Symptoms in children

ADHD can be easily diagnosed in children but they should be closely watched in home and at school. The most usual symptoms of attention deficit in children are failure to pay attention, difficulty to follow instructions, aversion to works involving mental effort, easily distracting natureand those of hyperactivity are fidgeting with hands and feet as well as squirming in seat, being unable to stay steady they keep running and usually can’t play games which make them sit still, they keep on interrupting the conversations of their elders, suddenly run across the roads which cannot be anticipated and taken care by the parents. Usually children above 6-7 yrs age will be sensible and circumspect in their behaviour in the presence of strangers, guests and in particular in a doctor’s office. ADHD should be strongly suspected and treated homoeopathically when this sensible and circumspect nature is absent in a child, making them behave in an unmanageable and self-willed manner in the presence of strangers and even before doctor in a clinic without obliging the words of parents and elders.

Symptoms in adults

In fact this is a hard phase to diagnose in the early stages as the monitoring is difficult. The usual symptoms with which it can be traced out during studies are underscoring, failure in completing the assignments, absenteeism and even dropping out from school or colleges; in professional life frequent change of jobs, bad reviews on account of failures in accomplishing the tasks, abrasive behaviour with colleagues; in personal life they face problems in marital life which lead to divorces; in social life alcohol and drug addiction, disorganization and failure to manage financial resources.

Homoeopathic outlook

As far as homoeopathy is concerned, it is nothing but restlessness in an extreme degree and simply to speak it is an unusually refractory nature which can be traced out in their parents with a strong history of cancers, epilepsy and T.B. in the family tree. Usually parents attribute it to pampering made by the elders which is not the sole cause in a definite case of ADHD and so, should be taken serious as it may lead to personality disorders in adult life profoundly affecting the studies, career, marital and social life leading to alcohol and drug abuse, if neglected. The children should be placed under genuine homoeopathic treatment as early as it is noticed as the conventional treatments do not offer permanent cure which is frequently the case with most of the psychiatric disordersDisorders
Most of the other systems of medicine view mental diseases as an independent entity without any relation with the other physical ailments. The uniqueness of homoeopathy lies in not only foreseeing the future cancerous conditions in an ADHD child of unusually refractory (uncontrollably mischievous) nature but also treating the present condition on one hand and simultaneously making the child free from the cancerous mishaps in future on the other hand.

Cause

People loosely attribute the cause of allergy to pollen, dust, hair, wool, feathers, mosquito bites, preservatives in food etc. But homoeopathy reckons them all to be mere exciting factors, the real cause being susceptibilitySusceptibility
The chief cause of any natural disease which declines all other so called causes such as bacteria, viruses …. of that individual to that particular substance and disease.

Evil consequences of Anti-allergic drugs

The anti-allergic treatments being directed over the over sensitiveness of nervous system tend to cause the benumbing of nervous system which makes it dull and underactive. The side effects not confining to nervous system spread to other systems. Sedation or drowsiness being the most common and early side effect, there will be many evil consequences such as gradual blunting of senses; weakening of memory and intelligence; cloudy, depressive moods; slowing down of all bodily functions such as digestion, urination etc., occur from long term usage of anti-allergics and the long term usage is always a compulsion as the short term usage of drugs only helps in mitigating the present episode of allergy. One of the other evil consequences is that if in some cases the superficial allergies yield to these drugs, there appears a more serious allergy in a transformed manner as for example allergic coryza landing into asthma; urticarial rashes landing into asthma or conjunctivitis etc.,.

Homoeopathic Treatment

Homoeopathy, having the capability of eradicating the susceptibility, offers a quality life to the allergic individuals by making them non-reactive to those exciting factors even if they are exposed to them without any complication what so ever.

Mischief by Iron intake

Diet & Regimen

Instead of supplying iron crudely, it should be supplemented through leafy vegetables, dry dates, dry fruits like anjir, raisins etc., ragee malt is also advisable.
Any exercise whatsoever should be stopped because, take for instance an individual has only 50% of haemoglobin in her blood which means only 50% of the required amount of oxygen is only being pumped by the heart to the tissues all over the body. Oxygen, being such an essential factor without which the tissues and cells cannot survive, should be supplied in full. For this to be done smoothly, the heart is compelled to work double its normal function. To conclude in a single sentence a single heart is supplying blood to two such bodies at a time. One can understand how much load it is taking on and owing to it there may be even increase of blood pressure i.e., the hypertension which should not be lowered one-sidedly without treating the underlying condition viz., the anaemia as it creates further pressure over heart. All the above said are when the individual is at rest. One can imagine now what happens when such an individual is exposed to undue stress and strain (particularly physically) which may even lead to enlargement of heartEnlargement of heart
The overgrowth of heart musculature when compelled to work beyond their normalcy is what ….. So it is almost a compulsion to such individuals to take absolute rest until the haemoglobin levels are increased sufficiently through genuine homoeopathic treatment.

Coming to the facts, the life span of RBC is at around 100 days. In every living human being the blood cells are periodically destroyed and as well produced simultaneously by using some of the elements from the destroyed cells. It is an uninterrupted process from birth to death.

When we probe into the vital processes in health, the vital energy of the system is constant and is distributed all over the body to perform various functions harmoniously from growth of hair on top to growth of nails down. The acts of respiration, circulation, digestion, thinking, sensing etc., are all included in it. As is the act of destruction of blood cells and production of the same by using some of the elements in the destroyed cells. When once some blood is drained out from the body, the system is compelled to replace the blood as it is indispensable to life. In doing so, the system is forced to divert some of its precious energy for the fresh production of blood from those parts of the body(resulting in depletion of energy there)that which are easily susceptible to diseases. Consequently those parts and functions of the body fall prey to the disease depending upon the genetic inheritance like dyspepsia, paralysis, epilepsy etc.There are many untoward consequences from these loss of fluidsLoss of fluids
One of the most frequent but often neglected and a potent cause of diseases is …..

Conclusion

This is not to say that blood donation, in service oriented nature, is wrong. Blood donation on one occasion and on a second occasion when in emergency is also somewhat allowed, but repeated donation without taking into consideration a person’s health standards is not advisable.

The reason behind the increasing incidence of Psychological disordersPsychological disorders
True psychological disorders cannot be dispelled with counselling, instead …. such as anxiety, depression etc., can be easily traced out to denying of expression of our emotions. We can’t express our fear of dogs, ghosts and such others from thoughts of humiliation before others. We can’t express our anger from fear of non co-operation from other or others being superior to us. We can’t express our success and the joy resulting from it, to avoid others attention and envy upon us. We can’t express our grief from fear of demeaning ourselves before others. At least we can’t express our devotion to God openly and keep it reserved to express at temples, churches etc. Hence with every instance of suppressing our emotion there falls a seed to some physical ailment such as gastric ulcer,hypertensionHypertension
Clinically it is said that mere increase of blood pressure levels beyond 120/80 mm of hg is hypertension, but …. etc., or a mental ailment like anxiety neurosis, depressive disorders etc.

In the same way we are denying the expression of physical complaints especially skin complaintsSkin complaints
Skin is the most safest part and so complaints appearing over it are indubitably safe when compared to ….. There are many people who say they prefer to suffer from internal complaint like joint pains or diabetes even though they are troublesome rather than, suffer from an unsightly skin complaint, though safe. Likewise we are denying the expression of a safer epidemic like chicken pox which has got affinity to skin. But nature doesn’t stay calm and rebounds with an expression in the form of a more troublesome epidemic like chikun gunya or mumps. If even these are denied expression, it is attacking in the form of life threatening epidemics like swine flu, haemorrhagic dengue or plague etc.

If we take the case of a dental decay, the internal disease process of decaying (which is evident sometimes and at other times not) gets manifested externally as offensive breathing or bad odour of mouth. People usually use some peppermint or other flavoured paste as a remedy to the decay and remain free from the bad odour, but the decaying process advances further under currently. This point is confirmed on innumerable occasions with decay of teeth even though the individual is habituated to clean his teeth once or twice daily. Any amount of such dental hygiene can’t prevent the dental caries without treating and curing the tendency to cariesTendency to caries
Tendencies playing the most vital part in the production of diseases, they are to be ….. This can be aptly compared to a blockage of drainage channel. Usage of pastes without radical removal of caries through homoeopathic treatment is nothing but using a room refreshner without clearing the blockage of drain, and remaining insensible to the putrid odours of effluents which is a temporary solution, the permanent solution being removal of blockage. Thus the denial of bad odour of breath by using pastes does not relieve the underlying caries, which in fact is favouring its progress by making ourselves insensible to the bad odour.

Homoeopathy believes in curing the disease by expressing it. The more expressive the disease is, the easily curable it is and the vice versa the less expressive the disease is, the more incurable it becomes.

Any how the concept of inheritance in homoeopathy differs from what is said in allopathy. Allopathy speaks of inheritance of disease i.e., allopathy says a disease is hereditary if the same disease occurs in two generations for eg: colour blindness. But homoeopathy speaks of inheritance of disease tendency. For example cancerous tendency is inherited from previous generation. This tendency takes the form of live cancer if he is an alcoholic; lung cancer if he is a chronic smoker; mouth cancer if he is a prolonged tobacco chewer. Likewise an infective tendency may be inherited, the expression of tendency differing as tonsillitis, hepatitis, pneumonitis, appendicitis etc. A spasmophilic Spasmophilic
The tendency to spasmodic complaints such as asthma, epilepsy, spasmodic dysmenorrhoea etc., …tendency may be inherited, the manifestation of that tendency differing as epilepsy, spasmodic asthma, dysmenorrhoea (pain during menses), whooping cough etc.

Thus the disease tendency is inherited but the particular manifestation of disease differs owing to diet, mode of living, social factors, psychological conditions. There may be many conditions which may be inherited such as glandular, neuralgic, paralytic tendencies etc. The family history of the patient and its careful tracing decides the inherited tendencies which the present patient is likely to suffer from. For this reason the noting down of family history plays a major role in the study and analysis of any case particularly when it is a chronic disease.

In saying true psychiatric disordersPsychiatric disorders
A human mind is an equipoise mixture of emotions, reasoning, judgement and memories., there arises the point of unreal psychological disorders which are commonly met with in day to day living. The reason for the increased incidence of these unreal psychological disorders is the segregation attitude in human thinking i.e., attitude of segregation dominating the sense of social living.

The manifestation of the segregation attitude can be perceived in its root stages in the gradual fading away of combined family culture where one has a choice for congenial persons among the many family members with whom one can share his thoughts and emotions and get relieved from the emotional burn away to lead a peaceful life thereafter. With the gradual perishing of that family culture, unfortunately, the segregation attitude is progressing further with segregation between families, segregation from friends, segregation among family members first starting with children and later with the life partner, at last leaving the individual alone with no body to share their feelings and express their emotions. This lack of expression is the root of many unreal psychological and emotional disorders which is an unfortunate and regrettable by-product of so much boasted civilisation.

Conclusion

In these cases, where people are denied expression of their emotions, counselling to some extent serves to relieve the individual from his emotional burn away. Even in these cases where ailments start from suppressed emotion like anger, grief, fear and joy genuine homoeopathy treatment is an ideal and permanent solution to make the individual completely healthy.

Homoeopathic outlook

Relaxation of musculature occurs from loss of tonicity in muscular elements like tendons, ligaments etc., which owe their background to deep seated affections like tuberculosis, cancer etc in the family history. Homoeopathy sees this relaxation in the flabby built of an individual which runs all through. Those who are of lax fibred nature are more prone to these complaints. A common feature in such individuals is spongy nature of gums leading to looseness of teeth and their fall in an unusually early age preceded by bleeding from gums on brushing, pressing or sucking etc.

As per homoeopathy consciousness of a part or function suggests the beginning phases of disease. This being the subtlest form, manifestation of disease in the form of a structural change or laboratory findings shows its grosser and advanced phases. For example we never feel the presence of stomach unless a complaint like burning of stomach starts which is the subtle expression of future most probable grosser disease, a peptic ulcer. Likewise we never notice the presence of knee until there is pain in it, presence of eye until there is change in vision, presence of skin until there is itching, urine unless it is offensive, so on and so forth which are signs of nascent stages of some or the other disease. Similarly the acts of respiration and heartbeat drawing our attention clearly suggests the diseased symptoms of dyspnoea and palpitation correspondingly. So, whatever you do viz., Jogging, running, swimming or playing beyond one’s threshold limit (resulting in the symptoms of dyspnoea, palpitation and profuse sweating) turns out to be an exertion which is nothing but inducing disease. To summarize in a single sentence a healthy exercise is one which does not draw our attention towards it such as the domestic works of washing clothes, cleaning utensils and floor by sitting down which prevents the accumulation of fatty tissue in its favoured sites viz, lower abdomen, buttocks and thighs. Similarly going on foot daily to purchase a news paper or fresh vegetables or walking with other purposes are all healthy exercises. One most important thing is that slow walking in natural open air in early morning is always preferable to walking on treadmill in a closed room.

Similarly a mischief which is becoming most prevalent in youth is calisthenics done in gyms to develop a strong or graceful physique. If we take a case of heart enlargement the overgrowth of heart musculature is an evil consequence of over work beyond their capacity, hence named work hypertrophy of heart. The overgrowth of muscles on working in a gym is serious and injurious similar to heart enlargement. As we study in physics brittleness is proportionate to hardness. So only we observe breakdown in professional players who play beyond their capacity for fame, money and such other things as compared to children who play only for joy.

The basic principles of homoeopathy such as the removal of root cause or internal factor which is running the disease and curing a disease without resulting in any complications can be best explained with the homoeopathic outlook of this disease.

As far as other systems are concerned rise of blood pressure beyond 120/80 mm of Hg. is considered as hypertension. Bringing down the blood pressure levels to 120/80 mm of Hg is considered as cure. The symptoms associated with it and which externally manifest the whole internal derangement are not of much value. If at all they value it, they attempt to mitigate them symptomatically without having an integrated outlook of the whole phenomena. For example if we reckon a case of early stages of kidney failure where there is necessity of increased blood pressure to continue the filtration of urine without interruption, it can be called a case of essential hypertension. Similarly in a case of profound anaemia the heart will be forced to work double (or even more) than its normal potential to supply adequate oxygen to the tissues which may lead to increase of blood pressure. So in cases where the hypertension is essential, it is not advisable to reduce the blood pressure one-sidedly without treating the factors that are responsible for the hypertension. The antipathic treatments intended to reduce the hypertension may even result in enlargement of heart owing to work hypertrophy.

Homoeopathic outlook

In every case of hypertension, homoeopathy tries to trace out the causal factor which is responsible for the increase of blood pressure. In the process of covering the disease on a whole, homoeopathy also includes the external manifestation of the internal derangement so that the disease in its whole extent is eradicated i.e., the causal factor and its clinical manifestation viz. hypertension gets cured.

Surgery and its consequences

Surgery is advised when there is swelling of thyroid gland i.e. goitre, particularly performed, in colloid goitre, tumours and hyperthyroidism not responding to iodine treatment and anti-thyroid drugs. But the consequences are bound to occur, though hormones are supplemented from outside, as the thyroid hormones are very vital in maintaining the basal metabolism. One of the miserable complications which profoundly affects the quality of life following thyroidectomy is myasthenia gravis which features abnormal fatigue when manual work is done as for example a house wife begins to drop trays towards the end of the day, a traveller drags his legs as he walks or climbs stairs, a lecturer’s voice may fall to a whisper at the end of his discourse, eye lids start to droop down, dropping of jaw, head falls back or forwards on watching cinema or T.V. for long periods and general muscular fatigue towards evening etc.

Homoeopathic outlook

Most of the other systems think of supplementing the hormones in these cases which is not quite a wise thing to do as it always carries the risk of over or under dosage on account of failure in assessing the exact condition each time which varies basing on the physical and psychological factors at that time. Homoeopathy thinks of stimulating the system to secrete the adequate quantity of desired hormones instead of crude supplementation of them which is a fallacious approach as far as principles are concerned. In most of the cases it is rich of deep seated disorders like cancers in the family history. Also associated with it are white discharge or leucorrhoea, delayed menses from polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and history of abortions. Some patients may have uncommon symptoms of the disease such as abnormal and insatiable hunger, oily sweat etc.

Prevention

The greatest asset of Homoeopathy is that Hypothyroidism can be prevented, through genuine homoeopathic mode of treatment, far before its clinical onset by recognizing it with the symptom of unusual sleepiness day and night initially before or during menses, later during pregnancy, prior to its stabilization in the economy as overpowering sleepiness day and night regularly.

The functional causes for infertility

In females:

They are relaxation of vaginal sphincter giving scope for gushing out of seminal fluid as soon as it is ejaculated by the male into the vagina (fluor seminis); vaginismus (spasm of vagina), excessive secretion of mucous i.e., leucorrhoea in the female genitals flushing out the seminal fluid during sexual intercourse; excessive sexual desire and masturbation; copious menstrual flow, irregular menses and leucorrhoea without any organic lesions etc.

In males:

Impotency or partial erection of penis; excessive sexual desire and masturbation; immotile or less active sperms in the semen are potent enough to cause sterility in males.

Curability:

These are best cases of infertility to be treated under homoeopathy as they can be set right with medication without resorting to mechanical procedures like IVF (in vitro fertilization) etc.

The structural causes for infertility

In females:

They are cervical polyp, uterine fibroid, uterine hypoplasia, occlusion of fallopian tubes (tubal blocking), pelvic endometriosis, cysts in ovaries such as in polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) etc.

In males:

Testicular damage following mumps, smallpox, varicocele, huge hydrocele, genital duct obstruction following gonorrhoeal, tubercular infections etc.

Curability:

These are cases to be judged upon the extent of structural pathology to be cured under homoeopathy.

But according to homoeopathy any discharge other than blood from vagina is "leucorrhoea". It is common only as long as it just moistens the genital tract unnoticeably and uncommon as well as absolutely abnormal as soon as it draws the attention of the individual. Leucorrhoea may be of varying colours(like brown, green, milky, yellow, white), of varying consistencies (like watery, thin, thick, stringy) and at any stage of life(as is in new born, little girls, adolescents, pregnants, pre and post menopausal women).

There may be many causes, among which worth considering are constitutional debility, anaemia, inability to sustain physical as well as mental stress, sexual excesses, masturbation, intra-uterine contraceptive devices (like copper T, loop), gonorrhoeal infection and not to mention the structural changes cited above. Leucorrhoea usually appears first only before the commencement of each menses, afterwards they also continue a few days after the cessation of menses and then cease for from 8 to 14 days. They cause the diminution of menses and at length gradually the total disappearance of the menses, where upon the leucorrhoea begins to flow continuously.

When to take it serious?

1. if it is of bloody nature.
2. when attended with itching of external genitals and vagina.
3. with corrosion of skin over external genitals and adjacent parts of thighs, especially in walking.
4. when attended with pain in lower abdomen, back, vagina and lower limbs.
5. when associated with hysterical states of all kinds & innumerable disturbances of mind and body.

• 3.   Sexual excesses and masturbation.
• 4.   Severe diarrhoea and vomitings & repeated use of laxatives as in worm infestations
• 5.   Profuse sweating.
• 6.   Fluid drained in conditions like hydrocele, hydrocephalus and effusion in pleura, pericardium etc.

Consequences
(a) in mind.

1. Over sensitiveness of nerves & senses i.e., sight, smell, hearing and taste.
2. Timid nature and startling from all noises.
3. Exhaustion and fainting.
4. Overcautious, weeping, angry & quarrelsome disposition.

(b) deranged digestion.

1. Slimy, tasteless mouth.
2. Perversions of taste mainly bitter, saltish and sour taste of food.
3. Aversion to food though there is hunger.
4. Hungry but knows not what to eat.

(e) confusion of head

1. Stupid feeling and confusion of head.
2. Heaviness of head with headache.

Causation & Curability

Diet & Regimen:

1. Those people who are of epicurean nature, being fond of food, take excess of food particularly those who are fond of junk foods surcharged with sedentary habits, needless to say, are highly prone to obesity. Mere habit without any disease background for the ravenous appetite should be altered by their self without medication.
2. People who are of the habit of taking dinner late in the night and remaining wakeful during nights as part of professional or personal activity are more inclined to be obese.
3. Living close to nature under normal temperature results in burning of some calories unnoticeably. Conversely prolonged dwelling in air-conditioned environment hampers this imperceptible burning of fat resulting in obesity.
4. Coffee on account of its stimulant nature increases the appetite and also for some other reasons yet to be known and proved causes obesity.
5. Alcohol intake along with spicy and fat rich food consumption is a sufficiently potent factor as far as obesity is concerned.
6. Habitual consumption of chilled drinks/beverages like coke, pepsi etc., along with fast/processed foods also results in obesity as it creates sluggishness in the economy, though occasional drinking is permissible.
7. Satisfying appetite is entirely different from eating to satiety. Ignoring this point people usually overload their stomachs which obviously results in obesity. To avoid this to happen one should take adequate quantity of food which merely satisfies the appetite and if necessary taking food again on feeling hungry is quite advisable.

Curability: Obesity already occasioned under erroneous diet and regimen can be cured under ideal homoeopathic treatments provided no further excitation occurs.

Surgical Causes:

Obesity arising as post surgical consequence is almost an irreversible condition. Surgeries of any kind such as hysterectomy, tonsillectomy, appendicectomy, caesarean section are potent factors resulting in this irreversible damage. In particular the family planning operations (tubectomy & vasectomy) may cause obesity even many years after. The reason for this is that the ova, sperms and various others which should be let out during menses and other ways remain inside and enter the blood circulation which turns out to be toxic to the system, result in obesity.

Curability: - In such conditions the patient being kept under genuine homoeopathic treatment can be prevented from becoming further more obese.

Medicinal Causes:

Weight gain is a most common, but often overlooked side effect to many widely prescribed drugs. In susceptible individuals weight gain may result in obesity. They are

1.Oestrogens used indiscriminately as oral contraceptive(OC) pills, for postponement and advancement of menses and various other gynaecological conditions as in hormone replacement therapies(HRT), postmenopausal deficiencies, polycystic ovarian syndrome(PCOS) etc.
2. Corticosteroids like Betamethasone, betnesol, entocort, wysolone used for chronic asthma, rheumatoid and osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, crohn’s & ulcerative colitis etc., taken internally and when used externally as topical applications for psoriasis, lichen planus etc.
3. Tricyclic anti-depressants like clomipramine,doxepin, imipramine used for depression.
4. Antipsychotic drugs like alprazolam, diazepam, clonazepam used as sedatives, tranquilizers, anxiety relievers and in epilepsy.
5. Anti-epileptics like eptoin, gardenal, tegrital, valproates used for epilepsy treatments.
6. Oral hypogylcemics like daonil, glynase, euglucon as well as insulin used for diabetes.
7. Drugs used in treatments for tuberculosis and hyperthyroidism.

Curability: These and many other drugs used for many weeks or even months may cause obesity of irreversible nature. If not abused to such an irreversible extent, the obesity brought forth can be reversed back under scientific homoeopathic treatment in course of time while curing the individual as a whole.

Disease Causes:

Obesity may be caused in some diseased conditions like hypothyroidism, cushing’s syndrome, frohlick’s syndrome (hypothalamic causes) and certain idiopathic conditions. Weight gain and a sensation of heaviness is a most troublesome condition produced along with other symptoms in these diseases.

Curability: These to a large extent can be cured by genuine homoeopathic treatment in a wholistic approach along with other disease symptoms.

Healthy tips to lose weight

1. Living close to nature, under moderate temperature (neither hot nor cold) conditions as long as possible to burn some calories unnoticeably.
2. Simultaneously avoid air-conditioned environment whenever and wherever possible.
3. If living in air-conditioned atmosphere is a compulsion, reduce as much diet as possible.
4. Eating as much as one requires in day time but reducing as much as at nights.
5. Limiting the intake of solids to 6 or 7 pm in the evening and staying on liquids like dilute milk, buttermilk etc., thereafter.
6. Going to bed early and waking up early.
7. Regular walking and Exercise Exercise
People need to distinguish the subtle difference between exercise and exertion in open air like gardening to maintain fitness particularly by those who lead a sedentary life.
8. Needless to say, reducing junk foods as well as fat rich foods to the extent possible.
9. Giving up stimulants like coffee, tea, tobacco etc.
10. Most important than the above all, refrain from using the drugs before listed which cause an irreversible damage.
11. Restricting the consumption of chilled drinks/beverages to rare occasions.
12. Restraining oneself to satisfying appetite rather than eating to satiety

Conclusion

Any kind of obesity treatments whether it be surgical, medical or alternative kind are not quite advisable in any type of obesity (reversible or irreversible) and in particular irreversible type of obesities as they result in many side effects apart from being temporary and short-lived in most instances. Mere dieting and thoughtless overexertion only end in profound weakness even in those reversible kinds of obesities. Anyhow in both the before said conditions, the obesity recurs in course of time establishing the short-lived nature of the treatments. The best way of curing obesity in a permanent manner is undergoing ideal homoeopathic treatment following appropriate dietary instructions which targets in curing the individual as a whole along with the obesity without any risk of side effects.

Homoeopathy outlook:

As per Homoeopathy this is one of the many kinds of neuralgias occurring all over the body such as cervical neuralgia in the back of neck, brachial neuralgia in hands, pudendal neuralgia in genitals, supra and infra-orbital neuralgia above and below eyes, migraine in head, facial and trigeminal neuralgia in the face, teeth etc.

Surgery and its consequences

As is frequently said and regularly done in scientific homoeopathy the neuralgic tendency should be dealt with in an individual medicinally. If that is not done or surgery is opted, sciatica will shift from that part and appear in a transformed manner in a more important part bearing the corresponding name, the neuralgic tendency not being changed radically.

Homoeopathy offers quality treatments for conditions such as aversion to sex, abnormal sexual desire in both sexes (nymphomania and satyriasis), sexual perversions (homosexuality, incestial thoughts etc), diminished sexual desire, disposition to masturbationMasturbation
The widespread notion that masturbation is good and self-abuse resulting therefrom is an absurdity by itself …. and complaints from suppression of sexual desire etc.,. It furnishes excellent cures to delayed and premature seminal emissions; frequent, continued, painful, incomplete or want of erection in males & lack of enjoyment, dryness and burning of vagina in females.

Far more important than these are the treatments for sexually transmitted diseases viz., gonorrhoea and syphilis which, when left to their own course or treated unhomoeopathically, result in disastrous conditions which the mankind is suffering from generations together. Homoeopathy alone recognizes the depth of these diseases and their uncanny potential to ruin the human health multifariously. Dr. Hahnemann had proposed for the first time in the history of medicine that these two namely, suppressed gonorrhoea and syphilis along with psora are chiefly responsible for innumerable multitude of diseases bearing those thousands of names i.e., the concept of miasms. Only through a patient and long standing homoeopathic treatment can the effects of these monstrous disease causing agents be eradicated from the mankind.

disease (when left to its own course or when treated unhomoeopathically) progresses from

1. Periphery to centre.
2. Down to upwards.
3. Less important organs to more important organs.

For example an abscess present on the skin yields easily to treatment and so safe. The same abscess when it appears in liver is a worrying condition, when in lung a serious condition and finally when in brain a deadly dangerous condition. The abscess per se may be the same but the location decides the gravity of the condition and turns out to be more and more serious as it travels towards centre, upwards and to more important organs. Skin being the most superficial part many diseases make their ExpressionExpression
The expression of disease in the form of symptoms decides the curability of a case. on the skin as a substitute for a more serious complaint, as for instance urticarial rashes for asthma, ring worm for T.B. and intertrigo for diabetes usually. But the other systems of medicine considering them purely local diseases vainly suppose that they have cured them when they have driven them away by means of external applications, so that the internal affection is thereby compelled to break out on a more important part.

Hence any skin complaint should be considered as a blessing in disguise by the compassionate God as for example a leucoderma or psoriasis, which, however much they may seem unsightly, are still a boon because as far as depth is concerned they are as obstinate and one-sided as cancer to get cured but still never life threatening.

So, whatever may be the skin complaint viz., psoriasis, leucoderma, vitiligo, melasma, ring worm, intertrigo, urticarial rash, pimples, eczema etc., it is always advisable, without a single exception, to get cured under " treatment", which takes into consideration the external skin symptoms and other internal symptoms to cure, leaving no probability of internal complications arising there from.

(1) Simple tonsillitis which mostly occurs in children below 15 years as part of inflammatory tendency in that individual with its classical features of pain, redness, swelling and heat (either locally in the part or generally as fever). Pain in throat on swallowing is most important symptom.

(2) Ulcerative tonsillitis frequently seen in adults which occurs as part of syphilitic constitutions studded with multiple ulcers on the enlarged tonsils and with relatively less pain in throat on swallowing.

(3) Suppurative tonsillitis also usually seen in adults which occurs as part of syphilitic constitutions with symptoms of pus in the enlarged tonsils, fever and pain in throat on swallowing. Pus formation in the ears and near the holes of ear rings, slow wound healing are associated features in such constitutions.

Surgery and its consequences

Firstly we should know what necessitates removal of tonsils. As is said in the simple tonsillitis, with every catching of cold, the tonsils get inflamed attended by the classical features. On usage of anti-inflammatory and anti-pyretic drugs each time all the signs of inflammation reduce except the swelling. On a fresh attack of cold, the already enlarged tonsils will redden up, swell further and become painful and the conventional treatments leave the tonsils more enlarged than the previous cold. Like this way the tonsils keep growing and at one stage, surgery is advised. Apart from inability to remove the inflammatory tendency and further leading to other more serious inflammatory conditions like appendicitis, hepatitis and pancreatitis etc., surgery also results in other serious complications like impaired hearing, migraine(sun) headaches, disturbances in menses etc.

Homoeopathic Outlook

The genuine homoeopathic treatment, firstly, does not allow the tonsils to grow to such an extent so as to force surgery when treated in the acute phases and even in chronic cases where tonsils are already enlarged under other treatments, the homoeopathic treatments are focused on reducing the swelling medically rather than relegating to surgery. Thus the homoeopathic treatments prevent the cases going into serious complications.

1. Which factors provoked the present decayed tooth to start decay when it is healthy?
2. How can we prevent the decaying of other teeth by just extracting the now decayed tooth without removing those factors?

As per homoeopathy the factor behind it is the Decay causing tendencyDecay causing tendency
The tendencies of an individual towards some diseases are to be decided from the family history. We can cure the present decay and prevent the other teeth getting decayed by bringing a change in this decay causing tendency. Without a radical change in that tendency we can’t prevent the other teeth being affected just by extraction of present decayed tooth, which is a repeated experience in dental practice.

Expression and mode of cure

One more important thing is the expressionExpression
Expression of the disease in the form of symptoms in those parts of organism that are exposed to the senses of observer ….of the internal process of decay.

1. Organic causes

Bleeding from organic lesions occurs in a) Cancer of uterus or cervix, b) uterine polyp, c) uterine fibroid, d) ovarian cysts, f) ovarian tumours, g) uterine malformations, h) endocrinal disorders i) Systemic causes like chronic hypertension, heart diseases, blood disorders etc.

Homoeopathy outlook:
According to Homoeopathy whatever may be the lesion, whether it be mere tumour or cancer or inflammation, it is there because there is that tendency such as inflammatory tendency, cancerous or tumour producing tendency in that individual which should be set right and cured through genuine homoeopathic treatment which is a permanent and safe method, free from complications, instead of quickly resorting to surgery which is a temporary and harmful measure with every risk of complications as it can only remove the lesion or concerned part (ovaries or uterus) or organ but not the tendency which is responsible for the present condition and will be undoubtedly responsible for future complications in a transformed manner.

2. Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding (DUB)

This is the excessive uterine bleeding where no organic cause can be detected. It occurs as 1. Regular bleeding as in frequent, early menses with profuse bleeding for prolonged time from failure of constriction of uterine blood vessels, failure in clotting mechanism etc. 2. Irregular bleeding seen in puberty, pre-menopause, obesity, PCOD from endocrinal dysfunction and metropathia haemorrhagica.

Homoeopathy outlook:
As per Homoeopathy the DUB owes its background to congestive nature in an individual which can be dated back to childhood in the form of inflammatory complaints with fever, such as cold, bronchitis, tonsillitis, hepatitis, appendicitis etc., and later to headache on exposure to sun, copious bleeding during menses, profuse flowing milk from breast during lactation period (galactorhoea). Most importantly if the DUB be not cured, under genuine homoeopathic treatment, and left to its own course or treated with hormones and such other conventional methods, the case gradually progresses towards chronic hypertension.

Homoeopathic Approach

As per Homoeopathy, Uterine bleeding occurs in two varieties (1) disordered menstrual bleeding and (2) metrorrhagia which is uterine bleeding other than menstrual origin such as from abortions, tubal pregnancy, intermenstrual bleeding, menopausal bleeding, during and after delivery, from polyps and fibroids, after sexual intercourse, exertion and emotional excitement etc. Basing on the individualization principle of homoeopathy various symptoms such as colour (bright, dark, brown, black or pale red) and consistency (thin, thick or stringy) of bleeding, pain and other general symptoms are noted down and treated accordingly in the classical lines of genuine homoeopathy.

There is nothing of medicinal value in water to relieve constipation. For those people in whom it relieves constipation is nothing but conditioned reflex as for example there are many people who do not fall sleep without drinking milk, many people feel hungry after brushing teeth in the morning. Likewise kidney stones do not form from less intake of water, without a Stone forming tendencyStone forming tendency
The tendencies of an individual towards some diseases are to be decided from the family history as part of their constitution. For the same reason we do not observe formation of stones in all those people who are habitually less water drinking individuals and the vice versa in whom we observe stones who take large quantities of water habitually.

What is healthily permissible quantity?

Nature has created the phenomenon of thirst to supply the adequate amount of water to the body. It is decided upon three criterion (1) amount of water used for regular metabolic activities (2) to replace the loss of fluids from sweating & in other forms and (3) passing colourless urine attended with no burning sensation. So we need to take water as per the demands of our body which is expressed in the form of thirst or when we ignore this, nature expresses in another form as yellow and burning urine suggesting more intake of water. By just obeying the nature’s demands we can supply the sufficient quantity of fluids required for the smooth running of bodily functions. This is the only hard and fast rule. We need to seek a medical solution for those conditions like constipation and urinary stones etc.

What is the harm?

The amount of excess water taken in (beyond our thirst), having no influence or change in the metabolic needs or sweating, should be passed out in the form of urine. This creates a huge burden over kidneys, where filtration is done, and over urinary bladder, where storage is done, which may even eventually result in kidney failure owing to fatigue from over work. In this process there may even be loss of electrolytes which are essential for our health. For this, some people say filtering of clear water does not affect kidneys much, comparing it to the function of candles in water filter which does not get damaged by filtering pure water. However one should not forget that fatigue is a fundamental phenomenon for every living tissue. We can run a bike by filling the fuel without any fatigue to the vehicle whereas a person can’t run unlimited distances without fatigue just by drinking glucose or some other energy drink.

So, whatever may be the purpose one has in mind, these are certainly useful for relaxation of mind. Nevetheless one needs to be morally upright while practising these and the diet which a person follows has a major impact over these practices. As per the Hindu philosophy one should strictly follow the so called “Satvikahara” or balanced food during these yogic or meditation practices. It should be bland without any sour, salty, bitter and peppery ingredients. Apart from being bland, the food should be of such a quality which enhances vitality, energy, vigour, health, joy and cheerfulness and also savoury, oleaginous, substantial and agreeable. The food with such qualities alters the nature of those individuals who wish to develop sattva guna or balanced personality.

When under homoeopathic treatment.

As meditation or yoga involves liberation of spiritual energy during their practice, one should not practice them while they are under homoeopathy treatment. The reason is that the homoeopathy medicines, being in energy form, there may be an incompatibility between these two energy forms, namely spiritual and medicinal energies, which may obstruct the process of cure.
