Individualized Holistic Health Care

In the very near future, a large part of our understanding and management of immunity may come from the study of Microbiome. The pace of research in the area of the human microbiome and its interaction with the environmental microbiome has picked up.  And the current pandemic of novel coronavirus or COVID19 may well pave the way towards ensuring sustained immunity. Every living organism is bestowed with the same privilege to propagate and evolve into a stronger species. The antibiotics and anti-virals have at its best managed to control them but not annihilate them. We have seen it in the case of antibiotics - we have today what we call the fifth-generation antibiotics and the bacteria continue to adapt and evolve developing resistance every subsequent generation of antibiotics. In the case of viruses, we now have vaccine-resistant polio strain. For the moment the antibiotics and anti-virals are meanwhile fire-fighting measures we need to have around.

Renowned Homeopath Dr Rajan Sankaran has zeroed into homoeopathic remedy Camphora 1M as the Genus Epidemicus to be used as preventive and to aid recovery from Corona Virus (COVID 19). A genus epidemicus remedy is said to cover the symptoms seen in the majority of Corona infected persons. He has reached this conclusion after encouraging results seen in patients treated with Camphora 1M in Iran, Romania, Nepal, Netherland and a few other countries.

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

The human race has outlived many epidemics and pandemics. From antiquated cholera to the more recent celebrity kinds like the ebola, SARS-CoV, H1N1, Zika, Nipah and now the latest New Coronavirus which first surfaced in Wuhan, China. And there are so many more viruses yet to be discovered. Life's DNA is programmed to procreate, to function and to evolve. The primary objective is to ensure the survival of its species. This is true for all, be it humans, animals, plants, bacteria and viruses. It is this very reason why bacteria and virus not only survived billions of years but also managed to outsmart human devised weapons like vaccines, antibiotics and anti-virals. These pathogens mutate and change their genetic code even as we are busy creating the next-generation drug to get better of them. They use their innate intelligence to move from one host to another and in the process employ an adaptive immunity to survive and evolve in our body. Have you ever wo
