Health and Wellness Tips for Everyone

Why People are Hesitant of acknowledging Homoeopathy On 28th of May, 2009, the proprietor of a Travel Agency who is well known to me visited my clinic with a complaint of bruised pains all over his body for the last one week. As he is diabetic, I enquired him about the last sugar test he carried out from the laboratory. He told that the sugar level of both Fasting and Random was within the range. He further informed in a defiant way that he never used homeopathic medicines throughout his life. I therefore advised him to go to his family allopath physician for his treatment. “I did so but no relief” was his answer. Now what do you want from me, I asked? “Certainly the homeopathic treatment”, he replied hesitatingly. I just smiled and dispensed the combination of Arnica-200 + Rhus tox-200 to take it twice a day. The next day on 29-05-2009, he told that there was absolutely no relief. I was a little bit surprised but still gave 3 drops each of Arnica-1M and Rhus tox-1M in some water and a...

Homeopathic Medicines for All Practitioners/Psychiatrists Regrettably, formal medical systems especially Allopathy have never acknowledged the wonders of homeopathy despite the fact that it is purely based on scientific principles, works gently and secretly to restore complete health without leaving any side effect. Homeopathy is not to be condemned if a patient does not find relief with the homeopathic treatment. It is in fact the mishandling of the case according to the symptoms of the patient. Dr. E. B. Nash from USA has rightly said “Homeopathy is too often blamed when the blame lies in the stupidity of the prescriber”. So a Homeopathic doctor may fail but homeopathy never fails. Regardless of criticism and sarcastic attitude against homeopathy, the doctors from other medical systems at times do approach the homeopaths for treatment but ‘behind closed doors’ as they are well aware of the side effects of medicines. It would be surprising for the allopaths that all the Gurus/Masters ...

Miraculous efficacy of Homeopathic Medicines He was depressed and pessimistic about the recovery of his 14 years old son who was suffering from epileptic convulsions for the last 10 years. During this long period many laboratory tests were carried out on the instructions of the reputed allopath physicians of Rawalpindi/Islamabad followed by different heavy courses of medicines like Epival, Phenobarbiton, Lerace, Trioptal, Citolin, and Lomogin etc. but all proved fruitless. Even a homeopath of Rawalpindi having a good practice was also contacted from whom this innocent beautiful chap receive the treatment for about 2 years but again the father was utterly frustrated. Surprisingly, the father being a good friend of mine never asked me to examine the case of his beloved son. Last month, we were having a chat over a cup of tea when I asked him in a casual way about the health progress of his son. He told in a disappointed tone that despite taking the above medicines on regular basis, fits ...

Cardiomyopathy and Homoeopathy Mr. Atiq-ur-Rahman Qureshi, a mechanical engineer by profession visited me with severe Chest pain, palpitation and Dyspnea (Shortness of breath) in July, 2009. On enquiring, he told that the pain did not travel to the left arm and also there was no sweating. The pain was intensified especially after taking meals and on movement. I administered Bryonia-200 and Arsenicum alb. -30 to be taken alternately 4 times a day. After 3-4 days, he reported a little bit relief but was not satisfied at all. Resultantly, he moved to some allopath physician who asked him to go for ultrasound and ETT. The ultrasound report from AFIC, Rawalpindi diagnosed Cardiomyopathy (Heart muscle disease) whereas during ETT, the total recorded exercise time was 05:35 minutes. On the abovesaid findings, Mr. Atiq was advised by the Allopath physician to take one tablet each of Loprin and Tenormin daily. Unfortunately, these medicines could not bring relief to the ailing engineer...

Three cases by Dr. Sultan Mahmood • The wife of my nephew having 3 months pregnancy reported about uterine cramps and hemorrhage (spotting).

El Serum is very sympathetic to Kidneys Mr. Muhammad Hanif, 36 years of age came to my clinic from Kahuta in April, 2009 with Abdominal Ultrasound report. According to the report, the patient was suffering from “Bilateral chronic (Grade I) renal parenchymal disease (CRF). – Medullary nephrocalcinosis – Lt. renal cyst of 18mm”. The Ceatinine was 4.6 mg/dL whereas the normal reference value in adult male is upto 1.3 mg/dL. His elder brother Muhammad Saeed who was accompanying him was very pessimistic, downhearted and hopeless about the recovery as the Allopath doctors have asked for the arrangement of a kidney from a donor for transplantation or prepare for the dialysis treatment. Both options were too risky and expensive to afford for the poor family. After taking the symptoms, I prescribed Eel Serum-30 with Apocynum-Q and Solidago-3X. The swelling on both the ankles started reducing and the burning in urine also improved after 10 days. In May, 2009, I asked the patient to have ...

Painful cracked bleeding tongue • A patient visited me in the last week of December, 2009 with a painful cracked bleeding tongue. It was very difficult for him to eat and speak. Surprisingly, only two doses of Arum Triphyllum-30 alternated by Acid Nitricum-30 cured him completely. • Patients suffering from Spermatorrhoea (Involuntary seminal emission) can rely on Selenium-200 and Staphysagria-200. • Snoring being a common problem has led to strained relationships between the sleep partners. Therefore this problem is required to be addressed and cured seriously. Homeopathy offers a good treatment for stertorous breathing. Lemna Minor-30 alternated by Opium-30 has given me good results to overcome this problem.

A case of Phosphorus It was an icy cold night in December when I closed my clinic an hour before the scheduled timings. I was relaxing in the TV lounge with my wife and children when the bell rang, at about 2300 hrs. As I opened the door, two men wrapped up with heavy shawls requested medical help. The ailing man started narrating his illness in a very feeble and agonizing tone. After attending a marriage feast, he had developed some problem in his throat. He further explained with the help of his visiting brother that swallowing of even liquids has become very difficult and that there was burning and severe pain in the esophagus. Belladonna and Gelsemium sparked into my mind, which I dispensed for the patient and advised him to report to clinic next day. Next morning, I made exhaustive consultations of the homeopathic literature for the right remedy and finally I was able to find Phosphorus which had been recommended by Dr. Clarke in his famous book “A Clinical Repertory to the Dicti...

Phytolacca Joins Hands with other Remedies to Combat Breast Cancer The allopath doctors had refused to go for surgery of the sister-in-law of my eldest sister on account of her advanced age and frail physique.

The eldest son accompanied her from G-9/1, Islamabad to my residence. As told by the cancer stricken lady, there was continuous painful oozing of blood mixed with pus from her left breast with intense itching all over her body.

I dispensed 2 doses of Phytolacca Dec.-CM to be taken on 15th and 29th of the lunar month when the moon is waning. Besides this, Silicia-200+Hepar Sulph.-200 and Arsenicum Alb.-200 with a separate combination of biochemic salts (CF-3X+CP-12X+CS-6X+MP-12X...

Three Cheers for Crataegus and Arjuna Mr. Muhammad Aslam, 58 years of age had undergone bypass surgery from AFIC, Rawalpindi in 2001. However, in early 2009, he started suffering recurrent attacks of angina pectoris and the allopath doctors prescribed him “Disprin CV”, “Carsel”, “Save” and “Egis Nitromint” to be taken on regular basis. He was further told that in case of persistent pain in chest, the possibility of another surgery cannot be ruled out. The patient even after the bypass surgery did not quit smoking, beef, milk cream and vegetable ghee, etc. After having taken the allopath medicines for about 10 months, he did not feel any relief. Desperately, he contacted me in December, 2009. After listening to him in detail, I prescribed Crataegus-Q + Arjuna-Q on the basis of an inspiring tip appeared in “Homeopathy 4 Everyone” under the heading Bypass the Bypass. The combination was recommended to be taken 10 drops in some water twice a day. The patient reported after abou...

Evil Spirits were knocked out by Belladona During early days of my practice, I was once invited alongwith my family members by one of my friends on Eid holidays. As we entered their home, the father and mother of my friend were sitting on a bed encircling their daughter-in-law and murmuring some verses from the Holy Qur’an. As my friend was not at home, therefore, his wife escorted us to the Drawing room and asked to wait for her husband. The atmosphere of the home was not lively but scary as if something unpleasant would happen. In the meantime, the father of my friend entered and informed that my friend was just coming. He sat on the chair and narrated in a hesitating tone that his daughter-in-law who was married three months ago had been overwhelmed by some evil spirits (demoniac) as diagnosed by a spiritual leader. However, another religious scholar opined that the girl was hysteric and needs medical help. The father disclosed by giving further details that during such attacks, sh...

 At last Senega came to Rescue the Old Lady An old lady of about 70 years old had frequent attacks of spasmodic fatiguing cough for the last 6 months. As usual, she remained under the treatment of more than three different allopath doctors for about six months who recommended a series of medicines like “Klaricid”, “Hydrallin”, “Danzen”, “Maxair”, and many others which were not legible for me on the prescription slip. But regrettably these medicines did not prove fruitful for the coughing lady. Finally, in utter frustration the patient was escorted to my clinic with a reference to one of my old patients. It was very troublesome for the old woman to explain the nature of her illness as the terrible paroxysms of cough were hindering her to talk comfortably. The colour of the mucus she could expectorate at times was yellowish green. As I understood and felt, there was much accumulation of mucus in her chest and very difficult to cough up. The medicines which came to my mind instantly w...

Bothrops can make you speak During the 2nd week of February, 2009, I was examining the patients at my clinic when my daughter informed on phone in a shrieking tone that Mama had suffered a sudden stroke and lost her voice. I excused with the visiting patients and rushed to my home. On my way to home, I was so perplexed that despite my best efforts, I could not recall a single remedy to my mind for this ailment. In fact, I was in a shocking condition and feared as if I was losing something very precious. As I entered the home, my wife was continuously rubbing the left side of her neck with her hand and trying to speak out her ailment with a rolling tongue in her mouth. Doubting of a facial paralysis, I gave 2 drops of Causticum-1M in some water which she swallowed without pouring it out of her mouth. After an hour, I administered Lachesis-200. As I observed, there was no distortion of face which invalidated the chances of paralysis. Blood Pressure and pulse were quite normal, grip of ha...

Adrenalin+Arjuna+Rauwolfia = Normal Blood Pressure In the 1st week of January, 2010, my wife asked the milkman of our area about his absence for the last three days. He told that his blood pressure was suddenly raised to 190/100 with severe headache and palpitation. He continued to state that during his absence, he consulted a homoeopath physician for his treatment who perturbed him by saying that his blood had become thick and at least 6 months treatment was to be required for complete recovery. The 32 years old milkman was still in the grip of high blood pressure despite taking medicines for the last three days and impatiently looking for a physician who could prescribe some effective medicines to relieve him from this complaint. The milkman finally stepped into my clinic and after taking the case carefully, he was given the combination of Adrenalin-6 + Arjuna-2X + Rauwolfia-2X to be taken 5 drops in some water twice a day. Next morning, the BP of the patient unexpectedly...

Matter of Concern: Homeopathy is still waiting for due appreciation No doubt homeopathy is becoming increasingly popular with the passage of time, but normally the patients are not generous enough to acknowledge the effectiveness of homeopathic medicines. Sometimes the approach of the homeopathic patients is annoying and infuriating when they do not give an openhearted credit to the magnificence of homeopathy despite cured by its medicines. The patients do accept the recovery progress but regrettably not alone by the homeopathic medicines. They also relate some other factors responsible for their health improvement which are very irritating for a homeopath. Some of such cases are as under:- • A man of about 65 years old settled in UK since 1975 came to see his relatives in Rawalpindi. He came to consult me in 2009 for the treatment of Mucus Colitis. He reported that he had been on Steroids for the last 5-6 years on the advice of his physicians after his stomach surg...
