MEDICINA FUTURA HOMOEOPATHY.
Vol 9 No 1, July 98 and No 2 October 98
This NJH abstract covers two issues of Medicina Futura. Homoeopathy In the first issue of the year, Dr Lakshminarayanan castigates allopaths for treating AIDS patients like lepers As usual his editorial is hard hitting... He lauded the efforts of prominent film personalities who have taken the lead in helping AIDs patients. The second editorial laments the sad state of Homoeopathy in India. We are not improving our therapeutic skills in some dark areas like gynecological, post-natal conditions, gastric problems, tumours, cardiac and pulmonary diseases. He deprecates those Homoeopaths who resort to compound remedies & allopathic drugs and argue that Organon is obsolete.
Dr Mirza Anwar Baig establishes a link between Syphilis and HIV. Other points:
- HIV antibodies not found in every case.
- Even ones positive with A-bodies, all did not die due to the disease but due to shock.
- AIDS is not a viral disease but iatrogenic- caused by drugs.
- He asks "How can one explain HIV positive in an ordinary man- non-homosexual, non-drug addict, non-tubercular or syphilitic and also well nourished religious Indian?"
- Finally he narrates a case of AIDS cured with Homoeopathy. He was initially given Arnica based on the presenting symptoms and later the constitutional remedy, Carcinosin. Till 18-8-97 -ELISA positive he became negative on 30-8-97. [Editor NJH: We wish all Homoeopaths will pool in their cases with documentation. It is a big need of the hour; and if we have any properly documented cases we need to give it to the authorities in a combined effort]
Drs Kothari and Lopa Mehta, for once, laud modern medicine. They list the major advances- relief in acute diseases, replacement of deficiencies, diagnostic and surgical advances, cardio-vascular drugs employed to reduce hypertension, regulate the heart beat etc. In the second issue titled "Hysterectomy: Uterus-The better in Bucket than in the patient Syndrome": they discuss epidemic nature of hysterectomy-where many of these surgeries only fill the surgeons' pockets! The male of the species inflicts upon the female, bilateral mastectomy, hysterectomy, ovariectomy etc and yet calls the survivor, a female. They further urge: '
Females unite! You have nothing to lose except your inferiority complex! Declare loudly that not one of your precious organs is worth dispensing with.'
Some successful treated gynaec cases given: 3 of Pyrogen- 2 of Dr Lakshminarayanan, of post partum infections, so common in hospitals. Whether mild or severe, they implant a chronic miasm- an ever- increasing disability lasting a lifetime. This, he claims, is the result of over-zealous sterilization in hospitals and nursing homes, which also destroy beneficial microorganisms, in whose absence; the drug resistant organisms multiply rapidly. One case of a 70-year-old woman, whose complaints of oedema in legs & hypertension could be traced back to her pregnancy, was cured by Pyrogen. Her son, born after many miscarriages, suffered from eczema, asthma, polyarthropathy and flatulence. Here too, Pyrogen helped. The second case of a 40-year-old lady with metrorrhagia from fibroids had her uterus saved by Homoeopathy.
Case 3 relates to a 39 year-old woman, who, while was being treated for fracture, developed multiple corns on her [L] sole, which did not respond to Ant-crud and Calc-flour. Her egotistical and nymphomaniac nature pointed to Platina. Platina 200 OD 3 days & her pains disappeared but corn thickness and size SQ. Lyco (hyperacidity, flatulence etc) literally affected the corn to fall off. Lyco worked only after Platina. The curious feature was the one-shot disappearance.
Other interesting articles:
- Excerpts from Dr Hahnemann's writings on the Homoeopathy- science & philosophy.
- Importance of relaxation for prolonging life by Dr W Gutman.
- Dr Rastogi's on Boger-Boeninghausen repertory. The editor comments that after this lecture, there was a beeline for purchasing BB! Dr Rastogi illustrated how BB helped find the similimum. 98 % of the aggravation and amelioration can be found in this repertory. The Editor of the Journal in the same issue has emphasized the pitfall of blind repertorisation without paying attention to the PQRS symptoms.
