All Living Beings Are Resilient...


Have you ever given a thought to a fact that when we get a cut or a bruise, you have to just keep the injured area clean, no need to apply any medication, after some time the bleeding stops (clotting), then there is inflammation and in another few hours the skin joins and you see scab being formed (granulation) and in few days the skin is seamlessly in place - healed. (Read:Sequence of process in wound healing) How and why does this and so many self healing miracle happen?
All living beings are resilient. Left alone and given the right environment we all have ability to recoup to our original health. Our body has this unique ability to repair itself by virtue of a program within the ‘Genes’ of the human body. These genes are constantly on the alert to defend and protect the body. This gift lies within our genetic material, expressed as proteins which are responsible for the way the body expresses and defends itself when in danger (internal as biochemical imbalance or external as infections). Genes are programmed to defend by either inflammation like fever, swelling: construction like a growth or indurations (corns, keloids) or destruction like an ulcer. Thus all diseases are in reality a form of expression of defense by the human body.
Today, we know that just as there are specific genes that determine our structure (height, complexion, hair etc.) and also our disposition (introvert, extrovert, mild, timid, courageous…etc) there are genes which when triggered by a complex interaction of environmental and genetic factors manifest into cancer, parkinsonism, and other auto-immune disorder and the latest research in genetics talk about  genes being capable of switching on and off.  All this implies that it is important we understand what are the factors that lead to the genes being activated.  It could be stress or environment factors that run contrary to the innate nature of the person that snaps when it reaches a threshold that causes a dormant or repressed gene to get activated leading to auto-immune diseases.  Till such time that the threshold is not reached the body will constantly throw up symptoms like a yo-yo. If we do not pay heed and take corrective measures…then one day…we end up with….
All this research draws our attention to the fact that a health care solution based on individualization will work best.
Ayurveda, the ancient Indian medicine system is based on individualization based on classification of constitution –Tri Dosha (Vatta, Pitta, Khapha).  The Ancient Greeks considered the three/four humors and have a lot common with Ayurveda.
Homoeopathy is again a grand medicine system that is based on individualization, it takes into account the traits, disposition and also the genetic disposition or inheritance from our ancestors. The miasms in homoeopathy are part of the schema to treat a person based on individualization. It would be pertinent to mention here that Dr. Prafull Vijayakar, a highly regarded Indian Homoeopath has contributed immensely by correlating the science of genetics, embryology and immunology to the unchanged precepts of homoeopathy as laid down by the founder Dr. Samuel Hahnemann in the Organon.
One needs to understand man as a whole, in totality; man is either sick or healthy, there is no in between.

    We all need to be greatful to our creator for giving us such a wonderful mechanism of a body which we should worship and pay attention to it when there's something that is out of the normal happening.

Historical Statistical Data on Success Of Homeopathy - Epidemics & Pandemics (Homeoprophylaxis)

Homoeopathy has a long and successful history of its use in epidemics and pandemics. The protocol is based on individualisation based on the mental-emotional makeup, physiological and physical symptoms of the individual. Homoeopathy avers that the 'vital force' or the immunity of the individual is the key to ward off illness and when this is deranged a person falls sick. It advocated lifestyle changes even while taking homoeopathic treatment  (Letter to the patient on cheerful methods of life) Also Read:  Your Immune System A Time-Tested Vaccine Against Coronavirus However, in the case of an epidemic, a remedy is prescribed when the remedy's proving symptom mirrors the symptom-complex exhibited by the majority of those infected by the actual pathogen. A remedy thus worked out is said to present the ' genus epidemicus ' of the disease. This remedy acts as a preventive (prophylaxis) among the majority or modifies to a milder form among the res...

Homoeopathic Posology through the eyes of Dr. S.P. Koppikar

This post brings out two important segments on the –one potency selection and the other repetition. The summary is based entirely on Dr Koppikar’s book “Clinical Experience of 70 Years in Homoeopathy”. What he says is not mere theorizing but comes as a result of ‘diligent’ experience; an experience of 70 years is definitely taking serious note of… It would have been easier to scan and upload the pages but then it would be unjust to the labour of the author.  The bold markings are my emphasis.  Brackets and italics are my words. 1.      In the chapter ‘How I learnt About Doses’ a.      He talks about Anaphylaxis or Allergic Shock as a result of a single dose (unchanged) repeated on the 10th day. When his own case met with disaster he then avoided repeating the dose early. b.     He then refers to Dr. Margaret Tyler who used to give 1M potency daily for 4 days and stop, with good effect. ...

Black Lung Disease- THE HEALTH EFFECTS OF BREATHING COAL DUST LADEN AIR’

My town Vasco-da-Gama is being ravaged by coal dust. The Indian port town of Goa  is a major ore and coal handling hub. The laid back citizenry is in a grip of respiratory disorders which is now trending towards an endemic proportion and this has led to frantic efforts by its people to right every wrong.  A wrong, in which the culpability of the government and its statutory bodies responsible to monitor and ensure compliance is beyond doubt. This post  hopes to educate and spread awareness on the fate that stares at the people of this town especially the children.  Some of the text reproduced here is taken from a study paper in Australia titled ‘THE HEALTH EFFECTS OF BREATHING THE AIR NEAR COAL MINES’. Every occupation bears the risk of some disorder of the other which is commonly termed as occupational hazard.  Those who work in salt pans have their share of disorder, and so do those working in iron, lead, and even gold mines.  The coal mine work...
