Case 1: "Ehlers Danlos Syndrome"
Master SS, 19 years old, was brought to Mafkhar Clinic on 14.9.01, for the
treatment of pain and green spots on the legs. He was weak and restless because
of pain. His Rt upper limb was paralyzed and dried like a stick and the claw had
a subcutaneous swelling with purpuric patches. His father revealed he had a
heart problem in infancy with the same kind of patches and had got cured, at the
same clinic. Earlier he had also undergone vascular surgery following some
trauma. Since then he developed heart pain along with the patches.
The case was taken by Dr Shahida, my wife,whose notes read: "was under
treatment here as a heart patient during early childhood. Six months back he was
operated for Axilary artery, was given blood transfusion. Very weak, BP low,
artery had ruptured suddenly.
Right hand totally paralyzed, claw like. Goes for physiotherapy. Feels pain all
over nerves. Lt Hand also neuralgic as if pain comes from heart. Since he was
treated for the heart here and was better, so has come again. Pains are crushing
and crawling type. Swelling on hands comes after exertion. Heart pains extending
to Lt Hand: his own words. Every trauma becomes blue or green. Pain comes with
green patches on hands.
Ailments started when he was traveling in an over-crowded train. The hand
holding the railing tightly, got jerked and started paining. He had to bear pain
silently. On reaching home, he was taken to the nearby hospital where he was
operated and then immediately sent to a teaching institution, where a major
surgery was performed. They diagnosed spontaneous rupture of the artery with
ecchymotic tissue, Type IV. Histopathologically diagnosed "Ehlers Danlos
Syndrome".
Dr Shahida’s prescription was Arnica 30, 4 doses followed by a dose of Ignatia
200, then supplemented with Nosode I (Carcinosin in molecular dilutions).
The criteria for prescription was, broods in silence, does not complain and
grief of his wounded limb. Sadness and despair of recovery. Carcinosin
added to antidote that possibility of getting carcinogenic affect following such
type of high-grade trauma. This gave him relief. When he reported on 20.9.01, I
also saw him. I added Acid-Phos 30, two doses, based on the follow-up;
tendency to green spots with purpura haemorrhagica, and crushed wound.
He came on 25.9.01: Better. Placebo. Reported on 11.10.01: again clots, Rt side
pain and also occipital headache. Seen by Dr Shahida, prescription Carbon-animalis
30/2 doses. Later Arnica repeated. Condition stabilized, no pain, no
patches, mental condition also improved. Further follow-up with Arnica
& Nosode 1, then some clinical remedies, for constitutional ups and down,
until 22.2.02. Now Natrum-mur 200, single dose as the deep acting remedy
given. He wanted tonic to improve his strength. He also developed hopes that
with Homoeopathy his hand would improve. Although his heart pains, head pains
and hands also, patches were gone but he kept on coming with a hope may his hand
would also started functioning!
I saw him again on 23.2.02, he was anxious and restless with depression and
fright, that his hand would not be OK and his pains may come and has. This time
I examined him thoroughly, the grade of emaciation: Deltoid ++, Triceps +++,
Biceps ++++. Brachioradialis ++++, Carpiulnaris +++, Flexor digitorum +++,
Thenar and hypothenar muscles ++++.
Analayze: wasting is not uniformly which means total nerve is not dead? I also
gave a thought to his pathological condition. Was his present problem connected
to trauma! Whether by traveling or while operating! I questioned myself? Boy
seems to be a careful type, niether did he receive any trauma inside the train.
What he said he was holding the rod tightly to get support which means suddenly
he started getting pain, certainly not because of the trauma, may be because of
excitement or exertion, possibly his veins got rupture due to this and possibly
he showed courage to hear the pain silently otherwise and may fall! I also gave
a thought to the nature of his disease.
Ehlers Danlos Syndrome is a mysterious disease, in which although the veins are
fragile they also have much elasticity, even in finer venules, and which may
give rise to a psuedo-purpura or green spots. This is a very mysterious
condition, and is related to some genetic influence. Skin tissues also show this
unusual kind of elasticity, so too the walls of the arteries. Suddenly I got the
clue. Was the artery ruptured spontaneously or was that due to surgeon’s
knife? That means his disease was genetically related, and not because of the
trauma. I questioned to myself again, to treat him means to clean genetically!
Is he a case of Virionum? Virionum also can act on genes. Virionum
is a nosode, from HIV-I, which has been proved by me, I find this remedy very
effective in mysterious conditions.
23.3.02, I gave him Virionum 30/1 dose 
Better.
Virionum 30/one dose was repeated on 17.5.02. There after he developed
swelling on his Rt. knee.
Virionums are also mysterious people. You cannot expect any steady
behaviour. Committed but cunning , they never have full faith in anyone.
My criteria for prescribing him Virionum was: Anxiety marked and
anticipated relapse with fear very marked. Timidness, with changeable moods (Puls).
Broods in silence (Ignatia). Becomes irritable immediately (Natrum-mur)
weary of life and depression (Aur). But cunning like Sepia. Dwells
on unpleasant events, does not go out. Worried with trembling with fear, as if
would die in the crowd. Mania for investigating and consulting other deaths.
23.3.02: Virionum 30/one dose. Reported next month 1.4.02: Better:
placebo. Virionum 30/one dose repeated again, (relapse of some old
symptoms), on 17.5.02. He reported on 7.6.02, with a swelling right knee, but
his Rt limb started sensation of life. Placebo again. Rt knee persists, placebo
again. More swelling but more relief on hand. He started moving them. Also
applied iodex on his knee. He said he cannot tolerate knee pain. Signs of
anxiety and relapsed again. Virionum 200/single dose, no relief. Medorrhinum
200/one dose as intercurrent.
Case 2:
The second case was of 8-year old boy who came with a mysterious cavernous
hemangioma of Rt. lower limb. The veins were very anguished at the gluteal
region, also on thigh. His penis was hyperdropic & in state of
semi-erection. On its glands some Kaposi’s Sarcoma like soft tissue growth was
visible. The boy was seen by the surgical unit of a teaching hospital, which
diagnosed enhancing venous cavernous inside the gluteal & cavernous region.
They found the child inoperable -said nothing can be done. Ironically the
patient was told (since his penis was eructed) that there is no such disease
ever recorded in the medical books. The day they will come to know, they will
call him for the treatment.
This case was also first seen by my daughter, Dr Rozina Zaheer, who noted the
child lost his father in a truck accident while he was inside the womb. His
father was a truck driver. This young doctor found grief as the sole cause for
the genetically mysterious disease. Prescribed Ignatia 200, followed by 1Nosode
I.
The case responded well. The intercurrent was Thuja and constitutionally Silicea
was the later prescription. The case kept on improving. His anguished veins
& cavernous hemangioma started showing remarkable regression. After 4 or 5
years, when he was 12-13 years, I found the child to have a recessive attitude.
He did not want to study further, did not want to work because of lack in
confidence. During 2,3 counseling, we found this grown up boy, was of negative
attitude with marked anxiety towards his problems & anticipating phobia.
Finally Virionum in 30 dilution brought this boy out from pessimism. Now
the boy is showing all kinds of activities in every respect and also in
pathological conditions. Although veins are still nguished but they are not
troubling him. The growing Kaposi’s Sarcoma lesion disappeared.
