Aphorism 100-102 is dealing with the treatment of epidemic diseases.
According to Dr.Hahnemann, a carefully observing physician can arrive
so nearly at knowledge of the true state of the epidemic from the
examination of even the first and second patients and can even find a
suitable homoeopathic remedy for it. Dr. Hahnemann recommends
investigating each epidemic disease as a new and unknown case and
selecting medicine according to its symptom similarity.

Homoeopathy has a very good scope in the treatment of chikungunya.
Initially indicated acute remedies may give relief which may be
followed by constitutional remedy in order to get rid of post fever
arthralgia

Homeopathy offers many medicines which may help in Chikungunya. These
include medicines like Eupatorium-perf, Pyroginum, Rhus-tox, Cedron,
Influenzinum, China, Arnica, Belladona, Bryonia, Nux vomica, Sulphur
etc. Eupatorium Perfoliatum Q (tincture, 3 to 5 drop dose) will remove
the debilitating joint pains and cut short the intensity and duration
of the disease. Other potencies may be used according to the intensity
of the case. In Andhrapradesh medicines such as Eupatorium200 &
Belladonna has cured number of cases.

Hi all,

Jean writes

I did a bit of reading up on the sx, parasite etc. and feel it can be readily tackled with homeopathy. I don't see it to be any more challenging than dengue, malaria, brucella, giardia, bilharzia, or typhoid, etc. All of which (except dengue) we frequently treat in Kenya.

We have a protocol here (ALF-clinics in Kenya) that we generally use in dealing with parasital & bacterial diseases -eg ameba & bowel, giardia, typhoid, brucella, malaria, etc. It seems to work well for most clients.

1) nosode low potency- 6 or 30- of the parasite. Dose 1 or 2 pills (doses) a day for 5-7 days. (Or water potency)

2) symptomatic (individualized) or epidemic rx. 2-3 times a day until cure.

3) occasionally a "finishing rx" needs to be prescribed - like sulphur, nux, ant crud, china sulph, carbo veg, etc especially if there's been a lot of previous interference with allo drugging.

Remember too- In those countries where such diseases exist, are also the very places where we need to be capable of treating the masses quickly. Developing protocols for endemic, epidemic or pandemic disease is also an important aspect of Medicine by which homeopathy should be capable to meet the challenge.

====
So for example:

In Brucella- brucella nosode30 followed -usually- by bryonia or rhus tox

In Typhoid- typhoidinum 30 followed by rhus tox (OR ant crud, arnica, pyroginum, baptisia, etc.)

------
most of our patients will clear their diseases with this approach.

The challenge with village patients is them not getting continually re-infected from exciting causes (no net, bad water, etc)

Only in some cases, where the disease seems to be intractible or persistant, we need to move into "deeper" constitutional or mental-emotional prescribing, detoxing the system with diet, nutritional approach, organ support, etc.

Thanks Didi. Your experience great. Best wishes, Jean

Hi Didi,

How much do you feel the nosode contiributes to treatment in contrast to using the straight genus epidemicus. I ask because while nosodes can be great preventatives, old masters have stated that they are not so good for treatment. Some others report they are likely to aggravate if given while an infection is in progress.

As I do not face these epidemic diseases and have had to rely on information left by those old masters who did, I am interested in your experiences.
Have your protocols have come out of experimentation with and without the nosode component? What else have you found and under what circumstances. Many thanks for the info you can share.
