Has anyone dealt with this newly identified tick borne Powassen virus?
I have used homeopathy and low level laser very successfully with Lyme
along with some other herbals
and energy treatments. But would like to know the difference with this
new virus.
It reportedly is a very fast developing disease that can kill
overnight. This adds a particular concern for
understanding and identifying it.

vector tick diseases
Take the whole case and treat it constitutionally. No matter what tick it is, as long as the body has had time to adjust in its own special way to he tick bite, you have to treat the whole person and not just the local bite. If you caught the bite right away, there would be no problem with local treatment only. Then still you would treat according to the symptoms.

There’s not a lot of info out there on Powassan virus. FWIW, this is from the CDC (and is just as soporific as you’d expect from an agency that understands so little about tick-borne diseases):
* Many people infected with Powassan virus do not have symptoms.
* For people with symptoms, the time from tick bite to feeling sick ranges from 1 week to 1 month.
* Initial symptoms can include:
* Powassan virus can cause severe disease, including infection of the brain (encephalitis) or the membranes around the brain and spinal cord (meningitis).
* Symptoms of severe disease include:
* Approximately 1 out of 10 people with severe disease die.
* Approximately half of the people who survive severe disease have long-term health problems such as:
The encephalitis or meningitis are what kill. Given the speed with which this can develop and the symptoms (at least as described by the CDC), I’d say Belladonna might be needed for starters. Once we know more about this disease, the remedy picture(s) should clarify.
Peace,

Re: vector tick diseases
Thanx Dale. Seems like we need to look at remedies and other protocols that affect brain disorders in particular.
Unfortunately it sounds like quite a number of people will be dying and becoming disable before we have that remedy picture more clearly.

Re: vector tick diseases
Hi,
I stand corrected. Thank you. I am going to try to state the theoretical background behind your email. Please correct me.
So, Dale you are saying that because this is such a serious epidemic disease, in any given population there should be a standard remedy, or at least a typical remedy. An epidemic is not like the standard classical constitutional case because the pathogen overwhelms the population that it attacks and they all produce the same or a portion of the same set of symptoms. So, you would expect to take the whole case but come to at least a small set of typical remedies. If you had an opportunity to do for example five cases in one locality, you would have a good chance of producing the epidemicus virusum— The remedied it’s going to heal I’m just everybody in that population. At least you will find the first remedy that should be used for that population. As we get more information by doing cases, the typical set of remedy should become more clear. You were suggesting belladonna based on your clinical experience and what you have heard from others, I’m guessing.
I don’t think that the Powassan virus is included in Dr. Shahdrar’s Repertorium Virosum, but this is an example of an epidemic where you would want that kind of respiratory. It’s a virus that needs to be added to the RV. Even the current RV would be useful in repertorizing these kinds of cases.

Hi, Ellen
Fortunately or unfortunately I’ve had no clinical experience with Powassan. My suggestion of Belladonna was simply based upon the typical symptoms noted by the CDC. Obviously, faced with a real patient, you’d have to take the case — but because of the speed with which this particular disease can move, you’d want to keep “sudden onset” remedies in mind.
I think there probably is a genus epidemicus, just as Ledum can deal with most cases of Lyme. Don’t think I’ve found it, however: I’m simply speculating.
Peace,
Dale

Re: vector tick diseases
understood. Actually, Dr. Shahrdar made the Repertorium Virosum taking symptoms from a standard medical description of the typical epidemic diseases. So, what you did to arrive at Belladonna must be"standard practice" for a disease that is not well known.
