10 Myths On Diabetes

Best Homeopathy Clinic in India | aarogya Clinic

A major global health concern that diabetes has always been, its genetically transferable nature makes it a even more serious challenge to human health. What leaves the medical experts worried more is the fact that youngest patients with its symptoms are aged shockingly 8-9 years!

A disease that serious is not free from myths across the globe that misguides people. Let’s do a fact check by looking into few major ones here.

Myth #1: People with diabetes cannot eat sugar
The Facts: The Best myth you can hear out there!

The good news is that there is no absolute bar on consumption of sugar in various forms. One rule that needs to be followed is that anything always in moderation along with a disciplined insulin intake -will never lead you into trouble and you can keep enjoying all food articles like you always have been.

Myth #2: Diabetes means Insulin production in your body has stopped permanently.
The Facts: Not entirely correct.

Have you come across the terms Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes? Well when you know what exactly they mean this myth is naturally corrected. Type 1 Diabetes refers to a condition where Pancreas produces very less or no insulin at all.On the other side in type 2 the body is incapable to make use of the amount of insulin produced. Interestingly Diabetes of Type 1 moves genetically into children on the other hand Type 2 is developed in adulthood generally.

Myth #3: Diabetes affects only adults.
The Facts: Knowing the increasing cases of diabetes among children, many parents still do not take it serious.

Diabetes can strike at any age and with equal severity. This is especially true if the diabetic gene runs in your family. Uncontrolled diabetes might lead to threat to your child’s health as they grow up.

Myth #4: Diabetes Type 2 is mild
The Facts: This diabetes myth is widely repeated,but of course it is not the truth. No form of diabetes is mild. Nothing could be further from the truth. Whether your body cannot make insulin or use insulin, both conditions have equally harm on your health if it is not managed properly.

Myth #5: Diabetes mainly effect obese people
The Facts: While obesity can provoke diabetes, but it is not the main reason for diabetic.Recent studies shows that people who have diabetes running in their family history tend to develop the condition than someone who is obese. However, obesity does up the risk factor.

Myth #6: Diabetes treatment always requires insulin shots
The Facts: Among two types of diabetic ,type 1 requires insulin as the body does not make enough insulin.

People suffering from type 2 diabetic,only a limited people require insulin. The rest can be managed by oral medication, a healthy diet, and an active lifestyle.

Myth #7: Carbohydrates are bad for diabetics
The Facts: Carbohydrates are needed for energy.

People with diabetic require some amount of carbs;they have to monitor the kind of carbs they consume.Having healthy carbs like- brown rice, oats, potato, vegetables, and legumes is good. Avoid bread, cakes,biscuits and similarly processed foods.

Myth #8: Women with diabetes cannot conceive
The Facts: While this was correct in earlier times now it is no more a problem.

With advance and modern medicine,women with diabetes both type 1 and type 2 can successfully conceive and give a birth to a healthy baby. All that is required is regular check-ups and a control on blood sugar levels.

Myth #9: Diabetes causes sexual dysfunction
The Facts: Diabetes does not cause sexual dysfunction.

However, uncontrolled diabetes can affect your sexual health and fertility leading to lowered libido and lowered chances of conceiving. As far as diabetic is under controlled by medicines and proper diet,you can lead a normal and happy life.
Myth #10: People with diabetes cannot get tattoos done
The Facts: People with controlled diabetic can get tattoos done.

Having diabetes doesn’t mean you can’t have a tattoo, but before deciding to get it done you must ensure that it is under control.

High blood sugar levels can complicate the healing process and increase the risk of infection.

Things You Want To Ask About Your Kidney From The Doctor

Homeopathic Treatment for Kidney Stone in Vellore, India | aarogya Clinic

All your questions will be answered by Dr.VR Sudhakar BHMS, MD.(Acu) from aarogya Clinic, Vellore, India

What are Kidney Stones?
Kidney stones are formed by a build-up of dissolved minerals and salts on the lining of our kidneys. The stones are usually small and pass unnoticed in the urine. However, when the build-up is excessive, it may get blocked inside the kidneys and cause severe pain.

Can the stones damage the Kidneys?
Kidney stones can cause some damage if there is serious or chronic infection. The kidneys can be damaged if the blockage persists for a longer time. In rare cases, if left untreated, the stones can cause the kidneys to stop functioning altogether.

How can I manage my kidney stones with other health conditions like diabetes or heart trouble?
If your cardiologist has recommended dietary changes, they often also prevent the formation of kidney stones. A balanced diet of fresh fruits, vegetables, and which is low in salt and animal proteins prevent a build-up apart from helping with diabetes and weight management. If you already have kidney stones with these conditions, consult your health care provider for the best advice.

What if I repeatedly suffer from kidney stones?
Kidney stones may from again even if you’ve undergone and operation for the same condition earlier. However, the right diet and medical treatment can make you less susceptible to repeat build-ups of kidney stones.

Do I have to follow up with my doctor during the treatment?
Absolutely. Your health care specialist will ask you for urine and blood tests to see if the test results have improved. The doctor will check whether there are any side effects from the medications. If you develop kidney stones repeatedly, the doctor will have to keep you monitored with regular and x-rays and urine tests to ensure that they don’t build up again. The doctor will also ask for follow up visits to make sure the prescribed diet changes and medicines are working.

Are kidney stones hereditary?
Most kidney stones patients have a family member who also had them. Some of the conditions that lead to the formation of the stones are inherited. Thus, there is a chance your children may also develop the condition. However, this is not a given. Still, kidney stones mainly form because of our family diet. Since family member tend to have similar lifestyle habits, it can also lead to the condition among family members.

I go to the bathroom frequently. Is it a sign that my kidneys are failing?
Not necessarily. Going to the bathroom often can also be bladder-related condition rather than a kidney problem. The urine flows from the kidneys through the ureter, which empties into the bladder. If the bladder fills faster than normal, you will feel the urge to urinate.
People with kidney disease pass urine that have lots of water, but not many waste products. This means that the waste products are passing into the bloodstream, including potassium.

Can homeopathy cure kidney stones?
Homeopathy has some very effective natural regimes for treating kidney stones. These remedies not only contain the pain and discomfort, they dissolve the stones in the kidney, and the waste is passed out with urine.

The aarogya Clinic has used Homeopathic Treatment for Kidney Stone to cure many patients suffering from kidney stones. We have also been successful in the treatment of repeat occurrences.

Can Homeopathy Treat Kidney Disease ?

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)

Chronic kidney disease is a condition wherein lasting damage has been to the kidneys, and the harmful effects are expected to get worse. Severe damage can also cause the kidneys to stop functioning altogether. This is called end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or kidney failure. Patients with failed kidneys have to live on dialysis or undergo a kidney transplant.

March has been nominated National Kidney Month, with March 12 being recognized as World Kidney Day in a global campaign to raise awareness about the role that our kidneys play in our physiologies and overall health. The campaign aims to reduce the frequency, severity, and impact of kidney disease and the health problems associated with it worldwide.

Causes of Chronic Kidney Disease

While anyone can suffer from CKD, some people are more vulnerable to it than others. Some of the risk factors are:

Hypertension
High blood pressure
Renal artery stenosis
Prostate diseases
Existing kidney illnesses like glomercular nephritis, renal calculi, polycystic kidney disease, urinary tract infections, and renal calculi, etc.

Symptoms of Kidney Disease

The following are some of the conditions, which may mean that your kidneys may be damaged:

Itching
Nausea and vomiting
Muscle cramps
Swelling in the feet or ankles
Loss of appetite
Trouble catching your breath
Too much urine or less urine
Trouble sleeping

The following conditions could be symptoms of acute kidney failure, where kidneys stop functioning normally:

Back pain
Abdominal pain
Fever
Diarrhea
Nosebleed
Vomiting
Rashes

Existence of one or more of these conditions may represent serious kidney problems and a doctor should be consulted immediately.

Dietary Recommendations for Chronic Kidney Disease

Treatment for CKD starts with simple dietary changes and lifestyle alterations. Avoid food with added salt and lower the consumption of food items that contain sodium. These are convenience food products like fast food, frozen dinners and canned soups. Foods with added salt include salty snacks, canned vegetables, cheese and processed meat.

Your doctor or dietician may also recommend lesser consumption of foods that contain potassium like bananas, potatoes, tomatoes, oranges, and spinach. These food items can be substituted for apples, carrots, cabbage, grapes, blueberries and green beans all of which have low potassium levels. It is worth noting that may salt substitutes also contain potassium, so you need to be careful, or the kidney failure can get worse.

Failed kidney patients should limit the amount of protein in their meals. A dietician can determine the exact amount of protein your food should have and make appropriate dietary recommendations. The following food items may have to be avoided at all costs: lean meats, milk, eggs, cheese, and beans. A healthy low-protein diet consists of vegetables, fruits, bread, and cereals.

Treatment for Chronic Kidney Disease

A cure for chronic kidney disease does not exist at present. However, treatment and proper medications can halt or slow the progression of the disease and prevent associated conditions from developing.

Patients with CKD are known to be at increased of heart trouble, including a heart attack. This is because of the changes that occur in blood circulation. In a minority of cases, CKD actually causes kidney failure, also known as end-stage kidney failure or Established Renal Failure (ERF). As noted above, the kidneys stop working and the patient has to undergo a kidney transplant or live on dialysis.

Dialysis is a procedure that artificially removes extra fluids and waste products from the blood stream, which is normally done by the kidneys. Sometimes, dialysis is also given to patients at an advanced stage of the disease. Dialysis brings down creatinine levels, maintains the levels of electrolytes and blood proteins and removes wastage. However, dialysis can be painful and may lead to infection in the cavity, which can become life threatening.

Treatment of Complications caused by CKD

Complications caused by chronic kidney disease need different treatment procedures like the following:

Blood pressure control with ICE inhibitors
Calcium and vitamin D supplements to strengthen the bones
Control of blood cholesterol levels
Iron and Erythropoietin supplements for anemia

Homeopathy Treatment for CKD

Homeopathy cannot cure chronic kidney disease. However, homeopathic remedies can halt progression of the disease with medications at the dispositional or physiological level. This means that we first understand the patient and examine the factors that could have directly and indirectly lead to the disease according to the personality of the patient. Then we prescribe medicines that target these factors. This causes the patient’s own kidney to stimulate its functions. We cannot reverse the damage but can keep creatinine levels low and remove the patient from dialysis without worsening disease conditions.

Homeopathy Treatment for Kidney Disease in Vellore, India | aarogya clinic can effectively repair the kidney damage in patients with early-stage renal failure when damage to the tissues of the kidney is minimal. In such cases, we can take the kidneys back to their normal functioning.

In cases of renal failure caused by diabetes or hypertension, if the structure of the kidney is normally preserved, homeopathy can be of enormous help in blood sugar and blood pressure levels. The medicines also help maintain the levels of other substances in blood like electrolytes and blood urea nitrogen. This goes a long way in improving the general health of the patient and his or her quality of life.

Say No To Gallbladder Surgery

Best Homeopathy Treatment for Gallstones in Vellore, India | aarogya Clinic

As we talk about this I remembered an elderly patient of mine, probably aged around 75 when we met. She has been experiencing severe but irregular pain, just above the liver due to the formation of cysts that too in both liver and bile ducts. Interestingly due to those stones she had her gallbladder removed when she was around 40 years of age .But later unable to bare those symptoms that barely came down and the frequently returning pain after the surgery she had visited me. That too post gallbladder surgery her liver cysts continued developing and even the stones in the bile duct reappeared.

You may have heard about how any blockages in Bile duct can put added pressure on the ducts thereby leading to swollen tubes and ultimately leading to increased sized liver cysts. The exact thing occurred in her too and she ended up gaining excess weight as her gallbladder was already removed.

I did feel this is going to be a kind of a tough nut to crack the whole case, since the surgeons were helpless in her case to do anything more than this.

I began by examining her medical history just like most of us do and to my surprise dehydration had played a major role in this whole thing including her having red liver palms. A yellowish dry complexion visible in the eyes and skin and white layer on the tongue clearly evident. Majorly cooked food, hardly any fruits and raw food and vegetables that took over cooked –losing in on all the nutrients by the time she consumed them. Vitamin C deficiency too appeared due to lack of fruits in her diet. This is what I found post examination.

Upon discussion she revealed why this carefree approach that too when her Gallbladder is removed. She mentioned it was because her surgeon had assured she can now on have any food since there is no more question of Gallbladder!! Very incorrect statement!! In fact she was a classic example to quote to people to convey the need to take good care of their liver and bile ducts especially when their gallbladder is removed.

Purely because she was not guided in the right direction for the proper care after surgery, it ended up into years of painful suffering. The good news is now she is totally aware and knows her care options and that means the bile ducts will receive the best care they should have all these years and move away from suffering.

Why Choose Homeopathy For Thyroid

Homeopathy For Thyroid disorders In India

The Thyroid is a small pear-shaped gland that is located right below the neck. It produces hormones like Triiodothyronine (T3) and Thyroxine (T4) which helps regulate the metabolism of the body. It also helps keep the body weight in control, regulates the level of energy, controls mood swings.

It was a myth when it was thought that only older women can have thyroid but now almost 30–35% of the women of a young age might suffer from thyroid.

Symptoms

Some of the major symptoms of thyroid are mentioned below:

Too sensitive towards cold
Pain in joints
Gaining weight
Feeling Dizziness
Losing memory
Loss of Hair
Constant Constipation
Not able to conceive

Causes

It is extremely important to know all the causes of the thyroid so that the causes can be avoided. The basic cause is Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, i.e., an auto-immune condition in which the body starts creating its own anti-bodies that starts destroying the parts of the thyroid glands. The other causes are pituitary, hypothalamus and iodine deficiency problems.

Form of Hypothyroidism

Hypothyroidism is a condition where the thyroid glands fail to produce sufficient amount of thyroid hormones. Iodine deficiency can lead to hypothyroidism since the body uses iodine to make thyroid hormones.

Thyroid Symptoms | Homeopathy For Thyroid Disorders In India

Form of Hyperthyroidism

As it has been mentioned above that the major reason behind thyroid is that it starts creating its own anti-bodies that start damaging the thyroid gland and thus it becomes a problem for the thyroid gland.

The other form is known as toxic nodular goiter in which the abnormal nodules present in the tissue keeps on producing the hormones even when they are not required to do so.

When the pituitary gland starts making too much TSH, this may lead to constant stimulation of the thyroid gland. It might lead the TSH levels to rise and the gland may become insensitive to the thyroid hormones.

Why choose Homeopathy treatment for Thyroid?

Why Choose Homeopathy For Thyroid | Homeopathy For Thyroid Disorders In India

The doctors might tell you that the best way to get rid of the thyroid is either taking medicines all lifelong or surgery. But there is another way too and that is Homeopathy. It is a permanent solution to get relief from the pain permanently without giving you any pain.

The homeopathy treats the thyroid gland in such a way that the functioning of the thyroid glands gets better and it should be able to produce the hormones on its own, without any help of medications or surgery.

Homeopathy does understand that there can be major reasons behind thyroid and thus it focuses on treating thyroid naturally without taking any help of medicines. The remedies have been designed in such a way that they would help in stimulating the secretions of the thyroid.

It would be helpful in boosting energy, improving circulation and thus help in balancing the hypo and hyperthyroid symptoms and functions. It would be helpful in improving the coordination of thyroid with other functions of the body. It also helps in ensuring good health for the thyroid gland and for the whole body in general.

8 Essential Facts About Your Gallbladder

Homeopathy Clinic For Gallbaldder In Vellore, India| aarogya clinic

Liver has the function of making bile to help in the digestion process. The gallbladder plays the role of storing the bile until it actually needed in the body.

The gallbladder is just placed right below the liver’s right lobe and has a shape that of as a pear. When it gets filled with optimum amount of bile to digest the food, the organ grows as long about 8-10 cm and about 4 cm.

This organ is very less considered unless you have had a prior gallbladder surgery or gallstone problems. Most of the time the organ functions properly fine. However, if you find any serious pains or any other problems, then you may have to get it removed.

Below are some essential facts about gallstone.

1. Gallbladder serves as a storage pouch

“The gallbladder holds the dark colored green bile which is produced by the liver and uses when it is needed,” says Dr. V R Sudhakar BHMs, MD, a Consultant homeo Physician and Acupuncturist at Best Homeopathy Clinic For Gallbaldder-aarogya clinic. “Gallbladder concentrates the bile in the right form to be later used for better digestion. After we eat something, the bile is squeezed out and from the common bile duct it flows into the initial part of the small intestine known as the duodenum”.

While the liver has the ability of producing up to 500 to 1000 ml of bile per day, the gallbladder has the capacity of concentrating the bile up to tenfold and can store 30 to 50 ml of denser bile.

2. Gallstones are formed mostly from hardened cholesterol.

Gallstones are formed when either of the two substances cholesterol or bilirubin gets supersaturated in the bile to crystallize (something similar to sugar crystallizing while making rock candy). Bilirubin, a brownish yellow substance, is formed when the old red blood cells in the liver break down and the bile is mostly consisting of it. Bilirubin is mostly eliminated from the body through the bowels and that explains the colour of the feces. The probability for gallstones arising due to bilirubin is far less compared to those formed from hardened cholesterol. The cholesterol gallstones are common for those people who are suffering from blood disorders, such as sickle cell anemia.

3. A low-cholesterol and low-fat diet is best for a healthy gallbladder.

If you are wondering what should be the diet to maintain a healthy gallbladder? Then the answer is a low cholesterol diet. Since most gallbladder stones are formed due to cholesterols eating a diet low in cholesterol and fat will be the best solution to having a healthy gallbladder.

Diet For Healthy Gallbladder | Homeopathy Clinic For Gallbaldder

4. A diet good for your heart is good for your gallbladder, too.

A “gallbladder-healthy “diet would be the one that easily pass as heart healthy diet. These would include those foods made of mono-saturated fats such as the ones found in the oils extracted from nuts, avocados, seeds, olives, peanut butter etc. Similarly, polyunsaturated fats, those found in walnuts, flaxseeds, vegetable oils, and fatty fish, should also be a part of your diet. You can avoid the risk of gallstones by avoiding food items that can raise the cholesterol levels.

Another factor which is as important as what you consume is how frequently it is eaten. “Having a heavy meal once in the day increases the likelihood of stones as the bile is sitting in the gallbladder for a prolonged period of time prior to its excretion,” states Dr V R Sudhakar. The longer time that bile stays in the stomach results in increased time for the cholesterol in the bile to supersaturate and crystallize to form gallstones.

5. Rapid weight loss could cause gallstones.

Apart from a healthy diet, one should maintain a healthy weight to keep the gallbladder functioning well. People who are obese have higher risks for gallstones. But don’t get the idea that you go on a crash diet to lose weight. A sudden weight loss can also increase the likelihood of stones. So you can lose your weight but don’t try to lose it all at once.

One other way to keep gallstones at bay is keep your cholesterol level under control. “You can maintain the constant level by taking statins in case you have high cholesterol,” informs Dr V R Sudhakar. Other methods are by having regular intakes of vitamin C supplements as they are proven remedy to prevent gallstones and by drinking coffee. It is seen that coffee provides protection and prevents the gallstones arising from cholesterol.

6. Close to 12 percent of the population have gallstones, but only a few cause problems.

Along with people with obesity and those who have an inappropriate or high-fat diet or with high cholesterol levels, pregnant women are another section of people who are more likely to get gallstones. Therefore, they have to pay more attention while consuming fatty foods during pregnancy period. Similarly, those people having certain blood disorders like the sickle cell anemia meet with higher risk of gallstones formed due to bilirubin.

If there is a history of people having gallstones in your family, then the risk of having stones are doubled up. Further, some medicines like oral contraceptives increase the risk of gallstones. However, this risk is relatively low and one should not prevent from taking these medications if required due to the fear of gallstones.

Studies have found out that nearly 12 percent of the population gets gallstones, but a very low minority suffers problems due to those.

7. The most common sign of gallstones is intense pain.

Though a huge population has gallstones, up to 80 percent will never face any symptoms due to those gallstones. In case there is some problem, you will normally get to know about it. The pain would get intense then. “The pain is described as something sharp, stabbing and quite excruciating which can be 10 on a scale of 1 to 10”. The pain is usually felt intensely after consuming a fatty meal as fat is one of the strongest trigger for the gallbladder to empty up.

The gallbladder is located below your breastbone which then extends to your back. The pain could last for several hours and sometimes is accompanied with nausea.

There could be different kinds of pain. Another could be a dull ache on the right side, like an upset stomach or heartburn with bloating.

8. The best test for gallstone is an ultrasound.

The best way to diagnose gallstones is an ultrasound. It is a safe yet quick method to get all the information regarding the gallbladder like its size, shape. Further, it is an accurate way. The ultrasound technology allows finding the gallstones as well the gallbladder irritation like a thickened wall or fluid around the gallbladder.

HIDA (hepatobiliary) scan is a scan done to some patients in which a chemical substance is injected into the arm of the patient and the technology aids in watching what happens inside as it enters the gallbladder. These tests are rarely carried out that too on patients who have other underlying conditions or those who have no stones found out through ultrasound but suffer from gallbladder pain symptoms.

Homeopathy In Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) OR Chronic Renal Failure (CRF)

When the ability of the kidney to function slowly decreases for several years, it is called chronic kidney failure. The final stage of the disease permanently kidney failure occurs (kidney failure).

[Originally published: http://theaarogyaclinic.com/blog/homeopathy-in-chronic-kidney-disease-ckd/]

CKF (chronic kidney failure) is also known as chronic renal disease, chronic renal failure or chronic kidney failure. When the renal functioning capacity starts to slow down and the condition starts deteriorating, then the amount of waste and liquid produced in our body increases to the level of danger.

The aim of this chronic kidney disease treatment is to prevent or slow down the disease – this is usually done by controlling its main cause. Chronic kidney disease is more elaborate than people think. Until this disease spreads well in the body, nothing is known about this disease or its symptoms. When the kidney works 75 percent less than its capacity, then people are able to feel that they have kidney disease.

Types

Based on the site (location) of primary damage, Chronic renal failure can be classified in:

Pre-renal CRF
Post-renal CRF(Obstructive Uropathy)Renal CRF

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Causes

What causes CKD? The kidneys complete the complex system of filtration in our bodies. They work by excluding excess waste and fluids from the blood and excreted from the body. Each kidney has about 1 million micro-filtering units, called nephrons. Any disease that causes damage to the nephron can also lead to kidney disease. Both diabetes and high blood pressure are diseases that can cause damage to the nephron. (Mostly, kidney disease is due to diabetes and high blood pressure.)

In most cases, the kidneys help excrete most of the waste produced in our body. However, if the blood flow to the kidneys is affected, they do not work well. The reason for this is any damage or disease. If urinary excretion is interrupted, problems may occur.

In most cases, a chronic disease results in CKD, such as:

Diabetes – Kidney failure has been linked to diabetes types 1 and 2. If the patient’s diabetes is not controlled properly, excessive amounts of sugar (glucose) may accumulate in the blood. Kidney disease is not common in the first 10 years of diabetes. The disease usually occurs 15–25 years after the diagnosis of diabetes.
Hypertension – High blood pressure can damage the glomeruli parts found in the kidneys. Glomeruli help in filtering the waste materials present in the body.
Obstructed urine flow – if the urine flow is stopped, it accumulates from the bladder (vesicoureteral reflux- vesicoureteral reflux ) back to the kidney. The flow of blocked urine increases the pressure on the kidneys and reduces its efficiency.
Other kidney diseases – including polycystic (polycystic) kidney disease, pyelonephritis ( Pyelonephritis ) or Glomerulonefraitis ( Glomerulonephritis ) are included.
Kidney artery stenosis – The renal artery becomes finite or stops before entering the kidney.
Some toxic materials – these include fuels, solvents (such as carbon tetrachloride), lead (lead and paints, pipes, and soldering materials). Even some types of jewelry contain toxins, which can cause kidney failure.
Problems related to fetal development – If the kidneys developing in the womb do not develop properly.
Systemic lupus erythematosus – This is an autoimmune disease. In this, the body’s own immune system severely affects the kidneys as if they are any external tissue.
Malaria and yellow fever – responsible for obstructing kidney function.
Certain medications – Ansaaidis (NSAIDs) for example, such as – aspirin ( Aspirin excessive use) or ibuprofen (ibuprofen).
Injury – a sharp blow or injury to the kidneys.

ROLE OF HOMOEOPATHY in Cure of CKD or CRF

The kidney has a generalized function – the fluids it contains and affects every organ, tissue, and cell in our body. Kidney function affects the entire vital economy of our body.

State failure of fear, anxiety and acute renal failure Depression and mental discomfort of chronic renal failure.

The condition of the patient with end-stage renal failure or progressive reversible chronic kidney disease is very pathetic not only for the patient but for the whole family and society. Personalized homeopathic therapeutic modalities are very important in view of the patient’s psychological presentation. Homeopathy works wonders here and prevents the progression of hemodialysis and renal transplant in large numbers.

The usual presentation of C.R.F. in Homeopathic hospital includes:

1. Patients with renal insufficiency only:

This is the best field of work for us but unfortunately, the number of cases being presented at this level is very less. Individual homeopathic treatment works wonders here and prevents a large number of cases from going through the phase of dialysis or renal transplant. Normal symptomatic presentation at this stage is mostly unclear with patients complaining of nausea, anorexia, and progressive weakness. Laboratory kidney parameters are also not too seriously disturbed. The development of personal totality consisting of mental fields, habits, past and family history requires a lot of patience and labor but the results are amazing.

2. Patients with chronic renal failure pending hemodialysis and renal transplant:

It is a group of cases with maximum presentations in clinics. Most of these cases come as a last resort for homeopathic rescue because they cannot undergo prolonged dialysis and transplantation. Other small groups of patients want to know the benefits of homeopathic treatment over dialysis and if homeopathic treatment is done with hemodialysis? Clinical decisions are individualized and vary from patient to patient. Remember that the correlation of urinary symptoms with kidney functions varies from patient to patient.

3. Patients already on long-term hemodialysis, pending renal transplant:

A great role is played here by Homeopathy. Research experiments in various hospitals reveal the following facts: (a) The number of dialyzes required in a period of time in induced homeopathic treatments has been reduced. (B) Complications that are associated with chronic dialysis therapy can be reduced and overcome using homeopathic remedies. Remember the complications of dialysis and its homeopathic management. A patient suffering from chronic dialysis relies on a machine for his life. Different types of psychiatric, neurologic and somatic disorders develop in these patients. Dialysis dementia, a neurological disorder, is a typical example. In the mental field, these patients become very depressed, their low physical ability makes them depressed and depressed.

Infections in the anatomic area, thrombosis, and aneurysm are formed in arteriovenous fistulas. There is a high incidence of septic embolization in these cases. Heparin is required to prevent clotting during hemodialysis procedures, which can lead to complications such as subdural hematoma and intracerebral bleeding.

4. Post renal transplant patients:

After the renal transplant, the group of patients coming for homeopathic is very limited. The results are not that encouraging as homeopaths have very little experience with these patients. The majority of the symptoms here are marked and deformed by immune-suppressive therapy. All immune responses are suppressed by Immuno-suppressive therapy and therefore homeopathic treatment does not play any major role in organ rejection of transplant cases.
