Cause OF The Peptic Ulcer1. Heredity – Patients with peptic ulcer often have a family history of the disease, this is particularly so with duodenal ulcers which develop below the age of 20 years. The relatives of chronic ulcer patients have three times the expected number of ulcers.2. Helicobacter pylori – This is the most important etiological factor in peptic ulcer disease, accounting for 90% of duodenal ulcers and 70% of gastric ulcers. By causing gastritis it reduces the resistance of the gastric mucosa to attack be acid and pepsin and a gastric ulcer may result.3. Non Steroidal Anti Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDS) – These damage the gastric mucosal barrier and are an important etiological factor in up to 30% of gastric ulcers.4. Smoking – confers an increased risk of gastric ulcer and to a lesser extent duodenal ulcer.Homeopathy offers some very good medicines for peptic ulcer disease. But for a homeopath, the symptoms of the disease are much more important than the ulcer itself. This is because to select the right medicine a homeopaths needs to differentiate between the finer presentations of a disease which, vary from person to person. A homeopath not only tries to heal the ulcer but also tries to remove the general predisposition to acquire it. The homeopath not only tries to find ‘What is wrong?’, but also ‘Why it went wrong?’; ‘Where it started going wrong?’; ‘How it evolved to the current stage?’ etc. To find the answers to all these questions, a homeopath tries to gather as much information as possible regarding the pat and present medical history of the patient, his/her family history, his/her general physical and psychological characteristics etc. This hard work on the part of homeopath not only helps in removing  the acute symptoms and the ulcer but also is usually able to remove the tendency for relapse. The ‘on-again/off-again’ nature of the disease is often removed and the general health of the person also improves as a result.Some of the commonly used medicines for gastritis and duodenal ulcers are argentum-nit, arsenic-alb, atropine, geranium, hydrastis, kali-bichrom, merc-cor, ornithogalum, phosphorus, uranium-nit, terebintha, lycopodium, pulsatilla, graphites, natrum-phos, medorrhinum etc.Source: hpathy.com

Addison’s disease is also known as chronic adrenal insufficiency or hypocortisolism or hypocorticism is a rare endocrine disorder wherein the adrenal glands produce insufficient steroid hormones.Addison’s disease is an endocrine or hormonal disorder that occurs in all age groups and afflicts men and women equally.The disease is characterized by weight loss, muscle weakness, fatigue, low blood pressure, and sometimes darkening of the skin in both exposed and nonexposed parts of the body.Addison’s disease occurs when the adrenal glands do not produce enough of the hormone cortisol and in some cases, the hormone aldosterone.Cortisol is normally produced by the adrenal glands, located just above the kidneys.Treatment1.Arsnenicum:Given to the patient with:a. nerve depressionb.gastric irritationc.general debilityd.feeble heart actione.tendency to vomitf.both the burning and the discoloration of the skin2.Argentum nitricum:Given in cases of:a.appetiteb.chronic wastingc.diarrhoea3.Natrum mur:earthy complexion,a.brown spots upon the back of the handsb.excessive mental and physical prostrationc.trembling of legsd.dim visione.want of appetite,f.nausea and vomitingg.depression of mind with irritability

Condurango is used to treat stomach cancer and Conium is used when there are hard glands that feel like a stone. Cancer metastasizes to the lymph glands because the lymph glands act like a filter. You should give Conium wherever you see a hard gland. Cadmium Sulph. is handy for stomach cancer. Its keynote is coffee colored vomit, which is blood from the stomach. Use it for black vomit as well. These are very chilly people, as chilly as ars. alb., and have great prostration, Euphorbium is for skin cancer and late stage breast cancer, when the cancer develops an open wound. Euphorbium has burning pains. It can also be used in bone pains. It is better from motion and cold applications. If you see sarcomas with open wounds, skin infection, or gangrene use Ars. Iod., in the 3X-6X potency without plussing morning and evening. It can also control infections in diabetes. Secale is also useful in improving the circulation. Hydrastis is good all over. One symptom of colon cancer is alternating constipation and diarrhea. It is treatable by Hydrastis. It can also be used in a pre-cancerous state with dyspepsia. Hydrastis has sinking empty hunger with loathing of food. Even the sweat of Hydrastis can be yellow. Kali salts have an affinity for the mucous membranes. All Kalis are chilly except for Kali Sulph. and Iod. Whenever something is wrong with the mucous membranes and you can’t figure it out, think of Kali. Polyps of the nasal passages suggest Kali. Kali can have debility, and a 2 to 5 AM aggravation. Tumor arising from the kidney calls for a kali salt. Mag. phos. is the remedy for spasmodic pains. It’s a fantastic remedy for dysmenorrhea. It acts better in hot water. Aconite, opium, phosphorus, and veratrum album are the remedies for fears. Late stage cancer has many fears. Neuralgic pains suggest aconite. Plumbum met. and Iod. have geat affinities for colic and constipation. This is the contradiction of Plumbum. The main clue is its affinity for nervous system. It is the main remedy for brain tumors. It is also useful for demylenizations. Any space occupying lesion of the brain suggests Plumbum Iodatum.

The first confusion about Carcinosin is that it cannot be used in a cancer case, only for a patient with a family history of cancer. My work has proved to the contrary. Kent believed cancer to be a result of suppressed psora. Several nosode preparations are available from different organs. I have used a preparation from cancer of the lung. Carcinosin have very demanding, moralizing parents. The child is sensitive and tries to please others. Carcinosin children are sensitive to reprimand. The adults have a strong tendency to take offense. Carcinosin children see a dichotomy in life. Their father says not to tell a lie, but then lies himself. So they are torn between these high standards and realities. Alopecia in discrete patterns was treated successfully by carcinosin. Persons needing Carcinosin masturbate at a very early age. They have childish traits as adults including nail biting, enuresis, and strange tics. It is useful in incestuous congenital problems.

The Carcinosin patient is artistic and often grows up to be pugnacious, independent, and rebellious. The Carcinosin child has a sense of responsibility for his or her family. They take life too seriously and cannot relax. They approach every issue as a matter of life and death. In spite of being overloaded, they take on more responsibility. In spite of being exhausted, they pursue eccentric hobbies. They are severely repressed emotionally. They are not easily satisfied and criticize others like a school teacher would. They have an obsessive concern with cleanliness. They are irritated by trifles. They love to travel and to do strange things. They have a love of dance and music. They are sympathetic and open, to the point of annoyance. Carcinosin can have a great resemblance to argentum nitricum.

Baldness is not usually caused by a disease, but is related to aging, heredity, and testosterone. In addition to the common male and female patterns from a combination of these factors, other possible causes of hair loss, especially if in an unusual pattern, include:

- Hormonal changes (for example, thyroid disease, childbirth, or use of the birth control pill)
- A serious illness (like a tumor of the ovary or adrenal glands) or fever
- Medication such as cancer chemotherapy
- Excessive shampooing and blow-drying
- Emotional or physical stress
- Nervous habits such as continual hair pulling or scalp rubbing
- Burns or radiation therapy
- Alopecia areata — bald patches that develop on the scalp, beard, and, possibly, eyebrows. Eyelashes may fall out as well. This is thought to be an immune disorder.
- Tinea capitis (ringworm of the scalp)

Hair-loss is again just an indicator that there is something not well in your body. The hairs may fall due to a local infection or due to a systemic disorder or deficiency. The treatment also varies accordingly. The following homeopathic medicines are often found indicated in cases of hair fall:

Alum, Ars, Bar-c, Carbo-veg, Flour-ac, Graph, Lyco, Nat-m, Nit-ac, Phos-ac, Phos, Selen, Sep, Syph, Thallium, Vinca.

There are currently no medical tests which can diagnose autism. Signs of autism vary from individual to individual . Diagnosis is usually based on careful observation as well as information provided by parents and other caregivers on the child’s behavior, communication, social interaction, and developmental levels.

There are also a number of screening tests or questionnaires which can be performed, including the CARS rating (Childhood Autism Rating Scale) and CHAT (Checklist for Autism in Toddlers). Diagnosis can be made by pediatricians, psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, or by a multi-disciplinary team, usually utilizing an autism symptoms checklist.

Though the aphorism of the Organon of Medicine and its certain portion are not directly connected with the process of collection, yet the advices given by Hahnemann forms the fundamentals of preparing a drug, in which the process of collecting a drug substance is an important part for the genuineness of the drug so prepared. In aphorism 264 of Organon of Medicine, Hahnemann holds, “The true physician must be provided with genuine medicine of unimpaired strength, so that he may be able to rely upon their therapeutic powers.” In aphorism 66 of Organon be also emphasises that “substances belonging to the animal and vegetable kingdoms, possess their medicinal qualities most perfectly in their raw state”. As such advices of Hahnemann are to use fresh animal and vegetable drug substances

Vegetable Kingdom – Purity and genuinity of the original drug substances must be ensured. All vegetable drug substances should be procured fresh, as far as possible, except the substances which has to be imported from outside. It should be collected only in healthy or well developed state; free from worms, insects, or as per direction of the particle drug preparation given in Homoeopathic pharmacology. All those are in decayed state should be discarded.

They shall show no discolouration, abnormal odour, slimness or any sign of deterioration. The wild ones are preferable to cultivated ones. They should be collected when their medicinal virtue is greatest. They must not be packed too closely in carrying; and be used quickly in preparing the substance after collection, so that they may yield their full medicinal strength unchanged. Never collect them during morning dew, nor immediately after a shower, nor during too heat of the day. They should be gathered when the weather has previously been sunny and dry, and just after disappearance of the morning dew.

Cleaning of the drug materials, so collected, should be done carefully so that any part of it is not erroded. Never wash with profuse water; if become unavoidable, use only too little water for washing. Exotic drug substances should never be imported in powder form, and without proper identification of their genuineness (vide Organon of Medicine-aphorism 268).

I took this while in Morrocco on the advice of well traveled friends. I can’t say for sure that’s why I never got any type of sickness, but I was the only one in the group who didn’t. Cheap insurance and easy to take. highly recommended.

The Law of Similars

The principle that like shall be cured by like, or Similia similibus curantur. This principle, recognized by physicians and philosophers since ancient times, became the basis of Hahnemann’s formulation of the homeopathic doctrine: the proper remedy for a patient’s disease is that substance that is capable of producing, in a healthy person, symptoms similar to those from which the patient suffers.

In other words, a substance produces symptoms of illness in a well person when administered in large doses; if we administer the same substance in minute quantities, it will cure the disease in a sick person. Hahnemann suggested that this is because nature will not allow two similar diseases to exist in the body at the same time. Thus homeopaths will introduce a similar artificial disease into the body which will push the original one out. The dose is small so that there is no danger of any long term side effects.

The Principle of Minimum Dose

This principle states that extreme dilution enhances the curative properties of a substance, while eliminating any possible side effects. This is just the reverse of conventional drug philosophy where a minimum dose is required for effect. Starting from the conventional dose, as we decrease the concentration (or increase the dilution), the medicine become less and less efficient. But below a threshold, the medicine start getting potent again. Homeopaths uses this region of potency.

Whole Person Prescribing

A homeopath studies the whole person. Characteristics such as their temperament, personality, emotional and physical responses when prescribing a remedy, etc. are studied. So, a homeopath may treat different persons exhibiting the same symptom differently. (For example, two persons exhibiting flu like symptoms may get two different medication from the homeopath based on the appraisal of the mind body constitution.)

Laws of Cure

There are three laws of cure, They are:

Application of the three principles of cure means that you will feel better emotionally before you will feel better physically.

Ailments such as colds, constipation, vomiting, and diarrhea respond well to homeopathic treatment. It can help in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, fibrositis and psoriasis.
