<a href="http://www.educationalight.blogspot.in/" target="_blank">Pustular psoriasis is an uncommon form of psoriasis. People with pustular psoriasis have clearly defined, raised bumps on the skin that are filled with pus (pustules). The skin under and around these bumps is reddish. Pustular psoriasis may cause large portions of your skin to redden. The skin changes that occur before, during, or after an episode of pustular psoriasis can be similar to those of regular psoriasis.</a><br />

<a href="http://www.educationalight.blogspot.in/" target="_blank">If you are heavy, it could be making you sick and tired and age prematurely. And I don't mean heavy with fat ...</a><br />
<a href="http://www.educationalight.blogspot.in/" target="_blank"><br /></a>
<a href="http://www.educationalight.blogspot.in/" target="_blank">I mean heavy with heavy metals -- like mercury!</a><br />
<a href="http://www.educationalight.blogspot.in/" target="_blank"><br /></a>
<a href="http://www.educationalight.blogspot.in/" target="_blank">Unfortunately, toxic mercury problems are common. Along with polar bears, beluga whales, ducks, otters, panthers, and all river fish as well as most large ocean fish, we humans are poisoning ourselves with mercury at ever increasing rates.</a><br />
<br />
There's no doubt about it, mercury is the most alarming, disease-causing source of environmental toxicity that I see daily in my practice. Many of patients have toxic levels of mercury -- and they're not alone. I personally suffered from mercury toxicity and chronic fatigue syndrome --which I cured myself from, in part by getting rid of the mercury in my body. So I know about this first hand.<br />
<br />
I became toxic because I polluted myself by growing up on tuna fish sandwiches, eating sushi, living in Beijing, which heats all its homes with coal -- the major source of environmental mercury load -- and having a mouthful of amalgam (a.k.a. mercury) fillings.<br />
<br />
All of these exposures, combined with genes that prevent me from effectively detoxifying metals in my body, led to a slow and significant poisoning of my cells and mitochondria. And the effects were obvious ...<br />
<br />
I felt weak, tired, and couldn't think. I had muscle pain and twitches, insomnia, digestive problems, food allergies, depression, and anxiety. And it was only by discovering high levels of mercury in my hair and urine -- and slowly detoxifying myself -- that I was able to get better.<br />
<br />
I have seen this over and over in my patients, too. From chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia, to depression, anxiety, obesity, dementia, Parkinson's disease, cancer, heart failure, and heart disease, the message is clear ...<br />
<br />
We are being poisoned!<br />
<br />
This is such an important public health and personal issue for so many people that I'm going to use this blog and next week's blog to fully explain the extent of mercury issues and give you a comprehensive plan for reducing your exposure and healing from mercury toxicity. I'll show you the science behind mercury toxicity, share some stories about my patients who have suffered, and talk about the way we need to deal with this major health problem.<br />
<br />
First, I'd like to share with you what I learned at one of the most important international conferences on mercury yet to be held. It was called "The Impact of Mercury on Human Health and the Environment" and was presented at Tulane University School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine in New Orleans.<br />
<br />
There, a unique international group of policymakers, environmental scientists, toxicologists, biochemists, journalists, academic physicians, practicing pediatricians, neurologists, and dentists gathered.<br />
<br />
We were there to make sense of the environmental impact, toxicology, basic science, public policy and health implications of one the least studied and perhaps greatest potential threats to our long-term health -- mercury. And I want to share some of what I learned at that conference with you.<br />
<br />
Mercury Levels Are on the Rise<br />
<br />
Barry Kohl, Ph.D. is an adjunct professor in the department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at Tulane University. At the conference he provided a unique overview of the impact of industrialization on environmental mercury levels through a description of the levels of mercury in the ice core extracted from the pristine Freemont Glacier in Wyoming.<br />
<br />
There were small peaks in mercury concentration in the ice core from the 1815 Tambora volcanic eruption in Indonesia, the 1850-84 gold rush in California where mercury was used for smelting, the eruption in 1883 of the Sumatran volcano Krakatau 10,000 miles away, and the more recent Mount St. Helens eruption in 1980.<br />
<br />
Overall, the changes in environmental mercury levels have been dramatic. Over the past 100 years, there has been a 30-fold increase in mercury deposition, 70 percent of which is from human sources.<br />
In fact, there was an exponential peak in mercury occurring in the last 40 years due to major industrialization. Much of this mercury comes from coal-fired industrial plants and from chlor-alkali plants that use mercury in the process of making chlorine used in plastics, pesticides, PVC pipes, and more.<br />
<br />
One note of hope was the reduction in industrial mercury emissions from 220 million pounds to 120 million pounds a year over the last 10 years. But that's small consolation when we're talking about a substance that is toxic in parts per million, not in millions of pounds.<br />
<br />
And the more mercury we are exposed to, the more we are likely we are to be toxic.<br />
<br />
Risk Increases with Dose<br />
<br />
Harvey Clewell from the ENVIRON Health Sciences Institute, Ruston, Louisiana, reviewed the epidemiologic studies from the Seychelles and Faroe islands. He showed that your risk of toxicity increases with higher doses of mercury.<br />
<br />
Now, there are different types of mercury. Nearly all human exposures to one type, methylmercury, come from fish.<br />
<br />
In the Seychelle Islands, there seemed be little effect on kids from mercury; however their fish consumption was predominately from low-risk small reef fish that don't contain much mercury.<br />
<br />
On the other hand, in the Faroe Islands people eat whale blubber, which contains high levels of mercury -- over three parts per million. There, high levels of mercury were found in umbilical cord blood and correlated with reduced performance in neurologic testing in 917 mother-infant pairs.<br />
<br />
The health effects from methyl mercury upon infants and children depend on the dose. Severe symptoms start with exposure to doses of 100 mcg/kg/day, mild symptoms with more than 10 mcg/kg/day, and sub-clinical symptoms with less than 1 mcg/kg/day. These symptoms include late development in walking and talking and decreased performance on neurological tests.<br />
<br />
Dr. Clewell also reviewed the limitations of various forms of testing for mercury.<br />
<br />
Methylmercury (also called organic mercury) is found predominately in red blood cells, which is what doctors check when they do a blood test for mercury. But unless you've been eating fish with mercury recently, you won't see your total body level of mercury.<br />
<br />
Plus, mercury is lipophilic, meaning that it concentrates in fatty tissues, especially in the brain, which is made mostly of fat. That means that blood levels aren't an accurate measurement of total body burden of mercury.<br />
<br />
Inorganic mercury from dental fillings (amalgams) is found in plasma but is rapidly cleared and stored in your tissues. Inorganic mercury is also converted from methylmercury by the body and is the main form of mercury in brain, which can lead to dementia, autism, ADHD and more.<br />
<br />
All of these are reasons you need to get comprehensive testing done to assess you total mercury load. I will review the test you need in a moment, but first I want to talk about how mercury gets in your body and what it does to your body and brain.<br />
<br />
Health Effects of Mercury<br />
<br />
We get mercury in our bodies from many different sources including mercury vapors in ambient air, ingesting it via drinking water, fish, dental amalgams, vaccines, occupational exposures, home exposures including fluorescent light bulbs, thermostats, batteries, red tattoo dye, skin-lightening creams, over-the-counter products such as contact lens fluid and neosynephrine, and more.<br />
<br />
You absorb about 80 percent of inhaled mercury vapor and nearly 100 percent of the mercury in fish through your gut.<br />
<br />
Once this mercury is in your body it is then primarily distributed in the kidneys and brain and can be readily transferred to the fetus via the placenta.<br />
<br />
The only way it can get out of your body is via urine, feces, expired air, and breast milk.<br />
The major reason it is toxic to human biology is because mercury has the ability to bind to sulfur-containing molecules in the body (found in nearly every enzyme and in the mitochondria), as well as other chemical binding sites in the cells.<br />
<br />
We've learned a lot about how this mercury effects us and our children from reported exposures to mercury over the last 100 years. These include epidemics such as the Minimata Bay exposures in Japan, acrodynia or pink disease in children from calomel (HgCl) used in teething powder, "mad hatter syndrome" or erethism, and methylmercury fungicide grain seed exposures in Iraq and Pakistan.<br />
<br />
The symptoms and diseases these exposures have caused are varied and mimic many other conditions. Nervous system toxicity can cause erethism ("mad hatter syndrome" as mentioned above) with symptoms of shyness; laughing, crying, and dramatic mood swings for no apparent reason; nervousness, insomnia, memory problems, and the inability to concentrate.<br />
<br />
Other neurologic symptoms may include encephalopathy (non-specific brain malfunction), nerve damage, Parkinsonian symptoms, tremor, ataxia (loss of balance), impaired hearing, tunnel vision, dysarthria (slurred speech), headache, fatigue, impaired sexual function, and depression.<br />
<br />
Kidney toxicity leads to proteinura (protein in the urine) and acute renal failure.<br />
<br />
Gastrointestinal symptoms include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and colitis.<br />
<br />
Skin toxicity causes allergic dermatitis, chelitis (cracked corners of the mouth), gingivitis (gum disease), stomatitis (sores in the mucous membranes of the mouth) and excessive salivation.<br />
<br />
Clearly, mercury toxicity is VERY serious business!<br />
<br />
Dentistry and Mercury<br />
<br />
One of the more controversial sources of mercury toxicity is dental fillings. Silver dental fillings, or amalgams, contain inorganic mercury. Mercury exposure from amalgams is estimated to be between 3 to 17 micrograms per day from chewing, brushing, grinding, and even slow corrosion.<br />
<br />
Questions have arisen about whether or not this amount is toxic ... I am going to clear up the confusion here.<br />
<br />
A recent study in the Journal of the American Medical Association found no significant neurologic or behavioral changes in children who had mercury amalgam (silver) fillings, compared to kids who had composite (white) fillings placed. But there were significant problems with that study ...<br />
<br />
First, the duration of the study was short and the effects subtle. Second, they failed to emphasize the significance of the fact that the kids who had the silver fillings had much higher levels of mercury in their urine than the kids with white fillings.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.educationalight.blogspot.in/" target="_blank">This is one of the most important details of that study, because it proves that mercury fillings in your mouth release mercury vapor that is absorbed into your body, ending up in your urine. It is deposited in your organs, including your brain, where it accumulates over time.</a><br />
<a href="http://www.educationalight.blogspot.in/" target="_blank"><br /></a>
<a href="http://www.educationalight.blogspot.in/" target="_blank">Whether your fillings are new or old, the mercury in them is constantly absorbed into your body. And even if you stop being exposed to that mercury, it sticks around. It takes up to 18 years for the body to clear half of the dose of mercury from the body. Once mercury is in the body it comes out only VERY slowly.</a><br />
<br />
In fact, people with amalgam fillings have significantly elevated blood mercury levels, three to five times more mercury in the urine, and two to twelve times more mercury in their tissues than those without amalgam fillings.<br />
<br />
However blood and urine mercury levels don't necessarily relate to the mercury load in your body tissues or severity of clinical symptoms.<br />
<br />
Research on sheep and monkeys with dental amalgams has shown that blood mercury levels remained low -- even though their tissue mercury levels were raised.<br />
<br />
Urine mercury levels aren't much better as an indicator of your total mercury load. They mainly reflect the cumulative dose of inorganic mercury in the kidneys and there exists only a very weak correlation with levels in other target tissues.<br />
<br />
Another speaker at the conference, Mike Robichaux, a practicing dentist, reviewed his experience with removal of amalgams fillings. He showed a remarkable video of mercury vapor being released from a 25-year-old tooth. You can watch it on the website of the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology.<br />
<br />
But other dentists aren't so concerned. In fact, the American Dental Association still says it is safe to use mercury or silver fillings. That's something I've always wondered about, since the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers old mercury fillings that have been removed from the body toxic waste that has to be disposed as such.<br />
<br />
Let me put this another way. It's apparently all right to put mercury fillings in your mouth -- but not to throw them out in the garbage!<br />
<br />
The danger of amalgam fillings has been confirmed by research from around the world.<br />
<br />
At the conference, Anders Lindvall, M.D., from the Foundation for Metal Biology in Sweden, reported his work on the health effects of dental amalgams and presented a review of the controversial literature on dental amalgams and human health.<br />
<br />
Many of his patients reported a symptom complex consistent with chronic fatigue syndrome that they believed were related to dental amalgams. So in 1990, Dr. Lindvall began a study at Uppsala University Hospital in Sweden to diagnose and treat 796 patients with suspected amalgam-related illness and to develop and evaluate diagnostic tools to assess toxicity from dental amalgams. (i)<br />
<br />
Besides conventional measures of quality of life and symptoms, unique laboratory assessments were used to determine the presence and immunological toxicity of metals.<br />
<br />
One was PIXE, an accelerator-based test on single blood cells that assesses intracellular levels of trace elements, which showed that, in lymphocytes (white blood cells), mercury is found in the nucleus, particularly in places where zinc is low.<br />
<br />
The other was MELISA, a test of lymphocyte reactivity to metal compounds. Information about the MELISA test is available at www.melisa.org. (ii)<br />
<br />
Dr. Lindvall's patients were treated with antioxidants (B complex vitamins, vitamins C and E, and selenium); infections and jaw dysfunction were addressed; and selective removal of any incompatible dental material was performed using low-emission amalgam removal techniques and bio-compatible materials to replace the amalgams.<br />
<br />
The cost of these procedures was covered by national health insurance.<br />
<br />
Laboratory follow up at one year showed over 70 percent of patients reported significant improvement in symptoms after amalgam removal!<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, this study had some problems too ...<br />
<br />
The clinic was closed after the study was published, so there was no further access allowed to the records, which contained over 1,000 untreated patients who could have served as a control group. And since 1999, amalgam dental restorations in Sweden are no longer covered by insurance.<br />
<br />
But Dr. Lindvall's study still suggests that silver amalgams can cause health problems -- and that removing the fillings can help relieve these problems.<br />
<br />
And other studies have had similar effects.<br />
<br />
Research has found that patients with chronic fatigue and autoimmune thyroiditis show improvement in their health status after their amalgam fillings are replaced with composites. (iii)<br />
<br />
In another study, 71 percent of people with autoimmune diseases, including multiple sclerosis, improved after amalgam removal. Low-dose exposure to inorganic mercury may be a contributing factor in the development of autoimmune diseases. (iv)<br />
<br />
Animal and lab studies suggest that exposure to metallic mercury may cause nerve cell damage and promote the production the plaques found in the brains of Alzheimer's patients. (v)<br />
<br />
Plus, we know that mercury levels in the human placenta correlate with the number of maternal amalgam fillings -- and a substantial amount of mercury from amalgams reaches the fetus.<br />
<br />
Worse, mercury from dental amalgams in pregnant women may also contribute to development of autism in their children. In one study, mothers of 94 autistic children had statistically more amalgam fillings during pregnancy than 49 mothers of healthy kids. (vi)<br />
<br />
In contrast to their higher mercury exposure during pregnancy, these autistic children had reduced mercury levels in their first haircut (mercury exposure can be measured in human hair). This may reflect a reduced capacity to excrete mercury from their body, which in turn may lead to elevated brain mercury levels.<br />
<br />
And approximately 20 percent of the general public may experience sub-clinical central nervous system and/or kidney function impairment due to amalgam fillings.<br />
<br />
When taken collectively, the research forces us to question the safety of dental amalgams. In my view, there is no doubt about it ... they are a danger.<br />
<br />
But before you start yanking out your fillings, there is something else to consider ...<br />
<br />
Genetic Variations in the Ability to Detoxify<br />
<br />
Some of us are very good at detoxifying mercury and other toxins, while some of us store toxins like a toxic waste dump. Genetic variations (called polymorphisms) make some people more prone to metal toxicity.<br />
<br />
One gene in particular is very important because it's related to the body's production of glutathione, our most powerful detoxifier and antioxidant. Your body can only excrete mercury when it's bound with glutathione.<br />
<br />
The polymorphism of the gene that controls the enzyme glutathione-S-transferase (GSST) prevents excretion of mercury. That is the gene problem I have that led to my mercury toxicity.<br />
When that happens, the mercury stays in tissues and does damage. Plus, mercury also binds to key enzymes that help us produce glutathione -- in effect helping itself accumulate in our bodies.<br />
<br />
Research also shows that people suffering from symptoms like fatigue, irritability, mood disorders, poor concentration, headaches, and insomnia due to their amalgam fillings are more likely than their peers to have the apolipoprotein E 4 (ApoE 4) gene. (vii)<br />
<br />
ApoE 4 is known as the "Alzheimer's gene." It also promotes heart disease. ApoE 4 reduces detoxifying activity. This means that people with this gene can't get rid of mercury from their brains, contributing to its toxic effects on this organ.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.educationalight.blogspot.in/" target="_blank">I know this all sounds very depressing. And it is. But the good news is that there are things you can do to reduce your exposure -- and identify if you have toxic levels of mercury.</a><br />
<a href="http://www.educationalight.blogspot.in/" target="_blank">So let me sum up what we learned in this week's blog and offer some suggestions for reducing your exposure.</a><br />
<a href="http://www.educationalight.blogspot.in/" target="_blank"><br /></a>
<a href="http://www.educationalight.blogspot.in/" target="_blank">10 Truths and Tips about Mercury Toxicity</a><br />
<a href="http://www.educationalight.blogspot.in/" target="_blank"><br /></a>
<a href="http://www.educationalight.blogspot.in/" target="_blank">1. Industrial exposure to mercury is significant and mostly comes from coal burning (220 million pounds a year) and chlor-alkali plants.</a><br />
<a href="http://www.educationalight.blogspot.in/" target="_blank"><br /></a>
<a href="http://www.educationalight.blogspot.in/" target="_blank">2. The main ways that humans are exposed to mercury are from contaminated fish and dental amalgams or silver fillings.</a><br />
<a href="http://www.educationalight.blogspot.in/" target="_blank"><br /></a>
<a href="http://www.educationalight.blogspot.in/" target="_blank">3. Mercury can affect nearly all your organs, especially the brain, heart, kidneys, and gut.</a><br />
<a href="http://www.educationalight.blogspot.in/" target="_blank"><br /></a>
<a href="http://www.educationalight.blogspot.in/" target="_blank">4. Many chronic diseases may be caused or worsened by mercury, including neurologic disease, ADHD, autism, heart disease, autoimmune diseases, and more.</a><br />
<br />
5. Some of us are genetically better adapted to detoxify mercury than others, leading to variable effects within the population.<br />
<br />
6. You should reduce your exposure by avoiding large ocean fish (like tuna, swordfish, shark, and tilefish) and river fish. Eat only small wild fish. If it fits in your pan, it is probably okay.<br />
<br />
7. Blood tests are relatively worthless for analyzing mercury toxicity, unless you have had a significant recent exposure or eat a lot of sushi or tuna.<br />
<br />
8. Hair tests only check for mercury from fish, not from fillings so they only give you a partial picture.<br />
<br />
9. The only way to find out your total body load of mercury is to take a medication with sulfur molecules that binds to the mercury like fly paper. This is called DMSA or DMPS.<br />
<br />
This test should ONLY be done by a trained physician and involves taking one dose of this medicine, followed by a 6- or 24-hour urine collection to see how much comes out. (In my opinion, the most reliable testing is done by www.doctorsdata.com).<br />
<br />
10. If you are toxic and sick, you may consider addressing your dental health by seeing a biological dentist who can safely help you deal with mercury in your mouth.<br />
<br />
Going to see a conventional dentist who drills out your fillings without any precautions or protection can lead to serious health consequences. I strongly advise against it. However, amalgam filling removal CAN be done safely and effectively done by a dentist trained in the correct techniques.<br />
<br />
That's all for this week. Next week, I'll give you more advice on how to safely eliminate the mercury in your body if you find you are toxic. Finding out if you are poisoned by mercury, limiting your exposures, and getting the mercury out of your body is absolutely critical if you want to achieve lifelong vibrant health.<br />
<br />
If you would like to read more of the extensive research on the biologic effects of mercury and toxins on human health, please link to this extensive online bibliography. If you have any doubt about the evidence of harm across a broad range of health conditions of mercury, you must do your homework and review the research yourself.<br />

<br />
Alopecia can be congenital (existing from birth or before), premature or senile ( old ). Here alopecia, means a patchy baldness of a temporary nature. The causes of baldness are unknown, but shock and anxiety are common factors for alopecia. In some cases, a circular patchy baldness is due to the hair folliculitis or micro-insect dewelling in the certain portion of the head which afterward goes on destroying the roots of hair-causing failing of hair with appearance of round bald spot (alopecia) over scalp, eye-brows on beard (barber's itch is sometimes, developed after the action of such micro insect dewelling in the scalp or in the skin of beard). The set prescriptions are used as under to cure the patchy baldness of temporary nature:-<br />
1. Thuja-30 or 200 - two doses per day or one dose every week and Thuja-Q for external use, two times a day, to cure white scaly dandruff or alopecia when the patient is having history of sycosis.<br />
2. Aloe-30, be used in alopecia whenever it is indicated with its guiding symptoms.<br />
3. Mobiloil of pure quality be used externally in all cases of alopecia for quick cure, as it is an anticeptic and destroys all micro-organisms (insects) dwelling in the affected spot.<br />
<b>Case no. 38 </b><br />
A boy of 21, had alopecia-baldness on the beard and vertex with constipated bowels, itching and burning of anus, better by cold water application little fissure of anus with pain during stool, patient liked cool open air. He was given - Aloe-30, two times a day and Mobil-oil for external use, patient had speedy cure within 15 days and complete cure in all troubles within one month.<br />
4. Acid Fluor. 30, in cases of dry, scurfy, pimply itching scalp, great falling of hair with syphilitic base, hair dry matting, breaking when combing, they become lusterless, and rugged in masses fall out and do not grow hereafter, be given morning and evening for about 5-0 weeks with external application of Mobil-oil on the circular patches.<br />
<b> Case no. 39 </b><br />
A girl of 10 years, had alopecia with congestion of blood in the head causing acute headache. Pain in the bones of arms, legs, bruised and aching pains all over the body, urine smelt pungent, she had weak memory, great debility, anaemia and vertigo when walking and rising from lying position. Caries of teeth and sweating of hands and feet, worse in warmth.<br />
Patient was given Fluoric acid-30, morning and evening and Calc. phos-200, one dose every week - that no other medicine on this day. Patient was cured of the alopecia within 5 weeks, hair started growing thick with the cure of bones pain.<br />
5. Grdphites. 30, be given when there is failing of hair due to barber's itch causing great itching of the scalp, bald spots on the sides of the head, sweating of head, it may be alternated with Sepia-30, when there is itching of scalp, weak roots of the hair - hair folliculitis-causing great fall in the hair during combing. Oozing of sticky fluid at the root of hair which forms scab on the scalp.<br />
6. Lyco. 30, be given after every 4 hours, in alternation with Calc. phos. 6x-in cases of falling of hair in bunches, leaving patches here and there with weak hair follicles and premature grey hair. Patient is having great craving for sweets, hut has thin dried slim constitution full of gas.<br />

A complete or partial, temporary or permanent loss of muscular power, movement or sensation in any part of the body. There is paralysis of the arm, leg, upper arm and lower leg of one side of the body, of both legs, urinary organs, tongue, lower bowels, etc. The degree of paralysis depends upon the nature of the underlying disease and its distribution in the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves or muscles.<br />
<b>Causes :</b><br />
Paralysis is caused by damage to the nerve supply which may in turn be the result of disease, trauma, cerebro-vascular accident (damage of blood vessels of the brain) or it may be due to ischaemia i.e. , deficient blood supply to the part affected). The sudden onset of paralysis is commonly called a stroke of paralysis - affecting usually one side of the body, because it is the result of an interruption of the flow of blood to the brain by clotting (thrombosis) that lodges in an artery of the brain, or sometimes due to rupture of the smallest artery of the brain. A stroke of paralysis can vary in severity from weakness and tingling in a limb to a profound paralysis, coma and death.<br />
<b>Types : </b><br />
<b>1. Motor paralysis </b><br />
A paralysis with no movement of the affected part of the body, i.e. , paralysis of arm of leg occurring in middle or old age causing muscular weakness and wasting of the affected limb.<br />
<b>2. Sensory paralysis</b><br />
When the movement of a particular part and the sensory nerve attached to it are affected<br />
<b>3. Hemiplegia </b><br />
Paralysis of one side of the body, usually resulting from a cerebrovascular accident, i.e. , a damage to a blood vessel of the brain caused by a disease on the opposite hemisphere (side) of the brain. For example, if a blood clot or disease has affected the right side of the brain, then there would be paralysis of left side of the body and vice-versa. In this type of paralysis movement of face and arm is often more severely affected than those of the leg. The affected side of the body becomes very weak and inactive, speech may be lost altogether or become slurred and the sufferer has difficulty in finding the right word to express himself. Many cases of hemiplegia can be cured with timely excercises or physiotherapy.<br />
<b> 4. Paraplegia </b><br />
Paraplegia or diplegia is the paralysis of both legs, usually with the bladder and rectum. It is due to disease or injury of the spinal cord and is often accompanied by loss of sensation below the level of the injury or lesion and disturbed bladder function.<br />
A woman,suffering from paralysis of both legs, bladder and lower bowels due to severe injury of spinal cord, cutting a main nerve supplying to legs, bladder and rectum when she fell down from the roof of a house. There was no excretion of urine and faeces, no sensation in legs. She died after ten days.<br />
<b>5. Poliomyelitis </b><br />
Poliomyelitis or polio is an infectious viral disease affecting the central nervous system. Poliovirus causes poliomyelitis afflicting little children or infants with infantile paralysis.<br />
The three parts of the brain, medulla oblongata, pons varolii, that links with the medulla oblongata and contains numerous nerve tracts between the cerebral cortex and the spinal cord, and midbrain. The midbrain is the small portion of the brain stem, situated just below the pons varolii and pons varolii is just above the medulla oblongata. All these three parts are in a straight line and these form the brain stem.<br />
The polio virus is excreted in the faeces of an infected person and the disease is, therefore, most common where sanitation is poor. Polio may attack those who have not acquired immunity to the disease during infancy. Symptoms commence 7-12 days after infection. Polio virus is usually transmitted to man by the bite of a tick (a blood- sucking parasite - the tick bites can cause serious skin lesions, tick fever and occasionally paralysis and latter may attack the nervous system with inflammation of the brain and spinal cord). In poliomyelitis, there is fever, malaise, headache, sometimes diarrhoea and vomiting. But in some case there is severe rise of temperature with other symptoms similar to meningitis, with vomiting and diarrhoea and weakness of the muscles of the body. Paralysis may appear as the temperature subsides. Any part of the body can be affected by polio but it is mostly seen in the lower limbs which eventually become atrophied or emaciated. Therefore, it becomes necessary to give polio drops to the child at infancy stage.<br />
<b>6. Paralysis agitans</b><br />
It is a chronic form of paralysis and is also called Parkinson's disease or shaking palsy. See Parkinsons's disease.<br />
<b>7. Bulbar paralysis</b><br />
A paralysis of muscles of the mouth, tongue and throat resulting from a damage to the medulla oblongata.<br />
<b>8. Bell's palsy</b><br />
Palsy is a term used for paralysis. Bell's palsy is the paralysis of the facial nerve, causing weakness of the muscles of one side of the face and inability to close the eye. In other words, Bell's palsy is a facial hemiparesis (paralysis of half side of the face) from oedema of the seventh cranial nerve. The cause is unknown, recovery normally occurs in due course of time. But it is difficult to cure, if it occurs just after the birth of the child. (Charles Bell, Scottish physician, 1774-1842).<br />
<b>9. Post-diphtheritic paralysis </b><br />
A paralysis following the attack of diphtheria. There is paralysis of vocal cords, throat and muscles of the upper respiratory tract. Death occurs within a few days, if not treated immediately. It is a serious kind of paralysis and difficult to cure. See case No. 551.<br />
<b>10. Paresis </b><br />
It is a partial, slight paralysis or muscular weakness of a limb with numbness, heaviness and crawling sensation in the affected part. The term is implied more for weakness than for paralysis.<br />
<b>11. Spastic paralysis </b><br />
<b>Causes : </b><br />
Besides the causes said above under various types of paralysis, high blood pressure, or a damage to the nervous system with lesion, tumour or thrombosis may cause rupture of the blood vessel of the brain and complete paralysis of the whole body and eventual death. The other causes of paralysis are alcoholism, poisoning of blood by eating poisonous things, which damage the brain-stem.<br />

<b><br /></b>
<b>Description</b><br />
Purpura is a purplish discoloration of the skin produced by small bleeding vessels near the surface. Purpura may also occur in the mucous membranes, especially of the mouth, and in the internal organs. Purpura is not a disease per se but is indicative of an underlying cause of bleeding.<br />
When purpura spots are very small (<1 cm in diameter), they are called petechiae or petechial haemorrhages. Larger, deeper purpura are referred to as ecchymoses or bruising.<br />
Purpura may occur with either normal platelet counts (non-thrombocytopenic purpuras) or decreased platelet counts (thrombocytopenic purpuras). Platelets help maintain the integrity of the capillary lining as well as being important in the clotting process. As a general rule, purpura indicates a problem of the platelet system whilst a deficiency of clotting factors will cause haematomas or haemarthrosis as in haemophilia. Nevertheless, clotting factor deficiency must be considered.<br />
<b>History</b><br />
Note the age of the patient. Henoch-Schönlein purpura tends to occur in children.[4] Senile purpura is confined to the elderly.[5] Leukaemia and myeloproliferative disorders can occur at any age.<br />
How long has the rash been present? Is it changing noticeably? Meningococcal septicaemia will be very recent in origin and changing almost visibly.<br />
Is the patient otherwise well? If a child has developed a purpuric, possibly meningococcal, rash but does not seem unwell, do not be lured into a false sense of security. That child may be moribund just 20 minutes later.<br />
Has general easy bruising been noticed? Other components of a routine history should be gone through (past medical history, medical and allergic history - including any over-the-counter drugs - and social history are all relevant).<br />
<br />
I<b>nvestigations</b><br />
This will be guided by the differential diagnosis, much of which will already have been excluded.<br />
FBC, ESR, platelets. The platelet count is fundamental. Leukaemia or related diseases may produce anaemia and leukocytopenia. ESR may indicate an inflammatory process. It is very nonspecific.<br />
LFTs to check for liver disease.<br />
A coagulation screen will screen for clotting factor deficiencies.<br />
If the patient is on warfarin, check INR.<br />
Plasma electrophoresis may show hypergammaglobulinaemia, paraproteinaemia and cryoglobulinaemia.<br />
Autoantibody screen for connective tissue disorders.<br />
The clinical condition may indicate further investigations, including blood culture and lumbar puncture.<br />
<br />
<b>Associated diseases</b><br />
These have been outlined in 'Differential diagnosis', above. Here are some points you may wish to bear in mind.<br />
<br />
<b>Bacterial infections</b><br />
Those that cause purpuric rashes include meningococcal septicaemia, streptococcal septicaemia and diphtheria. Several acute viral infections also cause purpuric rashes. These include smallpox, chickenpox, measles, parvovirus B19 and haemorrhagic fevers caused by Ebola virus, Rift Valley virus and Lassa fever.<br />
<br />
<b>Allergic vasculitic purpura</b><br />
This is caused by inflammation and infiltration of the blood vessel wall as an anaphylactic reaction to a number of physical and chemical stimuli, including infections. Henoch-Schönlein purpura is one of the most common. Is often preceded by an upper respiratory tract infection due to beta-haemolytic streptococcal infection. It can occur in epidemics in young children with a fever followed by a purpuric rash, that may be slightly raised. Typically, it affects the fronts of the legs and the buttocks. There may be associated acute arthritis, gastrointestinal pain and nephritis with proteinuria. The rash may continue to form over several weeks. Serious acute complications include central nervous system (CNS) bleeding, acute intussusception or acute renal failure. Usually it is a self-limiting condition but it may respond to steroids.<br />
<br />
<b>Strong steroids</b><br />
Long-term use of strong steroids can cause widespread purpura and bruising, normally on extensor surfaces of the hands, arms and thighs. It is caused by atrophy of the collagen fibres supporting blood vessels in the skin. A similar appearance is also found in senile-type purpura.<br />
<br />
<b>Blood transfusions</b><br />
Severe thrombocytopenia 5 to 12 days after receiving a blood product containing platelets is a rare complication, usually confined to multiparous[9] women. It is due to the production of an antibody to a specific platelet antigen that the woman normally lacks. The patient normally recovers within 1 to 3 weeks but the condition can be lethal and may need treatment with plasmapheresis or intravenous (IV) immunoglobulins.<br />

<br />
What is arthritis?<br />
if you have trouble moving around or feel pain and stiffness in your body, you could have arthritis. In the majority of cases arthritis causes pain and swelling in the joints.<br />
Eventually a swollen joint can suffer severe damage. In some cases, arthritis can cause problems in the patient's eye, skin or other or<br />
Arthritis is not a single disease - it is a term that covers over 100 medical conditions. Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis and generally affects elderly patients. Some forms of arthritis can affect people at a very early age.<br />
gouty pains with swelling of right big toe, great inflammation redness and hotness of the toe-joint. She had great buring heat emitting with neuralgic, throbbing tearing pains in the joint, aggravated by warmth of bed, and hot fomentations, but chilling cold of winter also made the pains worse.<br />
Sole, under big toe was red, hot swollen and was sore to touch with lame,walking on the floor.<br />
Types of arthritis<br />
There are over 100 types of arthritis. Here is a description of some common ones, together with the causes:<br />
Osteoarthritis<br />
With osteoarthritis, the cartilage loses its elasticity. If the cartilage is stiff it becomes damaged more easily. The cartilage, which acts as a shock absorber, will gradually wear away in some areas. As the cartilage becomes damaged tendons and ligaments become stretched, causing pain. Eventually the bones may rub against each other causing very severe pain.<br />
Rheumatoid arthritis<br />
This is an inflammatory form of arthritis. The synovial membrane (synovium) is attacked, resulting in swelling and pain. If left untreated the arthritis can lead to deformity.Rheumatoid arthritis is significantly more common in women than men and generally strikes when the patient is aged between 40 and 60. However, children and much older people may also be affected.During the first ten years after diagnosis, patients with rheumatoid arthritis have a higher risk of blood clots.<br />
Infectious arthritis (septic arthritic)<br />
<br />
Infectious arthritis is an infection in the synovial fluid and tissues of a joint. It is usually caused by bacteria, but could also be caused by fungi or viruses.Bacteria, fungi or viruses may spread through the bloodstream from infected tissue nearby, and infect a joint.Most susceptible people are those who already have some form of arthritis and develop an infection that travels in the bloodstream.<br />
Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA)Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis is a type of arthritis that affects a person aged 16 or less. JRA can be various forms of arthritis; it basically means that a child has it.<br />
There are three main types:<br />
1/Pauciarticular JRA, the most common and mildest. The child experiences pain in up to 4 joints.<br />
2/Polyarticular JRA affects more joints and is more severe. As time goes by it tends to get worse.<br />
3/ Systemic JRA is the least common. Pain is experienced in many joints. It can spread to organs. This can be the most serious JRA.<br />
Signs and symptoms<br />
Osteoarthritis of the knee<br />
The most commonly affected joints with osteoarthritis are in the hips, hands, knees and spine.<br />
The symptoms of arthritis depend on the type, for example:<br />
Osteoarthritis<br />
The symptoms of osteoarthritis develop slowly and get worse as time goes by. There is pain in a joint, either during or after use, or after a period of inactivity. There will be tenderness when pressure is applied to the joint. The joint will be stiff, especially first thing in the morning.<br />
The patient may find it harder to use the joint - it loses its flexibility. Some patients experience a grating sensation when they use the joint. Hard lumps, or bone spurs may appear around the joint. In some cases the joint might swell.<br />
The most commonly affected joints are in the hips, hands, knees and spine.<br />
Rheumatoid arthritis<br />
The patient often finds the same joints in each side of the body are painfully swollen, inflamed, and stiff. The fingers, arms, legs and wrists are most commonly affected.<br />
Symptoms are usually worst on waking up in the morning and the stiffness can last for 30 minutes at this time. The joint is tender when touched. Hands may be red and puffy. There may be rheumatoid nodules (bumps of tissue under the skin of the patient's arms).<br />
Many patients with rheumatoid arthritis feel tired most of the time. Weight loss is common.The smaller joints are usually noticeably affected first. Experts say patients with rheumatoid arthritis have problems with several joints at the same time.<br />
As the arthritis progresses it spreads from the smaller joints in your hands, wrists, ankles and feet to your elbows, knees, hips, neck, shoulders and jaw.<br />
Infectious arthritis<br />
The patient commonly has a fever, joint inflammation and swelling with infectious arthritis. They will feel tenderness and/or a sharp pain. Often these symptoms are linked to an injury or another illness.<br />
Most commonly affected areas are the knee, shoulder, elbow, wrist and finger. In the majority of cases just one joint is affected.<br />
Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis<br />
The patient is a child and will experience intermittent fevers which tend to peak in the evening and then suddenly disappear. Appetite will be poor and weight may be lost.<br />
There may be blotchy rashes on arms and legs. Anemia is also common. The child may limp or have a sore wrist, finger, or knee. A joint may suddenly swell and stay larger than it usually is. The child may experience a stiff neck, hips or some other joint.<br />
Homoeopathy<br />
Arnic = 200 one dose in the beginning and after one hour-Ruta. 30 in alternation with CP6x.-4 grains dose after every 2-4 hours for two days.<br />
Same medicines -with one more dose of Arnica -200 were repeated in the same order,helpful for acute arthritis.Some emergency medicines for arthritis if applied constitutionally APIS,ACID-BENZ,LEDUM,LITHIUM-CARB,CALC,CALC-FLOUR,LEDUM,LYCO,GRAPH,CAUTICUM,CAULOPH, </div>

Leucorrhoea is a sticky, watery, whitish discharge of mucus from the vaginal passage. It may occur normally at all times and its quantity may increase before and after menstruation. An abnormal and large discharge may indicate some infection in the uterus, cervix and lower reproductive tract, for example vaginitis, ulceration or suppurative swelling of vagina, extending to cervix, causing endocervicitis (inflammation of the mucous lining of the neck of the womb) in which surface cells, i.e. , epithelium, may die. Therefore, destruction of these cells and their debris results in their white or yellow discharge from the vaginal opening. (See also trichomonas vaginalis under vaginitis.) <br />
In some cases the swelling of uterus (metritis) or mucosa of the uterus (endometritis) causes excessive leucorrhoea with pressing down in the vagina and in some cases with a sensation as if everything would pass out through the vagina. Leucorrhoea has different types of discharges with different colours. In some cases, it is albuminous, thick, slimy, white mucous like pieces of curd or white of an egg and in some cases it is watery, acrid and corroding in nature. There is itching in the vaginal passage and discharge has offensive smell. It has various colours white, pale yellow, yellowish green, ash-grey, blood or pink colour. <br />

Means- suffocation, or life threatening condition of body, in which there is cessation of breathing, or in which oxygen is prevented from reaching the tissue by obstruction of, or damage to any part of the respiratory system. In such cases, the oxygen content of the blood falls and carbondioxide conent of blood rises, which paralyses the respiratory system. Drowning, chocking and breathing of poisonous gas etc. all lead to asphyxia, then cyanosis and finally leading to death - because brain cells can not live for more than about four minutes without oxygen. Blue Asphyxia is the deep blue appearance of newborn baby. Blue- big spots or livid spots over limbs, back, or abdomen are due to lack of oxygen in the blood or poor oxygenation of blood that is being supplied to the concerned tissue or part of the body. In lungs, oxygen' is prevented from reaching there due to the damage in the respiratory system.' <br />
Aspiration. (1) The act of inspiration (2) Withdrawl or removal of watery., fluid from the body cavities or from the cysts, inflamed joints or ear cavity. <br />
Assimilation. The process by which food substances are taken into the cell; of the body where they are digested and absorbed.<br />

This natural period in a woman's life allows her to express acute and striking symptoms that return regularly in a particular order. <br />
This is a fantastic gold-mine of information for the homeopath who can analyze all the symptoms such as bulimia, coryza, faintness, headache, insomnia, leukorrhea, migraine, nervousness, pains, sexual desire, sighing, etc., that occur before, during and after the flows of blood. <br />

It is impossible to divine the internal essential nature of diseases and
the changes they effect in the hidden parts of the body, and it is
absurd to frame a system of treatment on such hypothetical surmises and
assumptions : it is impossible to divine toe medicinal properties of
remedies from any chemical hypotheses or from their smell, colour, or
taste, and it is absurd to attempt, from such hypothetical surmises and
assumptions, to apply to the treatment of diseases these substances,
which are so hurtful when wrongly administered. And even were such
practice ever so customary and ever so generally in use, were it even
the only one in vogue for thousands of years, it would nevertheless
continue to be a senseless and pernicious practice to found on empty
surmises our idea of the morbid condition of the anterior, and to
attempt to combat this with equally imaginary properties of medicines. <br />
[H2] Appreciable, distinctly appreciable to our senses must that be,
which is to be removed in each disease in order to transform it into
health, and right clearly must each remedy express what it can
positively cure, if medical art is to be a wanton game of hazard with
human life, and to commence to be the sure deliverer from diseases. <br />
[H2] I shall show what there is undeniably curable in diseases, and how
the curative properties of medicines are to be distinctly perceived and
employed for curative purposes. <br />
[H2] * * * * <br />
[H2] What life is can only be known empirically from its phenomena and
manifestations, but no conception of it can be formed by any
meta-physical speculations à priori; what life is, in its actual
essential nature, can never be ascertained or even guessed at, by
mortals. <br />
[H2] To the explanation of human life, as also its two-fold conditions,
health and disease, the principles by which we explain other phenomena
are quite inapplicable. With nought in the world can we compare it save
with itself alone; neither with a piece of clockwork, nor with a
hydraulic machine, nor with chemical processes, not with decompositions
and recompositions of gases, nor yet with a galvanic battery, in short
with nothing destitute of life. Human life is in no respect regulated by
purely physical laws, which only obtain among inorganic substances. The
material substances of which the human organism is composed no longer
follow, in this vital combination, the laws to which material substances
in the inanimate condition are subject; they are regulated by the laws
peculiar to vitality alone, they are themselves animated and vitalized
just as the whole system is animated and vitalized. Here a nameless
fundamental power reigns omnipotent, which abrogates all the tendency of
the component parts of the body to obey the laws of gravitation, of
momentum, of the vis inertiae, of fermentation, of putrefaction, and c.,
and brings them under the wonderful laws of life alone, -in other
words, maintains them in the condition of sensibility and activity
necessary to the preservation of the living whole, a condition almost
spiritually dynamic. <br />
[H2] Now, as the condition of the organism and its health depend solely
on the health of the life which animates it, in like manner it follows
that the altered health, which we term disease, consists in a condition
altered originally only in its vital sensibilities and functions,
irrespective of all chemical or mechanical considerations; in short it
must consist in a dynamically altered condition, a changed mode of
being, whereby a change in the properties of the material component
parts of the body is afterwards effected, which is a necessary
consequence of the morbidly altered condition of the living whole in
every individual case. <br />
[H2] Moreover, the influence of morbific injurious agencies, which for
the most part excite from without the various maladies in us, is
generally so invisible and so immaterial, * that it is impossible that
it can immediately either mechanically disturb or derange the component
parts of our body in their form and substance, or infuse any pernicious
acrid fluid into our blood-vessels whereby the mass of our humours can
be chemically altered and depraved - an inadmissible, quite unprovable,
gross invention of mechanical minds. The exciting causes of disease
rather act by means of their essential properties on the state of our
life (on our health), only in a dynamic, very similar to a spiritual,
manner; and inasmuch as they first derange the organs of the higher rank
and of the vital force, there occurs from this state of derangement,
from this dynamic alteration of the living whole, an altered sensation
(uneasiness, pains) and an altered activity (abnormal functions) of each
individual organ and of all of them collectively, whereby there must
also of necessity secondarily occur alteration of the juices in our
vessels and secretion of abnormal matters, the inevitable consequence of
the altered vital character, which now differs from the healthy state. <br />
[H2] These abnormal matters that show themselves in diseases are
consequently merely products of the disease itself, which, as long as
the malady retains its present character, must of necessity be secreted,
and thus constitute a portion of the morbid signs (symptoms); they are
merely affects, and therefore manifestations of the existing internal
ill-health, and they do certainly not react (although they often contain
the infecting principle for other, healthy individuals) upon the
diseased body that produced them, as disease-exciting or maintaining
substances, that is, as material morbific causes, * just as a person
cannot infect other parts of his own body at the same time with the
virus from his own chancre or with the gonorrhoeal matter from his own
urethra, or increase his disease therewith, or as a viper cannot inflict
on itself a fatal bite with its own poison. <br />
[H2] Hence it is obvious that diseases excited by the dynamic and
virtual influence of morbific injurious agents can be originally only
dynamical derangements (caused almost solely by a spiritual process) of
the vital character of our organism. <br />
[H2] We readily perceive that these dynamic derangements of the vital
character of our organism which we term diseases, since they are nothing
else than altered sensations and functions, can also express themselves
by nothing but by an aggregate of symptoms, and only as such are they
cognisable to our observing powers. <br />
[H2] Now, as in a profession of such importance to human life as
medicine is, nothing but the state of the diseased body plainly
cognisable by our perceptive faculties can be recognised as the object
to be cured, and ought to guide our steps (to choose conjectures and
undemonstrable hypotheses as our guide here would be dangerous folly,
nay crime and treason against humanity), it follows, that since
diseases, as dynamic derangements of the vital character, express
themselves solely by alterations of the sensations and functions of our
organism, that is, solely by an aggregate of cognisable symptoms, this
alone can be the object of treatment in every case of disease. For on
the removal of all morbid symptoms nothing remains but health. <br />
[H2] Now, because diseases are only dynamic derangements of our health
and vital character, they cannot be removed by man otherwise than by
means of agents and powers which also are capable of producing dynamical
derangements of the human health, that is to say, diseases are cured
virtually and dynamically by medicines. + <br />
[H2] These active substances and powers (medicines) which we have at
our service effect the cure of diseases by means of the same dynamic
power of altering the actual state of health, by means of the same power
of deranging the vital character of our organism in respect of its
sensations and functions, by which they are able to affect also the
healthy individual, to produce in him dynamic changes and certain morbid
symptoms, the knowledge of which, as we shall see, affords us the most
trustworthy information concerning the morbid states that can be most
certainly cured by each particular medicine. Hence nothing in the world
can accomplish a cure, no substance, no power can effect a change in the
human organism of such a character as that the disease shall yield to
it, except an agent capable of absolutely (dynamically) deranging the
human health, consequently also of morbidly altering its healthy state. *
<br />
[H2] On the other hand, however, there is also no agent, no power in
nature capable of morbidly affecting the healthy individual, which does
not at the same time possess the faculty of curing certain morbid
states. <br />
[H2] Now, as the power of curing diseases, as also of morbidly
affecting the healthy, is met with in inseparable combination in all
medicines, and as both these properties evidently spring from one and
the same source, namely, from their power of dynamically deranging human
health, and as it is hence impossible that they can act according to a
different inherent natural law in the sick to that according to which
they act on the healthy; it follows that it must be the same power of
the medicine that cures the disease in the sick as produces the morbid
symptoms in the healthy. + <br />
[H2] Hence also we shall find that the curative power of medicines, and
that which each of them is able to effect in diseases, expresses itself
in no other mode in the world so surely and palpably, and cannot be
ascertained by us by any purer and more perfect manner than by the
morbid phenomena and symptoms (the kinds of artificial diseases) which
the medicines develop in healthy individuals. For if we only have before
us records of the peculiar (artificial) morbid symptoms produced by the
various medicines on healthy individuals, we only require a series of
pure experiments to decide what medicinal symptoms will always rapidly
and permanently cure and remove certain symptoms of disease, in order to
know, in every case beforehand, which of all the different medicines
known and thoroughly tested as to their peculiar symptoms must be the
most certain remedy in every case of disease. ++ <br />
[H2] If then we ask experience what artificial diseases (observed to be
produced by medicines) can be beneficially employed against certain
natural morbid states; if we ask it whether the change to health (cure)
may be expected to ensue most certainly and in the most permanent manner
: <br />
[H2] 1, by the use of such medicines as are capable of producing in the
healthy body a different (alloeopathic) affection from that exhibited
by the disease to be cured, <br />
[H2] 2, or by the employment of such as are capable of exciting in the
healthy individual an opposite (enantiopathic, antipathic) state to that
of the case to be cured, <br />
[H2] 3, or by the administration of such medicines as can cause a
similar (homoeopathic) state to the natural disease before us (for these
are the only three possible modes of employing them), experience speaks
indubitably for the last method. <br />
[H2] But it is moreover self-evident that medicines which act
heterogeneously and alloeopathically, which tend to develop in the
healthy subject different symptoms from those presented by the disease
to be cured, from the every nature of things can never be suitable and
efficacious in this case, but they must act awry, otherwise all diseases
must necessarily be cured in a rapid, certain and permanent manner by
all medicine, however different. Now, as every medicine possesses an
action different from that of every other, and as, according to eternal
natural laws, every disease causes a derangement of the human health
different from that caused by all other diseases, this proposition
contains an innate contraction (contradictionem in adjecto), and is
self-demonstrative of the impossibility of a good result, since every
given change can only be effected by an adequate cause, but not per
quamlibet causam. And daily experience also proves that the ordinary
practice or prescribing complex recipes containing a variety of unknown
medicines in diseases, does indeed do many things, but very rarely
cures. <br />
[H2] The second mode of treating diseases by medicines is the
employment of an agent capable of altering the existing derangement of
the health (the disease, or most prominent morbid symptom) in an
enantiopathic, antipathic, or contrary manner (the palliative employment
of a medicine). Such an employment, as will be readily seen, cannot
effect a permanent cure of the disease, because the malady must soon
afterwards recur, and that in an aggravated degree. The process that
takes place is as follow : - According to a wonderful provision of
nature, organized living beings are not regulated by the laws of
unorganized (dead) physical matter, they do not receive the influence of
external agents, like the latter, in a passive manner, but strive to
oppose a contrary action of them. * <br />
[H2] The living human body does indeed allow itself to be in the first
instance changed by the action of physical agents; but this change is
not in it as in inorganic substances, permanent (- as it ought
necessarily to be if the medicinal agent acting in a contrary manner to
the disease should have a permanent effect, and be of durable benefit -)
: on the contrary, the living human organism strives to develop by
antagonism * the exact opposite of the affection first produced in it
from without, -as for instance, a hand kept long enough in ice-cold
water, after being withdrawn does not remain cold, nor merely assume the
temperature of the surrounding atmosphere, as a stone (dead) ball would
do, or even resume the temperature of the rest of the body, no! the
colder the water of the bath was, and the longer it acted on the healthy
skin of the hand, the more inflamed and hotter does the latter
afterwards become. <br />
[H2] Therefore it cannot but happen that a medicine having an action
opposite to the symptoms of the disease, will reverse the morbid
symptoms for but a very short time, + but must soon give place to the
antagonism inherent in the living body, which produces an opposite
state, that is to say, a state the direct contrary of that transient
delusive state of the health effected by the palliative (and
corresponding to the original malady), which constitutes an actual
addition to the now recurring, uneradicated, original affection, and is
consequently an increased degree of the original disease. And thus the
malady is always certainly aggravated after the palliative - the
medicine that acts in an opposite and enantiopathic manner - has
exhausted its action. ++ <br />
[H2] In chronic diseases, -the true touch-stone of a genuine healing
art, -the injurious character of the antagonistically-acting
(palliative) remedy often displays itself in a high degree, since from
its repeated exhibition in order that it should merely produce its
delusive effect (a very transient semblance of health) it must be
administered in larger and ever larger doses, which are often productive
of serious danger to life, or even of actual death. § <br />
[H2] There remains, therefore, only a third mode of employing medicines
in order to effect a really beneficial result, to wit, by employing in
every case such an one as tends to excite of itself an artificial,
morbid affection in the organism similar (homoeopathic), best if very
similar, to the actual case of disease. <br />
[H2] That this mode of employing medicines is and must of necessity be
the only best method, can easily be proved by reasoning, as it has also
already been confirmed both by innumerable experiences of physicians who
practise according to my doctrines, and by daily experience. * <br />
[H2] It will, therefore, not be difficult to perceive what are the laws
of nature according to which the only appropriate cure of diseases, the
homoeopathic, takes place, and must necessarily take place. <br />
[H2] The first of these unmistakable laws of nature is : the
susceptibility of the living organism for natural diseases is
incomparably less than it is for medicines. <br />
[H2] A multitude of disease-exciting causes act daily and hourly upon
us, but they are incapable of deranging the equilibrium of the health,
or of making the healthy sick; the activity of the life-sustaining power
within us usually withstands the most of them, the individual remains
healthy. It is only when these external inimical agencies assail us in a
very aggravated degree, and we are especially exposed to their
influence, that we get ill, but even then we only become seriously ill
when our organism has a particularly impressionable, weak side
(predisposition), that makes it more disposed to be affected by the
(simple or compound) morbific cause in question, and to be deranged in
its health. <br />
[H2] If the inimical agents in nature that are partly physical and
partly physical, which are termed morbific noxae, possessed an
unconditional power of deranging the human health, they would, as they
are universally distributed, not leave any one in good health; every one
would be ill, and we should never be able to obtain an idea of health.
But as, taken on the whole, diseases are only exceptional states of the
human health, and it is necessary that such a number of circumstances
and conditions, both as regards the morbific agents and the individual
to be affected with disease, should conjoin before a disease is produced
by its exciting causes, it follows, that the individual is so little
liable to be affected by such noxae, that they can never unconditionally
make him ill, and that the human organism is capable of being deranged
to disease by them only by means of a particular predisposition. <br />
[H2] But it is far otherwise with the artificial dynamic agents which
we term medicines. For every true medicine acts at all times, under all
circumstances, on every living, animated body, and excites in it the
symptoms peculiar to it (even in a way perceptible to the senses if the
dose be large enough) so that evidently every living human organism must
always and inevitably be affected by the medicinal disease and, as it
were, infected, which, as is well known, is not the case with respect to
natural diseases. * <br />
[H2] All experience proves incontestably, that the human body is much
more apt and disposed to be affected by medicinal agents and to have its
health deranged by them, than by the morbific noxae and contagious
miasms, or, what is the same thing, that the medicinal agents possess an
absolute power of deranging human health, whereas the morbific agents
possess only a very conditional power, vastly inferior to the former. <br />
[H2] To this circumstance it is owing that medicines are able to cure
diseases at all (that is to say, we see, that the morbid affection may
be eradicated from the diseased organism, if the latter be subjected to
the appropriate alteration by means of medicine); but in order that the
cure should take place, the second natural law should also be fulfilled,
to wit, a stronger dynamic affection permanently extinguishes the
weaker in the living organism, provided the former be similar in kind to
the latter; for the dynamic alteration of the health to be anticipated
from the medicine should, as I think I have proved, neither differ in
kind from or be alloeopathic to the morbid derangement, in order that,
as happens in the ordinary mode of practice, a still greater derangement
may not ensue; nor should it be opposite to it, in order that a merely
palliative delusive amelioration may not ensue, to be followed by an
inevitable aggravation of the original malady; but the medicine must
have been proved by observations to possess the tendency to develop of
itself a state of health similar to the disease (be able to excite
similar symptoms in the healthy body), in order to be a remedy of
permanent efficacy. <br />
[H2] Now, as the dynamic affections of the organism (caused by disease
or by medicine) are only cognisable by the phenomena of altered function
and altered sensation, and consequently the similarity of its dynamic
affections to one another can only express themselves by similarity of
symptoms; but as the organism (as being much more liable to be deranged
by medicine than by disease) must yield more to the medicinal affection,
that is to say, must be more disposed to allow itself to be influenced
and deranged by medicine than by the similar natural morbid affection,
it follows undeniably, that it will be freed from the natural morbid
affection if we allow a medicine to act on it, which, while differing *
in its nature from the disease, resembles it very closely in the
symptoms it causes, that is to say, is homoeopathic; for the organism,
as a living, individual unity, cannot receive two similar dynamic
affections at the same time, without the weaker yielding to the stronger
similar one; consequently, as it is more disposed to be more strongly
affected by the one (the medicinal affection), the other, similar,
weaker one (the natural morbid affection) must necessarily give way; and
the organism is therefore cured of its disease. <br />
[H2] Let it not be imagined that the living organism, if a new similar
affection be communicated to it when diseased by a dose of homoeopathic
medicine, will be thereby more seriously deranged, that is, burdened
with an addition to its sufferings, just as a leaden plate already
pressed upon by an iron weight is still more severely squeezed by
placing a stone in addition upon it; or as a piece of copper heated by
friction must become still hotter by pouring on it water at a more
elevated temperature. No, our living organism does not behave passively,
it is not subject to the laws that govern dead matter; it reacts by
vital antagonism, so as to surrender itself as an individual living
whole to its morbid derangement, and to allow this to be extinguished
within it, when a stronger affection of a similar kind, produced in it
by homoeopathic medicine, takes possession of it. <br />
[H2] Such a spiritually reaching being is our living, human organism
which with automatic power expels from itself a weaker derangement
(disease), whenever the stronger power of the homoeopathic medicine
produces in it another but very similar affection; or in other words,
which, on account of the unity of its life, cannot suffer at the same
time from two similar general derangements, but must discard the primary
dynamic affection (disease), whenever it is acted on by a second
dynamic power (medicine), more capable of deranging it, that has a great
resemblance to the former in its power of affecting the health (its
symptoms). Something similar takes place in the human mind. + <br />
[H2] But as the human organism even in health is more capable of being
affected by medicine than by disease, as I have shown above, so when it
is diseased, it is beyond comparison more affectable by homoeopathic
medicine than by any other (whether alloeopathic or enantiopathic) and
indeed it is affectable in the hightest degree; since, as it is already
disposed and excited by the disease to certain symptoms, it must now be
more susceptible of the altering influence of similar symptoms (by the
homoeopathic medicine) -just as similar mental affections render the
mind much more sensitive to similar emotions - hence only the smallest
dose of them is necessary and useful for their cure, that is, for
altering the diseased organism into the similar medicinal disease; and a
greater one is not necessary on this account also, because the
spiritual power of the medicine does not in this instance accomplish its
object by means of quantity, but by potentiality and quality (dynamic
fitness, homoeopathy), -and a greater dose is not useful, but on the
contrary injurious, because whilst the larger dose, on the one hand,
does not dynamically overpower the morbid affection more certainly than
the smallest dose of the most appropriate medicine, on the other hand it
imposes a complex medicinal disease in its place, which is always a
malady, though it passes off after a certain time. <br />
[H2] Hence the organism will be powerfully affected and taken
possession of the power of even a very small dose of a medicinal
substance, which by its tendency to excite similar symptoms, can
outweigh and extinguish the totality of the symptoms of the disease; it
becomes, as I have said, free from the morbid affection at the very
instant that it is taken possession of by the medicinal affection, by
which it is immeasurably more liable to be altered. <br />
[H2] Now, as medicinal agents do of themselves, even in larger doses,
only keep the healthy organism for a few days under their influence, it
will readily be conceived that a small dose, and in acute diseases a
very small dose of them (as it ought evidently to be in homoeopathic
treatment), can only affect the system for a short time; the smallest
doses, indeed, in acute diseases, only for a few hours; and then the
medicinal affection substituted for the disease passes unobservedly and
very rapidly into pure health. <br />
[H2] In the permanent cure of diseases by medicines in living organisms
nature seems never to act otherwise than in accordance with these her
manifest laws, and then indeed she acts, if we may use the expression,
with mathematical certainty. There is no case of adynamic disease in the
world (excepting the death struggle, old age, if it can be considered a
disease, and the destruction of some indispensable viscus or member),
whose symptoms can be met with in great similarity among the positive
effects of a medicine, which will not be rapidly and permanently cured
by this medicine. The diseased individual can be freed from his malady,
in no more easy, rapid, certain, reliable and permanent manner, by any
conceivable mode of treatment, * than by means of the homoeopathic
medicine in small doses.<br />

Hypothermia is a condition, which happens very commonly during winter to infants and old peoples.<br />
<br />
When body temperature goes below 35.0 °C or 95.°F and it is harmful because body metabolism and body function gets affected negatively by hypothermia.<br />
<br />
Recently, a 65-year-old female patient came to clinic complaining of episodic fever with chilliness. When I take her temperature I found it to be 98.5 and upon this she said at this time she is feeling okay so she has normal temperature. I gave her a thermometer and asked her family member to record temperature when she feels fever with chilliness.<br />
<br />
Further, she describes these episodes even in bed in early morning, afternoon, and evening with dryness of throat, altered taste in mouth, and anxiety and fear.<br />
<br />
Few days later, family reported that they are getting temperature around 95° F and so no fever. I told them it is a bad sign and when she has low temperature try to warm her.<br />
<br />
Few days later, family reported me that she has continued to have these episodes even now with much better warm clothing on her body as well on her bed and they are concerned about to find out what is the cause of this episodic hypothermia. I reassured them and just try to keep her warm when these episodes occur and I decided to visit the patient's house to find out any possible cause there.<br />
<br />
In patient's house I noticed that she is staying in drawing room with four doors and two windows so I was confident that this room must be always cold so I advised her to be shifted in other room and Gave her Nux Moschata 30c 1 drum (homeopathically indicated medicine for her) and she responded to both these measures and no further episodes of such possible hypothermia.<br />
<br />
So old people should stay in a warm room not a constantly chilled room during winter.</div>

<br />
Prolonged or recurrent diarrhea disturbs the normal development of a child so it must be treated as soon as possible with homoeopathy and other natural treatment and should not put child on antibiotics very early. There are many causes for diarrhea in which infection and irregularities in eating are main causes.<br />
<br />
I am presenting a very useful list of common symptoms/events of diarrhea consisting of A to Z (28) symptoms/events.<br />
<br />
Please read from above to below carefully and note on paper which symptoms are present in your child. Then see at last that if your set of combination exists below if it is present then it would tell you most probable cause for your child’s diarrhea and its effective homoeopathic treatment and if you are not able to find your symptom combination then tell this via comment section and know the possible diagnosis and homeopathic treatment.<br />
<br />
So start read carefully from here and made a list of your symptoms starting alphabetically.<br />
<br />
WHICH TIME OF DAY YOUR CHILD IS HAVING MORE STOOLS.<br />
<br />
A. Morning (Possible cause: Mainly indigestion).<br />
B. Night (Possible cause: Mainly Infection)<br />
<br />
OTHER ASSOCIATED PROBLEMS WITH DIARRHEA<br />
C. Outbreak of generalized rash (measles)<br />
D. Fever.<br />
E. Emaciation (lean and weak child).<br />
F. Many cases after a common meal (after a rancid food and septic condition).<br />
G. Many cases of severe diarrhea of severe watery diarrhea in area (cholera).<br />
H. Dentition (Possible cause: Mainly infection as at this time child puts many things in his mouth.<br />
I. Nausea and vomiting<br />
J. Abdominal pain cramping/tenesmus<br />
<br />
POSSIBLE CAUSE FOR YOUR CHILD’S DIARRHEA<br />
K. Alternating constipation and diarrhea (Possible cause: Mainly IBS).<br />

M. Rich foods (rice, poori, pastry, or cake)<br />
N. Fruits ( Possible cause: Mainly disturbed digestion of fructose of fruits and should be normal very soon, but if persists for long time and fruits were unhygienic then infection).<br />
O. Milk ((Possible cause: Mainly indigestion of lactulose found in milk and it may persist for long and should be treated for this soon. Homoeopathy has good results with this condition)<br />
P. Diarrhea acute disease after.<br />
Q. Exam/interview.<br />
<br />
COLOR AND CONSISTENCY OF STOOL<br />
<br />
R. Stool with mucus and blood (Possible cause: Mainly dysentery. This may be very troublesome seek medical attention as soon as possible. Homeopathy has good result with this condition).<br />

Y. Large stool (Possible cause: Mainly it occurs when there is trouble in upper part of intestine and lower part is working okay so large stool, but control is disturbed it should be fine soon).<br />
<br />
Z. Scanty, frequent stool in less quantity (Possible cause: Mainly it occurs when lower part of intestine is disturbed mainly by infection. It may take time to be normal).</div>

It is a sudden "fit or stroke" of unconsciousness usually caused by cereberal embolism, haemorrhage or thrombosis. (Embolism is the obstruction of a blood vessel by the impaction of a solid body e.g. , thrombi fat-globules or tumour cells, or by air bubble. Thrombosis - intravascular formation of a blood clot). <br />
In apoplexy, there is stertorous (loud, snoring, snorous) breathing, in continence of urine and faeces with varying degree of hemiplegia. It occurs mostly between 50-60 years of age. <br />
Causes <br />
(1) Arterio-sclerosi, (2) Gout (3) alcoholism (4) syphilis (5) emotional excitement - that increases blood pressure and later becomes the cause of rupture of blood vessel in the brain - then patient remains in coma for days together and ultimately death happens. But in some cases, the patient, with proper medical treatment, comes into consciousness. <br />
I have tackled a few cases of apoplexy during my 20 years practice. The patient, who went into semi state of unconsciousness due to raised blood pressure, were cured with indicated medicine like Bell, Arnica, Glon, Opium. <b> </b><br />
<b> Apoplectic fits of unconsciousness</b><br />
A patient,aged 43, had great rise in the blood pressure 190/130m m. of mercury at 7P.M. Fell into apoplectic fits of unconsciousness with trembling of body and tongue, stammering voice, snoring - or snorous breathing. She was heading towards coma with great dizziness, closing of eyes, Puffed red hot face, swollen eyes, bursting headache at the beginning fit of apoplexy, as she reported it later on. Patient was very irritable, nervous, with chronic tendency of H.B. P. <br />
Bell = 30, in cold water and FP6x, KM6x, CP6x, NP6x, NS6x - 2 grains dose in alternation after every 10-15-30 minutes, total 6 doses, reduced her H.B. P. to 170/108. She slept normally in the night. 30.10.84 - had emotional excitement with shooting up of B.P. = 190/130 with all above said symptoms. Glon -30, in alternation with combined dose of Ratiwolfia - Q + Crat. Q + Passiflora. Q (1:1:1) 10 drops dose, after every 15-30 minutes and B.P. was lowered to 160/118 with total 6 doses. Same treatment was continued after, Illry 4 hours - for about 2 weeks, and patient did not have such attacks, in future. Whenever she felt problem of H.B. P. she took Glon and Mother tinctures combination and remained normal in blood pressure of 140/90m m. Boil. of mercury. </div>

<br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Heel
pain is a very common problem in present era. A number of patients
knock at the door of Doctors daily for heel pain only. There are so many
drugs under Homoeopathy for the same and very frequent failures are
there in treating heel pain, and consequently the patient turn towards
another sort of treatments. This is our lack of knowledge, nothing else.
To over come these problems, we must first know the basic causes for
heel pain.</span>
<br />
<div class="style1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 150%;">First,
we must know the anatomy of heel. I am not going to take space here for
this point, as this is easily available in various textbooks on
anatomy. I am coming to causes of heel pain directly.<br />
<br />
<span class="style2">1-</span> Attenuation of Achilles tendon.<br />
<span class="style2">2-</span> Achilles tendon bursitis.<br />
<span class="style2">3-</span> Stress fractures of bones in heel. (Diffuse tenderness).<br />
<span class="style2">4-</span> Cyst formation.<br />
<span class="style2">5-</span> Plantar fasciitis.<br />
<span class="style2">6-</span> Haglund's disease (Prominent Posterio - superior calcaneal tubrosity.)<br />
<span class="style2">7-</span> Reactive osteosclerosis of the posterio - inferior tuberosity ( Due to abnormal Achilles tendon insertion)<br />
<span class="style2">8-</span> Calcaneal spur.<br />
<span class="style2">9-</span> Plantar fat pad atrophy.<br />
<span class="style2">10-</span> Traumatic disruption of plantar fat pad septa.<br />
<br />
Now, we must we aware of the symptoms of each disorder stated above
are different but all of them are localized to heel. Almost all the
patients feel unable to explain their sufferings so clearly as to make
distinction easy to the physician.<br />
Here radiological diagnosis is of great value. After a very careful
examination and investigation the doctor can reach to the cause of pain.<br />
I am giving here a work on short repertorizations based upon various
repertories. Only particular rubrics are used here to understand role of
various remedies related to pain in heels. However, during prescribing
Homoeopathically, all the rules must strictly be followed. <br />
<br />
Main rubrics pertaining to Heel-Pain:<br />

These are the rubrics available in various repertories, which are
related to heel- pain. However many among them can be related to
numerous other problems, the synthesis of a particular rubric for heel-
pain may need single or combination of one or many of these. A doctor
can now reach to the point of illness and may diagnose and ascertain the
real site or structures of involvement and use the given rubrics in
making the similimum. <br />
A Homoeopath, after very keen observation and very careful evaluation
of the signs and symptoms taken, can most precisely make the similimum
picture of the suffering and thenceforth can heal the ailments best.</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 150%;"></span><b style="color: black;">Plantar Fascitis</b><span style="color: black;"> is inflammation of the plantar fascia or arch tendon of the foot. It is an overuse injury causing </span><b style="color: black;">heel pain</b><span style="color: black;"> which may radiate forward into the foot. Plantar fasciitis can also be known as a </span><b style="color: black;">heel spur</b><span style="color: black;"> although
they are not strictly the same. A heel spur is a bony growth that
occurs at the attachment of the plantar fascia to the heel bone
(calcaneus). A heel spur can occur (with repetitive pulling of the
plantar fascia) on a foot with no symptoms at all and a painful heel can
have no heel spur present.</span><br />
<div style="color: black;">
The Plantar Fascia or arch tendon is a broad,
thick band of tissue that runs from under the heel to the front of the
foot. A rupture can sometimes occur at the origin of the arch ligament
and result in inflammation and pain.</div>
<div style="color: black;">
<b>Plantar Fasciitis</b> is an
inflammation (irritation and swelling with presence of extra immune
cells) of the thick tissue on the bottom of the foot that causes heel
pain and disability.</div>
<div style="float: left; margin: 10px 10px 10px 0;">
</div>
<h2 style="color: black; font-weight: bold;">
Cause of Plantar Fascitis</h2>
<div style="color: black;">
The cause of plantar fasciitis is unclear and
may be multifactorial. Because of the high incidence in runners, it is
best postulated to be caused by repetitive microtrauma. Possible risk
factors include obesity, occupations requiring prolonged standing, heel
spurs, pes planus (excessive pronation of the foot), and reduced
dorsiflexion of the ankle.</div>
<div style="color: black;">
Sex-The condition occurs equally in both sexes
in young people. Some studies show a peak incidence may occur in women
aged 40-60 years.</div>
<div style="color: black;">
Age-The condition can occur at any age. As mentioned, a peak incidence may occur in women aged 40-60 years.</div>
<h2 style="color: black; font-weight: bold;">
Clinical features of Plantar Fascitis</h2>
<div style="color: black;">
<b>Symptoms</b></div>
<blockquote style="color: black;">
• Pain beneath heel.<br />
• Pain extends medially into sole.<br />
• Pain worse on standing, walking.</blockquote>
<div style="color: black;">
<b>Signs</b></div>
<blockquote style="color: black;">
• Marked tenderness at site of attachment of planter fascia to calcaneum.<br />
• Tenderness at heel pad.</blockquote>
<h3 style="color: black; font-weight: bold;">
INVESTIGATION for Plantar Fascitis</h3>
<div style="color: black;">
X-Ray heel</div>
<blockquote style="color: black;">
• Usually no abnormality.<br />
• Occasionally calcaneal spur is evident but its significance in causing pain is doubtful.</blockquote>
<h2 style="color: black; font-weight: bold;">
GENERAL MANAGEMENT for Plantar Fascitis</h2>
<blockquote style="color: black;">
• Reassurance.<br />
• Exercise.<br />
• Avoid precipitating causes.<br />
• Correct maintaining causes.<br />
• Advise foot wears having soft rubber cushioned soles.<br />
• Short wave diathermy helpful in relieving pain.</blockquote>

Homeopathy Treatment & Homeopathic Remedies for Pain in Feet, Soles, Heel</h1>
<div style="color: black;">
Homeopathy treats the person as a whole. It
means that homeopathic treatment focuses on the patient as a person, as
well as his pathological condition. The homeopathic medicines are
selected after a full individualizing examination and case-analysis,
which includes the medical history of the patient, physical and mental
constitution etc. A miasmatic tendency (predisposition/susceptibility)
is also often taken into account for the treatment of chronic
conditions. The medicines given below indicate the therapeutic affinity
but this is not a complete and definite guide to the treatment of this
condition. The symptoms listed against each medicine may not be directly
related to this disease because in homeopathy general symptoms and
constitutional indications are also taken into account for selecting a
remedy. To study any of the following remedies in more detail, please
visit our Materia Medica section. None of these medicines should be taken without professional advice.</div>

<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgube2gcHOlaRhNjL30lXC-QW_N7PrTWbOGox7MRnWES46rN4oa0dAQVCc7JoaL2LKRLNNkM1bUE2467x_UIqSxMovMHJ-0leUXY8v9olHFAZprjELoxOIh115iUL2ocuXQvhpz5QiJ4MsK/s1600/necrosis+jaw.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgube2gcHOlaRhNjL30lXC-QW_N7PrTWbOGox7MRnWES46rN4oa0dAQVCc7JoaL2LKRLNNkM1bUE2467x_UIqSxMovMHJ-0leUXY8v9olHFAZprjELoxOIh115iUL2ocuXQvhpz5QiJ4MsK/s1600/necrosis+jaw.jpg" height="145" width="200" /></a></div>
Osteonecrosis of the jaw, commonly called ONJ, occurs when the jaw
bone is exposed and begins to starve from a lack of blood. As the name
indicates (<i>osteo</i> meaning bone and <i>necrosis</i> meaning
death), the bone begins to weaken and die, which usually, but not
always, causes pain. ONJ is associated with cancer treatments (including
radiation), infection, steroid use, or potent antiresorptive therapies
that help prevent the loss of bone mass. Examples of potent
antiresorptive therapies include bisphosphonates such as alendronate (<i>Fosamax</i>); risedronate (<i>Actonel</i> and <i>Atelvia</i>); ibandronate (<i>Boniva</i>); and denosumab (<i>Prolia</i>). While ONJ is associated with these conditions, it also can occur without any identifiable risk factors.<br />
<h3>
Fast facts</h3>
<ul>
<li>ONJ may occur in patients taking strong antiresorptive therapies
such as bisphosphonates or RANKL inhibitors. ONJ has not been reported
with other antiresorptive therapies such as SERMs or calcitonin. SERMs
include therapies like raloxifene (<i>Evista</i>).</li>
<li>The risk of ONJ in patients taking bisphosphonates may depend on the
dose of medication, the length of time it is taken and the medical
condition for which the bisphosphonate is prescribed. As a result,
cancer patients taking higher doses of bisphosphonates, particularly by
IV, are at higher risk.</li>
<li>The number of ONJ cases in patients taking bisphosphonates by mouth
is estimated to be between 1 in 1,000 and 1 in 100,000 for each year of
exposure to the medication.</li>
<li>Most patients with ONJ who are taking antiresorptive therapy for
osteoporosis can be healed with conservative treatment and often do not
require surgery.</li>
<li>Most cases of ONJ happen after a dental extraction.</li>
<li>Good oral hygiene and regular dental care is the best way to lower the risk of ONJ.</li>
</ul>
<h3>
What is ONJ?</h3>
ONJ is a condition in which an area of jawbone is not covered by the
gums. The condition must last for more than eight weeks to be called
ONJ. ONJ has occurred in patients with herpes zoster virus infections,
in those who are undergoing radiation therapy of the head and neck
(radiation osteonecrosis), osteomyelitis (bone infection) and in persons
taking steroid therapy chronically. Patients taking antiresorptive
therapy to reduce fracture risk also may experience ONJ. In this latter
case, ONJ most often develops after an invasive (surgical) dental
procedure such as dental extraction. ONJ also may occur spontaneously
over boney growths in the roof or inner parts of the mouth.<br />
<h3>
What causes ONJ?</h3>
Why some patients taking antiresorptive therapy get ONJ is unknown.
It may be due to: 1) a decrease the bone’s ability to repair itself; 2)
a decrease in blood vessel formation; or 3) possible effects of
infection.<br />

Who gets ONJ?</h3>
ONJ associated with bisphosphonate use, also referred to as BON, may
develop in patients after taking the medication for as little as 12
months. The risk increases the longer bisphosphonates are taken. Most
cases occur after prolonged therapy (more than five years).<br />
For osteoporosis patients who do not have cancer and who are treated
with osteoporosis medications, the risk of ONJ is low. Study results
vary from less than 1 in 100,000 getting ONJ from bisphosphonate
therapy to 1 patient in 263,158. One recent study suggested no
increased incidence of ONJ with osteoporosis medication. However, the
risk of ONJ in patients on bisphosphonates who have invasive dental
work such as dental extraction may be higher. The risk of ONJ in
patients taking denosumab (<i>Prolia</i>) is less well studied.<br />
Cancer patients are at particular risk for ONJ. The doses of IV
bisphosphonates used to treat cancer can be 10 times higher or more
than the doses used for osteoporosis.
Furthermore, cancer patients receive IV bisphosphonates as often as
every 3-4 weeks, while osteoporosis patients receive only a single IV
dose yearly. As a result, the risk of ONJ in cancer patients varies,
but it is higher. Even with many risk factors, the incidence of ONJ in
some European countries for cancer patients receiving IV
bisphosphonates and other cancer treatments may be as high as 1 in 10
patients. ONJ has been most commonly observed in cancer patients with
multiple myeloma and breast cancer.<br />
Besides cancer, other risk factors include advanced age, steroid use, diabetes, gum disease and smoking.<br />
<h3>
How is ONJ diagnosed?</h3>
There is no diagnostic test to determine if an individual patient is
at increased risk for ONJ. The condition itself is diagnosed only by
the presence of exposed bone, lasting more than 8 weeks. Patients
typically complain of pain, which is often related to infection, soft
tissue swelling, drainage and exposed bone.<br />
<h3>
How is ONJ treated?</h3>
Most patients with osteoporosis who develop ONJ are treated
conservatively with rinses, antibiotics and oral analgesics. In the IV
trial in osteoporosis mentioned above, both cases resolved within months
on such conservative treatment. There are case reports of the use of
teriparatide in management of ONJ.<br />
<h3>
Prevention</h3>
A health program of oral hygiene and regular dental care is the
optimal approach for lowering ONJ risk. Patients should inform their
dentists that they are taking potent antiresorptive therapy. Dentists
should consider conservative invasive dental care in patients taking
potent antiresorptive therapies.<br />
For instance, endodontic (root canal) treatment is preferred to
dental extraction if the tooth can be saved. If dental extraction is
needed, full mouth dental extractions or periodontal surgery should be
avoided. (It may be better to assess healing by doing individual
extractions.)<br />
Patients with periodontal disease should consider non-surgical
therapy before agreeing to surgical treatment. Many patients taking
bisphosphonates may undergo dental implants without problems. Although
some dentists recommend the use of blood tests to decide who is at
risk, this practice is controversial due to a very limited evidence
base and should not be used at this time.<br />
Those on oral bisphosphonates are at low risk for BON. However, they
are not without risk. Any problems developing in the mouth should
signal the need for dental review. There is no data to suggest that
bisphosphonates should be stopped prior to a dental procedure. However,
patients about to start bisphosphonate therapy should consider waiting
until any immediate invasive dental surgery is completed.<br />

<h3>
Points to remember </h3>
<ul>
<li>Up to 1 out of every 2 women over 50 will break a bone (such as
wrist, spine or hip) due to osteoporosis in their lifetime. Each year,
about 250,000 will break a hip due to osteoporosis. Of these, up to 24%
will die, and less than 25% regain full function. Vertebral (spine)
fractures, which occur twice as often as hip fractures, also cause back
pain and increased mortality.</li>
<li>Up to 1 out of 4 men over 50 will break a bone due to osteoporosis
in their lifetime. Each year, about 80,000 men will break a hip.</li>
<li>Oral or IV bisphosphonates have been shown to prevent 50-70% of
vertebral fractures in postmenopausal women and 40-50% of hip fractures
in clinical trials. Denosumab (<i>Prolia</i>) has been shown to reduce vertebral fractures in 70% of postmenopausal women and 40% of hip fractures.</li>
<li>Given the risk of osteoporotic fracture, and the low risk of ONJ
associated with potent antiresorptive therapy use, the benefit of
preventing osteoporotic fracture clearly far exceeds the risk of ONJ.</li>
</ul>

<span id="advenueINTEXT" name="advenueINTEXT" style="float: left;">INDORE:
With more number of people seeking out natural healing for ailments,
once criticised homeopathic medicines are getting tremendously popular
even as practitioners too claim to treat most of the difficult diseases
from root. <br /><br /> While people are accepting homeopathy as an
effective science, still many aren't clear when to consult a homeopath.
Indore-based homeopathy practitioner Dr AK Dwivedi says there are times
when allopathic treatment is required and times when homeopathy is
needed. ''In situations of surgery or emergency, there's no alternative
to allopathy. After surgery, you can go to a homeopath. Medicines like
Annica Montana speed up the healing process," he said. He further added
that there are medicines if taken religiously can even save people from
undergoing scalpel. <br /><br /> As the world observed World Heart Day on
September 29, Dr Dwivedi said that maintaining healthy heart is
important to lead a healthy life. Cardiovascular disease generally
refers to conditions that involve narrowed or blocked blood vessels that
can lead to a heart attack, chest pain (angina) or stroke. <br /><br />
"Homeopathic remedies (Aconite, Cactus, Cratagus, Naja, Digitalis, Carbo
Veg, Gelsesmium, Lachesis) are prescribed by symptoms rather than
conditions to treat heart disease, on case to case basis as particular
illness can manifest differently in different people. In my daily
practice patients come before and after angioplasty and open heart
surgery and homeopathic medicines give best result in either condition,"
he said. <br /><br /> Another homeopathic medicine practitioner, Dr Chetna
Shah says, "Despite the carping critics, homoeopathy, which is around
250 years old, continues to be tremendously popular. People including
allopathic doctors are accepting the homeopathy as it can deliver good
results alongside. Growing popularity can be gauged from the fact that
World Health Organiation has recognised it as the second largest system
of medicine in the world. By 2017, the homeopathy market is estimated at
Rs 52,000 crore." </span><span id="advenueINTEXT" name="advenueINTEXT" style="float: left;"> Times of India </span><span id="advenueINTEXT" name="advenueINTEXT" style="float: left;"><br /></span></div>

The life-work of the student of the homoeopathic Materia Medica is one of constant comparison and differentiation. He must compare the pathogenesis of a remedy with the recorded anamnesis of the patient; he must differentiate the apparently similar symptoms of two or more medicinal agents in order to select the similimum. To enable the student or practitioner to do this correctly and rapidly he must have as a basis for comparision some knowledge of the individuality of the remdy; something that is peculiar, uncommon, or sufficiently characteristic in the confirmed pathogenesis of a polychrest remedy that may be used as a pivotal point of comparison. It may be a so-called "keynote", a "characteristic, " the "red strand of the rope, " and central modality or principle - as the aggravation from motion of Bryonia, the amelioration from motion of Rhus, the furious, vicious delirium of Belladonna or the apathetic indifference of Phosphoric acid - some familiar landmark around which the symptoms may be arranged in the mind for comparison.</div>
