Hearing loss

Hearing loss

A 57 year old male patient came with the chief complaint of hearing loss since 7 to 8 years. Past history included gurgling like sound in his ears from time to time along with history of recurrent ear infections in childhood and early adulthood.

Other complaints included chronic gastritis with H. Pylori infection. His H. Pylori was fully treated but GERD persisted. 

He worked in plantations and hence he was put on a full deworming course in sequential manner (Mebendazole, levamisole and ivermectin). 

He was also put on oral cytokine drops of Trichostatin A as the report showed presence of Epstien barr virus (EBV) and Cytomegalovirus (CMV) IgG levels were very high. This improved the hearing slightly. 

The GERD and fatty liver issues made me give him homeopathic remedy Nux Vomica. It was initially started with OD dosing which showed mild hearing improvement, then as his gastric symptoms and hearing started improving the dose was increased to BD and then to TDS.  

Note : Usually when choosing a homeopathic remedy do look for the triad match and modalities. However when a characteristic symptom of any remedy is present such as in nux vomica where patient gets otitis media or has stage 3 retinopathy with micro bleeds or night blindness we can use the drug without anything else matching. 

Other examples include Ignatia for grief and in Nat Mur lack of feeling better on consolation or low sodium.

Abscess

Abscess

 

A 43 yr old man with eczema complained of soft to hard swelling at the prepucial skin near the root of the penis. It was not smegma and he was afebrile.

 

Patient was treated with 2 days of homeopathic remedy gunpowder 30c BD and silicea 200c BD. 

 

On the third day, the lump burst and the fluid drained out; skin went back to normal, no ulceration or wound.

 

Note : Silicea is also called the surgeon’s knife — when you want to chop off an abscess but can’t, use silicea and it will burst and heal without scarring.

Diabetic patient with oral candidiasis

Diabetic patient with oral candidiasis

 
An elderly diabetic female patient presented with oral candidiasis. Past treatment of itraconazole, fluconazole, voriconazole did not resolve the infection. 

New treatment regimen included a full deworming course of the patient along with oral anti fungal combo drops. The deworming course included albendazole, nitazoxanide, ivermectin and praziquantel in a sequential manner. After 15 days of treatment the lesion cleared up completely.

 

Rationale : 

The deworming course made sure that her gut health is restored.

The oral antifungal drops is a proprietary formulation which includes a combination of homeopathic remedies, cytokines like GDNF, IL 9, Trichostatin, beta glucan and herbal extracts known for their strong fungicidal and fungistatic properties.

Targeting both helminths and fungal infection together was required to resolve the infection.
