This document from Similiacare.net discusses homeopathic approaches to chronic diseases. It divides chronic diseases into those with fully developed symptoms and few symptoms. Chronic diseases can be miasmatic or non-miasmatic, and miasmatic chronic diseases include psora, sycosis, syphilis, and combinations of these three miasmas. Localized one-sided diseases, pseudo chronic diseases, drug diseases, and occupational diseases are also mentioned.

this presentation may fit the requirement of every homeopath.
Hahnemann proposed the law of homeopathy in 1796: “Like Cures Like,” or in Latin, “Similia Similibus Curantur.” Homoeopathy is based on inductive method of reasoning.
Concept of homoeopathic materia medicasarojsawant2
Materia Medica is a Latin medical term
for the body of collected knowledge
about the therapeutic properties of
any substance(drug) used for healing with their sources, preparations, doses and use.
This document discusses symptomatology in homeopathy. It defines symptoms as any changes perceived by the patient, others, or physician that indicate disease. Symptoms can be subjective, reported by the patient, or objective, observed by others. The document outlines various classifications of symptoms including general vs particular symptoms, mental vs physical generals, and common vs uncommon symptoms. It also discusses the importance and elements of symptoms in homeopathic case analysis and prescribing.
Acute diseases can be individual, sporadic, or epidemic. Individual diseases attack one person and are transient explosions of latent psora brought on by factors like improper diet, physical stressors like chilling or overheating, or mental emotions. Sporadic diseases affect several people in an area due to meteoric or telluric influences. Epidemic diseases result from the same cause infecting many people at once, often due to large-scale calamities like war or famine.
Case processing in homeopathy involves analyzing the case, evaluating symptoms, determining the totality of symptoms, performing a miasmatic analysis, and making a homeopathic diagnosis. Analyzing the case involves classifying symptoms as common or uncommon and categorizing them. Evaluating symptoms determines each symptom's significance by ranking different types of symptoms in order of priority. The totality of symptoms reflects the outward picture of the internal essence of the disease based on deviations from the healthy state. It involves considering changes in disposition, mind, physical constitution, and the full symptom picture. Proper case analysis and evaluation are essential for accurately capturing the totality of symptoms and selecting the simillimum remedy.
The document discusses miasms, which are chronic disease tendencies according to homeopathic theory. It describes the three main miasms - psora, sycosis, and syphilis. Psora is associated with need, sycosis with deception, and syphilis with destruction. The deepest and most pathological miasm is syphilis, while psora is more superficial. Understanding a patient's miasm is important for properly analyzing the case, arriving at the correct remedy, dosages, and prognosis. The document emphasizes finding syphilitic symptoms in particular when treating chronic diseases.

Plussing method of remedy administrationBipin Jethani
The document discusses the plussing method of homeopathic remedy administration. It involves dissolving globules in 11 teaspoons of water, having the patient sip one teaspoon at a time over 10 doses while stirring between each dose, and re-administering the remaining water mixed with 10 more teaspoons of fresh water for 7 days. This method has its roots in Hahnemann's instructions and modifications for administering remedies in liquid form at slightly changing potencies to avoid aggravating symptoms. The plussing method is said to minimize aggravations while ensuring a more powerful effect of the remedy.
Susceptibility, potency selection and repetition of dose in homoeopathyDr Ananthakrishnan V A
Susceptibility, potency selection and repetition are important factors in homeopathic treatment. Susceptibility refers to an organism's reaction to stimuli and determines the appropriate potency. Higher susceptibility indicates a higher potency is needed, while lower susceptibility calls for a lower potency. Factors like age, sex, habits, constitution and disease nature/depth influence susceptibility. Repetition of doses depends on the patient's progress, disease nature and remedy characteristics. Acute diseases require more frequent repetition than chronic diseases. Lower potencies are repeated more often than higher potencies.
The document discusses several important source books of Materia Medica in homeopathy. It describes 7 seminal works:
1) Fragmenta de Viribus Medicamentorum Positivis (1763) by Hahnemann, containing symptoms of 27 remedies.
2) Reine Arzneimittellehre (1811-1833) by Hahnemann in 6 volumes describing drug effects.
3) Die Chronischen Krankheiten (1828-1839) by Hahnemann observing remedies on sick people.
4) Encyclopedia of Pure Materia Medica (1874) by T.F. Allen describing 1039 remedies over 12
The document discusses the concept of susceptibility in homeopathy. It provides definitions from homeopathic scholars on susceptibility as the body's ability to receive impressions and react to stimuli. Susceptibility plays a role in health and disease and determines how the body will respond to remedies. There are different types of susceptibility including natural, morbid, and artificial susceptibility induced by medicines. Factors like constitution, age, habits modify one's susceptibility. Homeopathy aims to restore normal susceptibility through similar remedies to cure diseases.
Meaning of Mind Rubrics in Kent Repertory Dr Ankita Bali
This document provides definitions and explanations for 86 mental state rubrics from Kent's Repertory. It aims to help students and practitioners properly understand the meanings assigned to different rubrics. Some key rubrics explained include abandoned, abrupt, absent minded, absurd, abusive, acute, admiration, admonition, afraid, agitation, aloof, ambitious, anger, anguish, anticipation and anxious. The document provides concise yet detailed explanations to clarify the subtle differences between related rubrics.
Importance of observation in homoeopathyBipin Jethani
1) The document discusses the importance of observation in homoeopathic prescribing as exemplified through various case reports from stalwarts like Hahnemann, Boenninghausen, Kent and others.
2) Key observations that helped identify the similimum in different cases include facial features, location of lesions, characteristic eruptions, concomitant symptoms and peculiar general symptoms.
3) Astute observation of even single peculiar symptoms coupled with knowledge of materia medica can often point to the indicated remedy, though a cluster of observations is preferable over a single symptom.
BOGER BOENINGHAUSENS CHARACTERISTICS AND REPERTORYSalini Mandal
This document provides biographical information about Dr. C.M. Boger and an overview of his contributions to homeopathic literature. It notes that Boger was a leading homeopathic physician in the US in the early 20th century who translated and condensed Boenninghausen's works. Boger's publication systematized Boenninghausen's approach into a single volume that included 140 remedy profiles and a repertory. It outlines the structure and features of Boger's publication, including its focus on totality of symptoms, pathological generals, causation/time, and distinctive approach to fever cases.
This document provides information on the homeopathic remedy Thuja Occidentalis. It lists clinical applications such as headaches, convulsions, and urinary ailments. Mental symptoms are described such as feeling controlled by supernatural forces. Physical modalities are outlined including aggravation from dampness and amelioration from warmth. Guiding symptoms involve warts, vaccination reactions, and left-sided complaints. The remedy is said to correspond to a sluggish, lymphatic constitution.
This document provides information about potentization in homeopathy. It begins with definitions of potentization from various homeopathic authorities and explains that it is a mathematico-mechanical process of diluting substances to increase their therapeutic power. The history of potentization dating back to Hahnemann is overviewed. The objectives and effects of potentization are described. The processes of trituration and succussion used to create potentized preparations are defined and their mechanics explained. The scales used to represent potency levels in homeopathy are introduced.
This document discusses miasms according to Dr. Hahnemann and Dr. Rajan Sankaran. It defines miasms as disease-causing agents that produce specific pathological tendencies. The three main miasms are Psora, Sycosis, and Syphilis. Psora relates to inflammation and growth, Sycosis to overgrowth and accumulation, and Syphilis to decay and destruction. The document provides details on the characteristics of each miasm in terms of their effects on the mind, skin, and other areas. It also discusses acute, half-spiritual, and accessory miasms, and views miasms from a cellular and genetic perspective according to Dr. Praful
This document discusses key aspects of the Homeopathic Materia Medica. It notes that the Homeopathic Materia Medica is constructed differently than other systems of medicine by recording the effects of remedies on healthy human subjects. It provides extensive details on symptoms gathered from drug provings on humans. This allows for a holistic understanding of the totality of a person's experience of symptoms. The Materia Medica also covers accurate relationship between remedies and miasms. It provides a large database of verified remedies and symptoms to allow homeopaths to find the best simillimum for patients.
This document discusses 75 rubrics from Kent's Repertory and provides explanations for their meanings and applications. It aims to help students and practitioners properly understand and interpret rubrics to select the simillimum remedy. While rubrics can be ambiguous, continuous study and experience with Materia Medica is needed to correctly apply them in clinical practice. The rubrics cover symptoms relating to the mind, generalities, different body systems and organs.

This document discusses the proper procedure for examining patients and recording case histories in homeopathy. It emphasizes allowing patients to describe their symptoms freely without interruption, using the patient's own language, and not leading or biasing the patient. Symptoms should be arranged clearly with dates and in a way that allows easy reference later. Circumstances like occupation, lifestyle, and environment can provide important context for symptoms. The examiner must be careful not to confuse the case history with their own preconceptions or the effects of previous incorrect prescriptions.
Dr. Hahnemann published his Materia Medica Pura in three editions from 1811-1833, documenting the proving of medicines. The first edition included 61 remedies, the second edition 64 remedies, and the third edition also included 64 remedies. R.E. Dudgeon's translation is considered the most reliable, compiling the work into two volumes with an alphabetical arrangement. The third edition arranged all symptoms continuously with numbering and indications of when symptoms occurred. Materia Medica Pura documented Hahnemann's important work developing homeopathic provings and remedies.

International Classification of Diseases (ICD) with Mind Mapping automationJosé M. Guerrero
The International Classification of Diseases (ICD) is the standard tool for classifying diseases and health problems on medical records and death certificates. ICD-10 was endorsed in 1990 and implemented in WHO member states in 1994. The document describes how mind mapping automation can be used to generate mind maps from ICD-10 XML input to help classify and organize diseases.
ICD-10 is an unknown terrain that the country is going toward. No one knows what to expect. Some expect productivity to decrease by as much as 50% due to its implementation. Some predict this new system will result in a shortage of coders. Is any of this true? This presentation will investigate the impacts – both foreseen and unforeseen – that ICD-10 implementation will have on radiology billing companies and radiology groups.
The document discusses the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), which is the standard tool for classifying diseases and health conditions. It enables the collection and analysis of mortality and morbidity data worldwide. The ICD groups diseases into blocks based on affected body system or type of condition. It has been improved over time based on scientific approaches to disease classification. Countries now use the ICD for tasks like reimbursement decisions, resource allocation, and compiling health statistics.
The document discusses the concept of suppression in homeopathy and how it can occur when the correct simillimum is not found or the cardinal principles are not followed strictly. Suppression occurs when the disease is weakened in one area but ends up strengthening in another, more important system. This happens through the 7 layers of suppression which track the progression of disease from skin to nervous system based on embryological development. Identifying and understanding the layers of suppression is important for homeopaths to avoid suppressive treatments and ensure cure by following Hering's law of cure.
This document summarizes a pilot study on the effectiveness of homeopathic treatment for alcoholism. The study aimed to test individualized homeopathic treatment, repertorization software, classify alcoholism miasmatically, identify effective medicines, and provide treatment without patient consent. 74 male patients of varying socioeconomic statuses and ages were treated. Nux vomica 1M twice daily proved most effective, relieving 67.56% of cases. The study concluded homeopathy can effectively treat alcoholism without patient consent, with a 67.56% success rate using Nux vomica 1M.
This study examined the homoeopathic management of Chikungunya fever and related complaints in 532 patients of all ages and socioeconomic backgrounds in several towns in Kottayam district, India from June 1 to July 1, 2007. The largest group of patients were between 40-60 years old, making up 39% of cases. The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of homoeopathic treatments for Chikungunya fever and associated symptoms.

For each remedy, it lists conditions it can be used as a drug, medicine, or remedy to treat. It also provides examples of trustworthy uses of each remedy based on the author's experience.
The document discusses acute diseases and their treatment in homeopathy. It defines acute diseases as those that are rapid in onset, intense in symptoms, and short to moderate in duration, ending in recovery or death. It classifies acute diseases and discusses how their development and progression is influenced by miasms. It emphasizes that acute diseases are manifestations of chronic miasms. It provides guidelines for prescribing in acute cases, focusing on activity, thermals, thirst, and mentals rather than just physical symptoms, and following the principles of single remedy, minimum dose.
The document provides guidance on case evaluation and analysis to select the most appropriate homeopathic remedy. It discusses the 7 steps to reach the remedy which include case taking, finding the essential totality, sectarian totalities for disease/patient/person, decision on what to treat, selecting the best remedy, potency selection, and withstanding temptations. It also provides tips for effective repertorization and determining miasmatic constitutions to reach the genetic constitutional remedy.
Homoeopathy is presented as the fore runner of modern science by applying principles at the microscopic level. It works based on the concepts of vital force, levels of action, and electropositivity and negativity to cure diseases. Key homoeopathic concepts discussed include drug provings, drug dynamisation, and the principle of similia similibus curentur. The document differentiates the homoeopathic and allopathic approaches and states that modern medicine works at the root/atomic level, like homoeopathy. It provides examples of common homoeopathic remedies.
The document discusses various aspects of miasms and their application in homeopathic practice. It begins by describing the three main miasms - psora, sycosis, and syphilis. It then discusses identifying features, common disorders, desires, aggravations/aversions, perspiration, sleep patterns, and other generals for each miasm. It emphasizes using a three-layered and 18-layered compendium approach to categorize symptoms and interpret rubrics based on the six main miasms: psora, sycosis, syphilis, sycotic, tubercular, and cancer. The document provides guidance on interpreting mental symptoms and applying a 42-rubric
This document discusses the laws and principles of homeopathic posology, which is the study of dosage in homeopathy. It covers the evolution of concepts of minimum dose from Hahnemann's early use of large doses to infinitesimal doses. Guidelines from different homeopaths on potency and dose selection are provided. The preparation, application and repetition of infinitesimal doses are examined. Factors affecting susceptibility and guidelines for potency and dose selection are outlined.
The document discusses the three main miasms - psora, sycosis, and syphilis. Psora is associated with the color blue and features like mousy hair, small closed ears, and long neck. It can cause allergies, dry eruptions, and functional disorders. Sycosis is associated with the color yellow and features like proliferation everywhere and a moon-shaped face. It can cause proliferative diseases and viral diseases. Syphilis is associated with the color red and features like a dumbbell-shaped face and frontal baldness. It can cause destructive disorders, ulcers, degenerations, and autoimmune diseases.
The document discusses miasmatic repertorization in homeopathy, emphasizing the importance of determining the underlying miasm (psora, sycosis, syphilis, tuberculosis) in order to select the most appropriate rubrics and remedy. It provides examples of rubrics and characteristics that indicate each miasm, such as reserved behavior indicating syphilis or loquacity indicating sycosis. Pathological presentations are also discussed as pointers towards the underlying miasm. The goal is to approach cases from a miasmatic perspective to achieve deeper and longer lasting healing.

low birth weight presentation. Low birth weight (LBW) infant is defined as the one whose birth weight is less than 2500g irrespective of their gestational age. Premature birth and low birth weight(LBW) is still a serious problem in newborn. Causing high morbidity and mortality rate worldwide. The nursing care provide to low birth weight babies is crucial in promoting their overall health and development. Through careful assessment, diagnosis,, planning, and evaluation plays a vital role in ensuring these vulnerable infants receive the specialize care they need. In India every third of the infant weight less than 2500g.
Birth period, socioeconomical status, nutritional and intrauterine environment are the factors influencing low birth weight
Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapyDr. Sumit KUMAR
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.
