METHEDOLOGY:

APPROACH-

[A] CONTAMINATED DRUG DEPENDENT CASES: CASES WITHOUT CLARITY OF SYMPTOMS

  1. In drug dependent hypertensive cases, when the patient is anti-hypertensive drugs, the artificial chronic disease is superimposed on the original natural disease, therefore symptoms are contaminated or suppressed and the patient cannot give a clear picture for a constitutional medicine. Therefore, the following medicines can be selected on the basis of few available symptoms, e.g., Adrenalin; Allium Sativa; Crataegus Oxy.; Ergotin; Lycopus Vir.; Polygonum Avi.; Rauwolfia Serpentina; Spartium Scop.; Stropanthus; Sumbul, etc. Accordingly the conventional allopathic anti-hypertensive drug is gradually withdrawn and after approximately 50% weaning off of the conventional medicine, suppressed symptoms surface and now the patient can give much clearer symptoms. This will lead to making a change in the plan of treatment and on the basis of `MTEK' a constitutional prescription can now be made.

    So here the prescription can be made on the basis of few available symptoms (according to §173--§178, Ref.Organon of Medicine) and gradually the conventional anti-hypertensive drug is withdrawn [Subrata asks the patient to sip the homoeopathic medicine prescribed on the basis of few available symptoms in those drug-dependant hypertensive cases, therefore considering the partial symptomatic similarity in accordance with §173--§178. So patient monitors the blood pressure and takes the homoeopathic medicine and tries to defer the conventional medicine as much as s/he can. In this way, a anti-hypertensive drug dependent patient who used to take anti-hypertensive drug 12 hourly; can, with the help of homoeopathic medicine now defer the conventional chemicals to 24 hourly, then 48 hourly and so on. In this way the conventional medication etc is gradually weaned off]     .

    In the same way, similar example for Drug Dependent Migraine cases where the following medicines (Acetanilidum, Anagyris, Bromium, Chionanthus Virginica, Epiphegus, Ferrum Pyro-Phosphoricum, Indium, Iris Versicolor, Kalmia Latifolia, Lac Defloratum, Melilotus, Menispernum, Menynanthes, Oleum Animale, Onosmodium, Saponin, Usnea Barbata, Yucca Filamentosa. Accordingly the conventional allopathic pain killer is gradually withdrawn.
     

  2. Generally experience shows after approximately 50% weaning off of the conventional medicine, suppressed symptoms surface and now the patient can give much clearer modalities. This will lead to making a change in the plan of treatment and on the basis of `MTEK' a constitutional prescription can now be made. Through this approach, not only does the patient gain immediate confidence that homoeopathy works, but can also wean off the conventional medication to certain extent.

    Therefore in this way the conventional medicine is gradually  weaned-off and I give full control in the hand of the patient (as the patient is also aware of the side effects of the chemicals of the conventional medicine and wants to wean-off them). Giving the "weaning off power" in the hand of the patient, makes him/her feel that s/he is taking control of what s/he is taking and therefore patients will power of weaning-off the conventional medicine work as well towards raising of patient's energy level. I do not advice exactly how much to wean-off because that should be guided by the allopathic practitioner (in England:G.P). But as I give the control in the hand of the patient, therefore, get a disclaimer
