STILLS'S DISEASE AND HOMOEOPATHY

   STILLS DISEASE/ ADULT ONSET STILLS DISEASE(AOSD) Stills disease is a rare multi-systemic autoimmune inflammatory disorder which is involves typical characteristic symptom triad of 1) HIGH SPIKING FEVER 2) JOINT PAINS 3) SALMON PINK COLORED RASHES. The disease was named in honour of an English paediatrician named   Sir George Fredric Still, who also also described Still’s murmur/vibratory murmur(a commom benign heart sound). The adult version of Still’s disease, that is also known as Adult onset stills disease/AOSD, was later on characterized by a British Physician, Eric George Bywaters in 1971. The disease like IBS(Irritable Bowel Syndrome), is usually a diagnosis of exclusion.   PATHOPHYIOLOGY OF STILL’S DISEASE   The exact cause which leads to the production of this rare condition is not known clearly. However, the basic mechanism in the onset of the disease is same as with other systemic inflammatory disorders like SLE/Sytemic Lupus Er...

PCD/PRIMARY CILIARY DYSKINESIA AND KARTEGENER’S SYNDROME.                 PCD/Kartegener’s syndrome is a rare genetic disorder, which is characterized by defects or complete loss of ciliary action which is covering the entire respiratory tract thereby causing defective mucosal clearance.                 Cilia are small hair like structures, which are located in the respiratory tract(upper and lower), sinuses, Eustachian tube of the ear, miaddle ear and flagellas of sperms. These cilia function as a protective structures, trapping invading particles, to enter the respirtatory tract. Moreover, their chief function is swaying movement, which generate currents thereby helping in transport or expulsion of mucous towards the throat in case or respiratory tract and ear. In case of sperm cells and fallopian tube, they help in t...

In today’s article I want to address a very common and frequent question which comes to the mind of students as well as patients. WHY DOES HOMOEOPATHY REQUIRE DETAILED INFORMATION IN TREATING A DISEASE? The most basic answer is due to its innate principle of holism. i.e viewing and treating   the man as a whole entity and not the disease alone. But still, the question remains the same. Well, in today’s world disease is viewed as a mere local phenomenon, which is caused due to some dysfunction in the body, leading to a specific group of symptoms. Though this seems true there is also something beyond and deeper than this superficial view. This belief on diseases is rather like a tip of the iceberg. We can see only the tip. However the actual body of the iceberg is invisible though, present. And we have also witnessed the tragedy that struck the mighty Titanic which was caused by ignoring the root though the tip was visible. The same is also true with diseases. The actu...

MIASMS IN HOMOEOPATHY INTRODUCTION Miasms   in homoeopathy are considered as the most vital part in understanding diseases as well as a vital key to a successful prescription. These are considered as the most fundamental aspects of a diseases specially of a chronic character   as they represent a manifestation of an internal derangement. SO WHAT DO THEY MEAN In simple sense they are a predisposition to a particular disease inherited or acquire. THE THEORY IN ACTUAL According to the theory of miasms it is said that behind a given case of disease specially of a chronic character their lies a particular cause which dries the disease to expand itself beyond the body innate efficient immune response and resisting it thereby rendering it to continue actively life long and giving it a chronic character. It also represent they way of body’s response to a given state of disease. Which is manifested   in three basic ways. 1.       ...
