High cholesterol

High Cholesterol.
The main reason for high cholesterol in the blood is intake of excess calories. The primary way to reduce cholesterol to have a non refined, high fiber low glycemic index food. The secondary way to reduce cholesterol is by drugs. some common food items that can help.
Oats is a good breakfast food which is also healthy it is rich in dietray soluble fibre that helps prenveting absorption of cholesterol from the intenstines beta glucan is the soluble fiber present in Oats
Beans are also fiber rich and contain high amount of soluble fibre. eating acup of beans can lower cholesterol by asmuch as10 per cent in six weeks. any kind of beans can be consumed such as kidney, black white. etc.
Fish. like mackrel herring tuna and salmon are rich in omega3 fatty acids which ourbody does not synthesise and so we have to be taken from an external source. omega3 fatty acids lower the triglyceride's level and increases good cholesterol[HDL).eating fish at least twice a week will redu4cholesterol.
Nuts around30 gms daily are high in calories but taken in moderation they give immense health benefits.
Fruits. are rich in fibers like avocado are rich in mono unsaturated fatty acids like omega3 .
Cardamom. Regular consumption one gram daily treats high cholesterol levels and reduces high blood pressure thus loweing the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
The main problem starts when cholesterol is present in the blood more than required quantity. the total cholesterol level in the blood should be less than200 mg/dl. if the cholesterol is in excess amount then it may get deposited in the blood vessels of the heart and brain and cause obstruction to blood flow to these regions which may leads to heart attack or stroke.

Placenta previa

Placenta previa is a pregnancy complications. During pregnancy the placenta grows inside, the lining of the uterus., Connecting to the umbilical cord, which carries oxygen and nutrients to the unborn child while moving waste away.
The uterus or the Womb has three parts, the fundus , the body and the cervix, which links the uterus to the vagina. In early pregnancy it is normal for the placenta to be positioned low in the uterus.As pregnancy advances the uterus stretches and grows , with the placenta typically moving to the top of the uterus. This allows the cervix, or the entrance to the womb, at the bottom of the uterus, a clear path for delivery.
In the condition called placenta previa. Which occurs in about 1 in 200 pregnancies, the placenta is positioned lower down and may partly or completely cover the cervix.
As a result, when the cervix opens during labour, it can cause the blood vessels connecting the placenta to the uterus to tear , leading to bleeding and thus putting both the mother and baby at risk.
While the exact causes remains unknown, women at a higher risk for placenta previa, among others include women.

With previous placenta previa, previous Caesarean delivery or any other type of surgery on the uterus
Younger than,20 and older than 35
Cigarettes smokers or cocaine users
Who have been pregnant before.
Pregnant with more than one baby.
Usually a diagnosis of placenta previa may only be made after a routine ultrasound done transvaginally  has superior accuracy as continue a transabdominal one. An MRI may be done to determine the location of the placenta.
However given that the placenta is often lower in the uterus during the early part of pregnancy. These initial signs are not necessarily cause for worry.
Symptoms
Cramps or sharp pain
Bleeding that starts,stops and begins again days or weeks later.
Bleeding After intercourse
Bleeding during the second half of pregnancy. Women with placenta previa often present with sudden painless and light to heavy bleeding from the vagina, usually around 32 weeks of gestation. But it can occur as early as the late mid trimester. The bleeding will start as mild, increasing as the area of placenta separation increases.
Although traditionally mothers would receive in hospital treatment from the first bleeding, episode until birth, however if the foetus is at less than 30 weeks of gestation and neither the mother nor the foetus are in distress, it is now considered safe to treat these mothers .
The attending obstetricians will decide the treatment.
Advice
Bed rest as much as possible.
To avoid sex
Prescribe medicines to prevent premature labour.
Give blood transfusion if needed.
Teach how to recognise alarming symptoms and see help.
An immediate delivery may be indicated if the foetus is mature or if the foetus or the mother are in distress.Depending on the distance between the placenta and the internal opening, a vaginal delivery could be attempted In the presence of the consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist.
Given that a diagnosis of placenta previa can be alarming. It is important for the expectant mother to be educated, it is also important for at risk pregnant women to find ways to enjoy the advised bed rest and pamper themselves.
Homoeopathic medicines.
Specific remedy is Sepia
Caullophylim
Pulsatilla
Swelling of the lower extremities of thighs or even external parts of sexual organs odema with prostration irregular pulse coldness of extremities ARS alb
Discharge of lochia continues beyond three weeks and for unduly long time then Secale cor 3x
If placenta not expelled nor detached within an hour of delivery then Pulsatilla 200 or Secale 30 every 15 minutes
Adhered placenta for no reason developed the habit of Adhered at each delivery, Hydrastis 3 x has the power to stop that habit by giving it in 3 x potency five drops daily once from the third month of the pregnancy onwards. For two months.

Gestation Diabetes mellitus ( GDM)

Gestation diabetes mellitus( GDM) is a condition that typically develops during the third trimester of pregnancy It affects women with no previous diagnosis of diabetes and is characteristerised by high blood glucose levels.
What is GDM ?
Diagnosed during pregnancy, gestational diabetes. Just like type 1 and type 2: diabetes. Causes blood sugar levels to become too high. A pregnant body is naturally more resistant to Insulin to ensure that enough glucose is available to nourish the baby. The problem arises when the pancreases fail to keep up with increased demand for Insulin during pregnancy.When the cells don't use the glucose, the blood sugar levels rise too high, and this results in gestational diabetes.GDM is not permanent. After delivery, blood swill most likely return to normal quickly. But having gestational diabetes increases the risk of developing diabetes in future.
GDM Impact
The chance of birth defects is almost nil. However, the extra blood glucose goes through the placenta, giving the baby high blood glucose levels. This causes the baby's pancreas to make extra Insulin to get rid of the blood glucose.Since the baby is getting more energy than it needs to grow and develop, the extra energy is stored as fat.This may lead to macrosomia or fat baby further making vaginal delivery difficult.Also due to there  extra Insulin made by baby's pancreas, these new born may have V low blood glucose levels at birth and are at higher risk for breathing problems.Babies with excess Insulin become children who are at risk of obesity and grow into adults who are at risk for type 2 diabetes. As for the mother infections., Hypertension( preeclampsia)  , increased chances of operative delivery and economical and social impact due to frequent dr. Consultations and frequent investigations are some of the effects.
Diet for managing GDM
Eat small frequent meals 3 meals and 3 snacks
Ensure a regular intake of low glycemic index., Carbohydrate, low in fat and sugar.
Avoid fruit juices, eat the fruit instead.
Include protein in diet.
Avoid artificial sweeteners.
Monitor glucose levels.
Maintain a weight.

Ovarian common Disorders

The ovaries produce and store a woman's eggs and are also responsible for making the hormones (particularly sex steroids) that affect the development and function of the reproductive tract while also having an effective on the muscles, bone and skin .
Ovarian disorders thus have the potential to affect both a woman's fertility and the hormonal balance. Once menopause is reached the ovarian function decline.
Ovarian problems.
Ovarian cancer Is generally likely to be happen in women over age 50 , although it can affect younger women.The cause remains unknown earlier detention gives better chances of recovery.However there may be mild in nature until the disease is in an advanced stage, making it difficult to treat.
Ovarian cysts.
Cysts are fluid filled sacs that usually do no harm and go away by themselves. Most women are likely to have them sometime in their life. The cysts are rarely cancerous in women under 50 . They may be incidentally detected during a pelvic Examination. The cysts may produce no symptoms or cause some pain or discomfort.
In women who are in the child bearing age are past menopause and have cysts can just be monitored.For those who are past menopause, experiencing pain or for whom the cysts do not go away,.
Polycystic ovarian syndrome or the stein leven Thal Syndrome affects one in every 10 women. Not only is it the leading cause of female infertility but also a risk factor for diabetes, cancer,heart disease and other life threatening illnesses.
An under diagnosed condition, it may involve a combination of disorders associated with an excess of male hormones (androgens) and irregular or no periods and a small overian cysts .
While the exact cause of PCOS remains unknown, experts estimate that 70 to 80 percent of the cases are genetic and women who are obese are more likely to develop PCOS .
Those suffering from PCOS are great risk for dometrial , ovarian and breast cancer. There is no cure for PCOS  and treatment focuses on managing and slowing the progression of symptoms.
Pre Mature ovarian failure ( POF ) or premature menopause is a condition where woman's ovaries stop working before she is 40 . Unlike menopause, some women with POF still have occasional periods. The condition can be natrul or cause by surgery, chemotherapy or radiation.
The first sign of POF are usually missed periods. Later symptoms resemble those of natrul menopause Diagnosis is based on a physical exam and lab and imaging tests.
Most women with POF are unable to get pregnant naturally. Fertility treatment may help a few women, while others need to use donor eggs to have children.
Ovarian Torsion , the 5 th common gynaecological emergency, is the partial or complete rotation of the ovary on the ligamentous support by which it is suspended within the abdomen, often critically limiting the blood supply to the ovary. While the presence of an overian mass increase the likelihood of torsion , even normal ovaries are at risk of torsion.
The classic presentation includes acute onset of moderate to serve pain with nausea and vomiting. The management of ovarian Torsion is to mitigate the effects of the decreased blood flow to the ovary with reversal of the torsion.
Awareness regular checks and not neglecting early symptoms Will help early diagnosis of all the ovarian conditions, prevent complications and increase chances of recovery.

How to Use Repertory G .I. Bidwell

Every one who wishes to use repertory should read Bidwell's famous booklet How to use the Repertory.
It is the complete essence of the knowledge of everything needed to practice our system, and nit merely referring to the repertory. Please try out this method with other repertories and see the results.
Boy aged 14 , epileptic attacks for three years. First attack followed fright caused By other boy's make believe to hang him . Attacks increasing in frequency until at this time they occur every two weeks.
Symptoms
Attack begin by running around in circle , then falls down unconscious.
Attacks are more frequent in cold dry weather and during new moon
Involuntary urination during the attack.
Boy explains of always being cold, wants to keep warm both summer and winter, he is very touchy, everything makes him cry , seems depressed all the time. Appitet either ravenous or wanting . Aversion to all kinds of sweets, of which he was previously very fond.

Repertory Analysis
Under complaints caused by fright we find thirty-six remedies. Of these the following twenty one have the symptoms on the first and second grade.
1 Caused by fright Aconite Apis Arg nit Aur Art v Bell Causticum Coff  Cupr Gels Glonoine Hyoscyamus Ign Lach Nat M Nux vom Op Plat Pul Rhux tox.
2 Sadness and depressed Aconite Arg nit Bell Causticum Gels Ign Lach Nat M Plat Pul .
3 Worse by cold dry weather Aconite Causticum
4 Aversion to sweets Causticum.
We have arrived at the solution of the case by four steps and have used all general symptoms. Now you may ask why did we start with rubric complaints caused by fright? First. This is a general symptom we are working from general to particulars .
Second, This condition was caused in this boy by fright.This mental shock was so profound that it caused the whole condition of this patient to be changed. It not only produced the epileptic seizure, but affected his desires as well. Some one of the remedies found under this rubric would be the one . Which will cover the totality of the case.The second symptom we will take is another general __ sadness and depression. We take this rubric from the fact that it mental condition produced by derangement of the patient's most internal condition, the mind.Now if we hope to cure this case we must have have a remedy, which had produced this symptom in the provers , so among our first twenty-one we find eleven with this symptom in the first and second grade. Another general condition is the modality that attacks are Worse in cold dry weather.Among the eleven remedies found in the first two rubrics we find only two, which are worse in cold dry weather. In order to decide which of these two will cover our case we will take the general aversion to sweets. Here we find that Causticum is the only remedy, which covers our rubrics.If our reasoning has been correct, if the technique of  selection is without a flaw , Causticum must be mathematically correct remedy, and turning to our Materia Medica we find that the pathogenesis of Causticum nit only contains the rubric we have used in our analysis, but the remaining symptoms of our case as well . Therefore Causticum is the remedy we Will give.Our records show that two doses of this remedy were administered with the following results.
The attacks lessened during the first month to one one , the second attack , a very slight one ,did not follow for seven weeks, and now , after an interval of a year and half , there has been no sign of a return, so we may safely say the boy is cured .
