Various types of Cases of Tub:
1. Relapsing Fevers
Ma SJM, 11yr, came to Dr Rams’ Mulund ICR Hospital on 20-8-99 for fever 7 days. High spikes 1-2/d.
Story: FTND. Dentition 1yr, Walking 9m, Talking 1y. Septicaemia at 2m, Pneumonia with primary complex at 5m.
19/7/99 T=103-4 <1-1.30am >Day >Allopathy for 10d. Recurred 1/8/99. Admitted till 6/8 Diagnosis: Enteric with Jaundice. Rx Ciflox. Which caused Diarrhoea with poor app and stomachache.
20-8-99 Fever 103-4 same time with nausea and vomiting- sight and smell of food.
19/7/99 T=103-4<1-1.30am >Day >Allopathy for 10d. Recurred 1/8/99. Admitted till6/8 Diag: Enteric with Jaundice. Rx Ciflox. Which caused Diarrhoea with poor app and stomachache
20-8-99 Fever 103-4 same time with nausea and vomiting- sight and smell of food.
Investigations:

Follow Up

Analysis:
Fundamental miasm: Syc +Tub (Mo GB stones. Fa-Tend to colds)
Dominant Miasm: Strong Tub³ Relapsing fevers, not responding to any medicine. Therefore requires a strong force like the AK 47 type with help of patton tank too. Guns are not going to suffice.
The whole system was failing- general symptoms had come up- weakness, leg pain, nausea even after discontinuing allop, which meant the system was too weakened to recover. Pt turned from Chilly to Hot. The whole system- immune force + RES was in combat, without keeping reserves.
This defintely was a cry for major help. Given Tub 1M first day- 27/8 in non-febrile stage. Followed by Constitutional on 2nd day.
System reassessed on 2/9, on day 6 before 1 week was up. O titre which reveals the acute infection (H is indicator of past infection or sub-clinical) shows a drop. But SGPT shows rise 144 to 199. This shows that the virus is still active, damaging liver cells. Even now a strong force is required. Tub 1M repeated on 6th day followed by Calc-iod 200 on3/9. Repeat Blood test showed H down to 160 and SGPT coming down. This is a rapid response - both on S+S and pathology-wise which is not seen with acute forces.
Such a result cannot be seen with an acute Rx. Prescription based on severity of disease and the judgment of susceptibility. Plus no acute form was seen ie no acute totality pointing to an acute Rx like Chel etc. The tests also prove conclusively that Homeo drugs are immune modulators.

A Dramatic case:
A demonstration of dramatic action of Tub. Pt, 43, a doctor’s wife, on 20/3/99 for the first time complained of bleeding gums for 2d. Taken to the dentist -NAD. Husband, being a doctor, did a CBC,which showed a severe problem. Rushed to a hematologist.
Diagnosis?
Galloping Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia of rapid onset with extremely poor prognosis: 20% in adults & 80% in children. 80% adults succumb within days of onset.

I have never come so close to this disease- a friend’s wife with three young daughters!
At the rate it was going . . . . . . .it spelled disaster !!

A Promise!
I promised myself that I will use all the resources of our science to save her.
She was immediately started Phos 200 4 hrly for the bleeding gums.
Then I took the case and consulted my ICR colleagues.

Analysis:
This rapid onset and progression of a blood disorder presenting as bleeding gums, spelt the Tub miasm with a capital T.
Tub-b was used in the most dramatic way to resolve the case.

Her	Blood		Count?
23.3	Pl-19000	WBC-	27000
24.3	Pl-10,000	WBC-	45000
25.3	Pl-10,000	WBC-	30000
26.3
I consulted Dr. Dixit

She was put on Tub 1M -3HS.
27.3 P-18000 WBC-11000.
30.3 P-90,000
1.4 Constitutional remedy was thought as Nat-ph 30- 1dose given. No effect.
2.4 Pl - 31000 WBC-800.
This was the combined effect of chemotherapy, of stopping Tub and wrong perceiving of Nat-p. Case was reviewed Mag ph was decided on
7.4 Tub IM OD + Mag-phos 200 4hrly.
9.4 Pl-1,31,000 WBC-1100 . Bleeding gums stopped for the first time since it started 20 d ago.
13.4 Pl-3,00,000. WBC 8000.
She was put on a schedule of Tub 1M 3/wk + Mag-phos 200 4hrly. This was continued for 2mths
27.4.99 she developed a venous infarct in the brain leading to Lt arm paralysis.
Medicine like Arn 200 4hrly, Calc-phos, Lach gave no relief.
On 31.5 she was helped after we put her on Arnica 1M 2hrly. By 11.6 paralysis was 90 %, better with free movement of arm, except for fine movements.

The Aggravation Point:
Again Tub-b and Mag-ph schedule instituted & continued till the point of aggravation-her appetite went absolutely zero.
We stopped Mag-phos on 16.8 after 2 mths. This withdrawing of the forces for 3 wks brought up the appetite.
After that the schedule was re-instituted on 9.9 because the platelet and WBC counts showed a drop. This immediately picked up after administering the medicines!
In this case we could actually prove the effect of Tub instantaneously- blood tests showed changes within 24hrs! We were able to maintain blood count levels in spite of chemotherapy, which is known to cause a serious drop in WBC.
The patient’s marrow went into remission.
Two Bone marrow studies proved this point.
Tuberculinum kept the disease process under control for a period of 10 mths.
Statistics show 80% of those who survive initially, get a relapse at 8 months. She proved the stats right!
They even tried 10 times the normal dose of Chemo, but all in vain!
Even in this defeat H won a battle of sorts.
The family was cautioned that death in such situations is horrifying and were told by the cancer specialists that if it is too much for the family to bear, get her indoors and we shall make the end peaceful.

But she passed away peacefully at home with NO painkillers or sedatives for last 20 days of her life. Only Homoeopathic cover! Even at the last moment she looked very peaceful, as if she was in deep sleep. All the kriyas and Vedhis (ceremories) could be carried out with precision and planning.
