Zika virus

Zika Virus
Although India has so far not reported any case it the Zika virus but larger number of people suffering from degue.
The Aedes Aegypti mosquito whose bite transmit the disease is the same as the one that transmits Dengue and Chickengunya.
The hotter it gets, the better the mosquito that carries the Zika virus is transmitting dengerous illnesses. Zika is not life threatening and is self remitting disease.
Infected Aedes spices mosquito at time of delivery (not via breastfeeding or via blood transfusion and sexual contact
Symptoms. Fever, rash, joint pain, conjunctivitis muscles pain, and headache and incubation period is likely to be few days to a week. The virus usually remains in the blood of an infected person for about a week or longer.
Symptoms similar to those of Dengue and Chickengunya,.
Get plenty of bed rest and drink fluids to prevent dehydration.
Homoeopathic treatment.
Bryonia Alb 200 .if body pain and muscles pain Rhus tox 200 ,Eupatorium perf. 200 ,for rashes Polyporus Pinicola 1m .
For Ebola infected patients Lachsis 1m has shown excellent results. Three patients suffering from Ebola infected disease abroad, were discharged from the hospital soon after administered of Lachsis 1 M potency.
For Conjunctivitis two doses of Cinaabaris 10 M will completely cures the patients.
For Chickengunya Polyporus Pinicola 1m is best remedy to cure. This I have tried and cured so many patients.
Patients affected by Dengue fever Bryonia 200 is best remedy to cure this fever.

Chikungunya

Chikungunya or CHIKV,( chikungunya virus) is also often called a monsoon disease. This may be because there's an increase in the number or mosquitoes during the monsoon, which means that there is bigger probability of the disease being spread
Chicken guinea or chikungunya is virus that infected human when they get bitten by the Aedes mosquito that carries this virus. The Aedes aegyti is more likely to spread dengue and Aedes albopictus, the chikungunya virus. However both types of mosquitoes can spread both diseases. These mosquitoes can be found bitting throughout daylight hours though there may be peaks of activity in the early morning and late afternoon.
Symptoms of chikunguninea
The Symptoms are very similar to that dengue or or dengue fever. One cannot miss the prominent symptoms in a typical case of chikunguninea. After an incubation period of,3_12 days the following symptoms are noted.
High fever, headache
Overwhelming tiredness inability to complete normal chores
Pain and stiffness of the joints
Certain parts of the body which are in pain may also swell up.
Sleeplessness
Nausea
Ulcers in the mouth
Rashes on the body petechiae tiny purplish red spots on the skin or reddish measly rash usually on the extremities and upper body.
Eye infection
Severe weakness over a variable period of 5_7 days after the onset of symptoms.
It can be up to twelve days after infection that these symptoms begin to surface. However the Symptoms can begin as soon as two days after being bitten.
Acute stage
Chickenguinea fever affects all age groups and both genders are equally affected. .
Onset
Prodromal symptoms are rare. In the acute the onset is usually abrupt and sudden with high grade fever ( usually 102_105f) severe arthralgias, myalgias and skin rash,. Headache throat discomfort abdominal pain and constipation may also be evident. Conjunctial suffusion persistent conjunctivitis cervical or sometimes generalized lymphadenopathy maybe present.
Course of disease
The fever is usually of short duration and usually resolves in 3_4 days, in some patients a biphasic pattern of fever has been described with a febrile episode of 4 to 6 days followed by a fever free period of a few days followed by recurrence of fever ( usually 102_ 102 f) that may lost a few days.
Chronic stage
In a majority of the patients the joint pain resolve in 1 to 3 weeks. However the arthritis can persist in about 33 percent of patients for 4 months 15 percent for 20 months and 12 percent for 3_5 years.
Diagnosis
Several methods can be used for diagnosis.
A few patients develop Leucopenia
Elevated levels of aspartate aminotransferace ( AST) and C_reative protein
Mildly decreased platelet count.
Sorological tests, such as enzyme linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) may confirm the presence of IgM and IgC anti chikunguninea antibodies. IgM antibody levels are highest 3to 5 weeks after the onset of illness and persist for about 2 months.
Various reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction ( RT_ PCR) methods are available but are of variable sensitivity
Remedies
Polyporus pinicola 1m three doses for one day only.
Eupatorium perf 20 Potency after fever is over only body pain.
Joints pain after chikungunya Polyporus 6 c potency,
Bryonia Q odema and Pain in joints worse from movement.
Propylamin tri 30 pain in wrists and ankles worse motion tingling and numbness of fingers. After chikungunya.

Syphilis

Syphilis is an infectious disease caused by the spirochete Treponema pallidum which is aqired either sexually or through blood transfusion ( aquired syphilis) or in utero an infected mother ((congenital syphilis)
Aquired syphilis is classified as early and late syphilis early syphilis includes as primary, secondary and early laten ((arbitrarily defined as more than one year post infectious)
Syphilis and late syphilis includes late latent (defined as more than one year post infections) and tertiary syphilis.
The spiral bacterium.T. Palladium penetrates skin or intact mucous membranes easily through direct contact and disseminates rapidly via the blood and lymph circulation.These bacteria cause vascular changes like those seen in endarteritis and periarteritis. The intial lesion of primary syphilis develops at the site of the transmission after an incubation period of about 10 days to 3 months, and then heals spontaneously within 3 to 8 weeks. Even before the appearance of the lesion, the organsims have disseminated all over the body.
Secondary syphilis may seperimose on a primary lesion or may occur 4_10 weeks after its appearance and this stage has a wide range of presentation, predominantly affecting the skin, mucous membranes and lymph nodes. Symptomaric secondary syphilis usually resolves even without treatment and the disease then enters a laten stage which may be divided into early and late latent syphilis.
Early latent encompasses the first 1_2 years of the disease and is marked by occasional relapse of active secondary lesions. During late latent syphilis the patient remains asymptomatic and generally noninfectious.
About one third of untreated patients will develop tertiary syphilis, which may develop after yeras to decades and manifests as gummatous cardiovascular or neurosyphilis. Tertiary result in approximately 20 percent of untreated patients
Males have higher incidence than females and the condition is especially common during the years of peak sexual activity.

A careful clinic history with the duration and detailed description of all symptoms and lesions should be looked into, in suspected cases. A complete history including information about the use of condoms and the number and symptomatology of all parents should also be looked into.
Homoeopathic treatment
I have personally very little experience as far as treatment of syphilis is concerned, since with the introduction of sex education, media publicity and use of condoms, the incidence of syphilis has drastically reduced in the last one decade. It is very important that we do not mix up treatment of a disease with syphilitic miasm with the treatment of actual syphilis.
From the few cases of syphilis that i have seen in my practice in my life, I have learnt that to treat it one has to have a good understanding of the syphilitic miasm, with a sound knowledge of its of its treatment. from the Organon, the medicine and the chronic diseases. This is a very basic that one has to know before he starts treatment of syphilis.
Some important remedies
Anacardium
Syphilitic patients who often suffer from an impaired memory, depression and irriatibility diminution of the sense of smell sight and hearing burning in glans penis during and after urination. Dribbling of the prostatic fluid during stool.

LIPOMA

These benign tumors are slowly growing, well defined soft rounded, labulated and mobile modules composed of mature fat cells, arising from the adipose tissue in the subcutaneous layer of the skin.
There's no particular cause known.
Histopathology
The lesion consists of lobulated of normal fat cells held together by strands of connective tissue, which are enclosed within a capsule of connective tissue. Occasionally, eccrine sweat glands may be associated and then they are called as adenolipomas.
Clinical features
Lipomas are soft, lobulated subconscious modules varying in size and number. These grow very slowly and are generally not adherent to the overlying epidemis and can thus be moved freely on the underlying structures on palpitation. They are usually asymptomatic, but can become painful in cases of them causing pressure over the nerves.
These tend to occur anywhere on the body, but are usually seen on the neck, limbs back and shoulders.
Diagnosis
These are easy to diagnose with its typical clinical presentation and it typically slipping away from the palpating fingers on examination. In doubtful cases, a biopsy will confirm the diagnosis.
Differential diagnosis
An epidermoid cyst can resemble a lipoma, but the presence of central punctum helps make the correct diagnosis.
Angiolipomas are encapsulated, lobulated bengin tumours different histologically from a lipoma with its excessive degree of vascular proliferation and it being usually painful and tender to touch.
A lipoma which feels doughy and usually isn't tender moves readily with slight finger pressure.lipomas are usually detected in middle age.
Some people have more than one lipoma.A lipoma is not cancer and usually is harmless.
Generally small lipomas are typically less than 2 inches (5 centemers) in diameter but they can grow.
Sometimes painful limopas grow and press on nearby nerves or if they can contain many blood vessels.
Less frequently some lipomas can be deeper and larger than typical lipomas.
Treatment
In obese patients profuse sweating on head sensitive to cold air likes eggs Calc carb 200
Craving for sweets Sulphur 200
Painful lipomas Belladonna 200
High level cholesterol Thuja 1 m 
Composed of fat cells usually of mature form but occasionally in part or wholly of embryonal type Bar.carb alternately with Uric acid for outer application Thuja Q
Lapis alb and phytolacca
Specific remedy is Ferrum pic 3 x potency Four doses daily
Sycotic-co , Graphites, Calc flr, Siliceia, Epihysterinum, Aur Mur nat, Carcinosinum, Vaccininum are very useful to me for the same.
Remembering the fact the choice of selection was purely on Symptom similarity and not using them empirically
As far as lipoma is concerned my results have not been too satisfactory in my practice. Multiple limopas all over the body should never be accepted for Homoeopathic treatment, as you cannot resolve all the lipomas. Also don't give a false guarantee that after Homoeopathic treatment, one may not develop new lipomas.
I have seen so many Homoeopaths who encourage this, but ultimately they spoil the name of the science.Lipoma should not be considered 100 percent benign always, as sarcomatoid changes in benign limopas are known especially if located in the region of the thighs. Two rare medicines found most useful in my practice of lipomas are Bacillus no 10, a bowel Nosode and Uricum acidum.

Difficulties while treating Malaria

Difficulties while treating Malaria
Malaria is accompanied Other diseases.
It is not unusual that in quite number of cases malaria is complicated by anaemia, encephalitis, Internal bleeding, Typhoid and/ or jaundice. Though typhoid and jaundice are normally affected by contaminated water used for drinking purpose. Its intimacy with malaria could be traced to the inability of liver to perform its normal functions. Malaria directly affects the spleen, liver and thresultant weaking of these organs might be causing a situation whereby the immunity level of the human body is severely hampered, leading to the affliction by typhoon and jaundice, in conjunction with malaria. When malaria is thus accompanied by jaundice or typhoid, the situation is really grave and maximum care has to be taken that the patient gets enough attention.There are number of Homoeopathic medicines to take care of complications arising out of malaria and to take the patient out of dangerous situations.
Mixed symptoms
There are certain Symptoms which are common to malaria, typhoid and jaundice. Mixed symptoms of these diseases cause problems for correct diagnosis. Homoeopathy strictly follows symptom based treatment irrespective of the name of the disease one is suffering from.
Bronchitis or pneumonia should immediately draw the attention of the physician to the fact that there's possibility of typhoid for the patient under his are. Typhoid is normally contracted through water and food, clothes bed linen utensils and others tools commonly used. One reason for the malaria patient to get typhoid immediately is due to digestive disorders, impairment of the secretion of gastric juices. In addition the general defence system against the germs comes down due to malaria, thus paving a way for a typhoid malaria state.
Normally typhoid is contracted through impure drinks or eating food contaminated by salmonella bacteria. However the reason for co existence of typhoid in the patients affected by malaria is not properly under stood.
Normally typhoid bacteria cannot survive the​acid gastric secretion of the human system.
Combined presence of malaria typhoid and jaundice really through a challenge to the physician.This is more so on account of the identical Symptoms present in these  diseases. The art of repertorisation plays an important role here.
The physician should take note of the acute pain in the joints of the whole body, chilly sensation, intolerance to light heavily coated tounge etc.Concomitants, modalities and other fine points associated with the Symptoms lead one to select a correct similinum.
Malaria parasite are as follows
Plasmodium falciparum
Plasmodium vivax
Plasmodium malariae
Plasmodium ovale
Except plasmodium falciparum all three species of Anopheles have a secondary exoerthrocytic stage. Plasmodium vivax and plasmodium ovale do persist within the liver cells even after erythrocytes have become infected and may produce true relapse months or even years later.
In India two types of malaria are present they are
Plasmodium falciparum
Plasmodium vivax.

Remedies
The combination method consists of
Ars alb
China
Eupatorium per
Baptisa and
Menyanthes.
All in 30 c potency. This mixture has given Excellent results in treating the cases reported in Mumbai and Navi Mumbai. Nat mur 6 x four tablets twice a day could be complementary to this mixture.
To avoid relapse
Nat mur 200 C Potency five pills once every 15 days intervals for three months.
Other remedies
Aranea diadema
Capsicum
Chininum ars etc.

Gallbladder stones and disorders

Gallstones are lump of solid matter in the gall bladder and they form when there is a too much cholesterol or pigment in the bile. They start off as tiny globules that can grow up to the size of an egg. Gallstones are one of the most common disorders and are usually found in fat, fertlie famales.usually they are unsymptomatic ( called as silent gallstones which may never require treatment) .
Gallbladder is a little pear shaped organ underneath the liver that stores bile. Bile ducts are the tiny tubes that carry bile a liquid that helps
the body digest fats from the liver to the gallbladder and then into the diagestive systems​
While u can live with gallstones with no Symptoms if they start to block the gallbladder they cause pain and nausea vomiting and potentially fatal infections.
They can also stop the flow of bile out of the gallbladder and liver, so it backs up can causing jandiuce.
Treatments
Cheldonium Q
Chionanthus Q
Hyderatits Q in equal ten drops doses three-time daily
Cholesterinum 3 x three tablets half an hr before lunch and dinner
Fel tauri 30 c potency five drops or pills three times daily
Nat sul 30 potency one dose daily morning.
Second treatment
First five days drink four glasses of apple juice or eat 4/5 apples in a day what ever you want juice or apples. Apples softens the gallstones.
During those five days you can eat your normal meals.
On sixth day do not eat dinner.
At about 6 pm on the sixth day take a teaspoon full of Epsom salt ( Magnesia sulphurica) with a glass of warm water.
At 8 pm repeat the same Epsom salt
Epsom salt opens the failure of bile.
At 10 pm take half cup of Olive oil ( or Sesame oil) with half cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice mix well and drink.
The oil lubricants the stones and facilities their passage.
The next morning ( seventh day) you should find green stones in your stool.
Usually they float. You might wants to count them. I had people who find 40_50 or even upto 100 stones.
If you don't have any symptoms of gallstones you can take this natural therapy it is good to clear gallbladder clean.
