Title Homeopathy: Myths & Facts 3 Author Jayesh Sanghvi, M.D.
In this third and last part of the series, Dr Sanghvi presents a few case records giving a glimpse into the vast array of Diseases & Disorders the Science of Homeopathy is capable of curing or relieving.

CANCER
Mr. S.M., aged 32 years, came on November 29, 1990 from Hyderabad [India]. Since 3 years he'd been occasionally passing blood in urine, mistaken as urinary infection.

Heavy bleeding in September 1990 led to detailed investigations. A large TUMOR [1+ inch] attached to the internal wall of the urinary bladder was discovered & on medical advise was immediately removed by surgery on September 15, 1990. Biopsy confirmed it as 'Transitional cell Carcinoma,Grade II;, said to be one of the fast developing group of Cancers. On a routine check two months after surgery, to everybody's shock, a tumor larger than the one removed was discovered! The surgeons refused to touch it anymore as another removal probably could lead to a much faster recurrence. At this stage the patient came in for Homeopathy. It definitely wasn't a very encouraging scenario. The patient was put onto the hoemopathic medication & was asked to undergo the routine necessary investigations as per the Oncologist's advise [cystoscopy, sonography or a CT Scan]. Four months into Homeopathic treatment & the first detailed investigation showed 'ABSENCE' of any growth and a normal urinary bladder! From then on investigations were done every 3 months & later on every 6 months.

The treatment was continued steadily till November 1996, during which phase there were two incidents of recurrence of very minor growths [Grade-I] in 1992 & 1994 due to the patient having gone back to his Tobacco chewing habit & also having stopped the Homeopathic treatment. On putting him back on medicines & stopping the tobacco, the growths disappeared both the times by the next 3'monthly checks. Since then all investigations were normal & the last information about the patient being in total good health was received 4 years after stopping his treatment, in the year 2000.
I believe that Homeopathy helps the cancer afflicted virtually at every stage; before, during or after chemotherapy, radiation or surgery. It has many a times cured cancer when modern medicine doctors have given-up. It also helps even where Morphine fails to relieve the intense suffering & agony caused by cancer or it's treatment. It helps withstand chemo or radiation better by reducing their side effects & can be given simultaneously. It also helps lead quality life & prolongs life-span in advanced stages. A proper Homeopathic Constitutional treatment can reduce the susceptibility to cancer [hereditary or otherwise].

UNDIAGNOSED Conditions
Ms. H., aged 36 years, came to me on February 10, 1997 from Malaysia. She suffered from severe, unbearable lower abdomen pains, since the age of 22. The pains were so intense that she'd faint. The strongest of painkillers had stopped helping. During the acute attacks which came on one or twice a month, there was nothing that could relieve her & she'd be bed-ridden, missing her office for days. In these past 14 years she'd consulted doctors in India, USA & Europe & on their advise, & their varied diagnosis, through a period of time gone through SIX different abdominal surgeries to no avail. The pains only went from bad to worse. The cause of pain remained obscure & the condition yet un-diagnosed!

Nearly two hours were spent on her case taking & it's indepth study. Within a week of starting the treatment, the patient felt minor relief [which she had never felt since a long time]. She was yet doubtful about how Homeopathy could bring this quick a relief when the best of treatment across the globe had failed. In a couple of months the pains were far less intense & infrequent.

Though she became totally pain free with by August 1997, she was treated steadily to strengthen her immunity till March 1998. Except for a mild recurrence in June 2001, she's been totally normal & to this day has brought in many patients from Malaysia, including her son & husband.

In absence of a clear diagnosis, the clue to this wierd case came in the form of her emotional onstitution. She was very friendly & talkative, yet suspicious, jealous, and very sensitive both emotionally & physically. All these symptoms fit in so well into the symptom picture of a particular Homeopathic remedy, which worked to cure not only physically, but helped reduce her suspicious nature & thereby tremendously improve relationship with her family.

EMERGENCIES & CRITICAL Conditions
Mr. H. S., aged 26 years, generally healthy, slipped into coma with high fever, convulsions, & paralysis, hospitalised in ICU. 36 hours later his condition was diagnosed as Brain Fever [cerebral encephalitis]. With no response to treatment, the family was told he would not survive beyond 24 hours. Homeopathy started 12 hours hence & within 8 hours he opened his eyes, came out of the coma. 16 hours later he recognised his family and also spoke. By 36 hours he had no fever or convulsions. In a month, he was back to his office, totally normal.

INCURABLE Eye Diseases
Mr.V.S, aged 56 years, from Gujarat, loss of vision in right eye 4 years ago due to glaucoma. At Boston Eye Institute, USA, he was told that his right eye vision was gone for good & that he try & save his left eye which too had started deteriorating. He also visited Chennai's Sankara Netralaya, (Asia's largest eye hospital), & by then the vision in his left eye was only 60%, in spite of treatment. He was put onto Homeopathy to help restrain further damage. Four months later he regained mild-vision in his [4 year old] Blind eye, & by the end of the yr he'd regained nearly 50% vision!!

In Conclusion
The majority of the cases which the Homeopaths treat are either chronic, undiagnosed or incurable. The advantage of being able to treat such conditions is due to the method of selecting a right remedy which fits into the unusual or peculiar aspects of the patients Emotional or Physical constitution, or his Family or Past History. Apart from the above mentioned conditions and the common chronic ailments [asthma, arthritis etc.] that one knows of, Homeopathy also works on:
1. Altering negative human emotions like, Anger, jealousy, arrogance, hatred, anxiety, suspiciousness, nervousness, fear etc.
2. Acute or Chronic Pancreatitis [ generally considered incurable or fatal].
3. Memory & Concentration.
4. Dyslexic or Backward or Autistic or Mongol children.
5. Facial [trigeminal] or Dental Neuralgias, Migraines etc.
6. Infertility, Sterility, Sexual disorders, Pregnancy problems etc.
7. Control & often Reverse Degenerative pathology like, Necrosis, Tumors, Ulcers etc.
