Ignatia in baby

I was seen by young parents about their first born having osteomalacia and was refusing feeding past one week. The infant will only drink milk during deep sleep. He totally refused feeding while awake. I was thinking of some trauma experienced by the baby while feeding which caused such refusal.
I explained to parents and gave 1 drop of ignatia 200c in the baby milk whenever baby feeds.
The next day afternoon,the mother informed about baby feeding back to normal as before until now. Only 1 drop of ignatia reverts it.🤩 Tq dr tariq.

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.

Throat infection

Throat infection with panic

I did a case of homeopathy Ignatia, following is the message I received from patient.

“I am so much better dr. All symptoms gone so fast. It is unbelievable how a throat infection got better in 2 days. Yesterday i was like half dead n today i m so energetic. You are such a gift to this planet🌹🙏”

So she had throat pain, fever, loss of apetite and complained of palpitations while lying down. She was scared it was COVID and was in full panic state. I gave her homeopathy Ignatia and antiviral covid combo. After an hour her palpitations stopped and by next day her throat infection also resolved.

Anxiety in COVID

Had a 75 yr old patient with COVID, her SpO2 was around 90-92. I gave her homeopathy senega, pulsatilla (thirstless with cough), Ipecac (vomiting).

Next day SpO2 went up to 95. Vomiting stopped, cough improved and was drinking fluid but had no appetite.

Gave a 4 drops of ignatia and within 15 minutes she ate a proper meal after almost 4 days.

She had been put on almost 12 different meds for COVID which i stopped. Perhaps the 12 meds and anxiety together caused her the zero apetite.

Ignatia is truly a boon for COVID anxiety!

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

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.

Rheumatoid arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis

A 40 yr old female patient with rheumatoid arthritis since past 8 years came in to seek treatment. She was on methotrexate, corticosteroids, plaquenil and anti IL 6 blocker (actemra – Tocilizumab).

The complaints included painful joints of fingers, insomnia and excess fatigue. The joints were painful in the morning and the pain would increase by evening after full days of work. She reported pain to be better on rest and also that she has increased thirst. She noted that her autoimmune condition had started after the stressor event. She has as autistic child and after this her symptoms had started.

She was put on homeopathy Ignatia to relieve stress. After a day she reported normal sleep, however, her joint pain did not improve with ignatia. She was then put on oral cytokines VIP and Trichostatin A, dose 20 drops BD. After about a week we were able to stop her steroids and methotrexate. After another 2 weeks we stopped actemra.

As the patient still had little pain after about a month, she was given homeopathy bryonia (modality of patient being better on rest); with just 3 days after the bryonia patient reported that all her pain were gone and now the patient was off plaquenil too. Bryonia regulates vasopressin.The hypervigilance behaviour required as a mother with an autistic child had triggered abnormal vasopressin oxytocin responses leading to autoimmune arthritis.

On side note her autistic child was given croc, a month before we started treatment of the mother. By then the child had started stringing words together and forming sentences. As the stressor also improved the mothers response to the treatment also improved.
