning Center*
University of Connecticut Health Center
263 Farmington Avenue
Farmington, Connecticut 06030
Thursday, October 25
2:00P.M. - 4:00P.M. ET

Homeopathy is used by tens of millions of people around the world. On
October 25, you are invited to watch a debate between six internationally
renowned experts (Iris Bell, M.D., Ph.D., Rustum Roy Ph.D., Andre Saine
N.D., Donald Marcus M.D., Steven Novella M.D., and Naduv Davidovitch M.D.,
Ph.D.)
as they examine the basic science as well as the clinical and
historical evidence around this 200 year old system of medicine. Is
homeopathy pure quackery as some contend or perhaps the future of medicine?
Watch on October 25-2007

The event will be broadcast live over the internet and can be seen by

Clinical Homeopathic Research in Tuberculosis/MDRTB

 This research work was undertaken by Dilli Homoeopathic Anusandhan Parishad as a plan scheme during the Ninth Five Year Plan. There are two homoeopathic medical colleges in Delhi with attached hospitals and 73 homoeopathic dispensaries. There are 131 homoeopathic doctors who are engaged in teaching and patient care. The objective of the Parishad is to utilize this manpower and infrastructure for undertaking research activities in homoeopathy.
Parishad is carrying out
research in Evaluation of Homoeopathic drugs in the treatment of MDRTB/TB and is co-coordinating research activities in Nehru Homoeopathic Medical College and Hospital and Dr. B. R. Sur Homoeopathic Medical College, Hospital & Research Centre. Special clinics have been established for the research projects.

Last year , I noticed that the complete paper was present on the site but this time Dilli Homoeopathic Anusandhan Parishad has put the information in brief . But I had somehow managed to save the paper in my hard disc .

The Nehru Nagar TB center was started in Feb.2001 to carry out clinical research on multi-drug resistant tuberculosis. A total of 120 patients of CAT-II failure were treated and useful homeopathic drugs were identified for undertaking Double Blind Placebo Control trial according to the protocol.
II. Nehru Homoeopathic Medical College and Hospital
During this year, out of the total of 66 patients, 24 cases followed-up regularly. [CAT-II failure 15, lymphadenitis 09]. Useful Homeopathic drugs were identified.
III. Gulabi Bagh TB Center
The Gulabi Bagh TB Center was started in Jan. 2003 to carry out Double blind Placebo Control Study on MDR TB cases along with standard Reserve Line ATT regimen as per the protocol. A total of 210 cases of MDR tuberculosis were studied and already identified useful homoeopathic drugs were used in parallel designed control trial. The reports were discussed in the Scientific Advisory Committee.

Cuba makes achievements in homeopathy

Experts noted that homeopathy has been successfully used to treat patients suffering from herpes zoster, as proved in a study of 65 patients in the city of Guantánamo. Homeopathy is cheaper than conventional therapy and does not cause side effects.

Cuba's health system has made great achievements in homeopathic medicine, as part of modern procedures to treat a wide range of diseases.

Homeopathy Pro- a new homeopathy software



 

Homeopathy Pro is a professional computer program for those who practice classical homeopathy. It combines the advantages of time-proved case taking methods with advanced features of up-to-the-minute software. Take case notes in a friendly, convenient environment
enjoy most natural repertory search
get correct results from Repertories by recognized authors
read Мateria Medica to feel confident about your prescription. All this will help save your time and preserve quality of your work.

However I feel the limitations of this software as it's limited to kent & Bonneinghausen's repertory only. But for the newcomers in homeopathy it may be helpful.

My rating for this software is Zero

Homeopathy is in deep trouble



Sue Young is a London based homeopath. She is experiencing the same pain as we feel about the pathetic condition of homeopathy . Recently One of the UK's five homeopathic hospitals, The Royal London, is under threat of closure because of funding cuts. NHS is now going to launch new sets of laws to curb homeopathy. Even the famous news paper "Daily mail " has now launched the campaign against homeopathy. In a recently published article "Homeopathy is worse than witchcraft?" Professor Michael Baum, professor emeritus of surgery at University College London spoke venomously against homeopathy. Please do visit this site and add your comments.
Each & every blogger needs the inspiration & Sue is undoubtedly among one of us. Her blog "Spring Offensive against homeopathy " is in the third stage . Pl visit & add your comments on all of the three blog posts . To read these posts click here, here & here.

Vakil's Aid to Confirm The Similimum (VACS)



VACS is a program which is developed by Prof. Dr.Prakash D. Vakil to create A Practical and Scientific Homoeopathic Method (device) to simplify Homoeopathic prescribing and to confirm a remedy selected by a prescriber.
VACS is a breakthrough in solving the complicated and complex cases which to-day's Homoeopath meets in his/her day-to-day practice.

What is VACS?



Clinical research and clinical observations are important in Homoeopathy. Homoeopathic repertories and Homoeopathic materia medicas have many clinical symptoms. Besides toxicology and proving they form the third source of Homoeopathic materia medica. Constantine Hering, one of the pioneers in Homoeopathy felt that simply proving a remedy was not sufficient. There should be clinical confirmation of the symptoms obtained from proving.

Dr.Vakil has made many clinical observations in connection with tongue examination and findings , desires aversions, aggravations and amelioration as regards colors and different phases of moon affecting human life in general. He has written and published a book titled 'Tongue that does not lie'. It is a compilation of tongue findings from many sources with his own observations added to that. In this book he shows that the tongue findings are 'physical general symptoms' and not 'particular symptoms' as some may think. He has given various examples to prove his point. In an International congress on Homoeopathy an eminent Homoeopath said, 'I find it difficult to differentiate Nux-v. from Nat-m. in some cases.' Dr.Vakil said, 'For me it is very easy. I look at the tongue of the patient and then the case does not look as difficult as it seemed to be.' The color observations and the moon-phase observations have also been made after years of clinical research. Color - desires, aversions, aggravations and ameliorations may be considered as 'mental general symptoms'. Human body is more than 60% water. Just the way there is high tide and low tide in an ocean, the water in the human body is also influenced. Thus symptoms produced by the influence of moon are also considered as 'physical general symptoms'. Observations in connection with this have been made by a stalwart like Boger and also an important personality in the recent past like Dr.P.Smith of Switzerland. Papers in connection with all the three have been presented in International Homoeopathic Congresses where they were open to criticism. They have stood the test of time. As they are 'general symptoms', they form what may be called in Kent's language 'a three legged stool' for a sound and reliable prescribing. When there are other symptoms to select a remedy, they help in guiding and confirming like a blind man's dog. The 'VACS expert system' is mainly based on these TCM (tongue, color and moon) symptoms. He has also made his cough-cassette available which is a recording of different sounds of cough of actual patients recorded for a period of 10 years.
These sounds would be useful to Homoeopaths treating respiratory conditions with cough.
This system essentially envisages good observation on the part of the Homoeopath treating a patient. If he/she does'nt do it he/she is missing something. Hahnemann says that a homoeopath should be a good observer. Writing down history of the patient does not complete the task of the Homoepathic physician. Thus this system will be useful to only those who do that.

TCM is just the beginning. Many more physical findings and clinical observations will be added to guide a homoeopath in choosing a remedy.

So what does the VACS do?

1. After normal repertorization a remedy can be confirmed by taking TCM symptoms from VACS.
2. With RADAR-Synthesis the TCM symptoms may be taken to repertorize to find a remedy.
3. VACS can give TCM symptoms for specific remedies and can give comparative extraction of TCM symptoms of two or three remedies.
4. After TCM symptom repertorization with VACS one can go to RADAR-synthesis and check the remedy symptoms.
5. he actual sounds of cough in VACS help a practitioner in comparing and confirming a remedy.

How does it work?

Prerequisites:

i) Examination of tongue and study of the repertory of the tongue
ii) The prescriber must ask the patient the color of clothes he would prefer to put on and a strong dislike of some certain colored clothes which he/she would never put on. Aggravation and amelioration from wearing some certain colored clothes may be inquired. These desires, aversions, aggravation and amelioration are regardless of the fashion of the day and etiquette.
iii) Observation by the practitioner as well as the patient about the aggravation in his/her condition in relation to the phase of the moon. If the date of aggravation is noted down the phase of the moon can be checked from the lunar-calendar supplied by RADAR.

The computer would ask the practitioner: “Which remedy do you want to confirm?”

After the name of the remedy is given by the practitioner VACS will allow the practitioner to extract the 'tongue findings' of the remedy.

Similarly the color-symptoms as well as symptoms in connection with moon-phase would be also extracted.. If it is a respiratory case with cough as one of the symptoms, it would be possible to play the cough-sounds.

1- If all the TCM-findings of the remedy match "Remedy fully confirmed"
2- If tongue findings match but color and moon phase do not match "Remedy very likely"
3- If tongue-findings + either color or moon findings "Remedy most likely"
? If moon-phase and color findings match and tongue findings do not match "Remedy most likely"

If TCM-findings do not confirm:

Please check your history again. It could be a small remedy for which TCM- findings are not recorded. Please also look for different layers and treat the last layer. Tongue often points out the last layer so take the tongue-findings to clear the last layer.

If inspite of TCM findings matching the remedy does not work:

Look for obstacles to recovery like smoking, drugs, any other maintaining cause etc. The last layer requires to be treated first. The globules given to the patient are not medicated properly. Ask yourself, "Have I forgotten something?"

If remedy works but TCM findings do not match:

Addition to be made after consulting with Dr Vakil in TCM findings. This is a remote possibility.

Digital Homeopathy in Practice

Dr. Zubkewych is recognized as a leader in the use of digital information and homeopathy, and lectures and teaches around the world. He is also one of the foremost experts in North America in the understanding and use of Dr. Schimmel's Causal Chain.

Dr. Zubkewych talked about a very exciting subject that he has been researching - the use of digital information in homeopathic prescribing for which he credits many of the dramatic results he has with patients in his clinic in Toronto. To listen to a recording of this teleconference please click here . To download the article click here .

To summarize:

"Research by Benveniste has proved that it is now possible to record the activity of a homeopathic remedy or substance on a computer, and then replay it on a biological system that is sensitive to that same remedy or substance."

"It has been proven through research that the human ear, while operating at a frequency range of 20-20,000 hz, is a great receptor for low frequency information found in digital homeopathy."

"Because of the potential for amalgams and root canals to interfere with an oral dose of homeopathy, listening to a remedy can sometimes be more effective."

"High potency remedies have already been made illegal in countries such as Germany and France. And in those countries digital homeopathy was challenged in a court of law and won on the basis that therapeutic music such as Bach and Beethoven would also have to be made illegal."

Relationship of Homeopathic Medicines

I have found in many clinical cases the trios mentioned by Dr Nash & Dr Kent are very useful , if they are given according to the sequence.
Dr Nash has termed as regional trios i.e. three medicines prominently used or useful in certain region of sickness , e.g. trios of digestion, of restlessness, of pain , of delirium etc.
While Dr Kent has mentioned 11 trios for group of three medicines in the sequence as they are useful.

OTHER HELPFUL HINTS:

There are times when certain presenting symptoms lead us to think of a particular group of remedies. These presenting symptoms form a strong basis for prescription, of course by equating their generals and thermals with that of the patient.

a) Excessive thirst for cold water makes us think primarily of
Chilly: Aco, Eup. Perf., Phos., Calc. C., Verat. Alb.
Chilly and Angry: Cham, Nux-v, Coloc, Hepar-s.
Hot: Nat-mur, Bry, Sulph, Merc-sol, Tub.

b) No desire to drink at all: Puls, Apis Bry

c) Thirst for sips of water often:
Chilly: Ars, Ant-tart, Nat-ars, Coloc, China
Hot: Puls, Sulph.

d) Thirst for warm or hot drinks: Lyc, Casc, Eup-perf.
(Eup, perf has desire for ice cold drinks as well as warm drinks)

e) Nausea accompanying a fever - one should think of Nat-mur first. Other remedies in differential diagnosis are: Ipecac, Ars, Eup-perf, Phos, Bry, Sepia.

f) Excessive vomiting accompanying the chief complaints:
NAT-MUR, EUP-PERF, ANT-TART, IPECAC
Verat-alb, Cocculus, cina, cham, lyc, Ars, Ferr.

g) Fever with headache at vertex: Graphites should be ruled out.


h) Patients removing covers for sometime and taking covers back again, alternately with perspiration, weakness and yet strong mental state is Camphor.

i) Children who insist on going to school or insist on studying and doing homework in high fever, which in normal condition they tend to neglect should get one of the GOOD BOY REMEDIES e.g. Aur iod, Aur met, Silicea, Ignatia, Staph or Lyc. (If generals and thermals correspond)

j) Children who are friendly with the doctor but become panicky and do not allow the doctor to touch or examine require (if generals, thermals and thirst correspond) - Aco, Thuja, Stram, Lyc, Ars, Ambr, Bar-c, Ip, Ant-tart, Arg-nit.

k) Points to note:
Some drugs can be both Thirsty and Thirstless. e.g. - Ars, Ant-tart, China, Puls, Apis, Bell, Sil.
Thirsty in Chronic and Thirstless during Acute illness: e.g. Cina, Kali-carb, Lachesis, Bryonia, Sulph, Tarent, Bell, Baryta-carb.
Thirstless in Chronic and Thirsty in Acute: Ipecac, Apis, Puls (for sips), Ant-tart (for sips), China.

l) When a patient does not like to be questioned about how are you feeling or what would you like to eat or drink? specially by his wife, or why you did not take your medicine today? Or if he is asked the same question twice and he expresses his irritation by a frown or not answering --- the remedies to be considered are
CHILLY: Nux-v, Ac-phos, Arn, Ars, Colo
HOT: Pulsatilla, Nat-mur


m) All Kalis and silicas -- Anxiety disappears during fever or illness (except Kali-carb -- Anxiety1)
Kali-ars along with other kalis (except Kali-carb) are ANXIOUS3 have anxiety of health, but Anxiety disappears during fever or illness.
LYCO3 has A. about health -- disappears during fever
NIT-AC.3 has A. about health -- disappears during fever
SILICEA3 has A. about health -- disappears during fever

Bar-C, Bar-S, have hardly any anxiety about health, but tremendous anxiety during fever.
Similarly Cina, Tub, Ipecac have no anxiety about health, but increased anxiety during illness or fever
Natrums -- less A. about health during both - so averse to consolation.
Arg-n -- Anxiety in general, but no anxiety of health and no anxiety of fever.
Silent Anxiety of health (Where patient is just looking steadily and indifferent with) is Sepia.

n) EASY WAY TO REMEMBER THIRSTY AND THIRSTLESS REMEDIES
(a) Most CARBONS and CARBONATES are thirsty.
CARBONS: Carb-veg, Carbo-an, Carb-sulph, Carb-ac, Graph, Kreos, Petrol.
CARBONATES: Calc-carb, Kali-carb, Mag-carb, Nat-carb, Amm-carb

(b) Most POLYCHREST are thirsty: Sulph, Nat-mur, Phos, Ars, China, Op, Sil, Verat-alb, Stram, Secal-cor, Rhus-tox,

(c) Most angry drugs are thirsty - Nux-vom, Colo, hep-s, Cham, Aco

(d) Most BARYTAS are thirsty - Bar-c, Bar-m, Bar-Iod

(e) Most CALCAREAS are thirsty except Calc-p which can be thirstless also.

(f) Most MERCURIES are thirsty except Merc-cor and
Merc-i-r which can be thirstless also.

(g) Most KALIS are thirsty except Kali-c, kali-P which can be thirstless also.

(h) Most NATRUMS are thirsty

(i) Most MAGNESIUMS are thirsty but to a lesser degree than natrums.

(j) All SNAKES are thirsty

(k) Most SPIDERS are thirsty except Tarentula which can be thirstless

(l) Most METALS are THIRSTLESS except Cup-met, Plb

(m) Most ACIDS are THIRSTLESS but desires juices and refreshing things

(n) POLYCHREST which are THIRSTLESS are Lyc, Puls, Amm-mur, China, Gels, Sep, Apis, Ant-tart, Nux-mosh, Tarent, kali-c.

(o) Tarentula Kali-carb and China can be both.


CASES
Case 1 :

Date 18-2-97

Case of child 6 years old. Fever since 2 days. X-ray showed :- Right sided mid-zone pneumonic consolidation - on 18-2-97 Fever 103 degrees F; The child was quiet. Sleep was less. Wanted to open his books and read during fever. Did not trouble the mother. Mother had brought the child with a blanket wrapped around with a warm sweater inside. All this did not disturb or discomfort the child indicating he was 'chilly' at that stage. No thirst at all. One thing which was peculiar was that this mild, quiet child would 'hit' his father but very slowly. He was as though angry with the father but friendly to all in the clinic.

Activity Thermal Axis :-

General Activity



- DULL (Not sleepy)
Thermal






- Chilly
Thirst







- Thirstless
Activity Thermal Thirst
= D.C.T.L.

D.C.T.L.:- SEP, GELS, Ac-Ph, Ign, Staph, Nat Carb, Ipecac, China

Diligent- Conscientious - Ac-Ph, Ign, Staph, Nat Carb.

No craving for refreshing drinks - Ign, Staph, Nat Carb

No Misanthropy, not unfriendly, no effects of study - Ign, Staph



Ignatia and Staph coming up meant the child has had some mental cause for fever either the child was insulted or hurt. So a direct confirmatory question was asked - What had occurred before the fever? The answer confirmed the drug. The child had been scolded by the father for not keeping things in the proper place after which the child was not angry but hurt and he went into brooding without giving any expression after which he got fever.

18/2/98 - Ignatia 30 single dose was given

19/2/98- Fever increased to 103.5 degrees F at night of 18th
Cough increased at night of 18th
Fever came to normal on 19th morning. Appetite improved, Thirst increased. Child started


Playing around - Sac.lac.

27/2/98 - X-ray showed complete regression of lung pathology.

Here in this case things to note are:
Scolding was an action:

Staph. Reaction would have been -- giving vent to his anger in some way or the other e.g. kicking, throwing things; or showing anger on other people whom he knows will cause him no harm e.g. his mother …..

But Ignatia being a more cultured and intellectual constitution broods as a reaction -- feels bad, hurt and broods which staph does not.

So Ignatia was selected over staph.

These subtle difference in reaction give us the right similimum and the desired result!!


Case 2 :-

A girl aged 10 years with high fever since 5 days, coughing day and night and fever not responding to antibiotics and other allopathic line of treatment. She had come to me after a gap of 2 years. The mother said, "After you treated her last for recurrent cough and cold and asthmatic bronchitis, she was just fine. She could eat and drink cold things and any trash but she never really fell ill. Therefore, when the doctor could not cure her with antibiotics, I thought of coming to you especially since he said she has to be X-rayed".

I looked up her registered case and found she had responded excellently to a dose of Pulsatilla 200, 2 years
back.

I looked at the girl who did not look sick, sitting calm and quietly on the chair. As I told her to lie on the examination bed, she got up promptly and followed the orders. The mother said, " Yes, she's not worried about her fever, cough; she is more worried about me. She says she wants to help me. Even for water which she is drinking a lot, she gets up on her own and drinks so that I don't get troubled. She feels cold and lies with a thick blanket".

I got her X-ray chest done and Blood C.B.C. done. X-ray showed left-sided pneumonia and W.B.C. count was 18000.
In the above case I perceived that she had first of all shifted from Pulsatilla which had cured her of the asthma. She was no more hot or anxious, weeping Pulsatilla type.

Fever had not changed her activity. She was neither dull nor anxious. She was chilly, thirsty. Above -all, she was a 'Good Girl'. Obedient and caring towards her mother.

So the good Girl type i.e. Silicea which has no change of activity, thirstless, chilly was prescribed in ONE DOSE.

Fever rose to 103 degrees F the same night.

Next day fever was gone. No cough or lethargy was observed.

X-ray chest showed clearing and complete regression of lumps on the 4th day.
W.B.C. count came down to 9000 on 5th day.


Case 3 :-

Fever in child 3 years of age.
The child wanted to be carried continuously. Wanted to go out of the house where he was comfortable. If kept down, would constantly hold mother's hand. If the mother went away he would cry and force her to come back. Thirst the child had was for cold water but he would sip and even force the mother to sip. If she would not, he would start crying. He did not bear any coverings on him. The case was studied thus.

General Activity
- Activity Increased
- Mental Anxiety.
- (PULS, SULPH, APIS)

Thermals



- HOT (PULS, SULPH, APIS)

Thirst





- For cold water.
Actually thirstless (but sips often and wants
Mother also to sip.) He was drinking only to keep his mummy near and occupied. The child wanted her attention.

ANXIOUS + HOT+ THIRSTLESS = (PULS, SULPH, APIS)
Wants to hold mother's hand = Wants consolation } PULS
Wants to be carried out

= Better in open air.

12/12/95
Hb 9.3 gm %
WBC Total count 28000
Neutrophils 76%

(allopathic doctor had frightened the parents that the child might go into Leukaemia).

13/12/95 -
Child was playful, fever gone. No medicine

15/12/95 -
Child was completely O.K., playful, eats well; no fever.
Blood report :- Hb. - 9.3
WBC - 19000
Neutro - 64%

25/12/95 - Child reported fine.
Blood report :- Hb. - 10.8 gm
WBC - 8,700
Neutro - 60%.

Case 4 :-
Case of ACUTE OTITIS MEDIA

Girl aged 8 years complains of acute pain in right ear. Since the pain had started, she had become listless, was not moving about, was just lying down covering herself with a blanket. She was not interested in drinking, eating or even television programmes.

Activity Thermal Axis : = Dull, Chilly + Thirstless
D.C.T.L. = Sep, Ac/Phos, Ign, Staph, NC, Ipecac, China

Indifferent to everything + Indolent = Sepia
One dose of Sepia 200 cured her pain forever.


Case 5 :-
Case of Typhoid.

Girl aged 16 years suffering from Typhoid having serum Widal +ve. S. Typhi A titre of 350 units presented with a history of fever since 6 days not responding to antibiotics. She presented as a silent, quiet girl, more or less sullen looking answering my questions with a constant frown. The mother told me that since she's unwell, she's been sitting n her room and only wanting me to be in the room as company. She hates me or anybody questioning her about her illness. She would love to be under the fan constantly even when the fever was high. She loved only to drink cold water and was averse to eating food or reading books.

The patient was :-
DULL+ HOT + THIRSTY
+ Averse to Visitors
+ Irritated when obliged to answer.
+ Wants loneliness but wants one person in the room.

She was given Nat.Mur 200 single dose. Fever was gone the next day. Started going out on third day to her college. Widal titre high or not, the patient resumes normal activities within 24 to 48 hours of Homoeopathic dose - the Similimum!

(For other indications of Materia Medic refer page no 107)

Case 6 :-
Case of U.T.I. + Jaundice + Bronchitis

A Parsi child, age 2 years, was brought to me crying continuously with urine pus cell count of 40 - 60 h.p.f., serum bilirubin 1.7 mg and chest severely congested. The child was constantly crying and wanting to be carried. I saw the mother trying to distract the child by showing her electric switches. The child would keep quiet for some time seeing the switches and cry again. It was having intolerance to fan, drank no water and the face had a reddish discoloration around the mouth.
When I heard the child cry - it was a piteous and nagging one. The anxious, cranky chilly thirstless axis mad me ask her a confirmatory question of whether she bores into the nose." Yes, her hand has to be pulled away from her nose again and again", came the reply.
The drug given was CINA 200 - in one dose.
Next day: The mother reported that the child asked for food after 4 days; was less cranky and played for a little while alone.

But pus cells had risen to 80 - 90 h.p.f. and cough was more. But because pus cells are particular; and both were <.
Where as Generals of appetite was >, playing away from the mother was a General improvement. So, I waited with placebo.

Fourth Day : Fever had gone on the 2nd day,
Pus cells 0 - 5 h.p.f.,
Serum bilirubin came to 1.1mg.

The child was transformed into a playful, cheerful, independent, naughty child.

The chest X-ray came clear on the 6th day. Here Cina worked as an antibiotic, and anti-jaundice remedy and B'complex 'all-in-one' and all this in ONE DOSE.


Case 7 :-
Case of Acute Headache after Diarrhoea.

Lady aged 35 years, complaining of severe headache rang me up for help. "Headache is torturing me", she said. "Please cure me. But without asking me your whole set of questions. I can't come to your clinic because I can't sit there in chilled atmosphere for two - two hours. I know you will ask me my thirst. I feel like drinking lots of water." Most of the history which I required she had given me. I said, "Just one thing. Tell me whether you had a quarrel with someone just before this headache?". "No" was the answer." I will now tell you something. I'm SURE you've taken antibiotics for something
About 5 days back. "Yes, for diarrhoea" she said.
I knew Nux.Vom. was the remedy.
She was : 1. Mentally Anxious - chilly - thirsty and
2. Angry when obliged to answer.
She was either Bell, NV, Ars, China - from rubric No.1, or she requires Ars, NV, Ac-phos, Colo, Arn - angry when obliged to answer.

Chilly and large quantity of water means she was either Nux.V or Colo.

There was no ailment from anger, quarrel, vexation, etc. hence, Colo was ruled out. Only Nux.V was coming up.
Hence, my last question about antibiotics .

She was advised a dose of Nux.V. 200 after which she should expect transient loose, motions for a day as headache goes down.

She reported on the 3rd day saying, "I'm fine. All that you predicted came true.".


Case 8 :-
A child with Bronchitis.

A child of 2 years with Bronchitis starting after some work of repairs started at home. The child was cranky, wanted to be carried, wrapped up cozily in a blanket with the mother carrying a bottle of water which he would drink in-between crying spells.

Increased Activity - Mentally Anxious + Chilly + Thirst for little water often. -

Arsenic Alb 30 cured the child.
(The only other drug indicated - Anxious, Chilly, Thirsty - was Cina which was ruled out because there was no rubbing or boring of nose.)







Case 9:-

11 year old girl with Hyper Pyrexia : 105 degrees F.
She couldn't come to the clinic obviously because of excessive weakness with fever only of one day's duration. The mother said," She just covered up and was sleeping since afternoon. She didn't even get up to take tea or water. She's sweating like hell. Please come and see her." I said, "I can't come at least upto 11.30 p.m. I'll come and see her only after I have finished seeing all the patients but in the meanwhile, give this single dose to her and let me know within two hours from now.". It was 6.30 p.m. then. At 9.00 p.m., to my surprise, the 'girl' herself walked in saying, "Thank you, Uncle I'm fine. I just came to thank you and tell you don't take the trouble of coming for visit.".

Such results stun not only the patients, the allopathic world, but also the Homoeopaths themselves. The remedy was worked out on the following points :

Activity Decreased - sleep overpowering - chilly - thirstless and the triad of DROWSINESS + WEAKNESS + PERSPIRATION made me give her Ant.Tart 200 which made the MIRACLE.

Next day of hyperpyrexia, she resumed her school again.


Case 10 :-
A Homoeopath with hyperpyrexia

This is a case of hyperpyrexia about 105 degrees F of a homoeopath whose wife, also a homoeopath, rang me up saying, "My husband has got fever since two days partially responding to homoeopathic drugs. Very peculiarly, my husband goes into a peculiar delirious state as soon as the fever rise, he starts saying a sequence of words in Marathi, his mother tongue, which does not make sense at all but is quite rhyming. After this he wants all the family members to come and sit around him. He then starts giving lectures of advice to them. The lectures are on Hahnemann and Homoeopathy. He has 'BORED' us all since the last two days - especially at night he calls all of us. We all family members have not slept at all. But one thing is certain all family members have received full knowledge of Homoeopathy. Do something; We all are tired of his lectures on Homoeopathy. He is outright chilly and lively. Sir, I've tried Belladonna which relieved him slightly but now he is worse.".
Assessment : - (a) Makes verses
(b) Chilly
(c) Talks nothing but one subject
(d) Talks science of

A SINGLE DOSE OF CANN. I 200 first increased the fever slightly and then cured him with sense of well-being.




INCONCLUSIVE -CONCLUSION

After having gone through this book many an eyebrow will be raised. The sceptics and critics will have a field day, for I have given them food for thought. The mixture prescribers and single remedy similimum prescribers both may disagree with the pattern forwarded by me of Activity-Thermal-Thirst-Mental Axis. But then I have found this axis covering the holistic concept.. The remedy thus evolved is a representative of one of each of the constituents that man is made up of. Man as we all know is a part of the Universe and is made up of five essential elements or the 'Panchatatva' which is accepted by Hindus, Chinese, Buddhists, Judaists and Mohammedans alike.

These five elements are: Fire, Water, Air, Earth and Ether.

Ether represents the cosmic energy which is all-pervading and which controls the activities of this universe as well as the activities of man. The Activity-Thermal-Thirst Axis based similimum is a true representative of the holistic man since the Activity represents Ether, the Thermals i.e. the heat regulatory mechanism of the body represents Fire, and Thirst which controls the osmolality i.e. water content of the body represents Water.

This covers three of the five essential elements which each human being is made up of. To this we add either a symptom from air (mind) or earth (body). This covers the man as a whole. So, the drug prescribed has a representative from each of the elements and hence works holistically to give miraculous cures in incurable or advanced or serious cases with minimum effort. Above all, Hering's Law of Cure can also be observed in such cures. We will discuss more about it in my forthcoming book- The Theory of Chronic Diseases.

ACTIVITY DECREASED.

Sleep Overpowering

Dullness

ACTIVITY DECREASED.

A) SLEEP OVERPOWERING:-

This section constitutes all patients or constitution which become dull to such an extent that they sleep a lot during acute infections or fevers. The mother complains that the child who wakes up daily at 7 am slept today upto 12 noon, woke-up had something to eat and went back to sleep again. In short, need for sleep becomes great. Sleep overpowers all sense. The patient is difficult to arouse. This should be differentiated clinically from `sleep comatose' or Coma or unconsciousness. Here unlike the coma or unconsciousness the patient is fully alert when awake. His consciousness is not altered.

DULLNESS

By dullness we mean hypo-activity of mind and body. whenever any acute illness occurs certain constitutions reduce in activity.

Reduction in activity is obvious from the fact that these patients would like to lie-down on bed more than usual. Their voice does not have zest and vivacity. They just rest and sleep. They may not be in slumber or many not be in overpowering sleep.

Example: A doctor who was treated by a close friend of mine and for whom I was also consulted developed suddenly side-effects of Norflox antibiotic taken for some infection. The side-effect of Norflox was Psychosis. The 60yr old doctor started talking continuously in a loud voice. The 'talk' was so continuous that people hearing it would be tired, but the patient was not. This went on throughout the night, non-stop. When I visited him his face was 'flushed' and on seeing me he started - Prafulbhai, Prafulbhai, Prafulbhai; How are you, How are you, How are you, ? every question or sentence was being talked in a rhythm of three. Without waiting for reply he went on I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine. A dose of belladonna 30 administered by my friend Dr. Mehta, cured him completely to the surprise of the hospital authorities who were treating him in vain.

or the patient does not want others being troubled for him nor does he or she wants to miss his duties, work or school e.g. silicea.
