MANAGEMENT OF
INCURABLE DISEASE WITH HOMOEOPATHY IN OUR CENTRE
Our main
aim of research is treatment or palliation and management of terminally disease such as kidney
failure, cancer, Alzhimiers disease, Mentally challenged
Children and disease which do not have any treatment
in other systems of medicine. In such cases we can
manage to extend of palliation of the disease and
bring back the patient to main stream of life.
CANCER
Cancer
is a term used for diseases in which abnormal cells
divide without control and are able to invade other
tissues. Cancer cells can spread to other parts
of the body through the blood and
lymph
systems.
Cancer
known medically as a
malignant
neoplasm, is a broad group
of various
diseases, all involving
unregulated cell growth. In cancer,
cells
divide and grow uncontrollably, forming malignant
tumors, and invade nearby parts of the body.
Most cancers are named for the organ or type of
cell in which they start - for example, cancer that
begins in the colon is called colon cancer; cancer
that begins in
basal
cells
of the skin is called basal cell carcinoma ETC.
For
disease like cancer homeopathy restore the abnormal
cells to normal and there by bring back the health
HOMOEOPATHIC
MANAGEMENT .We
mangage cancer patients based on scientific methods
of symptoms totality considering the person as an
individual. We are able to give palliation in later
stage of cancer patient and cure in early stages.
Aim:
In what ever form of cancer our aim is to control
abnormal and or unregulated cells and thereby bring
back normalcy.
KIDNEY
FAILURE
Healthy kidneys clean your blood by removing excess
fluid, minerals and wastes. They also make hormones
that keep your bones strong and your blood healthy.
But if the kidneys are damaged, they don't work
properly. Harmful wastes can build up in your body.
Your blood pressure may rise. Your body may retain
excess fluid and not make enough red blood cells.
This is called kidney failure.
Renal failure
(also
kidney failure
or
renal insufficiency)
is a medical condition in which the
kidneys
fail to adequately filter waste products from the
blood. The two main forms are
acute kidney injury,
which is often reversible with adequate treatment,
and chronic kidney disease,
which is often not reversible. In both cases, there
is usually an underlying cause.
Symptoms of kidney
failure include:
High levels of urea in the blood, which can result
in:
·
Vomiting
and/or
diarrhea, which may lead to
dehydration
·
Nausea
·
Weight loss
·
Nocturnal urination
·
More frequent urination, or in greater amounts than usual, with pale
urine
·
Less frequent urination, or in smaller amounts than usual, with dark
coloured urine
·
Blood in the urine
·
Pressure, or difficulty urinating
·
Unusual amounts of urination, usually in large quantities
A build up of
phosphates
in the blood that diseased kidneys cannot filter
out may cause:
·
Itching
·
Bone damage
·
Nonunion in broken bones
·
Muscle cramps
(caused by low levels of calcium which can be associated with
hyperphosphatemia)
A build up of
potassium
in the blood that diseased kidneys cannot filter
out (called
hyperkalemia) may cause:
·
Abnormal heart rhythms
·
Muscle paralysis
Failure of kidneys to remove
excess fluid may cause:
·
Swelling of the legs, ankles, feet, face and/or hands
·
Shortness of breath due to extra fluid on the lungs (may also be caused
by anemia)
·
Polycystic kidney disease, which causes large, fluid-filled cysts on
the kidneys and sometimes the liver, can cause:
·
Pain in the back or side
Healthy kidneys produce the
hormone
erythropoietin
that stimulates the
bone marrow
to make oxygen-carrying red blood cells. As the
kidneys fail, they produce less erythropoietin,
resulting in decreased production of red blood cells
to replace the natural breakdown of old red blood
cells. As a result, the blood carries less hemoglobin,
a condition known as anemia. This can result in:
·
Feeling tired and/or weak
·
Memory problems
·
Difficulty concentrating
·
Dizziness
·
Low blood pressure
Normally, proteins are too
large to pass through the kidneys, however, they
are able to pass through when the glomeruli are
damaged. This does not cause symptoms until extensive
kidney damage has occurred,
after which symptoms include:
·
Foamy or bubbly urine
·
Swelling in the hands, feet, abdomen, or face
·
Other symptoms include:
·
Appetite loss, a bad taste in the mouth
·
Difficulty sleeping
·
Darkening of the skin
·
Excess protein in the blood
·
With high dose
penicillin, renal failure patients may experience
seizures
HOMOEOPATHIC MANAGEMENT:
Aim of homoeopathic management is to restore the
function of kidney to normal. This initially involves
control of diet along with homoeopathic drugs. Most
of them kidney failure are managed by homoeopathy
unless kidney is irreversibly damaged.
MENTAL RETARDATION
Homeopathy helps the child with autism, mental retardation
to lead a better life. One of the important facts
is that in homeopathy we have these symptoms covered
by different remedies and can use the symptoms expressed
by the behavior of the child for the selection of
the medicine.
It is very important to get a proper history of
the patient and the importance of observation comes
into play even the minutest detail can help in deciding
the remedy. Peculiar symptoms are required so the
parents should observe the Childs behavior in details
and note them down in a book.
Mental
retardation is a condition diagnosed before age
18 that includes below-average general intellectual
function, and a lack of the skills necessary for
daily living. Failure to adapt (adjust to new situations)
normally and grow intellectually may become apparent
early in a child's life. In the case of mild retardation,
these failures may not become recognizable until
school age or later.
Symptoms
-
Continued Infant-like behavior
-
Decreased learning ability
-
Failure to meet the markers of intellectual
development
-
Inability to meet educational demands at school
-
Lack of curiosity
Note: Changes to normal behaviors depend on the
severity of the condition. Mild retardation may
be associated with a lack of curiosity and quiet
behavior. Severe mental retardation is associated
with infant-like behavior throughout life.
Causes
The causes can be categorized as follows:
·
Genetic conditions
- These result from abnormality of genes inherited
from parents, errors when genes combine, or from
other disorders of the genes caused during pregnancy
by infections, overexposure to x-rays and other
factors. Inborn errors of metabolism which may produce
mental retardation, such as PKU (phenylketonuria),
fall in this category. Chromosomal abnormalities
have likewise been related to some forms of mental
retardation, such as
Down syndrome,
Klinefelter's syndrome,
Fragile X syndrome
(common among boys),
Neurofibromatosis,
congenital
hypothyroidism,
Williams syndrome,
Phenylketonuria
(PKU), and
Prader-Willi syndrome.
· Problems during pregnancy -
Use of alcohol or drugs by the pregnant mother can
cause mental retardation. Malnutrition, rubella,
glanular disorders and diabetes, cytomegalovirus,
and many other illneses of the mother during pregnancy
may result in a child being born with mental retardation.
Physical malformations of the brain and HIV infection
originating in prenatal life may also result in
mental retardation.
· Problems at birth
- Although any birth condition of unusual stress
may injure the infant’s brain, prematurity and low
birth weight predict serious problems more often
than any other conditions.
· Problems after birth
- Childhood diseases such as whooping cough, chicken
pox, measles, and Hib disease which may lead to
meningitis and encephalitis can damage the brain,
as can accidents such as a blow to the head or near
drowning. Substances such as lead and mercury can
cause irreparable damage to the brain and nervous
system.
· Poverty and cultural deprivation
- Children in poor families may become mentally
retarded because of malnutrition, disease-producing
conditions, inadequate medical care and environmental
health hazards. Also, children in disadvantaged
areas may be deprived of many common cultural and
day- to-day experiences provided to other youngsters.
Research suggests that such under-stimulation can
result in irreversible damage and can serve as a
cause of mental retardation.
. Iodine deficiency,
affecting approximately 2 billion people worldwide,
is the leading preventable cause of mental disability
in areas of the developing world where iodine deficiency
is endemic. Iodine deficiency also causes goiter,
an enlargement of the thyroid gland. More common
than full-fledged cretinism, as retardation caused
by severe iodine deficiency is called, is mild impairment
of intelligence
HOMOEOPATHIC MANAGEMENT:
The primary goal of treatment is to develop the
person's potential to the fullest. Homoeopathy with
its vast variety of medicines treat the patient
and helps such mentally challenged children to lead
a normal life.
Aim:
CONTINUED
HOMOEOPATHIC TREATMENT UPTO THE AGE OF PUBERTY HELP
THE CHILD TO ADAPT TO HIS SURROUNDINGS AND ALSO
TO MEET EDUCATIONAL DEMAND AND SO A BETTER LIVING.
AUTISM
Autism is a disorder of neural development characterized
by impaired social interaction and communication,
and by restricted and repetitive behavior.
Autism affects information processing in the brain
by altering how nerve cells and their synapses connect
and organize; how this occurs is not well understood.
The main signs and symptoms of autism involve communication,
social interactions and repetitive behaviors.
-
Social interaction and communication -Children
with autism might have problems talking with
you, or they might not look you in the eye when
you talk to them. The character of child
with autism are the child fails to respond
to his or her name, has poor eye contact, appears
not to hear you at times, resists cuddling and
holding, appears unaware of others' feelings,
seems to prefer playing alone — retreats into
his or her "own world". Starts talking later
than age 2, and has other developmental delays
by 30 months. The child Loses previously acquired
ability to say words or sentences. Speaks with
an abnormal tone or rhythm — may use a singsong
voice or robot-like speech, can't start a conversation
or keep one going, may repeat words or phrases
verbatim, but doesn't understand how to use
them
-
Behavior-The characteristic behavior of child
with autism are Performs repetitive movements,
such as rocking, spinning or hand-flapping,
develops specific routines or rituals, becomes
disturbed at the slightest change in routines
or rituals, moves constantly, may be fascinated
by parts of an object, such as the spinning
wheels of a toy car, may be unusually sensitive
to light, sound and touch and yet oblivious
to pain
HOMOEOPATHIC MANAGEMENT:
The primary aim of homoeopathic treatment is to
help the child adapt to surrounding and lead a normal
life
ALZHEIMER'S
DISEASE
Senile dementia - Alzheimer's type (SDAT);
Dementia
is a loss of brain function that
occurs with certain diseases. Alzheimer's disease
(AD), is one form of dementia that gradually gets
worse over time. It affects memory, thinking, and
behavior.
Alzheimer's disease, first described by the German
neurologist Alois Alzheimer, is a physical disease
affecting the brain. During the course of the disease,
protein 'plaques' and 'tangles' develop in the structure
of the brain, leading to the death of brain cells.
People with Alzheimer's also have a shortage of
some important chemicals in their brain.These
chemicals are involved with the transmission of
messages within the brain.
Alzheimer's
is a
progressive
disease,
which means that gradually, over time, more parts
of the brain are damaged.
Symptoms
People in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease may experience
lapses of memory and have problems finding the right
words. As the disease progresses, they may:
·
become confused and frequently forget the names
of people, places, appointments and recent events
·
experience mood swings, feel sad or angry, or scared
and frustrated by their increasing memory loss
·
become more withdrawn, due either to a loss of confidence
or to communication problems
·
have difficulty carrying out everyday activities
- they may get muddled checking their change at
the shops or become unsure how to work the TV remote.
As the disease progresses, people with Alzheimer's will need more
support from those who care for them. Eventually,
they will need help with all their daily activities.
While there are some
common symptoms of Alzheimer's disease, it is important to remember that everyone is unique. No two people
are likely to experience Alzheimer's disease in
the same way.
Severe Alzheimer's disease
People with severe Alzheimer's cannot
communicate and are completely dependent on others
for their care. Near the end, the person may be
in bed most or all of the time as the body shuts
down. Their symptoms often include:
-
inability to communicate
-
weight loss
-
seizures
-
skin infections
-
difficulty swallowing
-
groaning, moaning, or grunting
-
increased sleeping
-
lack of control of bowel and
bladder
HOMOEOPATHIC
MANAGEMENT:
Alzheimer's disease in our clinic involves prolonging
the early stages and /or curing completely and management
of later stages involves in controlling
seizures and other symptoms using homoeopathic drugs
and bringing back the patient to normal life. Here
we consider the patient as individual and treatment
is based on scientific principle of totality of
symptoms.
SCHIZOPHRENIA
Schizophrenia
is a
mental disorder
characterized by a breakdown of thought processes
and by poor emotional responsiveness. Common symptoms
include
auditory hallucinations,
paranoid
or bizarre
delusions, or
disorganized speech and thinking,
and it is accompanied by significant social or occupational
dysfunction.
Signs and symptoms of schizophrenia generally are
divided into three categories — positive, negative
and cognitive.
Positive symptoms
In schizophrenia, positive symptoms reflect an excess
or distortion of normal functions. These active,
abnormal symptoms may include:
·
Delusions.
These beliefs are not based in reality and usually
involve misinterpretation of perception or experience.
They are the most common of schizophrenic symptoms.
·
Hallucinations.
These usually involve seeing or hearing things that
don't exist, although hallucinations can be in any
of the senses. Hearing voices is the most common
hallucination among people with schizophrenia.
·
Thought disorder.
Difficulty speaking and organizing thoughts may
result in stopping speech midsentence or putting
together meaningless words, sometimes known as word
salad.
·
Disorganized behavior.
This may show in a number of ways, ranging from
childlike silliness to unpredictable agitation.
Negative symptoms
Negative symptoms refer to a diminishment or absence
of characteristics of normal function. They may
appear with or without positive symptoms. They include:
-
·
Loss of interest in everyday activities
-
·
Appearing to lack emotion
-
·
Reduced ability to plan or carry out activities
-
·
Neglect of personal hygiene
-
·
Social withdrawal
-
·
Loss of motivation
Cognitive symptoms
Cognitive symptoms involve problems with thought
processes. These symptoms may be the most disabling
in schizophrenia because they interfere with the
ability to perform routine daily tasks. A person
with schizophrenia may be born with these symptoms.
They include:
-
·
Problems with making sense of information
-
·
Difficulty paying attention
-
·
Memory problems
Symptoms in teenagers
Schizophrenia symptoms in teenagers are similar
to those in adults, but the condition may be more
difficult to recognize in this age group. This may
be in part because some of the early symptoms in
teenagers are common during teen years, such as:
-
·
Withdrawal from friends and family
-
·
A drop in performance at school
-
·
Trouble sleeping
-
·
Irritability
Compared with schizophrenia symptoms in adults,
teens may be:
-
·
Less likely to have delusions
-
·
More likely to have visual hallucinations
HOMOEOPATHIC MANAGEMENT:
Schizophrenia
IS EXCLUSIVELY PALLIATION OF THE SYMPTOMS AND BRINGING
BACK TO NORMAL LIFE AND ABILITY TO COPE WITH OTHERS
IN COLLEGE, OFFICE AND AT HOME.
