The Scope of Homeopathy in Various Auto Immune Diseases

The environment where we live is packed with various harmful agents like bacteria, virus, allergy inducing particles (antigens), chemicals, dusts, pollutants etc. Every moment they are entering inside our body either through the air that we breathe or foods or drinks that we take or through skin by contact with. Inside our body there is a defence unity called body   immune system that consist of various immune cells.Those immune cells of our immune system acts like well trained shoulders at the situation whenever any foreign particles like virus, bacteria or harmful substance enter inside our body they fight with them to kill and protect our body and cells from their attack. So every moment our immune cells are engaged in searching and fighting with the foreign substances to keep our body safe and healthy.

BUT, sometimes our immune system get confuse to recognize between our own cell and outer foreign particles and start attacking our own cells thinking of foreign particle by which some health issues are developed. This is called auto immune disease. There are as many as 80 types of autoimmune diseases. Some common auto immune diseases are

• Rheumatoid arthritis - inflammation of joints and surrounding tissues
• leucoderma (vitiligo) - white patches on the skin
• Psoriasis - a skin condition that causes redness and irritation as well as thick, flaky,silver-white patches
• SLE - affects skin, joints, kidneys, brain, and other organs
• Celiac sprue - a reaction to gluten (found in wheat, rye, and barley) that causes damage to the lining of the small intestine
• Inflammatory bowel disease - a group of inflammatory diseases of the colon and small intestine
• Type 1 diabetes - destruction of insulin producing cells in the pancreas
• Sjögren’s syndrome - destroys the glands that produce tears and saliva 
• Pernicious anemia- decrease in red blood cells caused by inability to absorb vitamin B-12

WHY THE AUTO IMMUNE DISEASES OCCUR

In medical science it does not have any specific cause why it occurs. But there certain factors that may responsible for developing auto immune diseases.

Many clinical surveys say that the environmental factor plays a major role in developing various auto immune diseases. Now a days our environment has changed a lot. Everywhere there is pollution. The airs, water, foods all are polluted. 50 years ago there were not so many types of auto immune diseases. The atmosphere was not so polluted like present age. During those period peoples were taking healthy foods not so  much adulterated foods. The air was clean not so much polluted like present day. So as the science and technology develops side by side brings lots of negative things. The pollution level rises. The ozone level is gradually decreasing in the air. The water level is gradually decreasing. There has been a lot of changes in the atmosphere in compare to the past few decades years back. Not only in the external world the changes is marked inside us. Our stress level has increased a lot. Our though process has changed a lot. Our work style has changed a lot. Our mind setup has changes a lot. Our perception towards a subject has been changed a lot. The positiveness and positive attitude has been decreased a lot. Our anxiety, fear, stress, level has increased in compare to past age. The attitude of a person has changed. Anger, irritability, greedy, intolerance attitude has been increased. Physical activities have reduced a lot. 

In fact the whole things have been changed from external world to our internal world drastically in the course of time. But our body, our organs, our cells are same as millions year back, working the same function like before. The changing of environment, the changing of emotional level, the changing of psychological level putting tremendous negative impact on our body, in our cells specifically in our immune endocrine system. So our innocent simple reacting immune system has been disturbed and acting abnormally as a result so many auto immune diseases are creating and destroying the human society. This is the real threat now in the medical science to cure the auto immune disease as because there is no treatment has been discovered to cure a auto immune disease except managing the symptoms for temporarily basis.

Scope of Homeopathy Treatment-

In this regards homeopathy has a prospective role of treatment in the auto immune disease as because homeopathy treatment is not only based on the disease symptoms alone but the person’s psychological and emotional symptoms also taken care which are otherwise known as the root trigger factors for the development of the disease. Every individual has its own trigger factors either in his psychological level or emotional level or physical level or genetic level.

Homeopathy treatment finds the thread of root cause of the triggers factors and treat accordingly, thus helps to bring back the equilibrium of the body’s immune system in a natural way to normal state thus may help to cure the auto immune diseases. For example a person of having psychological trauma in past life like death of any of his/her nearest or dearest one and that makes him/her to a depressive state and in the course of time develops irritability and after a few years develops psoriasis. So a homeopath takes the detail symptoms not only about the psoriasis symptoms of the person but his/her past life event of any psychological trauma and his/her present irritability nature and basing on all those symptoms the medicine is choose and if given can able to cure the disease. So there are not same set of medicines for a particular disease which can be repeated for every patient.

But at the same time the general management therapy whatever is required for the patient should be kept continued along with homeopathy treatment.

Autoimmune diseases are a group of illnesses where the body’s immune system turns against itself.They are similar to allergy-related conditions because in both the immune system is over-active.

Many clinical surveys say that the environmental factor plays a major role in developing various auto immune diseases. Now a days our environment has changed a lot. Everywhere there is pollution. The airs, water, foods all are polluted. 50 years ago there were not so many types of auto immune diseases. In fact the whole things have been changed from external world to our internal world drastically in the course of time. But our body, our organs, our cells are same as millions year back, working the same function like before. The changing of environment, the changing of emotional level, the changing of psychological level putting tremendous negative impact on our body, in our cells specifically in our immune endocrine system. So our innocent simple reacting immune system has been disturbed and acting abnormally as a result so many auto immune diseases are creating and destroying the human society. This is the real threat now in the medical science to cure the auto immune disease as because there is no treatment has been discovered to cure a auto immune disease except managing the symptoms for temporarily basis.

In all these conditions the body’s immune system is inappropriately activated and various organs become it’s target as if they were foreign invaders.The causes or instigating factors are unknown. Hereditary predisposition may play a role, as may some environmental factors. In considering treatment, one must first have a clear understanding of what one is treating with any modality used.  Allopathic treatments involve suppression of immunity by steroids and other invasive medications who have serious side effects and affect vital organs like liver, kidneys, brain etc.On the other hand well chosen constitutional homeopathy not only strengthens the immunity but also can reverse the autoimmune process which is seen clinically by the autoimmunity titres in the blood studies.

                                                                                                              

Homeopathy believes in restoration of homeostasis (inner balance), enabling natural reversal of the disease, resolution of inflammatory process and restoration of normal organ function in cases where the damage was not too severe, including thyroid, kidney, lung, joints, platelets (ITP cases), etc. In most cases of autoimmune disease this is my preferred modality to start with, complementing with all other modalities discussed above when necessary.

Homeopathy treatment finds the thread of root cause of the triggers factors and treat accordingly, thus helps to bring back the equilibrium of the body’s immune system in a natural way to normal state thus may help to cure the auto immune diseases.

We are presenting here two two cases of autoimmune diaseses namely Sjogrens syndrome and Ulcerative colitis with biochemical as well as clinical evidence thus proving the efficacy of homeopathic medicines over contemporary medicine.

AUTISM AND HOMEOPATHY

AUTISM AND HOMEOPATHY

All autistic patients should be treated with homeopathy.

There are three main reasons.

First, the conventional treatment of psychiatric drugs is meant to calm the patient down, not to cure.

Second, autism is really a spectrum. It ranges from mild to severe and is caused by a variety of diseases, some neurological, some biochemical, etc. With accurate homeopathic treatment, all cases will move in the right direction. It is only a matter of how far. However, the degree of autism did not seem to correspond to the degree of the cure. In other words, mild cases may receive only partial benefit, whereas some severe cases have been greatly affected by homeopathic treatment.

The third reason for choosing homeopathy is that many of the other therapies, such as diet and nutrition, seem to work much better after homeopathic treatment. In particular, the benefits of sensory integration therapy are increased by the action of a good homeopathic remedy.

Cervical Spondylosis and Homeopathic Treatment:

Cervical Spondylosis and Homeopathic Treatment:

Neck pain is a common illness from which almost all of us suffer at least once in a lifetime. We often hear complains of neck pain from our colleagues, friends, relatives, etc. in our daily life. Neck pain has been known by a medical term “cervical spondylosis”. This mainly occurs due to the degeneration of joints in our neck. As we grow older the bones in our body starts degenerating and that’s why cervical spondylosis is common in people with over 60 years of age. Cervical spondylosis is basically a form of arthritis, but it rarely leads to disability.

Cervical spondylosis results more in women than in men. There is no specific cause of neck pain known, until now, but it occurs due to one or more disorders or diseases that exist in the structures of the neck. Though it’s hard to eliminate neck pain, homeopathy can work for you. Homeopathy has been a great way to cure cervical spondylosis as the treatment is dependent on amounts of degenerative change that took place in the bones and the disk. The recovery time depends on the extent to which your spinal cord has damaged. The homeopathic treatment is more effective in cases where the damage is mild.

Homeopathy is a symptom based treatment procedure. Some generally used homeopathic medicines for neck stiffness and pain are Guaicum, lachnanthes, and Rhus Tox.

If you’re suffering from arm numbness associated with cervical pain then Paris Quadrifolia and Kalmia latifolia works best.

To dissolve the bony outgrowths of the vertebrae, you can take Calcarea Flour. These homeopathic medicines work as wonders for cervical spondylosis

What is Homeopathy?

What is Homeopathy?

Homeopathy is a system of medical therapy that uses very small doses of medicines, or remedies. These remedies are prepared from substances found in nature. 

 The homeopathic doctor chooses the proper remedy by following a special rule of nature called theLaw of Similars. This law states "like cures like," or that a medicine can cure a sick person if it can cause similar sickness in a healthy person. For instance, if you peel an onion, your eyes burn, itch and water. You might also have a runny nose and begin to sneeze. If you had similar symptoms during a cold or allergy attack, such as a runny nose, watery eyes and sneezing, a homeopathic micro-dose of the remedy Allium cepa (red onion) would help your body heal itself.

What are Homeopathic Remedies?

Any plant, mineral or animal substance can be used as a remedy. The original substance is diluted in liquid repeatedly, and vigorously shaken with each dilution. Unusual as it sounds, these very small amounts of remedies can act very strongly when used properly. Also, because the remedies are very diluted, they are extremely safe. The clinical experience of homeopathy shows that the micro-dose is effective:.

What to expect during a visit to a homeopathic practitioner?

You will be asked to describe all your problems in detail as well as a complete description of everything that characterizes you, especially your feelings, sensations, sensitivity, psyche, and all that concerns your organism in terms of energy, sleep, appetite, digestion, etc. This thorough and initial interview requires approximately half to one hour. The better the homeopath understands the patient and his or her problems, the better they can individualize to find the specific and most similar remedy for the patient's  condition.

Which diseases can be treated with homeopathy?

This may sound strange but in homeopathy we do not treat diseases, but treat the person who is sick. Whether a person has a chronic or an acute disease, all of their symptoms, whether physical, mental or emotional form a whole representing a state of imbalance very specific to this individual. The goal of the homeopath is to recognize through the unique expression of symptoms of a patient the pattern of disturbed energy and identify among the great number of remedies available the one most homeopathic, or most similar to, the patient's disease.

What can homeopathy treat

Allergies, asthma, skin conditions like eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, vitiligo, atopic dermatitis, urticaria (hives) etc, women problems like irregular menses, infertility, white discharge, infections, polycystic ovarian syndrome etc, arthritis, urinary tract infections,hairfall, IBS, ear infections, nasal polyps, sinusitis,migraine, poor immunity,thyroid, weight gain, hypertension, diabetes etc
