Anxiety

Anxiety

A patient contacted me 5 days ago, her issue was a rising blood glucose level. She has anxiety issues since 20 yrs after her father died. She was on tricylic antidepressants and an SSRI, beta blocker to reduce palpitations and a statin to reduce cardiac risk. Her LDL was never high. Despite the drugs she was always on edge, anxious all the time.
Tricyclic antidepressants are know to increase glucose levels so are the beta blockers and statins.
Gave her homeopathy Ignatia for grief and sepia to balance out serotonin.
In 5 days she has gone off the beta blocker and antidepressant and statin, no anxiety left anymore. She can sleep camly and her blood glucose also came normal.

The drugs were not important here, the diagnostic thinking was.

Alcoholism

Alcoholism

A patient with chronic alcoholism came with very high BP and diabetes. Triglycerides were very high at above 500.

He would frequently talk about old traumas and felt like murdering the people who harmed him. He would also suppress emotions and hold everything and finally would blast out. He had a poor attention span and he said his mind could not focus.

He was given homeopathy Phosphorus 1M (revenge seeking), staphysagria 1M (holding in emotions), Lobelia 10M (ADHD and alcoholism).

Within a week he was able to stop alcohol, which he had not done in 30 yrs and also was emotionally stable.

After the lobelia an old staph infection which was treated about 5 years ago flared up. I am now treating with low dose cortisol (low dose to remove immunosuppression), low dose hydrogen peroxide (catalse ability of staph is knocked off by it), staph 1m, belladonna+hepar sul+gunpowder and low dose akkermensia. He is responding well to this and skin is slowly healing.

Note :

This case shows how taking case history and etiology of alcohol drinking was extremely important to fix alcoholism.
He was given nux vomica by several homeopaths since the last 30 yrs but it didnt work because he was not a type A personality and had no features of nux vomica that matched him.

The lobelia 10m dramatically stopped the drinking within just one dose as it fixed the dopamine receptors.

Sepia

Homeopathy Sepia in chronic stress

A) one 52 year old lady with chronic stress and fibromyalgia; on letrazole for breast CA and in remission post chemo. She complained of sensitivity to cold wind and generalized aches and pains. I gave her homeopathy Sepia 200c 4 drops daily and in 3 days she is all better came in smiling. Told her to continue it.

B) The other case is of a guy with hearing loss. After homeopathy nux vomica and deworming course his hearing improved a lot. But he still heard echoes in the ears. This guy is a recent divorcee with chronic stress frm work related issues as well.

So I tried homeopathy Sepia 200c on him 4 drops BD and after a week there is more improvement in his hearing and he isn’t tired all the time anymore. He went outstation yesterday and yet when he returned he had energy to go for a walk without fatigue.

Rationale : sepia is the ultimate serotonin regulator and hence helped these 2 patients with chronic stresss.

A gentleman operates a family food catering business. A responsible eldest son in the family.
During this pandemic, he had withdrawn himself, started getting angry easily and ask wife and son to go back to her family house. They lived together in his parents house which operates food catering business. He was very scared that his parents, siblings, wife and son might contract COVID19. His behaviour changed, he bacame OCD with excessive hand washing, observed others and demanded everybody in the house to wash their hands. He started being verbally abusive towards workers, washed all clothes over and over again. He was always paranoid about COVID and everyones hygiene around him.

Post COVID paranoia

Quite interesting case of post COVID Paranoia 

A 75 yr old doctor himself recovered from COVID. All his tests were negative but now he suffered delirium with paranoid thinking. He was thinking that people are going to kill him. He would call up random people and say sorry to them and then said ‘I want to tell you sorry before I die’. His paranoid thoughts started at night. He also has lung fibrosis post COVID, has high IL 6 with CEA increased to125.

So I give him my anti fibrosis combo of low does HGF+low dose Trichostatin A+H2SO3+homeopathy berrylium met.  Added Anti il 6 to fix the liver and homeopathy Aconite.

The paranoid thoughts stopped in a few minutes. By next day morning he was breathing better and seemed normal. He is now walking around like nothing was happening to him since over a month. The overnight recovery is truly phenomenol.

The aconite was the clincher in the case.

Grief

Grief

I had a lady came in who is 67yrs old with hypertension and was on amlodipine 5mg daily. Her resting BP was 130/76 mm Hg. She often complained of chest discomfort with feeling of getting a heart attack. This was on and off; she had done many ECGs over a year and visited many doctors with no resolution. Her sleep was alright. After probing further she talked about her late husband – he had a sudden cardiac death and she was overseas at that time; it was like there was no closure and the stress built up. She lives with her inlaws and has constant stress.

Seeing the grief I decided to try Ignatia 1M 2 drops daily for 3 days.

On the 4th day she came back saying the chest pain had gone, she had a good cry and released her burden of regret and sadness. Her BP was better 120/80 mm Hg. She was calm and was very thankful.

Suicidal thoughts

Suicidal thoughts

A recently divorced 32 yr old lady came in with severe depression and suicidal. She had started punching walls to bruise herself. She was feeling worthless. She had primary infertility due to bilateral fallopian tube strictures. She also complained of loss of appetite and she had lost 8kg in 2 months.

She visited a psychiatrist and was put on a SSRI. She became lot worse after that. She refused to increase the dose. Hence she came in to seek second opinion.

I put her on homeopathy Ignatia 10M 4 drops BD. And after 5 days for follow up visit she walked in clinic very calm and composed. There was no more crying. No more bruising of knuckles, her appetite had also improved. She was feeling happy and relived now!

Thank you Dr tariq for the knowledge that saved this lady form suicide.

Scalp fungal infection

Scalp fungal infection

My 101 year old granny had a fungal infection on her scalp, very itchy. We gave her sepia and the antifungal combo. The fungal infection went away but she got very drowsy with insomia at night. We stopped both sepia and antifungal after a week, the scalp had healed by then but the drowsiness continued. She also started to get hallucinations which hyoscamus could not treat. For the night insomia my aunt who is an ENT gave her some diazepam which made her very drowsy throughtout the day, it also stopped her hearing. She could not hear or see anything after the diazepam dose so after 3 days we stopped it.

We then gave her ignatia 1m. After the first 2 drops dose she started hearing and seeing enough to watch a movie, the effect lasted for 2 hrs. We dosed her again and this time effect lasted for a long time, she became aware of her surrounding and could hear and see. She also slept well in the night.

Chose ignatia because strychnine causes the sudden breakdown of muscles and bones and body tissues. Since she is so old the tissue degeneration is rapidly progressing, ignatia has paused it a bit. The infection mustve triggered oxidation and increased breakdown. I can only hope ignatia given to her daily stops the rapidity of her degeneration and gives her better quality of life.

Isolation depression

Isolation depression

My nephew (22 year old) who is an IT whiz was homebound since Covid started for the past 18 months. He began developing depression, was angry and snappy, sometimes weeping for no reason and kept asking his parents if he is losing his mind.

I asked them to try Ignatia 10M 4 drops bd and in 3 days he stopped isolating himself, started smiling and laughing again and back to his normal self. Tq so much Dr Tariq another young adult saved.
