Oops, meant oesophageal atresia rather than stricture - though this also may be a possibility.

The cyanosis may also be present from a fistula between the oesophagus and trachea.

If this was so you would be looking more at the cyanosis remedies that relate to aspiration or pneumonia rather than the cardiac remedies.

Kind Regards,

Gee, I should have put this all in the one email.

I would probably prescribe Calc first.

My second choice would be Ant-t, especially if I could listen to what was going on in the airways.

Kind Regards,

Dear all,

The reason why I sent this case was not to find a remedy for this infant. As Fran mentioned, this is a typical case of esophageal atresia with fistulization to trachea. The sign and symptoms are all manifestations and results of a 'mechanical problem'. This case urgently needs surgical operation and no homeopathy remedy can help the infant to cure the congenital defect.

This is an apparent counterexample for those who think we can just rely on presenting symptoms. This is just one type of example showing the necessity of understansding cases before jumping to repertorizing phase. There are reactive, static and dynamic issues to be considered prior to understanding 'what is to be cured' in the context of homeopathic intervention.

The free course running by Nader and Ellen aims at such understanding of case analysis. If you have not joined them at the free online classroom, I insistently suggest you to go there and experience the clear logic of case analysis. I believe that both experienced homeopaths and students of homeopathy can benefit from what is being offered.

Dear Ardavan,
The fact is that this kind of apparent deaths are frequently quoted in papers/news and survival rate of such neonates is very much low despite of availability of modern medical help. If such kind of case is seen in a remote rural area where there aren't any hospitals, surgeons & scanning facilities, what would you like to advise a Homeopathic having a small office with few (100) remedies. Shouldn't he go for help and suggest a remedy according to symptoms available or should he leave the baby for what is evident. In such areas the ultimate fate of such babies is above-all known.
Your insight.....please
My Best,
skr

Dear skr,

The point that the survival depends on the available medical facilities is correct. No one can deny this. But the basic point here is that homeopathic remedies cannot help this infant. This is just one example among hundreds of other examples where homeopathy or homeopathy alone cannot help the patients. We should clearly understand where we can help the patients with homeopathy. In the example mentioned, yes even with modern surgical methods the mortality rate is high but there is a chance worth trying. But there are other examples in which a short delay may endanger the life of the patient or deprive him/her from a better condition where there are other methods that can help. If we clearly understand the task of homeopathy, we can much better apply the principle of simillimum.

Warm regards,

Dear Dr. Ardavan,
Thank you for kind prompt reply and I'm also of your mind that Homeopathic remedies may not help this baby or even modern medical ways may not save the infant but surely each physician should know the limits of the field he/she is attached. I have seen by my eyes, dying patients in big hospitals, despite of taking measures of surgery, scans, mri, x-rays & para clinic results due to mismanagement only, have any words for that? A homeopath is less dangerous to such patients than the surgeons.
I hope you know better what the modern medical system is doing in the name of science to the humanity. The means/principles of restoring health should be easy and understandable. Otherwise referring to other branches is common every where. Chest specialists refer the patient to ENT, and ENT to heart and so on and the patient rolls between them.
Yes It is for sure that the proper use of armament what homeopathy have is the prime responsibility of a homeopath. If there is a way to achieve that systematically one must go for as you referred to Nader & Ellen. But my request is that "Homeopaths" must not be treated as layman or foolish.

My Best,
skr

"Here is my scientific definition for HOMEOPATHY:

Homeopathy is a therapeutic method of curing diseases by using 'molecular imprints' of drug substances, which in 'molecular forms' could produce 'symptoms' similar to those presented by the patient. 'Similarity' of drug symptoms and disease symptoms indicate that the drug molecules and pathogenic molecules have 'similar' functional groups, by which they could bind to 'similar' biological molecules, produce 'similar' molecular inhibitions that caused 'similar' molecular pathology which are expressed through 'similar' subjective and objective 'symptoms'. Molecular imprints of 'similar' drug molecules can act as artificial binding sites for 'similar' pathogenic molecules due to complementary configurational affinity, thereby deactivating them and relieving the biological molecules from pathological inhibitions, which amounts to 'cure'. This the scientific meaning of Similia Similibus Curentur"

I thought homeopathy did,not cure disease but corrected the body so it could heal itself?

Hi Vicki,

Dr Nambiar's hypothesis is potentially one half of what Hahnemann suggested.

Yes, the similar somehow neutralises the disease but then, the weakened, overwhelmed, burdened (choose your own description) Vital Force rebounds, reclaims, moves back into space vacated by the disappearing disease and starts to coordinate the body's processes in a healthy manner. Rather than those processes being controlled and disrupted by the disease, the Vital Force is once again able to do its job.

This is my understanding of what Hahnemann suspected .... that two parts are involved - the disease AND the activities of the Vital Force. If the the Vital Force does not rebound as the disease is being removed or cancelled out, there is no return to health .... in this instance, death is probably not far off. Thinking about that, maybe there is some merit in the suggestion that our diseases keep us alive.

Kind Regards,

Fran Sheffield

1 His mission is not, however, to construct so-called systems, by interweaving empty speculations and hypotheses concerning the internal essential nature of the vital processes and the mode in which diseases originate in the interior of the organism, (whereon so many physicians have hitherto ambitiously wasted their talents and their time); nor is it to attempt to give countless explanations regarding the phenomena in diseases and their proximate cause (which must ever remain concealed), wrapped in unintelligible words and an inflated abstract mode of expression, which should sound very learned in order to astonish the ignorant - whilst sick humanity sighs in vain for aid. Of such learned reveries (to which the name of theoretic medicine is given, and for which special professorships are instituted) we have had quite enough, and it is now high time that all who call themselves physicians should at length cease to deceive suffering mankind with mere talk, and begin now, instead, for once to act, that is, really to help and to cure.
