What did Michael Jackson do for his vitiligo ? He definitely did not try homeopathy-the one sure treatment for vitiligo. Strange, how this gap in knowledge affect even the greatest celebraties...
Vitiligo is the depigmentation of skin due to which the difference in skin color can be easily spotted. It has tremendous social implications as it involves areas that are always exposed-eyes, nose, face,hands etc.In India it was heavily stigmatized even 20yrs back when I got my first case of vitiligo.
Why does it happen ? There are cells in our skin that gives color to the skin-called melanocytes. In vitiligo they either die or loose their function.This happens because of reasons like-viral-virus directly killing them.Or autoimmune response-our own body cells kill them(by mistake or wrongly) during stress or reasons in which our immune response is affected. Or these are hidden genes responsible for them dying. Suffice to say things go wrong and our melanocytes become defunct and we get vitiligo.
Why homeopathy is the best for vitiligo ?
Because,
1)Look closely to the causes-viral, autoimmune, genetic-look like deep rooted causes which needs to be addressed properly. Its a laugh-these creams and lotions that are advertised. If they had worked we would probably not have Michael Jackson with it.If its caused by a gene -how will external cream help? I mean really help ?
2)Homeopathy is known to give good results in autoimmune disorders-like RA(rheumatoid arthritis) ,UC(ulcerative colitis),Psoriasis--since it addresses at a deeper level.
How ? Homeopathy treats the person not the disease.So after studying the person we get to the root of the problem as to why has the autoimmunity gone hay ware ? Why have the genes become dominant ? Or why have the virus affected in such a way. Medicines are given so that function of melanocytes is put back on track. The dead melanocytes cannot become alive but the nearby cells can be optimized so that enough colour is produced to make the skin appear normal.
Yes its a long process and swift results are possible if person takes homoepathy the moment the lesion appears-which are generally small. Though large patches also respond but the time taken is more and people often give-up midway.
Most homeopaths will boast about treating vitiligo when there is nothing to talk home about.Its all in a days work for homeopaths-albeit an experienced one.
Would like to impress upon people that in a way vitiligo is pretty much harmless and even untreated is not dangerous.However it has social implications and hence it has gained prominence.
Go for homeopathy for this without any doubts at all !

How you gain more from homeopathic management of your blood pressure ?
Its World Health Day today and the focus is on hypertension or high blood pressure. We are all familiar with raised blood pressure as we have seen our parents or grandparents taking pills for BP. Currently there has been such a surge of raised blood pressure among the young that its a little worrying. The life-style and stress -both at home and office is taking its toll. We have raised pressure in below 30yrs and heart attacks by 35yrs. Why is the focus of WHO(world health organisation) on blood pressure ?
The allopathic medicine is well versed in BP-has a range of medicines, big pharmas are into it, people know about it , still not very expensive and works fairly well -so why should anybody think of homeopathy at all.?
Here is how you gain more and better from homeopathy-
1) All said and done BP is a chronic problem and hence medication is long. Homeopathy is safe and without any side-effects. Many times problems arise more from the side effects of the medication in allopathy than BP itself.
2) Homeopathy can effectively prevent dialysis which is a complication of prolonged BP.Dialysis is expensive and painful and reduces the quality of life greatly
3) Many times one sees that only during stress the BP rises and after the crises comes down on its own.In such cases the allopathic medicines obstruct smooth functioning of the body.
4)Homeopathy has good medicines to prevent paralysis/stroke in long standing cases of BP.
5)Homeopaths help in counseling which helps to bring down BP
Better medicines are those that help our own body's mechanism to heal itself.It preserves our body and only minimum medicines should be used to put our body back in action. These are in alignment with the laws of nature and there is no suppression.
More important is how and which medicines we use are also going to determine and design our genes which we are going to pass-on to our children.If that is so should not we be more careful and concerned about our medication ? what would you say ?

5 reasons why you should have a Homeopathic Kit
I remember when we were on holidays in this exotic place,serene,quiet which boasted of one fish eatery. My son ate the fish here and promptly went into loose-motions and almost collapsed.I went and checked my kit which had the medicine I needed--and by evening he was fine!
The idea of a homeopathic kit is designed to address the small emergencies that can be dealt with before the doctor arrives. Frequent use of kits empowers the user to have an efficient tool with him to deal with his health problems.In clinics we give designer kits so that the medicines which have worked for the patient and his family members are included.The different types of kits work for different problems which the user/patient is susceptible to.Like I made a designer kit for someone in which I included a medicine for burping or one for an old lady who had vertigo.General kits will have the common problems-acidity,constipation,headache,cold, sinus etc.Kids kit will have cold,cough,fever, dentitional medicines.There are first-aid kits, child kits, piles kits, womens kits etc
First-aid Kits are rather more popular since they come handy for travel, adventure,camping and kids.Another advantage is that since they have been used earlier the result is guaranteed which cannot be said of allopathic medicines as they are available in different brands in different countries.It includes this wonderful Calendula which surgeons use to treat surgery cuts--it heals heavenly and promotes so much of granulation tissue that its a must in cuts and wounds.Medicines to treat your aches and pains, sprains, swellings due to falls, burns, insect bites,allergic rashes.

Womens kits are mainly for their menstrual complaints, pregnancies and delivery and complaints like vomitting etc.
Kits for senior citizens are for aches and pains, joint complaints and frequent urinations and prostrate complaints-it gives them dignity.
Always Safe: No matter in which place you are you have some medicine to deal with small problems that may come.Makes you feel safe and equipped at night, on trains or flights.
Complete Care: Kits for piles have creams included to take complete care of your problem.
Cost-Effective:There is no need to spend time at the waiting rooms to meet doctor for small reasons or problems.Kit goes a long way to solve this problem.
Frequent Use: Can be used safely for some single problem repeatedly without side-effects and over a long period of time.
Psychological Support: Its often the satisfaction of taking something for our problem that gives us immense satisfaction and relief.The power of this cannot be emphasised more.
It is known that queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles dont go anywhere without their homeopathic Kit !

Best Gift For Your Parents-Good Joints !
Prevalence of joint pain is cause of concern in many countries.In India alone there are 56% of elderly suffering from OA(osteoarthritis or age-related arthritis) and between 17-60 % of all people.In the USA a whopping 36% of all people suffer from chronic joint pain and Japan has 70% people with joint pains.
The concern is because it causes chronic pain which is draining and tiresome state to be in.Anything robbing you of your movement should get due attention-because MOVEMENT IS LIFE.
Let me see -now the most common joint problems are RA-rhuematoid arthritis, OA- osteoarthritis, gout and others.Others may include all-infective or septic, psoriatic knee etc which though common are not that frequently encountered.
Ideally speaking for all these-RA,OA and gout homeopathy is a better option.
RA-rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder means there is a failure in recognizing self (and hence an immune response gets generated against self) and generation of response or fight.Normally this does not happen -these responses occur under perceived threat or enemy within our body.So there are no organisms involved.Hence allopathy options are limited.Homeopathy triggers the bodies own healing powers to correct these responses.Mostly affects the young people and forms deformities which homeopathy can prevent.Cases completely bed-ridden due to RA have recovered. Another aspect is the hold-on-to negative feelings that are often encountered in these patients which homeopaths address.
Gout is the affections of joints due to elevated levels of uric-acid levels.Besides diet etc we need to change the mode of the body.Why is the kidney not able to excrete uric-acid ? Many reasons contribute
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gout
Hence a multi-dimentional activity is recommended for gout
http://www.arthritisresearchuk.org/arthritis-information/conditions/gout/research-and-new-developments.aspx
With all this we can only say that at best its an unsatisfactory method of treatment.
Homeopathy gives pain relief and wholistically treats it. Known to give lesser episodes and treat more deeply.Or at least provide palliative relief safely as there are no side effects and can be taken over a long period of time.
The best to respond is OA-osteoarthritis-aging joint pain.Its a degenerative joint problem where the changes in the joints are due to aging and are not reversible.Here nothing helps better than homeopathy -the pain is gone and your old man is ready to walk and hop.The treatment may be short(4-6wk) and he can be on maintainance dose which do him good.The joints do not deteriorate -which they would-and can remain good for few years and more if you are regular with homeopathy. www.homeopathy4all.com
Small thing to do to keep them mobile wont you say ?

How your skin rash will respond better with homeopathy.
The hectic pace of life today gives no time to attend to the small things that keep happening in our life.The rash that appeared the other day just before the meeting.and went away all by itself.It would have even missed being noticed had it not been for the meeting.
Skin is the one of the most abused organ I feel.Because anything on the skin has to immediately go away-seems very frustrating when it does not.India being a social place we are always meeting some-one or other,people are quick to notice and quicker to comment and advice.....blah blah.So we desperately need some cream to apply and the skin to look normal.Most of my patients don't realize that they are applying steroid creams.Nobody asks nobody tells.The problem with them is they are good-very good.The skin problem vanishes just as they wished it.How good it would have been had it remained so.But it does not and hence we are at the cream again, and again.By the time it soon grows into a problem and the cream does not remain so good either.
Homeopaths want skin cases to come early to them so that we can give faster results and patient finds it comfortable to continue our medicines.Oh but we almost never get them. Homeopathy will address the complaint at different levels including the family tendency to skin complaints etc.Many times stress is an important part in skin complaints like lichen planus and we go into the details of the stress and try to resolve them in way that is possible for the patient.
An irritated skin in a child can also be a reflection of family disharmony which has to be re-aligned.In many cases I have seen the discord between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law aggravating the skin complaints in child.
Excessive itching of the skin represents suppressed hostilities and feelings.In suppressed societies one cannot openly express the feelings getting generated and hence gets expressed on skin.In all such cases the itching will be disproportionate to the complaint.Like I had a child who would get severe itching at all night and would keep the mother awake-now hardly any skin complaint does that.It means that child wants mothers attention..
In a majority of cases homeopath will not give any creams or ointments unless expressively asked for because he believes them to be useless.Homeopaths will take a detailed case and work out all the factors and try to set things right.Then he would start constitutional medicines for healing it from within.Many times when the case comes in aggravated state there are medicines given for INSTANT relief along with the other.Now there is a sort of race between the disease and the medicines and only when the medicines win the case effects will start to be seen.No new spots or no increase in skin complaint is a fair response in the initial part of treatment.
Once it happens the relief is good and does not come back.Patient feels a sense of wellness and so other complaint develops.People often tell me that doctor I got rid of eczema but now I have bronchitis-this is not happy news.It is deterioration of illness from skin to bronchus.
Homeopaths are concerned about overall health, give them time ,give them faith so that they can help you better.
Do you have a skin query you want to ask ?

Treat Depression With Homeopathy Only
Mental illnesses and allergies dominate the health issues in this 21st century.Every 1 in 20 in USA is suffering from depression in a survey done in 2006.In India recently there was a lot of controversy about WHO declaring a 36% depression prevalence.Suffice to say we need to look at this and more so because(in India) a large percent(80%) of people do not seek medical help.
Depression in general is the low mood or down mood feel.Feelings of worthlessness, low self esteem, guilt, which last for long time can be said to be depression--say 2-3 weeks or more.Usually these are transient feeling states that come and go and can be considered normal-after a break-up,loss of near and dear ones,loss of job etc.Person picks himself up and gets going again. However many of us are not able to and continue being in this state.When this is along with reduced activity like not going out, not sleeping and not interacting with others it could be bordering on depression.Sometimes there is an obsessive element to it-like one of my patients could talk about her stools for 15minutes or there would be undue urgency /anxiety about small things.As this prolongs the body begins to respond to a sick mind with aches and pains with no pathological diagnosis.
An evaluation is required to find out the other diseases-related causes like Lyme disease, Addisons, thyroid.When these are treated depression gets treated as well and problem is solved. When no other cause is found patient is put on anti-depressants. Now its all a problem especially if no added councelling is given and there is long-term use of anti-depressants.The problems are
1)No study of the long term side-effects of these anti-depressants have been done.(imagine how we need to have to study so many depressed people on anti-depressants..)-so this could be potentially dangerous.
2) With the chemicals all in your blood you never know where you stand or how you actually are without the anti-depressants.
http://chriskresser.com/the-dark-side-of-antidepressants
For me this mode of treatment seems very superficial and in general going no-where.Let alone the side-effects what do these medicines actually do? They create an artificial ambience in blood that sort of elevates your mood.They help no doubt more so in extreme cases as it prevents suicides etc but for how long--till the next pill is popped.And what about trying to correct the feeling of worthlessness ? The reasons why the person goes into this state is not addressed and hence he can go back into it.
Many times we are not doing any value addition in life and our self worth gets eroded.I call it house-wife-at-40 syndrome.The problem is not being a house-wife but being a house-wife and NOT liking house-work.Sure recipe for disaster.So we need to create pathways wherein the self-worth is increased.Or the lurking guilt-ex had this patient who was guilty of leaving his Father behind while he went abroad.He had to be told that how could he take his father when he refused?-thats life -it would actually be wrong to take him away when he did not want to.Both are right in their own ways..
Depression has more to do with how you think and how much you can cope (and taught to)with adversity,set backs.As homeopaths we look into all this and guide.The main issues are the understanding of self-person does not know that he is feeling worthless and what can be done.As a homeopath I also face difficulty in treating patients who are on anti-depressants as we never know how serious the problem is as anti-depressants mask all symtoms and person looks ok when he is NOT.
Our medicines do a wonderful job but clinical understanding is important and the homeopath has to be vigilant in treating such cases.There should be gradual reduction of anti-depressants after our medicines have contributed significantly to the case and there is improvement in the reasons that got him into it in the first place.
If not treated at all borderline depression is not a problem at all but homeopathic consulting and treatment is required so that it does not happen again.Depression is notorious for recurrence and these recurrences then will have genetic effect which we then call family tendency.We can help stop this...

Should You Be On Asthmatic Inhalers ?
Somehow I have always felt that using asthmatic inhalers is a compromised life.Its like you need to have it with you where-ever you go and in which-ever mood you are.Imagine a funfilled evening with friends and you go out for dinner and life is so good and suddenly someone near smokes and you get discomfort and realize that you have not taken your inhaler for the day. What a dampener ! Or your kid goes for picnic and forgets to take it..Sometimes the solution to the problem is more a pain than the problem.
Asthmatics feel that this is such a problem that it does not go away.The inhalers have to be used often for many years. On a continous basis. Over a period of time the content of the inhalers change from simple dilators to steroid based.The person is at mercy of every allergen possible and looks vulnerable when in spams.I would prefer fever, surgery any day.At least its over. Asthma has a nagging feel, ready to pop up every time and takes away lifes good moments..
Yet, its not like cancer and hence you dont have peoples sympathy as such unless you are in acute state.
You have to be careful of food no prawns, coloured items,weather-not too cold, or rainy.Not too stressed or emotional no exams no diwali crackers no holi colours.
After all thos there still the severe episode where you need tp be hospitalised because nothing seems to work. Inspite of the inhalers.
Asthma is a problem because it has triggers at various levels and often those types over which we have little control.There are body-triggers like food, mind and emotional triggers like stress, and uncontrolable triggers like weather.It is the heightened sensitivity at the level of mind and body.And a strange obstinacy in nature.Its a deadly mix.Like many get an episode with cold-drinks and most of them will love to have cold-drinks and will continue to have it.
Wholistic treatment is given by homeopathy.It improves the immunity so that the effect of allergens decraese.There is recognition of the stress situation and resolving them so that patient can cope better with them.Constitutional medicines help them to deal with weather changes and overall health status.The acute episodes decrease and my patient has never been hospitalised. Still at times it seems that it is lurking ready to pop up....
