Dear Friends and Clients,
I thought it was a good time to let you all know about patients with covid-like fever who have been cured with homeopathic remedies. I will add more recent fever cases of my patients as they occur are cured, on this thread.
The purpose is so that you feel positive about homeopathic treatment and lose the fear of getting a Covid infection, because the correct homeopathic remedy works! And when a person is ON chronic constitutional homeopathic treatment, they are even more strengthened to deal with infections.
CASE 1: Patient Mr. W, 69 years A known cardiac patient with history of Bypass Surgery many years ago, and has other minor cardiac problems for which he continues on constant cardiac medication. Always in and out of the ICU with sudden cardiac episodes. He has an impaired renal function, Creatinine always around 2.0. He has been on homeopathic constitutional treatment since 2016 and has gradually stabilized enough to continue his regular daily routine.
In the last one year he began to have recurrent episodes of gall stones with inflammation of the gall bladder causing fever and Hepatitis, as he remains unfit for surgery to remove the gall bladder. The last episode caused Pancreatitis for which he was admitted in hospital for more than a month. The pancreatic pseudocyst remained, but being unfit for surgery, nothing could be done. Finally a homeopathic remedy called IRIS reduced the cyst and pancreatic enzymes are normal now.
Unfortunately he developed high fever and acidity again last week, and symptoms suggested ARSENIC ALBUM. So he took Ars Alb 1M twice a day. He seemed to respond well, with acidity, sleep and appetite much better.
The fever spikes were reducing over a week, when suddenly his fever spiked again and he suddenly felt very weak, cold and clammy with profuse perspiration. To me these were now CAMPHOR symptoms - suspiciously looking like a Covid type fever. A local GP also suggested he take an antibiotic, to which I agreed. All laboratory investigations were done, which showed infection and some stress on the liver.
Camphor 1M twice a day helped him feel generally better and less weak, and fever spikes slowly started reducing, Last 2 days, NO FEVER and he is much better overall.
Arsenicum ALbum, followed by Camphor, as symptoms indicated, cured - AT HOME. A senior citizen, with many co-morbidities on allopathic medication, a patient medically unfit for surgery, on chronic homeopathic treatment - responded well to homeopathic management of a Covid- like fever with no complications and back to the best health status he can enjoy!
I have to thank the patient and his wife who truly believe that homeopathy can heal!
There is HOPE with HOMEOPATHY!
CASE 2: Mrs. M, 55 years Mrs M has not been on chronic homeopathic treatment. She is generally healthy. three weeks back, she developed profuse nasal discharge, sneezing and body ache. He throat was paining and she began to cough. She had a large number of people at home, including her daughter with an infant son, and her own father 90+. She was taking care of all of them, so a lot of work in this lockdown with no maids!
Now with these cold symptoms, she had to self isolate. She developed fever and was taking crocin, and home remedies to feel better. The cold and cough went away, but more than a week now and the fever refused to leave. Everyday, 100 or 101, with bodyache and she felt really tired getting out of bed.
This is when she called me. TO me this was another COVID-like fever lasting more than a week.
These symptoms suggested the remedy BRYONIA, another remedy that has been working for COVID positive patients all over the world.
Bryonia 1M , twice a day, I instructed her to call me if she was not better. She didn't need to call .. she was fine in 2 doses!
CASE 3: Mr. D, 22 years
Mr D developed fever with throat irritation, cough, nasal discharge, nose block 2 weeks ago. Very dry mouth and NO thirst. He could not bear being closed up in the house during the lockdown. Wanted to get out into the fresh air, but was obviously restricted.
He is usually thirsty, with history of recurrent sinusitis and headaches for many years, and fever, hampering work and functioning. He has been much better since he started on chronic homeopathic treatment since the last 10 months.
Pulsatilla 1m twice a day for 3 days and he was back to normal.
Interesting cases. With the second case I'm not clear on why Bryonia? Was the bodyache worse getting out of bed?
Hi Fiona, Yes better when lying in bed.. and very tired when getting out of bed. Body ache was also worse from moving around. Dry mouth and thirst too. Then she told me.. the house is full .. (including infant grandson). I asked them to come here during the lockdown so I could take care of them. I was doing so much of work. And bow for the last 10 days I haven't done anything.. just keeping myself in isolation.
Fiona, I invite you to post your Phos Covid Cases below, case no 7 or 8. Pls mention where you are located. thanks!
Case 4: Dr. M, 34 years Dr. M had been going to clinic regularly through the lockdown. He was talking all precautions.. face mask, gloves, change of clothes, etc. 2 weeks back he started having low grade fever, cold, nasal discharge greenish, sneezing, averse to drafts of air, occasional nose book and congested headache/ heavy head. He felt chilly especially after bathing. Preferred to keep warm and drink warm drinks. Lack of energy and of course a lot of anxiety.. could this be Covid?! He had been in contact with over 200 patients! We gave him ars alb 200 (he prefers 200 not 1m) every 6 hours with strict instructions to take frequent STEAM inhalations. Strict.. because I had to keep reminding reminding him to take them.. he wanted to have paracetamol instead. He was finally convinced of the benefits of STEAM inhalations when he felt so much better.. no paracetamol needed! He also took Influenzium 200 once a day, a remedy that is a preventive for flu. In 3 to 4 days of ars alb 200, 6 hourly he was 90% better .. no fever.. no cough, no body pain, just minimal.nasal discharge that was reducing.
Case 5 : Fr. G, 55 years Fr. G. was busy with lockdown service, distributing food to the poor and daily wage labourers. Active from morning to night, going all over the place. He was already on chronic homeopathic treatment. Suddenly he developed a profuse nasal discharge, like a TAP with post nasal drip also lile a TAP. Nothing else. This has been one of the hallmark early COVID symptoms. Arsenicum album 1M had NO effect. He was started SQUILLA MAR 1M, 3 times a day and Steam inhalations every 2 hours. Sincere to the core, he followed all instructions and also isolated himself completely. In about 2 to 3 days, the nasal discharge finally started reducing - but he continued his frequent inhalations and dosing as earlier. Finally he asked me, "my face complexion has improved considerably with the steam for so many days, is it ok of I reduced them?" With a laugh i told him to take it only once a day if he was still having nasal discharge otherwise he could stop. He never has any other symptoms.
Case 6: Mrs. U, 55 yrs
Here is one more Covid like case from the US. Mr.s U has been on continous homeopathic treatment for a chronic ailment for the last 1 year. She contacted me sometime end of March, for recent onset of severe pain in the ribs that was not subsiding with Tylenol.
She said: "I have fatigue and ribs hurting. Little sneezing and cough. I am feeling normal temperature, normal thirst. Mouth normal and wet. Sleep definitely disturbing."
I told her to have Bryonia 1m and report back.
"Dr Leela, I took Bryonia. I still have lot of all of my back muscles hurting. Especially when standing or sitting cross legged hurts a lot. Cough is not going away. Lot of nose running and little sneezing. Last couple of days feeling feverish however feeling cold although there is no temperature. Feels like seasonal allergy symptoms confusing with COVID
I am taking sulphur 3 times a week as well as my regular homeopathic remedies."
For me, this was definitely a Covid like flu, Many patients start their symptoms in this way.
I advised her to take EUPATOREUM PERFOLATUM 1M instead as Bryonia had not worked. She was advised to take Eupatoreum perf 1m 3 times a day along with Steam inhalations every 3 to 4 hours.
She was fine in a few days and back to normal! I didn't hear from her for the next month! So we see how a commonly indicated remedy for Covid Flu did not work, and the next remedy cured her.
Case 7: Master J, 14 years
Master J lives in Canada. He has had mild allergic bronchitis symptoms for the last 8 years or so. Sporadic episodes that are easily managed with homeopathy because he takes the remedy in time and very rarely gets into a wheezing condition. BUT, he is susceptible to chest problems, as an inherited trait.
Covid19 has put everyone with a history of chest issues like Asthma, COPD, Allergic Bronchitis, Bronchaiectesis on high alert as they are the most susceptible to respiratory viruses. Steam inhalations immediately with early symptoms, are life saving, Please remember that!
So Master J developed a fever, dry, persistent cough, nasal discharge and in a few hours began to breathe rapidly with a slight wheeze. All this in a matter of about 24 hours! His mother tried one or two remedies, but they did not help. When she could call me, she explained his symptoms. I then asked for some more specific modalities, which she had to ask him It was midnight, and he was already in a partial uncomfortable, disturbed sleep. She asked him some information and he told her, and then said, don't disturb me, I'm feeling better just lying still and quiet now.
I heard him say that, and along with the rest of the symptoms told her that he needed to have Bryonia 1m. I told her to call me back in a couple of hours if he was not better. She called and told me she was sleeping very well, though his respiratory rate seemed faster - about 30, but he was very comfortable and no wheeze or coughing. So finally, she was going to get some sleep.
Next morning (for her) and night for me - she said he slept well through the night and was much better when he woke up. No fever or body ache, and his cough was much better and much less frequent.
He needed a few more doses of Bryonia for the next few days and was back to normal!
Hi Dr Leela, so once I have taken a course of 3-days of ars alb followed by 3-days of sulphur (this was about 2-3 weeks ago), what should be the frquency of repitition from a precautionary standpoint?
Hi Bhavna,
there are two options. You could repeat the remedies in a month since the last doses.
Or else, just wait to see if you develop any cold or runny nose symptoms - then one of the remedies will be indicated.
CASE #8: Miss K, 4.5 years
Cute little Miss K., has been my patient for the last 2 years, with a history of recurrent urine infections and frequent cold and fevers requiring frequent courses of antibiotics. Once on homeopathy, she has needed antibiotics only once a year back, when she did not seem to respond well to the homeopathic remedy and began wheezing.
This episode, sometime end of March, she developed fever, felt cold, lost interest in food, and had a severe backache. Given the pandemic, she was given Arsenic Alb first, but it did not make any difference.
The backache symptom she had never had in the past. This was the FIRST time she complained that it was troubling her as it was quite severe. Also she was coughing a lot - a very dry cough, with irritation in her throat. These were typical Covid like symptoms, and everyone at home was very anxious!
The symptoms pointed to Eupatoreum Perfolatum 1M. She took about 3 doses of the remedy, when the backache completely disappeared, there was no fever, and the cough which had worsened after the 2nd dose, now disappeared as well!
Of course, the family was totally delighted with the miraculous change!
CASE #9: Ms. A, 24 years
Ms. A has been on constitutional homeopathic treatment for a tendency to allergic rhinitis, Asthmatic Bronchitis with history of childhood eczema, for the last 6 months and doing quite well.
About a week back, she had a flare up of sneezing and allergy symptoms but with fever. she was given an anti-allergic tablet which suppressed the sneezing and allergy, but she ended up feeling severely exhausted with severe body ache, she could not even get out of bed. She was sleeping all the time. She was feeling chilly, with severe backache and weak legs as well.
With a first dose of Eupatoreum Perfolatum 1m, she began to feel better, and her energy improved. She continued the remedy twice a day till she was completely OK. Another possible Covid fever cured in a few days!
