Abstract : In this paper we will demonstrate how diagnostic methods are useful as pointers to the process of understanding the pathways of natural cure.

Introduction: Normally, diagnostic methods are used to diagnose the location, type and extent of problem and after medication, to check whether the cure aimed at, is achieved. If we aim at radical cure, following logical steps can be expected:
1) Removing the disease products from the location of their deposit. The disease products will then be reabsorbed in the blood. If this is true, toxins should be seen in the blood chemistry.
2) Removing the toxins from the blood stream (flushing).
3) Treating the vital organs such as liver, kidneys etc. which will get affected due to increased load of disease products in the blood.
4) Curing the disease so that disease products are not deposited at the location of the problem again and disease does not recur.
In this paper, we will demonstrate how the diagnostic methods are useful in understanding the pathways of natural cure. Although the patients reported here have been treated using homoeopathic and traditional herbal medicines, the results are equally applicable to any natural curing process.

Examples of cure that will be considered are:
1) Cure of uterine tumor and ovarian cyst
2) Cure of eczema
3) Treatment of jaundice

Definition of radical cure
A person can be said to be cured of particular disease if, after the cure is achieved, he/she can lead a comfortable life without the aid of any regular medication.

Treatment
A) Uterine tumor and ovarian cyst: Indicated medicines were given.
B) Eczema: Lycopodium 200 once a week for four weeks. No other medicine was given.
C) Jaundice: Patients indicating symptomatic jaundice such as nausea, vomiting, lack of appetite and fever were given indicated homoeopathic medicines such as Chelidonium-majus Q, Castor Q etc. Early morning, 1/day on empty stomach x 3-7 days. Other indicated medicines were also given intercurrently. Pathological test for parameters such as S Bilirubin, SGPT, SGOT etc. conducted 1) pretreatment, 2) 3-7 days after starting treatment and 3) 1-3 weeks later.
D) Skin Allergies: Patient having skin allergy was treated with Urtica-urens Q, four drops four times a day and other intercurrents as may be indicated. Patient’s pathology was recorded when symptoms demanded it.

Results and Discussions
Uterine tumor and ovarian cyst: Let us consider an illustrative case. A patient had uterine tumor and ovarian cyst (Table I). The tumor and cyst disappeared under Homoeo treatment as shown by ultrasonography report a year latter (Table II). During the course of treatment, urine report consistently showed presence of albumin and pus cells (Table VI). Albumin disappeared from the urine after treatment, though the pus cells persisted for a while (Table V). Cure stands till date (Table III, two years after cure.)
