TOP 5 EPIDEMICS THAT SHOOK THE WORLD BEFORE COVID-19 CURED THROUGH HOMEOPATHY

HOMEOPATHY HAS BEEN USED TO TREAT EPIDEMIC DISEASES SINCE THE BEGINNING OF 19TH CENTURY. SAMUEL HAHNEMANN (FATHER OF HOMEOPATHY) USED THE MEDICINE BELLADONNA TO CURE PEOPLE FROM SCARLET FEVER IN THE EARLY 19TH CENTURY. DR HAHNEMANN DISCOVERED THE PROPHYLACTIC EFFECT DURING IN OUTBREAK OF SCARLET FEVER IN 1799 WHEN THREE OF HIS FOUR CHILDREN FELL ILL. THE FOURTH CHILD WAS ALREADY TAKING BELLADONNA FOR AN AFFLICTION OF HIS FINGER JOINTS, AND SO, DR HAHNEMANN REASONED THAT SINCE THE CHILD WAS TAKING BELLADONNA, HE WAS PROTECED FROM INFECTION.

1. THE FAMOUS TYPHUS FEVER OF 1813

IN 1812 THERE WAS AN OUTBREAK OF A SEVERE TYPHUS FEVER THAT FOLLOWED THE DEVASTATION OF NAPOLEAN'S ARMY WHICH WAS GOING TO ATTACK RUSSIA. HE LEFT WITH AROUND 600,000 SOLDIERS AND ONLY 3,000 OF THEM REMAINED ALIVE AN YEAR LATER. IT IS ESTIMATED THAT AROUND 220,000 SOLDIERS DIED DUE TO EPIDEMIC TYPHUS 

IN 1813, IN HIS SECOND ATTEMPT TO CONQUER RUSSIA, NAPOLEAN RETREATED WITH HIS ARMY TO THE CITY OF LEIPZIG WHERE HE WAS SURROUNDED BY ALLIED ARMIES AND WHERE THE LARGEST BATTLE OF NATIONS OCCURRED.

INCIDENTALLY, DR SAMUEL HAHNEMANN, WAS LIVING IN LEIPZIG AND IT WAS HIM WHO TREATED 183 CASES OF TYPHUS. THE CONVENTIONAL TREATMENT SHOWED A MORTALITY RATE OF ABOUT 30%  WHILE UNDER HOMEOPATHIC TREATMENT ONLY TWO HAD LOST THEIR LIVES.

2. THE CHOLERA EPIDEMIC OF THE 1830s

IN THE YEAR 1831, THE CHOLERA FIRST SPREAD IN EUROPE, PROCEEDING FROM THE EAST, WHERE THE DELTA OF THE GANGES WAS THE SEAT OF CHOLERA. IT HAD ITS FIRST ORIGIN IN INDIA DURING 1817, FROM THERE IT SPREAD TO ARABIA IN 1821 AND REACHED RUSSIA IN 1823. FROM THERE IT SPREADS TOWARDS NORTH AND IN JULY 1831 TO ST. PETERSBURG AND IN OCTOBER TO BERLIN, VIENNA, AND HAMBURG AND LATER TO SUNDERLAND, ENGLAND. HAHNEMANN AT THIS TIME PREDICTED WHICH REMEDIES WOULD BE INDICATED TO DIFFERENT STAGES OF CHOLERA. HIS PREDICTIONS TURNED OUT TO BE TRUE AND MILLIONS OF PEOPLE BENEFITTED FROM HIS ADVISE. HOMEOPATHY CAME OUT WITH FLYING COLOURS BY DECREASING THE DEATH RATE FROM AN AVERAGE OF ABOUT 50% TO 1-2%

3. CASE OF SCARLET FEVER IN 1849

DURING THE MIDDLE PART OF THE 19TH CENTURY A MOST VIRULENT FORM OF SCARLET FEVER KNOWN AS MALIGNANT SCARLET FEVER AFFECTED MANY COMMUNITIES IN THE EASTERN PART OF AMERICA, WHERE IT BECAME THE LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH AMONG CHILDREN. IN CARLISLE, PENNSYLVANIA, THE HOMEOPATHIC PHYSICIAN ADOLPH LIPPE REPORTEDLY SEEM TO HAVE TREATED OVER 150 CASES OF SCARLET FEVER  IN 1849, WITHOUT EVEN A SINGLE DEATH RATE. WHILE UNDER CONVENTIONAL TREATMENT THE DEATH RATE WAS OVER 90%.

4. EPIDEMIC OF MALIGNANT DIPHTHERIA (BETWEEN 1859-1862)

DURING THE PERIOD BETWEEN 1859-1862, LARGE COMMUNITIES ON THE EASTERN SHORE OF THE UNITED STATES WAS AFFECTED WITH THE DEADLY EPIDEMIC OF DIPHTHERIA. THREE HOMEOPATHIC PHYSICIANS IN PHILADELPHIA REPORTEDLY HAD TREATED CLOSE TO 300 OF FULLY DEVELOPED CASES OF MALIGNANT DIPHTHERIA WITHOUT EVEN A SINGLE DEATH IN THE WINTER OF 1860, WHILE THE MORTALITY UNDER CONVENTIONAL TREATMENT WAS OVER 50 %.

5. YELLOW FEVER (1850-1878)

DURING THE 1850s, THERE WERE SEVERAL EPIDEMICS OF YELLOW FEVER IN THE SOUTHERN STATES. THE DISEASE WAS EVENTUALLY FOUND TO BE TRANSMITTED BY MOSQUITO. THE MORTALITY UNDER ALLOPATHIC TREATMENT WAS BETWEEN 15-85%. DR. HOLCOMB, A HOMEOPATHIC DOCTOR REPORTEDLY FROM NATCHEZ, TREATED YELLOW FEVER  IN 1853 AND THE MORTALITY RATE UNDER HIS TREATMENT WAS 6.43%. ANOTHER HOMEOPATHIC DOCTOR DR. DAVIS ALSO TREATED YELLOW FEVER SUCCESSFULLY WITH MORTALITY RATE OF 5.73%.IN 1878 THE MORTALITY IN NEW ORLEANS UNDER CONVENTIONAL TREATMENT WAS 50 % AND 5.6 % UNDER HOMEOPATHIC TREATMENT.

CAN HOMEOPATHY HELP IN THE PRESENT CORONA CRISIS AS WELL ???

                                                                                                     

HOMEOPATHY WORKS ON THE PRINCIPLE OF GENUS  EPIDEMICUSIN SITUATION OF EPIDEMICS/PANDEMICS. UNDER THIS PRINCIPLE THE SYMPTOMATOLOGY OF AS MANY INDIVIDUALS AFFECTED WITH COVID 19 ARE STUDIED AND A PICTURE OF THE DISEASE IS CREATED. THEN THAT MEDICINE WHICH IS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING THE SIMILAR DISEASE PRESENTATION OF COVID 19 IN HEALTHY INDIVIDUALS ARE GIVEN AS THE PROPHYLACTIC MEDICINE.

BASED ON THE SYMPTOMS OF THOSE INFECTED WITH CORONA THE MINISTRY OF AYUSH, HAS RECOMMENDED ARS ALB 30 AS PROPHYLACTIC MEDICINE AGAINST CORONA INFECTION. IT HAS RECOMMENDED THAT ARS ALB 30 COULD BE TAKEN EMPTY STOMACH DAILY FOR THREE DAYS. THE DOSAGE SHOULD BE REPEATED AFTER ONE MONTH BY FOLLOWING THE SAME SCHEDULE IN CASE THE COVID INFECTION PREVAILS IN THE COMMUNITY.

NOW WHEN WE LOOK INTO OUR PRESENT SITUATION OF COVID 19 PANDEMIC, WHICH HAS AFFECTED THE WHOLE WORLD, THE ABOVE HISTORICAL EVIDENCE SHOWS HOW HOMEOPATHY DEFINITELY HAS A STRONG PROPHYLACTIC AND THERAPEUTIC ROLE TO FIGHT AGAINST COVID-19. HOMEOPATHY CAN DEFINITELY HELP US TO DEVELOP IMMUNITY AND PREVENT THE DISEASE FROM SPREADING.
