TIPS FROM THE MASTERS…

 As a preventive of Diphtheria, MERC CYANATUS ranks high, perhaps equaling, if not exceeding; DIPHTHERINUM when given in the 30x, or C C potencies.  Hering quotes from Allef. Hom Zgt-vol – 88: page 92 thus: “If the remedy is given in the stage of invasion, i.e. before exudation is deposited it will not appear at all; as a prophylactic, it is equally effective.  Paralysis and other diseases have not been observed after the use of this drug.  Several Physicians have never seen any results from it because they give the 2^nd and 3^rd triturition or dilution, which is much too strong, or rather, not sufficiently developed.”  I have had the opportunity of confirming the above, both curatively as a preventive.

Dr. A Pulford, M.D.

 Bad effects of Diphtheria Antitoxin – these also remove the germs from the throat of carriers DIPHTHERINUM, MERC.CYANATUS.

Calcutta Hom. Med. College Mag.

Introduction:

Zero balancing therapy is a powerful body mind therapy that uses skilled touch to address the relationship between energy and the structures of the body. It was developed by Fritz Smith, MD in the early 1970s.  The therapy typically lasts for 30 to 45 minutes, the practitioner uses finger pressure and gentle traction on areas of tension in the bones, joints and soft tissue to create fulcrums, or points of balance, around which the body can relax and reorganize.

 Zero Balancing focuses primarily on key joints of our skeleton that conduct and balance forces of gravity, posture and movement.  Zero Balancing helps to clear blocks in the body’s energy flow, amplify vitality and contribute to better postural alignment. A Zero Balancing session leaves you with a wonderful feeling of inner harmony and organization.

Benefits of Zero Balancing therapy:

Zero Balancing can help relieve body aches and pain, release restrictions in movement, and provide lasting relief from emotional distress to improve overall quality of life.  It is very useful for certain cases of chronic back pain. It also improves concentration and sleep by releasing unwanted stress, eliminating old behavior patterns, or boosting a sense of well-being. Zero Balancing works in conjunction with medical therapy and is not a substitute for it.

Zero Balancing helps to free the flow of energy in the musculoskeletal system to help relieve stress and boost your body’s natural energy.  Zero Balancing helps open stuck areas in the body’s natural shock absorbers: the tarsal bones in the arches of the feet, the joints where the ribs meet the spine, the neck, the hips and the sacrum. Once these areas are free, the pain is released and it enhances stability, balance and freedom

Zero Balancing helps to create a wonderful feeling of inner and outer balance, alignment and organization. When blocks are cleared and balanced one experiences a sense of renewed freedom, a sense of connection, peace and happiness

Conclusion:

Zero balancing is a wonderful Alternative therapy and it releases mental, emotional and physical tension. Zero Balancing helps patients to feel better equipped to handle daily pressures.

Introduction:

 Hundreds of medical practitioners in the West are trying Chelation therapy for the prevention and treatment of degenerative circulatory diseases. Proponents of this therapy assert that it is useful in Coronary Artery disease, hypertension, Atherosclerosis, peripheral circulatory disease, premature senility and many age related diseases.

What is EDTA?

EDTA is the most commonly used agent for Chelation.  EDTA is a synthetic amino acid it expands as Ethylene-diamine-tetra-acetic acid. It is administered into the body as a series of intravenous infusions. Initially, EDTA gained its reputation for removing toxic metal poisoning from the body and was used in a rare condition where the Calcium levels in the blood are high in the body. It was an accidental finding that EDTA also helps restore the impaired circulation, which has lead to its widespread use in Alternative Medicine.

How does EDTA work?

To put it in a simple way, EDTA acts as a scavenger and binds to atheromatous concretions in the blood vessels, thus cleansing the blood vessels, and helps making them supple, less hard and reduces their narrowing.

So, in chronic circulatory dysfunction, where the coronary arteries may be blocked, EDTA opens up narrow and blocked coronary artery and reduces the angina pain.   If there is a circulatory deficiency in the legs, EDTA helps by improving the circulation by removing the obstructing plaques in the lower limb blood vessels.  It works similarly on the kidney and the brain and improves their function.

Is Chelation alone enough?

 If elderly patients have a crippling disease and are bed-ridden, then Chelation should be tried in isolation.  But, if the patient is able to comply, then Chelation must be tried with Diet modification and Graded exercise programmes as a part of a comprehensive approach, which will help improve the normality of circulation in the entire body.

Conclusion:

Despite its wide spread use in Degenerative conditions, Chelation therapy has remained controversial; it has been much misunderstood and grossly under-investigated by mainstream medical professionals.

It is unfortunate that today, Cardiology has become extremely invasive and millions of patients are undergoing Angioplasty or Coronary Arterial Bypass Grafting.  The recurrence rate of Coronary Artery disease despite these procedures is high.  Many patients have to undergo repeat bypass operations or repeat Angioplasty, procedures which are extremely expensive, risky and emotionally painful.

A more open-minded search for a painless and a non-invasive option for these diseases should be made and perhaps, Chelation therapy may be the answer to the crippling and potentially fatal vascular diseases.

MEPHITES.

It is a great remedy for whooping cough with a suffocative feeling and asthmatic paroxysms.

It is useful whenever there is a tendency for the food to go to the esophagus.

It is useful whenever there are mucous rales in the upper part of the chest.

This remedy is similar to Drosera, Corallium and Sticta Puls.

 TIPS FROM THE MASTERS…

We have been neglecting this in the acute phases of Asthma. If one sees an asthmatic attack, with difficult exhalation, marked coughing and aggravations at night, this remedy is well indicated: MEPHITES.

Dr. Robert. L.  Redfield.

 MEPHITES if taken in a low potency when one is exhausted; it tones up the nervous system and relieves the exhaustion.

Dr. E. A. Farrington, M.D.

  Dry cough following Influenza: Sudden, spasmodic burst of violent cough, hurting the lower ribs greatly: MEPHITES.

Dr. O. S. Haines, M.D.

 Introduction:

 Laughter is an infective phenomenon and among all the 84 lakh creations of God, only man is endowed with the faculty of laughter.  In fact, man is the only animal that ‘laughs and weeps’.

 Many laughter clubs have sprung up in Mumbai, where senior citizens gather in parks and bellow their guts out.  Many people snigger at these practices, but laughter is definitely associated with good health.

 Medical Benefits of laughter:

• Studies by reputed Medical organizations have endorsed the value of laughter for positive health and in the control of neurosis.
• It is useful in helping release pent up emotions, resentment, anger, malice etc.
• Regular laughter before sleep has been seen to help insomniacs.
• Laughter has been useful increasing the Endorphins levels in the body and relieves pain in chronic sufferers of arthritis.
• It helps muscle relaxation.
• Promotes abdominal breathing and thus helps better oxygenation of the body.
• It helps in regulating stress by reducing the levels of cortisol, adrenaline and nor-adrenaline.
• Laughter increases the Immunity of the body by increasing the body’s natural killer cells, antibodies and immunoglobulins.
• Laughter has been seen to improve brain function, which has been studied by SPECT scanning.

 The Perspective from Indian Spirituality:

The Vedic view is that every person is made up of five sheaths, which cover the soul and they are;

• The Annamaya Kosha, which corresponds to the gross body and this, is nourished by nutritious and moderate food.
• The Pranaymana Kosha, which corresponds to the breath and it, is sustained by deep breathing.
• The Manomaya Kosha, which corresponds to the mind and its thoughts. This sheath is affected with negativity and has to be nourished with proper thoughts, pranayama and mind control exercises.
• The Vignayamaya Kosha, which corresponds to the Intellect and is sustained by knowledge.
• The Anandamaya Kosha, which is a sheath of joy and aspirants on the yogic path are extorted to discover this sheath and sustain this state.

 It is believed that the purpose of existence is for joy and all Indian Spiritual masters encourage laughter and positive thoughts and extort the neophytes to dump their sorrows and negativity into the graveyard, before plunging into a Spiritual way of life.

 Conclusion:

 Studies at Stanford University by Dr. William Fry have revealed that laughing 100 times a day is as good as jogging or exercising briskly for ten minutes.

It is not yet very clear, as to how laughter helps the body.  But as we grow older we laugh less.  A 6-year old child laughs about 250 to 300 times a day and an average adult laughs about 40 times per day and the serious and glum persons laugh less than 5 times a day.

Introduction:

Astrology is one of the ancient sciences that have been generally debunked by the Medical fraternity.  Historically there is evidence that Babylonians and Assyrians priest used to study the signs and omens and used Shamash- the Sun God and Adad- the Storm God. Astrology further developed in Rome and Greece.  After the Greeks, it was the Arabs who studied astrology.  Indian astrology has been a highly developed science and the astrological chart is plotted when the child is born, with meticulous care.  It is only in recent times that medical astrology has developed and astrologers are able to tell what a disease a person is likely to suffer from.

The Zodiac Signs and Diseases:

 ARIES Those under this sun-sign are prone to epilepsy, headaches, ringworm, paralysis and convulsions.

TAURIANS are prone to melancholia, violent and vindictive behaviur.

GEMINIANS are prone to rheumatic diseases of the arms and shoulders, aneurysms and insanity.

CANCERIANS are prone to breast and stomach cancers, Tuberculosis, asthma and swelling in the feet.

LEO’S are prone to heart diseases, spondylosis, fevers and jaundice.

VIRGOS are prone to intestinal diseases.

LIBRANS are prone to disease of the kidneys.

SCORPIOS are prone to disease of the sexual organs.

SAGITTARIANS are prone to hip joint disease, gout and rheumatism.

CAPRICORNIANS are prone to skin diseases, melancholia and hysteria.

AQUARIANS are prone to disease of the legs and ankles and are affected by cramps.

PISCEANS are prone to diseases of the feet, chronic fatigue and are vacillating in temperament.

Conclusion:

Several doctors who study astrology feel that it is possible to predict the genetic tendency of a child to develop a kind of disease.  Astrology can also predict casualty in an individual.   A Czechoslovakian Gynecologist, Dr. Eugene Jonas has used astrology to predict monthly fertility in women.  This method has been found to be 85% accurate. When this method is combined with the rhythm method, the reliability rates rise up to 98 %.  It may be fair to say that Medical Astrology might be able to point out one’s mental disposition and susceptibility to disease.
