Whooping cough (pertussis) in Children

Image
- Benson.A.R, Whooping cough Whooping cough is an infectious disease, characterized by spasmodic attacks of coughing. During these coughing attacks the forcible drawing in of the breath causes a crowing noise, known as the "whoop." Before the whoop is present there is usually a period extending from two or three days to a week when the cough is hard, dry and irritating. It is a sort, sharp cough, coming very frequently, and is usually worse at night than in the day time. It resembles very closely the cough in acute bronchitis, but if the lungs are examined the lesions of bronchitis are not found. After a longer or shorter period the true spasmodic character of the cough becomes noticeable. The child may cough for five or ten minutes at a time, with frequent whooping, and usually the cough ends is vomiting of thick, stringy mucus. During these spasmodic attacks, the child becomes blue or purple in the face, rushes for the nurse's skirts or some article of furniture ...

General diseases in Children

Image
-Benson.A.R, General diseases in Children Colds Colds may be due to exposure, to indiscretion in diet or to infection. Usually one or the other of these causes is combined with fatigue and consequent lowered resistive power. For example, the child after some unusual exercise, perhaps after playing too hard, is exposed to a draught which ordinarily would not be noticed. The result is a cold. The same thing occurs when a tired or weakened child is exposed to the infection of some other individual who has a contagious cold. The reason why some children take cold more easily than others is because they lack the vitality which is necessary to overcome disease. Considering these causes, it will be evident that colds are more or less preventable, and the question resolves itself into maintaining a high standard of health in the individual child. This can only be accomplished by careful attention to all the details of diet, exercise, bathing and general hygiene. Children who are subject ...

Mangement of Bad habits in Children

Image
- Benson.A.R Bad Habits in children Thumb Sucking : Sucking the thumb, fingers or fist in young babies is frequently a sign of hunger. Older children, however, sometimes acquire the habit, especially at the age of teething. The habit is an injurious one because if practiced for any length of time, it causes deformities of the upper jaw and mouth breathing. Many adults who are made conspicuous by prominent front teeth can trace the trouble to thumb sucking in infancy. The habit may be corrected by repeatedly removing the fingers from the mouth when the child sucks them, until finally the idea of what is wanted becomes fixed in the child's mind. It is often wise to sew across the sleeve of the night garment below the hand, or the hollow aluminum balls which are made to go over the hands may be used.* In extreme cases it may be necessary to bandage pasteboard splints over the inner surface of the child's elbows so that it cannot bend the arms. Similar to this habit are the...

Management of Accidents in Children

Image
- Benson.A.R Accidents in chidren Foreign Bodies : Foreign bodies sometimes become lodged in the nose. In such cases it is sometimes possible to dislodge them by closing one nostril and having the child make an effort to blow the foreign body out. If this cannot be done and the object is not within easy reach, no attempt should be made to remove it by unskilled hands. Serious harm may be done to the sensitive mucous membrane, and even with proper instruments it is not always easy to remove a foreign body without doing harm. Ear : When such bodies become lodged in the ear, or, as sometimes happens, insects fly into the ear, an attempt may be made to remove them by allowing a few drops of warm sweet oil to pass into the ear. It is not wise to put water into the ear, as such articles as peas, beans, etc., swell when wet and cause great pain and difficulty in removing them. Eye : Particles of dust in the eye may be removed if careful search is made for them in a light. They are most ...

ANIMATED HUMAN BODY - AUTO REGULATION DURING HEALTH AND DISEASE

Image
Dr.Devendra Kumar Munta MD (Homeo) ANIMATED HUMAN BODY It is my observation perhaps most people. Human body I mean living body is an automated machine. Not only Human body, livings beings all, their body acts on its own, you can ask me what does it mean 'act'. When it react with surroundings. As I am a physician my observations are around health and disease. When I say living body, must be able to differentiate it from body or  just body or dead body. Living body is something deterrent from dead body. Living body is animated one. There are so many automated functions incorporated in living body. This animation works during health as well as during disease. Healthy body respirates itself automatic. Kidney filtration, thought process, heart function, all physiological functions works on its own automatic. Immune mechanisms are automatic. When it sick the living body in differentiates itself to repair. I ask you expert...

A PROPOSAL FOR A NATURAL LAW RECOGNITION - LAW OF THERAPEUTIC NEUROMODULATION

Andrés Amado Zuno Arce Associate Professor Universidad Candegabe de Homeopatía. Buenos Aires, Argentina This document supports the findings I made in my research “ An Endeavor to Illustrate an Objective Evidence for the Action of Homeopathic Medicines by Measuring Physiological Variability in Human Body Temperature ”  BACKGROUND Abstract — ( This is not a technical paper but a basic scientific one) Brain, an organ like a computer, is the manager of the body. It means that organs, tissues and cells are under its control and also it means that these parts of the body do not handle what happens to them. If the brain is functioning properly, we have health; and if it works wrongly a disease will show. Acting on the brain by neuromodulation means, can cure. This is what acupuncture does; this is an informatics system, and it is bio, bioinformatics, because it is alive, and in this paper I present tenths of proves of it. Also, because of this it is about time to recognize and est...

HOW TO SELECT SIMILAR HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINE USING OUR NEW METHOD OF PHYSIOLOGICAL VARIABILITY AND HOMEOPATHY

Image
-Dr.Devendra Kumar Munta MD (Homeo) Here I would like to give you an example. A patient called Subrahmanyam came to my clinic with deep depression being a part of family. Symptoms expressed at physical level. Anxiety, pain in chest. on examination Echo revealed Mitral valve prolapse. Indigestion. Pain here and there all over trunk. On measuring physiological variability in temperature compared  readings with previous provings . Below figure illustrate How similar the patient graph to remedy graph. Remedy Selection From the above graph it is evident that Patient graph has co-relation with NATRUM MURIATICUM Prover. Also observe the graph, Arsenicum provers are related each other. pulsatilla, silicea occupied side by side place. Natrum mur provers are related.
