Urgent query post TB

In order to benefit from homeopathic remedies,
Nosodes etc your entire case needs to be taken.
The remedy or series of remedies are chosen
By matching your symptoms with the materia medica.

A close match triggers your life force to heal-
Because our bodies will not tolerate any substance
Close to what is a disease state or unbalanced state.
This is why remedies are highly diluted and they
Are a molecular water copy of the substance.
The body recognizes the similarity if the remedy
Is correct, then the body raises life force to
Clear out the remedy and at same time clear
The real imbalance.

There are over 5000 remedies in the materia
Medica- one should not self medicate unless
It is for acute problems( cold, flu, indigestion)

There are no doctors On here- would be best
To see a good homeopath in person.

I know you are in London. Please google mike
Andrews homeopathy- he is a homeopathic
Supervisor of new homeopaths. He will do a free
15 minute Skype appt to see if you and he are
A good match to work together. If not, I am sure
He could direct you to competent other prescribers.

He is a good homeopath- I have interacted with
Him in the past, where he has helped educate
Me on some of his research.

Even though Tuberculinum is a good remedy to negate ill effects of TB, it's actually a series of medicines that makes the constitution robust and eliminate the toxins related to the disease.

In the past you have taken Calc. carb and Sepia and have reported that you did well on them, this is because they were anti tubercular remedies from anti miasmatic point of view.

So to answer if you can take tuberculinum now, certain questions need to be answered. How is your sensitivity? How are your eliminative organs doing? Is there a need to take tuberculinum based on prevailing symptoms? If not,is it going to be taken as an anti miasmatic and what would be the impact if you are in the middle of any treatment?

Are you taking puls 6c and sepia 6c under anybody's guidance? If yes what do they say about taking Tuberculinum?

Given your sensitivity, i'd rather you go with Bacillinum 200c. How do you generally do with dry cold and wet cold?

You have a baggage esp. history of malaria and tuberculosis. Even though remedies may be needed to address these, this should be integrated along with current treatment(a full case will be important to say what can you take currently) appropriately. And if you choose to take nosodes you will have to temporarily stop other medicines. If it's essential I will take the full case otherwise I will stop with light advice. A full case involves time and effort commitment.

Hi Buink

Like Simone says every username when clicked shows the profile and profiles carry either contact email id or phone number or both depending on who leaves what. It's the only way to find out contact details of any member out here. If somebody has not left any detail then no luck.

I'm all for self-prescribing and self empowerment. If one has followed me well, then they would understand that. But I really can not support impulsive self prescribing. If you can not wait a few days for a response then that's not good at all.

Now the deed done, wait, observe and a single dose won't do---will have to repeat three to four doses giving 15 to 30 days gap.

No problem with your self help or frustrated with others' help not helping quite--it's relatable. Only problem is you raise a question then not waiting for an answer you go ahead with the dose. With self help you need to show some discipline. Maintain a note book---will help you. Write down the date and time and record changes over next few weeks on it. Also when you choose a medicine and a potency write down 5 or 10 strong reasons why you choose them---include one or two h'paths quotes who support the remedy for that symptom set. This would help you in long run.

No need to switch to Bacillinum---switching remedies often is not a good idea. Continue Tuberculinum doses. Also now I know that you are an artist, Tuberculinum is a good choice. Even before I would have recommended Tuber. in due course but Bacillinum was a safe choice to start with in sensitive patients.

Hi Buink

A good response till now. Do not mechanically set the gap as 15 days, you can based on intuition, decide the gap between 15 and 30 days.

You can repeat for three to four times normally. If you can tolerate more you can do it for six doses maximum. If you continue to do well on these doses and any other medicine does not come up strongly in the intervening period, then we can try 10M as well. In patients who have had TB in the past, ascending potencies of 1M, 10M upto 50M have provided resiliency against the recurrence.

If you can tolerate six doses then after that 10M doses can be done. We need to wait and see how things move.

Yeah it's time to move onto 10M. Gap would be 30-60 days approximately based on the feeling that it needs to be repeated than a mechanical gap.

You shall take three to four doses.

I was suffering with severe pain in my left knee. Also left feet was swollen and could not walk properly because of this reason. I took Bacillinum 200 10 drops 2 times a day for 10-15 days. Now I took one does of Bacillinum 1M, I feel very comfortable after the 1M dose.
I got my blood test done 2 days back, CRP is 34 and ESR is 60. I got this test done based on feedback I gave to my ortho to see how the treatment works and to monitor.

Please guide me on further dosage.

Ah Kvsbabu we're discussing TB history here, anything like that in your case? A little bit additional background information will help as well.

200 --10 drops twice for 10-15 days sounds a lot. Could have been less. Hopefully you didn't feel anything undesirable otherwise.

Dear Dr. Maheeru,

Background Information:
I am suffering with pains from last 25 years. My pains started with neck, later shoulders, spine, hip joints, and nowadays i get pain in knees (especially left knee) and ankle joints. Ankle joints are getting swollen if the disease activity is more. I get frequent throat infections/pains. Throat/neck is swollen. Stiff neck. Spine has become bamboo spine or is completely fused.

Allopathic doctors are calling this as "Ankylosing Spondylitis" from a long time. They confirmed based on a blood test called "HLAB27" which came +ve. Ever since this blood test HLB27 came +ve, I have been cursed!! For whatever issue I went to a allopathic doctor, they always says that "your condition and these are the symptoms are matching to Ankylosing Spondylitis and your disease activity level has increased. I have never get a proper diagnosis. I am also a human being. I do get cold, cough, fever, bacterial infections, viral infections etc...
My Observation is that whenever i get a cold attack or cough or fever, my pains increase and never comes back to regular pain condition. It takes a very long time to recover may be 6 months or a year also.

Recently I got my hip joints replaced in 2019 March. Before this in 2018 Nov 29th, I went with my cousin to bar and had a drink and a few cigarettes (Kindly note, I am smoker for around 25 years, I have stopped smoking since Nov 29th 2018.) and some chats. By next day morning, I got heavy running nose and cold, If I stand or sit the running nose liquid used flow out. if lie down to right, I used get head ache on right side of the head and if I lie down to left I used to get pain on left side of the head. Allopathic doctors gave antibiotics, it did not work properly, I still had the head ache. They changed antibiotics every 5 days for around 5 times at least in span of 1 month. Nothing worked. Slowly I developed diarrhea and weakness, developed pain in hips, swelling in knees, knee pain especially left knee was paining a lot, not able to walk, Was sitting at home till Feb 2019 and was not able to go to work. Got referred to Ortho and he diagnosed as osteoporosis and ankylosing Spondylitis. CRP was 47 and ESR was 80. He asked me to undergo hip joints replacement as they were getting fused and promised me that I will be able to walk again with out stick. Got my hip replacement done on March 2019, underwent physiotherapy etc.. was able t walk with walker initially and later with a walking stick and then was able to walk with out a stick. In between on April 15 2019, me and my wife had big fight and she pushed me and I fell down and my left femur bone got broken. I had to undergo one more round of hip joint replacement for left hip. I was bed ridded for another 2-3 months. Was able to walk with walker and walking stick after that. I was getting pain in right hip some times. Surgeon said it may time some time and said may be due to my ankylosing Spondylitis. Then I got used to walking with one walking stick. Started going to office with one walking stick from July 2019, After a few months in dec 2019 I was exercising in park and my left collar bone got fractured. Again started sitting at home. By February, I went back to office with out a waling stick, After I went back to office, my feet got swollen in two days time, urine was yellow when i sit in AC at office, i could not wear shoes as both ankles were swollen and knee pain recurred, this time it was right knee, pain in hip joints, right hip paining more, difficulty in walking, started using stick again. Got physiotherapy done, nothing worked. Surgeon diagnosed, CRP was 37 and ESR was 60 and as usual he said my ankylosing Spondylitis disease activity has increased. This is when I lost trust on allopathy. I stated practicing homeopathy on my own self. I am also an uveitis patient. I have developed low vision over the years. In early stages, Uveitis used to reoccur once in 2 years and recently it was reoccurring once in 3-6 months. I got my Cataract done in June 2020. After listing down my symptoms and verifying it on Schwabe website with the medicine. I had found Sabal Pentarkan as good choice. Little bit pain came down. I did some more research and thought of taking Bacillus Coli 200 CH might stop permanently. I went to pharmacy, accidentally and luckily, the pharmacist has given me Bacillinum 200 CH which I had not observed as I had a low vision, It was starting from letter B, I thought she has given Bacillus Coli 200 CH. I took Bacillinum 200 CH 20 drops 3 times a day with noticing what is the medicine. In three days time all my pains got vanished, I suddenly felt like as though I have become 25 years younger and was able to sit down on low height chairs and getup properly without support and walk normally like others. I took it almost a month or so, This time I got my CRP was 7 and ESR was 40. But if I stop taking Bacillinum, the pains were coming back. And I was getting slight heart pain hence I had to stop Bacillinum. But started to manage with pain killers and stopped Bacillinum. Until recently, from last 2-3 weeks, pain killers are also not working, hence I started Bacillium 200 10 drops 2 times a day for 15 days and now 1M from couple of days. Currently left knee and left ankle/feet left side pains and left ankle left side is getting swollen. Currently I am taking Vovelarc 50 mg 2 times day along with Bacilllinum 1M 1 dose per day. But still pains are coming back within less than 24 hours. So today I started 2 doses of 1M per day. I am feeling comfortable and left ankle/feet pain is not there after taking the 2nd dose.

With all these experiences and where in Bacillinum is able to reduce my pains, I am assuming that I have TB. Hence request your help and assistance to get cured this permanently. Kindly please help, really, I have seen hell on earth for last 25-27 years.

Off late, after the 29th Nov 2018 incident, if i stand along with my cousin while is he smoking. The next day, i get severe pains all over the body, especially the joints. I take bacilinum 200 10 drops 2 times a day for days, I come back to normal.


Kind Regards
Babu

kvsbabu in the above case we're dealing with secondary effects of TB far removed from the primary phase and things went well with minimal intervention. I don't think the situation is same with your case. Not sure what results did TB diagnostic tests return. Your case may require close supervision and a good deal of time and effort, which unfortunately I'm not in a position to provide. Do you have some h'path or homeopathic dr whom you can work with in-person?

Dear Dr. Meheeru
Today, I have given for a TB diagnostic test (QuantiFERON TB Gold Test). I do not have any h'path or homeopathic dr whom I can work with in-person. Pls suggest h'path or homeopathic dr who can take up my case and close supervision and who can spend good deal of time and effort.

I don't have specific recommendation. To work with someone towards a good result, wavelength and compatibility are important. Please check out based on your comfort levels.

Some observations:
You said you stopped Bacill. after slight heart pain. So I'm not in favour of daily doses be it 200 or 1M. You should be able to space them apart by a week or two.

Another suitable adjuvant remedy(probably a polycrest) may also be needed.

Dear Dr. Meheeru
Does ABChomeopaty.com offer any homeopathic doctors?
I got heart pain as took Bacillinum for a month long. Nowadays when I take doses for 3-5 days continuedly also I am not getting heart pain.

I stopped Bacillinum for last two days. Now again my Left ankle/foot is swollen and it pains severely when i try keep the foot down or walk. Left Knee is also paining. Left elbow joint on upper side is also paining. Left Wrist, the place you check pulse, that nerve is swolen and it pains also. Not able to type at a normal pace on the keyboard due to this. Hence, i am planning to take Nucoxia 60 mg 1 tab, 1 vovelarc 50 mg tab and Bacillinum 1M - 5 drops tonight.

I am still waiting for the TB Gold test result.
please advice on the polycrest medicines to be taken.

Abchomeopathy does not offer doctors. ABC Forum is an informal community where any body can ask or answer or express an opinion. Members volunteer here. You may check profiles or body of work to see if any one's approach may appeal to you. But I was referring to in-person access which you can only get in your place.

Polycrest is a remedy with action on multiple spheres (e.g calcarea). Adjuvant is something that can aid a nosode and also amplify it's effect. We can not depend on nosode (like Bac.) alone, that shows when symptoms bounce back every day. We need a good case taken and relevant remedy or remedies to give consistent relief.

Dear Dr. Meheeru,
Understand, I need a homeopathic doctor. Will try to get one who can give some personal attention and care for a daily basis. Which calcarea would you recommend? What potency and dosage would you recommend? Please advice.
