Hi Soroush,

Congratulations to the Drs Moradi and Golchin who undertook this clinical
trial, the results are impressive even if the details are little scant. I
hope there will be a more detailed analysis of each individual case in the
trial from which we can all benefit. In the meantime may I ask for a few
clarifications (particularly with regard to Complete Spinal Cord Injury):

(1) Did all 31 people in the trial sustain a Spinal Cord Injury due to an
external trauma, or were some cord injuries due to secondary lesions from
non-traumatic medical conditions?

(2) 23 people were classified as having Complete SCI. Of these, 5 showed
improvement in ASIA Impairment grades and thus would now be re-classified as
having Incomplete SCI . What level of paralysis did *each* of these 5 people
sustain (tetraplegia/paraplegia?), and for how long, before homoeopathic
treatment began? Was there a re-instigation of voluntary anal sphincter
control or peri-anal sensation in any these 5 people?

(3) Were there any attempts to delineate the type of spinal fracture (e.g.
compression, burst) which occured in association with cord injury to see
what difference that made on the effectiveness of homoeopathic treatment?

(4) Were there any reports of a reduction in neuropathic pain in any of the
subjects?

I ask these questions because a change in classification from Complete to
Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury is certainly not "extremely rare" in the first
few years as bone fractures repair, inflammation of nerve fibres is brought
under control (allopathically with loads and loads of steroids and
anti-spasmodics) and the Central Nervous System readjusts to the injury in
various limited degrees. While re-classifications of SCI can offer hope of
some improvement in sensations and motor function it doesn't mean the
patient will necessarily go on to completely recover and walk again. In the
vast majority of cases the injury is unfortunately just permanent! This is
why classifications of Spinal Cord Injury are only made tentatively in the
first 2 or 3 years following a severe spinal trauma - because they change by
degrees over time and moreso with remedial therapies. I think, rather being
BREAKING NEWS, this trial supports what other holistic practitioners, and a
few more homoeopaths outside of Iran have already seen for themselves -
that homoeopathy can certainly remedy serious injury in some instances, but
moreso it can assist in the overall adaptation to permanent Complete Spinal
Cord Injury by improving mental and emotional adaptability, appetite,
digestion, and lowering the incidence of genito-urinary infections,
pneumonia, and skin breakdown. All of which are VERY positive results in the
face of a catastrophic physical and emotional trauma.

Chris.

Dear Chris

I have forwarded your post to Drs Moradi and Golchin to reply in full as
most of the questions need a detailed response.

In the main the patients were victims of road traffic accidents.

Dear Chris,

I am very glad to see that many of colleagues are interested in our clinical
trial on treatment of Spinal Injuries. As you have asked some questions
therefore my answers are under each question.
