Homeopathic Treatment of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

Guest Post Written by Dr. Navneet Bidani (The Author)

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) has been an officially recognized illness since 1980 and it may be defined as the development of significant anxiety, fear, helplessness and horror after exposure (experienced or witness) to trauma, defined as an event associated with either actual or threatened death or injury to oneself or another. Individuals experience associated symptoms of detachment and loss of emotional responsivity. The patient may feel de-personalized and unable to recall specific aspects of the trauma, though typically it is re-experienced through intrusions in thoughts, dreams, or flashbacks, particularly when cues of the original event are present.

Lives saved by Homeopathy in Epidemics and Pandemics

Guest Post Written by Iman Navab (The Author)

Both Epidemic and Pandemic refers to the spread of infectious diseases among a population. The term pandemic indicates a far higher number of people affected in much larger geographical area than epidemic. Mortality rate is number of deaths per 1000 individuals per year. Genus epidemicus means that the treatment protocol of an epidemic disease is designed based on the collected signs and symptoms of a large group of patients in the same geographical area.

Homeopathy has been a boon to the patients of scarlet fever, typhus fever, yellow fever, Pneumonia, Cholera, Influenza, Hepatitis, Dengue, Leptospirosis and Conjunctivitis during the times of pandemics and epidemics.

Obesity and Homeopathy

Guest Post Written by Dr. Sayeed Ahmad…

Weight bears the relationship with age, sex and bone structure. An excess of 50 calories per day can increase about 25 Kilograms (Kgs) in a period of ten years.

It is estimated that an active person will burn about 12-13 calories a day per pound of body weight. Therefore, a person having weight 140 pounds will need roughly 1700-1800 calories a day to maintain that weight, and less to reduce it.

It may therefore be suggested to an obese adult to stick to his daily diet providing 1300 KiloCalorie (Kcal) which may help in reducing about 0.5 – 1 Kg a week.

Breathing Difficulties and Homeopathy

She was obese like Calcarea, her eyes were smiling and hopeful like Phosphorus, she had puffed upper eyelids like Kali Carb and also slight bags under the lower eyelids like Apis M…. I smiled back, unlike the other patients around her, she was ready to laugh at any joke, I felt so happy with her and said,” When do you want to leave this ward ?”, she almost laughed at it .. alas the windpipe did not allow the vocal chords to produce a sound……

Guest Post Written by Uta…

The practitioner has to be there, qualitatively, with the patient in the consultation [6-8]. This he may express by being empathic and understanding towards the patient [7]. A form of mutual trust [4] of practitioner and patient aids in abolishing discomfort and may provide security in the therapeutic union. This trust may be further deepened by the practitioners’ expression of acceptance and non-judgement towards the patient and his case.

No more Tension on Hypertension

Guest Post Written by Dr. Muhammed Rafeeque

In common usage, many people consider some normal body functions and even the name of some organs as diseases. For example: Blood Pressure (BP), Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate(ESR), Blood sugar, Cholesterol, Thyroid, Gastric, etc. are considered as names of diseases. You might have noticed even educated patients saying, “Doctor, I have Thyroid, BP and ESR”.

Hypertension is not a disease, but a chronic medical condition in which the blood pressure in the artery is elevated. Initially, high BP was found among middle aged, but unfortunately, nowadays, even the youngsters are affected.

In order to get the accurate BP, it should not be checked immediately after food, exercise, coffee, drinks, smoking, mental stress, etc. The subject should take adequate rest for at least 5 minutes before checking. While checking, the cuff and the apparatus should be at same level of the heart of the subject. The handcuff should not be too tight or too loose (It should allow only one finger)

I think we are all aware of the idea of what a placebo is and what the placebo effect must therefore be, but, when you stop and think about the manipulation of reality that the blanket term “placebo” covers, you have to reconsider both what the term means and what the implication of its existence

Bigots vs Time-Tested Medicine

Guest Post Written by Iman Nawab (The Author)

Bigots

Hahnemann said, “medicine requires a thorough reform from top to bottom. What should not be done is done, and what is essential is utterly neglected”

Hering said, “I owed to it far more than the preservation of a finger. To Hahnemann who had saved my finger, I gave my whole hand, and to the promulgation of his teachings, not only my hand, but the entire man, body and soul”

Homeopathy for Infants

Guest Post Written by Dr. Syed Furqan Ahmed (The Author)

INTRODUCTION

Infants are a gift of life to human race, a little one in anguish is the last thing anyone would want to see, but the fact is that these little lovely angels do get sick and very often they require medical intervention to return to the playful happy health.
Mothers are usually the first one to know and inform others that there is something wrong with the child, they see, feel, smell and think of their children every second of the day.

Science, Evidence-based Medicine and CAM…..it´s controversial!

Guest Post Written by Uta Mittelstadt (The Author)

Introduction

Patients are increasingly making their own healthcare their own responsibility, and are becoming more selective in what treatment and therapies they use in their recovery from illness. Dissatisfaction with conventional treatment that is indifferent of a holistic view of health, may produce more or less severe side-effects, or even concomitant diseases, makes patients seek new approaches for relief of their suffering. Frequently, the choice is an alternative and complementary medical discipline…………………
