You can be the reason for your family's health

There bond between family members is always two ways. For better or worse, when one is affected, the others are bound to be affected.

Living alone isn’t something that comes to humans naturally. Humans then started forming groups, societies and communities. One such human organization is 'the family'. Family is the fundamental unit in any community around the globe. It functions collectively, each one having a duty to fulfill and each one working in co-ordination with the other to fulfill the duties. Harmonious functioning of the entire family depends upon the healthy and harmonious functioning of each family member. This is possible if we know each other well. In order to know each other, we need to know ourselves well. We should know and be able to listen to the other song that plays within us

Illness is the result of altered state of reality, not being able to see the things as they are. Homoeopathy helps change one’s perception, shifts one’s view from an altered state of reality to seeing things as they are. When this happens, one experiences health. Each one of us has the other song playing within us. When we become aware of the other song playing within us, it is easy to deal with stress and conflicts within ourselves and also externally with people.

Homoeopathy can thus provide lasting health to all the members of a family by helping each understanding the gaps in the perception of the individual as well as the family. It is not uncommon for homoeopathic doctors to receive an entire family for treatment. The physician will thus understand the other song playing in each family member and the dynamics within the family. This gives the physician a better vantage point for treatment.

Remember that the chain is only as strong as its weakest link and each link must be as strong as the other.

There is a doctor within each one of us

At every moment in our life we come in contact with countless million germs. They are in the air we breathe, in every pore of our skin, in every fold of our intestine. Then shouldn't we be falling sick every now and then?

But in spite of all this, we rarely fall ill. Even if we do, we automatically get well most of the time.

That is because there is a force within each one of us. This is the force that coordinates our system, the force that keeps the balance between us and our surroundings. This is the energy that fights to get us well when we are sick. This is the force that repairs our damaged tissues that helps us grow and develop. This is the life force or the vital force. Disease is caused when this vital force is disturbed.

Homoeopathy stimulates the natural healing power of the body, helps to restore it to balance, treat the root cause and strengthen the immunity. It treats the individual as a whole.

All the things you thought homoeopathy couldn’t treat

Contrary to the belief, homoeopathy is capable of treating all conditions treatable by medicine with absolutely no side effects and with results proven to be long lasting. From conditions that are believed to be surgical – piles, fissures, tonsillitis and appendicitis…to women’s diseases like menstrual disorders, pain, and children’s illnesses.

It holds the pride of place in treatment of allergies and skin disorders. In acute conditions, homoeopathy is seen to act faster than other systems.

Though some illnesses like terminal cancers and advanced degenerative disorders which are not curable by any system, homoeopathy provides much relief without side effects and controls further deterioration. Also considered the best psychosomatic medicine, homoeopathy doesn’t just take care of the problem but also improves all round health.

Homoeopathy is also been successfully used in treatment of animals and is also being tried in agriculture.

The doctors at the other song clinic have been successfully treating a variety of such cases with homoeopathic medicines using the sensation method discovered by Dr. Rajan Sankaran. The sensation method becomes a bridge to the other song playing within us.

Your body is talking. Do you hear it?

What happens when you get stung by an insect?

You feel pain, develop redness and swelling on the part, which also becomes heated.
Pus may form and you may get a fever.

All this is simply, your body is defending itself: blood cells are brought to the part that is stung – to fight infection – and this produces redness, swelling and heat.

Since the nerves are stimulated, you feel pain. If there are germs, the tussle goes on and pus forms.

So a symptom is really a reaction of the body that is both important and necessary. Attempting to suppress it is often dangerous in the long term.

Homoeopathy uses symptoms to understand the disturbance created in the body.

Unlike allopathy, the disturbance is treated rather than the symptoms. The illness is driven outwards and thrown off. When the patient becomes healthy, the symptoms automatically disappear.

Homeopathy – Hope for the Hopeless

A case of Ankylosing Spondylitis

Some facts about Ankylosing Spondylitis

1. There are 1.30-1.56 million cases in Europe and 4.63-4.98 million cases in Asia.
2. It affects more men than women.
3. The illness causes swelling in the joints between the vertebrae, the joints between the base of the spine and the pelvis, the cartilage between the breast bone and ribs, hips and shoulder joints
4. It can also affect the eye and the aorta
5. CRP and ESR are the tests done to gauge the intensity of swelling. They rise when the swelling increases and fall back to normal when the swelling reduces.

Here is case of Ankylosing Spondylitis which will help us understand the illness from an indivdualistic point of view.

The patient visited Dr. Rajan Sankaran with complaints of swollen, tender and painful joints over the past two years. He was an entrepreneur running a successful business until he started suffering from this illness. Conventional medicine could not help much with the complaints. Having lost as much as 15 kgs of body weight, he described the experience as “a shock”. He wondered as to why it would happen to him. His work has come to a standstill. Eventually he had to shut down his advertising business as his work involved a lot of commitment and significant stress which was no longer able to keep up to.

As the owner and the manager of the firm, his work demanded constant generation and a flow of better ideas, meeting deadlines, handling finances and managing clients. The firm was his baby and advertising was his passion, as it helped put across the ideas creatively in order to market them. It required new ideas, creativity and a zeal to perform and deliver to the clients what they sought for, all the qualities which he was adept at, but now lacked, being disabled by the disease.

He described the feeling as being “let down by nature”, “not useful to anyone”, “let down by people”, “was not needed anymore”. In his dreams, he “couldn’t find a way out of the building, stuck”, “the next building is in ruins”. He described himself as “having all skills previously”. For him, skilled meant, “being a catalyst” in the process of skillfully delivering a product.

Considering the sensations, feelings and dreams this patient was given a suitable homoeopathic remedy following which he felt much better overall and his joint stiffness and pains reduced to a marked extent. The joints became more flexible and were not painful even in winters now. Earlier he would find difficulty in walking, but now he jogged daily. Stiffness in the neck was much better too. His sleep along with his stamina and mood improved. Steady improvement was noticed in his tests wherein ESR dropped from 130 to 30 and CRP from 80 to 8. All the allopathic medicines were tapered off and then stopped once he started feeling better. He soon resumed his work and was very happy as he was again able to perform and deliver with the high standards that he was used to.

What was wrong with this patient? What was his illness? His physical state or his mental distress due to the state?

The homoeopath, here, looks far beyond only the physical state to incorporate the physical symptoms with his experience in the suffering at all planes – physical, emotional and subconscious in his understanding of the ‘disease’ and then prescribes the medicine for the whole individual.

1. He was losing his capability to do things and was too weak to preserve it.
2. By nature, he was a very creative person, full of innovative ideas, with a zeal for performing, greatly distressed that he could not any longer perform.
3. He was not able to work in the present.
4. He was remembering the past events. He wanted things to be the same as they were before. This man was stuck in the past.

He is one of many patients who benefited from homoeopathic treatment. The benefits were not just limited to the reduction of pain due to his illness but also to his general well being, restoring him back to his former state.

Homoeopathic Treatment of Dengue Fever

What is Dengue?

3. The mosquitoes responsible for it are active only during the day time

What are the symptoms of Dengue?

2. One may also have rashes on the skin, nausea and vomiting and sometimes bleeding from nose and gums

Dengue statistics in worldwide

1. Cases across the Americas, South-East Asia and Western Pacific exceeded 1.2 million in 2008 and over 3 million in 2013

Homoeopathic treatment of dengue

This is a case of boy aged 23 years. He is under constitutional treatment for brain tumor. He is responding to belladonna where his frequency and intensity of convulsion have come down. On 29th September 2015 evening he had fever. He was called to the clinic the next day. He complains of severe weakness so much so that even climbing a few steps was difficult for him. He was very drowsy and did not wish to wake up. His fever started with chills from the teeth and then spread to the whole body. He experienced shivering with chill and was worse by cold air. The fever remained around 101. He did not wish to move and wanted to remain in bed. His appetite and thirst had reduced. He desired nothing, didn’t like water.

He did not want anyone talking loudly. There was some difference of opinion with mother and he got very upset because of the loud noise. Even if two people were talking, he couldn’t take that. He asked them to go out and talk. He came to Dr. Devang’s consulting room and said that “doctor can you please pull the curtain down because I cannot bear any form of light.” He did not want to look at anyone and he just wanted to lie down. He wished that no one should bother him.

Considering these symptoms, he was prescribed Nux Vomica 200 every four hours.

Follow up after 2 days
3rd October 2015: He was 60% better. Appetite has come back.. Body ache was persistent. Fever remained around 99 degrees Fahrenheit. But his platelets dropped from 2,25,00 to 1,89,000. This is where Dr Devang suspected that the patient had dengue fever. The parents were assured not to panic and that we could help with homoeopathy. He was asked to get a platelet count done every day. The medicine was continued 4 times a day for the next three days

4th October: He developed severe itching and red urticarial rash all over the body. The rash was worse by touch and better by cold application. He was asked to apply plain moisturizer or coconut oil. At this point he was asked to get the IgM and IgG antibodies for dengue. The IgM was strongly positive which confirmed Dr. Devang’s clinical diagnosis of dengue. His platelets further dropped to 1,79,000.he didn’t have fever and weakness and body ache was 50% better, sensitivity to noise and light 50% better. He was asked to take the medicine twice a day
5th October 2015: The patient did not have fever, appetite was normal

7th October: Dr Devang spoke to him on phone and his platelets were 2,00,000. There was no other complaints except mild weakness which remain after viral fever. The medicine was continued twice a day. He was asked to have lot of fluids.
10th October 2015: the patient was symptom free. Platelet count was 3,69,000, WBC count was 6500 and
Hemoglobin was 13.5. The patient was asked to stop medicines.

Homoeopathy - Myths N Facts

Myth: Homoeopathy is slow acting

There is a misconception that Homoeopathic medicines take a long time to cure. One of the reasons behind this misconception is that patients come to a Homeopath after they have tried other treatments for a long time. By the time they take Homoeopathy the disease is normally at an advanced stage.

To reverse the pattern of the disease it normally takes some time. People who start treating a disease with Homeopathy get faster results. It is more in the mind that it is slow acting and not in reality.

Myth: Homoeopathy is a placebo effect or faith healing

This is again another misconception that is spread around the medical fraternity. Even chronic cases are treated effectively around the world with Homoeopathy. As every patient is treated individually the medicines that treat them are also different. So, ten cases of the same ailment in ten people are treated with different medicines. The principles of Homeopathy differ from other principles, which is why there are misconceptions and bad press about Homeopathy in the medical fraternity.

Myth: Homoeopathy helps only in chronic cases, not in acute ones:

Homoeopathy works as a great alternative therapy. It does wonders in acute cases of cold-cough, fever, otitis, tonsillitis, etc wherein the exact symptoms are noted & a perfectly suited Homoeopathic medicine is prescribed.

A STEP TO PREVENT AND REVERSE DIABETES- An Initiative by ‘the other song’

HEALTH IS A STATE OF COMPLETE PHYSICAL, MENTAL AND SOCIAL WELL BEING AND NOT MERELY THE ABSENCE OF DISEASE OR INFIRMITY, with this objective in mind the world health organization was established on 7th April 1948, which is celebrated as WORLD HEALTH DAY every year with the motive to create disease awareness and educate the mass to prevent various innumerable diseases, as per the adage “PREVENTION IS ALWAYS BETTER THAN CURE”.

The theme for world health day 2016 is DIABETES - PREVENTING THE BITTER SWEETNESS OF LIFE. Diabetes, a metabolic life style disorder has become the trend setter of diseases, it has gained the status of an epidemic disease affecting more than 62 million Indian population. Awareness and prevention of this devastating disease is of utmost importance as it has its squeal if not treated correctly and effectively.

Let us all learn to help ourselves in treating and preventing diabetes. Being In the 21st century of a fast moving competitive Indian lifestyle we seldom have time for ourselves, as we are always on a move and the frown on our forehead has almost become a permanent part of our appearance. Our lifestyle does not permit us to have healthy home cooked food, but encourages us to have the easy to eat junk. We have very readily and happily accepted the western food culture but failed to practice our very own culture of exercise and yoga. Stress is one of the major contributory factors apart from sedentary life style, dietary errors, inherited genetic component and many other factors.

Educating the masses is the cornerstone of diabetes self-management, which includes appropriate knowledge about nutrition and diet, physical activity, medications, glucose monitoring and psychosocial adjustments. To educate yourself further on diabetes and know of what to eat how to eat, how to exercise and train yourself holistically for a better and a healthy diabetic free life, grab the opportunity of glancing through our upcoming newsletter ‘H’ - DIABETES, THE BITTER SWEETNESS OF LIFE. There is a wonderful HOLISTIC clinic facility also available at ‘the other song’. Here the individual is assessed holistically and is also well groomed with the latest diet plans and nutrition tips as per their individual body needs along with an appropriate exercise plan along with homoeopathic medications as and when required.

We also have a specialized diabetic clinic at ‘the other song’, where a team of doctors which includes a Senior Diabetologist, a Senior Homoeopathic Consultant, a Dietician and a Resident doctor, perform a complete holistic assessment and check-up of the individual and offer the necessary treatment and therapies required to help manage and control their diabetes holistically

One can make the best use of these wonderful opportunities that we have to offer at ‘the other song’ as “He who has health, has hope; and he who has hope, has everything!”- THOMAS CARLYLE

In near time we are coming up with a Diabetes awareness programme called “ SUGAR, SALT and FLAB” on the 19th of June 2016 from 10-12 PM. Where a senior diabetologist, homoeopathic physician and a lifestyle educator will guide us to travel the journey of life with ease. Let us travel the Healthy Journey together!

Dr. Deepak Dalal, Consulting Diabetologist
